All I've been tasked with eliminating a minor but highly visible and annoying issue. About 2 weeks ago, administrative assistants for various VIPs at my company started getting bounce messages as shown below. Jack Frost was a test account from 5 years ago and has since been deleted. I need...

Hi folks Got a hard drive that's new to me, 200GB in size. It's over the usual 131GB limit without using the 48-bit LBA so I'm trying to do the legwork to put that into place. The system has an ASUS A7N MB with the latest final BIOS and an integrated Promise Ultra100 ATA controller 2.01...

Hi folks, I'd had to reinstall windows over itself and have ended up with two problems. I've had to do this in the past on someone else's system and had no issues but can't remember what I did differently. :( Anyhow here's the scoop. 1) I have an information store issue. In the folder...

All I've got a HP Omnibook XE3 GC laptop (800MHz) that is cardbus functional using a Linksys WPC54G card with a WRK54G wireless router. I've had a number of issues with this setup and finally, after reading dozens of posts on here and following their advice, seem to have something decently...

Hi all Something I've noticed is a fairly constant thing in standalone Outlook (not used with Exchange) is that when you go to properties and check 'folder size' for Outlook Today, the folder size is a lot smaller than the actual PST file in the directory. This is even after a compression...

Hi all Was sharing a brew with a friend last night and he told me of a problem that he had been asked to check out for another friend of his that had him stumped. It seems that a three page Word document (the guy's resume) will always print page one but pages two and three always come up...

I've got a small network running at home and I've never tried to do this particular thing and haven't really seen anything on if it's possible or how to do it. Right now, I have a single machine using WinXP Pro plugged into the cable modem with a second NIC going to a hub and ICS to handle a...

All Rebuilding a aystem and after doing the MS DOS portion of Win2000 Advanced server, it goes and copies the files for the windows phase and then does the reboot before the auto-configure phase but after that, it constantly reboots. It's a P3-866 with a minimal config, video card only with...

Hello I've got a friend whose laptop keyboard has the w, e, r and u, i, o keys usually non-functional. Sometimes they work, usually not. The symmetry of the keys strikes me as unusual. Are there any known issues with this? What are some things she can do to try to remedy it? I've never...

Apologies if this is the wrong forum, but it's the best I could find. I have an old Alpha I'm trying to get going. My Unix/Linux knowledge is pretty rusty, part of the reason I'm doing this project. I have RedHat's 7.2 for Alpha, 4 CDs plus the Docs CD but no floppies with them. I have a...

Happy Holidays all. :) Previously this week I posted a thread about my WinXP system deciding to kinda give up the ghost and since that time, the hard drive has been making some 'interesting' noises. I've gotten my OS installed again on another, much smaller, drive and I am trying to get access...

Was having a minor issue this afternoon that has gotten out of hand in a huge fashion. Now I don't have a functioning computer at all and need a hand. I had tried to do a SP reinstall and then a Repair Installation to fix the issue. That's when my fun started. The repair aborted partially...

Hi folks Major headache rebuilding a system for someone. It's a very old Packard Bell that I'm attempting to make more stable by avoiding the image that came with it. Unfortunately, one of the things that was built into that image was Quicken 98. The owner of the system has since bought a...

Hi Friend of mine has indicated that she is looking for a way to read what she describes DC2000 tapes. Given that I can't find anything online regarding this, it might an old format or she has the name wrong. I've asked for clarification from her but while I'm waiting for that, does anyone...

I'm working on something for a friend, so I don't have Outlook 2000 in front of me, but in Outlook XP you can do bullets and fonts when creating a meeting. However, when I invite myself for a test meeting, the announcement arrives in plain text, same thing if I invite a friend. So my question...

Hi I have some friends for whom I'm 'their IT person'. They have a DSL connection that is set up on their desktop with WinPoet dialing up the DSL connection as needed. Everything works just fine, no issues. They've just bought a laptop with wireless capabilities as well as 10/100 and want me...
