Legacy Operating Systems

After being able to get back to the laptop and try it, I tried to boot it in regular mode and then in safe mode and checked the event log. Here are some items from the start up. These bring up a question. Would a bad block make it do this. The "TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper" error is because a Dlink wireless device is not working in safe mode.

Hello All. My domain is a windows domain with windows 2000 and 2003 server. The computer on the network are windows 2000 and XP. Tonight I'm doing maintenance on the network and see something that is very weird.

All the domain that I see in this list are concurent company and I'm pretty sure that someone in our company visit their web site during the day. Why I see many domain in "My Netwo…

I needed to uninstall SP3 because of problems with a software package that I use daily. After successfully uninstalling SP3 I can not access the internet via IE 7. I am running XP Pro. Any ideas on how to resolve?? Should I try to reinstall SP 3 and if so then what?? As I do need to remove SP3. I have uninstalled SP3 on another machine without this problem.

I have run into the ExAcT same problem w/2 machines recently after cleaning malware off of them. BOTH were totally loaded with malware, trojans and SypCraP. After scanning and deleting a friend's computer with Adaware, I then scanned it w/Spybot. It also found a bunch of mess and of course, wasn't able to delete everything until rebooting. After restarting the Dell (behemoth) Demension 4500, I attempted to log into the same account that I used before restarting. - - - - Once i clicked onto the account, it >briefly< attempted to login and then after about 2-3 seconds... it was logging me >OFF<. I didn't even get to see the desktop it happened so…

XP SP3. IE 7. I am trying to reinstall an INTEL graphics video driver. Installation gets almost to the end and then fails. Various error messages include "missing file" , "wrong hardware" etc. This is a 4 year old Gateway computer; the driver and graphics card are longer supported. Gateway said to try in safe mode. Safe mode gives a runtime library error. This is well above my pay grade. How do I fix it? Thank you.

The other day i got asked the question as to what the difference in functionality was there between the following two options Offline files: Delete Files and Ctrl + Shift + Delete Files I probably should know this, but unfortunatly i cant seem to find any diffinitive statements. I have found documentation on both options, but they both seem to do the same thing. Delete files is very straight forward: "This method of cleaning up the cache allows you to delete individual files reguardless of where they are lcoated on the network or the folder in which they are contained" Re-initialize of the offline files chache and database: "The offline files…

I find myself suddenly unable to uninstall certain programs, even ones that are listed in the Add/Remove Programs menu. There is one game in particular that is not functioning properly, but when I try to remove it, it loads the install shield and the progress bar, then hesitates for a few seconds, then shows a message box stating that the requested maintenance has been performed. No matter what I try, I cannot get these items to re-install either. -- BruisedEggplant An Eggplant Gone Bad...

Hello, I have a PC that is running WIndows XP Pro SP2. It doesn't show any desktop icons. I can try to drag items there but they don't show. I'm just running standard desktop - no active desktop addons. I went and reset it to the standard bliss desktop - no special themes. I've verified there is both a visible user desktop folder with items in it as well as an all user desktop with items showing. I've scanned it two ways for viruses - no viruses. I'm not sure what has changed. Any suggestions on resolving it?

Has anyone else had this problem? I'm on XP Pro 64bit with SP2 and sometimes when I alt+tab, instead of going to the most recent window I had open, it picks any other random window and completely shuffles the order around. It's not a deal-breaking issue but it is a bit of a pain. Anyone know of a hotfix? Search on the MS webby turned up nothing :-(

Am using SBS 2002 with 5 nodes with Windows XP SP3 - one of the nodes was formatted yesterday. In one node, except for one profile, no other roaming profile is working. The same is the situation with the new installation. I shall appreciate if some one can guide where I am going wrong. Thanking you in advance, R. K. Khandelwal

Hi, I've discovered the following undocumented keys in Windows edit fields: ctrl+h: delete char (like backspace) ctrl+i: indent a level (like tab) ctrl+(j/m): line break (like enter) ctrl+del: delete till end of line (not delete next word as in RTF fields or editors) ctrl+backspace: insert char 127 (not delete previous word, like in RTF and most editors) Does anyone know the history of the rather Emacs-like ctrl+(h/j) i.e. why are these keys used in Windows while most of the other Unixisms such as ctrlk for kill line aren't? Similarly, what's up with the broekn ctrl+backspace and why doesn't ctrl+del work symmetrically to it? I reckon one source of …

Occasionally, and it is only once every 1 to 2 months or so, I get in 'EventLog-System' some 'ftdisk event 57'. This basically says do a chkdsk. If I run a chkdsk I sometimes (not always) get errors fixed like: Recovering orphaned file 'opr01h65 (187185) into directory file '32379' and Recovering orphaned file 'opr01h5w (187182) into directory file '33825' Q1 What do these mean? Where are the 'opr01xx' files from, and where is the 3xxxx directory files that they appear to have been recovered into? If I run chkdsk /f it claims to fix everything, and all is well again, until the next time. Q2 Whats likely to be causing them, how do I locate the actual p…

We have a win 2003 server which is accessed by multiple clients (around 10) by RDP. The machine has 4GB memory. When we start a SAS sort, the performance monitor shows a lot of page faults, but the machine has still 2GB memory available. Why does a process experience page faults when there is plenty of memory free? Martin

I have a full installation disk for XP Pro but, unfortunately, it only contains SP1 and Boot Camp requires at least SP2 and on the original installation disk. I have tried slipstreaming SP2 on to my existing disk but without success. I would appreciate any suggestions that people may have to resolve my problem Many thanks

Hi I am moving to a new computer from XP to XP I would like to just move over my Speech Recognition file and not go back thru the training setup. Where are the speech recognition file, what is the EXT, and cn I just copy them. Thanks

Suppose you were running a SETUP program to install an application that's about two years old. Suppose one of the components (such as a driver) happens to have the same name as one that currently exists on your computer. So this is a situation where an existing (but newer) driver is about to be replaced by an older driver of the same name. Is the operating system smart enough to prevent the newer driver from being clobbered by the incoming (but older) driver? If the answer is yes, how does the system determine which driver is "newer"? Does it go by the timestamp of the file, or is there some coding inside the component that identifies the version? ....

Saw an announcement for Adobe flash player 10.X. Of course it only supports XP and Vista. Looks like they are not going to fix the 9.0.124 version which does not work well with Firefox 2.X even though they claim it does. Shame on you Adobe, BOO, HISS!

All of a sudden, the MSN home page, which I usually leave as my home page is filled with hundreds of thumbnails for a wide range of pictures. The thumbnails actually chop off the left and right sides of the original MSN home page, and this new setup is a PITA, and worthless as far as I'm concerned. If I can't get the old MSN home page back, MSN will be history with me as far as my home page is concerned. Does anyone know what's going on here? Ron Hirsch
