I'm currently downloading a 4gb torrent file in a VirtualBox guest running Windows XP. The host is Windows 7. Where do I install Net Balancer for more effectiveness?
I have 20 PCs (Windows XP) in remote locations connecting to the same server (Windows Server 2003) using Remote Desktop over a VPN. On just one of the PCs the remote desktop screen flashes (redraws) multiple times after connecting, the others don't. The screen resolution is the same: local is 800x600 32bit; RDP file is set to full screen, 256 color; remote when connected is 800x600 8bit color.
Any suggestions what the problem might be, or what to investigate next?
Is it possible to have more than two active VPN connections on Windows XP?
I have a customer with three VPN client connections on Windows XP Professional. I can connect to any two sites at the same time, but the third connection always fails. Is this a limit within the operating system?
I have a Belkin wireless router and all devices including my laptop can connect to the internet. However I can't get my laptop running on Windows XP to connect to my printer through my PC running on Windows Vista. I read all the posts but nothing works. I get an error message on my laptop saying 'The name of my network' doesn't give me permission. How do I change this?
On Windows Vista, I right-click on a folder, Properties, Sharing tab, and either "Advanced Sharing" or "Share"-"Share" causes an error:
Windows File Sharing
This program will not run
Access is denied.
Close
My user account is an "administrator" on this machine.
I think this behavior changed since my computer was added to the new domain recently. I have other folders shared (from long ago), and they continue to be shared just fine.
On a Windows 7, the working set memory usage plus private memory does not add up to the total used memory in Task Manager and Windows 7 Resource Monitor.
How do you find out where the used memory is coming from?
The cached memory can't be part of it because sometimes the total cache is greater than the total in use. The commit memory plus the working set also doesn't add up to the total in use - but even that shouldn't be significant if it did, since commit is virtual.
Let's say I have Windows installed on drive C, however I install all of my programs on the D drive, and I keep my user profile on the D drive as well (things like My Documents). How can I have Windows use those folders instead of the ones on the C drive?
Just successfully installed and ran windows 8 to go on an external usb hdd.
After shutdown and removing the usb hard disk, tried to start my laptop which has a single windows 7 system, but failed to boot and even repair trials didn't succeed.
It seems that win 8 affected the strucure of the laptop hard drive which results in corruption in its main win 7 partition.
How to fix that and avoid future problems of the same type?
thanks.

I have two Windows Server 2003 and both have DFS and it does replication between them.
I would like to migrate the primary win2k3 DFS server to win2k8. what is the best way to do that?
I found this article:
Migrate a Domain-based Namespace to Windows Server 2008 Mode
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753875.aspx
But I am interested only on migrating the DFS replication and not the namespace.
Thanks.
I purchased a license and used Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit OS for a while. But recently I bought a 64 bit version to take advantage of the larger RAM the machine had and hence reinstalled the OS and activated a new license for the 64-bit version. Now, I am in a need to install the 32 bit version on another machine.
How do I go about reactivating a license on another machine? (again the license currently is not used) Am I going to have issues with Microsoft not letting me reactivate that license on a different machine?
Thank you.
Why do I get updates (in Windows Update) for Office components that are not installed?
E.g. I have not installed InfoPath or Publisher but Windows Update lists updates for them.
Should I ignore them (will it waste space?) or do I need to install them?
We noticed that on W7 with DPI set to 125% or to 100% with ("Use windows xp style dpi scaling") turned off, our fullscreen mode (which sets the client rect of our window = desktop rect of the main monitor) no longer hides the task bar like it does for other settings.
(The setting can be found in the Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Display section after clicking on the "Set custom text size (DPI)" link)
I found the following interesting article:
http://www.mathies.com/weblog/?p=908
So I set out to try to work around the bug in other means than manually hiding/restoring the taskbar visibility but so far I've failed and currently believe it's a bug in W7 (and possibly vista).
The following applications also fail to work properly in fullscreen mode (the taskbar is still visible):
* Microsoft Visual Studio 2008
* Microsoft Word 2007
* Adobe Reader 9.1.3
These apps work (probably by hiding the task bar through the WIN32 API):
* Powerpoint Slide Show
I also tried creating a brand new MFC-based app and use its "SetFullScreenMode()" functionality but it fails in the same way as all other apps on the list.
Does anyone know of a workaround?
Thanks,

I'm having too many intermittent problems with my DLINK DIR 400 router:
Wireless connection is lost with no reason.
Perhaps the current router is incompatible with this Scientific Atlanta cable modem DPC 2100R2.
Scientific Atlanta is a Cisco company, but I'm really worried about this combination DLink - Cisco.
Could anyone recommend me a good wireless router for Windows Vista / Windows 7?
Thank you
I get this error when installing any network adapter on my computer:
The device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)
I have tried many different adapters and many different drivers. Any ideas?

When my new Dell laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium and 4GB RAM sleeps (not when it hibernates), it will drain the battery overnight.
My old Dell laptop with XP Pro (2 GB RAM) could sleep for days without running out of battery.
Is it normal that Windows 7 sleep is this power-hungry or should I troubleshoot my new machine?
Edit: I know how to set the different sleep/hibernate settings. That is not what I'm asking.

I was trying to put the Windows 8 Consumer Preview onto a thumb drive, when I was asked if I was OK with wiping it (I said yes I as it was blank).
I had to sleep my computer during the wiping, and now I can't do anything with my dive.
When I put it into my computer:
When I click format disk:
In short, the disk never reformats (I get an error message letting me know that Windows was unable to format the drive). Whats going on, and how do I fix it?
Microsoft offers the standalone Hyper-V server for free. I'm wondering if I can install roles other than the Hyper-V role on this? I know installing other roles alongside Hyper-V is a bad practice, but what I'm trying to ask is if the Hyper-V Server edition of Windows Server allows installation of other roles, like DNS server, File Server etc. Infact I'm not interested in running Hyper-V, just looking for a free windows server to install some roles on.
Thanks

A Windows service has 4 different startup types that can be configured: Automatic, Automatic (delayed), Manual and Disabled.
I have a service running on a combination of Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2 Desktops that I need to set as 'Automatic (delayed)' using a GPO setting, but from what I can see in the GPO editor, the delayed option is missing:
Have I missed something obvious, or is this a rather basic omission from Microsoft?

I downloaded a .zip file the other day and extracted it using 7zip from my desktop to my laptop over my home network, when it finished, its filename and the filename of its contents was green.
What does this mean, can i revert it to normal, has anything been modified and is there a list somewhere of color codes for windows file names.. ? (I can recall seeing blue somewhere before).
I have installed Windows Server 2008 on the latest version of Sun Virtual box. I have some web sites hosted in the Windows Server virtual machine. How can I access the websites hosted on the virtual machine from the host machine. Currently, the network adapter is set to work in NAT mode.
Thanks in advance.
