I have brought my old Win 98 SE back to life for my grandsons (ages 5 & 6) to play their internet games (specifically http://www.totaldramaisland.com). I worked with MEB on the Win 98 Networking forum and he was very helpful. I have now performed my Windows Updates, installed IE6, Avast Antivirus, Kerio Personal Firewall. Installed Flash 9 (which shows up in Add/Remove programs as Adobe Flash Player ActiveX). Additionally, he suggested I install SUN JAVA. At the http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index_jdk5.jsp I found Jave SE Downloads-Previous Release_J2SE 5.0 I can find J2SE API V 1.5.0 Beta1, J2SE API V 1.5.0 Beta 2, and J2SE API V 1.5.0RC, but …

I'm very green to TS and this is my first TS deployment. I thought everything was good to go. I added our 10 licenses as per user CALs since we have 6 users that may jump between 12 different computers. The CALs are installed and I thought everything was good to go since everyone was connecting w/o a problem. Today I was told they are getting a message when they login that their license expires in 4 days. So I went to the Terminal Service Licensing window. Sure enough it shows a bunch of Temporary Licenses issued and 10 User CALs available. So how do I get these user CALs tied to a specific user and get them off the temp licenses?

I have an XP SP2 computer that is running Microsoft Works 7.0. When I amsaving a file in the Word Processor, I click on Save As, and the Save As Dialog box will open. In the filename field, there is a list of strange characters that I have never seen before. I go ahead and erase these characters and then type in a relevant filename. For example, I will call a file customerinfo.wps for example. Later on when I go to open the file in the Works Task Launcher, the file name is a single character, such as c.wps. If I click on it, the file is there. How is the filename getting changed all the time and how can i fix it? Thanks for any ideas. Jeff

Hello. I Have installed a new server 2008 as a Primary domain controller. The rest of the servers are 2003 server and all the clients are windows XP professional. I'm trying to deploy printers to the users with group policy. Each user will have only the printers that are defined in the policy. What is the best way to perform this? 1-Install the printer in this PDC, go to print management and deploy the printer to the correspondent policy? 2-Directly create a rule in the policy "user configuration-->preferences-->Printer" Both options are not working very well. With the second option i can install some printers, others are not installed. I…

Im running xp and have recently installed and uninstalled a few games and am currently having a lot of difficulty installing anything further if i double click on the .exe file the system does not respond. i thought restoring things using my xp cd thing would fix the problem but after the computer restarted it said it was missing file "ag3n1d7n.sys" from file "c:\$WIN_NT$.~BT\ag3n1d7n.sys" and cancels the setup any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated

Hello there. I have a corrupt registry and am trying to follow the instructions in this knowledgebase article: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B307545 I would prefer to run the Guided Help (now partly because one of the files I'm supposed to repair in the manual instructions cannot be copied and I don't know what to do), but I don't know how to run a program when Windows won't start, and there are no instructions in the KB article. Which is strange, because it's right there in the title: "...prevents Windows from starting" so they should probably have instructions for how to run an exe file when you can't start Windows. Any…

I have almost made a final decision to use an Intel S5000XVN Motherboard for a computer that I will use for Digital Photography. I will download the images from my DSLR, edit the images and then print them on an Epson 4800 Printer. I also need to make a decision about which processors. Is there any forum where Intel S5000XVN boards are discussed? Is anyone here using one for digital photography? I have looked at the Intel site and Emailed them but there replies are not helpful. Does the board really need an extended ATX case. Thanks for any assistance. Bob AZ

Yes, if you go to the Appearances tab and select Icons from the drop down, you cant set the font size (and the font itself) there. .... and registry cleaners are frowned upon around here :-)

Dyslexia strikes again! Soemwhere during installation of MS Office 2000 on my Win98SE, I misspelled my company name by inverting two letters. Went unoticed for eons. Now, after noticing this error and upon creating a file, I have to manually go to the new .xls, .doc, and ?? file, click on 'Properties' and correct the spelling. Sometimes forget. I don't want to reinstall anything, because everything is set up just the way I want it [except for spelling]. Is there some simple way to change the spelling that appears under 'company name'?

I'm using XP SP3 and I tried to change the file association for some .php files. Currently, these files are associated with Dreamweaver because I installed a trial of DW. I have decided not to buy DW, and the trial has expired so now I need to change the file associations for .php files to my current HTML editor, which is notepad++. In explorer, I right-clicked on one of the .php files and selected Open With>Choose Program...>Browse>Program Files>Notepad++>ansi>notepad++.exe. However, when I clicked OK, then on the Open With dialog screen, Notepad++ is still not an option. I don't understand what I am doing wrong. Thanks, Cyndi

WinXP Pro SP3 Hi. I have to frequently change my folder default from Details to Thumbnails and back. I use the Views button, but it has become my default view, so I additionally have to click Folder Options button > View tab > Apply to all folders > Yes > OK. Is there a shorter method with less clicks, such as a batch file maybe? Thanks, Melina

Hi, Currently I’m running into some issues which occur on each and every windows 2003 server that I’m managing: When someone logs in on a server the csrss.exe process starts to use up a lot of disk I/O. It seems to have a minimum of 10 MB/s with a maximum of 80 MB/s although the average seems to be around 30 MB/s. The high I/O continues until the user logs off. The high I/O also stops completely when (and this is especially weird) the Terminal service client screen is minimized, but high disk activity will resume as soon as the screen is restored. I am aware of knowledge base article 934330, and even though the article in question states the fix…
