I am using gprint as a shell call to print pdf files. I have to install the network printer first, but the program runs under a different account. Is there anyway to install a network printer under Windows XP so that it is available to all accounts on the machine?

I have Remote Assistance working but not Remote Desktop.
XP Firewall has exceptions for both Remote Assistance and Remote Desktop. Remote Desktop is allowed in System Properties - Remote.
What could be the problem?
In Windows 7 I get the following checkbox option in Remote Desktop options:
Is there any way to update my Remote Desktop / Terminal Services on my XP (SP3) machine to the same version so I can have multi-monitor support there too?
I recently asked a question on here, and thought I had it working... Here is a link to it.
Windows XP Installation problems
So basically I'm having trouble getting XP installed. To sum it up, a computer I have had a boot sector virus, and I used Darik's Nuke and Boot to wipe the hard drive clean.
So the hard drive has nothing on it. I had to try and install Windows through a DOS prompt, because for some reason it won't read it off the DVD. The UBCD is able to look at the files located on the DVD I have in, but I can't boot from it for some reason. So I extracted it to a USB drive, booted to DOS and started the setup process.
Here's the weird thing with DOS... It can only find the C: drive. The C: drive in DOS is the flash drive that I have in, running DOS. I can't find the hard drive anywhere!
So anyways, after starting the setup process, it copied the files over to the "hard drive" (which took 16 hours because the version of DOS I ran couldn't run smartdrv.exe), and it said the computer had to reboot. So I let it reboot, and it stopped and said there is no boot device. So I popped in UBCD that I have installed on a flash drive, and I discovered that it had copied the Windows files over to the flash drive and not the hard drive. It never asked where it should extract the files...
So I toyed around with UBCD, ran a memory test on the hard drive to make sure it was fine, and it came out clean.
So I'm stuck now. How can I get this installed?
Writing this, I came up with an idea. If I copy the DOS startup files over to the hard drive, would I be able to start DOS from it? If so, I believe that could fix my problems.
Any help is greatly appreciated, because I am running out of ideas and am at my wits end with this computer.
My entire monitor flashes black for a second or so when starting any video file. It does the same thing when closing the file. It also does this when opening a folder that has video files and a thumbnail view, or when I do anything that presumably accesses the video stream inside a video file.
It happens in VLC and Windows Media Player, though it occurs to me certain video editors I have like avidemux and virtualdub don't have that issue when opening video files... It also does not happen when watching flash-based videos on web sites.
It doesn't seem to happen when Quicktime.
I went through and uninstalled any extraneous programs a week or so ago and didn't see any change.
I also updated the graphics card driver.
What can I do to troubleshoot/fix this?
I am working with a Windows XP laptop that whenever it is shutdown will display a warning that the "MediaContextNotificationWindow" is attempting to close, eventually requiring you to force it to close. It does not appear to matter if the laptop is on or off the network, it will still display the message. I have done a little research into the MediaContextNotificationWindow, and it seems like it is either a part of the Windows Media Player or .Net 3.5, though I'm not entirely sure.
Has anyone come across this error and know how to resolve it?
Is there any sane explanation for a client's Acer Aspire 1 netbook, running XP Home SP 2, suddenly starting to ask for a login password at boot? He has a strict policy of not using passwords, and I removed his login password weeks ago. The story is that suddenly this morning, for the first time, it is asking for a login password.

Is there a command to power down the display in Windows XP? That is, a command that causes the video card to stop sending a signal to the monitor until input is received, much as power management does after a time.
Is there a way either built-in (don't think there is) or via a third-party to specify the volume on a per application basis in Windows XP? For example, right now I am listening to some music on fairly loudly and I would like all of the alerts I am getting from other apps (email, twitter updates, IMs) to be reduced.
My Windows XP taskbar is stuck on "always on top of other windows". It's always visible, even when a full-screen app is running. I've gone into the properties of the taskbar and un-checked the box for "Keep the taskbard on top of other windows" but it makes no difference. checked or un-checked, it's always on top of other windows. Any ideas?
Hi all,
Under taskbar properties in Windows XP SP3, there is an option to customize the notification area. However, when I'm trying to customize the past items, I see that there are nearly 100 different items, the majority of them are programs which have been uninstalled ages ago.
How can I eliminate all the past items that are not installed on my computer and keep the ones that are installed on my computer?
Screenie: (there are nearly 100 items, mostly nonrelevant, in the Past Items section)
I'm running Windows 7 but it doesn't quite work right with Starcraft. (Colors are messed up).
So I installed Windows XP Mode and I can get it to play starcraft but it changes the resolution to 640x480 and it does not stretch - so it's running in a tiny window in the middle of my screen. (If I resize the VM then the screen either goes blank, or it doesn't resize the contents)
Also the mouse isn't captured - the mouse can go inside/outside the virtual pc easily, and it should get stuck on the edges.
When i start my XP machine i willnot directly taken to login screen instead i have to press alt-tab and then a messagebox appears and then click have to click no or yes each time to get to login screen. please any body suggest how i can resolve this issue.
When I run psexec to the user desktop (xp pro) I get "There is a time and/or date difference between the client and the server." I also get "access denied" when I run the at \clientname time /interactive "net time \server /set /y" command. I cannot access the machine from my win2k3 server's AD Users and Computers utilities.
Is going to the machine the only way to remedy?
Clarify: Going to the machine and doing the net time command works, but I want a remote solution please.
My office machine has starting to take long time to boot up. I don't know whether I did something wrong because till last week it was working like a charm.
I am running windows XP connected with domain on Windows 2003 server.
My netbook OS is Windows XP Home Edition SP3. My wireless network option shows WPA/WPA2 option when I select it, it connects to the router but no internet access. Then I changed my router settings to WEP and configured my netbook and it works fine. I want to use WPA2 security. Please could anyone help to fix this issue?
For an army project we need to know whether Windows XP, both client and corresponding server os, are c2 certified. Are they?
Are there any resources on that, like guidelines how to configure for c2 security level?
