external hard drive permissions
by Guest oxeimon- 0 replies
- 104 views
So I've got a Vista ultimate desktop, and a ubuntu linux laptop. I also just bought a new external hard drive, and for some reason, my ubuntu laptop has no write permissions to it. I tried looking at its permissions on my vista desktop, but I can't seem to add permissions for people that aren't somehow connected to my desktop. For example, there are permissions for administrators, users, SYSTEM, and authenticated users, but they all refer to the vista desktop. How can I give my laptop write permissions to the hard drive? Or, perhaps an easier question: How do I remove all restrictions from the hard drive? please help!!! :-D thanks

Java problems with IE7 & Firefox on Vista Business Edition
by Guest paddyc@gmail.com- 0 replies
- 98 views
Hi, hope someone can help... This morning, after a Windows update, Java stopped working in IE (version 7). Downloaded and installed Firefox but got same problem in Firefox. Tried reinstalling Java but the Java download page came up the message "We encountered an issue while trying to automatically install Java software onto your machine". So, downloaded it manually and reinstalled it (installer stated that it was already installed). Java still not working after reinstallation. Then tried running both IE and FF 'as administrator'. In both cases, Java worked. This would suggest it's permissions or something similar (perhaps UAC?). Anyway, I certainly …

Hi, I have some problems now twice times the same: On the desktop I'll found the information, to send a bugform to the support center for the software : SMS-manager.

I have been having an issue with this particular piece.

Windows 2003 SP1 PDC announces itself as stratum 1
by Guest brilleslange@gmail.com- 0 replies
- 85 views
Hi all, I have the following setup: NTP client: Single domain controller (Windows 2003 SP1) with w32time service running. Being the only DC in the domain (and forest), it has all FSMO roles including the PDC-role. NTP server: GNU/Linux running ntpd at stratum-2. The w32time service har been configured using: "net time / setsntp:<ip_of_linux_ntp_server>" + net stop/start w32time. Problem: When starting the w32time service (or when running "w32tm /resync"), the PDC announces itself as being a stratum-1 server, so when the NTP- server - being a stratum-2 server - receives NTP requests from the PDC, it silently ignores the requests from the PDC. …

http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/another-desktop-cube-for-windows-xpvista/ The Desktop Cube effect for Linux is extremely popular because people love eye candy, but the choices for Windows are much less interesting. The latest utility to give this effect for Windows is surprisingly fast, and works on both XP and Vista. Of course, Keyboard Ninjas prefer keyboard shortcuts to snazzy desktops, but that's not the point is it? Here's the screen in action, which is surprisingly fast on my Vista laptop. .........see the rest on the link I provided........
