    Email help

    Hi, Hi have a win2k3 Domain Controller which is connected to 3 PC via an ethernet switch. What I want to do is have a program running on the DC that collects all my the emails for all the my various email accounts on my ISP's email server and then I want Outlook on the 3 client PC to connect to the DC to dowload my emails from the DC instead of downloading straight from the ISP's email server which is whats happening now and then distrubute the emails it's downloaded to my 3 PCs I don't really want to go down the MS Exchange root as thats far too complex for my needs. Is this possible? Does anyone know of a program that I can install on my DC that will achieve the above? Many thanks in advance, Terry

    Hard Disk Data Corruption?

    I have a weird problem. I have 4 hard disks connected to my raid controller, but not in raid array. They are: 1x Maxtor 40 gb, 1x Segate 40gb, 1x Maxtor 20gb and 1 x WDC 20gb. The problem that i'm having is that when ever I copy a large file to my F: drive (maxtor 20gb) the data in the file is corrupt. I've tried various latency patches but they haven't seemed to work. I've moved the disk around to other controllers and that hasn't seemed to work either. When copying large file between my other 3 hard drives, there are no problems. This problem is driving me mad. Can anyone suggest what the problem is or a fix? Thanks in advance Tel Athon T/B 1.2@1.33GHZ, KT7A Raid Mobo ,TaiSol CGK760092 HSF, 512MB SD 133Mhz Ram, HIS ATI Radeon 9700 N/P Gfx Card,Turtlebeach Santa Cruz S/C, 2x 20GB HDD, 2x40 GB HDD,DVD Drive, CDRW Drive, 300W PSU, Chieftec Blue Dragon Case, Windows XP Pro SP 1.

What sort of speed improvement can I hope to see with one of the above cards? And which in your opinions is better? Your thoughts on the matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks peps TEL

    WINDOWS XP AND BLANK CDS

    HI I've just reinstalled windows xp pro. Now when I insert a blank cd the autoplay dialogue pops up asking me would i like to create a disk with nero. What I was wondering was how do I activate windows own inbuilt cd recording software? Before i reinstalled xp when I inserted a blank cd, I used to get the option of using xp's recording software. Now when i try to open my cdrw drive with a blank cd in it, it's says please insert a cd ! So it obviously doesn't recongise the fact that there is a blank cd in the drive like it used to. Thanks Tel

    DVD ROM Drive issue

    I'm having a problem with my toshiba sdm 1212 dvd rom drive and windows xp pro. When the drive is in dma mode 2 I get errors copying files from it and it will not play dvds or anything inserted. The error says something about an i/o error occuring. But as soon as I put it in PIO mode it works fine, but in this mode dvd and audio playback are choppy and When i try to copy files from it the computer slows right down. I believe this drive is a DMA mode 2 device (ata 33), that's what it says when my computer boots up and in the bios, so why can't I use it in dma mode 2 in win xp? thanks in advance TEL

    Window XP CORP and windows update?

    HI Folks I have a problem that I hope you lot can help me with. I'm running a corp version of xp (Devils own) and wanted to upgrade to sp1. Knowing this wasn't possible with the key that I had ( the FCKGW one), I got hold of the bluelist key generator and generated a bluelisted cd key. I then installed sp1 final, this went without a problem, but now when I click on windows update, it takes me to the page and when I click on 'scan for updates' it searches and quickly counts to 100 % and says 'there are no updates availible for your computer, check back later' Is this because I'm running a corp version of windows xp and microsoft has blocked my cd key, even tho' I generated it using the bluelist key gen and sp1 installed fine? I was under the impression that a bluelisted cd key wouldn't be blocked by MS and could still use windows update to grab the latest updates or am I completely wrong? If this is the case is there a way around it? Making windows update work again? Thanks in advance TEL

    Window XP CORP and windows update?

    Yes and also another thing I've just remembered. I applied the generated key before I installed sp1 to windows XP and went to windows update before installing sp1 final and got the same message mentioned above, it didn't even list sp1 final as a downloadable upgrade for my pc. I had to download sp1 final from other source. So is there a way to get windows update working again?

    Window XP CORP and windows update?

    Yes I know I'm using an illegal copy, but then again alot of people are. Is there any way I can get windows update working again? Before the final sp1 was released on sept 9th I had sp1 build 1102 installed and when I went to windows update it still listed media player 9 beta and .net framework as updates, but now it doesn't even list them, so it seems to me that windows update isn't working on my pc. How do I fix it? Thanks TEL

    My CDROM Drivers have dissappeared

    Hi yer folks I need your help urgently. I have an abit kt7a and I'm running windows xp pro and I have a dvd rom drive and a cdrw drive. I had a BSOD crash, it said something about win32k.sys (I didn't get to read it all before my pc rebooted like it does) and when my PC finally rebooted my cdrom drives had disappeared from the MY COMPUTER window!!!!. I've tried everything to get them back, uninstalling the cdroms and the interface within HARDWARE DEVICE MANAGER and letting windows scan for changes to find them again which it does, but still my cdrom drives are nowhere to be found. I've tried norton systemworks, thinking it could help me, but it didn't. Please can a knowledgeble person out there come to my aid. I'm hoping that I won't have to do a fresh install of windows xp as I did that about a week ago and have just got everything back the the way it was before the clean install Many many thanks in advance TEL PS does anybody know if it's possible to reinstall windows xp over the old copy like you could with windows 98? I've looked into doing this by booting from the cd. It only seems to give the option of wiping your windows folder (with all your settings and registry). With windows 98 you could reinstall windows and none of your installed programs or settings where harmed. Thanks once again.

    My CDROM Drivers have dissappeared

    I have a raid mobo, so my dvd and cdrom drivess are both masters on the primary and secondary ide channels, my hhds are on the ide raid channels. In device manager it says that my cdrw drive is functioning in 'multi word dma mode 2' and my dvd rom drive is 'ultra dma mode 2'. I can't figure out why one minute there're working fine and then I have a system crash and there're not showing up in 'my computer' Beats me

    How do I reinstall DX in XP

    thanks guys for the info, but how do i reinstall winxp without doing a fresh install? I've tried to reinstall windows xp and it doesn't seem to give you the option. It asks do you want to delete the current window directory. at this stage I normally quit because if I delete my current window directory, it'll be like doing a clean install and my settings and installed programs will be lost. Am I wrong? Before getting windows XP, I was a WIN 98 user and Win XP seems alot different. I know the above question seems stupid, but I'm quite new to XP and am not as familiar with it as I am with win 98. BTW my system spec is: Athon T/B 1200@1300 (200Mhz), KT7A Raid Mobo ,TaiSol CGK760092 HSF, 256MB SD 133Mhz Ram, G/F 2 GTS 32MB Gfx Card, 2x 20GB HDD, 2x40 GB HDD,DVD Drive, CDRW Drive, 300W PSU, Chieftec Blue Dragon Case. I'm not quite sure how I post details of my current drivers. Please can somebody help me with the above points? Thanks in advance TEL

    Help!!!!!!!!

    Hi Hi trying to fix my father in laws pc. He some how managed to corupt the Master Boot Record of his Windows ME partition, which has a lot of work on which he doesn't want to loose. I have tried to replace the mbr with fdisk/mbr command to no avail. I have also tried to fix it with bootmagic and partition magic but this hasn't worked either. Under partition magic the partition is listed as 'type 44 hex' when it should be fat 32. I have now got to the stage of thinking that I'm not going to fix it, but would like to be able to get into the partition to retrive the data before I repartition the hdd and format it. Everything I've tried will not enable me to do this as it isn't recongonised by any OS and isn't even assigned a drive letter. Can anybody please help in either suggesting a way to fix the partition or recommending some software that will enable me to get into the partition and retriving his valuable data? You will have my undying thanks as I'm pulling my hair out!!! Terry
