IE options being reset

berzurker
Within the last couple of days, I've noticed my homepage being reset to a random search page. When I boot up IE, it redirects me to aaklb. dll in the Windows directory. I've tried just deleting the file, but it keeps reappearing.

Norton Ghost and DVD burner problem

gulab
When I try to use Norton Ghost 2003 to image c: drive to DVD+RW plextor external drive with USB port, it just refuses to do it, even though the software does have an option to image to USB drive. I contacted Plextor and they claim that probably Norton Ghost does not support USB drives.

DVD Overlays on NT4

Curley_Boy
Does anyone else here play DVDs on NT4? I can't for the life of me find a compatible player, and the problem is overlays. I can get most players to install and run fine (even detect and play the dvd) but the screen is greyed out.

dnatrance
Hey, I have a 2000 server that keeps trying to go into standby for no reason. I checked the power options and it is set to ac power. It isnt actually going into standby because a service is preventing it but I would like to get this fixed.

Problem with .INI File in .MSI Package

Mike777
Hello, One of the software products that I am trying to create an MSI package for uses its own INI file in the Windows directory. The problem is that if a copy of this INI file already exists (from an older install of the same product) the MSI will not touch it.
