I've just installed a server fax running on Win 2008. I realize that each user can see only own faxes. I want that all user can see the outgoing queue. Is it possible? Regards

I have a mysterious problem on my Vista Business SP1 - Danish When I try to connect to one of our Windows 2008 servers, mstsc hangs on the Vista. I have tried to run the mstsc as an administrator and with the /admin but with no luck. I can connect smoothly to our Windows 2003 servers - it is only the 2008 servers that is giving me the struggle. The problem is as follows: I start the mstsc with windows key+R then run the command mstsc /admin. The start window is showing up, and I type in the server i want to connect to, then i choose "Another account" and type in my admin username with domain prefix and password. Now the mstsc window stops running (no…

I got the message in the subject when trying to run a video clip in an Adobe pdf. It appears to have been generated from Windows Media Player, but I cannot figure out how to change the security settings to allow it. Any suggestions?

on My laptop dexplore.exe acts like a malware. Steps to recreate: 1) open Visual Web Developer 2005 [windowsXP home] 2) go to help menu and click “how do I†3) help window opens, but the mouse pointer icon alternates fast between thinking and idle icon 4) open task manager, and I see dexplore.exe takes 70% of CPU time and never ends even after 10 minutes note: This is recreatable. If I open task manager before the step1, then dexplore.exe stops taking CPU time after 2 seconds so, seems to me it should be virus/malware. What should I do about this?

Alias is getting one big hard-on because a new version of Ubuntu is coming out. Still the same old crap. Ubuntu won't run any of the popular programs. Ubuntu is still Free. Ubuntu still sucks. Nobody in their right mind would want to use Ubuntu. What you can do with Ubuntu: Email - Very simple e-mails Surf the web - Even Ubuntu can surf the web Burn CDs. - Lots of trouble Rip CDs. - Maybe with help Listen to music. - Yea, from your IPOD Watch vidoes/DVDs. - From your TV. Not from Ubuntu Scan and print. - Using your multi function printer. Spreadsheets. - You can calculate up to 100 numbers Presentations - If you like stick figures Newsgrou…

Drew, IE7 32-bit (the default one in Vista x64) has all the bells and whistles you are used to. IE7 64-bit looks more like a barebones, and faster one, because it lacks of flash animations, java and activex as they are all 32-bit. Some prefer IE7 64-bit, like Charlie, other IE7 32-bit. If you don't need the flashing gizmos, IE7 64-bit is all you need.

I use the command 'wmic product' to list the installed software on either the local or a remote computer. It works most of the time on x32 systems but when I use it on XP x64 or server 2003 x64 systems I get an Invalid class error 0x80041010. Same story when using WMI in a script. Does anyone know what the story is with x64 versions of Windows (Vista x64 works!). Another namespace maybe? Thanks, Tom Gilmour Tecsult Inc.

When I plug in a USB media reader to read 4 or 8 GB SDHC media chips, it takes about 5 minutes before the removable hard drive is recognized. This is happening with 2 different brands of chips using 2 different brands of USB media readers. Using the same readers with FAT formatted SD chips they are recognized immediately. This same symptom is happening on two other W/XP computers as well as my Vista computer. Does anyone else have this problem? Better yet, is there a fix? Roger

Hi, We installed the critical update KB958644 on a Windows Server 2008 machine 2 days ago and have experienced a massive increase in CPU utilisation, apparently for the System process. Our performance monitor reports typically showed the web server running in the 5-15% CPU utilisation range for the whole day even under fairly heavy load. For the last 2 days, the CPU graph now looks like an earthquake has hit and we have had to reboot the server both days to reset the CPU to normal. Today, the graph was showing 90%+ CPU utilisation and we were not able to RDP to the box and all web sites were non-responsive so had to get the ISP to do a hard reboot. The grap…

I purchased my laptop as I was heading overseas for a temporary relocation (Australia). While I was there, I used Media Center to access some of the local online content (Bigpond). Now that I am back in the States, Media Center is not showing me any American online content. It only shows the Australian content, which I can no longer access as I am in the States... I have changed all of the regional settings that I can find, and I still can't get it to access American content. Again, I am in the States trying to do this. Is there any way to have media center refresh it's online content based on a new region? Please help -- Stutch Posted via htt…
