If this hasn't come through in my blog, I have a sincere respect for Microsoft. I particularly appreciate what it has done with SharePoint. Microsoft has grown a lightweight collaboration portal into $800 million in revenue in just a few short years. It is the fastest-growing product in Microsoft's history. Microsoft being Microsoft, it is sharing the wealth with its partner ecosystem. Yes, Microsoft routinely runs roughshod over its partners but, to be fair, it's hard for a company that size to do much of anything without squashing partners in the process. But in the case of SharePoint, partners will help to drive SharePoint into all sizes of enterprises and i…

KB937986 failed, kept wanting to reinstall, + solution
by Guest Lucvdv- 0 replies

MS Update kept telling me it needed to install KB937986 (Security update for Virtual PC 2004 and Virtual PC 2004 SP1), and all attempts to install kept failing. The contents of KB937986.log in E:\Temp were: Resource copy failed from E:\Temp\Virtual PC.exe to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Virtual PC\Virtual PC.exe The file E:\Temp\VirtualPC.exe was there (it wasn't even deleted after the failed install), and the path on C: is the correct destination. The version on E: was 5.3.0.583, that on C: was version 5.3.0.582, so the copy operation was really failing. I immediately suspected that it failed because my Temp directory is on another drive, and…

Unable to log into my administrator account!
by Guest Julian B- 0 replies
- 108 views
Well, it's pretty much as it sounds. After the 08/15-07 update, I'm not able to log into my administrating account due to, what Microsoft describes as safetyrelated problems and possible broken files... I get this message in a small box right after writing my password. A new box then appears, saying that the computer will create a temporary account which does not save ANY changes made while logged in. I am certainly no expert on computers, so I would really appreciate any sort of help that could end my miseries... :) Thank You.

How to Install W2K on a Modern System (Lessons Learned the Hard Way)
by Guest W. Watson- 0 replies
- 283 views
Learned from various sources including the thread I started here, "Can W2K Be Installed on SATA Drives?" Let me start with an explanation of "the Hard Way". I have a P5NSLI ASUS motherboard that supports both IDE and SATA controllers. The key word is "both". I wanted to install W2K on the STATA HD, a 320G WS SATA drive. I had some fun trying to get to a point where the OS install asked how I wanted to partition the drive. I was stumped by this window that came up in the install: ============================== 76294 MB Dis 0k on bus 0 on atapi C:NIFS(Drv1_main) 76003MB<6360MB Free D:FAT32(Drv1_extra) 290MB<237MB Free 131070MB Disk 0 at at 0? on?…

I'm not even sure where to begin with this problem. IE opens randomly and tries to load the following web page: http://www.example.net/some/place/ It fails and gives me an HTTP 404 error. Does anybody know what program might be making this happen? Any ideas on how I might find the offending program? More importantly, how do I make it stop. Thanks for any help you can give.

Dropped network shares
by Guest Gregg- 0 replies
- 69 views
I have a system running XP Pro SP2 with 2 shared folders and a shared printer that the other computers in the workgroup (all XP Pro SP2) need to access. The shared folders are mapped as drives on all the other computers. We have been having a problem with the computer with the shared drives disappearing from the network along with the shared printer. If we reboot the computer it will usually reappear on the network. I have checked to see if there are any scheduled tasks that might be running that would cause the problem but there doesn't seem to be. Any help will be appreciated. TIA, Gregg
