How do I disable standby as the default (or override) for all users? Every time a new user logs onto a computer (Windows 2003 SBS domain), standby is enabled by default, the computer goes to sleep, & I cannot connect remotely using RDP as I normally do for remote maintenance, etc.

Can't connect to Westell Router
by Guest KDEJ- 0 replies
- 113 views
I recently got a new desktop PC with Vista Home Premium. Until two days ago it was connecting to my wireless router and the internet just fine. Now it will not connect to my wireless network at all. Sometimes it shows up in the available network list and sometimes it doesn't. Every now and then it appears to be connected but then when I go to access the internet it fails. I've spoken with Verizon Internet support and HP support at length with no resolution. My HP has a USB wireless 802.11 b/g adaptor. My two older laptops (both HP) have windows XP and are connecting to my Westell router with no problem. I assume the problem is with the new computer…

Switch User Freeze Problems
by Guest offwego- 0 replies
- 137 views
Recently a problem has developed with "switch user." In the past no problems but of late the process of switching from one user to another freezes as the second user's desk top appears. The start menu does not work or any other mouse stroke. At this point the only way out appears to be to switch the PC off and start again. The only way to avoid the freeze at "switch user" is for the first user to log out completely before the second user logs in, which is causing some friction between family members! Any ideas for solving this would be great. We have XP Pro.

The disk is write-protected. Remove the write-protection or...
by Guest Craig H. Foster- 0 replies
- 121 views
I am migrating from an older PC to a new Vista 64-bit Ultimate PC. In the past, the way I circumvented all the sharing issues of copying files from my old PC was to make an Acronis True Image 10 backup of the old PC. Then I'd mount that backup image on my new PC and copy files from that mounted image. It worked fine in XP but in Vista I get a "The disk is write-protected. Remove the write-protection or use another disk" error message on every file I try to copy. It doesnt matter if the archive is local or on a network HD. It doesn't matter if the file originates in a shared directory in the mounted image. And it doesnt matter if I try to copy to a 'public…

Hey! I hace a forum, http://www.night-warriors.com, and since I have Vista i can't see some of the images. I'm using Firefox, but when I use explorer i still have the same problem. When I use my other computer (XP) I see the images with no problems. My friend has Vista too and I still have the same problem on it. Is there any option on the computer that doesn't let me see the images on my forum?

Zoom going crazy! Won't stay small...
by Guest E.T.- 0 replies
- 122 views
I've about scratched a hole in my head on this one, helping someone w/new (3 mo. old) Dell notebook, Vista home premium preinstalled, new Dell external monitor. When using Dell's Fn + F8 key command to switch display to external display, the zoom goes crazy -- desktop icons zoom to large, and if you set them back, they automatically zoom large again (resolution is not changing, just icons zooming large). Same is true for icons in a window, or the contents of web page in IE -- zoom immediately goes to 1000% there. Dell had no answers to this. Any ideas? Thanks.

XP Dialer and Internet Explorer
by Guest Speedy- 0 replies

Hello, I had a perfectly working PC with XP home edition (still SP1) with an ADSL internet connection which was automatically called via the Dialer when IE was run. Doson't dial as such but made the connection nevertheless. After the forced install of MSN upgrade, IE no longuer dials up anything. This is even though the option is still set up to dial up connection. It jsut can't get a connection. I can get the internet connection up and running via the network set up (old windows 95 & 98 remedy see Q255070 from MS). I can get the connection activated when outlook is run and the auto connect ption is selected but this is messy as it first can't find th…
