I dont think you can set a default printer before somebody logs on as its a current_user thing in the registry... I think... although I might be wrong

yep try deleting all cached information in your browser. Also try doing a reset of all browser settings. Those worked for me If all fails, try using Firefox.... its better than IE anyway

well the users have the right click on the start menu disabled so I'm not sure how else they could do that. Thanks for your reply anyway , I appreciate it

Hi, I've got a small issue with Folder Redirection. I can't seem to understand why the icons are not arranged in any sensible order in the start menu redirection... Is there any way in Group Policy to sort this out because I think it's really annoying... (ok not that annoying , but fairly irritating)

I think taking out the dodge double jump and the adrenaline feature was a bit of a disappointment. I can understand newbies to the game not liking those features but for others who have been playing for years it made the game so fast paced and fun. in UT3 I'm finding myself trying to dodge double jump .. It's quite annoying.

I run it on a 7900GTX and I have all details on full (Except the vertical Sync thing) That seems to decrease performance and doesn't really look any different. Graphics are ok but I wouldn't say they are Breathtaking after seeing other titles around lately. But the beauty about Unreal is not the graphics but the high octane addrenilin action... UT3 doesn't seem as polished as it's older brother UT2004

Although Pro Evolution Soccer 6 with 2 v 2 group games was amazing..... But ofcourse Konami decided to ruin everything and screw us all in PES 7... Well they ain't getting my money this year

Unreal Tournament Games have always been the best online sport . They have seemed to have gone a bit backwards in UT3 which is dissappointing...although a patch may arrive soon that could change that...hope so..

I disabled USB in Active Directory once... I got so much grief from it that I never did that again... Just personally my opinion. Best wishes

Ok well I've figured it out myself after a lot of messing about deleting keys in the registry. These are the locations where I needed to remove the keys to stop the printers keep reappearing when I restarted the spooler. FOR ANYONE ELSE WHO HAS OR IS EXPERIENCING A SIMILAR ISSUE ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- reg delete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Print\Connections\,,mh-print,rm53-cl" /f reg delete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Print\Connections\,,mh-print,rm54-cl" /f reg delete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Control\Print\Connections\,,mh-print,rm53-cl" /f reg delete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Control\Print\Connections\,,mh-print,rm54-cl" /f * These go in a batch file that is run on the GPO Startup on the OU containing your computers... Now when the spooler restarts, these printers don't show up ... Job done I really feel like going up to the devolpers at microsoft and telling them that they really are overlooking how complicated setting up printers on a network can be. It annoys me a lot.. Anway thanks to all who posted here.

This is how I used to do it.. And this was in the GPO Startup for the computers OU REM ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /ga /n \\Room52-1\room52-bl /j"LanMan Print Services" Net Stop Spooler Net Start Spooler REM ----------------------

Have you tried changing the wireless channel of the router?

so how would I use the rundll32.exe against printui.dll to uninstall an old printer (connected to a server) eg \\mh-print\RM53-CL I looked on the link u gave me but I couldn't make sense of the uninstall printer command.. And would I run this command after I have run the pushprinterconnection.exe in the GPO Startup? thanks

am I missing something or just being stupid. My apologies if I am just being in id*** .. I'm using the pushprinterconnection.exe which is put in the GPO Startup of the OU that contains the room computers Ok so when the user logs in, I go to their printers and faxes folder and its blank for about 10 seconds... and then as if by magic the printers suddenly appear... (INCLUDING THE ONE THAT WAS CONNECTED TO THE OLD SERVER) It is driving me insane. I have tried putting another script in the GPO startup that deletes the printer. I have even tested the script and it removes the printer but it seems as soon as the spooler is restarted the printer shows its ugly face again!!! I located the rogue printer its in the current user printer connections in the registry.. I even then tried to delete the key on the logon script... the key was deleted successfully... but then seconds later when the spooler starts again and the pushprinterconnection installs the new printer... the OLD SERVER PRINTER REAPPEARS as if by magic!!! I Just can't get rid of the **** thing... I looked in the registry and its added the local user printer connection to the old printer AGAIN!!! I have checked everything and I'm not running any scripts to install the OLD PRINTER... Its just driving me crazy... I HATE PRINTERS Thanks

Hi I have a small problem with printers on a network Recently I have upgraded to windows server 2003 R2 and have setup the Printer Management Console. By using the pushprinterconnections.exe in the computer startup policy I have added the printers to the computers successfully depending on what OU the computers are in.. But my problem is that there are the old Printer connections from the old print server in the current user in the registry of each PC and everytime the user logs in they get the new printer and also the old printer connection. And it seems to default to the old printer connection instead of the new on, which is not helpful.. Is there anyway I can remove the old printer eg.. \\oldserver\oldprinter ? I have located the printer In the registry and it is under the current user > Printer connections and it looks something like " ,,oldserver,,oldprinter I have tried so many different scripts and batch files to remove the printers but they just dont seem to be doing the job... Where am I supposed to put a script? In the Computer Startup policy also or in the user startup policy?? It needs to remove the old printer from each current user when they log in. Seems like working with printers on a large network with roaming profiles can be a real headache...

might be something in the bios that causes the problem..

i dont think this is possible.... but i suppose you could use an animated gif or something.

google, that's the best friend of any IT expert that I know of I also found that writing a support call desk web page was helpful so instead of getting phone calls with ppl who don't know what they are talking about, they had to log a call on the online web page. then I can just see the calls appear and look at them and it's often a lot easier to think of a solution to the issue.

if you know a bit of vb.net then this following example should get you started: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <%@ Page Language="C#" ContentType="text/html" ResponseEncoding="iso-8859-1" %> <%@ Import Namespace="System.Data" %> <%@ Import Namespace="System.Data.OleDb" %> <%@ Import Namespace="System.Xml" %> <script runat="server"> DataSet ds = new DataSet(); protected void Page_Load(Object Src, EventArgs E) { string connectionstring = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source="+ Server.MapPath("Database/events.mdb") +";"; string sql = "select * from tblevents"; OleDbDataAdapter da = new OleDbDataAdapter(sql, connectionstring); da.Fill(ds, "tblevents"); } protected void eventscalendar_DayRender(Object Src, DayRenderEventArgs E) { StringBuilder strEvents = new StringBuilder(); strEvents.Append("<span style=\"font-size:60%\">"); if (E.Day.IsOtherMonth) E.Cell.Controls.Clear(); foreach (DataRow row in ds.Tables["tblevents"].Rows) { DateTime eventdate = (DateTime)row["startingdate"]; if (eventdate.Equals(E.Day.Date)) if (E.Day.IsOtherMonth) strEvents.Append("<br />"); else strEvents.Append("<br />" + row["eventtitle"]); } strEvents.Append("</span>"); E.Cell.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl(strEvents.ToString())); } </script> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title>Event Calendar</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <style type="text/css"> <!-- .style1 {font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif} --> </style> </head> <body> <form runat="server"> <span class="style1"> <asp:calendar DayStyle-HorizontalAlign="right" ID="eventcalendar" runat="server" backcolor="#FFFFCC" ShowGridLines="true" OnDayRender="eventscalendar_DayRender"></asp:calendar> </span> </form> </body> </html>

i've always used the intel pro 100's or the realtek ones.. norton seems to like them

maybe try altering your refresh rate.. maybe put it down to 60hz and see if that helps

its not windows firewall causing your problem is it? I've had that before.

I use desktop redirection for that ... It can be a pain to make it work properly but when it does it's very good.

have you tried running the sysprep without using the command line to do so? eg running the sysprep app by double clicking on it. Also, has your image got a lot of programs running in the task bar? Sometimes you may find programs that do not close down properly and can cause the system to hang. try stopping any programs from running in the task bar, msconfig may be useful.

first check that you don't have a static ip address for your network connection
