If the hard drive didn't come out of a computer with the same hardware as what yours is, you have to do a fresh install. This is because of the HAL differences. Google it, it's a VERY widely known issue.

Call me stupid, but I don't think Windows 95 was designed to handle 20" Widescreen monitors, much less widescreen monitors in general. On top of that I doubt the newest drivers are going to play all that well with a 14 year old operating system...Dam I feel old.

I'm not sure it was just an idea I really don't know about trusts, I've never put one in place

have you tried logging into domain B, creating the group, and then finding that group while creating the share on domain A?

about twice as long as it takes to install it once, plus testing.

wininstall LE, i believe you can find it on the windows server 2000, and maybe even 2003 install cds.

short answer: no

I'm assuming it means there were problems installing it on Vista before.

I say go for the quad and more max memory, this way you will be able to run more VMs at once and you get 4 cores.

I think Vista works great if you have the system for it. Just ordered a ThinkPad T61 with 2.4 GHz C2D and 4 gigs of ram, 320 gig drive, so this should be great. I have it running on a 2.0 GHz C2D with 4 gigs of ram now and it works great. A few small application compatibility issues but other than that it's great, I have ways around them.

Just curious, what is your personal laptop brand preference, and what do you use at work (If you're an IT pro, or other.)
I have a Dell Latitude D830 and am fed up with dell's customer "care" so i just bought a lenovo ThinkPad T61
looking forward to you rinput

I don't think the registry is even there at t-39...hardly anything is there.

I've witnessed this on four computers now over the last week.
I started with a fresh install on my desktop with a Linksys WMP54G wireless card in my desktop, first time installing with the card installed. Fresh install of Vista x64 Business SP1. SVChost is spiking to 100% from the Network Service user, kill the service and all is fine. After 4 hours of troubleshooting I find that it's because of the linksys card, pull it out, fresh install works fine.
Now it's a different story with the other three. All workstations are running fine until the end of last week when we all noticed the systems starting to lag quite a bit. looking at the task manager shows svchost from the network service spiking to 100% cpu usage, none of these boxes have linksys wireless cards, mainly broadcom and intel, and wireless is not being used at the time. systems will continue to lag until the svchost service is killed. One of the boxes is running Vista SP1 x64 Business, another running Vista SP1 x86 Ultimate, and another running Vista SP1 x86 Home Premium. All are laptops. No one has noticed anything on any desktops except for the issue described in the last paragraph, which seems unrelated. All of these current three systems had no issues until about a week ago. All are patched to current patch level. We are all suspecting a current windows update. Other flaky issues it causes;
I will be connected to the internet, and everything works fine, MSN Messenger, Skype, VMWARE bridged to ethernet internet works, Opera works fine. however the network icon in the corner will have a warning sign over the icon.
I also had this morning, where it appeared to start shutting down services randomly very quick, and then reboots. After that it worked fine but svchost would still spike.
As of now we are using task manager to kill the process as needed. It seems as though in some situations if the computer is on long enough it does not bother but the process still needs to be killed a few times before it stops trying. Using process explorer shows no sub processes running under THIS instance of svchost so nothing is 100% obvious to me yet, once it happens again I will report the PID number that it runs as.
As of now we are just curious as to whether anyone else is seeing any issues.
Thanks for any input in advance.

What are you hitting cancel to exactly? maybe post a screenshot? I've never setup an auto login after install on my builds, but maybe I'd learn something and be able to help you out a bit better. Is it an option to disable CTRL+ALT+DEL on logon screen via AD GPO?

OK, another thing i was considering is maybe is there a setting I can set in the office deploy MSI and deploy it through GPO? or could you help me with this script? I am a complete VBscript noob
Thanks again.

Set it up as a scheduled task?

I don't think that's what I'm looking for. I did look at that and thought that it could only make the said user an exchange administrator. I just want to make this user a delegate of all other mailboxes and be able to send messages "on behalf of" the other users.

Hi, We're "learning" exchange in my network applications class at tech. We aren't exactly being taught these things and we need to find out how to do them. Exchange is insatlled and so far is working. However What I need, is to be able to delegate one specific user to have editor access to ALL exchange mailboxes and calendars. I know how to do this in outlook, but you have to configure it for EACH and EVERY user by opening outlook under their account, tools, options, delegation. Is there any way I can set this up in system manager so that it takes affect to ALL current users and all users created here-after.
Thanks in advance I really appreciate it!

since its only that machine have you considered that it's maybe a hardware error?
Maybe try a PCI nic and disable the onboard one?

You know, it's funny. A friend of mine works for a comptuer repair shop, and they aren't allowed to use anything that makses much sense to me. When a customer comes in and complains that they don't have the admin password, they take cmd.exe and rename it to narrator.exe or whatever that accessibility tool is so that when they push "Windows+U" (I think that's the key combo) it brings up a cmd window instead. Sounds stupid I know, but that's what they do.

You may want to try 2.0 for that new HP you're talking about that has driver issues. All my machines that wouldn't work with pe 1.x worked great with PE2.0...these machines are less than 1.5 years old.

Vista troubleshooters: HELP!

Drivers? Any chance you're running 32 bit or 64 bit and those downloads are designed for 64 bit or 32 bit?
