No, but if you don't need to use the VSS components, you can get back a good deal of hard disk space by going to the properties of the drive and disabling the Shadow Copies from the Shadow Copies tab.

Can you do the following for me? 1. Please add the following system environment variable to your system Variable Name: _NT_SYMBOL_PATH Variable Value: SRV*c:\websymbols*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols;c:\websymbols 2. Create a folder on your C: drive called websymbols (c:\websymbols) 3. Open the dump via windbg, and run the following commands: !analyze -v ~*kb Paste the output here, because what you've posted thus far tells me nothing. I need to know what was calling into ntdll, and what called that, etc...

You sure you followed this closely? It should work...

np - glad I could help

There was an issue with that update, but the fix was included in the next IE cumulative update (and any others going forward will include the activex changes as well). You need to encapsulate the control in a js going forward, or do not use the Object tag to embed it (that's why it's failing to activate - IE cumulative updates since April '06 will no longer allow this due to the EOLAS patent lawsuit).

Robocopy can do this. http://www.ss64.com/nt/robocopy.html Output: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ROBOCOPY :: Robust File Copy for Windows ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Started : Thu Dec 14 17:25:16 2006 Source : C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Temp\ Dest : F:\ Files : bigfile.iso Options : /COPY:DAT /R:1000000 /W:30 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1 C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Temp\ 100% New File 1.4 g bigfile.iso ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Total Copied Skipped Mismatch FAILED Extras Dirs : 1 0 1 0 0 0 Files : 1 1 0 0 0 0 Bytes : 1.456 g 1.456 g 0 0 0 0 Times : 0:01:45 0:01:45 0:00:00 0:00:00 Speed : 14782954 Bytes/sec.

Windows does not support multiple gateways (and it works very erratic when more than one is configured, btw). The only way to have multiple paths is to create static routes using the ROUTE command in a command prompt. Just type "ROUTE" in a command prompt to see how it works.

If the same CD works fine in VMWare but not real hardware, then assuming you've installed NO software before attempting one that doesn't display any progress data, in both the VM and on real hardware, then the difference is drivers.

First things first - Dr Watson is a just-in-time (JIT) debugger, meaning it gets called when an application has encountered a second-chance exception it did not handle. If your applications weren't crashing, it's likely you would never see Dr Watson - so to get to the root cause, track down the source of the application crashes when closing them, don't shoot the messenger (Dr Watson) - that will solve nothing.

If this is on a PC where doing this won't be considered malicious (preferrably on your own machines, or testing company security from an IT admin point of view), then this can be done via a system command prompt. I won't tell you how to get one, because there are a myriad of ways to do it.

Win95 was a very hated OS - and now most people will say that Win95 (or Win98) was the best OS produced by Microsoft. How time changes things...

Not entirely sure, but you are correct - command prompt drag and drop was disabled in Vista. However, if you hold shift when right-clicking on a file, you will get the "Copy as path" option, which you can then paste into the command prompt.

This might help you (script is about halfway down the page): http://www.planet-source-code.com/vb/scrip...03&lngWId=1 Next time, consider posting this question in the Programming section of the forums for a quicker answer. Moving post there.

Not sure, but if you can get me a process dump of iexplore.exe when this is occurring I can probably tell you what's happening. First, install the "Debugging Tools for Windows" from: http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/deb...installx86.mspx Once these tools are installed, do the following: 1. Create a directory called c:\adplus 2. Open a command prompt and change to the directory where you installed the debugging tools. By default, this is "C:\Program Files\Debugging Tools for Windows" 3. Open IE and reproduce the problem 4. Type the following command in the command prompt: cscript adplus.vbs -hang -pn iexplore.exe -o c:\adplus This should generate a hang dump of iexplore.exe in C:\adplus, that can be analyzed via windbg or cdb. If you don't feel comfortable doing it, I can do it if you PM me.

Sounds like the ActiveX changes are hitting your code (this will happen after installing the IE ActiveX update from April of this year, when running the code in the "Local Computer" zone - the control activation is being blocked by the shell). If you follow these instructions to call your control from an external js, it should work: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default....ing_activex.asp

What exactly are you hoping to do, and why are you doing is as a limited-rights user?

Does this happen when using all access points, or just one?

It depends on the application, but most applications will not run if the actual framework they were written to is not installed. This is due to the fact that all framework files for each version are stored in different folcers. In general, no, backwards compatibility does not work between framework versions.

I was able to get around this today by adding 2 CD rom drives to my image - the first pointing to my actual CD drive, and the second to the Vista .iso. Give that a try.

I agree that a simple vbs script should be able to populate the autologon settings and such, and it could probably run as a machine startup script and have the permissions necessary. However, since this would run during every system boot, getting it to selectively logon specific users on specific boots would require some careful vbscripting.

Actually, .net 3.0 ships with Vista. If you want to use .net 2.0 or 1.1 apps, you'll need to install the redistributable.

WU requires the .dll's, but not the .exe. If you've locked down only iexplore.exe, WU should still work.

WINS is optional, and if you aren't sure where it is, you probably don't have it installed or configured. As to the errors, if you enter in your ISP's DNS settings, this will happen eventually. You have to remove those and use forwarders for AD DNS to work properly - no other DNS servers should be configured on any client or server machines than the ones on your own network (other than the ISP's DNS servers on the forwarders tab of your DNS server, of course). If things are slow when this is configured, check with your ISP to make sure of whether or not to enable recursion.
