When the Microsoft Answers forums first started?

I'm sure someone here will remember!

It is how I get here!   http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us

Hello BDoTJ,

Microsoft answers Forums began in early 2009. I was a moderator when they first started, but I remember not the month. Initially, we had Windows Vista, which has been supported. Windows 7 and Windows XP have been added later.

If you need the exact date, I know that for you.

Thank you

Marilyn

  • Is more able to insert, add or change links HTML when you use Microsoft answers Forums. Any ideas?

    I ask this question in the wrong Forum Vista (I wasn't sure what my question better applied Forum.)

    I am more able to insert, add, or edit HTML links when using the Microsoft answers Forums.

    I've been inactive in the Forums for about two months, so I don't know if the problem comes from the Forums user interface, or if I somehow inadvertantly deleted something necessary for the execution of the HTML edit function.

    Any guidance will be greatly appreciated.  Thank you | krittermattel |

  • Captivate 8 - quiz - keep the button appears when quiz is incorrect; only meant to show when the minimum answers are correct.

    I have a quiz 8 Captivate, I have been struggling with - having several questions, but I'll deal with this one first.  Right now, it's the button continue.  It is supposed to only appear when the answers of the quiz are correct (70% to 'continue').  When the answers below the minimum of 70%, the Retake Quiz button, makes however the continue button.  Is there a solution for this?  BTW, the is my button, a smart shape, I did and use it as a button to continue.

    The standard button to continue on the Quiz results slide appears always right from the beginning of this slide.  You cannot see towards the end of the time, or show/hide with advanced Actions.  One option that you have is hide it under one of the other buttons (for example the quiz recovery button).  Simply place this right on top of the button continue.  Then the learner can not see until they have passed the quiz or exhausted their attempts.

  • Error 2114 after cleaning registry with RegistryMechanic. The Server service is not started when I try to share a file on my local network and register to an older date seems not possible.

    I am using Windows XP Pro with sp3. Before interfering with the registry, everything was fine. Now, I tried inserting AutoShareWks and AutoShareServer DWORD in the LanmanServer\Parameter, but it does not work. When viewing in "Administrative Tools\.\.\Shares", "error 2114" is displayed. What's happening and where the change happened? How can I get my pictures on my mediaplayer again?

    taaiewillem,
    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.  Unfortunately, a lot of registry cleaners may end up doing more harm than good.  I would check with the registry program, to see if it created any type of original backup before you start.  Now when you say that you "reset the registry to an older date" did you do this through the system restore?  If not then I suggest to run a system restore to a date prior to the registry "cleaning".  If that does not resolve the issue, then you do a repair installation.

  • Problems with accounts of different users on the same computer, windows xp start Windows!

    Well, here, I have 3 users on xp, mine works fine, but the other two do not. As soon as I spend my user account to one of the other, all kinds of windows setting screens and new program start. None of the programs that I use my account are available on the other 2 accounts? If I try to open a program or file, windows asks each program installation disc? All files, music and photos in each of 2 other problematic accounts disappeared, not where to find them? I tried windows update, nothing happens. I was wondering if something can be done, as a restoration of the system, but there is no restore in xp home system? right?

    mherrg,
    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.  It sounds as if your user profile may be corrupted.  However, when you install a program from an account you must select the option that the program is for all accounts.  If you haven't already done so, you can run a virus scan before you continue.

    The links below discuss issues of user profile and the system restore feature.

  • Applications of freeze for 2 to 30 seconds when the access server via RDP

    Symptom: a server running a mission critical real-time console applications work fine left unattended.

    When internet connections are stable, and admin connects to the server using the RDP Protocol, yet everything very well.

    However, sometimes the connection to the server degrades and shows of packet losses. In this case, RDP has always managed to connect, but all our applications on the server to freeze for a period of 2 to 30 seconds.

    While gel applications, the windows user interface is still usable (File Explorer, to change the active window, etc.). The updating of the display is slower, but what is expected with a suboptimal internet connection.

    Log files from various applications show that frost occurs at the exact moment in all of our applications.

    This effect occurs often, just at the moment where the connection to the server. This happens sometimes after some time, while the RDP session is in place, but the user does not interact with the keyboard and mouse.

    Repeated tests have shown, that at the time where we experience these connection problems from another machine in the world, who have own internet connection to the server, a gel occur.

    Because these freezes cause our entire production system one malfunction, this makes the administration remotely via RDP essentially impossible.

    The server is Windows 2008R2 SP1.

    Applications that freeze do NOT networking outside the local computer. Most of the applications are simple console applications.

    I have google some references to this or similar problems, however none of the effective resolutions.
