Windows Upate Fails on Windows Server 2003
by Guest Mike Schumann- 0 replies
- 392 views
When I try to run Microsoft Update on my Windows Server 2003 system, I get a "Checking for Lastest Version of Windows Updating Software......" page. IE gives me a warning that the site might require the "Windows Update" Active X control. I click on the warning to permit installation of the active X control. That just brings me right back to the same "Checking for Latest Version....." page, asking me to OK the active X control again. HELP!!!! -- Mike Schumann

Import Into Windows Mail
by Guest Rick Raisley- 0 replies
- 254 views
In trying to fix up my completely screwed Windows Mail install, I've tried Exporting, then Reimporting messages. I can't seem to import a nice, clean copy of the messages and directory structure it only wants to import a complete Export. Which has dozens of Recovered folders and IMHO is severely messed up. I have successfully been able to simply drag the EML files to a WM folder. If I create all new folders, then manually drag the 25,000 emails from the appropriate folder, will WM reconstruct things properly? Will this get rid of the Recovered folders (if I also delete them), or will it put this all into NEW recovered folders. Basically, can anyone j…

When scrolling through lists, the highlight bar is a very faint blue. Tried changing it at Appearance Settings > Advanced > Selected Items. This seems to work in Explorer, but not in Control Panel > Add/Remove programs. Is there some other setting I should change?

PCMCIA Cards being ID'd as MDT-0002
by Guest Bob M.- 0 replies
- 101 views
I have a Dell Latitude c840 laptop that I have been trying to get several different PCMCIA cards to be recognized and installed properly. It is a p4 1.6 ghz with 2 gbyte ram running XP Pro sp2. One is an Orinoco Silver wifi card, and the other an RS232 serial port card. In each case, the system identifies them as an MDT-0002. It did the same thing with a D-Link DFE-650 ethernet card. Also, when I inserted a 3Com 3CXM556 modem, the system called it an MDT-0000 and said it was a generic PCMCIA memory card. No matter what kind of PCMCIA device I put in, the computer won't recognize it for what it really is. System Information indicates this has TI PCI-4551 Car…

BUGCODE_USB_DRIVER on tethered SmartPhone.
by Guest Bret- 0 replies

Hi, I configured an accociate's Dell Inspiron 1501 laptop with the intent on connecting a Cingular SmartPhone 2125 (Windows Mobile 5) via the phone's native "Modem Link" software (aka "tethering via USB cable"). Basically, you create a "Dial-Up" connectoid in XP with a special phone number, start the Modem Link software on the phone, and then make the "Dial-Up" connectoid "dial" the phone. You then have access from the laptop to the internet via the phone's EDGE service. Before the Dell, they successfully used Modem Link on an old AMD K6 300 NEC laptop. The new Dell is running XP Pro SP2 (ie. a bare XP SP2 installation with only critical updates installed: n…

I was reading the latest issue of Mac|Life tonight [i liked it better as Mac Addict, btw], and it struck me how dependent Apple is on Microsoft. For all the cool things that come with Mac hardware and OS X, a large swath of the Mac user population would be crippled or wiped out if Microsoft decided to stop supporting Office for Mac. The Mac faithful (of which I am part) won't like to hear this, but it's true. OpenOffice is an excellent program (It actually is now - three years ago it was rubbish), but many of us simply couldn't use it "in production." Sure, I could run Office for Windows in Parallels' coherence mode (and almost certainly would), but that's an unne…

Wireless 3000 keyboard problem on Word 2003
by Guest Alex- 0 replies

Hi there, I'm having a similar problem as it is posted here: http://thesource.ofallevil.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.mshardware.product&tid=513e455a-466d-43da-9f7a-4ed0c7bbff8d&cat=en_US_a8bc369a-5b15-4bb0-a772-f459abd462b1&lang=en&cr=US&sloc=en-us&m=1&p=1 However. I have no website in my restricted zone, and have even changed some of the setting for that zone, but nothing seems to work. Most of the times, whenever I open Word, I will get a pop-up from my wireless keyboard stating that signal is LOW and then it becomes really difficult to type. Can anybody help? Thanks!

I'm running Vista Ultimate. I can't get windows update to work! I also can't get windows defender to work either. All that happens is they both supposedly start checking for updates and the bar just scrolls and scrolls never reaching any updates to download. I normally would finish in about a few minutes. I restored my machine back to before the last update that successfuly installed (6/20/07) and I still have the problem. Can anyone suggest what I should do to fix this problem as I don't want to miss any critical updates? I was going to reinstall Vista Ultimate as a last resort, but when I even did that, and it asked if I wanted to search for u…

Vroeger heb ik na de fotovakschool fotografie te hebben gedaan voor hobby, op vakfotografie nivo . Ook opleidig fotolaborant . Weinig digitaal gedaan, ik zou daar veel meer van willen weten, en door de kenns van anelog fotografie, over kunnen begrijpen, wat en waarom, en waardoor er gebeurt, er iets wel of niet gebeurt, wat je zou wilen, of wensen dat er gebuurt . Als ik zeg dat bij een lichtmeting, met een soort beter, bepaalde kleuren, een andere uitslag geven, die daar door een overbelichtong of een onderbelichting kan voortbregen !
