I'm pretty intermediate with Unix and pretty much a neophyte when it comes to SCO, so any help would be appreciated. We have an old SCO Openserver 5.0.5 system running our decommissioned accounting package. We've been keeping it running for ease of copying old PO descriptions into our new...

Recently we had an issue with Pro Engineer, where a bug caused problems when viewing a drawing created in a newer datacode (WF4 M160) on an older datacode (WF4 M130). The political decision was made to always install the latest hardware drivers and updates for all computers in one department of...

muckermucker: Thanks, I think you're right, I never thought of the return trip. I will give that a try. As for 192.0.2.x, there shouldn't be any public servers using that IP range. According to IANA 192.0.2.x is the IP equivalent of phone numbers starting with 555 in movies and...

I have two Microsoft AD Domains connected by a VPN. Domain1=192.0.2.0, Domain2=192.168.1.0, VPN=192.168.4.0. I am able to connect my two servers (Windows 2003 and Windows 2003 R2) through the VPN. I've created a static route in the server (windows 2003) on Domain2 to forward all traffic...

The User Profile Service failed the logon. User profile cannot be load" I'm working on a Windows Vista Basic edition laptop. My user first had this problem about a month ago. I fixed it by deleting the .bak SID entry in the registry under ProfileList. This seemed to work great. I was able...

Last week one of our workstations contracted a SpamBot rootkit. Before we could catch it we'd been blacklisted by just about every blacklist out there; CBL, SpamCOP, etc... Luckily I was able to remove the rootkit and our IP from most of the existing blacklists. Unfortunately today one of my...

I've had at least 5 instances of the above problem on my network in the last week. Although users will deny they did anything, I've traced it back to phishing emails. We had a crap load of email come in from UPS, Western Union, and eBay. All the messages had html attachments. My guess in...

I apologize... I just ran MalwareBytes one more time in full mode. It found 5 or 6 more things that it didn't find the last time I had run it. After that the messages went away.

I was just joking around, no offense. :) = joking Most of the people here are pretty good about exhausting their resources before they start posting. I just thought I'd add a little humor, is all. Long long ago there was a mini version of Linux. You could install the whole server on 600meg...

@Noway2: Back in the 80s there was a Robin Hood series on Showtime. I forget the name. But in that series there were seven swords, one of them named Albion. I thought it was pretty cool back then, so it stuck. As for the linux distros, I don't come here because I don't know how to search...

What's a good small Linux distribution that will work well in VirtualBox as a small scale MySQL, Apache Web Server. Thanks -Craig

@linney: You are the king of kings!! In BartPE I was able to flash the new BIOS. After a reboot the SENS service was started, and no problems in Event Viewer. Thanks so much for the link to BartPE. Stars galore for you!! -Craig

linney I was able to create a BartPE disk and boot from it on the laptop with no problem. -Craig

Acer.com has a CPU driver for that machine. I've installed that CPU driver and not installed it, both with the same outcome. As for device manager, ultimately I am able to get into system, but it usually takes a couple of hours sitting idle before my click on System or right click ->...

So I have this really weird problem that I am unwilling to give up on. I'm hoping someone here can help me. I recieved an Acer Aspire 5050 laptop from a client loaded with virus' and malware. I was tasked to clean it up no matter what it took, even a format and reinstall. The machine is an...
