Remote Desktop Users and Least User Rights
by Guest Thomas M- 0 replies
- 161 views
We have undertaken a project to switch all of our users to standard user accounts (no administrative rights on the local machine). We have many users that are setup so that they can access their computers from home. We've noticed that when the user is removed from the Administrators group, the list of authorized remote users (My Computer > Properties > Remote tab > Select Remote Users) gets wiped out. An administrator then has to log on to the machine and add the user back to the list. I can see why this would happen, but it does present something of a problem for us. I would prefer not to have to fix this problem on hundreds of machines. …

My Network places not refreshing
by Guest Dale- 0 replies
- 172 views
Until a couple days ago "My Network Places" would refresh itself upon opening, showing other computers' shares on my network. For some reason it has stopped doing that. If I start at "View Network Computers" and drill down from there, the other computers show and can be accessed. Anyone know what I might have done inadvertently to stop it from showing the other computers that it knows are there? -- Dale

UAC blocking changes to shortcut properties
by Guest nb5- 0 replies
- 169 views
UAC appears to block changes to certain shortcuts, such as Command Prompt. Obviously, changing shortcuts system-wide should require an elevation, and indeed a prompt appears when changing such a shortcut. However, no changes take effect, even though elevation succeeded. This seems to be a bug, perhaps only in the special property pages for command-line programs. My specific problem that triggered this post was in modifying extended properties of a command line program shortcut, Windows PowerShell. I wanted to change its layout from 60 lines high to 59. Unfortunately, the only way to change this is to run PowerShell as administrator and change the properties…

Media Center Not Working
by Guest Tritonv8- 0 replies
- 404 views
I bought a new computer that came with Home Premium loaded on it. After a few weeks I decided to upgrade to Ultimate. After doing so Media Center no longer loads. Also I have no cursor either after installing the Logitech mx 3200 desktop. It asks me what type of setup I would like and I hit ok. After that it freezes up the just closes without doing anything else. I'm rather perplexed as it worked before I installed the upgrade.

Crypt32.cll
by Guest Sandytoo- 0 replies

I am running XP and seem to be having a problem with the Crypt32.dll file. I get error messages that say "The proceedure entry point CryptSignAndEncodeCe could not be located in the dynamic library CRYPT32.dll" This seems to be effecting certain applications, most particularly Internet Explorer. ( I have IE 7) When I click on a link which should open a new browser window, I get a "Cant Locate that Page" error in the same window and no other window opens. In fact, I had to post this question in Firefox because IE wouldnt open a window for me to post in...just gave me the same " cant find that page" error. How can I repair the Crypt32.dll file without havi…

My main regional/language/keyboards settings are for UK English, but occasionally I need to type in Kana (Japanese). For months my Text Services and Input Languages dialog (accessible via Regional Settings applet in Control Panel) has looked like this: http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w112/walkermoore/xp%20problems/Regional-Settings-2.jpg This morning however, something had clearly gone wrong because the only languages available through the text input tool were EN (UK) and EN (US) and the above dialog now looked like this: http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w112/walkermoore/xp%20problems/Regional-Settings-3.jpg The UK keyboard is still there (limited w…

I am trying to boot virtual guest from phisical disk (under VMWARE) and I receive STOP: 0x0000007B. I think I need SCSI drivers (propably LSI because only LSI is avaible when we use phisical disk). I need these drivers for Longhorn Server 64 bit (Maybe for vista or 2003 will be good - Do anybody know?). Do anybody know where can I download these drivers? Moreover how to install these drivers (I can boot this machine normally without virtualization and it is working OK)? Is any posibility to add this drivers to the system when I have access to the filesystem?
