successfully reinstalled Windows GSM 6.10 codec
by Guest Lyle Walsh- 0 replies
- 102 views
Thanks for your help Peter. Those directions in the previous post didn't reinstall the codec but got me on the right track. My codec Microsoft GSM 6.10 was deleted when I uninstalled the old version of ACE MegaCodecs as it is a stadard windows component but also comes in the ACE Megapack. Unfortunately, reinstalling Ace didn't repair the damage. To reinstall the codec follow the directions outlined here on the Ventrilo FAQ: http://www.ventrilo.com/faq.php#codec1 where you basicly use add/remove hardware from the control panel and pretend that you are adding a new sound device and pick out the Microsoft GSM 6.10 codec. HOWEVER, what the FAQ directions don'…

google search box plugin for Outlook is missing
by Guest mark.opala@gmail.com- 0 replies
- 107 views
I think I've fixed this problem, I wanted to log it to help anyone who's looking for an answer to this problem: Sometimes the Google Search box doesn't appear in Outlooks toolbar tray and I have no idea why. I've tried closing and relaunching Outlook, and restarting my system. the possible solution is this: I shut down Outlook, open Windows Task Manager go to "Process tab", sort the view by "Mem Usage" so the large numbers are on top. then select outlook.exe and click "end process". Relaunch Outlook, tada, the google search box reappears hope this is helpful to someone else let me know if there's a healthier solution to this problem

Printer Woes
by Guest maitakeboy- 0 replies
- 169 views
Two issues: 1- On one of my print servers, I have created printers within a domain user account which is a member of the local administrators group. When I try to go and configure those printers, most everything is greyed out, specifically the Advanced tab with the Printing defaults. 2- My printers folder on this machine is a little funky generally. When I log off as one user and log on as another, I can't get the printers folder to enumerate the printers. It says 7 printers at the bottom of the window, but hands with the hourglass indefinitely. A reboot solves this, but I still can't log off and log on and see printers in each user profile. Any ideas…

Windows XP Pro x64 Performance Monitoring Permissions
by Guest 5000wpm@googlemail.com- 0 replies
- 391 views
Hi, Recently we have upgraded our systems to Windows XP Pro x64 and have run into a Permissions Problem. The problem I am working on involves normal users being able to use the 'Process Monitor' administration tool. After a bit of searching I discovered the following from MS: >From Windows Server 2003, you will get an exception if you try to get process performance information under a non-admin account. The workaround is to add that account into the Performance Counter Users Group." I have found this response in server places quoting both "Performance Counter User" and "Performance Counter Users" Our domain is functioning as a Windows Server 2003 domain…
