Microsoft Support & Discussions

i have been working with nero techs on a problem- they sent me a tool to gather logs to send them [it called 'get support files' ]- when i try to execute that program i get an xp error msg--"....restricted by administrator policy...." MS site has no info on this msg---i can down load other things and execute them-- by the way my original problem is that nero recode goes through all the moves and then stops on a recode task telling me that "the parameter is incorrect--out of memory"- drives me crazy--i have good hardware-all are up to date- im no expert but have enough knowledge to troubleshoot most things --but this..... jthank you

If I am working on Autocad files, I have to be careful about how I move things or my drawing will lose the ability to find the other drawings on which it depends. I also have been known to mess up a file I've taken home from the network, therefore I am looking for a good way to do the following: 1. Take a folder from my network which has drawing and sub-folders in it - copy that folder to my local drive on the laptop to work on it over the weekend. This works OK now - copying an entire folder seems to preserve the relationship between files, so I keep all the needed drawings in sub-folders of the main folder for each project I'm working on. 2. On Monday m…

When I go to Make a calendar in media center I get Missing ID: Getting New Pix 1, Missing ID: Please wait etc. It seems there are a lot of ID's missing. Is there anyway to fix this. It seemed to happen after I installed my HP printer.

Hi, I'm starting to plan our disaster recovery plan for our 2000 and 2003 servers and beside backing up the System State and making a ERD disks for each servers, having daily backups of the data, what else should I consider? I thought about backing up the C:\ drive so that we don't have to re-install all the applications. (System state, Program Files / WINNT and any other required folders been backed up at the sames time.) Would that allow a full restoration of a server with this? Am I missing anything else? Then I can move on to planning each application and what's the longest we can go wthout it and how long to restore from scratch or to troubleshoot. …

Hi, When I try to access Microsoft update (Express option) using IE6 SP2, I get Error number: 0x80072EE2. I tried the steps that Microsoft outlined but they didn't work. This problem just started happening recently. Before it was working fine. How do I fix this? Thanx in advance

Hello, I am having a problem watching Big Brother past full episodes from the CBS web site on my notebook & desktop computer. I think it has to do with some kind of settings. I use to be able to watch them fine before I had a problem with my router on my notebook computer. When my notebook computer was connecting to the internet through a wireless connection the video worked great. But my desktop could not play them. The video will come up and start to buffer then play. It will only play a few seconds then the video stops and I get the message the video is buffering. It just keeps doing that every few seconds and makes it impossible to watch the vi…

When you initiate a Mastered DVD burn (by right click and Send to / DVD drive) a balloon appears in the notification area almost immediately. The text reads: "You have files waiting to be burned to disk. To see these files now, click this balloon". At this point you may have several more minutes to wait before all the files are collected for the burn, but if you click on the balloon and then click on "Burn to disk", the burn starts immediately with whatever files have been collected. I would suggest that the burn be delayed until all of the files selected in the "Send to" are collected. This would also allow the burn to be initiated without having…

Okay, this is an annoying problem. I built a new machine with an Intel Core2 Duo and Intel 965 board, 8gb ram, nvidia quadro fx560 and xp pro x64. Our company runs Solidworks, COSMOSWorks. The install was standard and I installed all the updates. The only thing I had a problem with is finding a functional audio driver which isn't a problem because this machine doesn't need audio to do what it was built to do. I got all the other drivers working just fine and just disabled the audio. I set it up on our domain and installed Solidworks Premium and COSMOSWorks. After it is all installed, I run the program and open up an assembly. It opens, WOW, super f…

Anyone tried Softricity with Citrix Published applications? I know it works well with full desktops, but what about published applications?

I have reformatted my c: drive and re-installed Windows XP Home. After the installation was finished, I tried to log on for the first time, but got this error message " you cannot log on for the domain NAME is not available" - or words to that effect, my system in not in English. Googling on the subject took me to a microsoft TechNote that talked about changing the security policy. Only, I cannot change anything, for I cannot log on, can't get in at all. Note: the owner of the computer used to be called OLDNAME. I now used NAME. I did not think changing the name would matter, as I reformatted the hd. Can someone help me to get into the system? Thanks. --…

I have a user with a Windows XP Pro (SP2+) laptop that is having a problem keeping a shared folder on an NT4 server mapped. It randomly disconnects. We can't seem to figure out a way to either get it to reconnect or permanently stay connected. When he tries to access the mapped drive, he either gets the message that the drive (Z:) is already in use or he gets a prompt to enter in his user credential (and then a subsequent message indicating that that user is already authenticated). We're in a Server 2003 environment and the customer is authenticating to the domain without any problem. He is mapping the network drive with the "reconnect at logon" option set.…

Fisrt off, thank you very much for your knowledge on this site. When I tried to do as the instructions in "turn windows Featueres on and off" I got another message that indicated "The service cannot accept control messages at this time" I am not sure, but while the computer shows me as Administrator and I am it's only user, it does not allow me to change some itmes that have the little "parental" or colored shield by them. Help would be greatly appreciated. JRTEXAN

Can anyone tell me how I prevent the large, semi-transparent icon that shows when I drag a file or folder using the Windows Vista theme. I find it irritating and of no value. Just the name will do fine - the same as you get when using Windows Classic. I'm running Vist Home Premium TIA Ed
