I have around 8 windows 2003 servers and want to monitor the CPU usage, processes and free disk space on all servers. Is there any way to monitor the same without going for a third party tool. Since we always want to be in safe with microsoft certified products. Also, we want to know, if any tool that is certified by microsoft. Thanks Shanthi

Dell Inspiron B130 - 1.5 Ghz Celeron - Windows xp Pro (all updates applied) I have a SanDisk Imagemate CFII card reader. EVERYTIME I connect to the USB port Windows launches intothe "Found New Hardware" routine. It tells me it is copying the driver to Windows/System32 folder. Yet, if I disconnect and re-connect the unit the "Found Neew Hardware" wizard launches again. What's the problem/fix? Thanks

Hello, I am looking for a way to record and play RDP sessions. I wonder of someone knows methods of rendering RDP protocol stream into the screen. For example, in Vista Microsoft provides the RDPViewer COM Object (used by Windows Desktop Sharing API) which renders RDP into the screen, however it requires actual TCP connection to the server and it does not accepts RDP packet streams. I know that there are some products that do so (like RecordTS), but I wonder if a simple functionality can be provided by Microsoft SDKs. Regards, momo

When booting up, I receive the following error message "file System32\DRIVERS\pci.sys is missing or corrupted; reload XP CD-ROM and type 'r' at que when booting your Windows XP based computer". Since I don't have an XP CD-ROM, and I got my computer second hand, is there a way I can fix this problem without having to purchase a second Windows XP. sem

Hi, At work my Word (2003) window at one moment has the size of an Outlook mail message. When I enlarge the Word window to fill the size of my screen, my Outlook messages will be filling the screen. Is there a way where the size of Window is independent of the size of my Outlook mail message? Abel

When I started up Win2000 sp4 today I got a message saying my password was going to expire in 14 days, and did I want to change it? I changed it to the same password and went on. But I'd like to know who has set this time limit on my Win2000 password, and how I can get rid of the time limit (or the need for a password for that matter). Can someone help with this? jc

Hi all, I edited my hosts file recently to block out a couple of ad-server domains and noticed it didn't do anything. Curious to test whether my hosts file worked at all, I directed http://www.google.com to 127.0.0.1 and ran IE. It promptly loaded http://www.google.com without any bother at all. I rebooted and still had the same issue. It seems the HOSTS file is being totally ignored. I've Googled for information on it but as far as I can tell, Windows XP still makes use of this file? I'm on XP Pro 64bit if that makes any difference? TIA, Alex

Because in order to view and access shares on the Win98 machine from the Vista machine, nothing much in particular should need to be done. Just your "basic" network setup should take care of everything. But if you want to access shares on the Vista machine from the 98 machine, it's a royal mess with several likely issues to deal with, the first…

Can you use a Win98 PC with dedicated printer attached as a print server for Vista laptop ? I can set up my printer to share over network and Vista laptop sees printer on network but Vista won't connect. Do I have to declare this legacy print server a Win 98SE machine somehow ? Probably more a Vista question and I have posted but thought someone must have experience in trying this.

HELP!!! I have an old Windows 98 Second Edition. Do I have to buy a newer version, like Vista, to be able to download Livewire Messenger? My browser says it can't connect to the internet.

I have a new Server 2008 server that is provided user file services. After a few hours the user shares slowly stop working user by user until no users can access the shares.

This is a brand new Dell 2950 III Server. Server 2008 was installed at Dell.

I have a dell laptop running XP sp3 it has a touchpad and I had a USB mouse connected. the cursor sometimes took on a mind of its own and starts drifting across the screen. At first I thought it was the mouse moving on the desk. when it didn't want to stop I unplugged the mouse and it kept going. I can't tell if it is an issue with the pad or s/w. and I don't know where to start looking. has anyone run into something like this? thx
