Hi, I've encountered an odd issue I've never seen before, and I'm hoping that someone here has a solution... This issue is that when clicking directly on files (ie Word, Excel, PDF) from explorer or the desktop it hour-glasses for 45 seconds to a minute before starting to open the file. If I...

The exchange information is already in there, and it is correct. The names are underlined and everything. What occurs is that we have to retype the exact same exchange server name in the available space (over top of the one that's already there), and then it works fine. Very strange. Her...

Hi, I've encountered a very wierd issue with Outlook 2000 on a Windows 2000 machine. Every time the user reboots, and goes into Outlook, she receives an error saying that she doesn't have permission to access her Inbox. If you look at the exchange server properties, they are all correct, and...

Thanks. It feels good to have it done. I felt bad for the guy beside me. I noticed when I signed out that he was there for the same XP exam. He had started 1/2 an hour before me, and was still in there when I left. He seemed to be getting pretty frustrated. Hopefully he passed...

Hi, I just finished the 70-270, and want to keep rolling while I'm in the studying frame of mind. I'm planning on going for the MCSA-2003, and already have CompTIA certs to cover the elective, so all I need is 290, and 291. Is there a logical order to do these in? Should 290 go before 291...

How was the Security+ exam? Comparible to N+ and A+ or more like a M$ Exam? I personally found the Security+ to be more difficult than the A+ and N+ exams. Perhaps because alot more of it was stuff I had to learn and memorize, as opposed to N+ and A+ which I use every day. Very interesting...

Well, I passed!! I got a 968. I'm not sure what it's out of, but a 700 is a pass so it works for me. Now time to move onto 70-290... Thanks for the tips and advice from everyone here. Paul

Thanks for the information. This is my first time through the TestKing practice exams, so it's not memorization. The only thing that I'm finding is that there are some syntax questions which are kind of a BS way of making it harder. Some of the questions are also a little ambiguous, where...

Hi, I'm scheduled to take the 70-270 exam tomorrow morning. I've done a number of the Comptia exams, but never a Microsoft exam. Here's where I'm at... I've read the Sybex XP-Pro book, and reread parts I had trouble with. I've seen the CBT Nuggets videos. I've been through most of the...

Thanks for the info Joe. If you get a chance, what do you think of this one? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00009W40E/qid=1138739368/sr=8-3/ref=pd_bbs_3/103-4604019-0338250?n=507846&s=electronics&v=glance It seems alot less expensive than most. Will it still do what you say I need? I...

Hi, I was just wondering if a UPS will work as a good line conditioner. We recently moved, and since the move, our Plasma TV is receiving interference from somewhere. There are pink and green lines that move up the screen. Sometimes it's bad, and sometimes not, so it seems to be related to...

Hi, I've got a 2507 router that I was using to study for my CCNA. The other day, it kind of froze up, so I powered it off and back on. At that time, I received the following message: Exception: Line 1111 Emulator at 0x110ED72 (PC) I've tried different things to get it to boot, and the only...

here is a link to my previous thread if you need more info... http://tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=978156&page=1

I just went through the same thing. I bought some memory from E-Bay. I was able to get 8mb flash for under $20. There were 2 flash slots in mine, so you could probably use 2 8mb flash units to get 16mb. I got 16mb RAM on the same order for under $10. Once I installed it, I received a...

Again, thanks for the information. I ordered a new Boot ROM for it last night on E-Bay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=28033&item=5744480052&rd=1 Hopefully this will fix the problem, and I'll be on my way. In case anyone else runs into this problem, E-bay is the way...
