Help with Skype video problems      oneclick ... anita nkrumah   |   Edit   |   Show History

I can't get Skype to work. I can call someone and see them and talk to them as long as I want but if I ever turn my video on, it all goes away and the connection is dead. I need help. Anyone know how to do anything about this? I'm told it is some setting that is not set right. I've downloaded the newest edition of Skype so it is not that. Please help! Email nkrumahanita@yahoo.com with info.

Windows 2008 Outbound Firewall Problems      pburrett   |   Edit   |   Show History
I have set the firewall state for domain, private and public to block both inbound and outbound unless there is a rule that matched. Inbound works fine, however when I do create an outbound rule the traffic is dropped, if i turn back on private outbound (i.e. allow) traffic is allowed. The rule i was testing with was to allow TCP port 80, 443, 25 and UDP 53 outbound. Can anyone help? Note: There are no other firewalls.

Since three days, suddenly, I'm no more able to copy files from C to A, but I can do it from A to C. I can do it from C to B and form A to B and vice-versa. I've tried rebooting the modem, disabling firewalls, but nothing happens.

This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer.      Gregvol   |   Edit   |   Show History

1)When I click on a link in an Outlook email I started reciving over the last month a message "This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator".....I am the admininistrator but my spouse as well as my child has a user area and they don't recieve this message. Does anyone know what I've changed by accident that is causing this problem? Using Vista...thought it was related to the new Explorer 8 install but unloaded and reloaded 7 and still no luck......Since the versions of Explorer and Outlook are the same for all users and the others don't have this problem I'm at a loss as to what I have clicked to cause this problem....

2)Asked a User Account Control message when I open up Explorer "A program needs you permission to continue" just to have to click okay...other users do not get this message......work around click but a pain.

3)Last problem causing me heartburn and all users is the script error on the page everytime something does come up....


Thanks in advance for any help someone can provide.
