    Flaky Problem

    Haha, I know that feeling... It was an old GMA video chipset that fried - I just wound up putting a budget video card in it.

    Flaky Problem

    FYI - I've had 4 out of 5 of those symptoms and while my power supply was fine, my video card was not. Not sure why I got the USB power surge, but replacing the video card made all the problems go away. You might consider changing the video card as a safety precaution...

    Why is my Windows Experience Index score so low???

    Ugh. Just curious, does the WPI score take into account RAID arrays? I have a raid 1+0 on my Vista machine that has a transfer rate of 180-200 MB/sec. That machine recently had an issue and I installed Vista on a single drive for a test, and it was SO much slower than I was used to. My machine...

    Why is my Windows Experience Index score so low???

    We have quite a few (10+?) Seagate drives that are still working in our workstations, the oldest one is a 20 GB from 2003. Slower than heck, but it still works. We have used Samsung, Seagate, Maxtor, WD, IBM, and Fujitsu drives where I work. The Seagates so far have lasted the longest, if I...

    Information store crashing

    Okay, after looking into this, I discovered some update happened and MSXML got unregistered. I don't know when it happened exactly, but I re-registered msxml30.dll the backup has not had issues since. The information store has crashed since that above fix, but I do believe the database is in a...

    Information store crashing

    Well, so much for confirming shadow copies is causing the issue. Apparently shadow copies was a side-effect, caused by store.exe terminating unexpectedly. I have found out it is as I thought: msExchangeAssistants is running scripts and literally one second later, the information store crashes...

    Information store crashing

    I've confirmed that it is indeed something to do with shadow copies, so now I will wander off to another forum.

    Cached vs. online mode

    I've done some more googling and discovered having calendars in cached mode causes sync issues. We currently have people double-booking and the like due to the problems with cached mode. The problem is nobody seems to have a solution for it. Waiting a day (in some cases from what I've read) for...

    Cached vs. online mode

    We have had issues with users' shared calendars being out of sync. I recently discovered that by putting affected users on the 'online' mode corrects these problems. What I've been googling around for is a comparison between online and cached mode listing advantages and disadvantages, but I...

    OWA Saving Word Or Excel Documents

    When you click on Save it saves it to a temporary location, either Temporary Internet Files or the actual Temp folder. As this is just a cache or temporary storage the contents can change frequently and garbage collection happens (where files are removed.) Likely what happened is when the...

    Information store crashing

    Sorry, the reply notifications were going into the Junk folder. I've changed the limit but it's crashed since. I think I've now isolated it to the backup - it appears the store randomly dies in the middle of a snapshot. At this point I don't know if it's the store that's the issue, or if VSS is...

    Information store crashing

    ...problem, so I changed the schedule from daily to weekly (Sunday AM.) Last night it crashed again. I went and looked and there's no indication of *why* it crashed, but I did notice something - the primary mailbox store hit the magical value of 18 GB, which was always a problem with Exchange...

    Pinging subnet

    To answer my own question... I thought about writing a simple bash script, until I realized I can set a minimum of a one second timeout. This of course would lead to over four minutes of scan time. I'd forgotten I had nmap installed. Quick look at the man pages and I found a way to scan my...

    Pinging subnet

    Is there an easy way to ping the subnet to see what IP addresses are active? I tried broadcast ping and I know one IP is up for sure and it didn't respond, so that's not a terribly good solution.

    Dual monitor strangeness

    I think I solved it... I went into 7's Screen Resolution dialog and found that the secondary monitor was being detected as a non-PnP display. I set the resolution manually for now as browsing on 800x600 is not fun on today's web. I went to nVidia's website and found the beta drivers section. I...

    Dual monitor strangeness

    OK, so I removed the KVM and it still does it. I swapped the monitors from DVI/VGA to VGA/DVI and it still does it but on the opposite monitor. I'm beginning to think it's the nVidia driver.

    Dual monitor strangeness

    Nope, everything is loaded other than my old scanner that apparently doesn't work with Win7. I found drivers for everything but the monitors themselves.

    Dual monitor strangeness

    I won't be able to route around the KVM for a while, I have things running on the machine. What really ticks me off is that this setup worked *perfectly fine* with XP and my recent migration to Win7 around a week ago caused it to surface.

    Dual monitor strangeness

    The monitor that runs through the KVM is working correctly; it's the secondary monitor plugged directly into the VGA port of the nVidia card that isn't working.

    Dual monitor strangeness

    There are no drivers for my monitor on LG's website. Grr. The secondary monitor is plugged directly into the VGA port on the card. The Primary is hooked from DVI -> Vga Converter -> KVM -> monitor, and it's the one that works properly! Go figure.
