I've seen the problem you're describing -- where Windows times out a network connection after a brief period, and then reawakens it when you click on the drive. I have a memory in the back of my mind that you can toggle a registry setting to change the time Windows waits before doing this --...

I found the culprit! My users were switching language settings on me! The workstations default to Australian English -- but many documents they process were created in US English. They've been setting up their autocorrect in a manner that associates it with the Australian setting. Then...

We've been upgrading our workstations to Windows 2000 Pro. The server is Nt 4.0. The upgrade has gone smoothly for the most part. The past week, however, we've been experiencing a problem connecting to shared resources housed on various workstations. We were connecting well for several days...

Next question.. ;-) Can I grant the user rights to the registry without making them a power user or an admin? Thanks :-)

Since upgrading to Windows 2000, we've been experiencing a problem with Word 2000 Autocorrect. Word will remember new autocorrect entries only during that session -- as soon as the workstation is shut down, those entries are erased. Autotext entries are saved with no problems... Has anyone...

I've been trying to install PageMaker 6.5 Plus in Windows 2000. Problem is, I can't seem to get the program to be visible in all profiles -- you seem to have to be logged in as an admin to see that it's there. What do I need to do to make the program accessible to all users of the machine?

I should have mentioned -- I can transfer over their normal.dot file, as well. That covers me for their macros and, of course, their template -- but not for autocorrect... Autotext moves over just fine when I transfer the .acl file. What confuses me is that I had thought that autocorrect and...

You need to set up a user account on the W2k machine -- only users set up on that machine can access shares. What you're seeing by default (\\PCNAME\\$IPC ) is a generic admin share... You can also, as stated above, enable the guest account -- it's just gives broader access than enabling an...

I've tried the uninstall/reinstall process -- no help there. But I will try adding everyone to the temp and spool directories -- sounds promising... ;-) Thanks...

One final question: I find that, when I import the .acl file from Word 97 to Word 2000, the autotext data is preserved, but the autocorrect data is not. Is there any way to import that autocorrect data? I have staff members threatening to quit because their new computers won't import their...

You can also go to the Tools menu, then to services (or accounts, depending). This will enable you to call up a screen where you add features to outlook. Select "personal folders" from the scroll-list, and choose "add". A dialogue box will pop up that enables you to change...

When you are in the message creation screen, you should see a small pull-down menu (one of those little downward-pointing triangles) beside the "send" button at the left hand corner of the menu. If you select this, you will see a list of the all the profiles from which you can send...

One more newbie question... One of my departments uses a shared Excel spreadsheet that they all update. I originally created it in Excel 97, and had no difficulty "freezing" the top row of the spreadsheet, so that they could alphabetise entries in the other rows without dislodging...

I need to upgrade several workstations to Outlook 2000. They are using Outlook 97 as a mail client and for contact lists -- I've done that uprgade many times with no problems. However, they are also using MS Schedule to maintain their calendars. The issue here is that each manager needs to...

The problem would most likely be caused by the fact that your user account associated you with "domain" -- not with "workgroup". W2k wants your password to apply to a specific domain or workgroup or machine -- so your old user account will no longer apply. However, you...

I've been having a similar problem -- with an HP 2100 TN. In this case, I *can* print to it, but everything I print comes out of tray 2 if I'm not logged in as an admin. I've tried setting privileges over the printer as broadly as possible. The option to select a paper tray comes up outside...
