I have a client that has a WINDOWS 98SE Laptop. He has been using the laptop for years to connect to a handful of XP Pro computers using the Win98 RD Client. Suddenly he is getting the message "The client could not connect to the remote computer ..." on about 50% of the computers he tries to connect to. These are computers that he was previously able to connect with. If I try to connect to these unreachable machines using an XP box I am able to make the connection. Nothing has changed on his end, and the connections are actually saved as shortcuts (I have tried re-creating them on the fly, but this didn't help). Has some windows update occurred on the remo…

Hi I have an ibm thinkpad x23, and shut it down about an hour ago. When I went to reboot , all the lights come on then they go off and only the light with the z in a circle stays on. The screen stays blank and the hard drive spins. Could I have deleated the bios when I added memory (shocked the motherboard?) Thanks for any help!

Hi All, This problem may seem simple, but please read the entire article before you respond since the problem is a little more complex than it might first appear. I have a dv8000z laptop. It came pre-installed with WindowsXP[sp2]. Being OEM, it came pre-activated. I have been using the machine for about 10 months with no problems or need to re-install. I have been playing with Linux for a couple of weeks and found that I can run VMPlayer under Linux. Now here is where it gets complicated. I created a VM that uses the EXISTING install of WindowsXP. This is important. I am NOT installing a second copy of WindowsXP. I start up the VM and everyth…

H Guys, brand new install, Server 2003 (x32). SO OK, I put together this nice new Windows Server 2003 (x32), join it to the domain, and enable TS. I then connect to it remotely as Administrator, all's well. So let's take the KB/mouse off and run her headless, move her into the server room. Apps are installed as Admin, all is well. Go for it guys, use it. 'The policy of this system does not allow you to logon interactively', HUH? Even though Terminal Services is installed the server is acting like 'Remote Desktop', 2 sessions and Admins only. I've just been in (remote) and removed the tick from the TS win component, used Petri notes to enable R…

I'm running on a wireless network, so I don't need to know that my net cable is unplugged. Neither do I want the windows wireless icon, because it don't work rite half the time anyway. I do want my Broadcom icon, because it tells me the truth, and I also want to ALWAYS see my battery icon, even when the power is plugged in, so I can see when it's charged up. So, I right click on the taskbar, go to properties, customize, and pick Always Hide, or Always show, as the case may be, Apply, OK. Next time I boot up, it goes back like it was!!!!

Task manager shows me that of the many applications running on my XP machine the only one using significant CPU resources is "System Idle Process" taking 95 CPUs (anyone know what the units are??).

I recently had to re-install XP on my home computer after it kept shutting itself down and rebooting. When I got back up and running, my photos, document, and itune files (among others) ended up missing. I've checked my backup disc and still not having any luck. Any suggestions on retrieval software?

I am just learning about server 2003, and have a few questions that don't seem to be addressed in books. 1. When do I need to have the server in a domain and not a workgroup. I only need to network 5 computers and was told that using a workgroup is much easier. 2. If I use a workgroup and not a domain or active directory, then do I need to install DNS. 3. Why or when would I want or need to go more advance and use a domain, AD and DNS? Thanks, Fitz
