Dear all, in order to save energy, I would like to be able to remotely shutdown / wake on LAN my up-to-date-patched XP Prof SP2 (Dell Optiplex 745) machine. I created a small shortcut to %windir%\system32\rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState Hibernate to be able to hibernate via remote desktop, and successfully use AquilaTech's WakeOnLan to reboot. However, since sometime/some patch (cannot reproduce what exactly changed) a hibernation leads to an immediate reboot after a random amount of time (usually several minutes). I am sittinng behind several layers of firewalls in a big network (university), so wake-up-signals from "out-in-the-wild" should not be …

In vista, when I want to attach a picture to an email, i go to pictures, click the picture I want to email, click email at the top of the page. A small box comes up and asks me which size i want the attachment, then says attaching.... Then a sign in box appears for my hotmail account and takes me to new message. In the body of the email it says 'This email is ready to be sent with the following attachments...... BUT when I check the attachments box below nothing is actually attached, Im very confused, used to work just fine in XP, the only way is to attach as a file but then its HUGE. Can anyone help me. Thakns Lesley

I have a number of XP SP2 machines to be updated via SMS. Because it is difficult to sort out which are using XML 4, 5 or 6, is it advisable to install all 3 patches in sequence, regardless of the actual configuration? What could go wrong? Thank you, /_urka

So I just got a new vista laptop and every time I shut down and restart I have to manually connect to my wireless network. I have it set to automatically connect and it looks like it's trying when it first boots up but than it doesn't connect. When I go to it, I can connect right away manually but I just don't understand why it won't connect on its own. Are there any other settings I need to play around with? Thanks

I have encountered a problem with Windows installer, which seems not to be working properly. This does not allow me to install the updated version KB893803 v2. In fact, whenever i run the file downloaded from microsoft (WindowsInstaller-KB893803-v2-x86.exe) I get the message "Extraction failed: Can't find the specific file." Current File Version: 3.1.4000.4039 How can i correct the windows installer? Thanks in advance.

Hi, On my Windows 2000 Server SP4 file server there is no option to change the owner to other users or groups, the option box just isn't there, I can only set the owner as administratot or the user currently logged on. Also, when a user creates a new folder no owner is assigned at all so it can not inherit any permissions. Would anyone know why this is occuring? Thanks, Colin

Hi, As far as I can tell. I am only able to set up & manage email filters by accessing Live Mail through my browser and then accessing more options. I prefer using the desktop version as I can keep it running in the background and I don't have to keep opening up my browser to access/manage my email. But it doesn't have the option to set up & manage email filtering. Or at least I haven't found that option anywhere. Does anyone know if it is currently possible or if it will be added in a future version? Couldn't it be added as an extra tab on the "Email Safety Options" found under Tools?

We applied the hot fix to our Exchange 2003 server so that we can now reply to and compose emails using Vista/IE7/Outlook Web Access. However, now we find that we can't view attachments at all. Is there a patch for this one too???? We also can't edit our notes. Please advise, very frustrating for end users and making us wish we never got a Vista machine.....XP looks awesome right now.

when I right click on a folder and click "restore previous versions", the box comes up blank. it shows the tabs but not the box where all the files should be. I have tried to find something on the internet and tried a "solution". this was binding the file and sharing protocol to a network connection.

I am using a Mad-as-a-fish broadband connection, and I cannot access the internet with certain applications. I have followed the soloution on their site, and it didn't work. I recently installed Visual C# 2008 Express which requires a connection to the internet. It worked fine. Windows Update can function perfectly. However when I use Office XP (Outlook and Frontpage) to access the internet, they can't. Same for IE7. Does anyone know why this has happened, and is there a soloution?
