- 127 views
MSFT has released its DirectX End-User Runtimes for November 2007 (release date is yesterday). http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=1a2393c0-1b2f-428e-bd79-02df977d17b8 Not an imperative update but doesn't hurt to install it either. Useful if you are a gamer and run into a game that didn't include the updated DX files it needs. Applies to XP x64 as well as Vista x64. A 64 megs download. :) Carlos

Hi, I have a problem when I try to capture an WXP Image with WDS installing in W2003 Server R2. I select unit C: to capture and the name and description for the imagen. It´s ok. But the next step, when I try to connect with the server, appers a message: "the network in no present or not started". I´ve read in a post that I have to add the XP Nic driver to the image, but How can I do this? This problem occurs only with one machine. I hope you understand me, my english is a little wrong. ¡¡thank you for your help!!

Application only works in install mode
by Guest jkf1024- 0 replies
- 128 views
On a Windows 2003 SP1 Terminal Server, I have installed an application. Before installation, I used the "change user /install" command. After installation, I used "change user /execute." The application connects to a repository on a remote SQL server for authentication. The problem is user log in fails if the server is in excecute mode. If I change it back to install mode they are able to log in. We have tested multiple times with the same credentials so it's not a case of mistyping. I have also tried reinstalling using Add/Remove Programs but the the result is the same.

Help window shows up at wrong desktop
by Guest Mark- 0 replies
- 100 views
Hi, I have been having trouble with help files and multi desktops. I used FourDesktops (http://www.download.com/FourDesktops/3000-2346_4-10699388.html) to create new desktops, but help windows (for example, "Help and Support" from start menu) always show up on the default desktop. At first I thought that's FourDesktops' problem, so I wrote a simple program to create and switch (using CreateDesktop() and SwitchDesktop() APIs) to a non-default desktop, I got same result. Looks like Vista's help system doesn't recognize desktops? Is this a bug? Is there a KB I can install to fix this?

System process not finishing
by Guest Doug- 0 replies
- 81 views
Acer notebook. Suddenly the mousepad and keyboard are incredibly slow. A key must be held down for about 5 seconds before the character is accepted. In Task Manager, a process called "System" varies from 30% to 55% - even more than "System Idle". I thought this process finished once the boot up was complete. I did a system restore back to 2 days before this slowdown, but it has made no difference. How do I troubleshoot or how do I fix? -- Doug

Youre Not On Mute, You Know
by Guest aztech@163.com- 0 replies
- 125 views
I am a multitasker. That is why I love the mute button when on a conference call in my home. It allows me to get a few small tasks done, let my dog in and out of the house and keep a running commentary going with the host, with no one the wiser. I say things like "I agree." "I'm with you." "You're right." Sometimes I say things like: "That can't be right." "Well, I wouldn't put it that way." "I don't agree with you." Such was the case the other night, while on a conference call. However, I started to notice something different about this call. As always, I said a few words when I got on and immediately put myself on mute. Then it seemed as if ther…

Volume Control is missing
by Guest nettelbug- 0 replies
- 80 views
About a month ago I lost sound on my laptop. So I found the Disk and reinstalled the sound. Well far beyond me thinking that I lost the volume controller also but I did and it kept telling me that I needed to install it under Printers. Well of course I could not figure that one out because I could not figure out what I needed to install. I gave up on it and did without sound because I am lazy. But now My uncle calls me because I built him a Desktop system 2 years ago and he has the exact same problem and he live thousands of miles away from me so I know I did screw his system up also. Please help. He has a Gigabyte 7VM400M-RZ motherboard wit…

HI! I'm running Xp SP2. Yesterday I installed a Microsoft Natural Wireless Laser Mouse #6000. Now, every time I reboot the computer tries to install "new hardware" and fails when it tries to install "HID Non-User Input Data Filler" driver. I found that "Windows update" has "HID Non-User Input Data Filler" as an update but that also fails when it tries to install it! Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Bob Hauck
