Toshiba Laptop Checkup. Checked out O.K. with Microsoft Security Essentials. Should I run it?
by Guest Linda Lou Davis- 0 replies
- 122 views
I have a program that came up on my Toshiba Laptop that says it's Toshiba Laptop Checkup and asked for my permission to run it. Did so and then was wondering if this was what I should have done because after checking it's original applicaton says it's part of Norton's PC Checkup. My Microsoft Security Essentials says that all the parts to this are secure. But wasn't sure if I still should allow it to run. What do you think? Continue reading...

Geolocation wrong in IE9 but not other browsers
by Guest James.Smyth- 0 replies
- 125 views
Hello, I have noticed that apon using the Geolocation test on the test drive site, that my location according to Internet Explorer 9 is off. I don't just mean off, I mean WAY off. It has me down in Durham, England when in fact it should be in Scotland. http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/HTML5/Geolocation/Default.html Apon using it in Google Chrome it gets my location to the house. Quite litterly, but its way off in IE9. I know there is something called "default location" or something but I never set anything up involving that so I doubt that comes into play. Whats going on ? Thanks - James Continue reading...

Hello. How can I achieve this behaviour: user1 has directory dir1 with full permissions for its content, but user1 can not change permissions on files which user1 created? Is it possible? I think this is some kind of Mandatory Access Control.

"There are insufficent resources to open another file" on shared file *AutoRoute 2006 axe*
by Guest rhodzy- 0 replies
- 251 views
Good afternoon, In our organisation we use Microsoft Autoroute with a shared *.axe with push pins all around the UK and Europe. Currently due to increasing in size and more and more people using the file, it seems that when a certain number of users are connected (not sure if there is a maximum restriction) new users trying to open the file get "There are insufficent resources to open another file" After testing when one user comes out of the file the user recieving the error can get in fine and the working user who logged out gets the error. I have had our server guys answer the question if there are any restrictions on the server which could be causing the max num…

Cannot pin programs to taskbar in windows 7
by Guest deegeeh- 0 replies
- 214 views
This problem started with Windows 7 Home Premium freezing when trying to start up from sleep, the desktop and moving mouse pointer appeared but everything else was dead.Sometimes there was disc activity but I could not start Task Manager to see what was going on, maybe it would start up after 3or 4 minutes but not always, then a reboot was the only answer. I removed recently installed programs and switched off indexing, nothing made any difference. Then all icons on the taskbar disappeared including ones previously pinned. When I tried to pin them back again that option was not available in the right click menu. The freezing problem has improved by disabling the screensav…

Disableing NIC power saving (regedit updating PnpCapabilities not working
by Guest Mark Middlemist- 0 replies
- 300 views
Hi All I know this sort of question has done the rounds a fair bit, but we are supporting an XP based till system (not in a domain) that is causing problems due to the NIC's power saving settings. As it stands we are having to remote on to the machine every day to manually uncheck the power saving options, which is obviously not an optimal solution (rebooting the computer causes the power saving to reactivate). We have tried the registry updating scripts that most people recommend and they do not work. Last night I actually did a full registry export from the machine before and after checking the power saving option, ran a compare, and then went in and manually altered …

Problem with Icon and its wording
by Guest RaymondPiper- 0 replies
- 111 views
I downloaded your Microsoft Security Essentials - Free Version. It was referred by a friend. I did the Full Scan and the icon on tool bar stayed green for about 2 days. Then it turned red. I did another full scan and it turned red the next day. It says Your Computer May Be Unprotected. The Anti-virus program it replaced stayed green and never told me this. It was from a totally different company than Microsoft. So I did a Quick Scan and the icon didn't even change to green, it stayed red and still continues to say I may be unprotected. If this continues, I may be forced to uninstall this program and go back to the other company as I am getting tired of having t…
