  1. Do you mean concerning current and upcoming hardware?
  2. What changes have you made to the server lately? Using full text indexing? Update any firewall or antivirus software? Are there any dump files created? Also can you post the error data and the event source? The Error Data is in the scroll box and looks like hex code. Make sure to use the quote box when posting. Also, the Event Source is at the top of the Event dialog, I am going to guess it is Application Error, but don't want to just presume that. What service pack for Server 2003, which architecture? What version/SP for Exchange? Does this server handle any other roles besides exchange? On your Domain Controller using AD, what is the host OS? The info you posted also shows a "0" which means your debug option is not set, this is an FYI and not a problem. Did you recently install any updates to Acrobat on the server? What version of Acrobat? PDFL60.dll is part of Adobe Distiller. Also check your RAID logs to make sure you have no integrity issues. I had experienced lock ups with my Server 2003 and it was caused by a degraded RAID5.
  3. Have you checked for any log files or events in Event Viewer? Is the installer using InstallShield or MSIEXEC?
  4. The backspace key acting as "Back" or "Last Container/Item in History" comes from a feature that originated in Internet Explorer. When Windows Explorer became integrated with IE back in the day, this function was carried with it. It is working by design that when you press Backspace, it goes "back." It would be nice to go "up" (or cd .. ) because I use this moreso than back. Can you even do a Folder Up in Vista? I never found out how. I do not know of a way to remap the Backspace key to do a keyboard function that is not currently mapped. Is it possible there is a Ctrl, Alt or Shift key combination that will do this? If so, it may be easier to remap the function.
  5. Greetings, You might like this thread: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=67112
  6. update: After merging two threads, the beginning of this is a bit out of whack. My current issue is here, which is post 7 in this thread: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...st&p=846753 One of my many projects is deploying Vista via PXE. I can deploy it using an Attended setup. I want to make it Unattended, so I built an answer file in WSIM and want to try it out. But I do not know where to put the file! I am not using a VM session or an install DVD. Here is my current config: - There are 2 boot images in WDS, one for Windows PE (winpe.wim) and one for "Windows Longhorn Setup" which was made from the BOOT.WIM on the Vista Business DVD. - There are 7 Install Images in the Vista group that were added from INSTALL.WIM on the Vista Business DVD. So I have my Autounattend.xml for Vista Business but I do not know where to put it. Since when you boot the client with PXE, it loads up the BOOT.WIM, then it prompts to connect to the domain and loads the appropriate version of Vista (based upon the selection screen) from the Install Images in WDS. I tried searching for this but have only found people talking about DVDs and UFDs. I can already do this with that, but not the Server I have set up.
  7. Locking topic, please refer to the one linked by Jaclaz.
  8. Asus seems to make really big, wall mountable, notebooks. If you don't believe me, check it out: http://support.asus.com/default.aspx?SLanguage=en-us After the ASUS logo shows in the flash animation, it switches to a picture of a living room with a large notebook mounted to the wall. What is the world coming to? I thought small was in!
  9. And don't forget, if you want to try the keyboard, you don't always have to use WASD for movement. This seems to be popular, but I find it very easy to hit the wrong keys, so I always use the arrow keys for movement, and change the keys around them for other stuff like reload, switch weapon, croutch, etc. As I mentioned above, I haven't played Fallout 3 yet, but the key layout I used for Oblivion was the same I use for Quake 3 and the same I had used for Doom II.
  10. Settings is an option under Start Menu, under older versions of Windows. There are more than one way to make the appearance of Windows so I think this is causing confusion for you. Whichever way you get to Control Panel is fine, as long as you get there. The instructions he gave you were for Windows XP and lower. Also, if you do not see "Add Hardware" in Control Panel, you need to switch to classic view. The default view hides a lot of icons on you. Here are some web pages that tell you how to add new Hardware in Vista: http://www.web-articles.info/e/a/title/Win...ardware-Wizard/ http://www.theeldergeekvista.com/add_hardware_wizard.htm In my experience, when I installed XP into VPC, it just worked and I didn't have to do anything to it, which was probably closer to your first experience.
  11. That doesn't sound too promising really. Its doubtful you'll be able to fix it without replacing the display. It is possible that the connection is lose inside the notebook. Has this been moved into or out of a very cold or freezing area recently?
  12. It should be: -Display Properties -Appearance Tab -Advanced Button -Selected Items "Item"
  13. Have you tried to see if it is at Driverpacks.net? They have 2 XP Audio driver packages. I can't find any information on your motherboard by the information you gave. You would need to post the model number, and maybe you can find it here: http://www.inno3d.com/support/download_inno3d.html Other promising sites I found on google were in China (.cc?) and are blocked by my firewall.
  14. 1. What version of NAV? 2. Have you ever gotten that version to install on a clean Vista x64?

  16. Typically, I try to use the same keys for all games. The first thing I ever do after installing a new (FPS for example) game is to redo the keys. I can't stand using controllers for FPS, and I am terrible playing games on XBOX or anything else. I use my mouse with really high sensitivity, so I can't stand the sluggishness of controllers.
  17. I must admit that my cable experience does come from the knowledge of how 1 company operates, and their sibling companies. So it could be true that other companies or areas are different.
  18. My first thought is heat. I know my modem seems to get very warm for such a little thing.
  19. I believe the answer is that you can't boot from the VM Additions ISO. You can mount it but it can only be "installed" from within an existing (virtual) OS. Is this correct? I was confused about this in the past as well, and I had to relearn that lesson too!
  20. Perhaps adding the User accounts that the DCs use? Of course you did add your Domain Controllers into that group right? And are you enforcing known vs. unknown computers?

  22. CTF = CT seems to be CreateThread, my best guess is CreateThread Failed, but can't find a good enough answer about it. TIP = Text Input Processor http://support.microsoft.com/kb/282599
  23. this is correct. This installs several drivers (mouse, video, shared folders). you can try old shooters like Quake 3 if you want to play them inside a VM. I still play Quake 3 at home...
  24. Seems to be caused by a corrupt template. However, these specific files have language codes in them: 1044 = Norwegian (Bokmål) 1028 = Chinese (Taiwan) Language Code list here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd346950.aspx If you are not servicing any clients or applications that make use of these language, it may be safe to delete or move these files. You may encounter DEP messages if you try this, however. Here is a little hint to the situation: Source (google Cache) Also http://blog.mattsampson.net/index.php?blog=1&m=20090203 Some links to Technet http://social.technet.microsoft.com/forums...b-0524550cb277/
  25. Are these local policies or are you applying a Domain GP, also if so, what Server are you using?
