very similar to: http://superuser.com/questions/111095/sync-google-calendar-with-oulook-calendar-2007
But with one caveat. I'm running Windows 7 and Google Calendar Sync is not compatible. Any ideas on how I can sync my Google and Outlook 2007 calendars?
I have windows xp installation files on a USB drive using wintoflash. I've downloaded mass storage driverpack and slipstreamed them into the install. when the bootup begins I press f6 at the appropriate screen to enable sata drivers for my harddrive. Then it comes to the partition/harddrive selection screen, I only see my usb flash stick. I'm at my wits end with this problem. I need to install xp.
An application I use regularly is command-line based, and I would like to add the most used commands in the Windows Explorer's context menu that pops up when right-clicking on a file or folder.
From what I read, a lot of programs in that menu are COM applications.
Is there an easier way to add commands to the menu, as an alternative to opening a DOS box and typing commands? Ideally, it should work for XP, Vista, and 7.
I had to format a USB hard drive to ext3 to use it with a Linksys nas box. Now I can't read the hd when I unplug it from the nas and plug it directly into my Windows 7 computer. (The computer accesses the nas over a wireless connection, so I like to plug the hd directly into my pc when transferring large files.)
How can I leave the hd formatted with ext3 and yet be able to access it (read/write) when I plug it directly into my pc?
How do I mirror a monitor in Windows Vista?
I do not want to "extend" the desktop to the monitor, but I want the second monitor (a TV in this case) to be an exact copy of the main monitor.
I'm using Outlook on Windows Mobile 6.1 connected to an Exchange server. Even if I check the Sent folder in my synchronization options, the folder always shows up as having no messages. Even emails that I've sent FROM my phone do not show up, leaving me with no way to view those. Anything else I can check or enable to see these messages?
Hi
We have a windows server that has been running for a few years, it has the Java runtime installed, which is purely used for the Dell software. Over the years various updates have been applied filling up the c:\ drive. the updates are about 200Mb each, and there seem to be a few jre.. folder in the Program File/Java folder. Can I delete some of the older ones? any ideas?
I know this question has probably been asked at some point in the past, but I am trying to figure out if Windows 7 supports passing TRIM commands through RAID controllers yet.
I am trying to decide between buying a single SSD drive and utilizing TRIM or
Buying two SSD drives and putting them in RAID 0 configuration
What is the fastest current configuration I can set up?
I want my development machine to be BLAZING fast.
In windows7 how do I request a new dhcp lease ?
What I need in the equivalent of the button "repair" on windows XP. The button "diagnose" seems to do a few things but not request a new dhcp lease if one is already available.
Disabling and re-enabling the card does the trick but messes up any program capturing traffic on the interface.
I was given access to a Windows Server 2008 box and I need to check what all permissions I have on that box (if possible in the entire domain). I don't have access to domain controller and I don't want to write LDAP queries but just some GUI option or some command line stuff. Is there anyway?
PS: I am not in to network administration, I am a BI developer. Pardon me if asked a stupid question.
Windows Vista introduced ReadyBoost which lets you use a Flash drive as a third (after RAM and HD) type of memory.
It occurred to me that I could boost peformance on an old PC here w/ Win XP (32 bit, max'd at 4GB RAM) by putting it's swap file (page file) on a flash drive.
(Now, before anyone comments: apparently Flash drives (10-30MB/s transfer rates) are slower than HDD (100+ MB/s) (I'm asking that as a separate question on this forum).
Hi, I am running Windows Server 2008 R2 and I am looking for a free tool.
I start a number of batch jobs running inside command prompt. I want to shrink them significantly, so that I can see the Window titles only. I usually shrink them by hand and move them to another monitor.
I am looking for a tool that can do that work for me as soon as certain apps start up.
Thanks!
We're having some issues with Windows 7 Roaming profiles and I was reading here that the login process can be monitored using process monitor.
"There are a couple of ways to configure Process Monitor to record
logon operations: one is to use Sysinternals PsExec to launch it in
the session 0 so that it survives the logoff and subsequent logon and
another is to use the boot logging feature to capture activity from
early in the boot, including the logon."
How does one do either of these options using process monitor to find out what is happening during a user login?
Hi,
i have installed a SQL2008 Server developer-Edition on my Dell Precision M90 Notebook with windows Vista, but the service dosen't start.
SQL Server Configuration Manager shows MSSQLSERVER as stopped and an attempt to start this service fails. No entry in eventviewer... where to look?
What might be the reason?
I had to reinstall Windows XP on my Aspire 5720 and now I'm reinstalling the drivers. There are two touchpad drivers and I don't know how to find out which is the right one for my system. I've run the program Acer provides that looks at your hardware, but it doesn't tell me which touchpad I have. The two drivers are Alps and Synaptics -- is there any way I can determine which one I need? Thanks!
I will be buying a 2TB hard drive soon, and would like to use it as media storage. I would like to be able to read/write from both Windows (version 7, 64bit) and Ubuntu Linux, and I need support for files greater than 4GB in size (so I think this rules out FAT32).
I'm using IFS drives at the moment to access my linux ext4 partitions, and I find it unstable. Does this mean NTFS? Is there something else I'm missing?
I have some Windows XP machines that are using the standard Firewall to control traffic.
I have a need to allow all incoming traffic on all ports from the local subnet (255.255.255.0).
I have looked at the settings and it would appear that I can indeed set scope for a rule, but a rule is applied only against an application or a single port.
Is there a method to do this?
Windows Mobile Media player is good for MP3s, but I'm looking for an alternative (free or for a small fee) that will allow me to play other formats like Ogg Vorbis, AAC, and also handle Internet Radio streams (gotta be able to listen to AH.FM for my PsyTrance fix.)
I have a Sprint HTC TouchPro2 with the new WinMo 6.5 ROM installed.
What do you recommend?
How do I change my windows domain password when my PC is not on the domain?
I know Outlook web access normally provides this option, but that option has been switched off.
What effect, if any, does the number of icons on a user's Windows XP desktop have on system performance? Can a large number of desktop icons slow down a system?
