Supposedly, the printer recalibrates itself at every power on, but that didn't work either. The label is for the size of stock I am using, and worked fine on another PC printing to a Weber printer. I found a solution, although not perfect. If I use the printer control panel to reset it to...

I cleared up the offset issue by resetting the printer to defaults. I'm still stumped as to how to switch between different label stock sizes.

My company has a Zebra 105SL. I just switch a computer running Weber Legi for Windows 3.5 over to it and installed the Zebra driver. This computer used to print to a Weber label printer, which died. On that printer I could print whatever size label just by choosing the right label in Legi and...

I did try the XP disk boot. I finally used the command prompt to connect to a thumb drive and install Kaspersky. It found piles of problems and after a couple of reboots to clear a few I got the desktop back. I can't tell which was the problem for sure. The most problematic remaining appears to...

I have user who has a laptop with XP on it. He complained it was getting a bit sluggish so I took a look at it and ran some scans. First I found that there were 130+ instances of cmd.exe running in the task manager every time Windows was booted. I checked out the startup folder but didn't see...

UPDATE After 3 days of not being able to connect I can now log in via VPN. I still can't ping the IP which seems strange. Nothing has changed other than I logged directly into the RAS machine and looked around at the settings. Even after I did that yesterday I was not able to connect. It just...

I have a RAS server that was setup by a previous IT person. I use for VPN and do remote admin on the network. Its been working fine until recently. For no apparent reason it stopped answering incoming connections. I can't connect to it or even get reply when pinging our external IP address...

Well, I guess I answered my own question. The system appears to boot fine after I copied ntdetect.com from the cd to the C: directory. I guess I will ask a slightly different question. Is there anything else I might be missing after doing such a boneheaded thing? Other than the pagefile.sys and...

algae1, I know this isn't any help now, but never trust those backup verification things in the backup software. I always insist on acutally attempting a real world recovery when setting up a new backup system or upgrading existing backup software. As for software, I'm not affliated with them...

The other day I had a problem with a utility I use writing thousands of tiny random files to several of my drives (C & D). I went through and cleaned them up, carefully watching out for files that belonged there. Windows continued to run fine. Now 3 days later I had to reboot my machine (XP Pro)...

I use AVG and I scan daily. I am confident I know why they are showing up and how to stop it from happening again. I have 4 drives and I only got these random files on the 2 that I stopped the nightly Eraser program from running before it was finished.

I have found that my C & D drives have 1000's of random tiny files on them. This causes Windows Explorer to almost crawl to a halt. These files show up on the root of C & D. C had about 20,000 files which I went through a few thousand at a time and deleted. D takes about 30 minutes to refresh on...

Problem solved. It was my stupidity...I forgot to install PuTTY. Everything in the green now. Thanks wolluf for your response.

I recently had to reinstall W2K on a laptop due to a harddrive failure. Everything is reinstalled and I downloaded the remote desktop client from MS. I am using a script that automates the process to connect to a XP Pro desktop. The script worked fine prior to the reinstall and I have other...

Turned out it was the 2Wire DSL modem provided by SBC. It was configured as a router and wouldn't play nice with the DLink. SBC had me change settings in the modem so it would be a bridge and pass the dynamic IP to the router. This failed and they gave up, blaming DLink as is typical with these...

Yes, thanks for the clarification, I should have mentioned that. I configured the router for the DSL modem with user and password for PPPoE. I also tried it with a cable modem and changed it to dynamic IP. The status screen reads either connecting or disconnected. If I press the connect button...

Yes, I have tried different cables, including one that is working fine on another modem/router setup. Changing IP of router doesn't have any effect.

I have a DLink DI-524 wireless router that wont connect to a modem and accept an IP address. This is a new router that hasn't been used, but is several months old so I can't return it. I have tried connecting it to both a DSL modem and a cable modem that work fine with other routers, with the...

I can copy and open all files in the shared folders except PDFs created since I had to reinstall Acrobat 6. Older PDFs work fine, unless I reconvert them from .doc to .pdf, then I get the same problem.

I tried copying the file to the local machine but got the following error: Cannot copy X: Access is denied. This seems to only effect PDFs. I can open any other files from the laptops except PDFs. I also tried re-sharing the folder, but it had no effect.
