DVD/CD-ROM Drives don't recognize DVD discs

Sinluan

There may be a simple solution to this vexing situation but I'll be darned if I can find my way to one. When I got my last video card (ASUS V8420 Ti 4200 128mb) a Power DVD software program came bundled with it.

Remove outlook express icon on Server 2003

glen8

I am setting up a new terminal server running Windows 2003. I dont want our users to have the outlook express icon on the start > programs bar. Can someone tell me how to get rid of it ? I have looked in group policy and even tried deleteing the shortcut from the all users folder but it still keeps coming back.

How do you resize the Start Menu window?

Sinluan

I don't know how it came about but the other day my Start Menu window went on a crash diet and shrank in width to about 50% or less of it's former size. I've tried ignoring it but it's always in my face, if you know what I mean, hehe.

Windows 2003 AD does not recognize my domain controller?

dcxman

Morning all. I finished setting up my Windows 2003 Ent. Svr with AD. Everything went well with DNS setup prior to DCPROMO along with DCPROMO itself having no conflicts with DNS. I also did the AD intergration with my primary DNS zone which went well without a hitch.

Batch convert WPD to DOC ?? Possible?

duhmez

My people had a borrowed copy of wordperfeft which is now gone, machine died, money is tight, licenses are now enforced so more unlicensed software. MS office is fully licensed, many Wordperfect documents exist.
