How was this post helpful? The collector stores the log in a cabinet file (.CAB). Uncompressed it is in .XML format, but your post adds nothing to help me figure out why there are no CAB files from the collector.exe process.

Before you run the SP2 Microsoft Application Compatibility Analyzer, you must run the collector.exe which creates a log file. When I run collector.exe, it seems to be collecting the information, but there is no log file. By default, the log file is a .CAB file and should be on my desktop, but...

I am seeing unknown download traffic in DUMeter. It is usually around 15kbps and is constant. I don't know how to find out what is causing this. I've run AdAware and nothing suspicious shows up there. I've also run Security Task Manager. There is nothing suspicious using the CPU. Windows...

Belarc is good for after the fact. What I am looking for is software which would pop up whenever new software is installed. It would ask for pertinent details such as software keys, location of install files (i.e., CD, URL, etc) and other things. In other words, it would force you to do organize...

An Excel spreadsheet! What a brilliant idea! Twenty years on computers, and I couldn't have thought of that by myself.

The next time I rebuild my system I would like to have some software that keeps track of the software I am installing. I would like it to prompt for extra information such as key codes, where I got the software and where I am storing the installation files. The only things I can find are...

One other thing, you can't disable the 801.1x authentication of the wireless network. I am using WPA-PSK, and the check mark for the 801.1x authentication is grayed out. The other things about the wireless setup I was already doing. Since this is affecting the wired clients, too, the problem...

Thanks I will check that. Is the 'enable IEEE 802.1x authentication' a problem for the PC's connected via hard wiring? I see that it is enabled on those, too. As far as my wireless settings are concerned, they exceed what you mentioned. Wouldn't the 'enable IEEE 802.1x authentication' you...

I really was hoping not to have to set up accounts on each machine because I have autologon enabled. At least one the XP Home machine, I can create a Network Place, and connect to it even though I can't see it in the workgroup. What I don't understand is why after 15 minutes or so I am no...

I don't think it is silly because I had already done that.

When I first boot, I can create a Network Place to a XP home machine in my workgroup, but after a few minutes I am unable to open the share. I get the message "you might not have permission to access this network resource". I have workgroup (named MSHOME) with two XP Pro PC's and one XP Home...

Bcastner, You're ignoring the fact that all the PC's connected to the wired ports on router 2 get an IP and are able to connect to the Internet. Using an uplink port (which I've already tried) would not make the wireless port work on Router 2. The IP assignments are as you said.

I have tried that. As stated, PC's connected to the wired ports on Router 2 (the wired/wireless router) work properly. One thing else I've noticed, on the DHCP clients table on Router 1 (the DHCP server), the laptop shows an IP assigned to it. That means the laptop is requesting an IP, an IP is...

I cannot get the laptop on a wireless connection to get an IP or to connect to the Internet in the following scenario. Router 1-Linksys 4-port wired router connected to cable modem. DHCP Server, 192.168.0.1 Router 2-Netgear 4-port wired/wireless router. DHCP server OFF; 192.168.0.99 All PC's...

I have scanned for viruses with two AV programs, and I have scanned with AdAware. When I put my system in Standby, it only stays in Standby for about a minute, and then it comes out of standby but leaves the monitor dark. Norbert
