An I/O operation initiated by the registry failed unrecoverably...". This occured when logging in as Administrator and a temporary profile has been created. I am not unduely concerned about data loss since I can still access the files within \Documents and settings\Administrator but I am unsure...

We have set up a new 2003 server to run terminal services with all remote users logging into a domain based on our old NT server. All in all, it is working very nicely now and I need to look at restricting users in what they can see and do. I have found some Microsoft info on doing it, they all...

Please, please tell me I'm not completely sunk! I MOVED a directory from one W2K PC to another. However, the target PC (which has a backup unit on it and thus the point of the move) crashed partway through the move and I had to reboot. The directory had, however, disappeared from the original...

Please, please tell me I'm not completely sunk! I MOVED a directory from one W2K PC to another. However, the target PC (which has a backup unit on it and thus the point of the move) crashed halfway through the move and I had to reboot. I then decided that I needed to sort out why the PC crashed...

I have ADSL at home and a PC on a public IP address which acts as a web (Apache) and mail (Argosoft) server for a growing bunch of friends. Up till now, the computer has been protected by an old corporate version of McAfee VirusScan (v4.5.1) with VShield and it seems to work very well, deleting...

After some weeks of head scratching, I have just come back after spending my Sunday morning solving a slow network problem. Basically, I removed every patch cable and just had two in a hub - one from the server and one from a PC. I then posted an entry in a financial package on the PC, which...

Can anyone tell me why the Scheduled Tasks are shared? From a W2K PC, if you go to another W2K PC, you will always see the Printers folder, which is fine because Printer and File sharing is normally on, by why the Scheduled Tasks? And how can you turn if off if wanted?

I am trying to connect to a printer in a remote office via our VPN link, something that has never been a problem in the past. However, since some of the remote computers have been upgraded to XP Pro, and one has the printer I want, I get the "A policy is in effect on your computer which...

We have had a Deskjet 1220C (multi-function) running for some months now without a problem on a W2K PC. We tried to install a digital camera recently and although that worked, and continues to do so, the printer does not. We have tried uninstalling it etc. but no luck. The main problem is that...

We have an old NT system with Exchange 5.5 and for various reasons, mostly hardware, we are thinking of getting a new server with SBS 2003. Quite by coincidence, we have just had a major problem with our system sending out spam and we were cut off for 48 hours by our ISP. This has now been...

Questions, questions... My Cyber-shot digital camera can take images from 640x480 up to 2048x1536. If I take a range of pictures at 640x480, I get a range of jpeg files which vary in size from 37KB to 78KB. Why are the file sizes different, given the same camera and settings? If I open of my...

At just the same time that the MyDoom virus first came out a couple of weeks ago, we started getting more and more failed messages into the Administrators account and at its peak, we were getting over 30,000 a day. We are still getting 4-5,000 and I have run every bit of anti-virus software I...

Out of my camera comes a 2048x1536 1.4MB *.jpg image which I wish to reduce for use on a web site. (I could have set the camera to 800x600, but the point is the same and in many cases I am using old images.) If I insert this image into a web page, it is obviously huge, so I need to reduce it...

From the moment you install terminal services on 2003 Server, you have 120 days to install the licenses. Is there a way to find out how much time you have left, assuming you don't know when it was started?

I have a 13GB hard drive, but I need to increase it. The PC is about 4 years old, (a 450MHz Pentium 3 with an Award Modular Bios v4.51 PG) so I knew there would be an issue over what the largest drive the motherboard/bios would accept. However, I put a 40GB in as a primary slave and it saw it...

Using NT 4, Exchange 5.5 and Outlook as the email client, is it possible to have a normal recipient, who can send from Outlook, but if that person is selected internally from the Global Address book, the email is sent to a different email address altogether - bob@somewhereelse.com? One way is...

In setting up terminal services on a 2003 server, I had spent a lot of time investigating the printing requirements, with redirected printing for remote users etc. However, it occured to me that with a permanent DSL connection and VPN routers at each end, I don't need to worry about redirecting...

Using Backup Exec version 7 with an internal DAT drive on our NT 4 server, all the daily backup jobs work fine and we can restore. But if you go to Tools-Device Operations, all the options are greyed out. I have tried different tapes but the problem now is that I need to get data off a tape...

Using the msrdpcli.exe client, I can connect remotely very well to Terminal Services running on Windows 2003 server. If you enter a program in the Programs tab of the client, you can have a program load on connection and close when you close the connection. However, I would like to go one step...

I am new to ARCServe and am trying to get my head round an existing installation. If I go to the Job Status window, it shows two jobs, one a backup and one a pruning. (Q.1 What is this pruning doing and is it system or user created?). The backup job is shown as Incomplete and if I look at the...
