We use offline files to allow travelling users to access their data. However, when they connect to network to pick up email, Windows insists on connecting them to network version of offline files. This is too slow! They need to stay on Offline version of files, even when network connection is made. Is it possible to prevent synchronisation and auto connection of Offiline files? -- Patricia D

Round and round I go. It was broke essentially, but stuck with it. DriveImage 7.0 and its net framework that came with it, MS version 1.0. The imaging worked fine, its the verification that failed in many occasions. Usually, it was an onboard hard drive I was saving an image to where the verification failed. USB and Firewire connected hard drives, no problems. Yes, I checked the onboard hard drive with both 3rd party software, chkdsk, and disk scan. Many times, I thought I tracked down the problem, but shortly reoccurred again. Basically, the problem as it turns out is the updates to net framework 1.0, 2 updates so far. The fix, despite MS mislead…

FIXED Simply check that CTFMON.EXE boots at startup (for all users) Or go to start/run and type CTFMON.EXE then enter. Use the following code (copy and paste to a .REG file) if you don't know how to add manually this executable to HKLM startup. Code: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run] "ctfmon"="CTFMON.EXE" -- halifaxstud

A colleage of minee added a monitoring program that when one of my terminal servers out of a farm of 8 using Windows NLB reaches 40 connections the monitor will drainstop the server until the active sesion level falls below 40 again. this causes the entire farm to converge each time a server is drained. My concern with this is (With supporting evidence,please) Does this affect the performance of the servers or the stabilty of them.

Most come here to share problems as I have on hundreds of occasions. today I wish to share a positive solution to a video problem, shifting and flickering especially after moving he mouse or using the scroll wheel. On a whim, I decided to switch to another mouse having a little newer technology - a laser mouse. Well guess what sports fans - no more shifty-nervous-jittery video for me, just a very crisp, brilliant, and sharp display. This is a very simple thing and often overlooked, I suppose, but it worked for me.

Windows Vista Business I bought a new laptop hard disk and would like to clone the existing sys partition on the new HD. The new HD is a WD Scorpio Black 320 gig, while the old is a Hitachi 80 gig. Somehow, in all the messing I do with my computer, bootmgr has landed up on D: instead of C:. As a result, Windows wants to image both partitions rather than just C:. Is there any easy way to move bootmgr so that I can image just C:? Also, I'd like to partition my disk as 120/180GB with Windows on 120. Will restore allow me to do something like this or would I need to do it from somewhere else? Other than this, are there any things I need to look out…

Hello, Something has changed on one of our networks to prevent a Remote Desktop MMC from logging into remote desktops without prompting for password. We used to be able to click on any remote desktop in the list and it would just log in without prompting but now the remote machines are prompting for password despite updating the passwords stored in the connections. I checked the policy thoroughly and also ran rsop.msc to make sure a policy wasn't doing it. Any ideas? Thanks, Tom

I have previously reported how so many users are so mad because Windows Vista Ultimate has nothing more to offer than its lower versions particularly Windows Extras because Microsoft didn’t actually provide extras.Microsoft has just released two extras in April (at [...] More...
