Hello all, How would I use an enviro var in a .reg file? I'd like to use the command "regedit /s fetch.reg" to update an existing key with the computer's computer name with a reg file (fetch.reg). I've tried just coding the %computername% variable into the key like so...

Oh yes, all the PCs are Windows XP Pro.

Hi all, I'm trying to fix an invalid registry key. I'll be deploying this to 1000 workstations using Radia when it's done. I have a registry key for a third party app that's supposed to have the computer's name in it, but instead the keys have the same arbitrary string due to a faulty MSI. How...

Well Unix is certainly more stable than pre-2000 Windows O/Ses. I'm not an agent of Bill Gates' dark army and I'm not purporting Windows was given to us from the gods. It's got many flaws. But XP has a solid kernel and it's very powerful, if you take the time to learn how to use it. What...

I got the Examcram one (a day before hearing they went under.. grrr). It's quite good.. however I notice a few factual mistakes. I'm going to try the test in a month. (fingers crossed) I've never written an MCP exam before.

Even with braindumps you're never going to pass A+ without more hands-on experience in IT. A+ is definately the easiest cert to get (that I've come across), but it still covers a lot of material and if you're a PC and Internet novice, I highly doubt you'll pass. Go to your library and take out...

You can uninstall XP by going into "add/remove programs" and click on "uninstall XP". It'll go back to 98 as long as you didn't upgrade to NTFS... or if you didn't go from FAT to FAT32. I'm not sure what your problem is. XP kicks 98's behind. I have a feeling you either...

What's "burn proof"? Do you mean "Test and Burn"? I also suggest lowering the burn speed. Your TEAC can't read at 40x so it can't keep up. I always burn to source drive first, as the "on the fly" copying is really sketchy at the best of times. It requires...

Remove it from the registry?? -You should go into your control panel and choose "system" -choose "hardware" tab -click on "device manager" -right click the device you want to delete and click "uninstall" Do NOT start mucking around with your registry if...

I think the real lesson here is always ground yourself to the case before touching the internals on your PC (or use an ESD strap if you're paranoid). I've been working on PCs for 15 years and I've never fried anything. And take it from a guy that's got XP, if your system can handle it, throw 98...

Shweet.. thanks. Can anyone suggest a book for studying for the XP exam? I see Microsoft has one out (of course)... I haven't seen any others yet.

I have an ABIT BP6 and had the same problem. You have to download the latest Highpoint drivers, which can be found here: http://www.highpoint-tech.com/drivers.htm Unzip them on a floppy. When the setup asks you to hit F6 for hard drive controllers, do so. It'll continue setting up the files...

Add a bit more info: What kind of soundcard? What version of Windows? What MP3 player? Are you sure the MP3 isn't corrupt? I'd try a different MP3 player before anything. You might have the output set wrong if it's Winamp for example.

Can you take this test instead of 70-210 (win2k pro admin) toward the MCSE?

I thought NetBIOS was only for pre-windows 2000 O/S's? I was trying to do it all through TCP/IP. Perhaps it is a problem with my DNS or DHCP settings. I'm only putting one server on the network so my domain controller is also my DNS controller and gateway. I think I may have set it up wrong...

Hello.. I'm fairly new to network admin so please keep answers at a low-intermediate level. =) I've installed Win2k Server on a PC in what was once a 15 workstation peer-to-peer network. -Converted all work stations to Win2k Pro -Installed the server O/S -Installed DHCP, DNS, Active Directory...
