Anyone have any experience with a CDP (continuous data protection) device manufactured by SonicWall, specifically the 2440i model? Any of them for that matter. I'm considering buying one for a Win2k server running AD. It's a small network with about a dozen users. -- Jordon

I remember when I first bought Windows XP Professional, that when you ran Error Checking, after the reboot you would get the blue screen with helpful text telling you what stage of disk error checking you were at. Now, with all Service Packs and patches applied, there is NO screen at all. What's up with that ? TIA. Steve

Hello Everyone, I have an administrative installation point (AIP) of Office XP and 2003 on one of our servers. To patch our client PCs I run the following on each: msiexec.exe /i \\LocalAIPServer\OfficeXP\pro.msi REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomu /q. This is a Microsoft recommended method of updating Office installations. This had worked in the past, but has recently stopped working, and I don't know why. For example, Word XP. I checked winword.exe on the AIP, and it has the version 10.0.6829.0. I ran the above command manually on a client PC, but after it finished the version of winword.exe on the client PC was still 10.0.6826.0 I checked the version…

A bluetooth GPS receiver connected to a laptop with Windows XP prof. I do the BT connection in the builtin "Bluetooth manager" in WinXP and the GPS receiver is getting the virtual COM-port nr 16. The problem is that the software (Fugawi ver 3.1) which should connect to the GPS receiver can not handle COM-ports higher then 10. Is there a way to change the nr of the COM-port for this BT device ? Anyone? Thanks in advance. Best regards Martin Rådbo Teknologia

Hello all, a quick question..... I really like the new preview pane in explorer, but there is one MAJOR problem with it - *ease of use* i dont want to leave it on all the time, and only to have it when i want it. But to get it on takes a full three mouse actions... WAY too much, then to turn it off again, aNOTHER three... for a total of 6! Is there any kind of keyboard shortcut to toggle the preview pane on and off?? CTRL-W or something like that? and while were at it, how about toggling the Folders pane? This used to be one toolbar button click, now, its the same six mouse actions! Not exactly congruent with the "smoother user experience" that …

I tried (90 day free trial) the "Windows One Care" program and while I was using it I backed up some date with it. I have since Removed the application from my PC using the Add/Remove in Control Panel. Now it will NOT let me delete the back up folder from my HD, "Access is Denied". Using XP Pro w/SP2 and windows automatic updates turned ON. Is there any way to remove this directory? Thanks in advance for any help. Jim

I cannot add a new computer to our domain as I get the message the domain has exceeded the max # of computers. Now, several older computers listed no longer exist. However, I'm unsure if we have totally eliminated them. Is there any program I can run to get the last time these computers logged in. If I delete an active computer by mistake, it causes lots of problems. I hope windows 2003 does a better job of managing it's computers. -- Thanks, Todd

Hello. My computer immediately wakes from sleep, but only does this while I have the Microsoft IR receiver plugged into a USB jack. I have verified this to be the cause through powercfg commands and the event viewer. In device manager, the USB root hubs are not set to wakeup (strange too that that option is grayed out for these devices). My computer also has a sleep TargetState of 4, but wakes from an EffectiveState of 5. Anyone have any ideas for these problems? Thanks. ASUS M2NPV-VM ACPI is enabled in BIOS AMD 64 X2 4600+ 2 GB RAM

Before I start my new problem, I would like to ask DELL-Bill B to read by previous problem "Re: XPS 710 Does not always wake up from sleep " I answered him thanking him for solving my problems. Now for a different problem: This morning when I turned on my computer, the screen that shows Microsoft Corporation came up with the Microsoft Corporation name very light that you could hardly see it. The green/yellow lights that usually crawl across as it is booting up do not appear and the screen just sits there doing nothing. I then turned the machine off. When I turned it back on, I get the screen that asks, do you want safe mode, last good configuration, nor…

Faxing on my Windows 2003 server has been working fine for a couple of years. All of a sudden I try to fax from my workstation and I get the message that the fax is blocked and the wizard quits. This happened out of the blue. When I start the FAX SERVICE MANAGER iget an error "Failed to load coverpage node" When I do the properties in the service manager I cannot uncheck the 3 disable checkboxes on the general tab. I get "Unexpected Error" when I uncheck them and click APPLY. HELP -- Thanks, Uwe
