Hi there,

 I am trying to install Windows Defender on my system running Windows XP Service Pack 2. My user has all the privileges for installation of software as I install much software on it using the same account.

Yesterday, when I tried to install Microsoft Windows Defender, I got a message of shortage of system privileges. The actual error is seen below.

Windows defender installer error

Windows Defender Installer Information

Service 'Windows Defender' (WinDefend) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.

I checked my user account and it has the administrative privileges, so I...

Hello my friends at this forum.

Please don’t laugh or else I will become angry with you because the affected computer is Pentium III, running Windows 2000 PRO SP4 with 256MB of RAM. It’s not my fault, it is something done by Microsoft.

Today, I faced one of the funniest errors in history, while trying to install a trial pack of Office 2010.

The error says,

Error for Error

Error Error

An error occurred while displaying the previous error.

Although this is something funny, I'm still cautious about it, as I think something is wrong with my Windows error reporting system. This...

Hi,

We already have Exchange 2003 server under cluster environment.  We don't have front end exchanger server separately.  Now the requirement is to segregate back and front end server from the existing environment.

Main purpose to configure front end exchange server is to configure RPC over HTTP proxy i. e. Outlook anywhere.

Now, my questions are:

1. What precautions need to be taken while installing/configuring front end server?

2. Do I need to change any settings in existing Exchange 2003 cluster mode server?

3. Do I need to make  changes in our Active Directory services?

If anything else needs to be considered, then please include those points also.

Thanks.

Hi friends,

I used ABBYY PDF Transformer to convert word and Excel documents into PDF. I have no problems converting Word files to PDF. It works perfectly. However i cannot convert full Excel workbooks into PDF.

If the Excel workbook has 1 sheet, it is no problem. It converts it. But if the Excel sheet has more than one sheet, I cannot get it to save all sheets in one PDF document.

Does anyone have experience with this application and can explain to me how I can convert an entire Excel workbook into PDF?

All the sheets should be converted into PDF and...

Hi folks!

I have several computers that have internet access. I would like to have internet access on the computer, but I would like to have browsing disabled.

This needs to be disabled in Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox.

I have entered a fake proxy server in both browsers and that worked perfectly until the users figured it out and were able to remove the fake proxy settings.

How can people access internet in a computer just to receive emails, but disable the browsing so that they won't be able to browse the internet?

The solution should be one, that requests administrators permission to...

Hi techy people,

I have recently noticed that my computer has become very slow and hangs a lot. Most of the times I need to restart it. After restarting, it works ok for a few minutes and then becomes very slow again and hangs as soon as I start opening different applications. 

I checked the task manager and noticed that my CPU usage is 100% and that a SVCHOST process is causing this. What is this process and how can i prevent it from using all of my CPU processing power?

When I stop this process after a while it starts up...

There is a folder on my hard drive that i no longer can access. When i try to access the folder, i receive an error message saying:

Hi,

The error below appears, when I am Using Firefox with SAS Web Report Studio

Error: could not configure modal dialog.

Make sure popup windows are not blocked in your browser. This happens when I shifted to Firefox instead of Internet explorer, I decided to use Firefox because the internet explorer fails to run smoothly it will close in the middle of work, but the error I mentioned above did not appear ever since. I check on my antivirus and firewall all are in correct modes.

What might be the problem of my Firefox browser that fails to run SAS Web Report Studio....

I would like to defrag my hard drive, as soon as possible and would like to know how I can fix this error to get my defragmenter to work.

I looked in Program files, but it did not show...

Hi everyone,

My computer was hanging at a certain point and became unresponsive. 

I could not restart it because it just was not responding to anything that i did. I therefore turned it off by pressing in the power button.

When i placed it back on, i got an error message saying:

I restarted my computer several times, but each time i still get the same error. 

How can i solve this error without having to reinstall my operating system.

I have lots of valuable information, and I cannot lose.

Thanks!

Please see a picture of this error below.

NTLDR missing.  Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart.
