Hi I'm buying a new machine soon which will have Vista Home Premium, 64 bit. One of my favourite programmes is Google Earth, and it's own website says it doesn't work with 64 bit systems (although some users seem to have found workarounds). Is it possible with Vista to tell some programmes to work in 32 bit mode? Or does anyone here already run GE on such a system? Thanks

Some questions about batch files….. So, I have a batch file called batch1.bat. Within that batch file, I have 5 commands that kick off different reports from our ERP app.. I would like to be able to tell the batch file this: If it is 2am on Monday, kick off report 1, but don’t touch the others. If it is 3 am on Tuesday, kick off report 2, but don’t touch the others. If this is possible, how would i script this out?

Viewing the following URL ... http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa139672.aspx in IE but can't expand and view the MSDN Library tree. Clicking on the '+' icon does nothing. Anyone know why? And, what do I need to do in order to expand and view the TOC?

I know this is a bit of an odd question... but... If I wanted to make an XP computer temporarily unusable by, say, *renaming* <boot.ini>, could I subsequently (in order to restore its usability) gain access to the renamed file by tapping on the (F8)-key during startup? Or, would I have to do something more involved... like booting from a CD or memory stick? Thanks, —Thri

Here's a weird issue, we're setting user home drives in ADUC as \\k2\home$\user.name For most people this is working fine, and shows up in XP as 'user.name on \k2\home$'. Now, I have one user who is having a issue. That location isn't getting mapped correctly. Their folder is there, but their computer just shows '\k2', no home$. We've removed the mapping from ADUC, and put it back in, let it confirm that the folder is there and tried again, same thing. Odd thing is, this seems to be happening on only 1 computer. If I use his profile info on another computer, it works fine! How can we fix this on his machine?

Got a Windows XP computer , with 60gb har drive hooked to it. I use Acronis as a true image backup to the USB drive. I have the full Acronis true image backup on the USB drive. If my pc crashes, and I put a new internal hard drive in (I assume I'll get it back from the shop with a fully functional bland disk): what do I need to do to get into the USB hard drive and run a recovery through the Acronis backup?

There is an error which shows up in the Event Viewer. It is about the Service Control Manager and its ID is 7000.

How do I go about clearing this error. Thank you very much.

In my Windows XP system event log, I see an error at every boot up saying: "The USB Flatbed Scanner service failed to start due to the following error: The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it." Source: Service Control Manage Event ID: 7000 I do not have a USB Flatbed Scanner. There is no "USB Flatbed Scanner" service listed in the Services list. Searching with Google has not revealed anything useful. Could this startup error have any adverse effect (like making Windows slower to boot) and if so, is there any way I stop this. Eddy.

Hi: I got a BIG PROBLEM.. I was trying to re-install my printer, & it said I had too little space on my C:/drive - so I went into Add/Remove programs, & got rid of 'something' that I needed.. Anyway, I re-booted the computer & now I got BIG icons on desktop.. Besides that, when I re-tried to install my printer, it says that my 'current setting' is 1 bit, & 'recommended setting is 16 bit' - which I can't change.. How do I get back to the 'normal size' icons, & change that 1 bit to 16 bit?? HELP?!?! PLEASE?? I need this help A.S.A.P!!!!!!

Hi folks, this error is starting to appear in event viewer (XP SP3) Sometimes this error appears, and the entry for the firewire appears (Its a PCI FW card) says its fine in device manager, but the icon for it doesnt appear in network connections. But at the mo, its a code 10 in device manager, and obviously there's no icon in network connections. Does it sound like the card is faulty, or should I try extracting the ohci1394 file, from the XP CD again, and replace it?

Hello all, I'd like some help on a Win98 Install. I had win2K on an old PC and formatted the HD then wiped it clean with Windows Washer via my Laptop.

Is there a way to unzip a .zip file from the command line using the built in Windows XP 'zip' file utility? I have a need to unzip a file from an SSIS package, and I am hoping to use the utility that comes with Windows XP. Thank you for your help! cdun2.
