P2V a Windows 98 box
I need to virtualize a very old box still under Windows 98.
I assume that by using VMware Converter for these old OS is not supported.
However, can someone suggest any possible strategy, including using older versions of VMware Converter (by the way, are VMware Converter 3 and 4 available anywhare?) or third-party tools?
Concerning
Marius
Hello Marius.
You must use ghost or Acronis and restore the image of a newly created virtual machine
same procedure that you would use to clone the disks in a real metal scneario
create the new virtual machine with IDE drives - it start your ghost or Acronis CD and restore the image from a network share
at first starting the virtual machine, cross your fingers and have the original installation CD ready at hand
There are no tools out there that will automate this
Thank you.

Hello everyone,
I am currently working on a LabVIEW application that communicates with a PLC using a Modbus Protocol (with an ethernet cable). The PLC is the master and the PC is the slave.
The code is based on the Modbus of LabVIEW examples: "MB Ethernet example Master.vi, MB Ethernet example Slave.vi and MB Ethernet slave Demon.vi. It is not the first time I use it.
But I recently discovered a problem. In my application, I have a pop-up with a button that opens a windows dialog box to select a result file.
When the windows dialog box opens, the "MB Ethernet Slave Demon.vi" crashes (I put a meter inside to see what happened and it stops at the moment opens the dialog box), then when I close the dialog box, the counter continues to count, the connection ID is empty, and the number of the demon slave VI connection resets to 0. When communication is re-established between the PC and PLC (like 10 seconds after the closure of the dialog box), the number of connection go to 1 and table of login ID is no longer empty.
Otherwise, the communication works very well. But not when the dialog box opens and is a significant problem for me because the user must be able to open results file during production that needs the Modbus communication at work because it's the controller who gives orders the computer to run the production cycle.
Thanks in advance for your help.
If you think that the problem is inside the library NI Modbus (old), why don't you use the most recent which is available on the network of tools? Link is here: https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-30140
Looking into some of the screws in the library, she uses methods of Server VI as "Run a VI" that will perform the loop of the root, as it crashes while the file dialog is open. I suspect that the new version of the library is not the problem.

Windows security box keeps poping up when clicking on send and receive on my windows mail.
Hello, Im having a problem with windows mail, I can't send an email of reception in my windows mail whenever I open it one click send receive n security windows login box appears to want to me to enter my user name an password.
Can anyone help? Thank you
First check that your ISP has no problems with his server. See if you can connect via webmail, if you have this ability. Otherwise, go to tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties together correctly and the credentials it. There is a problem when you get prompt that is not save information, so set correctly before you check mail. If there are still questions, then find the interference antivirus (see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3) and compact and repair the database where it is a problem (www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/).

Windows 7 box impossible to see or to print to the 8600plus via WIFI
Hi all
Two days to work on this issue and I am puzzled. Here's what I past Windows 7 box connected via cat5 to switch 8600 more connected via wifi. All other contracting parties times hard wired or WIFI print. Win 7 box can see all PC and network devices on the net at home (and view the shared files) just not the 8600 (also box can not ping to the address given for the 8600 dhcp). I checked Norton does not block the printer scanner and also tried hard not defining the ip addy of the printer in the wizard go. What I'm going to try tonight is to hard wire the printer from the box and see if things are getting better but it is a shared printer and must reside in a central location. ALL the thoughts in this matter would be greatly appreciated, I'm at my end of strings with something that should be and easy plug and play.
Thank you
Terry
Fixed the problem of restarting the bitch switch. Everything works very well sorry for any loss of time.

Cluster of P2V existing Windows 2003 two nodes exchange 2007
Hello
I want to know how I can create a cluster of the P2v of my production windows node cluster on a host two unique esx4i. It is only for purposes of laboratory and test. The reason why I've done a P2v is I want to imitate my production environment, and as production data.
I've done a p2v of my node Exchange 2007 cluster two production Windows 2003 64-bit. How can I reconfigure disks (quorum, data) for the cluster?
I've seen a lot of e of documents telling me to remove the discs and re create, but I want to keep the data.
I would like to know if someone has done with success the P2v cluster.
Please notify.
I understand you want to keep the data - this guide will give you necessary for nodes in vm configurations and storage relavent - if you want to keep the two nodes in the cluster on separate from ESX boxes, then you will need to maintain a quorum and the shared data on the physical SAN LUNS and allows to connect to storage RDM - if they all exist on the same ESX Server I shute evrything down - P@V primary node with the disk data and shared quorum, then P2V system disk of secondary nodes - in both cases follow the configurations described in the guides and you should be good to go-

How to disable windows install box pop-up?
I tried to update my old professional windows of office 2003 with a new program of release for consumption of office 2010 windows for teachers. For some reason, I kept getting the message that couldn't be improved until I deleted the old windows desktop programs. I tried to do, but some of them would not uninstall then I got frustrated and gave up. I used system restore to go back to the way my system has been configured before I tried to remove the office 2003 programs. Now regardless of the program or an application I try to use windows pop up box appears and intereferes with start of program and demand. I do not have to install anything. After the system restore, I checked and everything I had previously uninstalled seems to be back now. Whis is happening? Does anyone know how to prevent installation pop box appearing whenever I try to use a program? I would really appreciate anybodys help on this one. Thank you all.
Hello Airforce1974,
You probably see the effects of a partial uninstall of office 2003. I did some checking and found that you can download and install the "office 2003 edition resource kit" (ork.exe) from the link below. "" It contains the "Remove Office Assistant"
Note: I suggest that you first try to locate the office Removal Wizard to see if it is already installed (not deleted)
http://Office.Microsoft.com/en-us/Office-2003-Resource-Kit/Office-Removal-Wizard-HA001140177.aspx
To find the tool, click the Start button, point to programs, point to MiMicrosoft Office, point to Microsoft Office Tools, point to Microsoft Office Resource Kitand then click Removal Assistant.
ORK. EXE

suggestion of the cancellation by programming the windows dialog boxes
For some reason, while a utility that downloads the firmware in a device should be stopped. When using Taskkill mode forced to the command prompt (suggested here in this forum in another thread), the app closed, but the device does not respond properly (it is the poster of device firmware download is still in progress). To avoid this problem when you use taskkill in normal mode (no forced mode), utility like popups display messages "are you sure you want to download the process? Press Yes or no. ». Then when you press Yes it still displays a message to the user, "the firmware download process abandoned by the user.". The utility that downloads the firmware can be redesigned to avoid these pop-up windows, but it is a bit tedious process and is not possible at this time. Taskkill in forced mode also left aside.
To do some automation, only option is to use taskkill in normal mode and must avoid the dialog boxes for "popup".
Thanks in advance for any suggestions,
Mathan
