Windows Mobile Sync Deleting Calendar Items
by Guest RockDawgLA- 0 replies
- 627 views
Running: Windows Vista Ultimate Outlook 2007 Pantech PN-820 SmartPhone Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 I have an unusual problem. When I sync my phone with Outlook, about 2-3 weeks worth of calendar items gets deleted from Outlook during the sync. The appointments in question are all about a month old. It keeps appointments older and newer than that time period. I have the sync set up to keep 3 months of past appointments in the Calendar setup. I can't figure out why it is doing this. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks

Desktop Search in Vista and Outlook 2007
by Guest Shari- 0 replies
- 132 views
WDS with Outlook 2007 simply doesn't work - results are inconsistent at best. Repeating a search gives completely different results from today to tomorrow. After trying all possible combinations of indexing options and waiting for days for indexes to rebuild and re-test I finally have to give up (they're not paying me to test paid-for software) and installed Google desktop. A search is simply useless if you cannot trust it. This must be a particularly clever strategy for the battle with Google in the software arena. I have to admit it's so clever I am not able to appreciate it.

My Computer folder problems when Folders pane is displayed
by Guest KarenH- 0 replies
- 66 views
If I try to display the Folders pane from My Computer when logged in as a standard user, it closes down. If I am logged in as an administrator, the Folders pane displays, but flashes as if refreshing very frequently. The cause of the problem seems to be a folder called 'Image Folder'. As an administrator, if I click on this folder, the flashing stops. If logged in as a standard user, the 'Folders' pane is ok if the 'Image Folder' is not visible (for example, if I go in to 'My Documents', the Folders pane is ok until I expand the My Computer node). Any ideas how I can get the folders pane to display properly?

problem with LookupAccountName
by Guest Christine_kh- 0 replies
- 239 views
Hi All, We are using LookupAccountNameW to get first size and later SID for groups where a user is memberof. If user is member of a group(let's call it TestGroup) where 'Pre-Windows 2000' name is different from 'Group Name', then mapping between sids and group's names has became somehow broken. At least LookupAccountNameW cannot any more found appropriate SID even for other groups, for example for group "Domain Users". If I change the name of TestGroup group so that names in 'Pre-Windows 2000' became the same as 'Group Name' mapping works ok for all groups. The same trouble happens if group "Domain Users" is added to "Pre-Windows 2000 Compatible Access"…

Modem problem
by Guest Bill Ridgeway- 0 replies
- 162 views
My fax software starts (on boot up) and complains that the (USB) modem is already in use. The hardware / software has worked OK for some time and has only recently shown this error. I am not aware of any hardware / software change (although, obviously, something has changed). I get round the problem by booting up with the USB modem disconnected. When re-connected the fax software recognises it and everything is OK. This is not much of a problem but I would like to be able to avoid this fiddle. Any suggestions please? Thanks. Bill Ridgeway

I am interested in building a new PC and would like to build it on a motherboard that has a TPM 1.2 module so that I can enable BitLocker with a TPM. I am having difficulting identifying desktop motherboards that have onboard TPMs. Can anyone point me to a list of motherboards that have TPMs and are recommended for use with Vista Ultimate? My current PC is built on the ASUS A8V-E Deluxe motherboard. Being familir with ASUS motherboards, I did search the ASUS site and identified some TPM "ready" motherboards, which state that the TPM must be purchased separately. It is not obvious how/where I would be able to purchase the TPM module and how I would ensur…

The following boot-start or system-start driver(s) failed to load
by Guest David Ocampo- 0 replies

Can anyone help with the following system error reported in Event Viewer? I am running Windows XP SP2. Windows is not properly loading cdr4_xp.sys which I believe is making my system unstable -- I sometimes get an unexpected Windows stop error, otherwise known as a "blue screen system crash." Even though Windows reports the driver is not loaded, Windows is still able to recognize the CD-ROM device. I already checked to make sure the system file is located in the path "C:\windows\system32\drivers" and it is there and the file is fine (not corrupt and no hidden virus). Microsoft does not have any knowledge base articles about this problem but it is well documen…
