I have search my commupter for System.mdw and it isn't installed with Office. Open Accsess without oppening database. Then Chose from menu "Tools", "Security" and "Admin Workgroup". Then this wizard will create System.mdw.

PS: I have slovenian version of Office, so this translated menu option may not be accurate

xp home edition support multiple boot?

21-Nov-05 4:46

"from menu "Tools", "Security" and "Admin Workgroup". Then this wizard will create"

Thanks, but that didn't work because you need the system.mdw to be able to access the security envir.

However, What I did was: I ran a search for MSAccess and delete access from there then I reinstall office. Bingo! it worked.

if you try to uninstall and resinstall office it may not solve the problem. It didn't work for me.

Thanks Big Grin | :-D

Hi, does anyone know that windows xp home edition support multiple boot or not?

Saksida Bojan16-Nov-05 19:59

I "think" it does. There is a file: "C:\Boot.INI" and it has system and hidden attributes. You can manualy edit the file

When you are installing Windows XP with multiple boot, watch out for Partition Type.

Example:
If you have Windows 98 installed and have FAT32. Then you convert to NTFS, then this windows will not run, because it doesn't support NTFS filesystem

If you are installing XP on the same partition as 98, Folder "Program Files" will be the same as both system. And there is high probability, that in 98 the internet explorer will not work.

After installing on the same Partition as 98, on the last restart, boot menu will disaper, so you need manualy edit C:\Boot.ini.

Example
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
C:\="Windows 98"

NT based windows (Including 2000 and XP) have partiton based selection.
Windows 95,98,ME must be drive:\="Name" drive is where is windows installed

ps: Sorry for my poor english, and i hope you understanded

Thank you very much for your detail explnation. Your english is very good and very easy to understand. It is true that windows 98 could not run under NTFS file system and if i install windows xp pro in the same partion it would have a problem with an existing windows program file folder. I have a lot of trouble with this before, now i have an experience that install windows in a difference partition would make me much for easier to manage. But what i concern is windows xp home support multiple boot like windows xp pro or not? Because i never install it before and now it is the time that i need to research about xp home edition.

try this:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q306559/[^]

At the bootom page, there is:
APPLIES TO
• Microsoft Windows XP Professional
• Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition

So you can install Home Edition with multiboot

ps: Home Edition doesn't have "group policy". Professional has more features than Home edition, but if you aren't advanced user, that need specific setting, then home edition will work same as proffesional. And if you need that specific setting, then you need to play with register

Thanks

You do not need to write an addition application to do this task. It is already build in option in the windows group polocies. Check this option in the group polocies: Network security: Force logoff when logon hours expire.

Anyone have any experiance setting up a web farm? We want to farm IIS on two different servers together. Do we need a third machine to manage the traffic or can one of the machines do that?
