    Auto launch Power Point 2000 CD Presentation?

    I'm having a brain lock here. I have a Power Point presentation done in Office 2000 with music that I want to dump onto a CD and distribute. CD needs to auto run when the user puts it into their drive. Can any one suggest how to do it? Or, can I just dump it onto the CD and it will launch...

    XWND.DLL Explorer Problem

    I have a client who uses XP and his Explorer has been locked on Home Search as home page. When we reset it does not hold. If he rolls the system back it works fine but the problem seems to activate itself within a few short days. The display looks like a full screen search engine the title...

    Low Registry Space on Laptop

    I keep getting a "low registry space" warning on a laptop. The system only has 56 Mg RAM but I am not trying to multi task. Any one have any suggestions? The laptop is so old I doubt if I can find a memory upgrade. Pentium III processor. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks

    Registry cleaner/washer for ME

    I have a friend with a laptop (Compaq Presario). Some one loaded and unloaded all kinds of stuff on it. I have been asked to clean it up. I used "add/remove" whenever I could but also had to dump a bunch of stuff running in background where I could not locate how it was loading. Question...

    Video Blanks Out

    Windows XP factory install and worked fine for a year. Then my daughter started using some games and music downloads. Next thing I hear is computer will not function. My first step was to use the Windows XP Repair installation. I was able to get that to work. But when she started computer...

    Direct files delete not to recycle bin

    There is a key stroke short cut to mark and then delete a series of files from the system. This short cut takes them off and does not require going out to the recycle bin to empty it. The short cut takes them off completely by itself. I can't remember that key combination. Windows 98...

    User Security Win 98

    Thanks Jontmke. Just what a cash stressed, zero budget for an icon utility OS this school needs. The OS at this level is nothing more then a desktop where icons are used to launch other software. You must realize that not every one embraces expensive OS upgrades when no benefit would be...

    User Security Win 98

    Thanks csdb1. I will give that a try. As VMPhilosophy implied any one can walk around Microsoft's network login or passworded screen saver by just rebooting and using the escape key. What I need is to lock the computer down in this general area so that only one person only can use it...

    User Security Win 98

    I am looking for a way, or simple downloadable program that will require a user login/password to launch Windows 98. We are on a Windows 2000 network and this particular workstation uses Windows 98. I know I can set a screen saver password. But I am looking for something that will require a...

Using ICA client the individual terminals are set up point to the server both by name and in server location by the server's IP address. When I edit the ICA client and search the terminal finds the server without delay or problems...

    no beep or post

    Same problem on one of the systems here at the school. Just as you did I pulled all cards except video and tried to boot. It failed. No system fans, keyboard was plugged in (some systems require that now), and changing RAM fixed the problem. I think you are on the right track suspecting RAM...

    How do I Clear Doc folder off Start Menu

    In Windows 98 I went through Start button pull up menu to Settings and then Taskbar & Start Menu. On the Start Menu Programs tab there was a button that cleared the document listings that appear off the Start button pull up menu. I know there has to be a way to do this in Windows 2000 but I...

    mIRC launching during boot

    Too late. By the time I started the cleaning process the worm had worked it's way so deep into the OS that I feel it best to format hard drive and reload. The system is set now so I can backup my data first. Thanks to everyone who responded. This trojan walked into my system regardless my...

    Windows 2000 Pro Tech Book

    Can any one recommend a good Windows 2000 Professional book? I am familiar with the operating system but need more "nuts and bolts" on the internal core files and troubleshooting. It seems like every one capable of typing has a book out there for something. But is there one you...

    mIRC launching during boot

    I have a green square screen in the system tray and often in the upper right hand corner of the screen right after boot. This is a Windows 2000 Professional installation. When I restore the item it lists as mIRC task manager. Looking for it through start menus, task manager, visually...

    Auto Reply "on vacation"

    In GroupWise 5 is there a way to set up an auto reply where email received will automatically receive a response I can type in, for example. "I will be out of the office until May 10th". I know I have seen auto reply from others but do not have any idea how to set it up in...

    File Server Configurations

    That got me pointed in the right direction. All the people I have talked with so far just point to the largest they have on the shelf and tell me that is the minimum they recommend. If I followed their train of thought I would be looking at quad P4's and 4 Gg RAM to push 20 users for...

    File Server Configurations

    Is there a reliable source that is not sales based to gather configuration information? We are considering adding four computer labs over the next two years. I would like to get server prices on a server that would be strong enough to support two labs. When we expanded we would just duplicate...
