Hello, I have a client running Windows XP Pro SP2. We just swapped his PC and now he can't get any of his thumb drives to be recognized. He has three thumb drives that showed up fine on the old PC. I think they had random drive letters like I:\. His current PC has C and D used by the hard drive, E:\ by the CDROM and F:\ G:\ M:\ R:\ S:\ by mapped drives. I moved the CDROM to drive Z which allowed one thumb drive to grab drive E:\. However, I still can't get the other 2 thumb drives to show up. I already applied a patch from Microsoft that seemed like it addressed this issue - but it didn't. The patch was from KB297694. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Issue: A user on my network, needs to sync a few hundred files, but for some unknown reason at the moment, everytime he hits the sync button it will only sync 1 file. He has to constantly do this to sync all of his files. Has anyone seen this issue before? Im doing the typical google searches, but im hopesing some one here has seen this before. Thank you, Brendan

Hi all I am sure the bulk of the questions behind this topic are concerned with how to turn it off. But we print over a WAN and I need to ensure the successful print popup window appears for users who print to remote printers in other geographical locations. 1. I use HP printers everywhere with internal jet direct cards. 2. On both my Windows print server and the advanced print properties on each terminal server i have the following set under print properties>advanced tab: "Show informational notifications for network printers" and "Notify when remote documents are printed" Is there any other setting that could override these settings? Are the …

How can I change the font that is displayed in Windows Explorer's file and folder panes? Thanks much.

I have some clients who, for budgetary reasons, only have a single server (WS2008) in their office but would still like to have the benefits and security of using TS for their employees. Is it possible to configure a single server as a locked down TS (using GPOs) for use by multiple remote users? It's currently not configured as a domain controller, but I suppose could be. I realize a single server is not ideal...in fact I always recommend and have always configured scenarios with at least a separate TS and DC and file server. - anthonyx26

Every time I log off the "My Recent Documents" in Start Menu empties. How do I prevent this from happening? Thanking you in advance. Rajiv K. Khandelwal

Even though I have been able to move the location of the 'My Documents' from C-drive to G-drive, it won't let me move the 'C:\Documents and Settings\User\Recent' folder. Everytime I edit the registry key 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders' key to change the default location of 'Recent', it changes back to the default location after I reboot. Any recently opened documents still appear in the default folder rather than the new location: I just want to move it to another root drive, V: (another partion). TweakUI doesn't list the 'Recent' folder among its 'Special Folders'. I've checked my firewall options in case i…

I've got a workstation that is randomly locking. If it locks at all, it will usually lock in succession two or three times within a five to fifteen minute period when first booted in the morning. Then the rest of the day it's fine. So heat isn't the issue, as all fans are working properly and the case vents are all clear. The power supply is pretty new and is working within its voltage range. I've swapped out the video card. Memory has been tested repeatedly. It is virus/malware free, I'm absolutely sure of it. I first attempted updating all drivers. I thought I made progress but then it started again. Next I started removing items that would l…

When I shut down Windows file ccSvcHst tries to end. I then get a message that it is not responding and if I want to end task. After clicking yes, my computer takes a very long time to completely shut down (3 to 5 minutes). Any help with this problem will be appreciated. Johnny Mowad

The user i normally use is administrator and that user is a member of domain admins.... firewalls are turned off by GPO This setup is a simple one domain forest... Any idea why? Thanks.. -- Rob...

Hi, I recently installed an Enterprise Root CA on my domain and am running into some issues with my servers autoenrolling a computer certificate while all of my workstations can autoenroll without any issue.

Running Win XP (home). Got an USB hard drive for backup. Right now, it's got tons of files on it. I'd like to delete all files, and go to a Ghost, Casper, or Acronis thing. Is there some simple way I can delete all files at once?

All, I've recently installed the Recovery Console on a 2003 x86 server and a 2003 x64 server (both new PowerEdge servers) however when I reboot and select the RC option it quickly displays "a disk read error occurred" and it fails to start. I figured that it was maybe having a problem reading the SCSI disk so I took a look at the unsupdrv.inf file in the cmdcons folder and it appeared to be referencing the percsas.sys driver correctly (i.e. correct PERC hardware ID and sys file location) so I'm at a loss as to what's up. Both installs were run from either the i386 or amd64 folders and both ran dynamic update during the install. Any ideas on this would b…

I have an XP home computer that I've commected an external USB drive to for back up. I've selected the C drive & system state for backup, to run every night at 1 AM, but nothing is backing up. Any ideas why? -- Mr. Simpson, there are thousands of people like you with no discernable talent. Yeah, they're called Congress.

Hi again, It's been a while since I re-installed ME. Full install, not an upgrade. I was trying to recall if you have to Activate ME with Microsoft? Did it have that requirement back then or was this introduced with 2000 or XP? Please advise. Thanks! Lynn

Windows Server 2003 x64 with latest SP and patches. Upon reboot a large number of services fail to start. Primarily this is due to the ImagePath missing for that service in the Registry. When that value is entered manually, of course the service (and any dependant service) will start. What might be the reason for this? What other corruption should we be looking for? (Backup Exec 11d cannot query the System State when choosing it for backup.)

helllo How to create a System Restore point on my windows 2008 server TSE thanks

One of the Windows 2003 Member Servers within our Domain is keeping its local System Time incorrectly. We have repeatedly set the System Time to sync via net time to one of the Time Servers (Domain Controllers). When we perform this function manually from command line using Net Time, the time syncs to the time server and gives us back a "successful" message. Unfortunantly, we see that the local System Clock stays 1 hour behind even after this Windows Time success sync message. What could be causing the Windows Server 2003 to keep its local System Time 1 hour off, and not update its time based on time received from the Domain Controller?

Are registry cleaners a good idea or bad? I have done some reading and some say they are bad and some say they are bad. Has any one here had any experience with them good or bad. Or are they even necessary looks like Microsoft would build it into the operating system if it were needed. Sammy Castagna
