I copied some jpg pictures to a shared folder on our server recently. They open up fine for me in Windows Picture and Fax viewer. All the other users cannot open them though, The app opens and it says "no preview available". These users have full rights to this directory. In other folders they can open other jpg's just fine. It's only this recent set that I copied over. What the heck could be causing this?

Hello, I am new to WS2008 and I was wondering if anyone could help me with my issue. I have two NIC's installed in my pc. One NIC is connected to a DSL Modem, and the other one is connected to my LAN. The server currently is running a DNS Server and a DHCP Server. I don't want to use ICS, because it messes with my static ip that is set for my NIC. I also have tried the routing guide from windowsnetworking.com without any luck with that. Perhaps I did something, wrong. I don't know. Anyway, any help would be appreciated. Thanks for all the support, King John.

Hi, Can I assume these during a normal Vista Shut down? When the user issues shut down: 1- windows sends shut down message to all desktop processes! 2- programms need not much to do close fast and windows can continue with shut down! 3- a not responding dialog may appear for programms that need to do much and do not interact with windows for 30 seconds 4- a not responding dialo does not appear for programms that do lengthy operaion but through many API calls (thus windows understands that the program is progressing with shut down normally) so Keeps desktop on for them until they exit 5-when I see logging of it means that windows is closing Explorer.exe and…

Internet Explorer’s ActiveX Security Mitigations in Use
by Guest NewsBot- 0 replies
- 72 views
Background As a part of the July security bulletin, Microsoft yesterday released an update to mitigate a vulnerability in the “Microsoft Video†ActiveX control. This control contained a stack-based buffer overflow which could be exploited by a malicious web page. If you haven’t yet done so, please make sure you’ve installed the latest updates from WindowsUpdate to help keep your system secure. The Microsoft Video control should not have been marked as safe because it wasn’t intended for use within the browser. Rather than updating the control itself, Microsoft decided to block misuse of the control via a killbit. Killbits are simple registry flags tha…
