Hello, I am trying to install an Internet Explorer plug-in at machine level but it is currently only installing at user level. We have a managed network running Win XP on the client machines that need this plug-in. It is called Adobe Connect. I have tried to snap the .exe file into an msi using WinInstall LE and when I do so I notice that the plug-in is full of HKEY_CURRENT_USER guids. The problem with that is when I install the plug-in on a machine with my privileged account only I can see use it on my profile. Students and teachers on our network do not have installation rights at all, and this is needed for a test within the next week. Is there anyway to get this to …

By Paul Thurrott While we debate whether Microsoft port its Office productivity suite to the iPad and Android-based tablets, a third-party has done just that, offering both to consumers for free. But thanks to complaints from its partners, Microsoft is crying foul, and threatening legal action against OnLive. Is this solution really too good to be true? Continue reading...

Hi, We have a problem with the IE9. The problem is that we can’t print Internet pages with more than 5 pages. If the Internet page has 11 pages, we have all 11 pages in the print preview, but the printer prints only 5 pages. We tried to print on a HP and a Ricoh printer. There is no such problem by using firefox. For example tis Web page: http://www.eui.eu/ProgrammesAndFellowships/AcademicCareersObservatory/AcademicCareersbyCountry/Germany.aspx Knight regards, Pictop Continue reading...

W7x64: If my goal is to move the contents of C:\ProgramData\myFolder to D:\ProgramData\myFolder (or any other folder on the same computer NOT on a network), and not have to make changes in programs that are accessing C:\ProgramData\myFolder, are there any differences between a Junction link and a Symbolic link of which I need to be aware? Thank you. Ron Continue reading...

I don't understand how it works. I have a form with datasource as query with LEFT JOIN (N:1), the table on the left are data and table on the right is the list. But when I delete a record from left side the unique record from right side is deleted too. This happen only in the form, when I did it in the query, this works as I want. There is no relationship between both tables. I set the form recordset to Dynaset (Inconsistent Updates). There is the datasource: SELECT tblKalkulacePolozky.PK_Polozka, tblKalkulacePolozky.FK_KodKalkulace, tblKalkulacePolozky.FK_KodKalkPol, tblKalkulacePolozky.Mn, tblKalkPol.Cena, tblKalkPol.FK_Skupina, tblKalkPol.Popis FROM tblKalkulacePoloz…

MSE will not let me update my definitions. I have tried using both the MSE update button and Windows Update. The update will look like it is downloading and installing , but the progress bar will get to about 95% and then just sit there. It will try it a few times and then it will go back to the main update tab and say "Connection Failed" "Security Essentials could not complete the virus and spyware definitions update on date, time due to an internet or network connectivity issue." It is not an internet connection issue since I am using my internet connection to ask this question. I have been attempting to update for three days. What else might it be? Continue readin…

I'm re-posting the following query on the Windows XP forums,as I hvae earlier posted it on Windows 7 forums. ====================================================================== Hi, I have a query on Windows XP's offloading capabilities for UDP and IPv4 header checksum. I'm intimating NDIS that I support checksum offload for TCP/UDP/IPv4 header in the query OID,OID_TCP_TASK_OFFLOAD.In the TCP traffic scenario,the NDIS is sending the TCP traffic without calculating the checksum,which is offloaded to NIC's hardware,which is expected. But with UDP and IPv4 traffic the NDIS is not offloading the checksum calculation to miniport.In the MiniportSetInformat…

I have a 500g seagate drive I've been using for awhile. I have windows XP so my external has always just been plug and play. I have lots of files on this drive and one of which is a program I was running just last night. Well I leave my drive on my floor next to my computer and my dog just so happened to knock it over while I was running this program and I noticed my drive was beeping and it sounded like it was rubbing up against something while it was spinning. Now it didnt immidietly kill the program I was running. It was about 20 seconds before I sat it back up and the drive just continued to beep about every 3 seconds or so. But eventually after about 30 seconds my p…

[i think it is white even in normal start up but it is striking here due to contrast with black] The desktop is black with no icons nothing [Task Manager doesn't show Explorer.exe]but when i immediately start Task Manager it does show explorer running but it vanishes after few seconds. 1)Creating a New Task and running anything simply makes the task manager stop responding and gives that 'searching for solution' thingy dialog box after whic…
