Mysterious "Blocked startup programs" Notification
by Guest Bill- 5 replies
- 85 views
I am having trouble figuring out what is actually being blocked at startup. Recently, when I restart my computer, "Blocked startup programs" notification icon appears in the notification area at the right of the taskbar. When I right-click the icon, I have the option to "Show or remove blocked startup programs" or to "Run blocked program". If I click the "Show or remove" option, I get a System Configuration Utility dialog box with checkbox lists of Startup Items, but no indication of which item I should unblock. On the other hand, if I run the pointer over the "Run blocked program" line, I get pop-up line showing the multi-colored Microsoft shield an…

VBScript Login Script
by Guest MarkMorow- 0 replies
- 85 views
Forgive me if this was already posted elsewhere, I wasn't able to locate it. Currently we have a login script that is a VBScript that is assigned to each user object. It is not being applied through Group Policy. This script has worked fine in XP and currently does, however in Vista it doesn't run. If I run regserv32 vbscript.dll as an administrator, the script works fine. 1.) Is there any way to run the VBScript as a login script without registering this DLL? Do you need to be an admin to run this? What are my options? 2.) If VBScript is not longer natively supported without registering the ..DLL, what is the default scripting engine preferred to r…

Avast -- resident protection
by Guest t-4-2- 9 replies
- 113 views
Hello everyone, In an earlier post, I inquired whether I should turn off Avast's "residen protection" as it was scanning my internet mails. I was advised to turn it off. I did. But now Security Center was warning that Malware Protection was turned off, and it listed Avast as being turned off. So, I turned it back on. My question is : I thought I was just turning off part of the Avast's protection. No ? -- t-4-2

Hello: I have Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 and I have tried this before with other versions of Vista with no success. What I'm trying to do is copy a user profile by copying everything under C:\Users\Bobby\ and overwriting everything in C:\Users\Tommy\.

I saw a few Google results for this but all I've seen all posts about the problem itself, but no definite answers. This is the process that I follow: 1.)

We are using ISA 2004 as both Firewall & Proxy. Also we configured VPN on this server. Currently we are facing issue with Cisco IP communicator while connecting through VPN, we can hear the ring in the other end, but unable to hear the voice on both ends after picking up the call. In ISA we enabled all outbound traffic from VPN to Internal network. Please suggest how can we resolve this issue.
