it was not installed, it's portable. tried the "set up associations" in Preferences and restart. that didn't work.

I was using VLC (portable) to watch video files. just double click on the file, and it opens with VLC because it's associated with VLC. no problem. but then I moved the VLC folder to a different location on C:\. problem. the .mp4 files are no longer associated with VLC. when I right click and...

a long time ago I created some security settings using MMC and the IP Security Policies snap-in to block google, microsoft, twitter and facebook from any connections to or from the computer. now I want to remove those security policies. I had saved the console as ipsec.msc, and the obvious...

piss off, both of you! and your stupid buddies who have the reading comprehension of a 3 year old. I don't care. nope, I don't. you are below my standards. ban me, I don't care. not joking when I say that if I have to stoop to your level to continue using the forum, I won't use it. there are...

let's quote the whole thing, shall we? according to the description, the T-mobile 4G LTE Cellspot is a "mini LTE tower" that provides 3000 square feet of coverage for cell phones. you plug it into your broadband connection (cable, dsl, etc) and people can then use their cell phones as the...

I am not talking about a battery powered hotspot using a wall adapter.

I use a mobile hotspot to connect to the internet. like all mobile hotspots, it runs on a battery and you recharge it with a USB cable. I want one that plugs into the wall (AC powered) so I don't have to always be recharging it, watching how much battery there is left, and waking it up...

that would explain a lot. no I haven't run the manufacturer's diagnostics. I am running the drive's self-test in HDAT2 and it seems to be hanging at 60%. I think I'm just going to trash it.

the hard drive has been zeroed. there is no data on the hard drive, not even a blank partition.

I have a hard drive (IDE) that s.m.a.r.t. says health is critical, too many relocated sectors, and BIOS says the same thing and press F1 to continue booting up. I zeroed the hard drive and that didn't do anything. then I ran SpinRite level 5 (detect and repair) and it found no errors at...

windows firewall is turned off on both computers.

XP Pro. the user rights should be good because RD does work like it should. as long as any user has logged into the host first. I will check the Local Policies example, I don't have time right now. also will check Services, maybe a required service doesn't start unless someone logs in?

you are doing what I'm trying to do. could you post a copy of Local Policies/ User Rights Assignment and Security Options? right click, export list...

thank you for the suggestion about tightvnc, but I would rather use the built-in Windows features to keep it simple. I don't know of any steps I skipped. Remote Desktop connects and functions like it should as long as a user has logged into the host computer first. there are no BIOS...
