    Windows 7 Licensing Question

    I want to give a desktop PC that I have sitting around, which is running a corporate licensed version of Windows 7 Professional, to a friend, who in turn wants to give it to a family member as a gift. I think they only really want it because it's already loaded with Windows 7, and they no...

    A co-worker's PC (Vista Home Premium) is getting an error about having to use a temporary profile while logged on, and that any changes made to the profile will not be saved. While logged in, if you try to open up her user folder, it flashes really quick, and closes. What is the best way to fix...

    Contacts when composing an e-mail (Outlook 2003)

    When composing an e-mail in Outlook 2003 (using Word 2003 as the editor), I used to be able to type one letter in the "To" field, and that would bring up all my contacts starting with that letter that I typed. I can no longer do this. Anyone have a fix for this? Thanks.

    Outlook 2003 Printing Question

    When printing e-mails out of Outlook 2003, the left side of the e-mail is getting cut off. A few characters per line, and to more than one printer. It looks fine in the Print Preview, but not when it prints. Not having this problem when printing a Word Document, however. Is there an option to...

    What do you folks do to

    stay sharp"? I wasn't even in the computer field for a year when I got an offer as a contractor. Back in the good old days when IT workers were a scarce bunch! I was exposed to so many different systems, technologies, etc., etc. Well, since the Y2K scare was over, everyone started cutting back...

    Home Basic Rights Question

    A friend of mine runs Home Basic. He created a separate account for him (named John), and it shows him as having Admin rights. However, when he tries to install software, it says that he must log on as Administrator to do so. Is there a work-around for something like that, or will he have to do...

    Why Does My Fan Keep Coming On?

    I have an HP P4 computer (with 1GB of RAM), and it seems like even when I'm not running a whole lot, the system fan kicks in, and things run slow when it's on. I check Task Manager when it happens, and the processor isn't at 100%, which is where I thought it'd be. It hangs anywhere between...

    I Just Got A...

    HP iPAQ (Pocket PC 2003 Pro w/Outlook 2002), and I'm going over it, deciding if I want to use it or stick to my Sony Clie that I've had (and loved) for years now. The iPAQ is a hand-me-down. Anyway, I used to use a Compaq Pocket PC years ago, mainly because I used to sync Microsoft Money with...

    USB Question

    My boss has an old scanner (that sat brand new in the box since the Windows 98 era), and decided to hook it up to his brand new PC. It came with a USB cable, and he downloaded the XP driver for it since it came with only a 98 driver. After installing it, his PC does not recognize the scanner...

    CCNA "Hot Spot" Switching Question

    I ran into a question on the CCNA exam (that I missed by 2 points) that I just totally blanked out on. It was something like "Which ports on Sw1 will forward a frame that has a source MAC address of "aaaa.aaaa.aaaa" and a destination MAC address of "bbbb.bbbb.bbbb" (Choose all that apply)" Then...

    Greetings. I have a quick newbie-type ACL question for you fine folks. I have hosts going off "Interface A" of my router. I have an FTP server (and other servers) off "Interface B". I need to block all of the hosts (except for one or two, still up in the air) from having access to this FTP...

    Limiting the Number of IE Windows

    Hello, everyone. Is there a way that I can limit the number of IE (version 6) windows that can be opened at once? For example, if my son wants to go to a website, that's fine. But he likes to open 8-10 IE windows, and that's pegging the CPU near 100%. And unfortunately I can't just tell him not...

    What does Cisco want?

    According to Todd Lammle, the formula for determining the number of subnets is 2^n , am I correct? Cisco Press (the practice sims) say that it is 2^n -2 for subnets AND hosts? What does the exam say?

    Clarification on How2Pass & Testking

    Could someone please clarify a few things for me? It sounds like How2Pass, which has been discussed recently on here, sounds like it's a decent test-prep site WITHOUT having actual exam questions/answers. I've heard people say good AND bad about Testking. Some say it's the exact questions, but...
