    Can I upgrade to XP Pro from XP Media Center

    They usually give you a black and white disk of the os. And usually, it doesn't require activation :) I would contact dell, they do waranty their systems for 3 yrs. The os disk is mandatory. You paid for it. However, what ever the story, no disk, no luck....

    1st install of OS with SATA

    Ok this is the first time I have tried loading XP on a SATA drive and ran into some bumps. When I try to select the option to instal, it gives me the error that there are no drives found and to check conections and power. Do I need to install basic drivers first?

    Can I upgrade to XP Pro from XP Media Center

    Well, technically, MC is Pro. Technically.... I say this because if you install MC on a computer, you can join it to a domain and it will perform similar to Pro. However, this needs to be done during the install! If you dont you cant join a domain and you loose alot of functions. Since you...

    Print jobs are wacked!!

    Ok, so this is what we did to fix the problem. (the cause, well could have been a number of things...) We found that the HP laser jet was pulling the same IP address as our Cannon machine and therefore was sending all of our print jobs to the cannon vs the HP. We did a "soft reset" while the...

    Print jobs are wacked!!

    ok the ip is 192.168.0.44 (found in the configuration print page). The printer is no longer found in the printer folder on the server. This sucks cause no disk makes instalation much harder....

    Print jobs are wacked!!

    Print jobs are wacked!!

    Is this happening from all workstations or just one? All workstations Is this a new issue or did it just start? This just started as of this morning. (although, our system did come down hard due to a failed ups and loss of power...) Where does the server print to when mapped to the troubled...

    Request receipt option 2003

    Ok, I see that, however, its a drag to have to reselect that option everytime. Is there not a place to have all your messages do this?

    Time out error

    Ok, two things i found out. If I remove AVG 7.1, things started to work much better, however there was still some residual effect in active directory so I created a new user and then after AVG was gone, I was able to add her to powerusers. Go figure...

    Request receipt option 2003

    Ok, I cant for the life of me find the place in 2003 to include a request for reciept option. i know this doesnt work for all accounts I will send to, but I sure did like using it! Or if there is a 3rd party one you all like as well or better, let me know.

    Outlook copy data to new pc

    When you create a pst file, at the point where it asks you which file you want to backup, you need to check the personal folder icon at the top. Then you need to check the box labled "include subfolders" This will allow you to import EVERYTHING into your new office outlook. Microsoft doesnt...
