Software Restriction Policy Problem in XP
by Guest lkubler- 0 replies
- 52 views
Hi, Classic problem here. I have been asked to configure a workstation so that the only thing that can run is IE and a specific site. It is for a time and attendance application, management wants a station setup so staff don't have to wait for their workstations to boot to clock in in the morning. So I am playing with software restriction policies on a test workstation. It is not part of our domain so I am using the local security policies and have been referencing this article: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb457006.aspx I created a software restriction policy and set the default security level to Disallowed because I only want them running IE. I did…

We have a computer here from a very important client, and we are having some difficulties. It is a Sony Vaio laptop that is our client's newly assigned work computer. The user before her, and the administrator have lost both passwords, and the guest account is disabled, so we have no way of logging in to the system. It is running Windows XP Professional x86. Our client had previously worked with the computer, and there are important company files and software on the system she needs to be able to access. More information on the system: The laptop did not originally come with Windows XP, it was running Windows ME originally when purchased from Sony. It…

IE repeatedly asks for authentication
by Guest Slavomir Tecl- 0 replies
- 53 views
I've got a web application running on Tomcat with Digest authentication, when I first enter the webapp in IE I'm being asked for credentials and it occurs again without a reason but not for every request. By inspecting incoming requests in Fiddler and from the actual Authenticator implementation I can see that cnonce values are reused and nonce-count gets increment correctly but requests were sent in a wrong order. This one having auth header Authorization: Digest username="admin",realm="Realm",nonce="1331743957403:f9045aa37b855fd47a83365d1ca141fe",uri="/webapp/images/admin_header.gif",cnonce="be4f3408326bb74091fa129de6fca8c6",nc=00000011,response="6ea0228612c2840f61f9a…

Repeatedly Get Diagnose Connection Problems Page in Internet Explorer 9
by Guest Dale J Takacs- 0 replies
- 55 views
I am running Windows 7 with IE9 and when I open a browser or a new tab within an already open browser I get the Diagnose Connection Page. I refresh the page and it comes up but it gets very annoying to have the Diagnose Connection Page come up. I ran a constant ping when this error occured as well as I have checked my event log for any Internet Explorer errors. I have several computers on my network and none of them are experiencing this issue. I have firefox and chrome installed as well and they do not have these issues but I use IE for some work sites. I have rebooted the machine as well as the router and have also ensured that all of the patches are up to date on the c…

Transferring files/programs from HDD to SSD
by Guest jaycle- 0 replies
- 49 views
I'm running Win 7 64 on a 500 GB mechanical drive and I just bought a new 128 GB ssd drive that I would like to make my primary drive. After reviewing the forums, I've decided to do a fresh install of Win 7 64 onto it. After that is complete, how do I transfer everything else from the mechanical drive to the ssd drive? There is only about 60 GB of data/programs that need to be transferred over. I've looked at easy transfer utility, but that is for an external HDD or and different computer. I would prefer to use a Win 7 utility to do this. Thanks. Continue reading...

I have a donated Toshiba laptop (new) with 7 Home Premium on it. I have 50 licenses for MAK or KMS Win7 Pro with SA and want to use three! My computer won't let me use the Professional Upgrade disc, and instructs me to use the "Anytime Upgrade." That gets held up by the fact that it won't accept the MAK or KMS. Am I stuck having to reinstall from scratch? Thanks! S Continue reading...

by Guest HFM D Patterson- 0 replies
- 56 views
Last week I used IEAK 8 for the first time to create a custom flat-file IE8 for Windows XP SP3 (x86). I have a few issues were IEAK 8 does not seem to be working properly. I appreciate any insight as to how to resolve these issues. First, while running the Internet Explorer Customization Wizard 8 on my PC, the Accelerators step will not add the accelerators I want.

ID & Password Prompt When ONLY Opening Excel Docs with IE8
by Guest Shortess- 0 replies
- 58 views
We have a web application where we retrieve excel docs. To get into the initial site it prompts for a user ID and password, which it is suppose to do. When I go to retrieve an Excel doc it prompts me again for an id and password before it opens. You can enter your password again or just hit cancel and it opens either way. Is there a way to get rid of that password prompt? This happens for Excel docs ONLY. I can open all other docs without having the Credential box pop up numerous times. I have tried the following: Added the site as a trusted site: That does NOT work. Called my Company’s Help Desk: They do NOT know how to fix it. I have tried logging in to the …

Windows 7 DriverStore
by Guest Jay.lambert- 0 replies
- 144 views
For some reason the C:\Windows\System32\Driverstore is not getting cleaned up when i run Sysprep /generalize. i thought the /Generalize switch would remove all of the non default drivers. (the driver store looks to be around 650mb on a vanilla windows install, but it's 1.3gb on my image). I have built a hardware agnostic image by adding a driver folder and linking the devicepath in the registry to it, so i would like the DriverStore to only have the default drivers in it. is there a safe way of cleaning it up? Yeah Buddy! Continue reading...
