...to complete requested serivece. Dear Sir, I encountered this issue these days. My customer reported that their server met this situation after running our system for about 1 month.

I found that the sum of all private bytes of processes doesn't equal to the total comit charge. The total private bytes are only about 300MB but commit charge is as high as 1.3GB... I'…

The user's Application Data directory is mainly there for 'userization' so that the data is different for every useraccount. If the settings or data are to be per-user then you should put it here. For data which applies to all users, the approved route is to put the data into the All Users\Application Data profile. The issue here is that most people (and most backup programs!) will not even recognise that data is being stored here, and this creates a backup/data loss issue. You could (as is being done) put the data in Program Files, and change its permissions. Key point is that this is not approved, and may raise problems with future Windows release…

Hi All: I have Vista Business sp1 on a workstation, which is part of 2008 domain. The box had been previously running XP pro sp3, but I did a fresh install. I had been logging into XP as an admin. When I first installed Vista I was prompted to create a user account, which I did, and then manually migrated over my documents, imported my Outlook Express psts into Mail, etc. So I'm logging in as a local user. I joined the computer to the domain and everything is fine, except I need to authenticate on the domain whenever I need to do something like open a server share. I'd rather log onto the workstation as a domain user, but I realize if I do this I will …

We have a computer that was bought from a now-defunct computer reseller that had an invalid VLK product key on it. We bought new copies of Windows XP Professional but on this machine, it will not allow me to update the product key to the legal one. Of course, to simply email MS support would cost us $59 on top of the $145 we paid for the Windows XP Pro we bought. Is there some way other than through this downloadable tool to update the product key to our legal key? Thanks
