ChkDsk Runs On Every StartUp

  If your chkdsk runs on every boot, here are some things you can try. First of all, let it run once completely. Then try this : Run regedit Edit: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ CurrentControlSet\ Control\ Session Manager Change the BootExecute entry from: autocheck autochk * /. To: autocheck autochk * Or else try this : Start> Run> bring up a command prompt by typing in “CMD” and type ” fsutil dirty query g: “. This queries the drive, and more than likely it will tell you that it is dirty. Next, type “CHKNTFS /X G:”. The X tells Windows to NOT check that particular drive (G) on the next reboot. At this time, manually reboot your computer, it should not do a Chkdsk and take you directly to Windows.   Once Windows has fully loaded, bring up another CMD prompt and type and now you want to do a Chkdsk manually by typing “Chkdsk /f /r g:”. This should take you through 5 stages of the scan and will unset that dirty bit. Finally, type “fsutil dirty qu...

Removing Terminal Server licenses from an RDP client

    Article ID: 187614 Last Review: October 11, 2007 Revision: 6.4 This article was previously published under Q187614 SUMMARY If an unlicensed client connects to a Terminal Server for the first time, the Terminal Server issues the client a temporary Terminal Server Client Access License (CAL) token. After the user has logged into the session, the Terminal Server instructs the License Server to mark the issued temporary Terminal Server CAL token as being validated. The next time the client connects, an attempt is made to upgrade the validated temporary Terminal Server CAL token to a full Terminal Server CAL token. If no license tokens are available, the temporary Terminal Server CAL token will continue to function for 90 days. The license is stored in the client's registry. Thirty-two bit RDP clients store their license under the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\MSLicensing. Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how ...

Navision 4.0 on Vista

MBS Navision with MS SQL Option and Vista™ Because I am testing Microsoft Vista™ RC1 and I was curious to see Navision on Vista™, I tried to install it. Installation is not a problem. Native client is working without problems too. But biggest problem is a so small part of Navision as MDAC version detection is. This is biggest problem when you want connect Navision to some MS SQL server. You will got error about wrong MDAC version. Source of problem is the unified versioning of all DLL which are part of the Vista™. Navision is detecting MDAC version through File version of SQL ODBC driver – sqlsrv32.dll. On Windows XP you can see version like 2000.85.1117.0 etc. But under Vista™, the file has version 6.0.5600.16384 and this is "less" than requested version. Changing MDAC detection in Navision is no way. But after some "hacking" you can succeed. There is the workaround: Prepare the modified DLL: 1. You need some resource editor tool, for example the Resource Hacker ap...

Vista performance

  Windows Vista loads lots of services into memory upon booting, and it is possible some of these services are not needed. These services and features, when removed or kept from loading, will improve system performance, as fewer Windows Vista service drivers are loaded. 1. Windows PC tablet components can be removed if the computer is not tablet based. These components are removed via Turn Windows Features on or off, which is accessible in the Programs and Featurescontrol panel applet. 2. The Indexing Service can be removed here as well. Indexing Service is that Windows Vista feature that constantly monitors file activity on the hard drive so that when file searches will occur muchfaster. The drawback is that when first utilized the Indexing service takes quite a while to catalog all the files on the drive. There is constant file monitoring after initial cataloging. 3. The Indexing Service can also be adjusted for better performance. Instead of the entire drive being s...

Stampanti USB/Rete in sessione RDP

Article ID: 302361 Last Review : December 3, 2007 Printers That Use Ports That Do Not Begin With COM, LPT, or USB Are Not Redirected in a Remote Desktop or Terminal Services Session . This article was previously published under Q302361. SYMPTOMS When you use Remote Desktop Connection or the Terminal Services Client version 4.0 or 5.0 to connect to another Windows-based computer from a computer that is not running Windows Server 2003, your local printers may not be redirected. As a result, your local printers are not available in the remote desktop or terminal services session. For example, if your Windows XP-based computer has a multifunction print device using a DOT4 port, it may not be redirected in a remote desktop session to a Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003-based computer. CAUSE This problem occurs because the printer port does not begin with COM, LPT, or USB. By default, printer port names that do not begin with COM, LPT, or USB are only redirected in W...
