While running through some user accounts in our ADS setup I noticed that one of them is set to "Store password using reversible encryption." This is no good and does not meet the company's security...

This setting can also be changed in the BIOS on some Dell systems

I'm not sure what would be causing the problem, but it would be interesting to see what other protcols this intercepts. POP/SMTP seem to be fine. Can you have these people try accessing an https://...

Try to be more specific with the error message. It sounds like the cd is scratched. Does it work ok in a different computer? Can you use a different cd on this computer?

Do you get any error messages when you try to load it? What version of windows? Any recent changes to your system? Please try to be more specific when you post. :)

You need to remove the program from "Add/Remove Program Files" in control panel, not just by deleting the folder. If you for some reason must remove the folder manually, make sure to remove...

Can you install a different OS, or use a different XP cd? I don't know which one the tecra 8100 is, but did it come with XP originally?

How much RAM and how much swap are you talking about here?

I agree! I was unaware of the hidden restore partition. I wonder how long sony has been doing that for? But it is rather ridiculous how they split like that! I had a client who owned a VAIO with 5gb...

If you have the Windows XP cd that came with the computer, or one that you bought on your own, then you can boot off of that and run the System Recovery tool and it can reinstall the Windows...

Well, as far as the partitioning scheme goes, Sony has AFAIK always shipped there computers with a C: and D: drive, so that in the event the OS neeeds to be reinstalled (as with yours) One could do...

Which process are you considering to be "pesky?" I would just disable those process for now, and see how your machine runs. If it is still running slow/unstable, then consider turning off more....

I use this on Windows, and it is the perfect little tool. Nothing beats `uptime` though. ;-)
