Does any one know a good way to get rid of the Microsoft Installer? I have a corrupted install and I've tried running the update to the latest version but it gives me an error that it can't access the service. I'm at a point where the best solution would seem to be to uninstall and reinstall...

Dave, It's possible you are loading your SCSI drivers at the wrong point. I've run into this with some Compaq hardware. If you go through the setup and install the drivers when it prompts for them it then tells you it can't find a disk. What you have to do is just as the setup starts, I...

Brian, First a simple subnet mask lesson, just in case you don't already know this. A subnet mask tells a device which part of the ip address is the network number and which part is the host number. So if you have an IP of 192.1.1.1 with a mask of 255.0.0.0 then routers, PCs, etc... will...

I would suggest that the first user's Outlook settings may be set odd. I'd start by comparing the settings under Tools | Options | Mail Format tab and make sure the Message Format and the settings button, sections match on both Outlook clients you have. It could be that one is using mime to...

Hello, We are implementing two SUN boxes soon running Solaris 8, we will probably upgrade to Solaris 9 if the application vendor agrees to support that OS. Here's the problem, we have a Windows NT4 Domain structure. These two SUN boxes are the only UNIX type systems we have, every thing else...

Hello, I'm a newbie to JAVA. I downloaded the Java SDK and loaded it with out any problem. I ran the "Java Web Start" program to see what it looks like. The program loads, and about 3 seconds after the program's window opens my PC reboots! I was hoping I just didn't have something...

Hello, I have an Access2000 DB. It has a link table to a CSV that changes daily. I run an update query to copy data from the CSV to an Access table. Occasionally I will get an error message that says "Numeric Field Overflow" and that's all. The numeric fields are all set to Double...

Thanks for the tips!

Burke, Your router has 16 Meg of memory. 14 Meg is allocated to the processor and 2 Meg is allocated to I/O funcitons. You can use a show mem command to find out how much processor memory is in use. Chris

Does anyone know how to set Exchange Server 5.5 to delete messages over 60 days old? I've got users that never delete thier mail and leave messages on the server forever. We need to implement an automatic deletion to force the users to archive what they want to keep and delete the junk.

Gondada, If you connect to your console port you will find the router is probably booting in ROM Monitor (rommon) mode. This is a very basic IOS that's burn on to a chip for just such occasions. Here's a link to a document at CISCO that describes the ROMMON operation for the 806...

If you get the NT Resource Kit from Microsoft you will get a command line utility called AddUsers. You can create a text file with all the users, passwords, groups, etc... and use the AddUsers command to upload it into the PCs security DB. This way you would only have to execute the upload...

You could add a few DEL commands to the login script or put a line to call a *.bat file in the startup group or the RUN branch of the registry. This way the PC would clean itself up every time you reboot. The registry location is HKey_Local_Machine\Software\microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run...

Thanks for the tips! It looks like we may have this figured out. The server is an NT server and runs TCP/IP and IPX/SPX. The clients that are having problems also have TCP/IP and IPX/SPX. The TCP/IP only clients are not having problems. It appears the clients PCs with IPX/SPX are using that...

Hello, I have encountered this problem with Windows NT and 2000. You can open a file from the network in Word, Excel, or a couple of non-MS programs, but when you click save to save it back, you get a message &quot;Access to <filename> was denied.&quot; You can do a save as and save the file...
