Hi, I was running an SBS2003 Setup, but then the Active Directory got Corrupted... and because over the last few months the company has been slowly migrating to vista and now all their computers bar 1 desktop and 1 server, it made sense to move over to server 2008 as it is supposed to work well with Vista. The problem I am having is that from the server I cannot remotely connect to 2 machines.. although the strange thing is they can connect to the server fine.. redirected roaming profiles work fine, its just connecting from the server to the machines. Thanks in advance

During the small hours of this morning I repair installed XP Home ed. then installed SP3 - and all was lovely. Including the IE7 problem that I've given up chasing down whereby an ebay auction "large photo's" wouldn't completely load. Reboots were much faster - as I said - all was lovely. This mornng boot up is taking AGES, and several icons are missing from system tray ! including the "Power options" icon, which - lastt boot up - I switched off then on to make it appear - and rebooted and it's gone again. Any idea why several hours would make a BIG difference to what was wonderful, and is now awful ? TIA regards, Richard

Dear subscribers I would like to know if it’s possible to configure Windows Desktop Search, in my case version 4, to index web pages as well as drives. The idea is to get a unified search view for most of my company’s documentation which is both as Word documents and web pages (wiki etc)? Thanks, Ola

Recently I have had my IE windows slowed from one process to the next with an Automatic Screen Refresh. System response is doing something in background as my next window is finally activated. Could be at ONE Website using it's multiple windows and have the Auto Refresh happen. When in Word97 or 2000, program will load and Auto refresh screen before I get a chance to Open a File. Know it is going to happen because System Bogs down with NO response from any open windows or program selection on my part. So, what is happening and what can be done to resolve this. At times I will have 2-5 windows open but never had the problem in the past. FYI, I sh…

when I ping from machine A to B: >ping 121.1.1.1 -v 0x47 windows keeps delivering the ToS field as 0x46 in the IP datagram. This is what Wireshark reported. However, I didn't have any problem when pinging from a linux box. It appears that the 2nd Hex will always be round off to the lower even number when pinging from windows machine, e.g: 0x27 becomes 0x26 0x15 becomes 0x14 0xA3 becomes 0xA2 and so on.... When looking closely in Wireshark, this is this due to the last bit of the QoS because it's related to ECN-CE ....whatever, this means....does anyone know how can I turn on this function? So I can set the traffic all the way from 0 t…
