by Guest turnorburn- 0 replies
- 131 views
Maybe I'm in the wrong forum i just want to know something concerning Windows Defender beta. Is the defender build the same for XP as it is in Windows 7, i saw a video and it appeared to have a different interface. Also are the engines the same, in another video a Microsoft technician said the Defender was all he used to avoid conflict, which was in a Windows 7 demonstration. My battleship is armed with the XP firewall and Windows Defender Qwest m-1000 modem which i believe has a router that contains a firewall as well, all in XP Pro.. Thanks in advance guys..

- 141 views
Hi, I have a UEFI based windows 7 machine, which had a 120gb SSD c: drive that died (nooo!). My D: drive has a system image backup and I also create a system repair disk (yaay!). However, I can't get them to work together to allow me to restore to a good old 400gb SATA drive replacing the C drive. Here's what I try: 1. When I boot the PC in UEFI mode from the DVD drive (boot UEFI DVDRAM drive) with the repair disk, it just says "boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible" 2. When I boot the PC in BIOS mode from the DVD drive (boot DVDRAM drive) with the repair disk, it just says "non system disk" 3. When I boot the PC in UEFI mode off a Windows …

NET 3.x will not install on WinTPC ThinPC (Wembedded7) thread referred here from .NET MVP: "indicates to me that you have the standard Windows 7 frameworks. The fact that you cannot use the procedure (which would allow you to activate all subfeatures) I described earlier: is an issue I don't have an answer for.

Why does IE sets a disabled anchor color to grey and does'nt respect styles applied to it?
by Guest PhilDulac- 0 replies
- 112 views
Ok, here's the situation... .NET framework 3.5 renders a disabled anchor like this: Visit W3Schools.com! For some reason, IE displays it grayed by default. The problem is, I need to apply a style on it, and it involves changing the text color. To do some tests, I tried Visit W3Schools.com! but IE refuses to display it red. So, how can I display a red disabled anchor in IE 9? Here's a link where you can do some tests: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_link_test Thanks in advance!

LAN Access, But Not Internet

After looking at various forums for the last two days, I've not been able to resolve a situation I am having with a client computer. The computer is running Windows XP Professional and is capable of accessing the local network, but that is as far as it goes. In Network Connections, Local Area Connection simply says "Connected", it does not indicate any limited access like it normally would. Ipconfig /all returns the following: C:\Documents and Settings\ws05>ipconfig /all Windows IP Configuration Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : workstation05 Primary Dns Suffix . . . . . . . : Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Hybrid IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : No…

XP Offline Files issue - some subfolders not synching
by Guest Kev Feathers- 0 replies
- 135 views
I have a single user who is experiencing offline files issues after synchronising. We provide two network shares, let's call them F:\ and G:\. The user can synchronise normally with F:\ and so when off the network F:\ appears in My Computer as it should do and all files are still accessible. However, the user also wants to synchronise two sub folders in G:\. The process appears to complete as it should do, there is the successful status after manually synchronising and via the automatic log off process. Yet, when this user logs on off the network, only F:\ is available. So it appears that the two subfolders in G:\ are not synchronising afterall because it is not visible…

Is it possible to make a copy of a task sequence in MDT 2010?
by Guest Jim24Mac- 0 replies
- 128 views
I would like to make a copy of our task sequence for our most current Windows 7 deployment to use for "development/testing". Rather than manually update a new task sequence and enter all of the custom functions I would like to be able to make a copy and edit that copy. Is there a way to do this? There is a "copy" option to the right when I have one highlighted, but when I do "paste" I just get a quick screen flash and nothing actually pastes. Anyone know if this is even possible to do? Thanks Continue reading...
