Repeat keys stop working on Virtual PC
by Guest Christopher W. Douglas- 0 replies
- 151 views
I am running Virtual PC 2007 (6.0) on a Windows XP host. My virtual boxes are all Windows Server 2003. Every so often, my repeat keys stop working. For example, normally in windows if you hold down any key (space bar, x, whatever) for half a second the key starts repeating. In ALL of my virtual boxes, the repeat key doesn't work. Restarting a single virtual instance doesn't help. The only thing that seems to work is rebooting the host, which is a real pain as I am running Domain Controllers, etc. on all the virtual boxes. Is there a fix out there for this? Google was not my friend on this issue. UPDATE: I rebooted the host machine over the weekend and the repeat key wor…

I have a brand new HP pavilion HPE (model h8-1150UK) I7-core, 6Gb ram, 2Tb hard-drive etc. The first thing I did was to install all the Windows updates to Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 Trying to install Office Professional Plus 2011 from original DVDs using the standard option (no customisation of the install set). The installation appears to go well for the first 5 mins and then freezes with no error codes. I left it for more than 5 hours yesterday and it stayed in this condition frozen with the progress bar about 2/3 the way along. I have followed a discussion on the MS website to remove all trace of the previous installs using (support.microsoft.com/kb/290301) …

PST with USMT
by Guest Edy Werder- 0 replies
- 94 views
Dear All, I've done a user profile migration from XP to Win 7. However I'm a bit puzzled since I do understand that by default USMT does only transfer PST when attached to the Outlook profile. In my case no PSTs were attached, but during the scanstate process, USMT attempts to migrate PST from a network drive, which the user has mapped. I have no idea, why USMT is doing that. I could see it in the scanstate.log. I have converted other users with the same map drive for PSTs and they were not copied. Any idea? I even converted a user, where the profile is on the same computer. In addition I'm not sure, what version of USMT I'm using. Is there a way to check? the scanstat…

My customer uses a Toshiba Laptop (Portege R700)running Windows 7 32 bit. RANDOMLY the Laptop hangs after trying to go into hybernate mode. The Laptop then has to be cold rebooted in order to work again. This unpleasant because open documents are not saved and the work is lost. The same Laptop hangs when trying to install SP1. It will download it, but at installation after some 5 minutes it just stops. The Laptop has to be restarted in save mode to make it work again. I post both issues in one thread because both issues might be based on the same porblem. Continue reading...

Hi! I too have the Blue Death Screen. I can recall downloading SP3 from somewhere and I dont think it was from MS ???. I also deleted a virus program CA Security Suite which was not showing in Control Panel, so I deleted it from the Program files in order to intall a fresh copy of the virus program and since then everything went haywire. Prior to all this I was attempting to view some videos on You Tube and each time I attempted to view, the computer would shut down and restart. On checking the hardware/Device Manager I found that there were two Network adapters installed of the same description. So I deleted the last one as it may have come from an Update. Things w…
