sounds like you are stuck till Creative can create a patch for the issue, the only other alternative wouldb e get the newest version of divx to convert the files to divx before you copy it the zen

before you can make changes make sure you have ownership of the folder where that file resides, then you can set the permissions the way that is needed

check the permissions on those files you copied over, they could be your culprit

Powershell is pretty nice! but i think you are looking more for a full blown app... you would have to script PS to do what you wanted (wouldn't be that hard though)

the network configuration part will try and add itself each time to the registry, but if it already finds a key there it will stop the proccess, spysweeper is catching it while it is making that query to see if the key is there (my thought on it)

most sim tests aim to make you score at least 80% so when you go into the real test your chances of passing are better 2 hours and 700 pts to pass

the only MS operating systems that can cluster are server class OS's (2000 and 2003)

ADSI edit would be the closest thing to what you are looking for ADSIedit Overview

Vbscript and powershell would be two big things to focus on, you can call WMI and ADSI from within both of those, another one would be Kix but i am not familiar enough with that one to give any more info on it. Powershell is the futue though if you want to learn one and don't have any prior xp in scripting go with that one Powershell TFM great book for learning about powershell and all it has to offer

Exchange server 2007 and outlook 2003 is the way to go, i know it costs money but i can't think of a way to do it with 2003 (exchange/outlook)

how are you connecting to the DB? IIS 7 handles your DB connections different then 6.0 does. are you hard coding a specific odbc connection for this? or what is the connection string/type you are using? SQL? access? what version of access as well

if you download the latest WHQL signer drivers for your card with those install alright?

easiest way to tell if you are running aero is if your windows has the translucent glass edging. if this is so then Aero is running and you should be able to to 3-d flip

a simpler way would be to do this cd "c:\program files\debugging tools for windows" kd -y srv*c:\symbols*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols -i c:\windows\i386 -z %1 add this to a bat file and then you could just launch the bat file (lets call it dump.bat) from the command line C:\dump.bat <path to dump file> would save you alot of coding time!

traditionally i would say the license would be tied to the motherboard itself, being the "guts" of the computer. the only thing is i don't what will happen changing out the CPU, if it will cause vista to need to be re-activated or not.

also you can have a KMS server local to your domain that can activate Vista machines based on the KMS key you add to it (the server has to activated with MS but that is it)

AD works more around users accounts then computer account, permissoning should be done via users accounts

create a new account in outlook 2007 and let the auto connection wizard create the connection, it is pretty go at getting connections right, or have you tried this already?

HK_Current_user\software\microsoft\windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\user shell folders and HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-<random number>\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders check here to make sure that all the point are going to the location you moved your docs too

PM runs fine on Vista, it will get you the data you are looking for, just make sure to launch it with an administrative account

have any security permission been changed? sounds like permissions to browse those machines has not been setup

microsofts Expression web is the frontpage replacement find it here http://www.microsoft.com/Expression/produc...ew.aspx?key=web

have you tried this yet? Essential System Updates for Microsoft Vista

how are the machines connected? are they getting IPs from a router? can teh machines ping each other (for a command prompt type "ping <computername>) find the IP addresses for both PC's try using the same ping command but instead of the computer name use the Ip address
