windows 7 and low-profile video cards, ieee-1284, parallel-usb cable, argos

installed W7 Pro PC in a domain enviroment.

SAV v10.0 won't work with this version. symantec is going to drop support for v10.00 anyway.

so I have to install MS security essentials instead.

the challenge is to install Ieee-1284 device driver for a parallel to USB cable, then install driver for an Argos 203DT PLLB label printer.

another challenge is the generic PC is a low profile one, all add-on cards of course need to be low-profile (or half height). any video card upgrade need to be half-height. if no half height video card to be found, it is hard to cut it in half.

cracky sound from Philips 19" LCD with sound built-in

the lawyer decided that the sound from Philips 19" LCD monitor was too weak, too faint.... can't be heard properly.

you dont have permission to open this PST file

Graig the great, finally decided after 9 years of playing with windows 2000, that he needs a windows 7 computer.

I feel good to sell him a lenovo PC with some discount.

removed oem verision of o2k7, installed o2k7 small biz retail which is on special, same price as the basic version.

Craig has a peer-2-peer network in his office, so I copied his profile to another PC, then copied his data back to new PC.

No, windows 7 cardspace can't open windows 2000 cardspace files...or is it? somehow got around this problem..

the biggest problem is can't open PST files from outlook 2000(2002?). I kept getting error like "no permission ..."  even if i granted the user full control.... never seen this kind of problem before...

install o2k7 sp2, then make a copy of the outlook2000 pst file like craigpst-copy, then outlook 2007 can open this file-copy now.

then the local LF2000 need a dongle to run.... the local law society techie Jenny just disappeared after my first phone call....

I have this similar weird problem last year  at another site...

an faulty Lenovo desktop PC and faint IBM support phone line

well, Cathy called that her PC not starting up, only power led flashing at front panel, nothing on the monitor.

luckily the PC is under warranty. I called local IBM/lenovo phone number. oh dear, their phone line is so noisy, its a mess. Someone answered my query, and said its the motherboard. their tech will be onsite to replace it next monday.

i am disappointed at the IBM support phone line quality. I am quite happy to talk to a white guy (IBM/Lenovo oz) or an indian guy (HP).

I just pray that IBM/Lenovo do not disappear, or HP with Intel or MS will rule the world.

grant send as permission in exchange server 2003

ah, its not easy. I haven't done that for a long time. there are 3 levels of permission.

send on behalf

and ???

and send as

to grant send as , in ADUC, grant send as permission .... Not enough... also need grant SELF send as permission.

setup a new Iphone. put in the simcard. the iphone showed a lock and no service. also it indicated that I need install itunes in order to go further.

to change the simcard, you need the clip+needle thing.

Announcing SharePoint Server 2010 Preliminary System Requirements


We’ve heard loud and clear that you want system requirements information as early as possible to assist in your budgeting and planning, so today we’re happy to announce (and confirm) some preliminary system requirements for SharePoint Server 2010:



SharePoint Server 2010 will be 64-bit only.

SharePoint Server 2010 will require 64-bit Windows Server 2008 or 64-bit Windows Server 2008 R2.

SharePoint Server 2010 will require 64-bit SQL Server 2008 or 64-bit SQL Server 2005.

re-gain remote access to my Windows 2008 R2 server at work

http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/06/25/how-to-remotely-enable-remote-desktop-terminal-services-or-rdp-via-registry-in-windows-2000xp2000vista2008/

I forgot to restart the windows 2008 R2 when I removed the remote desktop services ( terminal server role).

as a result I can remote in to install sharepoint 2010 beta.

the trick is to do shutdown -m \\myhostname -r

that solves the problem.

network files access is slow, files slow to open ... its a paging file problem

network files access is slow, files slow to open..... windows 2003 file server, an IBM x226.

used taskmgr to monitor the bandwidth usage ... its at 1% of 100Mb.

wondering why, since all PCs in the lan having the same problem, it must be the server.

updating the server and doing ping tests, there were packets losses, high pings to the gateway in a small network!

oh dear, luckily there was a clue in the veritas backup log, indicated second drive was failing which was used for internal backup. the 2nd dirve in x226 was also used for paging. so there was No paging file.

re-set the paging file location solved the problem.

test again on a client PC, network usage can go up to 67~68%.

No more cabling.

adobe 5.5, adobe 6.0 and later versions of Adobe 7, 8, 9

adobe 5.5, adobe 6.0 and later versions of Adobe 7, 8, 9...

well the accountant couldn't open the online pdf file. her PC is too old, adobe 5.5  was loaded.
uninstall old version, and install the new adobe reader 9. all good.

VMWare esx versions

ESX full
ESXi
ESXi Free

ESXi Free I tried months ago doesn't like realtek NIC, the installation will simply crash. on the contrary, Citrix Xen likes realtek NIC.

Outlook 2010 beta out of office problem with the hosted exchange 2010

for some unknown reason, the outlook 2010 OOF didn't work with the test exchange 2010. OWA's OOF is fine.

configure iphone with a SBS 2003

the SBS 2003 self-signed cert expired. inetmgr, at the root of IIS, replace the expired certificate for a new one.
well, still not working. iphone reports an error "can't get mail". owa works both internally and externally.
luckily i tested the iphone with internal access point, all good. but still got problem via internet.

when i tried to access the IIS root via IE over internet. I got an access error. had a closer look, only to find out the IIS at the \ is configured IP addess restriction which limits access to the local LAN IPs. removing this limit, all sweet.

internet radio won't play

the IE finnaly plays the radio after 3GB's temp files were cleaned out.

import csv contacts into public folder (exchange 2003)

no direct way to do that. import to personal folder first. then copy to public folder.

got a range error when directly import excel file.

then try csv format, this time outlook will install some translater. then it will ask for some match fields which is good.
