Hello, I am having a problem with my CD-ROM inside Virtual PC 2004 whenever the host OS is a regular user. If I am administrator in the host OS, then everything is fine, but if I am a regular user, then the CD-ROM in VPC malfunctions. For one IBM ThinkPad T30 laptop, I have English W2K as the...

Hello, I have a few IBM ThinkPad T41's and T42's deployed with Virtual PC, and they work fine for a few days. After that, they would get a blue screen upon boot up with the message "STOP: c0000221 {Bad Image Checksum} The image COMCTL32.DLL is possibly corrupt. The header checksum does not...

Hi guys, Does it make any sense to run checkdisk and defrag inside the guest OS, or should we only run these utilities in the host OS? I'm not sure if the guest OS would have access to the physical disk outside of its allocated space, so I'm wondering what happens if you run checkdisk or defrag...

For some reason, I have a command file on CD that reads fine as plain text in the host operating system, but in the guest operating system I would open it and only see junk characters. In the guest operating system, if I copy the file from the CD to a local drive, it would still be junk...

Does anyone know if it is possible to script a change in the BIOS? I'm looking for a way to disable the SpeedStep technology automatically. I'm running Windows 2000 on an IBM ThinkPad T23, BIOS version 1.18 (1AET62WW). Thanks, Ken

Hi, I am using Windows 2000 as the host as well as the guest OS. My display setting is currently set to "Allow any screen resolution". One problem I'm having is that when VPC boots up, it starts in full-screen at 640 x 480 resolution. I can change it to 1024 x 768, but when I restart VPC it...

Hi, In the guest OS of Virtual PC 2004, the mouse cursor turns white (invisible on a white background) in certain windows. This does not occur until I switch from full-screen to window mode, but it would persist even after I switch back to full-screen. I have updated my video driver and tried...

Hi, I was having problems printing in the guest O/S, and I found a solution by going into the BIOS of the host O/S and changing the parallel port's Base I/O Address from 3BC to 378. However, I was wondering if there is a way to keep the host O/S untouched, and change the BIOS of the guest O/S...

Hi, Does anyone know if there is a way to get to the BIOS of the guest operating system? In my host O/S, I press F1 during boot up and the BIOS settings load fine, but the same does not work for the guest O/S. Both host and guest O/S are running Windows 2000 Professional. Thanks, Kenneth

Hi, I have a strange problem with VPC. If I press Ctrl+Enter to toggle to the primary OS and then again to toggle back to Virtual PC, the guest OS behaves as if the Ctrl key was pressed down. To "unlock" this feature, I can press the Ctrl key again. Any idea what can cause this or how it can...

Hi, I'm currently having problems with printing inside VPC 2004. I am making a direct connection to a HP LaserJet 4M Plus, using Windows 2000 as the host as well as the client. The host automatically detects the printer and works just fine, but the client cannot detect the printer. I get the...

Hello, In MS Access, I was wondering if it is possible to save a query result as a table. For example, let's say I have a query SELECT T.A, T.B FROM tblAbc AS T WHERE T.A>T.B; I'd like to save this result as a new table and work with it (add new fields, calculate averages, etc.) Is that...

Hi, I'm looking for an efficient way of concatenating a column of cells, separated by commas. For example, to sum a block of cells I can type =SUM(B4:B9). Is there a comparable function that I can use to make a comma-delimited list? Thanks for your time. Kenneth

Hello, I was wondering if it is possible to design a query that can perform an aggregate function on text (compressing records into a comma-delimited list). I currently have a database with tables for lighting, sound, props, etc. (see http://www.perfec.com/drama/ERdiagram.gif) What I'd like...

I'm currently having a problem generating a unique ID because the field is text instead of number. I tried using the max function in my query: SELECT max(entityID) as maxID FROM Entity; but it would return 9999 as the max even though there are other records with ID 10012, 10023, etc. Can I...

Hello, I'm trying to run the latest version of FOP (0.20) on Tomcat 3.2, by following the instructions in http://xml.apache.org/fop/servlets.html When I run the servlet, I get the error java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/xml/sax/XMLReader at FopServlet.renderFO(Unknown Source) at...
