Please help... anybody got any good idea to fix my windows vista error... this does not prompt any error message.. but the problem is? when my windows vista OS starts? after i log into my user account... it does not load the desktop environment and it only load a single explorer with no desktop environment at all??? you can't see anything but explorer or folder explorer... no desktop icons, no start menu, no taskbar...
and in order to load the desktop environment? is to manually load another windows explorer using??
CTRL+ALT+DEL then TaskManager then ALT+FILE then "NEW TASK(RUN...)" then type "Explorer"... then when the new windows explorer pops up?? then the desktop environment also starts to be loaded or visible...
I think there's a registry key is missing or erase or wrong in my vista registry...
Anybody there have any idea to fix this??? please help... a lot of appreciation please...

Hello
What's the maximum size of a NTFS drive ?
What's the maximum size of a FAT32 drive ?
Thank you
|
|

NTFS Standard volume: up to 2TB
If you create a dynamic volume: up to 2^64-1 clusters.
FAT 32: between 32 GB and 2 TB depending on operating system

What about WinXP SP2 (32 bit) ?
|
|
|
|
|

Can use up to 2TB.
But can format only 32GB, this limit is by design. If you want larger use NTFS, or format using a Boot disk from Windows Me   .

Uploading an Excel file?? From where? What's the error message??
There are no "supporting files" for Office. No prerequisites. No nothing you can download to "makes it work". It just does.

I've recently gotten interested in the embedded variants of Microsoft Windows. As a Windows XP user I edit a lot of settings both user-wide and service wide. If I have understood correctly then using Windows XP Embedded (which is not the same as Windows Embedded right?) then I can change more settings, edit which components and services get installed (smaller footprint) and edit low-level settings (like optimizing the OS to run of a CF card).
I've been searching for information on what I need, how the setup works, how configuration works, and other nifty options. But I haven't found anything really useful.
Can anyone shine some light on this?
Thanks,
//Johannes

Embedded XP is basically XP that you've tailored as you want it by choosing which OS components you want in your build. You can download the evaluation edition from Embedded XP SP2[^]. The "120 days from installation" refers to the XPe images you create, not the tool itself. Basically, it creates a set of files that reflect the component choices you have made and those files are placed on your target system and then "installed" to create your OS on the target. The included documentation is pretty good, as MS docs go.

Hi, I’m new to windows 2003 DNS server especially with the zone delegation. I understand about the purpose and its overview about zone delegation but what I don’t understand is the record in the zone delegation and the parent zone.
I just want to know how the DNS server manage the record between the parent zone and the delegation zone when there is an overload DNS query on the parent zone? Is it require administrator to update the resource record in the delegation zone manually or any other way to update automatically? How to configure the DNS at the client machine when it is located in an environment that have DNS server store the delegation zone? Thank in advance!!!

The server(s) hosting the parent zone knows the IP numbers of the servers hosting the delegated zone, and that's enough.
This is normally handled manually.
So if your client computer wants the IP address of www.example.com., it asks the DNS it has preset in its network settings.
If it is hosting the zone or has it cached it simply answers.
Otherwise it asks one of the root servers (.) (which are preset) for a server hosting the .com. zone (unless it's cached already of course).
Checks the .com. zone for the delegation for .example.com. zone.
Asks this server for its zone and looks up what IP www is having and returns this to your client.
If the owner of example.com. needs a subdomain called branchoffice.example.com. it's just another delegation, like .com. has delegated .example.com.
I hope I have answered the right question, and apologies to all people geekier than me if I have oversimplified the matter.

You can also tell your dns server to forward queries for all or some specific queries such as special domains to dns-servers of your choice, or just use root-servers as Jörgen already said.
this may be useful if you have performance issues.
|
|
|
|
|
Also very useful if you are having a delegated zone, and the parent zone isn't public

So at the DNS IP address of client tcp configuration should we supply an IP address of the parent server or an ip address of the server which hosting the zone delegation? Thank

Hi, guys!
I'd be really happy if someone could solve my trouble. Here is the story
I've got a home network, with a LAN server, which is also a Internet gateway, has a static IP and gives the internet to the local area computers. One of the local area computers is a Windows 2008 Web Server. In order to connect to it I've added some exceptions on the LAN server, so the ports are redirected from the Lan Server to 2008 Web Server. The problem is that Remote Desktop is not working in this case. Actually, you can access the 2008 Web Server from the LAN computers, but you cannot access it via the Internet (by typing a Static IP of the LAN server)
Thanks for the help,
I really appreciate that

Open a remote desktop to the LAN server. In this LAN server session you can open a new remote desktop to the webserver.

I must first apologize as I was not sure where to post this, I could not find the VBScript forum, but it is a simple enough question. How do I point the rundll32 to look on the net. Here is what I got that doesnt work:
args = "printui.dll, PrintUIEntry /if /b ""CSE-211-CLQ"" /f ""labs.circa.ufl.edu/laptopAD/Drivers/7760.inf7760.inf"" /q /r ""CSE-211-CLQ"" /m ""Xerox Phaser 7760GX PS"" /z /u"
If it helps, this is used in Visual Basic 
Thank you in advance.

|
|

You can't. Printui.dll will only use UNC paths, not http protocol sources. You have to copy that file locally first in order to use it.

OK I was afraid of that, however Why is this not working? It was before, but now for some reason it is not anymore: It add the port just fine in the beginning and seems to rundll32 does not seem to work, when I hand code it in the command prompt, it still does not work. What did I do wrong?

I have no idea why it no longer works, and I can't test anything like this in my environment.

Is there a method of restoring the original XP product
key number that came with the computer and XP SP2 installation
cd disk that I am using.I was experimenting with changing the
product key and I changed two of the numbers in the ODBETIMER
in the regedit.Then using the magical jellybean program, I got the new product key number.
Then,I reinstalled the xp and when prompted by the XP cd
disk to enter the product key , I entered the new number that I got
from the magical jellybean and I was able to proceed with the new installation.
But,it takes about 75 seconds for my computer to boot up each time I turn it on as compared to about 35 seconds before I changed the product key.The computer operates normally once it boots
up and is still fast to turn off;in about 15 seconds.
The XP does not require activation now.
Also, I notice that I can still use my original product key when prompted by the XP SP2 cd install disk,when reinstalling
the xp operating system; although the jellybean still gives the new product key number if I run the jellybean.
Before I changed two of the "ODBETIMER" digits; I wrote down the digits [22]in total of the original "OBETIMER",before I randomly changed two of the digits manuelly.
I tried re entering the original 22 digits in ODBETIMER ,to see if I could restore the speed of the computer at bootup;but the new scrambled numbers reappeared in the ODBETIMER after booting up and was still a slow 75 second boot up.
I got a couple of fast 35 second bootup by entering all 22 of the original ODBETIMER digits and then, istead of rebooting the computer normally , I pressed the F12 key and and changed the bootup to my XP SP2 cd install disk that allows for a complete new reinstallation with formatting. When the reinstallation was complete; I was able to get a couple of fast bootups[30 to 35] seconds,after installing the graghics and audio drivers from the driver disk. After that,the bootup slowed down to the 75 second range on subsequent reboots whenever I am going to use the computer.
Is there a possibility that that a reset of some sort could be done in the BIOS in the computer with the settings or by taking the battery out of the motherboard briefly and with the power cord diconnected from the 120 volt AC ?
Would a phone call to microsoft be required in order
to get a new product ID number of some sort; as the only solution?
Any suggestions anyone?
- thanks, winch1020

My suggestion is that you stop messing around trying to disable activation and go out any buy a legal copy of XP.
Doing a full format & reinstall using your original legal product key is enough. Nothing related to windows XP or products keys is stored in the BIOS.

The XP SP2 cd disk I am using is a legal copy that Dell
sent to me [it is a 2006 version] so I would have the service pack 2 update and could use it when doing reinstalls on my Dell computer which is legally registered in my name.I had bought the computer from a friend as a used computer because the company he works for was upgrading to new computers and he phoned Dell and re-registered the computer in my name.
Also, from what I have read in various computer articles, there are no differences in any of the XP disks in regards to any particular product key.The determining factor is what product key number has been pre-programmed into each individual computer by the manufacturer before selling the computers.Although, the original product key number can be reset by a computer owner as there are articles on some of the different internet sites that tell you how to change your computers product key number;for example,the microsoft knowledge base is one source of instructions that tell you how to chamge your product key number.
When I wrote in my previous post that my original product key was still working whenever I wanted to reinstall the XP cd; after I had apparently reset the product key number according to the jellybean program;there is a problem using the original product key and that is that after I have reinstalled the XP;and then launch the activation wizard by running the %systemroot%\system32\oobe\msoobe.exe /a routine, the wizard says lets activate windows and when I try activating using the over the internet option; the wizard says "that according to microsoft records ,I have used my product key to many times and that I should phone microsoft to get a new number ".
However, if I do a reinstall of the xp disc and enter the new product key that the magical jellybean program had extracted from my computer;then,after the xp has been reinstalled and I run the activation wizard;the wizard says that the computer is already activated and that I close the wizard.
