FYI
I ended up with a Canon i560.  $85 at Staples.  High rating on cnet.  Cheap
cartridges.  Replaceable print head.

Thanks for everybody's advice.

It's a good thing you didn't try today. I've been watching DVDs for

But feel free tomorrow.

Message-ID: <00cb01c41c09$d0a3dde0$6501a8c0@rock>

I have read the various pages at microsoft.com and I still can't
understand what these packages are for, or what they include, or why I
would choose one of these over a standard Windows server + a SQL Server
installation. It's not even clear to me which OS, if any,  is included
in each package. Call me dense! I don't want to risk an install just to
find out. All the versions of said products say "2002" except Host,
which says "2000".

Can someone give me a concise rundown of what these include, at whom
they are targeted, what else I might have to install or purchase to make
it work (i.e. I don't do credit-card billing so maybe commerce server is
pointless; etc.). I think Exchange Server is primarily about integrating
many users' Outlook databases, but even that I'm not sure about. Call me
dense!

I have a genuine server, kind of old and by today's standards kind of
slow, but for my home office it's fine. It runs Windows 2000 Advanced
Server (cuz it has twin P3-400Mz chips), has a RAID setup, and currently
doesn't do much more than run SQL 2000 plus provide access to a few
shared directories.

Since I have copies of all the products mentioned in the subject line,
what might I gain by installing one or more of said products? Should I
consider installing one or more in a multi-boot setup, thereby
protecting my current installation, or should I back up my SQL data and
overwrite/update the current install?

TIA,
Arthur

...there is no Small Business Server 2002 ...only 2000 and 2003 ...SBS2003
integrates Windows Server 2003 with Exchange, ILS, and SQL Server 2000
...Exchange is an integrated mail and communications centralized system that
works best with Outlook but can certainly be used with other mail clients
...the SBS package ties them all together in a comparatively friendly
management interface and as long as you're under 50 client or work station
cals, is by far the best package available ...you can buy the SBS package
for far less than the individual pieces ...actually as a MS Partner they
just sent me a free 10 cal SBS 2003 Premium for my own use :)

Ed,
Use the quick launch toolbar (in the Windows taskbar). Right click on the
task bar and choose Toolbars | New. You can place it anywhere on the desktop
either along the border or floating, you can have it auto hide like the
taskbar and you can have it refer to a folder so that it just displays the
contents of a folder. That is what I do.

I have a folder, lets call it "Shortcuts", which I place all of my shortcuts
in. I then check Show Text and Show Title. I shorten the toolbar all the way
to one side of the taskbar until it only show the taskbar name title
"Shortcuts" and a little double arrow shows up next to it "Shortcut >>".
When I click the arrows the entire list of shortcuts pop up and I click on
whichever I want. If I want a new shortcut (or even a document that I'm
working on a lot) I just place in the shortcut folder and it appears on the
toolbar from then until I remove it. This makes managing my toolbar as easy
as managing a folder. Of course this isn't for everyone and I have clients
that do other things with it once I show them the options - play away!

It can do everything the MOT could do, doesn't consume as much RAM, and is
stable (doesn't cause conflicts with other software-MOT is widely regarded
as unstable).

HTH
good luck!
Joh B.

No, they didn't.  Go to Start / All Programs / Microsoft Office Tools /
Microsoft Office Shortcut Bar.

Ed,
Use the quick launch toolbar (in the Windows taskbar). Right click on
the
task bar and choose Toolbars | New. You can place it anywhere on the
desktop
either along the border or floating, you can have it auto hide like the
taskbar and you can have it refer to a folder so that it just displays
the
contents of a folder. That is what I do.

I have a folder, lets call it "Shortcuts", which I place all of my
shortcuts
in. I then check Show Text and Show Title. I shorten the toolbar all the
way
to one side of the taskbar until it only show the taskbar name title
"Shortcuts" and a little double arrow shows up next to it "Shortcut >>".
When I click the arrows the entire list of shortcuts pop up and I click
on
whichever I want. If I want a new shortcut (or even a document that I'm
working on a lot) I just place in the shortcut folder and it appears on
the
toolbar from then until I remove it. This makes managing my toolbar as
easy
as managing a folder. Of course this isn't for everyone and I have
clients
that do other things with it once I show them the options - play away!

It can do everything the MOT could do, doesn't consume as much RAM, and
is
stable (doesn't cause conflicts with other software-MOT is widely
regarded
as unstable).

HTH
good luck!
Joh B.

I can get as far as Microsoft Office Tools but here's no option
"Microsoft Office Shortcut Bar"  Maybe they somehow disabled it on the
install.  Thanks.

Not particularly, before Gateway built these 650 PCs, they sent a hard
drive to our agency and from what I hear 2 individuals decided what
software was to be installed.  Keep in mind our IT shop is strictly
Oracle/Unix, they don't understand high end PC users who may be running,
Access, SPSS and SAS all at the same time.  Anyway,  they installed the
software and then sent it to Gateway where they ghosted all the HDs.  I
became such a pain to these folks requesting this and that be installed
that they made me administrator on my PC, that helped a lot.  In
addition, they are using consultants to do a lot of the work and Monday
the consultant who configured all our filtering and security software
walked to take another job.  Very frustrating.

Message-ID: <87C856B802C3D511B69B0002A5CD10EA63A8F2@ALCUXB>

Hi all
 
A colleague who really should know better has just taken delivery of a new
pc for his department. So he swapped all the drives over from his pc to the
new one, and tried to start it, and nothing happened. Well not quite nothing
- he got to a black screen with a flashing white cursor. I suggested that he
boot off the Win2k cd and run the repair utility, which he did.
 
So he rebooted again, and it's still going to the black screen and staying
there.
 
He's got completely different hardware now - new motherboard, processor,
ram, video card etc. The only things that are the same are the hard drive,
cd-rw and dvd-rom.
 
I'm a bit stuck now, so I told him to run the repair utility again, see if
that helps, but if anyone else has any suggestions, they'd be much
appreciated...
 
 
Jon

Jon,
   Most people run the sysprep utility before the run into such 
things... check out this page from microsoft on how to use it.

That looks like it's for cloning hard disks for pc's with similar
hardware... That's not what he's done - he took a working 2k install and put
it into a new box.

I've got him to put everything back in the old box, see if that helps, and
maybe we can get it all working after Easter.

Thanks Francisco

sysprep is used for cloning on a regular basis, but it also does much 
much more... THE CRITICAL problem with your "friends" upgrade was that 
he simply moved the Hard drives to the new pc.  The Windows 2000 
information on the hard disk relates to the OLD pc not the new one, so 
things like motherboard drivers are blind now... OF course it won't 
boot... The only way to get away with what you friend did, is to have 
exactly the same hardware on 2 pc's then you can swap the hdd's all day

otherwise what he can do is "REINSTALL" windows 2k on the new pc under a 
new folder of coures. not to mention that doing it this way will require 
a re-install of all his software...

Right, that's what I thought. He put it back in his old pc, and it worked,
but the reair function of the win2k disk meant that none of his programs
worked, so he's gonna backup his data and reinstall in the new pc, which is
what I should have suggested to him in the first place if he'd bothered
asking me :-)

Thanks Francisco

sysprep is used for cloning on a regular basis, but it also does much
much more... THE CRITICAL problem with your "friends" upgrade was that
he simply moved the Hard drives to the new pc.  The Windows 2000
information on the hard disk relates to the OLD pc not the new one, so
things like motherboard drivers are blind now... OF course it won't
boot... The only way to get away with what you friend did, is to have
exactly the same hardware on 2 pc's then you can swap the hdd's all day
and both systems will boot w/o a problem.

otherwise what he can do is "REINSTALL" windows 2k on the new pc under a

I want to rename my server, and also one of my client boxes. The server
runs Win2K Advanced Server. The client in question runs Win2K
Professional.

What snakes am I going to step on in attempting this?

...the client is relatively easy ...reset the local admin password on the

workgroup ...login on the client as local admin ...change the client name
...reboot ...use the Network ID Wizard to rejoin the client to the domain
...check that the client appears in the AD and update/assign rights and
policies as necessary :)

...otoh, changing a server name can be an exercise in MS hell and I
personally would not attempt it ...I'd rather upgrade the server to Win 2003
where the DNS, AD, and registry are much, much better integrated ...if you
HAVE to do it, make absolutely sure its not a domain controller when you do
the change ...not that it will save your butt but it will improve your odds

Message-ID: <20040416091342.661F924C821@smtp.nildram.co.uk>

Can anyone recommend a good tool for solving a VxD error on W98, preferably
free? It's happening on a couple of laptops as they close down - goes to
Windows splash, waits a couple of seconds then blue screen with a VxD error.
Any suggestions welcome. There are a number of debugging tools which come up
on the net when searching on this subject, but I'd like a recommendation.

I've cross-posted to dba and dba-tech to pick up as many suggestions as
possible, but it'd be good if you could reply either to dba-Tech or direct
to me, as I'm conscious it's not an Access issue.

Thanks.

Fix-IT utilities is my choice software for dealing w/ the evil 9x

I have an older copy from 3.0 which works very well for 95/98/ME machines.

Can anyone think of a way that I could use a random signature (out of
say 20) on every mail I send? I have created a bunch, for various
contexts, but I'm thinking it would be way more fun if Outlook just
appended one at random... i.e. "Never trust a naked cab driver."

Ideas for how to do this?

Hi Arthur

Would _you_ do that?

I'm surprised ... thought this was kid's play (count William in here

Use Pegasus Mail as your email client. Built a RQuotes.pms file ( or 
grab one of the Pegasus Mail quotes manager such as Plato) and put 
"~!" in your sig definition where you want the quote.

MS and Component One are offering a free ASP.NET Resource Kit. See
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=aef6aa76-ab88-4
264-87b4-8e946ef584d7&DisplayLang=en. What's funny is the page you are
taken to next. It's a form which is:

A) quite ambiguous - should you fill it in if downloading? Or only if
ordering the CD?
B) the country dropdown contains only one country (USA), but the
state/province dropdown contains Canadian provinces.
C) I entered several valid postal codes, but on each received the error
message "not a valid zip code". Yet the label says "Zip/Postal Code".
D) Nothing happens when you click Submit.

Nice piece of work, guys and gals!

Subject: [dba-Tech] discovering DHCP server
Message-ID: <NGBBLIECOMAKBPEDMKEJIENOGHAA.john@winhaven.net>

IIRC there's an easy way to discover which device on a notwork is acting as
a DHCP server - unfortunately the how part escapes me at the moment.

I'm working ground zero with a client who fired their last consultant and
has no idea what a DHCP server is let alone where it is. I need to locate it
so that I can turn it off and use another device to be DHCP server.

Any ideas? (besides checking every device on the network.)

Well, if it happens to be a valid DHCP server, meaning one that the company
is actually using, then all clients that gets its IP address from it, also
has the IP address of the DHCP server.
WinNT: use ipconfig /all from command prompt
Win9x: use winipcfg

Then you can match the IP address of the DHCP server to a computer name
using WINS, if available.

Outlook 2002 SP2.

I use the above, as does a client. When I click, in the folder view or
Outlook bar, on, say, Inbox then the first email in the list is selected. On
client's machine when he does this the first item is kind of highlighted but
not selected. He needs to click with the mouse to select it. So for example
if he clicks on Inbox then hits delete there is nothing selected to delete,
whereas mine would delete the first item at the top of the list. Anyone know
a setting which causes this change of behaviour.

My choices are open previous, open next, and return to inbox.  Maybe you're

Subject: [dba-Tech] Norton LiveUpdate question
Message-ID: <20040425151042.1818588079.serbach@new.rr.com>

Dear Group,

In my mom & pop programming shop office I have two Windows 2000 workstations, mine and my wife's. I have our normal logins on these workstations set as Power User level. Therefore I installed Norton SystemWorks 2003 on both of them last August while logged in as Administrator on each one.

I don't know when I noticed it but my wife's LiveUpdate does not happen automatically. Under Norton AntiVirus Options the "Enable automatic LiveUpdate" is unchecked. I also found that the "Disable Critical Update Notification and system-wide Automatic LiveUpdate" checkbox is checked under the Norton SystemWorks General options. My workstation is fine.

I have tried:

1) Unchecking the 'Disable Critical Update' checkbox and clicking OK; but when I return to that option screen the box is checked again.

2) Re-starting the system after unchecking that box; once re-started the box is checked.

3) Clicking on the 'Enable' Automatic LiveUpdate button under Norton AntiVirus Status; Automatic LiveUpdate does not change from 'Off'.

4) Checking the 'Enable automatic LiveUpdate' checkbox under Norton AntiVirus LiveUpdate options and clicking OK; but when I go right back into the options menu, the 'Enable' box is unchecked.

I've done all of these things while logged in as Administrator, but I can't get the LiveUpdate to work automagically.

Is this the result of some virus? I recently did a Trend Micro HouseCall scan on my wife's workstation because we'd found an infected e-mail file. The infected file was erased; but how could NAV become discombulated like this?

Are we talking a re-install of Norton SystemWorks? This is baffling to me.

Thanks in advance for any clues you can throw my way.

Sorry, it was tools, options, email options on the preferences tab...and this 
isn't 2003...so it may be different...thought maybe it was close enough that 
you could click around till you found the message handling section.

Thanks Donna. In fact it's mine that's set to return to inbox, so I'll try
changing theirs and see if that makes a difference. Thanks again for the

Have you checked the Windows Task Scheduler? Norton adds an item to it 
called Symantec NetDetect.
Check it does not have "Could not start" against it. Seems like once it has 
failed once, it stops permanently.

To reset it, just open its Properties dialog and change something (e.g. 
uncheck and recheck the Enabled box
then click Apply). That's fixed it for me many times...

I get a lot of failed to start tasks at work - if you create it as one user,
you might need a password to get it going again - that's the main culprit
for accounts being locked out here.

Have you checked the Windows Task Scheduler? Norton adds an item to it 
called Symantec NetDetect.
Check it does not have "Could not start" against it. Seems like once it has 
failed once, it stops permanently.

To reset it, just open its Properties dialog and change something (e.g. 
uncheck and recheck the Enabled box
then click Apply). That's fixed it for me many times...

HTH

Ralph Bryce

MS and Component One are offering a free ASP.NET Resource Kit. See
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=aef6aa76-ab88-4
264-87b4-8e946ef584d7&DisplayLang=en. What's funny is the page you are
taken to next. It's a form which is:

A) quite ambiguous - should you fill it in if downloading? Or only if
ordering the CD?
B) the country dropdown contains only one country (USA), but the
state/province dropdown contains Canadian provinces.
C) I entered several valid postal codes, but on each received the error
message "not a valid zip code". Yet the label says "Zip/Postal Code".
D) Nothing happens when you click Submit.

Nice piece of work, guys and gals!

Course if you want to do it from code all IE settings are kept in the 
Registry.
 Look up the following keys:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer
and
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer

Here's a script that should change IE's starting page.
With all the caveats about changing registry and backup and differing OS 
etc.
This can also be handy for those little gremlins that snaffle your home 
page by overwriting your registry.

Dim Shell as object
Set Shell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
HomePage = "Insert A Web Address Here"
Shell.RegWrite "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\Start 
Page",HomePage

Have a look at http://www.fjsmjs.com/IE/homepage.htm

It has a few things to try.

If this is a corporate install of IE6, the admins may have used the IEAK and disabled the ability to make changes to the home page. in which case you may be Outta Luck.

If you have SpyBot S&D installed check the switch that disables the user
from changing the home page (must start it in advanced mode).

If it's a 'security' issue, where the network admins have disabled it, there is a way to 'goof' the system.  What is the current home page?  If it's something you don't want, you can create a host file to 'redirect' it to something else.  If it's something you do want, you could add within the host file, a 'goof' name to direct you to the correct site.

recommendations for a no-cost tool that performs automatic renaming of files
(i.e. remove all spaces)?  Does such a tool exist that would also update the
HTML as well?

MS Access? Something like:

Function Cleanup(directory as string) as long
Dim strFilename as String
Dim strFilename2 as String

ChDir Directory
strFilename = Dir(directory)
While strFilename > " "
      StrFilename2 = Replace(strFilename," ","")
      If srtFilename2 <> strFilename Then
	      Name strFilename As strFilename2         
     End
     strFilename = Dir$()
Wend
End Function

Same sort of thing.
Open the HTML document, Read it into a string variable and manipulate 
the string using Replace() or whatever is required.

IrfanView has a Batch file renamer and copy/move tool option that might 
work. Might not be as versatile as you  need.

Subject: [dba-Tech] AIM 5.5 video conferencing
Message-ID: <OBEBLFFGGNMGMJPIKIAPAEBPCJAA.rozclarke@ntlworld.com>

I am trying to get IM up and running but I can't get it to talk to iChat
(he's running a Mac). As I've never used it before I don't know whether it
works otherwise or if it doesn't work at all - anyone else have AIM 5.5?
Does anyone have any tips or would like to practice videoconferencing with
me??

TIA

Roz

Thanks for the ideas guys.  I was able to find a freeware product (Flexible
Renamer 7.3 http://www.snapfiles.com/get/flexrenamer.html) that took care of
the bulk renaming.  More features than I can list, including MP3 Tag
support.  It even supported regular expressions...very robust IMO.  As for
making the changes within the HTML, I gave up looking for an automated
solution and just used notepad:(

If your html is XHTML compliant you could use an XML editor. There are 
freebies or trials of things like XMLSPY
to find your
    "<a href="http://www.dunno.org">
    "<img border="0" 
src="http://www.dunno.org/images/wrapper/masthead.jpg" width="750" 
height="97"></a>
Or even write your own code to search and relace through a XML DOM.
