Windows 7 - Excel 2010 - unable to connect to the OLAP Cubes SQL 2000
Running 32-bit Windows 7 - Excel 2010 - unable to connect to SQL 2000 of the GreatPlains OLAP Cubes - message Getting connection refused actively.
It works with XP and even load Excel 2010. I can't find what I need to change in win 7. I guess that's the firewall or driver settings. I completely disabled the firewall and still no luck. I also took the file to connect to the XP machine and tried to use it as an existing connection and still have the error. I ran Excel on the Win 7 XP SP2, XP SP3 and still no luck. I have spent hours reading and researching the issue and can not find an answer.I tried to change the OLAP service account and open all ports on the server. Still nothing. The error message will connect to the client computer and the server does not record demand, so I think that I don't yet get on the server. I do not understand as well as if the message is actively refusing connection.I can run the cubes very well on the server and on the XP SP3 with Excel 2010 machine.I'm in my troubleshooting garnis. There has been some problems, that I have not been able to solve in Microsoft Servers and this is one. I know that there is an answer. I'm just not see it.Thank you!!Hi Litiasheldon,

Windows Vista - How will I know if I have SP2 or not all ready installed on my computer?
I don't know if I have Vista Service Pack 2 all ready installed. Is there a way to know?
Hi Bobboberson,
Click on the Start button and then click Control Panel. In Control Panel, click the system icon. The "Show the basic information about your computer" window. At the top of this window, you'll see a section marked "Windows Edition" you should see the words "Windows Vista (your editing, i.e. Home Premium etc) Copyright (c) 2007 Microsoft Corporation." All rights reserved. Service Pack 2'. If you don't see that you are not running service pack 2.

In windows Vista (Home Premium) Remote Desktop connection does not work correctly
I installed and re-installed my Vista (Home premium) 2 times already because of the remote desktop connection. I have a problem connecting from another laptop running windows 7 to connect to my desktop running Vista. The remote control works on the other hand the meaning of desktop running vista, laptop running windows 7 Professional.
Looking at the Vista under \System\Remote setting\Remote tab which shows the remote assistance box, but the Office box where you can choose what type of connection can be established remotely is missing.I went though all as responses to forum, but nothing helped. Even in a "sfc/scannow" command prompt running did not help. It is said that he finds corrupted files, but it cannot solve all corrupted files. That's why I reinstalled windows hoping to fix this problem but WITHOUT SUCCESS.
Can anyone help? I've attached a screenshot of what I see in vista.
You can connect FROM an original version of Windows to another computer, but you cannot connect to an original version of Windows.
It is not an 'idea' it's hard cold fact that is at least 12 years old.

(b) Control Panel
(c) network and sharing Center
(d) managing network connections.
(e) click every link that is EXCEPT the wireless LAN connection, and then click on disable this network device.

(g) you should probably run the diagnostic and repair utility on the Network and Sharing Center menu to force the wireless card to request information from the router IP.
Method 2:
If all else fails, go back into the network and sharing Center, manage network connections and right click on the wireless network connection and select Properties.
Then click Internet version 4 Protocol and select Properties.
Click in the box that says "Use following IP address" and enter the information that has been shown in IPCONFIG report for your connection to the Wired Local network above.

Windows Vista Volume control - several users connected
Vista Home Premium. Several users. IE8 on a site playing music.
fast user switching. The music heard in the new session of the user. Mixer volume control unable to see the other application users to turn off the music.
How can I make Blender see other sound control applications usersHello gmayes,
In addition to what Anthony has provided above the quick change of user in Windows Vista is designed to run programs that are specific to each user profile. This means that when you play the music in a single profile and use the fast user switching will continue to play music and the secondary profile will not have access to control the Web pages or the volume of the music played on the primary profile.
Using programs of another quick switch mode user profile is not something that is supported by Vista right now.

WIndows Vista not finding free Wifi connections
I am running Windows Vista on an Inspiron 1420. I used to connect to open wifi connections and now windows won't recognize that my connection at home I put in place manually. I can see the other connections wifi with my computer, but windows will not recognize them. This function is used to work and now it won't. Any help would be great?
KristinTX,
I've been on the Forum and it seems that there are many people who have problems with the WiFi Catcher on an Inspiron 1420. You can see their support Forum.
http://en.community.Dell.com/forums/default.aspx?GroupID=9However, there are a few things you can check.
(1) did you use Dell QuickSet to enable and configure the switch to control WiFi network connections?This seems to be one of the conditions for their WiFiCatcher to work.
(2) have you used the BIOS (System Setup program) to control WiFi network connections?
(3) you have the BIOS update for your Inspiron 1420 system? The latest version is A10 with a date of 01/07/2009.
(4) I recommend that you check all the driver updates especially for networking to see if this will help your question.
http://support.Dell.com/support/downloads/DriversList.aspx?c=US&l=en&s=GEN&ServiceTag=&SystemID=INS_PNT_PM_1420&OS=WLH&OSL=en&CATID=&impid=I do not know if these suggestions will help, but it's something you can try.

Windows Vista Ultimate Media Center cannot connect to Xbox 360
Hi, I can not connect my PC Ultimate Windows Vista for my Xbox 360 as an Extender. My configuration is:
Xbox connected to the router, PC connected to the router
Xbox connects to Live (e.g. internet) very well
PC connects to the internetHere is a list of the things I've tried so far:
Tried to connect Xbox normally (using the digit 8, many times)
Computer restarted/Xbox
Reset the router
Installed all Windows updates
Turned off the Windows Firewall
Turned on Windows Firewall, with exceptions for Media Center Extenders
Opens the ports on my router
UPnP enabled on the router
Unchecked "filter multicast" on router
Updated drivers for the network adapter on PC
Checked the event viewer for a conflict event program:
Source: Media Center Remote Manager
Event ID: 8
Description: Unauthorized window was detected while running the Media Center experience, Program_name window, under the name of file Program_name.exe
I tried to delete the certificate (it did not exist) for Media Center according to the http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/932163. I could not uninstall the Extender (part II) well because it is not installed.I am pretty sure that the problem is with the Xbox or PC (and not on the network), since up to last month, I've had a laptop XP Media Center using the Xbox as an Extender very well, using settings and identical network hardware. In this context, I unplugged the connection of the laptop Media Center Xbox, and I erased the extender connection data according to the http://support.microsoft.com/kb/932208/en-us. (This does not work either.)
Notice that I can see the Xbox when you view the network on my PC devices.
I've been at this for hours! Thanks in advance for any help.

What anti-malware-virus\firewall\anit programs you have installed? You can try adding it after a clean boot to try to exclude another program interfering.
You can also run System File Checker to help eliminate a possible corrupted system file. Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

Windows Vista continues to try to connect to the VirtualProfile in network connections.
I was helping my brother set up its new Netgear Wireless USB adapter in Windows Vista and kept running into the same problem. Once the adapter has been installed, Vista would continue to try to connect to a VirtualProfile under network connections which would interfere with the connection of the profile. I had my brother take the VirtualProfile and then it connected correctly. However, after each reboot, the connection of VirtualProfile appears every time and we need to start over the process. A way to remove this VirtualProfile permanently and why what is happening? Thanks for any input.
original title: Wireless Virtual Network profileHello Flash4,
Thank you for choosing Microsoft answers forum for Windows Vista.
I suggest you go to your network card making and download / install the latest drivers.
Also I suggest that you check your system for corrupted files. You use the tool (SFC.exe) System File Checker to check and repair corrupt system files. To do this, follow these steps:
1. open an elevated command prompt.
2. to do this, click Start, click programs, accessories principally made, right-click Guest, and then click Run as administrator.
If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on allow.
3. type the following command and press ENTER:sfc/scannow
The sfc/scannow command. analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.
Hope this information is useful.
Thank you.
