Safe Mode Not Displaying Drivers
by Guest Will- 3 replies
- 337 views
I am trying to transfer a Windows 2000 install to new hardware and the system hangs and reboots on one of the drivers. For some reason, starting in Safe Mode is *not* displaying the list of drivers as it usually does, on the new system. What would cause that and is there some extra step I can take that would force display of each driver as it loads? -- Will

Re: recent security update breaks print spooler?
by Guest jojo1- 0 replies

Re: recent security update breaks print spooler? Thanks Sally. You don't know how much your advice assisted me. It was spot on. In fact, I even uninstalled SP4 rollup after fixing up the printing issue and reinstalled it to prove that by deleting HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\PostS PUpgrade) and then restarting the spooler, it alone solved the problem - and it did. Even though I spent countless hours trying to fix the problem before taking your advice, I was much relieved when your technique worked. thanks again -- jojo1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jojo1's Profile: http://forums.techarena.i…

Process-dependent automatic opening of specific file in Word
by Guest Herbert Eppel- 6 replies
- 452 views
My Translation Memory software produces intermediate tab-delimited txt files, which I open in MS Word (and temporarily convert to a table via a macro) for reviewing purposes. I wonder if there is some (relatively straightforward?) way of implementing a procedure that would check whether txt export subprocess is finished and then open the exported txt file in MS Word (and run the conversion macro)? -- Herbert Eppel http://www.HETranslation.co.uk

IE6 on Win2K Won't Access SSL Pages
by Guest Pat- 0 replies

Suddenly, Internet Explorer 6 on Win2K Pro won't browse to any SSL webpage. Administrator accounts can access SSL pages, but non-administrator accounts get the IE "page not found" error. I've recently had to fix corrupt user accounts, and these accounts are the ones that can't access SSL pages. Firefox can access SSL pages fine. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks, Pat

Lately, I notice that my machine does not go into standby. Neither does the monitor turn off. I wonder how would the computer know whether to go into standby or not ? What "resets" the standby timer or monitor turnoff timer ? Thanks !

New Hardware Found Error Message
by Guest Bob- 1 reply

Windows 2000 I have successfully installed a new printer & set it as the default printer. It works fine, no problems. Whenever I reboot the computer the "found new hardware... please wait" box comes up (listing my printer model), I must wait almost 5 minutes (the computer is tied up while Windows searches for drivers) then the dialog box asking new to insert the CD with the drivers comes up, I hit the cancel button at that point and everything works fine. What's up? How can I stop this from happening? Thanks in advance... Bob

Wandering taskbar
by Guest Blithe- 0 replies
- 278 views
(Applicable to W2K (SP4) For a week now my taskbar randomly relocates to the top, then to the right of the desktop - and refuses to drag back to the bottom where I want it to stay. By 'randomly' I mean that once it relocates then it will stay a day or two then change position for another similar time period. I posted for a remedy here and microsoft.public.win2000.registry but the suggestions were to try dragging the taskbar back (a hopeless task) or to clear my system of malware that was causing the problem. I have since made all reasonable efforts to scan for malware. I was learning to live with the annoyance. However, today, July 23rd, the taskbar sudde…

HELP - Corrupted User Accounts?
by Guest Tom- 1 reply
- 326 views
On my Windows 2000 Pro laptop with my HD partitioned as C: and D:, I just repartitioned the D: drive to give me more space using V-COM's Partition Commander (I booted from the PC CD). While using the boot CD, I saw a menu item labelled "Change SID". I figured that it would present me with a dialog that would show the present SID for my hard drive. However, I got an hourglass and I guess it must have changed it without asking - damn! After booting, I logged in as a Administrator and did some disk defragging (DiskKeeper). I also installed the lastest MS updates using Windows Update (except for the .NET updates). Horror of horrors, I've lost my non-Administra…

Sometimes my QL toolbar relocates from the bottom of the desktop to the right side. The online 'help' says to click on the divider line & drag it back. That worked the last time. Nothing works this time. There has to be a way to reset the default. Please advise how to end this frustration. Blithe

hi everybody. I have a jukebox managed by QStar, and the file system that it creates is UDF and i don't know if Windows 2000 server SP4 can handle a network drive bigger than 2TB. i belive that windows 2000 doesn't write this file system type, but it can read the data stored in this way. Do someboy know if i add more disk to de network drive managed by QStar, windows will become crazy when the space arise up 2 TB ?? Thanks in advance.

I am beginning to have some issues with the current motherboard in my system. It is a two processor ASUS P2BDS (yes, and oldie - but it has treated me well). I would really like to swap motherboards and avoid building up my system from scratch, but all the boards I ma looking at are single (uni) processor. If I recall correctly, when Win2000 installs, it loads a different kernel for SMP systems as compared to single processor systems. Will the SMP kernel just revert to a "single processor" configuration? Or will I need to somehow install the uniprocessor kernel? Undoubtedly there will be a couple of rough edges in terms of doing a motherboard swap, but is …
