Is it OK to enable SafeDllSearchMode?
by Guest void.no.spam.com@gmail.com- 7 replies
- 575 views
I read that the registry key SafeDllSearchMode was introduced in Windows 2000 SP3. It improves security by searching in the system directories for DLLs before searching in the current directory. But it was disabled by default in all versions of Windows until Windows XP SP2 because it could potentially break existing applications. Does anyone know what applications will break if you enable it?

"no operating system found" when 2nd hard drive connected
by Guest jbclem- 2 replies
- 418 views
I just added a 2nd hard drive to my Win2000 computer. It's the only device on the secondary IDE cable, set as "master". It's recognized in the bios setup but I can't access it in Dos (using Xtree Gold) and when I boot up the computer it's listed on the screen below the primary computer and the CD-Rom drive. But the boot doesn't go much further, just to a black screen with words that say somethuing like "no operating system found". I've found that if I turn off this 2nd hard drive (it's installed in an external sleeve with an off-on key) the computer will boot up normally. If I turn on the 2nd hard drive and reboot I get the "no operating system found" message. …

I have a home network with two machines, one an XP Pro box and the other a Windows 2000 machine. After working flawlessly for a long time the machines no longer can 'see' each other. I am able to ping each machine from the other. Internet connectivity works for both boxes My Tivo box can see shares on the XP Pro box My XP Pro box can see the shares on itself but not shares on the 2000 box. The 2000 box can not see shared folders on either itself or the XP Pro box. If I'm on the 2000 box and I go under My Network Places-->Entire Network-->Microsoft Windows Network I can see the name of the workgroup but no shares appear under that. File and Pri…

Recycle bin - interesting problems
by Guest JR- 0 replies
- 327 views
After a recent crashed install of norton systemworks, completely lost the recycle bin - probably from a lot of manually deleted registry entries. Couldn't use the registry backup just before the install as it would not ''find'' the keyboard (even though device present). ugh? Could create shortcut to re/bin but showed as hidden and could be edited.... Went through earlier registry and exported all the keys relating to th re/bin on the desktop (namespace and the clsid entries) and imported to current registry. Now have desktop re/bin back with full and proper function. However, do NOT have same in explorer view. For example, rename desktop re/bin t…

Windows Explorer display mode
by Guest horst engel- 0 replies

I set the display of all directories in Windows Explorer in the detailed mode. But there are several directories I prefer to be displayed in the icon mode. I have been able to teach Explorer to show about 10 directories in this mode, but not any more. When I exit and reenter in the same window I have again the detailed mode. Is there any way to set a greater number of directories to be seen in the mode I like more? Thanks for your help Horst

Time issues on non-PDC domain controller
by Guest Guest- 2 replies
- 398 views
Hello, I'm posting because Google isn't bringing me anything. I've got a DC on a virtual server, that has been somehow freezing or being non-pingable. My real problem is, when it comes back after two-five minutes, it's time is off by that amount of time. It isn't a PDC nor does it hold any FSMO roles at all, though it is a GC and DNS. But the main thing is, how often does a non-FSMO DC check with the PDC to update its time? I have manually updated the time at least 3 times this week, and because the DC's machine name is first alphabetically it is the default responder for domain time, and some apps are having problems. I need to try to understand f…

Hi, Yesterday, my PC automatically updated and rebooted following a patch received from Microsoft update. The system event viewer shows the following event: Restart Required: To complete the installation of the following updates, the computer will be restarted within 5 minutes: - Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool - July 2007 (KB890830) - Security Update for Windows 2000 (KB926122) After the reboot, it appeared that my desktop was completely reset as if I had just reinstalled Windows2000. I think what happend is that the patch somehow changed the folder references used under Documents and Settings to a new version of my user. If I look und…
