Here is an example of the XML input file I will receive: Note: The example is fictious but illustrates the point Note: The flat structure is something I can't change Note: Hopefully not too many typos since I am making this up <OrderData> <Vendor> <ID>1</ID> <Name>Vendor X</Name> </Vendor>...

Someone here recommended trying setting the network card Link to AutoDetect rather than 100/full. Problem Solved! But ... it was set to 100/full because on a machine I had before the card was not detecting the network properly and folding back to 10MBit. Darned if you do, darned if you don't.

I got a new work laptop (HP EliteBook). I have gotten everything setup and loaded but noticed yesterday when I was copying a large file from the network that the network speed was pathetic. I did an Internet Speed Test to confirm and using the same network cable I got 40MBit download for my...

I considered calling Dell to get a new OEM CD as an option but that would have taken more time that I had. I guess I could always call Dell to see; but, I should know by early next week if our new pastor (who the laptop belongs to) can find the OEM CD at his house in PA.

I contacted Microsoft. The said I have to have the OEM Disk.

I have a retail CD and key that match (from MSDN). So does it also check the key on the hard drive so I need a 3-way match. If that is the case, is there any way to kill/change the key on the hard drive so I can get past this? I can boot Knoppix to make simple changes.

HELP!!!! I am trying to do an XP repair install to resolve a corrupt OS that was hit by a nasty Trojan/virus that triggered Norton to remove several key OS components (userinit.exe, exporer.exe, ...). The original OS was Windows Media Center Edition (WMCE) 2005. I did not have the OEM disk but...

I already have seperate docked and undocked profiles. The problem sometimes happens when go home and come back the next day (power off, close case, undock, ... dock, open case, power on).

I have a Dell M70 laptop attached to a docking port with an external monitor setup for DualView (spanning my desktop over the two displays). The laptop display is set for 1920x1200 (native) and the monitor is set for 1600x1200. This works fine but when I re-dock my laptop in the morning or...

Thanks All (especially linney)! [medal] That was SO EASY! (once I know where to go). Tek-tips has been a great resource to me. As much as I try to be an expert on everything I need to do, "everything" seems to be getting bigger at a stratospheric rate. Well if you every have a problem with...

I have a new laptop that I use to access domain resources but is not attached to the domain. I do have an account on the domain (and my other laptop is joined to it). When I mapped the drives (and printers) on my new laptop I typed in the account name and password and told it to remember it...

Bill, First, regarding "Shared Account between work and home =gdqk7b4". If your work PC is on a Domain I would recommend against setting up an account on your home PC with that same name. I know that sounds like the right thing to do, but I have had problems with getting that to work. It...

P.S. The machine is XP Home

I am repairing a friend's computer that has virus/adware problems and was having NTFS access rights issues deleting some of the infected files so I thought I would make sure that Adminstrator had acccess to all the files. So, I went to the command prompt and types "CACLS C:\*.* /T /C /G...

Bill, Your IP config seems fine. Good to hear you are pinging now. Couple of questions/notes: I have had password sync problems if you are trying to access a PC outside your domain if that PC has an account with the same name as you are logged in on the pc that is in a domain. I.E. your...
