Re: Language settings......... Pegasus, That didnt work for me. We have TS 2000 and want to do the same thing as Zeno did. I manually changed the language settings for some profiles so the language icon appears on the taskbar and the user can switch to another language. Isnt there a way to propogate this setting to all users. The language options in XP lets you apply this kind of change to all users and the default user profile. Any ideas?

Thanks for the help but I'm not the quickest learner - How do I get to "If Display tabs are missing, run Kelly's registry edit on line 285, right-hand side "Restore all display tabs". -- Jim Kreutzer

I cannot find a tab or option to access the screensaver mode. There is currently no screensaver set and I cannot locate the screensaver tab to customize. I went to control panel....then looked for the appearance tab but there is none. Please help......very frustrated!

I have XP SP3 installed and when (I think it's) Windows update accesses the internet just after startup, the rest of the computer almost comes to a standstill. If I start Task manager > Processes one of the several svchost.exe is taking 98-99% CPU time for about anything up to 4 mins after startup. I have 'Download updates and let me choose..' set. If I select 'Turn off Automatic Updates' my computer starts normally. This has developed lately, but I cannot deffinitely associate it with the installation of SP3. System is Athlon 3200, 1GB ram big HD and a 6Meg broadband connection. Any suggestions would be more than welcome.

Could someone please tell me how to change my email address in Microsoft Passport? I can't find any information anywhere in MS.

Hi all, I have an app that I need to run as a service. I used SRVANY and INSTSRV to accomplish this in the test XP Pro computer; however, I am having problems doing this on a Win 2003 Server (not SBS) SP1 computer. When I start the service nothing happens, no log is created. I then tried running the Calculator applet as a service and got same results. FYI: I did the same with XP Pro and Calculator started just fine. I had a look around and found articles such as: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=http://support.microsoft.com:80/support/kb/articles/q152/4/60.asp&NoWebContent=1 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/137890/EN-US/ http://support…

HELP cannot boot up my dell latitude laptop get below error I did not download or add any programs or files that changed anything at all STOP: c000021a {Fatal System Error} The Windows Logon Process system process terminated unexpectedly with a status of 0xc0000034 (0x00000000 0x0000000) The system has been shutdown.

I access my compter remotely and use an XP password to provide at least minimal security. If there is a power outage, I have the BIOS set to start the computer when power is restored. I also use a program to force a reboot if a program hangs which results in my not being able to access it. When it reboots, either after a power outage or a forced reboot, it stops at the password prompt before it loads Internet conectivity, which means that I can't access it remotely. Is there any way to get it to load Internet connectivity BEFORE the password prompt? TIA. -- --------------------------------- --- -- - Posted with NewsLeecher v3.91 Beta 2 Web @ http://www.ne…

I have a customer with a very big problem. If he opens the Internet Explorer from his terminal Server 2003, he is able to surf the internet as usual, but if he opens another program at the server Windows locks. I he closes the internet, the server locks totally for that user. He is able to press CtrlAltDel and enter the taskmanager. If he ends the processes IExplore and explorer and after that starts explorer as a new task he is able to run normally again – until he enters the internet again. I have tried the following. This happens for all users and directly on the server. Delete temporary internetfiles and cookies. Delete the content of C:\WINDOWS\IIS…

Re: synchronize windows xp clock I have had this problem for years! Courtney's answer was so totally simple and IT WORKED! Microsoft did not have a working answer in the multitude of places I looked.
