Hi, After having worked in Firefox for a short time -and after some patch rounds of Vista- I started IE7 and had some problems. 1. I can start a search box with crtl+f, but the buttons are greyed out 2. ctrl+p does not work anymore. When I start Firefox after having tried in IE7, Firefox intercepts the printing call I made in IE7 and launches a Printing Dialog box 3. Submit buttons do not work anymore either 4. McAfee displays a blank screen of the security center 5. So do some websites Resetting IE7 to its security factory defaults does not help at all. I use Vista Ultimate with all the patches and updates. Kind regards, Tony Thijs Oriolus Publis…

So I have two VMs in VirtualPC. (But I don't think the fact that they're VMs matters.) On both of them - Windows 98 SE and Windows 95 - I installed NTLMv2, and tried to connect to my host PC (Windows XP Pro SP3). The problem: It only worked *once*. The first time I clicked on my host PC (inside the virtual PC's "Network Neighbourhood"), it opened - it showed all the shares, I could even browse them. Then I closed the window, and it stopped working. Now every time I try to open my host PC from the virtual one, it says: [X] \\THINK is not accessible. This device does not exist on the network. BUT the host PC says that the login was successful: -----B…

I made a Sharp Analysis of the Windows 7 name and in an excerpt:Windows Vista was hyped to uncontrollable proportions by Microsoft (WOW Factor) and when it came out blazing, the heat quickly went ice cold. This only tells me that Microsoft isn’t done with Windows Vista and most probably a lot of the features [...] More...

Hello, I've recently setup NLB using two servers. How can I tell which server the user is redirected to? Thanks, D

My motherboard has four (4) sata ports/connectors and one (1) ide conector. I can populate 3 of the 4 sata port with 2 HD's and 1 optical drive and the motherboard bios sees all three. I can also use the ide connector for another optical drive and it is recognized if I enable the jmicron driver in the bios. I have all of this installed on my computer. Running XP Pro already installed. When I log on to XP and go to "My Computer" the main HD show up and depending on how I have the sata ports configured the 2nd HD will show but the sata optical will not or the optical will show and the and the 2nd HD will not. If I enable the jmicron driver the ide optical…

Background: I had an SBS server fail to boot this week after the C: drive running out of disk space. Windows hopelessly corrupt, no amount of recovery console doing the trick. So, I reformatted C: and reinstalled Windows, including service packs, software, etc. I then tried to restore from ntbackup. This was unsuccessful with a kernel missing error. I booted to the SBS CD and reinstalled Windows to the C: drive without formatting. This installed a separate directory called WINDOWS0. I then attempted to restore with ntbackup again, and this time the restore was successful. Problem: We need all the disk space we can get on our C: partition sinc…

I am writing this letter to ALL Wireless Router manufacturers. I have a Linksys Wireless Router Model:BEFW11S4. It is 7 years (yes, count them, all of seven little years) old. I have visited the Linksys website numerous times trying to set up the WEP/WPA security on that wireless router (as all responsible wireless router owners should!). I found that there are no links to any wireless router setting websites that are congruent with the screen shots from Linksys' own self help technical support site.

The system shell for Windows Vista has been purposely built by Microsoft such that ... - When files of various types are selected simultaneously, the option to open them is made inaccessible to the system shell, whether through their context menu or the keyboard (i.e., pressing {Enter}). This is governed by file extensions, not by the program handling the files (e.g., it occurs when *.doc and *.docx files are simultaneously selected). - When more than 15 (i.e., 16 or more) files of the same type are selected, the same event occurs.
