I got a phone call today stating they were calling me to help me fix my PC. (Very Suspicious!!) They claimed to be a support center working for MS. They walked me through some steps, My Computer, Manage, Events viewer, Applications to see if there were some error events present, and there were. (I was totally off line during these steps.) They next wanted me to go to www.fastsupport.com for assistance in fixing those errors. Instead I went to the MS site and did a search on Fastsupport and got nothing. Has anyone heard of this site and/or MS being connected to this site? THX Dan View this thread

I'm helping my family with a new laptop. I've downloaded the current version of Microsoft Live and have been trying to figure out how to reduce the send/receive interval time. The directions I find online refer me to a tools item on the menu bar. There is no Tools item on the menu bar. I do not think it matters, but they are using charter.net for their email account. How do I change accelerate the sending and receiving of my emails? View the thread

I am changing laptops from a WinXP Pro system to a Win 7 system, and need to migrate several files over to the Win7 laptop. I had done some of this already using net use v: \xplaptopnamee$, but now when I try to access the same shared drive, I get the system error 53, network path not found. I can ping each laptop from the other, but can't connect to either from the other. Help? I have made sure they both are in the same workgroup (mshome), but am not seeing each system from the other. At this point, I just want my @#%#$ files, but there are too many to do the usb key type transfer, and dang it, I should be able to do a peer to peer network somehow! Suggestions? This isn't permanent, just temporary for getting data. View the thread

Hi there Got a bit of a strange Office 2010 deployment issue, not sure if anyone can help but thought I'd post anyway. We are deploying Office 2010 domain wide via SCCM 2007. However the issue is not connected with SCCM 2007 (as far as I am concerned) so I saw little point in posting under the SCCM topic. Basically, we deploy Office 2010 using a .cmd script configured in the SCCM package program. All this .cmd script does is copy the install folder down to a local folder, checks to see if Office 2010 is installed, if so it exits, if not it proceeds to running msiexec.exe against the .msi file and corresponding .mst file. All well and good. We had a lot of success, up until we encountered a particular problem. Now, I should point out that the Office 2010 package was created a third-party vendor for us, and they included for some reason a very annoying application wrapper, which when Office 2010 installs (or doesn't install!) causes an entry to appear in Add/Remove Programs, let's say it's exactly 'Office 2010 XYZ123'. The problem arises when for whatever reason Office 2010 fails to initially install (as can happen) on its first deployment run. Even though Office 2010 does NOT install, this wrapper appears in Add/Remove Program stating that 'Office 2010 XYZ123' is installed. But Office 2010 is not installed. Ok, so another deployment is run against a pc with that wrapper showing in Add/Remove programs, and this is what happens: the second (literally) that the msiexec.exe line of the .cmd script is run (the important bit) the install instantly exists - and if you look in the application logs, at that exact time it will say 'Office 2010 XYZ123 installed successfully'. But it hasn't installed at all. Testing this on various machines which have this wrapper showing in Add/Remove Programs, they all behave the same way: as soon as the msiexec.exe line is run it instantly exits yet reports in the application log that 'Office 2010 XYZ123 installed successfully'. Anyone encountered this behaviour? From a high level, it appears that as soon as msiexec.exe starts to run against the .msi file, it runs a very quick check, sees that 'Office 2010 XYZ123' is already showing as being installed in Add/Remove Programs, then exits. I had a look at the .mst file, and the Product Name entry in the .mst file is EXACTLY 'Office 2010 XYZ123'. Could this be the issue? Would changing the product name in the .mst file prevent msiexec.exe from 'thinking' that Office 2010 is already installed? A line of code was added near the start of the .cmd script, which uninstalls the wrapper if it finds it (in the registry) but this has only been partially successful. If anyone has encountered this or can shed any light, please feel free to share your experiences! Regards, John H. View this thread

The icons on my desktop are way too big as is the rest of my programs. My e-mails are so big I can't get them all on the screen. I have gone into Personalization but can't seem to find settings anywhere. This appeared to happen all by itself as everything was fine until a couple of days ago. What can I do to fix this.

For the last 3-4 months I cant access one of my email accounts (I have two but one works fine) withough having to sign into BT Yahoo. Also, when I have been signed into Yahoo for a while, I cant access the email account again though MS mail - its almost like it times out? All I keep getting is an error box asking for my password which it wont accept (I have never changed it!). It just keeps going round in circles.

Alright, a while ago a bought an academic (student/faculty) version of a windows 7 ultimate upgrade (from vista) and the only CD that came with it was 32 bit version. At the time I thought nothing of it, but now I would like to do a clean install with 64 bit. Here's my question: what's the best way to do this? Im fairly certain that retail versions of windows include both 32 and 64 bit installations using the same product ID, so I'm assuming I can do something similar and just get a 64 bit installer using by existing windows 7 ultimate license. Am I right? Can I just get a new 64 bit installer and use my existing license? If not, is there a cheaper upgrade so I can get a 64 bit install? View the thread

I am trying to use MOCT to create an importable Outlook profile to connect to an IMAP server. It seems to work OK.......... EXCEPT, when I import the prf file and OUTLOOK 2010 opens, It thinks I have checked the "Remember password" check box and tries to connect to the server without prompting for a password. This of course fails. If I manually edit the setup from inside Outlook and uncheck the "Remember Password" box, Outlook will prompt and everything works. So the basic profile seems OK. I do not see any "prompt for password" check box in the Outlook profile setup under "Add accounts" Have I missed the options somewhere? Or is there somewhere else I should be looking to reset this "Remember Password" switch? View this thread
