Q. We want to upgrade our Windows version. Will we lose all our data?
A. No, you will not lose any data when upgrading a current version of Windows to an update version of Windows. However, it is always a good idea to make a complete back up of your files before performing any major change to your computers, network, or servers. |

Q. I can't access certain files on the server. It tells me 'You do not have permissions to view this file'. Why can't I view it?
A. The permissions on certain files may have been restricted to allow certain people to have access to them. This is done for security reasons. Please see your Systems Administrator to find out if you can have access. |

Q. I received the error 'System resources low, can not complete operation. Please close some files to free up memory'. How could all of my memory be used?
A. This usually occurs for several reasons. First, the system cache could be overloaded due to long periods of time between restarting your computer. Try restarting. Second, if you have a lot of programs that run 'in the background', meaning they are running while you are performing other tasks, this can slow your system down and take up a lot of your virtual memory. Programs that do this are and messenger or chat programs, the Weather Bug program, or media players such as QuickTime or RealPlayer. Closing out these programs and changing the preferences so they do not run at start up will also help free up resources. If this doesn't help, adding memory can help alleviate the problem. |

Q. How do I connect to the network printer to print files?
A. Click 'Start', 'Settings' and 'Control Panel'. Select the Printers folder. Click 'Add Printer'. Click 'Next', select 'Network Printer' and click 'Next', then 'Next' again. Select your printer from the list and click 'Next'. Click 'Finish'. |

Q. I want to share files between my Mac OS 8.6 and a windows 2000 server. I have
installed the Apple Talk protocol and the File sharing for Mac. My problems is
that when I try to copy a file from my Mac to the share on the 2000 server,
I get a permission error. "You cannot copy "filename" onto the folder
"AppleShare Folder", because the disk is locked. However, I can easily copy
files from the 2000 server to the share folder.Have any ideas?
A. The windows 2000 Microsoft UAM volume that is created when you install File
Services for MAC's is automatically registered as a read only share. You
must right click on my computer click manage click shared folders select
Microsoft UAM volume right click to properties and uncheck read-only and/or
change the permissions.
You can also right click in this area to create new MAC volumes to share as
well. |

Q. I recently upgraded to latest versions of Perl, Red Hat Linux and everything
else. I now get these error messages in all scripts which use these modules:
Malformed UTF-8 character (unexpected continuation byte 0xa3, with no preceding
start byte) at /usr/files/modules/mmagic.pm line 230
Malformed UTF-8 character (unexpected non-continuation byte 0x74, immediately
after start byte 0xf4) at /usr/files/modules/structure.pm line 293.
Although it doesn't seem to affect the functionality of the scripts, I'd like
to know how to fix these warnings.
A. Red Hat 8 and 9 both use "en_us.UTF-8 " encoding as the default system format.
I have found this causes problems with many things. For example, when I ssh
into RH8/9, many characters do not display properly on the man pages. I do not
know that this causes problem with PERL exactly, but as I was googling I read
that the malformed UTF-8 character message had something to do with LANG
settings. Putting two together makes me wonder is you should try changing the
LANG setting to "en_us".

A. (CONT.) Make the following changes to the file /etc/sysconfig/i18n.
The default file reads:
LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
SUPPORTED="en_US.UTF-8:en_US:en"
SYSFONT="latarcyrheb-sun16"
Change the file to read
LANG="en_US"
SUPPORTED="en_US"
SYSFONT="latarcyrheb-sun16"
To make the change immediate type the following at the prompt export LANG="en_US". After this you will see quite a few problems go away.
