Not to sound like I'm hopelessly beating a (broken) drum, but I believe support for centralized preferences/profiles came with official "support" in a later iteration, possibly version 10 or at least 9 SP 4. One idea might be to get a copy of the current version, and see how this function is...

Precisely what I needed. Thanks! Dallas S. Kelsey, III DKelsey-at-CHGLaw-dot-com Cox, Hodgman, & Giarmarco, P.C. Troy MI 48084

bacstner is correct--provided the systems are not a part of a domain. You may also want to check the <b>Remote</b> settings under <b>System Properties:Remote</b>...enable remote desktop and verify that your user group that does remote administration is listed as having permission to connect...

In previous versions of Windows NOS's, when a user creates a new folder, the Explorer window would automatically scroll over to wherever it pops into the list of folders in the current directory. In XP, this does not seem to be happening for us--is this a setting we may have inadvertently...

My bad... I guess I assumed that someone setting up 10 PCs with different hardware configurations will not have or qualify for a select or enterprise level agreement. I suppose one could be a MOLP cumstomer with 10 PCs, but that was not mentioned either. It is true that RIS/PXE/Admin...

First, you need to create an administrative installation point (can't remember how to do this) which means you will need a server that can hold the files necessary--essentially the contents of the \i386 directory on the XP setup CD--and then you will want connectivity, preferably with NICs that...

Can you post a screen shot of the window you are seeing with the options grayed out? I am not sure if I am understanding you 100% or not... Thanks. Glad you found a workaround... Dallas Dallas S. Kelsey, III DKelsey-at-CHGLaw-dot-com Cox, Hodgman, & Giarmarco, P.C. Troy MI 48084

I would never recommend having your server automatically updating itself. I'd keep a different PC running the SAME OS on the network or at least just have the automatic updates set to NOTIFY when updates are available... to update a server, I would recommend downloading the administrative...

I must agree with Serbtastic... in that the capabilities (by design) of Access are being stretched at best and most likely exceeded. I have seen similar problems with 10 or so users accessing Corel Paradox databases (!) .... [hey, if it were up to me, there would be NO Corel...but it's not up...

Is this problem consistent? Isn't Nero a burning tool? If it is, how about throttling the burn speed down some or change the way you are burning...if it's a disc-to-disc burn, perhaps copying to an image/file then burning from that? Are you copying discs? If you are, is it SCSI to SCSI or...

I have encountered this error before--though the failure is always being reported from a different module (the SCSI portion of the HAL, it seems in your case). All the intelligible advice I have seen on this issue in the past points to faulty drivers, corrupt drivers, or a vendor cramming 2k...

Ah, yes. The power of UNIX!! Unfortunately, I do not see how a bootable CD will help--the issue of no spare media is independent of using a Microsoft OS or a shareware OS. :-) Though it would help to be able to &quot;hide&quot; the files somewhere by putting them where a re-insatallation is...

No. But keep in mind that whenever something as radical as an OS installation is undertaken, there is always a risk of losing data (no matter how unlikely). Make sure this scenario is acceptable, and if it is not--it would be worth the $60-or-so &quot;shoulda-known-better&quot; fee to pay...

I have seen advice in certain circumstances that recommends using the SFC utility with the cache purging (and sometimes also resizing) option enabled. It is unclear to me what this cache in fact is, what it does, and why purging or resizing it would be beneficial. Is this a good idea or not...

I *believe* you will be given the option to purge or retain settings upon re-install. Is the file system FAT or NTFS? If FAT, I would recommend moving the critical data (e.g., contents of her profile, specifically MY DOCUMENTS, FAVORITES... maybe DESKTOP, etc.) by either backing up the volume...

*shrug* The manual restore is quick...just create a profile, pop the user name and server name in and voila! It's just an annoyance and quite odd. I can understand one maybe two users out of a hundred deleting their profiles by messing around but this has been more like 20% or so over the...

Simple. Make all users full administrators. Problem solved. However, if you don't like Corel's suggestion (as we didn't) there are other ways. The best I've found so far is to use the Network Administration tools to set up a server-based installation (to which users have READ access)...

Woah! I can't believe I forgot to put that in my original post. It's an Exhange 2k server, also with the latest service pack. This has, incidentally, been occuring on both the win2k and the xp workstations... Dallas S. Kelsey, III DKelsey-at-CHGLaw-dot-com Cox, Hodgman, & Giarmarco, P.C...

Could this possibly be because you have updated the print driver from the &quot;built in&quot; windows driver to the updated hardware manufacturer's printer? This can sometimes inadvertently suppress features just as well as it can enable them! What printer is it, and what driver is it using...

We run a network with Windows 2000 Domain Servers and Windows 2k Pro and XP Pro workstations. Users are standard users (i.e., no admin rights). Both server and workstation are all up to date with service packs and critical updates (all 4,965 of them). Also, the Office software is current and...
