Problem with proxy?
by Guest Quba- 0 replies
- 84 views
Hi everyone, I have a problem with connecting to internet by squid proxy server. While I'am trying to log in to proxy, after confirming the authorization the web isn't starting. It's just view a message: "Url could not be retrieved, access denied, contact to your proxy admin". I'm wondering is solution of the problem on terminal (maybe some application blocked some ports) or on proxy side (admin disabled access from this end-terminal). I especially turn this question to admins, please help.

Vista lock the files when I index an UNC path...
by Guest Jeje- 0 replies

Hi, When I download and activate the search add-on to search and scan UNC shared folders, Vista lock the files when I edit them. For example, I open a word document from an UNC folder, and when I try to save it, Vista says the file is allready open. So I have to save the file under another file name. If I deactivate the search to scan my UNC folders, then everything works fine. any idea of what can I do? thanks. Jerome.

Access report to pdf using SQL Server ad Terminal Services
by Guest Gina Whipp- 0 replies

It was suggested by the 'creator' I post this question here to see if anyone has run across this issue and found a solution... Hello All, Maybe someone has come across this problem before. I have been using Stephen Lebans ReportToPDF for sometime now and LOVE IT (Thanks Stephen!!!). I have an Access database, tables on SQL Server and front being accessed thru Terminal Services with an HP LaserJet 4 printer. When I send the report to .pdf the font changes from Times New Roman to Arial! The .snp is in Times New Roman, so my thought is it's not the utility or Access and I just want a confirmation and to know if anyone has run into this problem and has a sug…

Message filters for this newsgroup: linux, ubuntu, etc.
by Guest notaguru- 0 replies
- 563 views
This newsgroup is very useful for me, but it's been time consuming running past the many messages that have nothing to do with the subject at hand. You'd think that linux is a messianic movement! I've shrunk my scanning time 40% by using (for the first time ever!) Thunderbird's usenet client filters, plonking subjects LINUX, UBUNTU, and certain senders who have never generated a single on-topic post. Ike

how to add system icon for all users
by Guest Mac- 0 replies

Hi, Let me preface this with I'm a graphics guy, not a technical one so forgive me if I sound like an idiot. I've created 4 new icons (.ico files) for our small department to use as folder icons on our department shared drive. Another person in the dept has the icon files saved to her desktop too, and we can each change the folder icons on our respective computers, but the folders I create in the shared drive show up on her computer with the default Windows folder icon just as folders she creates appear with the default icon on my screen. If I change a folder icon to one of Windows other standard icons, all of us see it the same way, so my guess is our…

Why, after setting updates to "Automatic", does it require an admin to start the updates? XP just downloads the updates and sits around with it until an admin logs in the computer.

After Windows update, Lotus Notes kinda hangs
by Guest Steve- 0 replies
- 279 views
I implemented Windows updates yesterday, (KB39373, KB936357, and KB890830) and after restart, I start Lotus Notes. It comes up, and lets me log in but then, the window does not completely paint, and it is consuming most of my CPU. I can click on items in my In-box, but they never display. When I close Notes, it closes just fine...not hung. I restored my system to a prior checkpoint, but the problem still exists. Any notion what is going on with these updates that will cause Notes to tank like this? Thanks.

The Windows update notification icon showed updates were available for me to download. I looked at them, then started the download. I had all 9 of them selected. 6 of the 9 were downloaded and installed. I have tried several times to download the last 3 without any success. I have zonealarm, and have stopped zonealarm, restarted my laptop and tried to download the last 3 updates, still no luck. I also turned off AVG free, still no luck. It looks like the updates are being downloaded, but there is no data coming to this laptop. It is like my laptop is not connecting to there (Microsofts server). But as soon as I "Stop the update/Installation", I can surf th…
