Thanks, P Continue reading...

User Account Profile Gone Screwy
by Guest RichDenman- 0 replies
- 188 views
Hi Guys, I am new here but have a reasonable IT background but need some speciaist advice. I have most of my user profile data stored on a NAS and I have previously moved the locations of these by navigating to %userprofile% right clicking on "my documents"->Properties and then changin the file path in the location tab. This is the only way that I could get the locations to appear in the Win 7 Document Libraries because the NAS partition is formated in EXT2 file format and Windows 7 can not index it so it wont add it to a library. However by changing the location as stated in paragraph 1 solves the problem as it looks to %Userprofile%\My documents which the …

IE 9 Internet Printing Support
by Guest AdamJ2- 0 replies

We have some Canon printer drivers. Canon iR-ADV C5030/5035 UFR II We can add the printers using IE 8 ok from our print server page. We have 2008 R2 64bit server. When adding from IE 9. The user authenticates fine, then it downloads the driver. It says installing briefly then shows an error Printer Installation failed. Not Empty. I can add the driver manually fine and don't get any prompts for Driver signing. After I install it manually, it works from the printer server page. This happens on all the Canon UFR drivers. I was thinking it could either be the server, canon driver, or, IE9. It works on IE 8 with the same server and canon driver. So possibly it is with IE9 …

Internet Explorer 7 - find on this page issue
by Guest Roman Orlov- 0 replies
- 225 views
Internet Explorer does not find the text even though the Web page contains the text. Occurs when try to find some text at the end of the large Web page. IE7 finds text fine at the beginning of the page. OS: Windows XP SP3. Hotfix 936955 doesn't apply. Upgrade to IE8 is not a solution. Reinstall is not a solution, because it occurs on multiple pcs. Does someone know how to fix it? Maybe there is a setting to turn something off. Thank you. Continue reading...

Happy New Year to everyone, I tried loading Trend Micro Maximum Security 2012 on to my computer but the machine keeps shutting down and restarting. After doing the Microsoft report thing, I followed the link and said something called win32.small virus is responsible. The weird part is I have run the Microsoft tool to get rid of it, updated Windows XP, used Trend Micros's house call service, used a program from PC Tools to hunt it down and another one from Malwarebytes Anti-Malware from Antimalwarebytes Corporation. Also used Kapersky Trial Software too to no avail. Anything else I can try? kindly yours G Continue reading...
