After implementing win2000 auto-logon in registry I am having the following problems with VC 6.0.
While starting project (load last project) in VC 6.0 I get an error from VSS "unable to access log file", than I get VSS logon dialog - I guess it is reasonable since my VSS user access is password protected and the auto-logon did not "pass the password " to the VSS.
Fine, but after entering the password VSS still complains and I have to cancel it.
The final problem - the project does not load all the files and I get "hourglass" after starting the debug process. Again - it is somewhat expected.
Anybody experiences similar problems?
I know the obvious solution - do not do auto-logon in Win 2000 !
Cheers Vaclav

Hello Everyone,
We have just moved from a x86 system to Win2003 64-bit version and there I couldnt find the ODBC Drivers. The only driver listed is the SQL Server one. All other drivers are missing.
I have some applications that are using the Text Driver and now they are failing.
What should I need to install in order to get those drivers back?
Thanks in advance

Hi, I have a problem with my e-mail server which is using Symentic Corporate Edition 10.1. Our e-mail system is using mdaemon mail server and the problem is when the RealTime scanner of symentic scan on the folder of Mdaemon, will cause the problem of slow, stuck or duplicate e-mail to user. Because we need the system to protect our e-mail system, we try to find the solution which could solve the above problem. Does anyone has any idea on how to fix the above problem? Thank in advance

I think that's a feature.
After quite some fighting with Symantec support about similar issues on their earlier versions I've made all my customers swap to F-Secure.
No complaints so far, from my customers that is.
I've got to learn to read the questions properly.
If I understand correctly you are using a realtime file scanner on the mail folder.
I suggest that you buy/get/install a dedicated mailscanner on your system and exclude the mail folder from realtime scanning.

Hello again!!! Does the mail scanner software could protect the mail server an any anti-virus server or could scan only an e-mail message for the virus in the attachment file?
Thank for your answer!!!

Normally an smtp mailscanner is installed on a separate computer as a gateway, where all messages including the attachments is scanned before reaching the mailserver.
Knowing that you today are using MDaemon and Symantec I can recommend some reading here[^] and here[^].
Remember that using two different antivirus products on one computer might lead to odd and funny results.

Thank you very much for your comment. I will study more deeply about these two product.

HijackThis[^] is a great tool for virus removal. It's very advanced though, and scans for common virus connection points rather than know viruses, so it's false positive rate is very high. You must know what you are doing before removing anything found by HijackThis or you'll accidentally end up removing important windows components. If you don't know what you are doing, run the scan and post the log to a security forum. There a specialist forums around dedicated to hijack this log analysis. (Don't post it at CP)
RootKitReveler[^] is a handy tool for scanning for rootkits. Again this is quite an advanced level tool.
Perhaps some alternative (free) virus scanners will be better at removing this virus:
Avg[^]
Avast[^]
Avira[^]
Comodo[^]
There's also a handy service at VirusTotal.com[^]. You can upload suspicious files, and it will run a whole lot of virus checkers against it and give you the results.

If anyone is interested in having a look at the product key that is included in a xp cd disk ; then go to : www.KevinDonahue.com and the instructions are on one of the links on the opening page.He says that a couple of the folders are sometimes hidden and that you have to look for the file called " unattend .txt "; if you can 't find the folder and sub folder that contain it.;when you right click on the cd drive and choose "explore" after having put the xp cd disk into the drive.
About a dozen folders and files come up on the screen when you right click on the cd drive and altho the two folders were not listed on my Dell 2006 xp sp2 cd disk ; I was able to easily find the "unattend" file by opening up the " 1386 " folder that is listed and scroll thru the dozens of files which were listed in alphabetical order.
When I clicked on the file it opened up in a notepad format type of document; that says it is " a sample [ Unattended Setup Answere File ] and contains information about how to automate the installation or upgrade of windows so the setup program runs without requiring user input.;and that you can find more information in the ref.chm found at CD:\support\tools\deploy.cab ".
Then;it continues with a few lines of code.
If you scroll to the bottom of the one page file you should see the word 'product key" and a 25 digit number/letter combination next to it.
The product key that was listed in my " unattend " file was "RH6M6-7PPK4-YR86H- YFFFX-PW8M8".
I have two DELL XP-SP2 cd disks: one is a 2005 copy right and the 2nd is a 2006 copy right.
I ran both of those XP cds in the cd drive and the identical product key number was listed in the "unattend" file for each of the XP cd disks.
That product key is alot different than the product key label that is fastened to my computer and it does not work if I enter that product key number [from the unattend file] when prompted to enter the product key if doing a re-installation of the XP operating system.

Its nice being able to do stuff like that for OEM re-branded copies of Windows. Keep in mind that the license is non-transferable and only to be used on the belonging computer, so it might only be legal for Windows reinstallation/customization (I think…)
Don’t forget that this will only work on re-branded CDs which come with when you buy some computers. (Such as Dell, HP, Toshiba etc.)
You can also see the current Windows license key by using a program like magic jelly bean keyfinder.
I would suggest that you remove your entire product key to keep other people from using it (which might invalidate it)

I am not particularly concerned if someone else tries using that product key as I do not use that type of automated installation procedure [with no user input].
When I do new xp re-installations on my computer; I use the xp cd disc and enter the product key that is on the label that came with the computer ;when prompted by the cd /computer to enter a product key.
Is there a possibility that if that product key that is in the "unattend.txt" file were to become invalidated ;that it would also then automatically invalidate the other xp product key [that is attached to the Dell computer on a label]; and no longer work when prompted by the xp cd to enter a product key number and/or not get activated by the activating wizard after doing a new re-installation using the xp cd.
The "unattend.txt" file and its automated xp re-installations [with or without re-formatting] must be an option used by some companies who have a few or a few dozen computers on a LAN network and allows the administrator to do multiple xp re- installation upgrades simultaneously by remote control.

Hi, I am running Vista Business x64 on two 750GB HDs configured as RAID0.
Both hard discs report R/W errors at bootup and I'd like to move my system over to two new HDs and upgrade a little in the process (the new discs are 2x 1000GB).
So I assume I need to:
1) backup all files to a 5th disk when running some sort of live boot CD OS, so I can access and copy all typically locked OS files.
2) yank the old disks and replace with new, and setup the new RAID 0 (i.e. make the partitions)
3) copy all files back from 5th disk using same live boot CD OS
Here are my questions:
a) how do I make sure the boot sector information is setup appropriately?
b) is there any GPL or similar software that helps with this? If not, any $$$ software?
Thanks,
Ingmar

Hi Gurus,
I have written a windows service in VB.Net, and I want to run it hidden under the main SVCHOST instance like the many other windows-own services. (i.e. Network Connections, Firewall, ...etc)
BR,
Khallaf

It's probably possible, but as far as I know, MS doesn't publish the interface requirements for hosting your service under svchost. Your service has to be a dll, not an exe for a start, and you control what services are hosted using registry keys (see here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314056[^]), but it's not supported by MS, so they don't give out much info.
Why would you want to anyway? What's wrong with the supported way of running services?

I had dual OS Win Xp crystal and Vista and i installed windows Xp Professional , now i have two win Xps but no vista is showing in boot option how can i bring my vista option back in boot.ini or something that i dont have to reinstall Vista Again

You should install the OS's in age order. XP doesn't know about vista, so it accidentally corrupts it's boot sector. Vista on the other hand knows about XP, so will ensure the boot sector remains valid.
Stick the vista dvd in your drive and boot, and run the repair boot sector option. That should sort it out. (Assuming you didn't accidentally install XP over the top of vista  )
We had a similar problem with an old hard drive imager that didn't handle the vista boot sector properly.

Every time I start VPC Console, I get the error message below. Choosing to not show the message again doesn't help, and there are no missing VPC's to remove, as instructed. This looks like a registry issue, but Google shows up very little on this issue.
Sorry, forgot the error message, and I can't re-create it.  I moved the VPC folder out from under "My Virtual Machines", and restarted the console, and it still found the VPC folder! 
Anyway, it was complaining that it couldn't find VPC's that were present in the console.

Your chance of recieving an answer might be slightly higher if you had actually included the error message.
