If you dont want to use a 3rd party software like logmein or TeamViewer, the only way to do this would be to use RDP over VPN. You would need to setup a VPN on your home network that you can dial into from your client computer and then RDP to your host. One other option is to port forward TCP...

I have a 7990, it can definitely handle 4 monitors on 8.1. I also used to have a 47" westinghouse TV and it came up as the actual name of the TV. Yours is clearly not seeing it properly as it is showing up with generic non pnp monitor. I think that is your problem moreso than the resolution...

In looking further, it looks like the driver designed to resolve that problem is the one you are running, however it is not the one that's crashing. You say that you are connecting your modem, is this a USB WiMax card? Who is the manufacturer? Is it actually MediaTek branded? If this is the...

I believe the information you received on the previous forum was accurate. This is definitely a software issue and you need to try to update your drivers. There is a driver on the HP website that specifically relates to the problem you are having. Download the drivers from another computer and...

Around 40% of all machines I build on 8.1 have this problem. The problem is that this is a domain environment and the user has never logged on before. In general this is what happens: I log on to the machine after SCCM completes my OSD as a local administrator. The local administrator...

The tool I linked to a above is basically just a "bootable" implementation of chntpw and its only a couple meg.

If you mean System DSN, it only has my own data source for an enterprise database that I connect to. No other system DSN.

So, I installed this on my 64 bit machine and I didnt run into any trouble. I don't really know anything about the program but it launches and it creates its own little mdb database and it's reading from it. I checked my 32 bit ODBC administration and there is not a specific database installed...

I have an idea but I will need to get to work on my 64 bit machine. I'll try it later and report back. There are a couple of threads about using old jet drivers and forcing them in the registry. I'll let you know in about 8 hours.

You have just saved me literally a weeks worth of work. I had seen that in group policy but it was set to not defined so i bypassed it. Giving it another look, i searched for its referencing registry key and found the value to be 3. If gpedit was showing it to be "not defined" the key shouldn't...

Ah, I was not aware you were on a 64 bit system. My current environment is 32 bit which may be why mine worked and yours didn't. You can set 32 bit odbc connections in x64 you just need to launch the 32 bit odbc environment. It may be that the program itself is designed to just look for a...

Sadly, I have seen this exact page in my research this afternoon. In both Computer and User local policies I have this set as not configured. Just for grins I set it to disabled and enabled with no luck.

Do you have any idea what the silent setup is doing or why it is in the user's logon script? There is not really a good way to allow an application to run elevated outside of programs like avecto or powerbroker (not cheap) or runasspc (not recommended in a domain environment) or disabling UAC...

The "non administrator" message you are getting is very annoying but it will still let you add a system DSN. It is a known issue but nothing something you should be worried about in this instance. That being said, I just installed the application in question and was able to without issue. It...

If you have a windows CD (or an ISO) try doing an offline DISM install. Launch an elevated command prompt by search for cmd. Right click the command prompt search result and click run as administrator. Put in your windows DVD (or mount your ISO) and type the following exactly Dism.exe...
