"The device sent an incorrect response(s) following a keyboard reset." Just lately, the multimedia keys on my HP (Compaq) keyboard often do not work correctly. Some keys (like volume up/down and mute) did still work, but the on-screen displays are missing. The "internet" keys do not work at all. I noticed in the Event Viewer the error mentioned above occurs at a boot up, source i8042prt, and this appears to stop the HP keyboard extension driver KBD.exe from running correctly. All the normal standard keyboard functions are ok. On the odd occasion the i8042prt error does not occur at boot up, and then ALL the multimedia keys work correctly. As per suggest…

Currently we are using thunderbird email clients. Was wondering if there is a way to add a nickname to the schema that would appear under user manager. An example would be Robert L Smith and a person could just type in RLS to send an email to that person. Linux email server.

by Guest Carlos- 0 replies
- 292 views
In spite of having rejected the Serial ATA optional update for NForce chipsets offered by Windows Update, "it" silently decided that it was imperative and installed by itself at around 2:00 am while I was peacefully sleeping. Woke up at 7:00, went to check my e-mail but the only thing I could see was a BSOD with crash dump and etc. Powered off, rebooted, and Vista x64 would freeze when assemlbing the desktop. Mouse activity, yes. Response: none Root cause: nForce Serial ATA installed. Rebooted, F8, Last Known Good Configuration and everything was back to normal. Serial ATa controller was back to the one released by NVidia during February (version 15.00, …

I cannot get it to install either and am about ready to call MS Support at 800-936-5700. They offer FREE phone support for security issues and helped me immensely yesterday after trouble installing a .NET 1.1 patch, then getting me converted to 2.0, which is where I'm at now with the current install problem. I noticed your blog date is a week old so I'm hoping you've discovered a solution to share by now before I make the call? skip "Sabo, Eric" wrote: > I cannot get KB917283 to install on a Windows 2003 SP1 running Exchange 2003 > Service Pack 2.

Hi all. My windows 2000 file server has serveral warnings "The server was unable to find a free connection n times in the last 60 seconds". I have tried setting my minfreeconnections and maxfreeconnections to 256 and 4096 respectively but still face the same problem. Base on this website http://support.microsoft.com/kb/830901 i can set my minfreeconnections and maxfreeconnections to 512 and 16384 respectively, however my srvsvc.dll file is an earlier version than the 5.0.2195.6930 required. Hence how can i update the version of srvsvc.dll file in my win2k server? Can i copy from win2003 server and overwrite it? Thks in advance.

Hi all, Windows SBS 2003 that I had to reinstall (repair) today. Reinstallation went fine, however, brought me back to IE 6. When I try Microsoft (Windows) Updates, the site goes into "Checking for the latest version of Windows Updating software..." and a yellow pop-up bar for AxtiveX appears. I install ActiveX. The page briefly reloads and goes AGAIN into "Checking for the latest version of Windows Updating software..." with ActiveX warning, and on and on and on. It is not a firewall issue. Windows firewall is OFF, and the only firewall we have is our router with which everything worked just yesterday. Services "Automatic updates", ""BITS" are star…

Can't delete files!
by Guest Nate- 0 replies
- 193 views
Recently I used Windows to delete "SecuRom" from my computer. After I did that it left some "hidden" files in one of my main folders. I have managed to drag that folder onto my desktop but I can not get it into my recycle bin. Everytime I try and delete the files I am told that the files no longer exist, yet I can see an icon very clearly stating that they are in fact there. The file names themselves look like some weird gothic writing, I'm guessing they are just left over code and that the windows no longer has a key to them, but how do I delete them off my desktop and get rid of the icons??

Hello all. After installing VISTA Ultimate 64 BIT, I can't use my printer. It's a HP LaserJet 3052 connected by USB cable. (it's a multifunction unit with printer, scanner and fax all-in-one). When I plugged in the USB cable, Windows recognized the hardware and told me that the drivers was successfully installed, but when I go to control panel, I can't find the printer and I can't select the printer when I want to print something. I can only select fax and "Microsoft XPS Document Writer" when I try to print anything. When I go to control panel -> System -> Devise Manager I can see the LaserJet two places. One is "Picture units" where it's located as a sc…
