I fired up Vista Ultimate speech recognition the other day. I went completely through the tutorial with no trouble. Then when I actually started trying to us it, when it comes up, it says "starting" then "Listening", then, after about 10 seconds it says "Off". I turn it on by clicking the button, it stays on "listening" for 10 more seconds and then goes off. Any ideas?

I am using an old piece of code (someone else's) which tries to write to my "My Documents" folder. I know that this is a junction and all the good stuff, and should 'just work.' However for _one_ of the account on my system, when the code runs its reports that it can't write to "My Documents". I have tried setting the permissions on that accounts "My Documents" and Documents folders to match that of users that don't have this problem, but that doesn't seem to help. It is almost as if there may be permission settings I can't access. Any suggestions? -- montsaroff

After initial boot of the server (factory install) the server was joined to the 2003 AD domain. Prior to rebooting I noticed that I was unable to make any configuration changes to the Firewall i.e. add exceptions. Upon rebooting the firewall service was not running and when I tried to restart it, received a message saying that one of it's dependant services (BFE) was not started. Starting the BFE resulted in an error 5: Access is denied. This occurred in both local and domain admin accounts. Moving the server to a seperate OU that denies all GPOs resulted in the same issues as did a gpupdate/reboot. Setting BFE to run as the domain admin resulted in …
