how do I correct this update wont update outlook junk email filter 2003 KB942571

Dear All, Ages ago, I stumbled across a post (either on a newsgroup, or google) that told me how to reduce the things that windows copies on a Roaming Profile, and for the life of me I can't find it anymore...I was only wanting things like Favourites, Start Menu, etc... Application Data, tmp, My Documents, etc? I don't want copying back and forth.. Hope someone can remind me of what I did ages ago to sort this problem... Regards Paul.

I have dual core 64 bit system running win xp 64 pro. Microsoft says I need service pack 2 so i download and install it. The system goes through post and reboots. Have tried fixboot, fixmbr, no changes. (( I do NOT recommend 64 bit vista or anything)). -- jimmcaw

I'm running Vista Home Premium. After checking for updates, I receive error 8007277B. I have read what 'help' has to say about it, but I'm not sure how their solution applies. Thanks, -- Magnificent Man

Last night my updates ran (set for auto update during the night). I checked and got KB905866, KB941651, KB939653, KB941202, KB933729. Yesterday I was on line and all of my many Favorites were there. This a.m. I was set back to the Favorites I had in mid May when I purchased my laptop. Something happened during the updates! I have searched to see if they were renamed and put some where else. I could not find I even searched for one or 2 individual bookmarks and they are not found. When I look in the Favorites folder it matches the links I have on the Favorites dropdown-the mmid may list. Any gentle and basic guidance will be appreciated. Am I …

I was going to save a webpage as a quick reference today when I discovered that it will not even open the save as box. I have all recent downloads on my pc but have no ideas what else I should try. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

We lost our second DC a week ago. I installed a new DC. A few days later the only Windows '98 PC that logs into the domain gets an error indicating "the password is incorrect or they do not have permission to log into the domain." Since the only thing that changed was the new DC, I turned it off. They were able to immediately log into the domain. The first DC is named Server1 and the new DC is called DC2. Any ideas? TIA jwkh

It appears that there is a bug in the taskbar property manager when some symbols (such as networking, speakers, and battery) are selected, the preview screen gets rid of the wrong ones, or adds in the wrong ones. On the actual screen there is no problem, but is there some way to fix this? I am currently running Vista Buisness Edition, with a Sony laptop. Anyone have a suggestion?

Hi, I want to play with various ways to make indexed search work to my liking. Question 1: Are there some command line utility or VBScripting ways to change what is indexed, and if so, what are they and where are they documented? For example, I'm thinking that in order to be able to index all files (meaning ALL, no matter who the owner is, or hidden or system status, or whatever), perhaps I could change the option to index every file extension with the 'file properties' filter. I'm thinking that this filter should allow rebuilding the index in a matter of minutes and give rapid results similar to what we got with W98. Doing that manually has two pro…

Hi, I connect to my w2k Server via remote connexion with my vista being both boxes on the same network and every so often, it's logging me off (don't know which of the two boxes). The same happens when I connect to the server via internet. Anyone can help me out and tell me where can I start to look? TIA Ana

I was trying to setup an internal cert server for administrative use (for things like Dell's Server Manager and other hardware based interfaces) and i was able to setup cert server ok and generate certs just fine but IE still gives me an error because its not a trusted CA. I went to the http://server/certsrv and i noticed there is a link to "Download a CA certificate, certificate chain, or CRL" and i click on that and it gives me a link to install a "Certificate chain" and says that if i install that it will add it as a trusted CA, and that the server should be a trusted root CA. so i do that, it installs fine, i look in IE and i can see my server is in that hu…

We have a user who is trying to open a Microsoft Word document at our company which is published to the company web page. However, when he clicks on the file link, he gets a frame inside of Internet Explorer saying "OLE Compound File" and then showing some file details. Everyone else who clicks on the link has the document open properly as a Word file. Does anyone have any suggestions?

On a new PC with preinstalled Vista Home Premium, I tried to install the password recovery tool Revelationv2 from http://www.snadboy.com. It failed with the error of not recognizing some helper dll. Then I tried to copy the main revelation.exe from a usb stick to the desktop. But it refuses since I "do not have the right to do so". However, that does not happen with other exe files. I even cannot look up rightclick - properties - security. What control in Vista may be responsible for this restriction? Thank you, Aristide

I have recently received a few PCs obsoleted by a local company that I am cleaning up to donate. They all have a text message and title activated in Interactive Logon that is grayed out when I view it under Local Security Settings/Security Options. How can I remove this? I know my way around XP pretty well, but I'm not a sysadmin or anything so plese keep the explanations simple and step by step if possible. TIA for any help....

2 of our Vista laptops intemittently get a print spooler error and all their captured printers disappear. Rebooting sometimes helps and I've already tried checking the LPD/LPR services in Control Panel | Windows Features referenced in another help document which helped for just a couple days. Anyone else have any other ideas? Thanks

I have windows Vista. I visited HGTV and clicked on a blog. The jpeg pictures showed up in my picture gallary and appear on my desktop google bar and in the picture gallary. I have deleted them a number of times and deleted them "permantely" from the recycle bin. I've run Windows Defender, Windows Live One care, Pit stop, and Spybot. They don't show as cookies or a virus but they just keep coming back. Any suggestions of what to do? Thanks.

I am trying to share a printer from command line using following command rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /Xs /n "HP Officejet 6200 series" "ShareName" "HP Officejet 6200 series-Share" attributes +Shared The above command is working fine in XP. If I run this same command in "Windows XP embedded", it shares the printer successfully but end up with a popup as "Operation Could not be completed" .Since I am executing this command from c# code, the executing is not moving to next line and application hangs up.
