Legacy Operating Systems

Hey all I am running XP Pro SP3 2GIG DDR2 800 RAM on a SATA HD (with 20G Free) CPU: Core 2 Duo 2.66 What I am finding is when I double click on a folder, it takes 3-5 seconds for it to open. Even with 0 objects in the folder, same when using the back button or the UP button. Any change in you location using explorer takes a while. The window turns white and then displays the contents, in addtion. Explorer.exe takes about 50% CPU utilization to do this magical trick. I tried re-applying SP3 incase a file was corrupted somehow. I've run anti-virus/spayware scans from Trend-Micro, AVG (which runs all the time) and SUPER Anti-Spyware, with no results…

I have a home LAN with 2 desktops and 2 laptops, all running XP Pro except one, computer J-Desktop, which runs XP Home. They run as a workgroup, HOME, with a router which assigns addresses through DHCP. All run ZoneAlarm configured to allow the network in the Trusted Zone. All computers have all drives shared. All computers see one another and can share files except computer J-Desktop and one of the other computers, K-Desktop. K-Desktop can see and access J-Desktop, but J-Desktop can only see K-desktop, but when access is attempted, the following error message is displayed: <<<<Error Message: \\abc\drive_N(N) is not accessible.

I installed 3 ShoreTel voicemail servers, each running Windows 2003 Server Appliance Edition. I upgraded each server to SP2, then installed the ShoreTel voicemail server code. Everything was working fine until we added the servers into the domain. I noticed that many of the automatic services no longer started. Assuming that there was a problem with some Group Policy, I dropped the server out of the domain and returned them to their original workgroup. The problem, though, persists. The first sign of a problem is the fact that the COM+ Event System does not start, but gets hung in the "Starting" mode. In the Event Log is the following message: "The COM+ Ev…

Hi, We have problems with scheduled tasks failing on windows 2000. A reboot solves this but we cannot get to the bottom of the problem. It's Sp4 and there's no Human Interface Devices service. I've tried making jobs with the AT command, assigning runas service and bath permissions and pretty much worked through a lot of search results. It seems to be about every 7 days it fails. Can anyone shed light on this? There is nothing in event logs (app and system). Task log attached, job names aren't actually xxxxxxxxxx lol. "xxxxxxxxxx.job" (runxxxxx.bat) Started 06/10/2008 23:45:00 "xxxxxxxxx.job" (runxxxxx.bat) Finished 06/10/2008 23:49:14 Result: The tas…

When I try to analyze or defragment my computer files I get the following message: Disk Defragmenter has detected that Chkdsk is scheduled to run on the volume: (C:). Please run chkdsk /f. I don't know what has caused this, because the last time I defraged it worked fine, then this time I get this message. Can someone please advise me how to correct this error and tell me what has happened? Thanks

Hi, lately I'm quite annoyed by the quicklaunch, in fact if I don't open it for long time it takes almost 1 minute to open. Of course avg8 plays its role on it but I wonder if someone had the same problem and was able to relieve it.

Windows XP x64 so far included only WMP11 32-bit. Vista x64 has both WMP11 32 and 64 bit. The wait is over. Here is WMP11 64-bit for XP x64. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=c6a4cecb-9cb2-42f7-8814-7cb5067ee958&DisplayLang=en Carlos

I noticed that I have a rather low sound volume on my Dell Computer. I it was better than that in the past. I have to jack up the volume on the speakers to the highest levels to achieve normal sound level which leads to me hearing static and noise. That is true for web videos as well as sound files playback on my computer. I made sure all the volume sliders are at the Max on the Windows Volume Control box (including Wave). I checked the Control Panel- >Sound And Audio Devices Properties. Device volume and Speaker volumes are at High. Sound Playback is set to "SoundMAX Digial Audio" - the only other option is Model Line Playback. I have Dell Dimension 4…

Several days ago upon reading in a security newsgroup: "Use two computer accounts. Using separate accounts will protect against the vast majority of malware. Use a Limited account for all of your daily work. Use an Administrator account only for administrative tasks." I know this is basic old hat but I'm slow. Anyhow I took the plunge and set up the two accounts. Orig Administrator account: AEM Changed to: AEM Admin (with administrator owned files on C:\Documents and Settings\AEM) Created new Limited account: AEM I then spent several hours copying needed files such as Start menu, Boolmarks, Favorites and personal utilities. I plugged alone for two-thre…

Geez, slide shows are so much easier :-) I have a wedding page made in Frontpage 2003, Used the insert web component, Photo gallery and got the thumbnails on the page OK, but when I upload the page to my website NO Thumbnaails. Picture holders are there but no pictures. The Photogallery folder is in the same folder as the page, and thats the way I understood it should be. Although I may be thourly confused, as I usually am :-) Thanks in advance for any suggestions

I've got Outlook/Office installed on my PC. I wish to run OE as my default mail program. I've got 5 users on this PC. Despite various measures that have been recommended by newsgroups etc, my system always seems to default back to Outlook as the default mail program. How do I set OE as the default mail program for all users - without Outlook taking over?

Hi, We have a 2003 Enterprise R2 SP2 installation. We had a controller fail and needed to replace it. The failed controller was an HP SmartArray 5300. We tried to replace it with a SmartArray 6400. After we installed the new controller, we received a Stop Error 0x0000007B. We could not boot to safe mode. What is the procedure to change the boot controller to a different controller in Server 2003? I was not able to find documentation on this. Thanks, Steve

I set my XP PC to reboot into safe mode automatically, using msconfig. Upon reboot, it asks for my login, and when I enter it it says it is incorrect. It is not incorrect, it is the login I have used for years now, never changed it. So my only thought was to get to the boot options using F8 and choose to boot normally, but when I do this, the keyboard suddenly stops working. I can get to the boot menu, but then the arrow keys do not work so I cannot select a different option or even hit return to accept the one given, and I notice that the caps lock key will not work at this point. When I try a different keyboard, I can't even get F8 to work. What are my options…
