During the install of AVG it gives a conflicting anti-spyware product detected error message and will not install. The message then goes on to say: “Setup had detected ewido anti-spyware or ewido anti-malware installed on your computer. Anti-spyware protection is now included in AVG. In order to proceed with installation, you will have to uninstall the previous anti-spyware product first”
I checked add/remove programs and I did not see any reference in there to ewido anti-virus / anti-malware, but I did find a key for it in the registry. Once I deleted the the “HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\ewido anti-spyware” registry entry I was able to install AVG with out any further problems.
Anyone else have the bug when you try to open a new tab using ctrl-t in Firefox that it sometimes won’t open a new tab? I seem to have the this issue and have figured out that only happens on pages where there is an Adobe Flash movie. I am running Firefox 3.07, Flash Player version 10,0,22,87 (find out what version here), and AdBlock Plus 1.0.1.
I have this issue on both my PC and Macintosh computers for a few months.
I had a server I was trying to sort through errors with and was having a hard time sorting through the Event Viewer because of the constant errors we were getting issued by DCOM. I tracked down the problem in the registry and found that it was associated with the HP Port Monitoring DCOM module.
Event Type: Error
Event Source: DCOM
Event Category: None
Event ID: 10015
Date: 3/9/2009
Time: 3:38:12 PM
User: DOMAIN\Username
Computer: Server
Description:
The machine wide limit settings do not grant Remote Launch permission for the COM Server application with CLSID
{5A5AA0AA-1DEB-4683-96B0-B43301E83971}
to the user DOMAIN\Username SID (S-1-5-21-297925193-1886344193-3212067294-1225). This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool.
To resolve the issue I located the computer that the user referenced in the error message was using and did the following:
Clicked on Start, went to run, and typed in dcomcnfg.exe
Browse the tree and went to Component Services -> Computers -> My Computer ->DCOM Config
Right clicked on “HP Port Resolver” to bring up properties
Selected the “Location” tab
Checked the box for “Run application on the computer where the data is located”and left all other boxes blank.
Every once in a while working for a consulting company, you happen across a little goody that you just know other people in the profession would appreciate. Here’s my glorious find from the other day.
I had a client yesterday that was getting the following message back from their Exchange server when they tried to send email to anyone outside of their network. They could get receive email and send email internally.
You do not have permission to send to this recipient. For assistance, contact your system administrator. <server.domain.local #5.7.1 smtp;554 5.7.1 <rob@domain.com>: Relay access denied>
I was able to fix this problem pretty quickly by restarting the SMTP service under services in computer management.
They did have to resend any messages that had been rejected.
We have had continual problems with HP Laserjet scan to PC functions. The latest was on a HP Lasejet 2840 color all in one printer. I found one article on the HP website that helped me resolve the issue.
When removing the Antivirus 2008 virus from an infected PC, you may come across the issue where you no longer get a windows desktop. Thus, there is no windows taskbar/start menu. The problem is that, the virus has damaged the registry, keeping it from running the explorer.exe process correctly. This fix will enable windows to load explorer.exe and display the windows desktop.
To fix this issue, first you will need to press CTRL+ALT+DELETE to open the task manager. Click the Task Manager button. Next, under the FILE menu click on New Task (Run…). In the space next to Open:, type in REGEDIT and hit OK. Once inside the registry, find the keys bellow as needed.
The key that needs to be deleted to re-enable the windows desktop taskbar/start menu is:
