    Ethernet Cable ???

    I have a test setup at work that has a PC with 10/100/1000 ethernet connected to a Gigabit switch, and a unit under test (UUT) with 10/100/1000 ethernet connected to the same switch. The PC and UUT are both supposed to auto-negotiate speed. If the cable between the UUT and switch has eight...

    Uninstall an application from cmd prompt

    I want to uninstall an application (ActivCard) from a command prompt with the same results that would be had using the "Add/Remove Programs" GUI in XP. How do I do that? Google is not my friend in this case.

    Unable to see flash drive letter in My Computer

    I need to install a 10/100/1000Mbps ethernet switch that will have one 10/100/1000 auto-negotiating Windows PC connected, along with two 1000Mbps (only) devices. And I need to uplink the 10/100/1000 switch to a 10/100 switch that will have several 100Mbps (only) devices connected. Will the PC...

    XP Home Security

    First, I apologize for an XP Home question here. I have one XP Home machine that my wife and three kids use. Recently my 11 y-o and 14 y-o sons find it amusing to make other user's accounts "limited", and to lock down my antivirus program so their 8 y-o brother cannot access certain websites...

    Video Delay

    I have an All In Wonder Pro 9800 Pro TV card and my sound is onboard Realtek AC97. I am using latest ATI and Realtek drivers. I have noticed the sound is delayed by about 1/2 second behind the video... very annoying seeing people's lips move and then hearing what they said 1/2 second later. My...

    Cannot Remove Share

    The C:\Documents and Settings\Sean folder is shared on my son's account and I cannot remove the share. The option to uncheck the box for "Share this folder on the network" is greyed out. And although the folder is supposedly shared, no other PCs on the network can access it. Any ideas?

    File download problem

    I am having a problem at work and am not sure whether it is a XP Pro, networking, or cabling issue so I'll post it here. I have a XP Pro computer with P4 Xeon CPUs and a 10/100/1000 NIC that is plugged into an unmanaged Linksys 16 port switch. Also plugged into the switch is an avionics box...

    Printing Excel Files

    I use Office 2000 to generate Purchasing Requisitions in Excel. Some days I may write 47 of them (like yesterday) and I want to print them all at once. If I open up the folder where they are kept, and drag the mouse cursor around a group, and hit Print... every other one gets printed. And if I...

    Can't unplug USB stick

    I have W2K + SP4 on my work PC. Up until this week I could plug in my Lexar Jumpdrive 2.0 (256MB) memory stick, do my work, click the taskbar icon to unplug it, Windows tells me it is safe to remove the drive and everything was cool. Now when I click the taskbar icon to unplug it, a window pops...

    I currently have a family PC running XP Home with six users. All are administrator accounts because I find the restricted account option is too restricted.
