    Windows XP 64 bit processor question

    Thank you both, for your suggestions. So far, most everything I have read about Windows XP 64 bit seems that it is a nightmare to setup and administer. I'm not sure that we even want to go down that path.

    Excel 2003 insert picture in locked worksheet

    Thank you for your suggestions, Skip. I decided to not use macros in this situation after all, but I'll refer to that forum in the future. The workaround I came up with is that the user can insert the picture onto another tab in the workbook. They can then paste the picture onto the protected...

    Excel 2003 insert picture in locked worksheet

    I've had the request to figure out how to insert a picture into a locked worksheet in Excel 2003. Currently it is not possible to copy/paste into a locked sheet, nor go to Insert picture from file. The options are grayed out. Do I need to use a macro to do this? If so could someone please...

    Office 2007 configuring every time opening

    OK, on the problem PC, when I go to wmimgmt.msc, under root security I found out that "Everyone" has execute methods, provider write, and enable account permissions. But when I check every other subcategory (except RSOP) under Root, "Everyone" only has execute methods and enable account. But...

    Office 2007 configuring every time opening

    I've been trying to fix the problem with one of our users whose Office 2007 configures and then locks up the PC every time she tries to open it. The local admin does not have this problem, but we make all users Power users. Also, there is a message in the app. log: Event ID 63 WinMgmt: A...

    Sonicwall Content filtering opinions

    Hello, We have a Sonicwall Pro 2040 Standard firewall. Currently have no content filtering in place, but would like to get Content Filtering Premium for Sonicwall. Looking for something <$2000, and since Sonicwall offers that license, thought it would be the best choice. Does anyone have any...

    Wireless AP Cisco 1231

    It is on the production floor. We have a lot of metal, which is probably causing interference. We are only using 802.11 g which is why I realized that we may have the wrong type of antenna with the 5.2dBi one. We're probably better off just buying 2 antennas. Another question though-...

    Wireless AP Cisco 1231

    We have a Cisco 1231AG AP with one Cisco Aironet High Gain Omnidirectional Ceiling Mount Antenna (AIR-ANT1728). We only currently have 1 antenna, although there is room for 2. I don't think we are getting the range we should out of the access point. Would we be better off by purchasing 2-Aironet...

    How to remove one dead domain controller running windows 2000 server

    Our 2nd dc died 6 months ago. We haven't done anything except to delete it from AD. I think the remnants of the failed dc are causing issues with group policy and adding PC's to the domain. I tried doing metadata cleanup (with the above microsoft link). Of course, when I get to the command...

    Hello, We've been having problems with a group of computers disconnecting from the LAN sporadically. We'd like to find some freeware to install on a single PC which will monitor and log the LAN connection kicking off and on. Can anyone suggest something which is fairly user friendly? Thank...

    Hello, We've been having problems with several of our Dell Latitude D531 laptops. They have been disabling the local area connection for no apparent reason. I've unchecked the box in Power Management "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power." What else could be causing this...
