I'm thinking about switching the systems in my home from 32-bit to 64-bit Windows. I'm not concerned so much about new OS features as I am about peoples experiences after making the switch. I do a lot of development and use a lot of OS apps and was wondering if people ar having issues.
Hello All,
I have a Windows 2008 Server, Its maximum connection backlog limit (Tcp) is 200. Is there any way to increase this limit to higher value? say 1000 or 2000.
I am looking for suggestions for video editing programs like iMovie, which are dead simple to use. We just need basic editing and titling features for making videos of our kids slightly more watchable. Nothing too fancy. The major requirement is that it needs to be extremely easy to use even without prior editor experience.
We're running Windows XP on some machines and Vista the rest.
Free is preferred however ease-of use trumps price.
I have a home theatre PC running with two users accounts on windows 7.
The default account logs into locally. The account 'Paul' is present but is denied local log in so the default auto logs in locally.
I am trying to remote into account Paul using RDC however it tries to log into the default account and I am presented with an an option to boot the present user off so I can log in.
How do I specify which account I want to log into?
Hey, I've been troubleshooting network issues on servers with 2 NICs and laptops with wired and wireless cards.
How can I force the PING and TELNET to be sent from a specific adapter? I know it's a trouble with windows.
Turning off one of the adapters is not an option, I am always connected through one of the adapters. There must be some command line option to prefer one adapter over the other.
Thanks
According to this article, I should be able to sync my Windows Mobile smartphone via my wireless internet connection. However, when I go to the connection settings, I only see USB and COM1 options. No option for ethernet. I have an HTC Maple (aka Snap), and it connects fine to my home wireless network, but I would like to be able to sync over the network.
I have an application (.exe) which I am running via a scheduled task on Windows Server 2008 R2.
The task runs fine but when the .exe returns a non-zero exit code the task is still successful when it should fail.
I get this message:
Task Scheduler successfully completed
task "\CustomerDataSourceETL - Whics"
, instance
"{a574f6b4-2614-413c-8661-bc35eaeba7cd}"
, action
"E:\applications\CCDB-ETL\CustomerDataSourceETLConsole.exe" with return code 214794259.
How can I get task scheduler to detect that the return code is 0 and fail the task?
When I run a game on my windows 7 laptop, Rundll32 completely uses up one of my cores and the game wont start. By searching the web I have been able to fix it by
1 - Disabling game info collection/updation from the games explorer. It solved the problem for some games but not all
2 - Killing the game exe once rundll32 gets stuck and restarting the game
This has solved the problem for now, but is there a proper and permanent solution to this?
I have Windows 7 on an HP Mini 5101. It is can be very slow to resume from suspend (not hibernate) state. The time from power on to the login prompt varies from say 10 sec to over a minute.
This machine mainly gets used for sofa surfing so usually only Firefox and gtalk are running.
Any suggestions on how to achieve Mac-like start-up or suggestions on how to track down the problem appreciated.
I have installed Windows Home Server on an older Dell computer, and it uses a Broadcom 440x Ethernet NIC driver. I have tried all of the drivers listed on their drivers page to no luck.
The error message I get when trying to install is:
"The parameter is incorrect"
I know it is a long shot, but anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks!
The title pretty much says it all. I get error 0x8007005 when installing TortoiseSVN version 1.6.8.19340 on Windows 7 64-bit. Has anyone else had a similar experience? If so how did you solve it?
I work all day on a Windows Server 2003 machine and have noticed people "borrowing" my machine by using Remote Desktop to log in. This is pretty much "normal behaviour" at the company I work at, but I'd like to know when this is happening.
Is there any way I can be alerted each time someone remote desktop's onto my server? A simple "Bob has logged in" would be great - and I imagine there is a facility somewhere to enable this.
Currently we have a freshly setup Windows Server 2008 server acting as DNS and AD,Print and File server.
I setup VPN and routing services and was able to successfully connect through VPN however I can't resolve any host using NETBios names. Only IP addresses. Sounds like I need to add a role for WINS but since this is a LIVE environment I'm a little hesitant about adding and removing additions to the box.
What would I need to do to resolve this issue?
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?
I have a Linux server on my local network that is set up to use wakeup on lan. I copied this script verbatim, just replacing the MAC address in the example use. When I run this script on a Mac, the server wakes up. When I run it from Windows 7 (32-bit Ultimate) it doesn't do anything (note that the script DOES run, I added a debug raw_input() to confirm).
It's still around in Windows 7.
How does it work and how does it compare with newer sync options such as the native Sync Center?
Should we still use it if it's not being phased out?
I'm using NetBeans 6.8 on Windows 7. Upgrade from WinXP and NetBEans 6.7. Now my existing java web app project is no longer able to import/find the packages I've developed. And yet the project still compiles and runs OK.
I've tried changing the Java Platform/JDK from 1.6.0_10 back to JDK 1.5.0_22 but I still receive errors package does not exist. All other libraries and packages are able to import OK ...
Those who have been running Win7 since the early builds (myself included) are eager to know what's coming next. While we may for the time being have little more than hearsay and hints, let's collect our collective SO knowledge on the next consumer version of Windows.
I want to enable (display) the Security tab for file/folder properties in Windows XP home editon. I've already seen this question but do not seem to have the 'Use Simple File Sharing' option available to uncheck.
I've also double-checked and the file system is NTFS formatted.
Is this just a limitation of XP home edition, or is there something I can install/hack to get around this?
From what I hear, Windows 7 is able to burn ISO files natively. I should be able to right-click on a given ISO and choose "Burn disk image", but I do not have that option on any ISO I try. I am assuming that I fudged the associations somehow.
Can you help me get back on track?
Hi All,
Someone told me that one can enable Windows Mobile simply by creating a bunch of registry values as explained in this TechEd article.
The article is in the scopê of MS System Configuration Manager but my client tells me that the logs can be created even without System Config Manager. I tried but I couldn't get the system to create any such log file.
Can anyone explain how to get this logs (or why I can't get them)?
TIA,
I have a Windows 2008 system with VMware Oracle RAC and Linux CentOS as guest OS plus Visual Studio etc installed. Can anybody tell me how do I go about creating a system image so restores can be a snap?
So I just upgraded my system to the Windows 7 RTM, and I've noticed they took away the ability to customize the shortcuts in the Games Explorer. Is there a third-party application that would allow me to customize the shortcuts without having to do so manually? I know how to do it, but it's a pain, and I'd rather have a GUI do the dirty work for me.
Is there a method or software that will allow the ability to push windows updates to clients in an non-active directory environment?
WSUS is not an option for the situation as it doesn't have the ability to push the updates to the clients, only for the clients to pull updates.
