You could force a Run As with a different user profile and set the printer as needed in that profile.

Re: [H] MS dot-NET-COMPLETE!
There is a dot net remover I had to use to clean up a XP laptop, then start with 2.0 and install everything from there, it will make sure that from that point nothing bombs. Google it, I believe it is at MS downloads.

All, I am confused with what MS is doing with dot-net versions. I asked before, and installed it on my clients whether needed or not. Yes, I believe 1 or 2 of my clients need it due to their app-stacks. The collective was correct. A mostly painless addition. My new build client would not move dot-net forward from the initial [optional] v1.1 install. The client would fail and/or crash trying to install the v1.1 sp1 patch also. Odd. But, I suspect that MS wished me to be somewhere else. Humorous how this works when I allow WGA and WinUpdates ! Most confusing to me during this fal-der-al, this XP client was never granted visibility / access to the V2 compendium I have seen on my other XP clients. Odd. Problem is now solved. I deleted the original v1.1 install of dot-net on the client. This client freely accepted ONLY the V4 dot-net [optional] install KB. Every earlier version of dot-net offered failed. Ho-hum? Again, I suspect/accept MS direction. No matter any longer. The new rebuilt client is built, fully patched and using V4 dot-net. Now I can complete burn-in and future integration. Thank you all who shared suggestions, opinions, links, other. This dot-net thread is now dead. I will think about V4 updates to remaining clients. Later. Much later!! LOL!

I'll figure something out. I understand. Yes, I started using a program that needed dot-net 2 years ago. Probably still use, but can not recall which ATM. Could be Mozilla TBird, Intuit, Nolo, Bond Wizard, or, some subtle change my online banking software implemented in a major update years back. Sorry. Stuff happens. LOL! I asked here and was convinced to just start using dot.net. I have seen no negative behavior since. I started at v1.1. I seem to be at v3.x sp1 now on my main office client. The newest version 4.x does not work with XP. Fine. No issue. I am completing a new build of XP on what has turned out to be a very challenging set of hdw. Years back I researched dot-net via MS KB's. I was lead to believe I DID NOT have to re-install all the previous versions of dot-net to come current; that all new versions contained all the necessary links and bits of the old version. OK. That makes sense. It just does not seem to work... Fails to install ATM. Summary: I'll just reload v1.1 base and wait for MS to decide what else is necessary!

Re: [H] MS dot-NET
Mark, I'd like to start as suggested. MS no longer lists their 'compendium' KB for v2.0. I am still doing reverse research to maybe find it. Conflicting MS docs indicate the dot-net will NOT install UNLESS there is an app previously installed the requires dot-net. OK. Now, I have to dig thru 5 other clients to find which app requires dot-net? Way too much fun. Good news: the old client is back up and running w/o BSODs and other odd crashes.

Re: [H] write protected thumb drive ?
can not find anything at the manufacturer's site. turns out two partitions, one
usable one locked but can be copied from.
used fdisk on it from a boot floppy, at first looked good but it failed on
write. diskpart did the same thing from the console.
pretty much spent more time on it then worth but I am stubborn ( and retired 0

An update as of August 15 The medical stuff it was a mixed bag. The good news is there was never anything wrong with my kidney or arteries to it. The bad news is there seems to be very little that can be done about my critically high BP or adrenal problems. The only way I can keep it somewhat under control is to stay on the meds to stay in bed 24/7. 1 set of Docs said I had a kidney blockage while another set of Docs said I never had a blockage the doc doing the angioplasty also stated there was no blockage which hurt like hell because of my artery walls are so thick hard. Oh, this is not the end of it as he stated that he's found several other blockages in both of my legs has the next surgery scheduled for 09-02 with more to come. One of the arteries in my right leg may be blocked so badly that I'll need bypass surgery in the leg. The angioplasty Dr. recommends another try at getting thru the plaque build up while the kidney Dr. recommends a bypass. I'm to follow up with my family Dr. on Tues 08-17 Oh! It seems that I've forgotten to notify some of you others I sent basically duplicates. My Apologies. Keep up the good works thanks for all the get well wishes.
