I am using Office 2007 and Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 In Office Online -> Clip Art, When I give search for any name say Cat, after 3 seconds of search, the computer only returns the message 'Searched for "cat". It does not show the clips. This happens even if I give search for any other name. On the other hand if there are far larger number of clips for any given name, it gives the message "Your search returned more than 1200 items. To narrow the results, type a more specific keyword into the search box. " below the main message 'Searched for xxx'. When I narrow down my search, again only the main message comes without any clips. These clips …

Was installing Service Pack 1 for Windows Vista today on a machine and got error 0x800b0100 about halfway through running the large (500MB) patch. After lots of trial and error, I even took advantage of Microsoft's free SP1 tech support, but after I mentioned what I had tried, all the guy in the chat wanted me to do was a repair install of Vista. Here's what I did to fix it. ------------------------------- Step 1. I ran sfc /scannow. Step 2. I read through the logfile it generated, C:\Windows\Logs\CBS.log. I did not see anything other than changing listings under winsxs, similar to the following threads (which are not mine): http://www.vistax64.com/vista-perf…

....XP Home ed. SP3 I have 2 printers - Epson C82 and R300. Recently, I'm occasionally getting 2 system tray icons for the R300 i.e. 3 icons for two printers ! HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run seems to contain the "normal" two entries, for the two printers. HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run contained a key similar to that (below), for the R300, and I deleted it. C:\WINDOWS\System32\spool\DRIVERS\W32X86\3\E_S10IC2.EXE /P23 "EPSON Stylus C82 Series" /O6 "USB002" /M "Stylus C82" C:\WINDOWS\System32\spool\DRIVERS\W32X86\3\E_S4I0F2.EXE /P30 "EPSON Stylus Photo R300 Series" /O6 "USB001" /M "Stylus Photo R300" ....…

From reading posts on here it seems clear that I need to try to disable remote differential compression to speed up my VPN connection. When I go into control panel -> programs and features -> turn windows features on or off -> uncheck remote differential compression and click "OK". I get a "Not all changes were completed" error message. There is nothing in the Event Viewer either that tells me exactly what went wrong. Does anybody know of a command line script or a registry key that will allow me to disable the RDC instead of the GUI?? Thanks, Ryan -- bittersweetryan
