I have a customer who is trying to recover some emails from a tape backup. The original machine (which he does not have access to or much knowledge of) is not available. He thinks it was running something like windows 2000 server and he doesn't know what version of exchange server. The backup...

Customer of mine has long running issues using his Sky email account with Outlook 2003. Initially he had intermittent loss of email (using POP protocol). Sky advised using IMAP - we changed him over, ok for a bit then intermittent issues then no emails. So put him back on POP. Was ok for a while...

Anybody running RTM version? I've installed it as multiboot option on my main machine - 64 bit - with the intention of moving to it as my main desktop. Unfortunately, its much more sluggish than all the betas and RCs I installed on my test machines! Conversely, my vista (32 bit) installation on...

Having had this problem for over 2 years and blamed it (incorrectly) on vmware originally, I've been looking for an answer sporadically - and finally I have found one with the help of a very knowledgeable/helpful member on another forum:-...

Not so much a question, more a muse... Couple of weeks ago my vista installation failed to boot (corrupt ntfs.sys it said) - no obvious reason why. On restart it did boot - after saying there was a failure - but the boot entry showed vista (recovered). Then after that it booted ok. So I edited...

Please be aware this is just a moan about Vista - asking nothing, achieving little (a little release for me). I recently posted that vmware causes some network problems (particularly printing) with various of my Vista installations. The printing is particularly annoying - takes 5 minutes before...

This is not really a question - just something else I've found. I've had various ongoing issues with vista (as I've posted before) - generally not critical, but just enough ongoing to make me constantly want to go back to XP. I had some issues with vmware - which I thought were sorted - but...

Customer has this problem. Machine runs ok. Will shut down ok - and then starts up ok, but if its restarted it sticks with half the 'white line' across the screen. I haven't seen the machine yet - just looking for someone with similar experience (quick Google hasn't turned anything up yet). Any...

Current specific is for an Acer Travelmate 4200 - child wrecked the keyboard and it needs replacing. One problem - there appear to be at least 2 variants of this machine with different keyboards! (the school have both). I have had patchy success tracking down service manuals - so usually...

Customer's laptop. Found one issue - windows is reporting bad block on hard drive, which commonly causes freezing. But there are other issues too - like it won't turn off (have to disconnect power supply & battery). The keyboard stops working (I tried a fresh install onto another hard drive...

Background. Old Compaq P600 machine. Developed a problem - wouldn't load the desktop, various error messages. Could start in safe mode. Ran chkdsk, it found errors, booted ok, then wouldn't again. Disk was failing - so I replaced it, doing a clone of failing disk. This was successful - and...

If any vmware users here who don't frequent the vmware forum, please have a look at this thread thread1320-1433662 Thanks

Have been running workstation 6 for several months in a Vista 32 bit installation (Ultimate). Recently started getting problems running some of the VMs. 2 problems. 1. Start VM - and it just sticks on black screen. Can then do nothing with it - if you try to power it off, nothing happens...

Currently minor problem, but... Opening the games folder from the menu and clicking on any games, get: The games run ok directly from the menu (ie, normal shortcut - if you get the games to open inside the menu). I'm not sure what breed the icons in the games folder are!) I'm suspecting...

Anybody visited recently - http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Home.aspx It used to allow you to select o/s and then displayed list of patches you could download. Now its just a search box, which doesn't obviously allow the same functionality. Being busy with several other things...

Just (finally!) moving to a Vista machine with Office 2007. Have just copied my .pst file from Office 2003. My contacts are arranged in a numbers of subfolders. When writing an email, clicking on TO only lists the entries in the subfolder called contacts! (Outlook 2003 lets you choose from the...

All with Vista Ultimate I've been avoiding Vista for 6 months or so - I built a machine to run it and installed 64 bit version. Then had so many compatibility issues with software I run that I gave up and stayed with my trusty XP installation. One other issue that bothered me was speed - I've...

Primary School network - server has had a number of issues, finally to corrupt to continue - so rebuild. But haven't got all the settings, and have issue with the way workstations are picking up network settings. The school is connected to Local Authority broadband via a router. Internet access...

Has anyone found out how to make network discovery stay turned on? Or am I getting unusual response, in that it turns itself off after a while (don't know how long) and certainly if I restart machine. Am still trying to set up the machine I mentioned in thread1583-1325694. Have started again...

Has anybody successfully installed Nero 7 Ultra (7.7.5.1 or 7.5.9.0A) on 64-bit version of Vista RTM? I'm getting the 7.7.5.1 version install showing as Essentials rather than Ultra, then when complete, the startsmart app shows only favourites - no other options (though they are installed, and...
