Legacy Windows Archive ( Read Only )

Hi there, At the risk of asking what sounds like a lazy question, does anyone know of any good introductions/tutorials to the Windows user security model (XP, Vista and Server 03/08)? What I mainly want to learn is user accounts and file permissions (and how they work together). Strange as it may seem, it's harder to find well-explained material on this than I'd have expected(!) Any help appreciated- thanks! - Triffid

I prefer my Word 97 to any newer Word version. However, with Vista I get this error message when I print from Word 97. winword.exe-Application error The instruction at ox776d82b8 referenced memory at ox000000.... The memory could not be read. What I do now, is I copy the Word 97 file to a new version of Works, and print it there. Is there a solution, as I want to use Word 97 in Vista. By the way, I can print envelopes in Word 97?

I have two Terminal Servers (Windows 2003) one of them controlling the licences. The second server has just been added to run a specific application. I want each server to have its own licence pool as each caters for a different set of remote users within the same active directory. I cannot see how to do this. I have a 25 pack of licences for one server and a new 10 pack for the other. I do not want to simply top-up the 25 as this will inevitably lead to one group of users hogging the licences. The licencing mode is per user and one server has been in operation for 3 years. Can anyone suggest a way to ration ts cals in this way?

I have a server with several ips installed on the same interface. I am doing some many to one nat on my FW and would like to test the external address that i have assosciated with these ips. In linux i would run a ping -s "source ip" address. I only see in windows a ping -s for ipv6. Does this exist for ip4 at all in windows 2003? Thanks for the help guys.

When I try to remove Google Earth 3.0 I get the following: The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package "Google Earth.msi". I don't have Google Earth.msi on my computer, so how can I get rid of this version? I can download the latest version of Google earth but when I try to run it, it says my current version is 3.0 and I need to upgrade to 4.3. So somehow I need to get rid of version 3.0.

Gurus, Running Windows XP Pro SP3. I run my computer as a limited (non-administrator). There is one program I need to launch as an administrator, and I certainly know how to right-click and select "Run As" and input administrative credentials. But what happens is if I save data under that program it goes to the Administror's My Documents and not to my own. So I need to figure out how to use "Run As" but send data to my profile. This would apply to Windows Server 2003 as well I guess. -- Spin

On a Windows 2003 server, SP2 installed we have the Terminal Licensing Server running, setup using "Per User" CALs. Initially we started out with 25 of these until we purchased an additional 20 to get us to 45 users. Everything works fine until we reach the original 25 limit. Once 25 are in use, users are unable to connect. When going into the "Terminal Server Licensing" screen on the server, it displays three lines (slightly abreviated below): Product Type Total Available Issued ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Existing Win…

For the longest time, booting up my system has always given me a warning popup indicating the ewgmfxd.dll could not be found. I would simply click OK and continue. I decided to investigate and did a search. The results gave me one file named ewgmfxd.dll.{a whole bunch of numbers here}. So, I simply renamed it by removing the .{842833282988489342389whatever} so it was back to its original name. I then did a virus scan on the file which indicated it was fine. So I rebooted my system hoping all would be fine and I would never see that popup warning again. No such luck. It now says something about the file not being a proper windows driver file. I click the OK…

Im running XP3.Whenever I run a saved MHTML document in IE7,the document always cannot open but appear the scripts error.Please kindly assist to solve. Error message: Warning: This page requires the use of scripts, which your browser does not currently allow.

When trying to download and install SP3, I received a message several times along the way that certain service pack files could not be copied, and did I want to go ahead and install without them? There were several of these files that could not be copied, here's an example: -comadmin.dll ("cannot read from the source file or disk") -slbcsp.dll ("data error-cyclic redundancy check") -sqlolebb.rll ("data error-cyclic redundancy check") -wmsdmod.dll ("data error-cyclic redundancy check") At this point I aborted the installation. Should I go ahead and install without these or further files that may not be able to be copied? How important are they?
