I'm having an annoying problem with this new input method. Last time when I was using the previous version of MSPY and I can have SELF-LEARNING capability enabled in both simplified and traditional character set (FYI basically I don't use simplified chinese). Now I found out that the SELF-LEARNING capability mode was greyed out when I'm trying to type in chinese traditional. So far I can found nothing mentioned about the registry value of self-learning function in MSDN and the registry value in my current system is 0x00000001. Is there any method that I can have this self-learning function enabled in traditional mode as well? It is very annoying when…

Hi, I know this is an old threat, but it is one of the first found by Google... I had the same problem and at last found an answer that worked for me. It is very simple so give it a try...

In the Profile Path, replace the username by %username% (\\-server\profiles-\%username%), click OK.

Hello, in a Windows 2003 server x32, Standard, in a 300GB disk, i´ve made a 60 GB partition for the operating system,

Greetings, We ran a backup and stored it on a separate partition. A directory was created on the partition called: "WindowsImageBackup" This directory contains the files of the backup. When we attempt to restore, the restoration wizard indicates it cannot find a backup on the system. Thus alternatively we indicate that the backup is from another system and it asks what hard-drive the backup is on and we indicate the appropriate partition it indicates a backup cannot be found. There does not appear to be any options via the recovery wizard to specify the exact location of a recovery file or catalog. We are administering our server remotely from …
