Not wanting to do a "me too" on this, but I am also suffering the exact same problem. The situation is possibly a little different, so i shall explain that in some detail so as to hopefully help anybody who may be able to offer a resolution for this. I have a single user who is sporadically...

I'm not too sure if this is the appropriate forum for this type of request, but it shouldn't be too inappropriate either. Can anyone suggest websites or articles that present a relatively balanced reason for using, or even not using, Linux as a file server? I'm looking for articles similar...

Thanks for the advice Weevil, i found information on how to boot up in single user mode on the Red Hat website, but I'm still getting the same errors. If i type "linux single root=/dev/hdb1 initrd=" at the boot: prompt - suggested on their website - i get the following error; hdb : dma_intr ...

I am a very low level user and am not particularly "au fait" with the technical side of Linux. After a period of non-use i have gone back to trying to use a hard drive with Linux installed on it - i was using it to learn about Linux. As far as I can remember - it's been a coupl e of months -...

To answer my own question, I found a way of removing Office 97. It's a bit sneaky, but it appears to have worked with no side effects. I installed Office 2003 as an upgrade - we use Office 2003 as standard on our network and that was why i wanted to get rid of Office 97 from this PC, it...

I have been having problems uninstalling Office 97 off a users PC. They did have Outlook 2000 SR-1 installed, which i have uninstalled successfully, but I really want to remove Office. When i try to remove it from the Add/Remove Programs option it first prompts for the Office 97 CD 1 and then...

From what i had read about the DPA it seemed odd to me that just by not using specific software we can be breaking it. It was a salesperson trying to tell me after all, but alarm bells rang. Unfortunately, it's not always that easy to lay your fears to rest about this type of matter. Thanks...

I just received a phone call from a company that has "reliably" informed me that BrightStor Arcserve is not compliant with the data protection act. As far as I'm aware from what I have read, the actually software itself does not have much to do with the actual compliance, as it's more down to...

Well in case anybody else ever happens to have this problem themselves and browses to this thread, I have found a solution to my own problem. Close down any Internet Explorer sessions connecting to the Windows Update site. Then, from the command prompt type (and enter) : net stop wuauserv...

No I can rule out both of those. Our firewall does not block anybody from connecting to Windows Update and we have protections/policies to prevent against spyware. This seems to be more of a software issue relating to the rebuilding process.

A users PC suffered the following problem on startup: Windows XP could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM I was able to get around this using the advice from the Microsoft KB article 307545. Once i got back into windows i then had to...

I would like to generate a file that contains a complete list of every user's SMTP address - including any aliases that they have. It would be preferable that the file generated is a straight text file. Is there any way of doing this in Exchange itself? Or can anybody suggested a program that...

Thanks for the advice, i've got it working now! :)

Hello, I'm a relative newbie as far as Linux is concerned and I'm having problems getting a Java plugin to work for netscape/mozilla. From reference to people who have encountered a similar problem I believe I require the xlibs-dev package. However in all my searching I've found nothing but...

We have a user with an HP XP PC that we tried to add a second monitor to their setup. The setup has worked - after updating the BIOS - but when cold booting the PC will freeze half-way through trying to load XP. I've tried using the "last known config." option on boot-up but this has not...

Our users have two PCs each and on one of the machines a bespoke program has stopped working (the PC is w2k). (It generates an error to be sent to Microsoft.) However if the user connects to the machine via remote desktop from his XP machine the program runs fine. I don't really know much...

Hello, I am trying to print from Linux to a windows based Xerox Printer (DocuCentre 230 LP). So far I have had some success. I have managed to successfully send a test page from the Linux machine to the printer, however the printer had trouble with the file when it received it because of the...

We have a user with a windows XP machine. When we attempt to install web services enhancements on it we are told that the wizard terminated prematurely - or words to that affect. I've tried looking on the microsoft site for some reference to this, but have found nothing. Anyone come across...

Thanks xmsre, Ahh, that makes sense. I couldn't understand how all those errors were being generated without anybody complaining. Thanks again for your help, Bob

This doesn't appear to have affected any of our users, nobody has complained yet, but I still would like to find out what it means. We are getting a warning in our Event Log on our Exchange server. I've taken a look on the microsoft website to find out what it means, and couldn't find...
