    Windows 7 How to gain access to Users\username\Local Settings folder

    I'm having a problem with Outlook 2007 and need to access the folder: "Users\(username)\Local Settings". This was formerly in Documents and Settings. Whenever I try to access the folder, even when running as administrator I get the message "Access Denied". How does one get around this? Is it a...

    Windows 7 Printing from Window Server 2003 to Win-7 Pro

    Yes I did find the solution and it was a bit odd. The issue is being able to print documents that are on the server, in this case reports and invoices from QuickBooks, through a printer connected to a workstation. The same fix works for a Dell laptop which also is also running Win-7 although the...

    Windows 7 Printing from Window Server 2003 to Win-7 Pro

    Thank you, again, for you interest. It's very much appreciated! The printer is a Hewlett Packard LaserJet 2300dn that is connected to the home network router. Win-7 has a native driver for this printer that works very well. The server is a Dell PowerEdge 8 running Windows Server 2003, Small...

    Windows 7 Printing from Window Server 2003 to Win-7 Pro

    Thank you for your reply, Kevin. Yes, in the RDP Local Options I do have Printers checked. I checked 'advanced' and the only real choice of significance there is RD Gateway server settings which are set to 'auto'. Before the final version of Win-7, the drivers on the 2003 server would show...

    Windows 7 Printing from Window Server 2003 to Win-7 Pro

    I have a home based business. My primary PC is now running Win-7 64bit Pro very smoothly, except for the issue described below. We have a home network and all is well. There is also a server running Windows Small Business Server 2003 that is on a separate network. My PC is connected to both the...

    Windows 7 Netgear WG311v3

    Netgear WG311 I thought I'd just throw my 2 cents in here on the Netgear WG311. I installed W-7 Pro 64bit on my home office PC and it's great. Also, it works very well on my Dell D820 laptop. However, I put it on my wife's PC which uses a Netgear WN311v2. The only way I could get it to work was...

    Windows 7 Monitor will Sleep, Computer Won't

    I confess that I haven't read all of the messages on this thread, however, I have found that the most common cause of the issue described above is not clearing the check in the Mouse > Hardware > Properies > Power Management section that "Allow this device to wake the computer". An optical mouse...

    Windows 7 Problem Mapping Drive on W-7 PC

    OK, I feel like a bit of an idiot!! I'm posting this and eating CROW at the same time! It turns out that I had File & Print Sharing turned off on the laptop! I looked everywhere but there! Sorry to take up space! --Bob

    Windows 7 Problem Mapping Drive on W-7 PC

    Great forum everyone! Many of the responses have helped me a lot. This situation is a bit different so I decided I needed to post this question. There are 3 active PCs in this house. My wife's PC still has Win-XP on it. My workstation has Win-7 v7100 RC 64 bit and it runs very well indeed. My...

    Windows 7 Anti-Virus Programs in Win 7

    I'm doing a beta test for Trendmicro IS 2010 which will formally be compatible with W-7. It too is flagged by W-7 as being off. Hopefully this will be worked out in the final editions. I deal with this by turning off the warning for this flag. As you say, TIS works fine with my 64 bit W-7. --Bob

    Windows 7 Using Windows 7 VPN to connect to Cisco PIX

    On finding that Windows 7 has a built in VPN client, I've been trying to get it to connect to our Cisco PIX. However, so far no luck. Our Cisco VPN client will not operate on Vista or Windows 7. The tunnelling protocol is IPSec/UDP. I am not a networking expert by a long shot. I just thought...

    Windows 7 Indexing NAS Drive for Libraries

    Just wondering if I'm doing something wrong or is this an area for improvement in the final version. I really like the idea of Libraries. I have a LOT of photos and music on a NAS drive. Apparently, the only way to index the NAS drive is to make it available offline which, by definition...
