HUGE fonts/pictures/icons after changes
by Guest ALP- 0 replies
- 130 views
Often, after changes to my computer, (like installing updates, turning on or off User Account Controls, etc.), when I re-boot my computer all the words, pictures, icons, etc., on the screen are HUGE. Everything is blown up, as if I set the resolution to 200% or more!! Usually, if I restart, it goes back to normal. This happens quite often. Anyone else out there experience this? Why is this happening? Thank alot!

With Firewall on or off and Port 123 granted full access, time.windows.com will not connect. The other four paths provided connect and update as expected. Is this a Vista x64 issue? Thanks!

Patches installed during shutdown
by Guest Richard Fangnail- 0 replies
- 254 views
I just received update 933360 through Autoupdates. The yellow shield near the clock as usual and I wasn't sure why I was getting updated. Nothing happened for 10-15 minutes and then it said it would install the patch during shutdown, which it did. I understand this is because I shut down after the loading and before the installing of the update. It's only installed updates this way one time before. My autoupdate time is set for 3AM. Why did it install that way?

Vista Machine freezes with mouse activity
by Guest MoosieAZ- 0 replies

My environment is Vista Ultimate running on an Intel D975XBX2 motherboard with an E6600 Core 2 Duo processor and 2GB of DDR2-PC6400 [800] memory the graphics card is an ATI Radeon X1950 Pro-512MB. The situation is that the machine will freeze at different times [requiring a hard shutdown] most noticeably when I have double clicked on something. At first I suspected my Microsoft Desktop Elite mouse/keyboard for Bluetooth because the mouse would move erratically at times. I eliminated the Bluetooth devices [and dongle] and switched to a PS/2 keyboard and a USB wheel mouse. At first the problem seemed to go away, but that was misleading it has returned …

Sleep Mode and Hibernation Mode

With all the posts regarding these two problems, there is only two things to do. Change your power settings, so that your cpu never shuts off. Really folks, do you see any responses from Microsoft to fix these problems? No. May be with SP1 something will be done, for now Microsoft is not listening.

user rights
by Guest Ronnie19- 0 replies

Hi! I put this question into another forum, but this one seems to be the more correct one. I am trying to install RealPlayer on my Windows XP computer, and it keeps denying me saying that "I do not have the user rights in order to use this fuction to install RealPlayer, please contact your System Admin." Unfortunately, I am the System Admin. Any ideas? Thanks! -- Ronnie19 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ronnie19's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/member.php?userid=30091 View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/showthread.php?t=809747 http://forums.techarena.in

Outlook causes focus to keep switching!!!
by Guest Dave- 0 replies

Hi Guys, I have installed Office 2007 Ultimate onto Windows Vista Ultimate and everything is great apart from one VERY annoying anomaly. When I start Outlook it keeps switching focus to something else in the background and then back again. It does it about every 5 seconds and when I start another program it does that same thing, the start button does it as well but when I close outlook, everything seems to come back to normal. I have looked at the task manager and it seems to be something to do with "dwn.exe" can anyone please advise me on a solution to this. I am starting here because I dont want to ring India for tech support. (nothing against that acce…

- 258 views
I work in an office with several workstations. When I open, print, create, etc. a file from one of the work stations, it changes / converts the font size and also it changes / converts the apostrophe ' into an equal sign =. This only happens on one work station. This workstation is running Microsoft Word 2002 SP3 and running Windows XP Professional, Version 2002 SP2. Any ideas? I've tried to reinstall Microsoft Office and that did not help. This has been going on for some time and have no idea the date to use for system restore. Thanks! -- K.Sawyer

Security Policy / Auditing / Event Logs - Please Help!
by Guest Rafael- 0 replies
- 75 views
I'd be really grateful for some help please. I'm a newbie!! I have a Dell Latitude laptop running Windows XP Pro. The Security event log on this machine has hundreds of 'Success Audit' type entries. They are mainly events 528, 538, and 576 (Logon/Logoff, Privilege Use etc). When I say hundreds, I mean there appears to be an average of about 4 per minute under normal use. Whenever I have looked at the Security event log on other machines, 9 times out of 10 there's only one 'Success Audit' type entry there. I have looked at Control Panel --> Administrative Tools --> Local Security Policy --> Local Policies --> Audit Policies on the laptop. Ever…
