to clarify further. my keyboard and mouse are PS2. you plug the keyboard and mouse into the front jacks of the KVM. the video cable (15 pin DIN) is a combination cable. it includes 2 cables that have PS2 jacks on the end and they plug into the normal PS2 jacks on the computer. But they are not used for the keyboard and mouse. They supply power to the KVM. It's the usb cable that comes out from the KVM that passes the keyboard and mouse signals to the computer. I know that sounds like a weird way to do it. So it's the whole USB part of this that is giving me trouble.

first, thanks for your reply. It is the TrendNet TK210-K. It has the TI chip in it. It should be viewed by the OS as a composite device. The TI chip is considered a USB hub. and after that it presents itself as a composite device that has 2 more functions. The keyboard and mouse. I don't know if this will help but here are the registry entries I have tried already. This might give you an idea of what the OS is expecting.under the \enum key.

It's somewhat helpful in understanding how it is setup but 98se uses a completely different way of setting up USB than ME. The problem, according to Googles AI, is that ME was born in that transition era between the older, 95 & 98, way and the just being introduced WDM way that ME uses. And what this KVM does is take your PS2 inputs for the keyboard and mouse and translates them into USB packets sent out thru the supplied USB cable that you plug into the back of the computer. So it is not a simple pass-thru. It is pass-thru for the monitor and audio. I hope that's enough for you to understand and if it's not just reply and let me know what else you need. Thanks.

Anybody ever install a KVM in Millennium. Unsuccessful so far even with AI help with registry entries. Cannot do it the normal PnP way. Millennium's PnP is broken when it comes to this kind of device. Have 2 computers that I would like to share without swapping cables all the time. this one computer has 98se Millennium and xp pro on it. both 98se and xp pro have installed it without a problem but millennium refuses. Any help appreciated.

Thanks for the heads up. What add blocker do you recommend that will work with Chromium? I just went to that add blocker test site and got a 52/100. That's still not good.

It's one of the things i hate. almost every download site wants to download and install some download helper app or something. It wasn't always that way. i remember when you could just download the file and be done with it. I'm using Supermium (Chrome) and i thought add blocking was built in. isn't it?

the reason it requires .net 4 is that helge was transitioning from win32 to .net coding. version 2.1.3 is win32 and supports xp. version 3 is all .net but has a bug problem with the os so it doesn't work on xp

No problems. Is there some other way to transfer that file over? Thanks. I downloaded 2 files because I thought after that it would let me proceed to what I was really after but I know better than to install anything that doesn't look right. So I deleted them. There was no other download button other than that green one.

Yes. The SetACL suite I downloaded does. When I clicked on it to install it I got the message that .net Framework 4.0 needs to be installed first. Can't tell you the version because it didn't install. but this is the date on the certificate: Monday May 27, 2013 10:21:06 AM So i would expect that it was the version that was released on or near that date.

Thanks. Sorry for delayed reply. I've been dealing with a sewer backup into my basement from all the rain we've had here both Saturday and Sunday. Anyway, Do I need to register to download the file? The website wants to install something that is not SetACL. So just for the heck of it I followed it thru and it first downloaded a free VPN, app then something else which I downloaded just to get past all the hurdles but it wouldn't go any farther. The files were 19MB. I know SetACL isn't that big. Here's what it was : Application Application Handsome 19.0 MB (19,957,832 bytes) So that;s why I ask if I have to register to download the real deal without all that other stuff.

Sounds like you did everything I did too. Everything just lead to a dead end. But thanks for trying.

The SetACL Suite at that link requires .net framework 4.0 to be installed. i was hoping to pull the standalone executable out with WinRAR but it's an MSI. The standalone version I was looking for doesn't require .net framework installed. So I guess I may have to install .net 4 just to use it for this project. I can always uninstall it when I'm done. You're probably right but I have no experience writing scripts.

Yeah it did! That's the same thing I got when I went to the Wayback Machine. It just dead-ended there. I checked every Google search result and couldn't find a link to it. Usually I can find what I'm looking for. And usually someone here knows where to find it or has it and makes it available. I just went to the link you provided and downloaded it. Hopefully the specific command I need to use is in that version. What I need to do is change the "OWNER" field of every occurance of an orphaned SID in the "OWNER" field to the Administrator account. Subinacl can't do that. It can't target just the "OWNER" field based on the orphaned SID and replace it with the Administrator account. What I need is something that can do this logic: Look at the "OWNER" field of every file/folder If the field contains an orphaned SID then replace the orphaned SID with the Administrator account Endif I want to avoid replacing the "OWNER" if it's owned by "NT AUTHORITY/SYSTEM" That's what Subinacl can't do but SetACL can. I'm also going to contact Helge and see if he can make available the version 2.1.3.for me. Thanks for the help.

Anyone know where I can download the zip file for SetACL 2.1.3? i downloaded the version 3.0 zip which doesn't work on XP. Something about a bug in the OS check. It was the only one I could find. Everything else Googles AI suggested dead ended. You'd think somewhere out there is an archived copy.

Thanks. I'll check it out.

I found some orphaned SIDs' in my xp pro system and I'd like to get rid of them. Using acceschk if found that some of them are the owners of some files/folders. Is there a way to use SetACL to locate the invalid (orphaned) SID as the "OWNER" and replace it with the Administrator account. I know I can use subinacl to delete all the occurances of the orphaned SID with the cleandeletedsidsfrom= command but this will also remove them from the "OWNER" field as well and will leave the file/folder with no owner. That might cause problems so I would like to avoid that. This is the logic of the command I would like to do: Look at the "OWNER" field in every file/folder If the "OWNER" field contains the orphaned SID Then Replace it with the Administrator account Endif Can this be done with SetACL? If so could you provide the proper syntax for the command? This is the command that Google's AI gave me but it doesn't look right: SetACL -on "D:\Program Files" -ot file -actn setowner -ownr "n:S-1-5-21-299502267-113007714-1177238915-1004;s:y" -rec cont_obj .-on: The object name (your path) .-ot: Object type (file/directory) .-actn setowner: Targets only the owner field .-ownr: The "n:" denotes the new owner (or you can use "n:Administrators") .-rec cont_obj: Recursively applies this to files and subfolders. I don't see where it's replacing the orphaned SID with the Administrator account. It looks more like a global replace of all "OWNERS" with the orphaned SID or the administrator account. That's not what I want since that will also replace "NT AUTHORITY/SYSTEM" on files that are rightfully owned by the system.
