Have you tested the netstat command ? You havn't posted the result.

I use Robocopy from admin pack of win2k3 http://www.ss64.com/nt/robocopy.html

If you are sure your data is copied/saved/moved completely, you can unplug directly your key without any problem (wait 5s after copy operation for example). The eject function scan handles on the usb key and if are present it says close all programs, if empty it just says you can remove your key (and disconnect from device manager to disable the key). When the usb key is new, we try to use Eject function but after many uses you unplug & replug directly ...I do that with mine and I havn't any corrupt data.

Posting oembios file are okay, isn't it ? A small package will be interesting ...

yes

Yzöwl always the best ^^

Sultix what you want to do is what I do and works perfectly, great work again to the wpi team.

or same window but with other way : Winkey+R -> winver

You havn't installed the graphic card drivers properly. Download latest drivers according to your model and install and reboot. (You can know your model with software like Everest Home Edition)

Exaclty what I custom for this new menu, put the content into a new reg file. Sure you can adjust that to your needs. REGEDIT4 [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.bmp\ShellNew] [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.rtf\ShellNew] [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.wav\ShellNew] [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.zip\CompressedFolder\ShellNew] [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.zip\ShellNew] [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.cab\ShellNew] [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.tgz\ShellNew] [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.tar\ShellNew] [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.lzh\ShellNew] [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.lha\ShellNew] [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.jar\ShellNew] [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.gz\ShellNew] [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.rar\ShellNew] [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.bfc\ShellNew] [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.doc\Word.Document.8\ShellNew] [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.xls\Excel.Sheet.8\ShellNew] [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.ppt\PowerPoint.Show.8\ShellNew] [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mpp\MSProject.Project.9\ShellNew] [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mdb\Access.Application.11\ShellNew] [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.vsd\Visio.Drawing.11\ShellNew] [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.odg\opendocument.DrawDocument.1\ShellNew] [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.odp\opendocument.ImpressDocument.1\ShellNew] [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.ods\opendocument.CalcDocument.1\ShellNew] [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.odt\opendocument.WriterDocument.1\ShellNew] [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.psd\ShellNew]

Auto slap me x10 ! You are right Yzöwl, I have answer too fast, I havn't checked the result. Moreover I have myself a regfile to delete/custom this menu !!! Btw, you can just try two times the "new" menu to look if new items are present.

Cleaned, I have posted very wrong solution

- Windows Media key: I think it's for identify the PC for transfer music/data to portable devices like MP3 players, IMHO you can re-set the value to the current name to avoid bugs. - ShellNoRoam key: You can delete ShellNoRoam key, it's for caching data ... it will be regenerated alll the time ... BTW, if you don't change these keys, there arn't any problems with network.

MaciekMR is right. I use always 3DMark2001 to check stability of old machines and the install is always be done in silent mode ...

So at your enterprise you have a VPN server and at home you use a VPN client. The connection allow to access one computer or all the local network of your enterprise ? btw, How do you check the vpn connection ?

Don't forget these too ... [Data] UnattendedInstall="Yes" [Unattended] UnattendSwitch=Yes edit: I havn't AutomaticUpdates=Yes and no intervention is required for Home, Pro (OEM or VLK)

On your current system ? or for future installation ?

Is your CD is nLited ? I assume you have XP Pro because "Local users and groups" isn't available on Home Edition.

Have you got a third-party firewall ? Check if webserver is really active with that command from cmd prompt netstat -an | find "LISTENING" and check if :80 if listening. Make sure you havn't any other program listen the port 80. (Like yahoo messenger for example.)

You can disable it with these regkeys http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=74092

Have you overclocked your system ?

It's seems to be the same problem as an another topic, try the solution found http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=75217

It's the same. REG is the win32 console application allow more than IMPORT function, you can edit directly values of your regkey. Regedit32 is the win32 gui editor which accepts .reg on the command line, that's all. edit: There is an advantage to use "regedit /s Regfile.reg" : Compatibility with older Windows.

Just for info, this question appears because Guest account is disabled.

It's host problem, unshare all folders, disable simple file sharing, reboot, re-enable simple file sharing, and re-share folders, windows will ask you confirmation to activate simple sharing.
