    Server 2008 and Save As problem

    I think I figured out what's going on. Our network contains a number of mapped shares including a share on Server 2008. When that server is powered down for the weekend and a user on the network attempts to Save or Save As to another share, Windows searches for the missing share and times out...

    Server 2008 and Save As problem

    I've recently added a Windows Server 2008 server to our small business network. Some of the client machines have begun experiencing problems with Save As if the Server 08 is powered down. Has anyone run into this problem before? Knock and the door will be opened to you; Seek and you will find...

    Dash arguments are invalid error mssg

    Has anyone run into a "Dash arguments are invalid" error message and were you ever to solve the problem? I created a PDF file in Illustrator CS3, printed it, and saved to my local drive. I can open the file in Acrobat8 and see the contents but can't make changes or re-prints because the page...

    How can I test a power supply?

    I'm rebuilding a PC that originally died due to excessive heat build-up. I've replaced both the chip and mobo. When I hit the power switch, power comes on, I can hear the HD spinning, the system seeks the keyboard, HD, CDR, and floppy but nothing appears on the monitor and no booting occurs. No...

    File Manager Hesitation

    Within the past few weeks, I've noticed a new, annoying behavior on my system. Regardless of the program, whenever I attempt to access a file location on my local machine or network, Windows "hesitates" for many, many, many seconds before reporting back the directory and contents. On frequent...

    Fonts print differently than they appear on screen

    I have a drawing set up that includes text boxes, Everything looks OK on the screen but when I send it to the printer, the font is incorrect and thus the words don't appear properly. It acts like days of old where older printers couldn't reproduce newer scaled fonts so the words appeared as a...

    XP Stutters

    Within an hour after I launch my office XP machine, the cursor begins to stutter. I checked the Task Manager Performance and found the processor cycles up and down between 40% and 100%. I've found that if I log off and log back on, the problem goes away for awhile, and then returns. My XP is up...

    Outlook receives 2 copies of mail

    This past weekend, I set up Outlook to share netfolders with my wife's computer in her upstairs office. Now, whenever I receive a piece of mail, I receive two copies on my machine downstairs. I've checked and I don't have the SMTP accounts doubled on either machine. Any ideas what I have done...

    Installer running constantly

    I've keyword searched on my problem but nothing matches my symptoms. In Win2k, whenever I launch IE, Win Installer pops up and flickers and then vanishes. I can never figure out what it's trying to install. I suspect a recent un-install didn't totally clear out the program but I can't figure out...

    network property sheets already open—NOT!

    I tried the utility suggested by bcastner, but it didn't solve this specific issue. Thank you for the suggestion, though. FYI: I did solve this problem. First, I had to go into Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Component Services>Services(Local) and Turn off the Network Connections. This...

    network property sheets already open—NOT!

    I've hosed my network settings. When I go to Network Neighborhood, RtClk to Properties, and RtClk Local Connection, I get a message "Network property sheets are already open. Close them and re-open Network Properties to make changes." The settings are greyed out/locked and I can't make any...

    Speakers clicking every 60 seconds

    Tom, If my suggestion here insults your knowledge, please forgive me. [ponder] Go back into your Control Panel>Sounds & Multimedia>Sounds tab and select one of the functions that has little speaker on the left side. Click the solid-black arrow to the right of the sound description (ie Utopia...

    Speakers clicking every 60 seconds

    I believe the click, which happens every sixty seconds is telling you that your machine has refreshed the browser or the screen or some process. Go into your Control Panel>Sounds and Multimedia and examine any of the processes that use the Click sound. I'll bet it's one of them. Remove the sound...

    Restore when GHOST won't clone

    I SOLVED IT! Thanks to Moonspell's suggestion, I researched Backing UP and Restoring the Registry and learned that I needed to BU the System State on the bad HD (which still works but is no longer trustworthy) and Restore the System State on the good HD. Once that was completed, the user...

    Restore when GHOST won't clone

    Moon, I did not specifically BU the registry because I thought it would be included when I BU the entire contents of the bad drive. I can still launch the bad drive, so tonight I'm going to specifically BU the Registry and Restore it on the good drive and see what happens. In my research I read...
