Hi, got a laptop with windows XP Pro SP2 logon to SBS 2003 SP2 domain. I am using roaming profile. I am also using dual monitor with a docking station with the laptop monitor as the secondary monitor. The problem i am having is that when I do a shutdown (or log off) Start > Shutdown/Log Off > choose shutdown it doesn't do anything. When i do it the second time, then the shutdown prompt automatically moves to my secondary montior then it will work. I can take roaming profile off and see if that will help but any ideas how to fix this problem? Steve Louie

I am having problem with MS Paint. When I print screen and past on Paint or even just open up paint and put some text in it or open a BMP file with paint, i can see the content but it just prints out blank pages. I cannot see the content on print preview either. I've try printing to different printers, no use. I can save the file and open it on another computer and it is fine. If i create a bmp file with paint on a different computer, i have the same computer with the bmp file on this computer. I have the same problem if i logon as a different user. please help, Thank you, Steve Louie

Hi, This is one of the strangest things that I have seen in years..... We have an SAP/Oracle system running on Win2003/SP2 (Xeon CPU). (For those interested, it is SAP R3 v47 running on Oracle 9i). There were about 10 or so SAP related registry entries in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE - SOFTWARE - SAP - (SAP System ID) - Environment A few days ago, I stopped SAP and Oracle to make a config change. Oracle started well, but SAP had various difficulties starting. To my amazement, virtually all of the registry entries in "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE - SOFTWARE - SAP - (SAP System ID)- Environment" were missing. I fixed SAP's startup issues by adding the necessary entries …

I just got off a FREE security help session (866) 727-2338. They call it a "grace case". I spoke to a Sabbabjeet Singh (Sabby). He took over my PC, and determined that my Update file had been corrupted. He stated this is common when Norton or MacAffee security are running during an update install. I'm a very fuzzy about all he did, but I'll try: He renamed the Update file to .old, found and fixed a bad file named msxml4.dll by copying from Windows side-by-side to Windows 32. Uninstalled KB936181 & KB941833. Went to the Microsoft site and downloaded them to my desktop and ran them.... At any rate it is all fixed now! His suggestion: From now on, befor…

Hello All, I'm having a persistent issue that began on the 7th of July. It appears that the DFS database is getting defragmented on an hourly basis. I can't find any information about the dfsr 3440. I believe it is causing unnecessarily high utilization of system resources. The event is logged as follows: Event Type: Information Event Source: ESENT Event Category: Online Defragmentation Event ID: 700 Date: 7/11/2007 Time: 12:00:09 PM User: N/A Computer: DYNAMIC-DC01 Description: Dfsr (3440) \\.\D:\System Volume Information\DFSR \database_3898_8D03_988C_C0BC\dfsr.db: Online defragmentation is beginning a full pass on database '\\.\D:\Syste…

I have a Toshiba Satelitte Laptop, it came pre-installed w/Windows Vista. I've been getting a message about not being able to update for a while, but mistakenly thought this was because of something I as the user had done, as opposed to a corrupted file. Now, when I do want to go get an update, I'm getting error code 80070490. I've looked up previous posts about this message, and the general consensus is that the only way to correct this is to "upgrade" from the original Vista disc. However, I didn't get a Vista disc with my laptop. When I run my system install disc, I can't select Windows to "update." In fact, the only option I can see that will pro…

However, when she works remotely over an SSL VPN connection, it comes back with no results depsite knowing the file she is searching for is obviously there. Searching the C:\ drive while remote works fine. Any ideas? Thanks Rex
