Could also be a faulty motherboard not caused by any external problem. Check to see if your capacitors are normal (no buldging or leaking). (also as previously suggested): I'd remove the power switch, check for dust buildup anywhere on the motherboard, and probably setup a mouse/bug trap just...

There are bound to be problems with any of those "toolbar" or "desktop" applications. Google isn't immune to this, though it's better than most. The more pervasive or universal the application claims to be, the more likely it is that you will have problems using it.

I've run into this problem at a few places I have worked now, and I just want to get the opinion of some other professionals in the field of AD Administration. The subject is about groups. 1st option: Do you put your users into a small amount of groups, such as by department or by hierarchy...

Also, if the user name changes, their SID stays the same. That means in the Documents and Settings folder will retain their old name. There might be a few hard-coded items that stay the old way, such as the "Registered To" information on software. If you have the option to manually change...

The amount of spam that is getting through to you is by far acceptable. You will never eliminate 100%. It's just not possible. We use a Barracuda appliance and still about 2 spam per user per week (~80 email accounts) make it through. I would consider less than 5 per day acceptable and less...

Any non-compete clause or contract can be determined to be unenforceable if it violates the law or if the terms in the contract are such as to be too broad or too vague. The rulings are also not always based on precedent and may vary by court. An example, my previous company had a non-compete...

If your reverse DNS checks out fine, it sounds like an SMTP gateway or message filtering server on either your end or AOLs is eating or holding the messages. Check out DNS goodies and make sure your sending mail server is not on a black list.

It does seem that it was cached locally. I didn't know there was a local address cache in Outlook, so I never would have guessed this was being cached locally. Especially since when I modified the server, the cache was updated automatically with the changes, except when I deleted them from the...

Ok, this is yet another reason Microsoft frustrates me to death. I can't seem to figure out where this information is being "cached". Scenario: Exchange 2003 server, Outlook 2000 and 2002 clients Active Directory 2003 We recently had some mail-enabled users leave the company. So, I followed...

Same printer (HP4100) for both of us, same driver (windows), and it is the user's own calendar.

Having a cosmetic problem with Outlook, but I can't figure out why the hell it's behaving this way. 2 computers, each running Outlook 2002 and windows XP. Outlook on both computers are the same version with all the latest patches: (10.6838.6839) SP3 The user is trying to print their calendar...

If you install a keylogger software in windows, you *MUST* give her a username and password that does *NOT* have administrative rights on the computer. If she has administrative rights, it doesn't matter what you put on the machine, she can remove it, clear the logs, etc. If you are concerned...

Couple of things to note: Does your software reveal trade secrets of that manufacturing element? In some situations while they don't own the source code if you have not given it to them, the software and the interactive process could be determined to reveal a specific trade secret, which...

Anypass is another good one. It's free and relatively secure as far as file encryption is concerned. SamBones, be aware that Microsoft Excel file passwords can be stripped off or extracted with very little effort on the part of someone interesting in stealing that file.

I suspect the MIME encoding issue. Is that something this vendor could fix if they wanted to? I'm still at a loss as to why they are sending emails this way. I've never experienced this behavior with any of the mail systems I have ever worked with.
