Better file structure organization
by Guest Dave- 0 replies
- 176 views
I think this whole virtualization thing is nice, however, in terms of organization, it's a complete mess. Every time an uncompatible Vista program comes along and obtains a file I want to view, I gotta go searching for it. If there was a nice structure that went something like this, it would be easier for end-users: User files-Only for user related stuff. User access only. Virtual Store-prgm config files, generated files, logs, etc go here. (basikly all the garbage n00bs don't get) Admin and prgm access only. Prgm Files-Only for installers and uninstallers. Installer and admin access only. OS files-Only for OS stuff. OS access only. Maybe I am wrong a…

Using an older Scanner/Twain Driver with Windows XP
by Guest Carl Bergstrom- 0 replies
- 76 views
I have a SCSI scanner (Relisys) and connected an Adaptec AVA-2906 Fast SCSI PCI card in the appropriate expansion slot. I loaded the scanner driver from a CD I purchased (and downloaded the Adaptec Driver for Windows, version 4.71) from the web. My PC uses Windows XP Media Center edition. I am using Presto Image Folio which I installed from a CD. I have 2 problems. First, when I turn on the scanner and then the computer, the computer tells me I have new hardware installed (the SCSI card and scanner) and that I must load the driver. This program does not recognize the scanner driver from the CD, or from the hard drive when I copy it from the CD or from the files wh…

Need Help with VIsta and GPO
by Guest Chris Peikert- 0 replies
- 168 views
There are 2 things we are having problems with. 1. Domain GPO will work with VISTA but if you create a GPO on the OU containing Vista the settings will not take affect. They are both enabled. Why? 2. When you try to use the Group Policy Manager to query the results of the policies affecting a Vista pc an error pops ups saying: Failed to connect. Check WMI service. The service is running. What now?

Photo Screensaver speed
by Guest Scott- 0 replies
- 157 views
I've given up on anyone fixing the Vista Photo Screensaver. For the record, it flashes through each picture about every 6 seconds, even at the "slow" setting. It was annoying. F.Y.I. -- XP screensavers work in Vista (Ultimate ed. for me). Copy the ssmypics.scr from an XP C:\windows\system32 folder to the same one on your Vista machine. And. Done. The "My Pictures Slideshow" is now available for a screensaver, with up to 3 minutes viewing available before the picture changes. Someone changed this program to the Vista version. It's obvious they spent more time with the different transitions and less time thinking about how well the old prog…

Troubleshooting SNMP
by Guest Canuck geoff- 0 replies
- 81 views
I have two servers (Win2K3 SP1) identically configured for SNMP. They both have two different community strings. On one server an application is able to poll String A. On the other it can't. Checking the firewall the request passes towards the server but never comes back. From the firewall a test of String B works fine. We have double checked the community string is spelled correctly Netstat also confirms that port 161 is open. Nothing in the event logs. Is there anything else I can check to confirm the request is making it to the server and what happens inside? I was thinking netmon might show me the packets. Is there any value in recreating the comm…

IE6 on Win2K Won't Access SSL Pages

Suddenly, Internet Explorer 6 on Win2K Pro won't browse to any SSL webpage. Administrator accounts can access SSL pages, but non-administrator accounts get the IE "page not found" error. I've recently had to fix corrupt user accounts, and these accounts are the ones that can't access SSL pages. Firefox can access SSL pages fine. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks, Pat

USB Mouse Start & Stops Intermittently
by Guest Borhunt- 0 replies
- 220 views
I have a Microsoft Optical Mouse (in fact it happens on more than one type of Microsoft USB mouse) that connects and disconnects from the USB port intermittently. I will go to move the cursor and the computer will ding with the SUB Device disconnect and then it will ding with the USB device connect. Sometimes it will do it several times in a row. Someimtes I have to disconnect the USB connector and reinsert it to get it working again. this occurs on all USB ports on the latop, several mice, and I have moved the harddrive to another laptop and the problem moves with it.

RIS to WIM (WDS) image conversion
by Guest szilagyic- 0 replies
- 114 views
Hello: We recently installed Win 2003 Server SP2 on a server that we primarily use for RIS. RIS was upgraded to WDS with SP2 according to the instructions released by Microsoft (http://technet2.microsoft.com/ WindowsVista/en/library/9e197135-6711-4c20-bfad-fc80fc2151301033.mspx? mfr=true). We have configured WDS exactly as this documentation describes. Microsoft failed to include any instructions on how to upgrade RIS images to WDS. After some reading we determined how to do this. Currently this is where we ran in to a roadblock. When we try to convert our old RIS images to WIM images, the process goes through until the very end of the progress bar, it s…

I recently upgraded my pc from a P4 with h/t to a pentium 840ee. I am running windows xp sp2. Now I am experiencing a degrade in system performance. Hardware manager is showing the acpi multi-processor and system resources shows the four threads. I didnt reinstall windows when I did the upgrade. Could this be my problem? Is there anyway to fix this without reinstalling windows? Thank you in advance.
