Password Management Products
by Guest Thomas M.- 2 replies
- 267 views
This isn't really an XP question, but I didn't know where else to pose this question. If anyone knows of a better group to which this question could be posted, please let me know. We are looking a password management product to help us keep track of passwords on everything from Excel sheets to admin accounts. Another unit in my division uses a product called Password Manager XP, which they seem to like. I have no opinion regarding that product because I have never used it. I would be interested in hearing about competing products. I would also be interested in the pros and cons of specific products (including Password Manager XP) that people have u…

User Always get Temporary Profile
by Guest Brian- 3 replies
- 362 views
Hi All, User has windows XP pro SP2. Problem is that every time he logs in, he gets an error message that a temporary profile has been created. In trying to find a solution for this problem, we have renamed all the existing profile folders (except administrator) on his system and also deleted any references to unknown profiles in the User Profiles window. I checked his registry settings and there are no references to his account left. So as far as I can tell, it should create a new profile in his name, yet every time it creates a temporary profile. Although the user is on a network and logs on to our domain at startup, his profile is supposed to be l…

Windows XP Sp3 Stop Errors
by Guest fusa- 11 replies
- 564 views
I am getting stop errors in Windows Xp Sp3. This started happening in September, but is getting more common now. Most of the errors have been 7e, but some 8e errors. I originally tried doing a rollback to a week before the stop errors started, but that didn't help. I then tried reinstalling XP but the same problems exist. I ran memtest86 for about 9 hours with 9 passes and 0 errors. The smart diagnostics on all hard drives report the drives as being good. Chkdsk /f also did not return any errors. The stop errors that the most recent install of XP has generated are located at http://rapidshare.com/files/157140856/mini.rar.html

RE: Outlook Express Archived E-mail folders Peter, Sorry to use this reply method to get a question across, but I am unable to figure out how to post a question. Do you happen to know how I am able to get rid of the pop-up box in Outlook Express that asks "To free up disk space, Outlook Express can compact messages. This may take up to a few minutes"? Then I must select "Ok" or "Cancel." If I cancel the pop-up occurs everytime I close Outlook Express; if I "Ok" it, I lose current emails in my in box! -- Julie "Peter VandeBurgt" wrote: > I cannot open my archived e-mail stored as *.dbx files through the Files menu > and 'Compact' …

I recently re-installed a sony vaio computer to windows media center edition 2005(that's the computer's original version) When I plug in the ethernet cable into the network card, and open up my browser, it tells me that there is no internet connected. I try the cable with my laptop, works fine, with my other computer, it works fine as well. What do I need to do for the internet to work? It's not a problem with the internet for sure its something with the computer. I tried to set up a network, made a couple too. What am I doing wrong? thanks

Restoring Terminal Server licenses
by Guest JK in Nebraska- 1 reply
- 465 views
My SBS 2003 server crashed the other day. When I restored system state, several key applications would not run. In order to get the system back up and running, I ended up with a new installation then restored AD and Exchange. One of my remaining problems is that this server also acted as a terminal services license server. Unfortunately, all of the terminal server license ducumentation was misplaced during a recent move and I have yet to locate them. Is there a way to recover the terminal server licenses from backup without restoring the system state?

Temporary Internet Files Cookie Loacation
by Guest Tony P.- 1 reply
- 301 views
I have a question concerning the Temporary Internet Files folder. It seems, for some reason, this location is used to store many of the cookies which are planted on my PC. For most of these cookies, I don't care if they get deleted. But for some of the cookies, it is important that they remain all the time. My question is, when running MS Disk Cleanup, one of the locations that is made available for cleanup is the Temporary Internet Files folder. If I select this location for cleanup, what actually get deleted from this folder? -- Thanks, Tony For replies, please correct my email address.
