I am able to use FTP via IE 7 to download file. However, when I attempt to type ftp://ServerName in My Computer, I am able to upload file. On the other hand, when I attempt to download file, the folder does downloaded (with subdirectory) but not any files in the folder. I have tried to drag and drop, copy and paste but still not successful. The only change since it happens is I run Windows Update this Tuesday. Your advice is sought. Peter

Since I got the latest windows update, when right clicking items in the taskbar to get the context menu (and also some other context menus), the menu is completely invisible until I roll my over items in the menu, at which point they reappear. Everything was fine until my machine rebooted after receiving the latest update. (July 11th update) HELP! I'm going to have to roll back and swicth off auto updates if there sin't a fix for this.

Hi, I recently had to force windows update agent back on and i also had to reinstall KB927891 so I could see the download sizes thats okay now but when I download updates it says It will take over 2 hours I have never had this happen to me on my ADSL Connection before i was getting less than 1 hour for the download but not now It should never say over 2 hours on a ADSL Connection now should it??

I usually split up services as much as possible but now the servers are getting more powerfull than strictly necessary for the job to do so I was thinking of using the file server as web server also, more specific as a sharepoint services server is this a smart thing to do or not? the service is strictly for LAN only so not exposed to the big bad internet it is a quad core Xeon with 4GB ram and windows 2003 standard 64 bit OS this for about 150 users in total thnx

scenario: 19" widescreen monitor 4 port ps/2 kvm switch 1 comp duel boot kubuntu/windows xp problem: when windows loads up, it doesnt detect the monitor, im presuming this is because of the kvm switch, and will not go greater then 1386x800(or something similar). i need it to be able to tell it to use 1440 instead, no matter what windows thinks. i know that i am able to use 1440x900 through the kvm because kubuntu is working with it fine. i have tried installing the drivers 4 the monitor but it wont auto detect the correct driver, and forcing it to use the correct drivers only allows the 1386 resolution stated above. unplugging the kvm and plugging the monito…

Hello, previously I had set up a FRS replication but after upgrading the servers to Win 2003 R2 I deleted the previous FRS namespace and targets in order to create a new DFRS replication scheme from scratch. The problem is that I cannot enable the DFRS replication as I end up with the following suggestion: "Fix this problem by not overlapping this replicated folder with an FRS replica set. That is, do not replicate the same local path using DFS Replication and FRS." In other words the previous FRS replication stills seems to be in the system but I did delete it from the DFS console so how am I supposed to really get rid of the remaning FRS settings?

Hello, I recently implemented SRPs in my Windows network, thoroughly testing many things before deployment. So, after deploying SRPs everything works fine: allowed programs start, disallowed programs don't. However, I have problem with Symantec AntiVirus 10.x clients - they appear like their Auto Protect is disabled (SAV yellow shield icon is in red circle), but SAV client software itself is running, i.e. I see yellow shield icon in the task tray, I can double click it, SAV client opens, I can run scans etc etc. Before deploying SRPs SAV worked fine without trouble. SRPs config is set to default, appart from that I am exclusively allowing to run all progra…

It worked on me, I am running Windows Vista Home Premium, first I deleted as much as I could in SOftwareDistribution folder, then I got error 80070003 and then Windows Help Files walked me easily on solving this, by stoping Windows Update services and deleting content on two specific folders.

Dear Moderator/Members I have an XP Professional with SP2, P-IV 3.0 GhZ, 256 MB RAM, 80 GB HDD PC. I am trying to add Microsoft Lifewebcam 1.0 Hardware to this pc. As per the instructions & Software CD-Rom provided with the cam, I have installed CAM Software 1st. In the process of installation it gave a message to connect the cam to USB Port. I did the same. Then it started searching for drivers for the cam. I have shown the cd-rom disk driver folder (VX600), it says that it is not the correct file. Later I shown the same CD disk VX3000 fodler, eventhen also it says the file is not the correct file. Then I downloaded the latest software from Micr…

I moved a php site from a unix server to a Windows 2003 Server. I installed PHP for Windows. I tried running the site and all I get is "No input file specified". Any thoughts? Can I get this site to work or is it a lost cause? Thanks!
