I am using business server 2003 and Dell originally set the active partition © (1 Drive - there are two partitions C and F) to just 10 gigabytes and I need to grow that space. I have a dynamic mirrored drive and have physically disconnected it - the second hard drive. I am using RAID 1. I will use EASEUS Partition Manager Server Edition to do the repartition. What do I have to do with the mirror settings before I perform the repartitioning. Righjt Click and remove, delete, or break the mirror. Secondly if the repartition goes well, how do I reset the second hard drive to mirror the new size? -- *************************** Mark M Simonian, MD 681 …

Hi All! I have been investigating a problem that made Vista complain of Multiple Security issues. It told me that Windows Updates were not activated (they were but got switched off by someting). On trying to click FIX I get a message that "Security Cener can't change your automatic updaing settings". When I tried going into updates manually I get a partially loaded Update Window dialogue. Picture here: http://www.fmpc.co.uk/mypics/untitled.bmp No error codes are given. As I was checking that problem I run Windows Update on a laptop at the same location and when it had finished restarting a message came up sayting that there are multiple security issues. Wh…

ChooseColor Dialog - Can Only Enter 2 Digits, Not 3 This bug has something to do with font sizes, display settings and XP not being "DPI Aware". To fix this, simply modify the COMDLG32.DLL file by increasing the input box size. This modification does not cause any problems at all. It is perfectly safe. Instructions: 1. Download "Resource Hacker" and install it: http://www.angusj.com/resourcehacker/ 2. Backup the original. Open the Run box and enter: xcopy C:\WINDOWS\system32\COMDLG32.DLL C:\WINDOWS\system32\COMDLG32.DLL.bak 3. Run "Resource Hacker" and open: C:\WINDOWS\system32\COMDLG32.DLL 4. Expand "Dialog". 5.

Same problem.... I got a vista 32bit upgrade and tried to install on my PC, this didn't work as i had an nVidia 8600GT which has driver problems. So i got a nVidida 9800GT and it installed fine....ish. It kept freezing not long after i started it and i would have to re-set. I fixed that problem by installing new motherboard drivers and now i trying to fix restart/shutdown problem. I have a gigabyte P35-DS3R motherboard, an Intel Quad CPU Q6600, 4.25 gb DDR2 RAM, and a brand new nVidia 9800GT, 80gb SATA hard drive. Stephen posted a link but i think thats for AMD processors because when i ran the setup is says cannot find hardware. Appreciate any help. …
