Problem Solved, It is a new system and had only been used for a couple of days. The issue turned out to be a simple one. The keyboard was the cause of the problem. Changing it fixed the problem. This issue didn't show in any other applications local or remote. Should have...

I have a strange issue affecting a remote desktop connection. One of the office users connects to the office XP Pro computer through Remote Desktop from a remote machine running XP Home. The connection works well but there is one unique problem. When he opens Outlook there is a “Save As” window...

Hello All, I am looking for a PC cleaning program to clean XP clients that could be put on a server so it could be accessed when needed. Currently there are 12 clients. I know of no products that I know of at this point that do that. In the past I used a product called WinCleaner and it...

Sorry about that. That was the chkdsk /r from recovery console. Been a long day.

One of our servers had a power outage and we had to recover a few dll's using recovery console using fskdsk. All seems well and the server is running but I cannot login using Remote Desktop or from the Console now. After putting in the right admin user and password it looks as if it's going to...

Hello There has been a file lost (pci.sys)on one of our servers. Using raid drivers I have logged into the recovery console but am unable to access the cdrom or the usb"floppy" drives to copy the file(s) needed. Is there anyone who can help me understand what the issue is. I suspect it...

I have restricted the users share on a 2003 server. I have disabled the users ability to delete files or folders. They can however open edit and save files. The problem is that when a user opens a document MS Office creates a ~temp file for each opening. This file is not deleted upon closing the...

I have run HiJackThis and will post the log file below. Perhaps someone can spot something there until I try the registry edit later. Logfile of HijackThis v1.99.1 Scan saved at 8:59:30 AM, on 7/25/2006 Platform: Windows XP SP2 (WinNT 5.01.2600) MSIE: Internet Explorer v6.00 SP2...

bcastner, Thanks for your reply. I will try the registry fix you have posted the link to above later when I can get access to the machine. I have one question about your post. I looked in IE for the "Use third-party browser extensions" button to uncheck but could not find it. I am using on...

We have been having a problem with one PC and now two laptops at the same office. The problem has the following symptoms. The browser “Internet Explorer” will not go to a URL that is typed into the address window. But it will load sites from “History”. Also the most troubling is that there is no...

Well I still have not found a solution. It seems that you cannot remove the drive letter if it contains page files. And I downloaded TweakUI and it works for the administrator, but does not hide it from a restricted user. I gues I will have to keep trying. It seems there is a regisrty edit that...

Thanks all I have had problems with setting the whole drive for virtual memory. I usually leave a portion of the drive unused. I forgot about TweakUI. Your right it's a great tool. I will try some of these when I get back to the machine tonight. And I plan on downloading TweakUI too. Thanks...
