Help on 4695AGN wireless search - nothing until a reset by a LAN cable?

Hi all,
Had sent wrong help message in t-series. OK, short story:
I had get a T61p before and get trouble with wireless LAN search in Vista 32, my 4695AGN card cannot found any network until I plug a LAN cable from my router, after it login successful, the wireless card can see all wireless LAN around me again. I had try update all update by 'system update', restore the complete system, contact Lenovo support and follow their suggestion, uninstall thinkvantage access connection and wireless network card driver, re-install access connection 1st and drive 2nd. but still useless. I can sure not a hardware problems as I can login successful when I still use XP SP2.
Any suggest will be helpful and let me say thanks first.
Steven
PS: My config: 6459CTO with Verizon WAN, 4695AGN, most update by Vantage system update, Vista Ultramate 32, 4G RAM

RV180W firmware 1.0.2.6

http://software.cisco.com/download/release.html?mdfid=284005928&softwareid=282487380&release=1.0.2.6&relind=AVAILABLE&rellifecycle=&reltype=latest

After upgrading to 1.0.2.6 firmware, the Static DHCP ADD, EDIT, etc. buttons disappeared along with all associated functionality. From the "Available LAN" search, it showed that some of the originally entered DHCP clients were still listed as static while the rest reverted to dynamic. However, now there is no way to edit or add new entries.
Buttons disapearing from the UI has nothing to do with configuration settings. It seems to me that this latest 1.0.2.6 version is still BUG ridden.
WHEN CAN WE EXPECT THE NEXT RELEASE TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE?

Slow open a shared worksheet remotely

Problem:
very slow to open a shared worksheet in excel 2010 remotely. locally open is not a problem. I don't know why?

Hi Marseugene,
If this issue is occurred by a *.xlsx file or other files? Did you enable the Share Workbook option for you workbook? And if only you get this issue, or other users also have this problem?
There are articles about excel opens slowly over network, please refer to these links:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2570623
http://blogs.technet.com/b/the_microsoft_excel_support_team_blog/archive/2011/09/29/office-file-validation-causes-slow-opening-of-excel-files-from-network.aspx
It seems that Office File Validation (OFV) causes the issue, you can download and install the Office 2010 File Validation update to help you solve the issue.
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2553065
If the issue still exists, you can refer to these articles above and try the workarounds to help you solve your problem.
Or if your issue was caused in wireless net network, please read this article:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2807742
The workaround about this kind of issue is to delete the custom views that you do not need. Then, clear the Print settings check box under the Include in personal view heading in the Share Workbook dialog box. Or, use Excel Services and Microsoft SharePoint
instead of the Share Workbook option.
And the issue also might be related to Internet Explorer performing a search of network drives and your local area network and any disconnected network drives or LAN search issues will hang the loading of your Excel spreadsheet. Here is how to stop Excel
2010 from browsing your LAN / Network drives when you open an Excel spreadsheet on your local hard drive:
Start Internet Explorer
Go to "Tools" menu
Go to "Internet Options"
Go to "Security" tab
Go to "Local Intranet"
Click on "Sites" button
Uncheck "Automatically detect intranet network"
Please try these methods and let me know if they work, I am glad to help and forward to your reply.

N95 battery life

Hi all
just got my nice shiney new N95 and i love it. Dose every thing it says on the tin (well almost but im sure its user issues).
However there is one issue that is driving me mad, and it s a big problem. The battery life, i can best describe it as **bleep**.
On average it will last about 12 hours with almost no use and at worst it goes flat leaving me high and dry in about 3-4 hours of use.
I have W LAN search off and its mainly on factory settings but in struggling to get more life out of it.
Are there any settings or better batterys that i can use. Its a big enough problem to make me hand the phone back to my phone supplier as its not fit for purpose.
Ta Wavey..
grrrr gagged again

Satellite A110 Upgrade - Xpress 200M problem, lost Toshiba software

I own Toshiba Satellite A110-110. After using this laptop for a two years with pre-installed system, CPU and RAM I have decided to upgrade it. So, I change Celeron M410 for a Core Duo T2450, 60 GB HDD for a 250 GB HDD and 512 MB RAM for a 2 GB RAM and Windows XP HE for a Vista Business.
Installation of all parts and software went fine. Then, I downloaded and installed drivers for Vista. So what is wrong you might ask?
An ATI Xpress 200M, which could get from RAM up to 256 MB for graphic on Windows XP, now, with Vista, this graphic card in control panel displays only 128 MB obtained (shared) memory. What is more, there is no option to change settings and have that old 256 MB. Maybe someone knows the solution?
As the second main problem after upgrading my personal system is total lost of all Toshiba utilities like Connectivity Doctor, Wireless LAN search (transparent oval radar hide on the right side of screen with other options), SRS WOW Sound panel and other which were in based configuration.
Vista doesn't display anything though I put to the system some of it. If anyone can help to solve this problem and has knowledge where I can get that kind of software please give me a tip, and write what kind of idea you are able to share.
Thank you for any help!!!
chinar

Thanks Homer for your answer. I went to link which you have send me. Once again I downloaded all drivers for A110 with Vista from Toshiba Support Website. When I have started installing those drivers, during the process, some of drivers couldn't be installed because of lack of appropriate software. As I stated in first post, I don't have any pre-installed Toshiba software which were included to A110 at the beginning (with XP, manufacturer configuration). Drivers and software offered by Toshiba via its website contain rather updates than basic and full software which can be downloaded and installed on any Toshiba laptop. So, here we go again to the beginning. Moreover, even if some of software were installed succesfully I still can't use Connectivity tool (that oval radar for searching available wireless intenet), I can't see and set SRS Wow sound panel beacuse there is no any set window to do this. Well, maybe they are not compatible with Vista and there is no possibility to see and use them like before (with XP). What do you think about it?

Cannot Search Mac Mini Server

Setup a small office network for our art dept, but have lost the ability to search for files on the Mini server. I have seen a ton of threads about this, but no definite fixes or reason. Please help! It is very difficult to work with a server that you can't use a search function on!
Imac- OSX Lion 10.7.4
Imac- OSX 10.6.8
Mini Server- OSX Server Lion 10.7.5
Thank you

This sounds like a simple port forwarding issue, but I don't understand your LAN setup.
The WRT300N has DDNS service set up. NAT and RIP are disabled.
The chances are, you're running NAT somewhere in your network. If not the WRT then what? If it's your cable modem then you must have port forwarding configured on the cable modem, and that's where you need to focus - change the port forwarding to point to your Mac Mini's address rather than the WRT.
HOWEVER, it is far more common to have the wireless router perform NAT and DHCP, which is why I question your setup.
Not directly related, but:
The Mac Mini DHCP is reserved
Nix this. Your server should be configured manually, with a static IP address, not DHCP, even with a reservation in the DHCP server. The only advantage of DHCP is for dynamic hosts (hence the 'D' in 'DHCP') or if you expect to change your entire local subnet on any kind of frequent basis. The reality is that you can't just change the IP address of Mac OS X Server like this - there are too many dependencies, so it's better to set it manually, knowing that there's a cost (and pain) to change the server's address.

790FX-GD70 LAN Problems

Hello all;
I recently purchased a bunch of components on NCIX, and assembled the computer together, and everything is working extremely well - minus the LAN connections. I've never seen the LEDs light up, and all I'm ever getting in the windows properties is a network cable unplugged message in the adapter settings. I HAVE read the other postings on this board and don't think I have been helped.
I am running Windows 7 (64bit)
790FX-GD70 w/ Phenom II 955 (3.2GHz)
2x4GB Mushkin Stiletto 16000 (1333) DDR3 Ram (Upper end but not overclocked)
2x1GB Asus EAH5450 Silent Video Cards in Software Crossfire (Works great and have had no issues)
ModXStream 700w PS
Antec 900 Case (with all fans so it has adequate cooling)
I also have set up two RAID 0s (may have been overkill) But I have two SataII 250GB hard drives for the OS drive (allows me to upgrade to a SSD in future) and 2 2TB Green Drives for Data, Movies, Music, etc.
ANYWAY, everything was installed and working perfectly, but have got no response from the LAN, so a wireless stick was installed on the front bus.
I've only ever used the drivers from the site, but MAY have originally installed the disc drivers for the MOBO.
I have tried turning off the LAN in BIOS, uninstalling and reinstalling and returning on the LAN (along with doing the above with and without the cable installed) in every order and with every driver I could find. (The one on the site didn't work- so I tried MSI's Liveupdate and it found a different one - tried installing and running THAT one with the above - nothing). I've received no response from the LAN and even less from the MSI help/email system.
I've tried everything I can think of except:
a) I will try the above mentioned in SafeMode
b) I searched for these elusive REALTEK drivers that saved someone else, but I don't appear to be able to access them and viewing just the information I'd need to sign up for
c) I may try stripping all drivers off and retrying with the LAN off (in bios) since it was ON during windows install, but I've uninstalled every lan driver and deleted the device only to reinstall with the (newest MSI) drivers before turning it on SOO many times it makes my head hurt.
OH, also the cable is CAT6 (50ft) and worked screamingly well for the last computer I had hooked up here, so there should be zero issues with firewalls or router/modem configurations (though I've looked)
I've included everything I can think of, any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm trying to move a few TB of data off a main computer to mine, and it's taking a lifetime through the wireless. Thanks for any help/comments you can offer.

---------------------
Alright - Thanks to all readers so far - I've been trying to diagnose this problem for some time and put in a lot of time yesterday to no positive result.
Because I was on a computer all day, I was able to do updates with what I was thinking, and different things as they came up - but they weren't always legible/comprehensible so I will try to explain everything better and condensed for any new readers.
New Computer Parts:
790FX-GD70 w/ Phenom II 955 (3.2GHz)
2x4GB Mushkin Stiletto 16000 (1333) DDR3 Ram (Upper end but not overclocked)
2x1GB Asus EAH5450 Silent Video Cards in Software Crossfire (Works great and have had no issues)
ModXStream 700w PSU
Antec 900 Case (with all fans so it has adequate cooling - Temp always <45C)
Windows 7 (64bit)
Original Installation:
Had no issues, but installed off the supplied CDs, then updated to the MSI mobo drivers.
I had the smaller drives running on Raid Array 1 (boot) so I can in future upgrade to a SSD and the two Larger drives as Raid Array 2 for a nice and large music/games/iso/Video drive
I originally tried screwing with it a bit, some reinstalls, then got fed up thinking the MSI email thing will solve it and started installing games, norton and the like. This lead to comment about additional uninstalls disabling norton, windows and anything I could find - This was not ORIGINALLY an issue, but came to be in later installations (Sorry for the confusion).
This computer originally had dual screens, but has now been upgraded to a Plasma Widescreen (it was my plan to have this as a media/gaming computer)
Through all driver installations, I've found the LAN LEDs light up in Startup, Windows goes to its loading screen, then to a blank screen (juuust before windows finishes loading) and then to windows - On the blank screen the LEDs turn off and stay off for the remainder of the PC being on. This is ALSO the case at the router. Light is on until windows hits and remains off.
Therefore I tried every possible combination of uninstalling the router driver, turning the LAN off in BIOS, installing with and without the LAN plugged in, enabling in BIOS, and then booting windows (with and without the LAN plugged in).
Prior to this build, there was a computer in the same case, on a much, much older board that utilized the cable and everything went extremely smoothly (Win7 64 bit).
Nothing has been OCd, and there are no strange settings that I can see on the BIOS (though I will post my BIOS settings shortly).
Other installation options have been using the installation wizard in and out of safemode, using the "silent install" in and out of safe mode, and once agaion all installation have been done with and without disabling the LAN in the BIOS and reenabling it after.
What shows up is under the Network Adapters is:
"Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller"
"Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller #2"
(This board has 2 Gigabit Ports and yes I've always been trying both)
Both say they're working correctly, installed with the most recent drivers, and despite my error in one post, say 7.41.216.2011 (a 2/16/2011 update-most recent)
It also says (on both) that a cable is just missing, but it has been recently used on a different system and I can see the lights on the PC and router.
In the mobo manual the LEDS can be explained as such:
L-Yellow-Off -LAN not established
-On S.S -LAN link established
-On pulse -Communicating with another computer on the LAN
R-Green-Off -10Mbit/s
-On -100Mbit/s
-Orange-On- -1000Mbit/s
So I am getting a pulsing Yellow and an Orange (on) meaning a thinking Gigabit connection, good. -> Until Windows Loads
Now, during windows installation ( I believe this is typical) it doesn't pick up the BIOS-configured RAID array as a drive until you install the driver (in the windows setup). So I had to do that on every installation, until it picks up the drive, and installation resumes. I do not know if the same conflict exists with Ubuntu, but it sure appears that that is the case as it will not pick up the hard drives. After booting linux, the PC will not re recognize the harddrives until a COLD boot is performed (not recognizing the drives on reset had me a little freaked out for a bit).
Back to linux, I tried my version of 10.10, the admin's version, and an above listed ~8.2 Golden Heron??? Version of Ubuntu. When BOTH the v10s were loaded, it appeared to be loading just fine, with the Ubuntu logo and progress bar/balls, then the black screen, and then it wouldn't come back. The start up sound would activate, but I could not receive any visual. I originally thought this MAY have had something to do with the fact that I'm using a Plasma TV through the HDMI connection, but if the load up screen showed up, I can't understand why it would flake out.
Anyway, to cover all bases, I then tried the v8 cd, and it booted (with a fair share of ugly flickering pre load). No hard drives, but it DID allow me to check out the Connections - and it picked out the same thing, same name, same location, cable missing and couldn't get it to work.
Now at this point a question was asked about my PSU as drives were "falling out" so I supplied specs:
OCZ ModXStream-Pro 700W
I thought that should have been more than ample for this set up, but I will check the Specs...
OCZ700MXSP
10A
Output
+3.3,25A
+5.0,25A
+12V1,25A
+12V2,25A
-12V,0.3A
+5Vsb,2.5A
+3.3V&+5V150W
+12VCombined,552W
Total Output, 700W
So I shouldn't have an issue with 4 drives, 1 DVD, and 2 sticks of ram.
At this point, I was getting tired and frustrated and tried some more Safe mode possibilities and Reinstalls, and in my frustration/orvertiredness I pulled off all ATI drivers that I thought MAY be conflicting (to install LAN FIRST) such as a RAID controller (stupid) and the Crossfire drivers (thought maybe PCI bus was overloaded or in conflict if the LAN is on the same bus? - I was overtired) Anyway, thinking I could get back into windows safe mode was a little optimistic and I had to settle for Windows repair (oh joy) and I COULDNT get the raid drivers to be recognized again - Found out later that the USB drive I was using to move drivers with had some issues with corruption..ANYWAY in the windows repair/select driver window I plugged in a 500G external and did the ol' Ctrl C Ctrl P and copied everything I needed on the raid array and blanked it to reinstall windows.
Now silly sleep deprived me couldnt get the main ATI driver to load (corrupt files and didn't realize at the time) and the ATI mobo driver didn't install, so I used the CD, but then I was just replicating the above test,as I installed the LAN drivers post ATI Mobo drivers (still don't know why I did that). Redownloaded newest drivers onto the external, and went to bed.
Anyway, on to today, reblanked the drive, installed windows WITH LAN OFF in BIOS, installed Windows again, installed LAN and reenabled in BIOS to the same results. Did a repair installation, with it enabled and plugged in, same results.
Post ANY installation, as soon as the LAN is enabled (if it isn't already) a message pops in the bottom right saying Drivers were installed correctly.
If it is installed with LAN off, a message pops up saying "The Realtek Network Controller was not found. If Deep Sleep Mode is enabled Please Plug the Cable."
But once, the LAN is enabled, on Windows boot it once again says it was installed correctly, but doesn't have a cable.
Right now I'm sitting with a computer with a fresh Win 7-64 install and LAN drivers, and I will try installing the mobo drivers and reinstalling the LAN again (if nothing works) but I'm fresh out of ideas. I'll see what I can hammer out in Linux too, but it appears so far that we're getting the same results (connected but no cable).
Anyway thanks for reading my novel, and once again, any help would be appreciated.

Need help installing Intel Lan Driver on a Satellite A100-011

I have bought Toshiba Satellite A100-011 notebook with Windows Vista. Now I downgraded the os to Windows XP. The problem is how to install Intel Lan Driver. I would really appreciate any help, because there is no .exe file and I have no idea, what to do with those files.

Hi buddy,
the files which are in the zip file are really the drivers but you have to install them manually which means you must go to the device manager, search for the LAN device which probably should have a exclamation mark and then right-click on it. After clicking a wizard should appear which leads you trough the installation process. When the wizard asks for drivers (if not already automatically found) then point on the folder where the driver files are located.
Then everything should be fine. :)
Greetings

I used to be able to search a subject and have the "results" show up with a new tab, but now it opens the result in the same tab, how do I fix this?

I have tried repeatedly to get the options section to show how to do this but everything changed with the "new-and-improved(?)" Mozilla!
Could someone please explain to me how to get this to work like it used to (open search results or links in a new tab)??? PLEASE, it is driving me nuts since my slow @ssed computer and AT&T (should be AS&S without the &) internet, makes me remember the bad old days of the 286 computer load times:
Down memory lane...
Power button on ==> go take a Shower, Shave, and the other S ==> Make coffee ==> enable program in command line (pre-windows) ==> fix breakfast and another coffee cup ==> curse at computer because it made you forget to add another switch to your command line...
How many remember those days?!
They say laughter is the best medicine, except I'm not laughing about the new Mozilla anymore :(

Could you clarify where you are doing your search?
''For Firefox's "Search bar",'' which is the box on the right end of the main navigation toolbar with the icon indicating your currently selected search engine, there is a hidden setting for this:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''sear''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''browser.search.openintab''' preference to switch it from false to true.
If you test, does it work?
''For searches from other places,'' could you be more specific about where you are entering your query (e.g., address bar, built-in home page, on a search engine site)?

Oracle 10G Non-Network install - OEM will not start when on the LAN.

Greetings,
Got through a non-networked 10G Enterprise installation OK; I chose to create the orcl schema, connected to it through various utilities, added new tablespace, and all was well. I also checked my Host Name by pinging it in DOS, it showed me the IP address of the MS loopback adapter which is what I was expecting.
Once I connected the same machine to the LAN (and internet) and re-booted, for some reason the Host Name was now assigned the dynamic IP address of the LAN and not LAN2 (which is the loopback adapter that is assigned a static local IP address). It did this even though I had already added an entry in the /etc/hosts file that explicitly assigns a static IP address to the Host Name (as recommended in the Oracle 10G pre-installation instructions). I also could not get the OEM to launch a webpage, run and connect to the orcl database after the re-boot; I am wondering if this is related to the IP address assigned to Host Name changing; maybe the Oracle agent can no longer resolve the URL for some reason?
In the end I find that the only way to insure I can have a working Oracle environment and be on an active network at the same time, is to bring up the Oracle environment on a standalone system first, and once Oracle is running connect the system to the network. Is there no way to automate this process?
The format of the hosts file entry recommended by the Oracle 10G pre-installation instructions is as follows:
===========================================================
IP_address hostname.domainname hostname
where:
IP_address is the non-routable IP address you entered for the loopback adapter.
hostname is the name of the computer.
domainname is the name of the domain.
For example:
10.10.10.10 mycomputer.mydomain.com mycomputer
==========================================================
In my case since I am not part of a Windows domain (but am part of a Windows Workgroup), I added an entry in the /etc/host file that looks like the following:
# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
# For example:
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.110.250 IBM-6AB1330E158
==> Note that I did not add the domain name to the entry I created since I am not part of a domain, I also used the format I found in the etc/hosts file which is:
IP_address hostname.domainname
- not -
IP_address hostname.domainname hostname
Which is the format recommended in the Oracle 10G pre-installation instructions; this does leave me wondering which format is correct...
Thanks in Advance for any help,

I have not. I am hoping someone (maybe even from Oracle support) will step up and officially tell us we are either right or wrong in the way we are approaching this. From the research I have done on the internet it sounds like this should work, you should be able to have Oracle starting and running fine whether you boot connected to the LAN or not, assuming you have created the MS loopback adapter, assigned it a static IP, and changed the hostname entry in etc/hosts file as part of the 10G WinXP recommended pre-installation instructions.
And yet I find I have to start Oracle when I am not connected to the LAN or the services will not start correctly. If this is a "feature" then hopefully someone will tell us and maybe give us a workaround or give us an idea if this will be addressed in a future release. Having said that and in fairness to the Oracle product; being a developer I have other products installed on my machine that have special networking setup needs also, and in my case this could be exasperating or even possibly causing this Oracle problem I am having. To be specific I have software for 2 different VPNs installed so I can tunnel into 2 private networks. One of these VPNs require me to make use of a DNS Suffix (as shown below) which might be contributing to my problems, not sure. I also have VMWare installed which uses it own network adapters when it is running, so you can see how things could get a little hairy... at any rate, there is my 2 cents worth (or is that 5 cents? : )

Start Menu items/shotcuts and Start Menu search ability on multiple workstations

2/13/2014 our IT department began to receive complaints of missing programs. After investigation of a few users we were able to determine that the programs existed but all shortcuts and items from the start menu had been completely removed. In addition the
searching feature of the start menu was not functional. This happened to about 90% of our environment and the catalyst seemed to be Windows updates or at least occurred after the auto reboot initiated by Windows Updates. The only items visible in start
menu were items added after the fact, internet explorer, magnifier, command prompt, and notepad. All other items, folders, and the ability to search installed programs or folders were completely removed. However all programs are present in the program files
folders. THe start menu folder in program data was empty except for the aforementioned items. Additionally properties of start menu had all necessary checks in boxes such as search program files and folders etc. Also show hidden items and folders is enabled
for many users so the items were not hidden but gone. And the biggest kicker of all was after a full domain investigation into the issues we found that the majority of our windows server platforms, primarily 2008, were also affected and system restore is unavailable.
This conflicts with our idea that Windows Updates caused this since our servers get their updates on a manual initiated basis by their admins which we have not performed as of yet for this month. This caused me to begin looking at SCCM SCEP as all systems
have System Center Endpoint Protection and received definition updates. Also accessing different user profiles or even a new profile did not make a difference, issue still present.
Due to the enormous inconvenience we sent out a company wide email asking users to perform system restores to get us in a stable state. A system restore to the day before Windows updates (second Wednesday of every month configured by SCCM SCUP) restored
the start menu items.
On a multitude of machines IT performed troubleshooting and system restores recording the changes removed and added. We then, on a healthy machine, started to apply the windows updates and SCEP (antivirus) definitions 1 by 1 with out success of replicating
the issue. Next we performed a system wide antivirus full scan and did not find any viruses. This is obviously not a system criticle issue bringing us down but is a huge concern for us in IT as it happened company wide and caused a large flux of tickets and
some down time for non-technical users. We most definitely want to know the cause and after several days of investigation and troubleshooting Im turning to the Microsoft community for help.
I know I categorized this as a Windows 7 issue and its affecting windows server 2008, 2003, and 7, but I did not see a forum for all windows platforms. Since the majority of affected users are Windows 7 I opened it here.
So to summarize in a bulleted format:
Issue: Wide spread issue affecting around 60-70 users and servers, all profiles, were all start menu items save one or two system defaults were removed. Additionally the searching feature for the start menu looks to be broken as programs
exist in program files and are unsearchable from start menu. IT was also affected and I remain affected until I find the cause.
Investigation and Troubleshooting:
Start menu properties: nothing has changed and search options are enabled.
Missing items are not hidden, hiding and unhiding does nothing and folder options show hidden files is checked.
Program data start menu location is indeed empty as well as user app data start menu location
No group policy's are in place altering start menu items and no group policy changes were made as of recent
No SCCM packages pushed company wide in last month or pushed individually
Windows Updates occurred on windows 7 machines only before the issue occurred and computers restarted and the issue surfaced
System Center Endpoint Protection Antivirus updates and definitions deployed just before the occurrence with windows updates. SCEP def updates happen on all windows boxes to include servers
Paint.exe was completely missing from system32 folder for some users machines to include my own
System restore to that morning before restarts or previous day fixes the issue for windows 7 users
No windows updates were initiated on any servers
Servers were also affected with windows 7 machines
About half the users affected had corrupt Microsoft Office 2013 Pro Plus Click to Run installations and for some the system restore did not fix this and we had to re-install office for around 10 users
SCEP antivirus did not catch any viruses that could cause this, I performed MBAM scans on a handful of machines and didn't find anything either.
Re-creating start menu shortcuts works
Happened to two of our companies locations NH and MA, all part of the same domain but different LANS of course. Companies are interconnected by MPLS connection.
I combed through SCCM to see if anything deployed and found nothing. Currently I have SCUP updates and SCEP updates disabled. I will post a list of Windows Updates that occurred when the issue occurred as well as the SCEP updates. I have read all the threads
about this types of issues and tried all steps without success. Googling the issue also did not rear results.

Hi,
I would like to suggest you try these steps to figure out what could be causing this problem.
1. Run Troubleshooter
Open the Search and Indexing troubleshooter
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Open-the-Search-and-Indexing-troubleshooter
2. Create a new library and include fewer folders for test purpose. Now search for a file from that folder. See if it works.
Create a new library
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Create-a-new-library
3. Try to rebuild search indexing. Refer the steps from the following article.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Change-advanced-indexing-options
Also you may use the System File Checker tool (SFC.exe) to check the issue. The sfc /scannow command scans all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with correct Microsoft versions.
How to use the System File Checker tool to troubleshoot missing or corrupted system files on Windows Vista or on Windows 7

Hope it helps.

Is there a way of sharing received emails in the LAN? I mean, like the local folders but pointing to shared SAMBA folders.

I work in a small company where every receive email is classified, stored and shared with everyone. This is implemented with M.S. Exchange shared folders. However, I am trying to get rid of the Exchange Server, install Ubuntu in every terminal and just use google as email server. What I did so far is to share some folders with SAMBA and point everyone's Thunderbird "Local Folders" to them, and this seems to be working well, but the problem is that Thunderbird Local Folders weren't meant to be shared. Actually, if someone adds any email to the folders the other people won't see any changes unless they restart Thunderbird. Also, as Thunderbird stores emails in mbox, when someone is seeing any email belonging to some folder, that folder gets blocked and other people are not allowed to see it.
Is there a way in Thunderbird of sharing emails in realtime in the LAN? That would be a very useful tool for teamwork.

Your coming at this from the wrong end.
It is implemented by Exchange. In Outlook.
So you need
It is implemented by XXX. In Thunderbird.
That is you need a server solution to the issue. You could get some if it using IMAP mail accounts but a real solution is probably a far better solution and shared calendars are a real boon I think.
One that I think has some merit is http://www.sogo.nu/ but Zimbra is also worth a look http://www.zimbra.com/products/ I know very little about either product, so do your own due diligence.
Those are certainly not the only exchange replacement packages available as this google search demonstrates http://www.google.com.au/webhp?nord=1#newwindow=1&nord=1&q=exchange+replacement&safe=off

How do you share a global between two programs over a LAN

I want to share a global variable which 2 programs can use but each program resides on different computers on my LAN. I have tried by placing the global in each program in the normal way but if I open the global on each computer they do not correspond.It is as if the 2 programs open a different copy of the same global in their respective memories.Are there settings in labview I have to change?Can anyone give me a tip? I want to share data in this way as opposed to my 2 programs accessing a networked fieldpoint module simultaneously.

Globals are specific per-LV-application. This means if you run two EXEs that you built in LV, even on the same computer, the globals won't be shared.
The easiest option is probably using DS, as suggested by Jack. You right click the control in one PC and select to publish it as a certain address and right click the other control and choose to subscribe to that address and they will be synched.
Another option is using VI server to open a connection to the remote LV app and get the value of the specific control. Search for VI server in the documentation for more information.
Yet another option is implementing your own TCP messaging protocol. You can search the example finder for TCP and this site for TCP message protocol to find some examples.
What I don't understand, however, is why not get the data directly from the FP? There shouldn't be any problem with 2 computers reading the data from the FP.
Try to take over the world!
