Not quite, but it sounds logical. Once a desktop is infected, the environment is under your control, so to speak. Lots of hotmail addresses can be retrieved by merely scanning the user folder where Live Messenger is installed. Addresses mentioned in a conversation can be retrieved by a low-priority thread that only leeches resources when the screensaver is active and that scans the conversation-logfiles with a regex.
..and once you get going, you install a keyhook that filters for popular webpages, and note that these often get followed by a username and a password.

Hi, I have a problem with one of my client computer has a problem with internet connection. During the time that he surf the net, his connection to the internet was lost immediate.
From this point, I think may be this problem related to the physical of network interface card. But he inform me that he could access to the share drive on another server as normal. So with this point I think it might not related to the physical hardware on his computer or my firewall block him (i never configure the firewall to block any user).
So it is a little bit difficult for me to determine what is the cause of the problem that made him lost his internet connection while he still be able to access the share drive on the server.
I try to check his event viewer and I found that his system has the following error with DCOM:
Event Type: Error
Event Source: DCOM
Event Category: None
Event ID: 10009
Date: 8/30/2010
Time: 4:50:52 PM
User: <domain_name>\<user_name>
Computer: <local_computer_name>
Description:
DCOM was unable to communicate with the computer <remote_computer_name> using any of the configured protocols.
For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
With the above information, does anyone has any idea what is the cause of the problem?

I guess I am a bit confused about how this is supposed to work. maybe someone here can clarify this for me.
I, because I am really... err... organized? want to keep separate custom dictionaries for stuff. That way I can activate them and deactivate them as I go depending on what I am working on at the time.
For example, I would LIKE to have one dictionary for all medical type acronyms for when I am editing stuff of that context, but then be able to turn that off when I am editing a different type of document. Yes, I am aware that some acronyms cross functional areas, and I am OK with that and can manage it.
MY problem now is that it seems like even if you can HAVE multiple custom dictionaries, word seems to only USE one (the one marked as default) when you say 'add to dictionary' and does not ask you specifically which ONE to add it to. So, this means that I would have to go through my custom file once in a while and move the stuff I want out into the other custom ones I have added built.
Can someone out there confirm this for me just so I am sure that I am not crazy? Seems a bit odd to me, but I guess I can understand it to a point.

Yup, that's possible; I'm doing the same for the client-names and placenames in a Sql database.
For Word 2007, go to "Word Options", tabpage "Proofing", and click "Custom Dictionaries". You can have mulitple custom dictionaries, and every checked dictionary is active.

Yeah, I validated that and I guess it is OK...
What I was hoping for though was that I could have multiple active ones, and then when I came across a word that was not in any, and decided to add it I could pick which one(s) I wanted it added to.
Currently, when you add a new word it by default ends up in the one marked as 'Default' on the list.

The dictionaires are text-files. Perhaps you could try to add the word to the file using a Macro?

With Windows XP, I can select a TZ in the range of -12 to +13. For those of you using Vista or Windows 7, what are the timezone ranges?
Thanks.

Hello all,
When I close the display of my laptop it goes to standby mode.
Usually when I open the display again and press the start button, the computer starts without any problem, but there are other times that it can't connect to the internet neither to the local network.
It says: "Unidentified network" "No internet connection".
When this happens the two leds in the ethernet plug on the laptop are constantly on (not blinking).
There are only 2 ways to solve that that have worked for me:
1. Shut down the computer and unplug the power and ethernet cable, wait for some seconds and then power it again.
2. Reduce the ethernet speed to 10mbps.
This is making me go nuts...
of course I've searched in all the places I've been able to think about, but the solutions that I've tested are not good:
1. Removing the bonjour service from apple. (##Id_String1.6844F930_1628_4223_B5CC_5BB94B879762##)
2. Disabling and re-enabling the network card.
3. I've not needed to change the IPv4 settings as I have them manually assigned. (in some places they say that DHCP is not working...)
4. flushdns... + restart...
5. Waiting for some time after rebooting...
6. ...
The annoying part of that is when I need to save some work to my server and I can't because the network is not working... or when I need to send e-mails or receive skype calls...
Any of you here know how to solve that?
Thank you in advance!

Try downloing new drivers for your network card and installing them.

Done already, from HP and in the web it was stated that it should solve precisely my problem... unluckily it hasn't... 
This is so frustrating...

Can't help you out, except by saying you probably shouldn't close the display with unsaved data all around! And if the app is yours, you probably could detect the situation (SystemEvents class might be useful here) and save automatically.

YEs, you are right, but sometimes I leave the company in the middle of a download and I can continue downloading at home, or similar and then I must restart the computer and it is annoying...

I got a problem when I ping to other machine. At the command prompt when I type ping and follow by an ip address, it display that ping is not recognize as internal or external command. Why?
|
|
|
|
|
Either because your PATH doesn't include C:\Windows\system32 (doubtful) or the ping.exe file in there doesn't exist anymore.
|
|
|
|

the ping.exe file is in c:\windows\system32. But the problem still occur

In windows xp pro, when I use shift and right click to choose run as command on any setup file, the default user name of administrator already appear and I just need to type in the password only. From here I do not want the default administrator name appear because it will increase the security risk because only password is require. Is it possible to do that?

I have both Sql Server and IIS installed under Windows 7 (Pro and Ultimate). It may be that Windows 7 Home has restrictions so you need to get Pro or Ultimate.

Thanks, for small/home business would you recommend Windows 7 or Windows 2008?

I would not recommend either - I am not qualified to make that assessment on your behalf. It will depend on your requirements and what resources your business system needs.

AFAIK you'll need some Windows Server edition if you need to serve more than 10 users.
