Ran into an issue with an application installed on XP Pro with IIS running. Whenever we tried to hit hte web page, the page could not be displayed. We found that the World Wide Web Publishing Service was hung on “Starting”. We could not Restart the service and a reboot did not work. We also we unable to launch the IIS application.

The ONLY thing that worked was running an “iisreset” from the command prompt.

We have a client who wanted/needed the ability to use multiple display when working from home via RDP. They are remotely to their work PC directly.

The only way I was able to get this to work was to havae the EXACT same display resolution on both of the remote monitors and launch the RDP client from the “Run” command as follows:

mstsc /span

Hope this helps!

Most flash drives are formatted FAT32 and the maximum size of any file under FAT32 is 4Gb. Therefore as far as Windows is concerned, the drive is full because it won’t talk to anything bigger than a 4Gb file.

After uninstalling a trial version of Microsoft Visio 2007 I received the following error after attempting open Outlook which I am using via an RPC over HTTP setup.

Ran into a brief problem installing a Dell 1710n on a small network. I connected the printer to the router, accessed the webpage via the DCHP address, adn configured all the appropriate settings. I then downloaded the drivers from Dell. There were actually 2 packaged together in 1 zip file; a PS and HBP. I have no idea what the HBP driver was so I installed the Post Script drivers.

After creating a port and installing the drivers on Win2003 Server, I could not print. It wasn’t until I downloaded and ran the Dell Print Server Utility that detects the printer that I was able to print even though I could get to the printer by IP and the TCP/IP port was configured

Outlook blocked access to the following potentially unsafe attachments.

I accessed another network via terminal services in an effort to grab the contacts and notes out of a Exchange mailbox. I created a new profile, setup the mailbox, created a new .pst, created new folders in the .pst for the contacts and notes, then copied them over from the mailbox to the new .pst. I then saved the .pst and e-mailed it to myself. When I opened Outlook on my home computer Outlook stated: “Outlook blocked access to the following potentially unsafe attachments.” Here is the link from Microsoft site that explains how to modify the registry to allow unsafe attachments in Outlook: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/829982
