Hi all, I created 2 tasks in task scheduler to run at user logon: one that starts explorer.exe (to go to the desktop and skip the start page), and one that starts the RDP client in public mode. Even if I put a delay on the RDP, it always starts behind the explorer window. So I then tried some switches for explorer (/m, /MIN, mode SHOWMINIMIZED), also went in the user context's properties of file explore and selected "start minimized" and nothing works... I also tried all these switches in the run box and they don't work there either. Am I missing something? View the full article

Hi, I own a Dell Inspiron desktop computer. The original hard drive is failing so I bought a new one, same specs. I didn't think I'd be able to factory restore to the new hard drive, so I installed Windows 7 onto the new drive from a separate valid install CD I had. So... with the old and new drives in my system, when I boot up, I got the screen asking which OS I want to boot into. The default is the old one, so I always have to select the new install and continue. If I remove the old drive and put the new drive into its place, I get the "bootmgr is missing" error. If I leave the drives the way they are, and change the Bios to boot from the new drive first, I get the same error.I followed instructions here: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-system/windows-7-bootmgr-is-missing-resolved-using-winre/8bb148bc-8035-4847-9696-888f7a0a9720 and I trying repairing the new Windows 7, to running the various DOS commands listed. Still nothing.I want to retire the old hard drive and use only the new drive, but can't at this time. Any help is appreciated. View the thread

My laptop has a 40GB hyard drive running XP SP3 and is continually updated. I use well known tools to keep unwanted files and programs off the sytemn. Over the past 5 years my hard drive has steadily filled up and now paging rates have escalated and I must do something about this. I am suspicious about .NET and Silverlight which may have caused system bloat. I would like to remove both but wonder (a) whether this will cause noticeable problems to me, a simple user, (b) the frequency of usage by websites and applications with which I interact, and © whether this is an advisable way forward? I am a Pensioner and seek to avoid replacement of my HDD, laptop or otherwise spend on unwarranted upgrades. Or, should I simply reinstall a fresh copy of XP? View this thread

I am trying to map a drive. When I do group policy results or group policy modeling. It shows this group policy as denied with the reason "empty". This is our first try at group policy preferences but it seems pretty straight forward so I don't know why it shows up as empty. View the full article

I am using an application to force my video card drivers to use Vsync. But is it possible to achieve the same using Windows registry? Or modifying some parameter file? I am using only the graphics card drivers provided by Microsoft as I found them to be the most stable ones. Thanks View the full article

All libraries "is no longer working" after few hours of PC is on. Delete-restore didn't help. Steps: Turn on PC Libraries "is no longer working". //"Body text cannot contain images or links until we are able to verify your account." Press delete libraries. And restore default libraries. Take 10 minutes to add all folders. All works fine. Wait few hours (>8) or few restarts and it's again like on the image number 3. I've "Delete-restore" 4 times already for last week. Windows 8 Pro x64 English (clean setup, not an upgrade). This bug crashes libraries starting from the installing of Windows 8. All works fine at windows 7. As result of all my File History features not working. View the full article

Hello,Since, apparently, buying an upgrade to w8 pro is pointless when you have an enterprise w7 on enterprise key (and don't know the key) AND you are a system builder and plan to upgrade your PC sometime in the future after installing W8, I have thought of a... workaround.I have a windows xp machine I plan to upgrade to w8. Can I install this windows xp on another machine and then upgrade it with another copy of windows 8 upgrade? (so essentially I have one license of windows xp I want to use TWICE to install an upgrade to windows 8, on two separate PCs).Thanks in advance.PS. seriously, it is surprising I have not been able to find this question in the database... and the earlier one too!

I've an older computer with a single hard drive that had been partitioned. The OS (XP SP3) is on the C: drive, but the C: drive was only allocated 10gb on a 120gb hard disk. I deleted the D: partition and made it unallocated space, but Diskpart still will not extend the C: drive at all. According to the MS site, Diskpart will not extend a volume on a Dynamic disk in XP, only a Basic disk. So, I checked and C: is formatted as a basic disk. I then made all the other unallocated disk space a partition and reformatted it as a Basic disk. Then I deleted the partition and attempted once again to extend C:. Diskpart will still not extend the volume, even when following the Diskpart instructions explicitly. So, I'm now considering making the unallocated space a partition again, then ghosting the C:drive onto the new partition and deleting the C:drive. There are no programs other than the OS on the C: drive worth saving. I'm attempting to make the hard drive usable so I can sell this computer. Any other way I can attempt to extend the C: volume onto the entire drive? Is my drive ghosting idea worth a shot? View this thread

I have Vista and office 2007 - I have just installed a new HP officejet 7500A wide format wireless printer. While I can print fine from word, I cannot print from either excel or adobe pdf files. I also cannot select my new printer as the default printer. I am not a technical person but would really appreciate some help from someone who can talk me through how to fix this. I have read other people have similar but not the same problem. Thanks in anticipation, Janey View this thread

I have a problem with autoplay in vista. It keeps trying to recover the G drive (my usb attached samsung phone) that is no longer attached to the computer. Samsung apparently changed the phones so that they were not recognised via usb (although i could get to the content via the file manager) but the phone could not be ejected. I have tinkered with autoplay to try and stop this, plus downloaded samsung software that allows it to be seen as a drive, but autoplay keeps trying to recover it even after shutting down completely (including shutting down with phone attached). Any advice gratefully received! View this thread

I have noticed that my computer keeps doing something when it gets into monitor off state. I see that the hard drive gets active almost constantly and a floppy drive gets its light on. It goes in pretty noticeable pattern, like forever. If I force it into Sleep, it will wake up and do the same. Any idea? Thanks View the full article

We've tried everything we can think of to change the time in our computer.
