Hi to all just adding my comments I have used F+STW for years as I upgrade, build, rebuild and reload PCs. I do not trust it as I have had problems with it so I always back up my files to disk anyway. I HAVE FOUND It's the speed of the re install. I set a folder on the desktop and run the collection wizard to store into it. I then copy this folder across my network to another PC. If I use an external drive (as the old drive was full I just plug this into a second PC on the network.) It seems faster to colect first to a folder and then copy that to a second pc. I then rebuild the offending pc. I install the KB896344 patch and all updates on the …

I'm have a problem getting the printers to show up in Print Management MMC. I need to change File and Printer Sharing's exception (those 4 ports) scope from "local subnet" to "Any computer". It was easy in XP - I could click on the "Edit" button and choose "change scope" button and do the job. But not in Vista. There is no "Edit" button. "File and printer sharing" firewall exception doesn't list those 4 ports, and of course there is no way to change scope. How to I change "File and Printer sharing" firewall exception scope in windows Vista to make Print Management work? Thank you, Joe

Hello, I have a few users that awhile back their Microsoft Document imaging stopped working. I researched for a fix and found a post that said to replace the new MSPSCAN.EXE withe the one in the temp folder under system32 I believe. out of Four users this has worked for 2 users. The other users are having trouble saving the scan. When they save the scanned image it gives an error that "Microsoft Document imaging has encountered an error and needs to close" I look at the error report and it is referencing the mspview.exe. I tried also replacing this file and it still errors. Is there anyone that has encountered this issues and found a fix?

For GPs I thought I'd let the group know but unfortunately I've already dispensed with the program and now I can't find the post it was recommended in. At any rate: I think the recommended program to remove invalid windows file/folder names was wininvdel. I tried it (unsuccessfully, unfortunatly) on a file I've had problems with deleting for ages. Then when I went to uninstall it, there was no entry in Add/Remove Programs for it. As it turns out it's a file written in VB6 so to uninstall it you have to go to Program Files/PurgeIE and run the uninst000.exe file from there. I recognized it because I'm also a VB6 developer. It DOES properly unins…

I have Vista Ultimate 64 bit. My machine had been running fine for a while now. But Monday when I tried to use my Xbox 360 as an extender, which is what I do every single day, it showed the connecting screen, then just stopped at a black screen. I went to the computer and tried launching Media Center from the desktop and it crashed right away with the following error details. Media Center has stopped working Description: Stopped working Problem signature: Problem Event Name: CLR20r3 Problem Signature 01: ehshell.exe Problem Signature 02: 6.0.6001.18000 Problem Signature 03: 47919e0e Problem Signature 04: Microsoft.MediaCenter…

Hey all, Well, my Internet Explorer desktop icon disappeared randomly two days ago. I found multiple KB articles on this referring to a regedit that would fix this problem, however the regedit DOES NOT make the icon nor the IE desktop icon checkbox reappear. I know I can make a shortcut, which I have done, however it's much more useful to have the correct icon that I can right click to get properties/delete cache, etc. Any ideas? My setup: Vista Home Premium, SP1, IE 7, all patches and updates up to date. To repeat I have already tried the registry edit below and it DOES NOT work: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explor…

We have purchased a new internal modem and installed it in a Windows 2003 server, and installed the fax services. Everything seems to be working well but we are not able to fax to most of the numbers we have tried. We have 3 local faxes. We can successfully fax to 1 of the 3. One of the others gives an error "there was no answer" at the other end. The other one keeps saying "busy". We are able to successfully fax to one fax number. We have done this 3 times with no problems. Our modem is a nexxtech brand modem. We have played with the settings and we have not been able to see any changes. Can someone please help. thanks already, tom

Hello folks, Finding myself often in the position to explain security concepts to friends and family, I tried to find a way to create easy to understand presentations on the topic. So I made online security presentations with Google Docs showing everything from how to secure a home system, to multi-factor authentication, encryption, social engineering, and advanced topics like XSS, IDS and SSL Certificate Hijacking.
