We have Sharepoint setup so that within Outlook 2003, if you click on Outlook Today, it will be a sharepoint site for us to post general announcements. The problem is that every machine with Internet Explorer 7 prompts the user to login when they click on Outlook Today, and those machines with Internet Explorer 6 works just fine. I've searched the web and found what everyone says is the answer, but still no luck. I've changed the Local Intranet zone security level to low, I've added the site name to trusted sites, yet it still prompts for a login. I would appreciate any help. Thanks.

I have a local network running among four computers. On one of these, I have lost my ability to connect with other computers in its workgroup. This had been working for ages and I'm not sure what could have caused it. I can connect to the router and have access to the internet. My "network places" shows the workgroup, but when I click on it to connect I get an error message that the workgroup is not accessible and I might not have permission to use this resource. I've checked that the workgroup name is correct and even went through the process of re-entering the name - to no avail. I appreciate any advice.

In ie, again, windows aren't being saved when I resize them or maximize them. I do have a .reg file to reset the folder view but when I select Merge it opens the file up for editing. The same thing happens when I double click it. Any help will be appreciated. James

Hi I am running Windows Vista Ultimate SP1. I am trying to install VMware Worksation 6.5. When I attempt the installation I get the following message: 'Extracting file failed. It is most likely caused by low memory (low disk space for swapping file) or corrupted cabinet file. I have been able to successfully install the same program using the same MSI package on Windows XP SP2 & on another install of Vista. Do you have any information as to what the problem is? -- needinfo
