Windows Media Player (Windows 7) has added some very wrong album art files on some of my files. How can I remove the album art without having to replace them?
I am doing some development that requires some interaction with an NNTP server, however I don't want to develop against a live server for obvious reasons and am trying to get a local NNTP server setup for testing, but for the life of me I can't find any guides on setting one up in (preferably) Windows 7.
Can anyone shed some light? I've found that in IIS 6 you were able to setup an NNTP server, but I unfortunately do not have a 2003 VM at my disposal, I'm stuck with either XP or Windows 7.
Thanks
My browsing and other 'internet' activity (dropbox,digsby etc) halts when I connect to my office VPN using Cisco Systems VPN client Version 5.0.04.0300 on my Windows 7 Ultimate.The only option left for me at this time is to use my office proxy to enable the connection back.
I tried doing the ucheck "Use default gateway on remote network" solution as mentioned on a previous post Windows 7 VPN stops web browser but I don't see that option on the properties of "Cisco systems VPN adapter" connection properties.
Here is the screenshot
I am trying to watch a video with MPC and then Windows Search Indexer keeps taking the focus.. how do I prevent it from doing that? running Windows 7 with x64
Does anyone know of a way to get an old Visioneer 5800 scanner that's supposed to work with nothing past Windows XP SP1 to work on Windows 7 64-bit? I don't care about all the bells and whistles, just the basic features. Is there any kind of generic TWAIN interface that can be used?
Hello
I Windows 7 and so can you rotate your desktop 90, 270 degrees. Is there any way to do this in Windows Server 2008 R2 i did find some software that works with 2003 servers...
Thanks
Is there an alternative to trying to remember all the advanced search options? Like an actual GUI as we had for windows XP?
As powerful as Windows Search apparently is, I cannot possibly remember all the options available. How is a mere mortal like my Dad supposed to understand and retain all this?
I get the shakes every time i need to find something on Win 7. Anyone have some relief?
A client has asked me to setup Windows 2008 SBS to block and log websites from a list they will provide. As far as I know they only have standard edition which means I cannot use ISA. I was thinking of using squid authenticated against Active Directory.
There is no budge for additional software. Does any one know of a different/better solution using either open source software or software that is available in Windows 2008 SBS?
Thanks
I have removed GRUB's partition, and I wanted to restore the original Windows boot part. WinToFlash failed again to make my pendrive bootable, thus I'm in a bit of a trouble now.
I looked all around, but I couldn't find any easy way to do this.
What is the easiest and fastest way to restore the MBR?
(I've got no Windows 7 DVD with me right now. And fetching the DVD is not really fast with a slower connection.)
Hi there!! I want to change the server from a Windows 2000 server to a Windows 2008 server environment, so I'd like to know how can I migrate my TWiki too. Anyone??
I'd like to create a Templates folder in my profile on Windows 7, but there's already a junction to AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Templates. I assume this is a system configuration so I don't want to delete it. I'm currently calling my folder File Templates, but that seems to verbose to me. Is there anything I can do?
Is there an application that can give me mouse gestures across all programs on Windows 7? I'm aware of StrokeIt, but it seems to have some nasty bugs on 64-bit versions of Windows. (Or maybe it's just mine, I don't know, but it crashed a lot last time I used it.)
After hitting F8 before startup and selecting "enable boot logging", I let windows try to start up and blue screen / restart (which I'm currently trying to troubleshoot) - I run the 'repair' function, open a command prompt, and try to find the boot log file, which I expected to be at %SystemRoot%\ntbtlog.txt - but it's not. Where is it?
PS - probably makes no difference, but this is windows 7 ultimate 64bit to be precise.
As far as I can tell, the windows VPN client doesn't provide a lot of flexibility in its IPsec settings. Assuming full configurability on the site end of a client-site VPN configuration, does anyone how to configure the site to match the windows client?
Bonus points: how would I discover these settings for myself?
I'm trying to install something, and all of a sudden Windows' DEP kills Windows Installer. This has happened to me before. Is there a fix for this I'm not aware of? I'm on XP.
I prefer the sound scheme of Windows 7 HP to be set to "No Sounds" ALL the time. The problem is, when I switch themes, the themes switch sound schemes also. I know I can go in and disable/change to "No Sounds" every time by hand, but is there a way to turn it off and keep it off, regardless of the theme? Thanks!
EDIT I want to disable Windows sounds, not application sound.

Don't want to reinstall new windows. and also any body knows why is it happen?
I've been using Ubuntu on a desktop computer I have in my house and I'd like to try to install Windows 8 and replace the Ubuntu system.
In the installation wizard of Windows 8 I get stuck in the point where I have to specify the HDD to install the OS to. The problem is that I cannot see any hard disk drive to select. I believe this may be related to drivers but I don't know where to get them.
Can anyone help me with this?
I have a Server 2003 box. I've noticed the windows directory is 4 gigs and I guess that's primarily windows updates.
As a side not, it would be cool to do this on my XP boxes if possible.

I have a windows cluster (on windows 2008 server) with nodes in different subnets. So cluster has two IPs, one for each node (I'm talking not about node IP, but about cluster IP). One is online, the other is offline.
Is it possible to run Oracle Fail Safe on this configuration? I've tried to install it, but it gives me the following error when trying to verify group or add database to group:
FS-10220: Network name maps to IP address in the cluster resource but maps to IP address on the system
I'm a developer using Windows 7 XP Mode to get some old 16-bit apps to run.
A hugely annoying hurtle I'm encountering is this:
When I resize my XP windows at all (usually by mistake), it automatically logs me off (or Locks), requiring me to log in.
This causes my build batch file to stop, which is potentially hours of work lost.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
I am trying to share my mobile broadband internet connection with other machines via wifi and am running windows 7. Users are able to connect to my machine, but not able to obtain an internet connection once they connect to me. Any ideas would be very helpful.
Does Windows firewall block this?
Why in Windows 7 do I see the Data & Time in DateTimePicker inverse and in Windows XP it is fine? (the region and language are the same)
For example:
Win7: 2010/12/31 - 51:09
XP : 31/12/2010 - 09:51
Thanks in advance.
Hello Everyone!,
My setup is I have a windows 7 computer acting as a file server. All my computers can connect to it fine including my mac. The problem is that randomly the mac will get kicked off the file share (even when i am in the middle of using it) and will not be allowed to reconnect to it until i reboot the windows 7 machine. (Rebooting the mac doesn't help)
Does anyone know what could be causing this to happen?
