    I know this is probably off topic. I am thinking of getting one of those devices that plug into a USB socket and let you receive digital freeview tv. Can anyone recommend which make and model I should I get? I have media center on a Vista home premium pc and live in the UK. Thanks, Jake

    Die Installation von SP 4 wurde als erfolgreich gemeldet. Bei der Suche nach neuen Updates wird gemeldet, auf dieser Site ist ein Fehler aufgetreten mit dem Angebot, nach Lösungen zu suchen. Bei der manuellen Suche wird unter SP4 ein roter Punkt gezeigt. Beim Anklicken wird nur ein Fenster mit Überschrift ohne Inhalt angezeigt. Es wird empfohlen neu zu installieren, was ich durchführte. Danach kommen wieder die gleichen Fehlermeldungen.

    We have purchased a Lenovo laptop with built in OS of "Windows Vista Home Basic". Now, we want to disable the CD burning facility. There is no gpedit or secpol in "Windows Vista Home Basic" therefore, suggest me how to disable the inbuilt CD/DVD burning facility. IMAPI is no longer working as a service also (therefore I could not disable it in Services). I have already uninstalled all the third party CD burning softwares. -- SS

    Hey guys.. Want to confirm from the Vista clan that Chessmaster support statement is correct.. What do you guys think? -------------------------------------------- Posted Wed July 09 2008 07:59 I am running Vista Ultimate with directx 10. My video card is compliant with and supports directx 10 as does my sound card. Do I have to install the directx 9.0c that comes with Chessmaster 11 in order to get it to run? So far I have not been able to get it to run on my machine. I did not install directx 9.0c. I was afraid that this would screw up my directx 10 installation.

    Hello! If UPS WorldShip is installed as a "LAN Administrative Workstation" on XP Pro and has "Remote Workstations" enabled, then other XP workstations installed as "LAN Remote Workstations" can access the LAN Admin station's UPS database. What I want to do is have the 2000 TS be one of the LAN Remote stations. While UPS claims installing it as a LAN Remote station on a terminal server is officially unsupported and has no documents on it, they told me that some people have successfully installed it as a client on a terminal server. So, is anyone out there knowledgeable about how to have the 2000 TS be one of the LAN Remote stations, and especially, …

    Hi, we are setting up a new office. with around 20 clients and one server. We chose windows server 2003 standard edition R2 on a dell 3ghz/ 4gb. Planning to use it as a file-server for CAD files and an application (ufida). What is the suggested setup when the objective is to not allow local saving of files, but rather keep the files on the server and have the clients access them over the Lan? Best Practices? Thank you!

    I am currently running XP home edition sp2 but when I download certain programs like IE 8, ITunes, etc...the software program terminates installation and tells me that the program is not compatible with my OS. Some of these programs report that I am using Windows 2000, which I am not. When I check my OS version on my computer it says I am using XP which was installed when I bought the computer. Any suggestions as to why this is happening? How do I fix it? Thank-you!

When I am in a hotel which has a wireless network, although my laptop can "see" the network as an available wireless network, i am unable to access the internet.

Please contact Microsoft Product Support Services for further help. Additional information: unknown media status code."
