I'm running into a strange problem when I try to log in to Netflix. I'm on a Windows 7 PC, and when I go to the Netflix site (I've tried with Firefox, Opera, and IE) I click the link for Member Signin and it tells me that my password isn't valid. If I do an email password reset, clicking the link in the email from Netflix takes me into my account screen where I can update the password. I do so, save it, then try to navigate to other parts of the Netflix site (like Streaming New Arrivals) and instead it dumps me back to the login screen, and when I enter my username and the new, updated password (or the old, pre-update password) I get an invalid password error.

This is driving me crazy, and I'm wondering if maybe something is jacked up with the Netflix site, as I also tried logging in with Safari on my iPad and the same thing happened. I thought it might be the firewall or my anti-virus preventing Netflix from setting a cookie, so I tried temporarily shutting down the firewall and AVG and then attempting to log in again. Still no dice. Is there something stupid and obvious I'm overlooking here?

EDIT: Never mind, I figured it out. It's apparently due to Netflix's retarded insistence on both IE and the latest Silverlight install, and utter refusal to cooperate with anything else. Sure hope Bill sends them a Christmas card or something.

Is there a way to change print settings without using the interface? I'd like to have a batch script or something similar that reverts the page mode to landscape and the zoom to 100%.

Is there a way to tell a Windows 7 desktop to hibernate, software-wise? I know I can set the power button to do that, but I'm going to be gone for 6 weeks, and would like to be able to RDP in, then tell the computer to go back to hibernating when I'm done.

Is there such a program that would let me fetch covers of all my music albums over the internet, or would that be considered for some reason?

I formatted and I used to have a really old version of Acrobat Pro. I went searching for new PDF software and saw this thread mentioned FoxIt Reader a bunch.

As a PDF creator I just want to print PDFs of my credit card statements and other web things I save for posterity--is the normal version of FoxIt any good? I wouldn't mind spending the $30 on some software if it is decent.

My computer won't sleep. It CAN sleep when I choose sleep from the start menu, but starting about a month ago it stopped going to sleep via the timer. I fiddled with the enabled wake devices, checked my bios settings, the works. Any tools out there that would let me see what would be overriding the sleep timer?

robocopy source dest /MIR /R:0 would work with the exception of any open files as robocopy doesn't copy open files and can't use VSS.

Can anyone recommend a good app to look for duplicate files, especially where I tell the app which directory it should delete from and which directory to keep secure? I've only found software that requires me to update to a pro version.

This is kind of weird but, what's the best hard drive imaging and copying software for Windows 98? I have an old Windows 98 laptop that uses a 1.8 inch IDE drive that I want a disk image of and I don't have any 1.8 inch hard drive enclosures so I can't just stick it in another computer.

It's also not able to boot off usb and has only 48 MB of RAM so I don't think a live usb/cd will work.

I've have a long list of words. I need software that would help me find all words that end in "tion" for example. Is there anything that would help with this, or would it be better to just create an html page and use Chrome's find funtion?

I'm 99% sure wget can do everything you want and more. I'm no expert on it but I guarantee there are goons here that are. You could probably figure out how to do it using wget help or whatever though.


(wget is a command line utility if that site isn't clear, you can use cygwin to run it if you're in windows)

So I'm trying to use Robocopy to copy files from my desktop computer to my NAS, and I'm getting an error message that doesn't make sense to me:



What am I doing wrong here? I'm hoping to put this in a .bat and auto-run it every day so that my files are more secure, but I've never been able to get it to work.

(Windows 7 Pro, NAS is a HP N40L running FreeNAS that I've never had problems reading/writing files on. I've tried RunAs Admin, no dice there either)

Krakkles posted:

Absolutely.

So:

code:

C:\Windows\system32>net use k: \\192.168.5.111\
System error 1920 has occurred.

The file cannot be accessed by the system.

C:\Windows\system32>net use k: \\freenas\
System error 1920 has occurred.

The file cannot be accessed by the system.

C:\Windows\system32>net use k: \\192.168.5.111\files\
System error 53 has occurred.

The network path was not found.

The drive is shared in FreeNAS via CIFS. The specific mount point that is shared is /mnt/brick, and the directory I'm trying to get to (for this particular command, though obviously I'd like to map other things to other areas, as well) is under that - so /mnt/brick/files/music is \\freenas\files\music\.

Without access to group policy, log-on scripts, or the user's password for psexec, how would you go about mapping a printer remotely for a user? Googling seems to only point to those solutions.
