Dealing with two accounts on one machine
by Guest Charlie- 1 reply
- 141 views
This is sort of a generic question. The OS is XP Pro with SP3. We have two user accounts setup. Some features, applications etc. are separate on one account compare to the other. As a simple example each of us has different desk tops and we use different operating systems. But when I decided that my desk top was too cluttered and deleted a bunch of short cuts that were rarely being used, I got a comment from the other account holder that the short cuts had been removed from her desk top. While this is a non problem, it does raise a question. Where can I find a list of those features etc. that are common to all users and which ones are individual…

Beta testing website

Hi All, This is a bit off-topic but may be of interest to some people. I have just found a website that looks interesting. It lets companies register their products for beta testing, and testers specify what sort of products that they would like to test. Sort of a beta testing dating service - Membership is free. It look like it is just starting out, but is a promising concept. Betatestnow.com Cheers Mike

ts2003, users hung at black screen
by Guest anthony- 5 replies

i have a clean build 2003 standard server, with TS installed in application mode. Users have been complaining of getting logged or bumped off after 15 min or so. Some of them just have their screen go black and lose the entire desktop. If they close their remote window and re login the get back to the desktop their session is still alive with the applications running. It's like a screen saver kicks in and locks the TS session and the ony resoluton is to close the session window and reconnect every few minutes. They are very frustrated. They are all running windows xp pro through our sonicwall VPN tunnels. Ping statistics through the tunnel to the TS serve…

NUVTwain.dll is missing
by Guest Millie- 2 replies
- 197 views
I use Windows XP and Photoshop CS. I recently launched Photoshop CS and received an error message that the NUVTwain.dll was missing and that reinstalling the software might resolve the problem. I did, and it didn't. However, once I manage to get rid of the message I seem to be able to use Photoshop as normal. Then I reinstalled my scanner software and drivers and received the same error message. When I try to scan, the message pops up again. And again when I get rid of the message I can scan a document into Photoshop. Can anyone tell me why I lost this dll, what it does and how I can reinstall it? Thanks -- Millie

Wrong Icons and File Type

- 124 views
The file types of media files on my PC have got mixed up. Most media files on my PC now have the Winamp filetype as their icon in Windows Explorer, even though they do not open in Winamp when you double click on them by default. In addition, in the 'File Type' section of Explorer, all of these files are listed as 'Winamp Media File', even though they are associated with other programs, such as WMP9 and flvPlayer. How can I put this right? Thanks

Question about DVI and dual monitors
by Guest Gregg Hill- 6 replies
- 266 views
Hello! I want to have two identical Acer AL1917 LCD displays set up as their own views, and not just a clone. I bought an AGP card with one DVI and one VGA connector, and when I hook up the displays, the one connected to the VGA output is FAR less bright than the DVI one, even at max contrast and brightness. Backgrounds are grey, menu bars are brown instead of grey, etc. I now want to hook up both to DVI, and I have Googled a little bit and found references to DVI splitter cables to use with dual monitors. Which is better, using one DVI output split into two DVI, or buy a dual-DVI card? Can a dual-display setup work off of one DVI that is split, and s…

Wi-Fi & LAN network problem
by Guest Ganz Doof- 2 replies
- 177 views
My XP laptop has suddenly developed a problem whereby it cannot connect either to an active Wi-Fi hotspot or to a LAN internet connection. The Network Connections window shows "Limited or No Connectivity" although other computers work just fine when connected to the same LAN cable and in the same room with Wi-Fi enabled. Do you have any suggestions as to what I can do to fix the problem? Also, the computer has become very sluggish and takes a long time to start and shut down of late. I ran CCleaner, but that did not seem to help. Any other ideas besides defragging? Thanks
