I work for a large company that has their own internal network, and Web Site. For a year now I have hit their site and IE errors with the standard… There is a problem with this website's security certificate. The security certificate presented by this website was not issued by a trusted certificate authority. Security certificate problems may indicate an attempt to fool you or intercept any data you send to the server. When I ask the explanation is… Internet Explorer is looking for an external server to validate the certificate, but certificates are on an internal server. This sounds a bit bogus to me… 1. What questions should I ask the company find out if this…

I am fairly new in the area of OEM's & OPKs and this is my first attempt at using the Express Deployment Tool, so I am not sure if I am doing something wrong or if the version of the EDT (ver 1.1.0.0) is somehow incompatible with the MSE OPK... I noticed while looking for a solution that approximately a month ago someone had a similar problem which was a case of the MSE file structure being different to what the EDT would accept and this seems similar, although both the EDT and the MSE opk appear to have changed since then. When I attempt to add MSE to the deployment tool, I get an error "unhandled exception has occured in your application........ Could not find a …

Hi All, I hope someone can help me. Yesterday morning, our IT guys upgraded my computer to Windows XP SP3. Unfortunately, since the reboot, my PDA can not synchronize with my outlook. I have tried reboots, reinstalling activesync, soft and hard resets of the PDA. I have used google and bing to search for solutions and have not yet found anything that works. I am completely stumped. I am assuming the problem is something to do with service pack 3 because of the timing. Nothing else changed at that time. When I put the PDA in the cradle, activesync acts as though it realises something is there to connect to. It opens and the green wheel spins. However, after maybe 30 …

I have a PC that started having MRXSMB and RDR device driver errors. I reinstalled both MRXSMB.sys and MUP.sys, and ran SFC /SCANNOW with all files okay.

Hi there, I just started learning about sysprep, and this is the problem I am having in my unattended installation: After the time zone is set, the unattended installation pauses/does not continue forward until I manually click next. The time zone gets set to Eastern Standard Time, and it seems that the date and time are the same as the BIOS, but for some reason it doesn't continue. Any ideas or thoughts to have this figured out would be appreciated. I am installing Win7 Enterprise XML code: Eastern Standard Time Continue reading...

Hi I received a complementary copy of Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit when I attended the launch event in NYC back in 2008. The version I received is only 32 bit, which is what I needed at the time. But now I am going to upgrade to 64 bit mobo and processor, and will need the 64 bit version of Win 7 Ultimate. I think I read somewhere in this forum that I could exchange my 32 bit for the 64 bit if I send in my DVD. Is that offer still valid, and if so, how do I go about doing this. Thanks FW Continue reading...
