I have searched a bit to find if it is possible to have it on XP because Vista sucks but is’t only available for Tablet PCs.

Luckily there are free solutions and replacements on the Internet.

Program is called Gadwin PrintScreen and it’s freeware.

When you install it you get a small tray icon and it’s automatically activated with Print Screen key.

In program options you can configure where to save output files, what type of picture they are going to be, resizing options and so on.

You can download program on this link.

Error that I was getting was PEER_DELETE-IKE_DELETE_UNSPECIFIED. I tried to find some with similar problem on Google but that wasn’t successful either.

So the only thing to do was to install Windows from scratch and begin from start again with elimination of software.

After a while I have found that new version of Thinkpad Fingerprint Software 5.8 was cause of my agony. It took me almost 2 days to find this error but reverting on older version 5.6 solved the problem.

I hope that this will help someone with similar problem like I had.

'Agent XPs' component is turned off as part of the security configuration for this server.

While trying different solutions from Microsoft, MSDN and different forums I have found one that worked for me. Open new query window, copy code below and hit F5 for executing. After this you can create plans.

sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1;

GO

RECONFIGURE;

GO

sp_configure 'Agent XPs', 1;

GO

RECONFIGURE

GO

Things that I missed in Desktops were:

• you couln’t move opened programs between desktops
• Firefox and Winamp (possible some other programs too) wouldn’t work on other desktop if they are allready opened on one
• desktop backgrounds would disapeer

New program that I found is called Vista/XP virtual desktop manager. Some of the options that it provide are:

• Full screen desktop/window manager/preview with full drag and drop managing
• Desktop switch indicator
• An infinite number of desktops
• Watch the windows move in real time as you drag them around in the window manager
• Multiple monitor support
• Window menus
• Tray icons for each desktop
• Per-desktop backgrounds
• Configurable colors, fade speeds, hotkeys, etc.
• Uses Vista’s live thumbnails
• XP support
• And much more!

You can find more info about program and download it on this link.

Here are some screenshoots.

So procedure would look like this:

• find wpa.dbl file and save it to some external media (usb disk, floppy, cd, etc.)
• reinstall Windows
• after reinstallation skip registration and activation
• restart pc and on boot pres F8 to enter menu where you can select safe mode
• in safe mode rename existing wpa.dbl file to wpa.dbl.backup and copy old one
• restart
• VOILA!!

So procedure is very simple and if you create your own installation cd with help of Nlite you can include this file too and skip activation after reinstallation.

Note: This file that you have saved can be used only on the PC that it comes from, on others it won’t work.
