Here is the setup: WinXP Home SP3 Up to date. Disk 1 System Drive C (Primary) Data Drive D (Extended) Disk 2 Backup Drive F (Primary) 117,232MB Total 54,569 used It contains, mostly, Acronis .tib files. Some are small but most are 5g's or larger. The problem: When I run XP's Search for all of or part of a file name on F:, I get the following message. Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library Runtime Error The application has requested the runtime to terminate in an unusual way. I have done the following: Ran AVG and found no problems Ran Chkdsk and found no problems System Restored but that didn't solve it. Then I created new fol…

This is kind of an usual situation; approximately 50 users whose primary use of the network is to RDP into a server to use a company application. It is a Windows 2003 server that was setup as a DC. The clients are Vista and XP, all Home edition. So none of the computers are joined to the domain (I know, unusual). The server is backed up at night by Scheduler using xcopy in a batch file. Everything seems to work fine with the backup. But, almost every day, files and sub-folders turn up missing from one particular folder on the server. They are primarily Word and Excel files (all accessed locally using RDP). I redirect the output of the xcopy com…

I gave permission to share a calendar in the office, but it's not working. Some of the users have 2003 and the rest have 2007. I've tried several times, but no one can get to it. Can anyone help? Thanks

Second time I wanted to do this. I need to make a list of the files in a folder. I did it the hard way last time by taking screen shots and saving them. Is there a better way to create a list? -- Jim, an engineer using Excel not wisely

I'm confused... Does the TS licensing server need to be on a domain controller? I have a 2003 TS where I have the licenses installed. Recently we deployed a 2008 TS published apps. my boss told me to move the licenses to that 2008 member server. Since then my 2003 TS cannot see a TS Licensing server and says its under the grace period again, BAH! Do I need a 2008 domain controller to host the TS Licenses? and then the 2003 TS will "see" the licensing server? Any help, thank you so much, RandyH

I have a couple of domain controllers running Windows Server 2003 Standard with SP2 and I'd like to know if it's possible to upgrade them to the Enterprise edition? Basically, I need to do this as IAS on the standard version only supports up to 50 devices and I need to add more devices. Apparently the enterprise version of IAS supports more devices. Thanks!

One pc this morning is constantly receiving runtime error 21 at " " There are different codes. The event log is showing winlogon 1002 warnings. After you click ok on the error, windows does a mini-reload. It reloads the personal settings and goes through this over and over again. Any ideas what is going on? Virus? Faulty OS?

In my Windows XP Home SP2 installation, some of my applications no longer launch. Clicking the desktop icon fails to launch the program. No error message, nothing. Nor can I start them by using the Start menu. Some of the applications are third party (Adobe Reader, Photoshop CS2), but some are windows applications (Notepad, Wordpad, Media Player). The remaining apps operate as normal. If I use Window Explorer to locate the appropriate exe file in the Program Files sub directory, then double click the file, it still fails to launch. However, if I use Start > Run, then navigate to the appropriate exe file, they do launch properly. What is the difference?…

First off I apologize if this is posted in the wrong area. Is there a way to find out when the 10 times a computer was logged into? Not boted up... but a locked computer that was logged into. It's not that i need to go 10 back but i need more than just the last time it logged on. is there anything in event viewer or on the server? i don't need the name of who logged in just a history of when this computer was logged in date/time. Thank you for any help on this matter. Matt

Hello, Some times at some PC's in domain "applaying computer settings" is after logon. Any one know why "applaying computer settings" is after logon ? Almost in all case after gpupdate "applaying computer settings" back to normal - execute before logon. Redgards Bildos

I hope this is the correct newsgroup. I have tried to hire local computer businesses in the area to help configure my network but they have not been able to solve my problem. The business that setup my network is no longer in business. Now I am trying to solve it myself. With Windows XP pro (my work) and home (my house) I remote with windows remote desktop to a Windows 2003 server R2 for business purposes (POS application that is currently not being used daily because of this problem). I can connect but the connection is flaky. What I have tried: Installed Keepalives on server and remote computers. Changed ISPs except at server location. I have had …

I am looking for a video capture device with drivers for 64-bit Vista. I would like to use it to capture video from my VCR that I can later burn to a DVD. Does anybody know of such a device? I have not been able to find one for 64-bit Vista. Thanks in advance for your help! Kevin

I have a network of three computers, two running windowsxp and one running windows98. Networking between all three is okay except for one of the XPs. This XP,\\ACER_PENT, can see every other computer's shares and read them. However when I attempt to access the shares of the \\ACER_PENT from either of the other two computers I get a message that \\ACER-PENT <filename> is not accessible. The shares show up on My Network Places, but when I attempt to access I get the not accessible message. What could the problem be on \\ACER_PENT? TIA

Every time I boot I get a pop-up window asking "Do you want to install Microsoft OLE automation?" There are two option: yes and no. If I select yes it starts to install. Then I'm told there are newer files existing, do I want to overwrite existing files? A yes answer and it continues, a no answer it stops. If I select no the pop-up window goes away and booting completes. No matter what I do the next time I boot I get the same damn pop-up window with the same question. How do I get rid of this annoying window? I have XP MCE, Service Pack 3. I'm not positive but I think this started when I installed SP3.
