Hi Friends, My colleague install the virtual PC on his work machine and install Windows 7 enterprise on it. Then he joined this VM to the domain. Unfortunately, he had to leave the company and I am working on his work machine. Now I want to use the VM that my colleague Installed under his profile. I copied the .vmc file from his profile and launch the VM. It starts fine and prompts me for the login. But when I enter my credentials it says “There are currently no log on services available to service to log on request”. If you guys have any ideas about this issue, please let me know, it will be much appreciated. Thanks. - Eranda Continue reading...

Windows 7 Killed My Network
by Guest keglined1- 0 replies
- 198 views
I have an old tower with XP SP3, my family has three laptops--one with XP SP3, one with Vista, and a Windows 7 laptop--and an ipad2. The local cable company rents us a modem, and we network through our "old faithful" Belkin Wireless G Router. It's going on 4 years. Our previous router was a solid machine as well, but we "upgraded" to the Belkin in 2008. I'm a desktop/tower guy, unlike the rest of my family (obviously), who are all into laptops and macintosh silliness. We also have two Netflix-receiving DVD/BluRay players, which connect without problems through our Belkin, and an i-Touch, which I believe is my son's way of chatting with his girlfriend during dinner.…

- 98 views
I'm planning on upgrading my Windows XP computer to Windows 7. Reading the tutorials on how to do this, I see the preferred method is to use the Windows Easy Transfer software. However, when using this it says that I must transfer settings/files to an external location. My question is: My XP computer HD has two partitions, one XP plus and one for media, picture files etc. Is it possible to transfer the computer's settings/files to the second partition on my HD without having to use an external source?

Need help on how to rotate monitor(orientation of display)??
by Guest no1_vern- 0 replies
- 241 views
Before installing the SP3, I had my Dell 2005FPW monitor rotated 90 degrees to that it was oriented up and down (easier reading). After installing SP3 RC, I found out that the orientation of my monitor had reverted to the 0 degrees aspect. I have removed and reinstalled the ATI Catalyst Control Center(CCC) monitor suite, updated the driver, and then removed and updated both a second time in an attempt to correct this problem. I cannot change it back to the 90 degrees aspect I want. When I go into the Ati CCC, I can hear the hard drives read/write but display will not change. My configuration is: Ati x800-XT/256m, Dell 2005FPW (Digital) Dell XPS 3.46 pentium, …

I have the same problem with two computers. One is Sony desktop VGC-LT15E, the other is Dell laptop XPS M1530. I just upgraded both to windows 7 home premium.

The 31 css file limit started to bite me. This happens because I am using third party controls which inject theire own css files. I am surprised this limit still exists in IE9! Other browsers don't have this limit. I am hoping the IE team come to their senses and have increased this limit in IE10. Continue reading...

... until after shutdown. Every morning, I get the Startup Repair window on a newly installed (Home Premium purchased) Windows 7 64bit system (6GB RAM, Gigabyte MA78GPM-DS2H, AMD Phenom X3). At some point a day or two after the initial install (maybe after updates, not sure), it started coming up with a blue screen (stop 0x0000001A) on first poweron, however it works quite normally after a restart at anytime after that point (although I have only tried brief power-off states, 30 seconds or less). I installed so many items during that time to make it useful (chipset drivers, Anti-virus, backup, etc.) it is hard to tell which may have been at fault, and I'm trying to a…

Bluetooth Driver Update for Windows Mobile 6.1
by Guest João Nelson- 0 replies
- 295 views
I have worked with 2 mobile devices (Honeywell Dolphin 9900 using Windows Mobile 6.1 and Pidion BM170 using Windows mobile 6,5). My company produces bluetooth devices wich authentication pin may be 8 or 10 char length. When we try to pair the Honeywell to our devices with 8 char pin, we succeed. But the same device set to a pin of 10 char length, it fails. Using the Pidion device (WM6.5), there is no problem connecting to the both device (pin of 10 and 8 chars long) Is there any driver or system update that expand the 8 chars long for pairing in WM6.1 ?
