I want to change the server from a Windows 2000 Server to a Windows Server 2008 environment, so I'd like to know how can I migrate my TWiki too. Anyone?
I've run into a strange situation where I can't share files between Windows 98 and Windows 2000 using a USB flash drive. Files I put on the Win98 machine can be read by that machine, but not by the Win2k machine. And likewise, I can add and read files on that drive from the Win2k machine, but those files don't appear on the drive when accessed…
We use "Copy file.prn to \tsclient\com1" to print from a TS session to a locally attached serial printer.
This works fine from Windows XP, but when trying it from a Windows 7 client computer, we get an "Access is denied" error message.
And yes, the check box of COM port is selected on the Local Resources tab of the Remote Desktop Connection…
I can't boot Windows 7 and I don't have the bootable Windows 7 DVD to repair, but I have a DVD image from which I installed it, but when I start setup it shows only the option of installing it.
How can I repair the existing installation instead of reinstalling?
Is there a way to change the background color in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 when the current folder being displayed meets a certain condition? Or is there a way I can change the icons of the files and folders within that folder so it's distinctive--similar to how Tortoise SVN does it for code checked out from a repository?
Why?
I'd…
Hi,
Is there any way to do an in-place upgrade from Windows 7 Ultimate to Windows 7 Enterprise? I get an error saying that there's a compatibility issue, but perhaps there's some way to modify the registry to bypass this restriction?
Thanks!
Is there any way to get Windows Explorer tree view in Windows 7 to stop jumping? I think they really messed up this design. Click a node to expand a deeper level and it instantly scrolls the tree vertically to a new location. This is not a good feature since my eye completely loses the node it was focused on and I have to hunt for where I…
A very strange issue - Windows Explorer doesn't display the drives connected to my machine. I did make some changes to my setup a while back with the Local Group Policy Editor to disable the "Aero Shake" behavior, so I may have inadvertently enabled or disabled something related to this, but to be honest, I don't remember when the…
How do you set up a Windows Vista Home Basic desktop (wired) and a Windows 7 Home Premium laptop (wifi) on a home network so that they can share files and the printers connected to the desktop? The Win7 laptop may also be used on other networks.
I'm going to have to set this up for my parents when I visit shortly. I currently…
I have a printer hooked up to a computer running Windows XP. It prints fine from that computer, but I'd like to set up other computers (running Vista and 7) to print from it as well. I tried setting up printer sharing, but it wouldn't work because the client computers needed to install the print driver as well. (The driver…
A piece of software that we use at our office has recently moved to a new licensing system. This means that from now on a new set of license key files will need to be distributed to each of our 25 client installations every year.
All of the clients run XP and are part of an AD domain controlled by a Windows 2003 DC. I'm…
Basically, what can be achieved by going to Control Panel Uninstall a Program View Installed Updates Right Click Uninstall, but through the command line? Looking for a way that works across the Windows platform but if (and according to my reading, most likely) it's version dependent so be it.
Maybe something like:

Ok this is an odd one, but is happening often enough its getting quite annoying.
I recently installed Windows 7 on my work computer (about 2 months ago) and every so often I lose access to network shares on our work network.
Its one server in particular - other shares are still working fine.
I have a number of folders…
Edit: Reformulating the question:
We have ordered new laptops but before they arrive, our development team is trying to decide whether to install Windows 8 or stick with Windows 7. We have already tested on isolated machines, but we have not yet been allowed to add the machines to the domain.
Before we approach the…
I have a server running on Windows server 2008 R2. It is recently added as a member of a domain. I am not able to start any applications in thew server. When I tried to open Event viewer it errored out saying "The page file is to small to complete the action".
I am experiencing same problem when I tried to open Sql…
In Windows 8 it seems natural to me that each person in a family has their own Microsoft Account with which they log in.
If you pay for an app on the Windows Store, you can install that same app on several computers using the same Microsoft Account. Good.
However, if several persons, in this case my children, each…
I have been trying to build up a window's 7 and 2k8 EFI deployment ISO or USB.
But struggling to to even get an ISO to boot from even VMware Workstation EFI implementation. The problem is there is no clear requirement to what the EFI bootloader is looking for, "e.g EFI boot file" even ISO's and USB's that are…
On Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, I can know currently open ports on the Windows Firewall using the following command:
netsh firewall show state
However, on Windows 7 and Hyper-V Server 2008 R2, when I give that command, it says:
No ports are currently open on all network interfaces.

I have 2 VM servers in the exact same NIC configuration: Server 2003 R2, one NIC connected to private (hardware firewall) network in a 10.x private address space, and one NIC connected straight to public internet.
Windows Firewall is enabled for the Public Internet NIC only.
Now, what doesn't make…
I tried to upgrade from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1. Unfortunately, during the upgrade process I receive the following error:
Sorry, it looks like this PC can't run Windows 8.1. This might be
because the Users or Program Files folder is being redirected to
another partition.
Which is accurate…
I have a Windows 8 in audit mode with a lot of applications installed, custom configurations done, and an answer file prepared, ready to be sysprepped for cloning. How do I upgrade to Windows 8.1, when I can't go into the store (Metro apps don't work in audit mode)? If I run sysprep then create a…
If you are moving from Vista to Windows 7, you might miss the Sidebar which was introduced in Vista. Today we take a look at a couple options for getting a Sidebar back in Windows 7.
Copy Files from Vista
Note: In this example we are using 32-bit versions of Vista and Windows 7. Make sure you are…
I'm trying to configure Windows Firewall with Advanced Security to log and tell me when programs are trying to make outbound requests. I previously tried installing ZoneAlarm, which worked wonders for me with this in XP, but now, I'm unable to install ZA on Win7. My question is, is it possible to…
I'm working on a tweak to our logon script which will copy an executable file to the local hard drive and then, using the schtasks command, schedule a task to run that executable daily.
It's a standalone executable file, and when run it creates a folder in the working directory (which would be…
In Windows XP I can open "My Computer" and see all the hard drives. I can also see the explorer.exe process running among other processes in Task Manager. But after opening "My Computer", when I double click on one of the drives to open it, I get the following error message:
