by Guest stainless- 0 replies
- 215 views
have a Buffalo WMR-G54 router connected to my PC that acts as my wireless network. I generally use my Windows XP laptop to connect and never have any problem seeing the network and connecting to it. In fact, I can generally see 6 nearby networks, including my own. My network is on Channel 13, 802.11g, Open authentication, WEP. Recently I have bought a Windows Vista laptop for my mother, who does not have broadband set up yet and thus her network is not ready I decided to use it with my network to set up firewalls, etc, via the internet. However, Vista is not showing my network at all and I cannot connect. In fact, it is only showing 2 of the n…

Printer disappears
by Guest Andreas Y.- 0 replies
- 112 views
I have an HP Officejet 7310 on Vista Business. After installing the latest software from HP everything works fine. After a few days, the printer disappears both from the printers list and from Imaging devices in the devices section and so, it cannot be managed any longer by its software utilities. I believe that this gets worse if I suspend/resume my laptop instead of shutdown.

Wesley, I was directed to search this newsgroup for IP/RPC search by Steve Winograd from the Networking newsgroup. What I found here from you was the exact fix I needed for my issue of the ipconfig/renew error message I was getting: RPC server unavailable. I t5hink it was this hint that worked; Do the same for DHCP Client. This was the only one of the three jhints you highlighted here that was set to manual. After setting it to auto and starting it that the cable modem started up. Thank you so very much for your help.

RE: Update Rollup 2 for Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 (KB900325
by Guest Nathan Lewis- 0 replies
- 313 views
I had this problem, and I tried the "remove this KB and that KB" approach with no luck. So I downloaded the full "Update Rollup 2" installer (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e5daf37e-e243-4410-bc51-81cf2b56fe6e) and gave that a go. It failed, too. BUT... I was then able to go through the "MCSetup.log" file it created, and I discovered that it was actually the KB895572 package which was spitting out the 0x643 error code. And when I looked at the "KB895572.log", I found the reason - which makes absolutely no sense, of course: KB895572 is an update for Window Media Player 10, and if you attempt to install it silently onto a syste…

"install this CA certificate chain" generates error for non-admin
by Guest HighOnTCP@gmail.com- 0 replies
- 304 views
I cannot find a reference to this anywhere, but hopefully someone else has a clue as to where to start looking. Standalone CA running on 2k3 Ent. Clicking on "install this CA certificate chain" as a local admin of the box works just fine (you get the "this site may not be trusted" but that is all). If you are anything lower than a local admin, you get an Error! popup box with no details at all in it, just a yes or no button. Clicking yes installs the cert just as it should, no doesn't. Nothing in the event logs anywhere. Anyone else seen this and know what is happening, or can point me in the direction to start looking? thanks, erik

Uninstalling Logitech Drivers Corrupts Registry
by Guest flash@gmpc-usa.com- 0 replies
- 165 views
I've been trying to get rid of the 9.41 drivers as the mouse is acting weird and it looks like a driver problem - the only REAL problem is once I uninstall and reboot, the mouse and keyboard are gone. I can put a USB (the K/B and mouse are PS/2) on it and at least get THAT working, but there is - suddenly - a conflict (exclamation point) on the keyboard is an error 9 registry corrupted. The ONLY thing that repairs it - is an image replacement - am trying just a registry files restore now. Any ideas would be GREATLY welcome.

Vista 64 Remote Desktop SLOW to Win 2003 Server 64 on same domain
by Guest lex3001- 0 replies

I have been using a new Vista business 64-bit desktop for a month or so. I use Remote Desktop all the time, mostly to Windows XP x32, 2003 Server x32, and 2000 Server x32 machines without a hitch. However, we just installed a new server with Windows 2003 Enterprise x64 (these are all on the same domain, in the same rack, by the way) ... when I remote desktop to that server from the Vista 64 desktop, remote desktop performance is abysmal -- so SLOW it is unusable. I couldn't find anything on the MS site regarding this issue, but the following link: http://www.vistax64.com/vista-networking-sharing/79317-fixed-remote-desktop-connection-rdc-slow-no-connecti…

I have 2500 printers (HP) that I need to change the location of them and change the comment field as well. Can some one tell me where the best place is for doing this change via a script. Can it be done in WMI on the print server or does it have to be in AD or both? Thank you in advance
