Wireless PCI adapter for Windows 2000
by Guest void.no.spam.com@gmail.com- 7 replies
- 495 views
I am looking for a wireless PCI adapter that supports WPA on Windows 2000. Since Windows 2000 does not have the Wireless Zero Configuration service like XP does, then the wireless PCI adapter needs to come with its own utility that lets you use WPA. I also would like the adapter's software to run as a Windows service (as opposed to running only when a user logs in) - that way the system can respond to pings or share requests if no one is logged in. The software should also allow limited user accounts to use the wireless connection. Any recommendations?

Why is my server slow?
by Guest Jay- 1 reply
- 309 views
Hi, I have a Windows 2003 Server with no major software, just MS Office and MS SQL Server and no antivirus software too. It is a standalone machine and it has an SQL database with 500Mb of data and a procedure that takes a a few hours to run. This machine has a 3 GHz CPU and 1028MB RAM. Thing is that I have another Windows XP Workstation with SQL Server Personal Edition, 2.8 GHz CPU and 512 MB RM. However, my process takes 1/2 the time to run on this workstation. The Harddisks are both IDEs => The controller on the workstation is "Intel 8280...Ultra ATA Storage Controller" I am not sure about the Server. Why would this be??? Some suggestions on what…

Problem deleting large files
by Guest ejohnson@unitedwww.com- 4 replies

I'm running a windows 2000 server with NTFS as the filing system. It's an email server. I'm having problems deleting some large files that are on this server. It seems that if a file is in excess of 500MB, then I can't delete it. I've tried deleting one via windows explorer and the server's UI hung. I've tried deleteing another through the command prompt, and the same thing happened. Some more info: * I was actually attempting to DELETE the file, not move it to the recycle bin. I held down the shift key so it would actually delete the file. * I shut down all the mail services before I attempted to delete the files so I knew there were no processes wi…

Hi to all, for some reason my Compact Drive labels changed to xm/sd and I can't change them back. the other drives in my folders give me the option to rename, and the general tab in the properties box of the other drives allow a label change but not the CD labels. I have tried this in both the folders list and the 'my computer' box. I also tried to change it in the registry with the same results. (I restored the registry) thanks to all for your suggestions, bob

WinSxS, functional under 2k ?
by Guest Steph- 9 replies
- 552 views
Using windows 2000 Pro SP4. After a reinstall and some cleaning, I noticed I "caught" a winsxs folder, which some research shows to be for use with Windows XP and later side-by-side DLL storage. Was this function somehow retro-fit to Windows 2000 by a Windows update (which I doubt... but safer to ask the experts) ? Am I free to simply delete the contents of the winsxs folder ? Regards -- Steph (no working email)

USERINIT.EXE - A new startup
by Guest ms- 8 replies
- 626 views
I normally have a very stable W2K system. This AM, I ran a utility that removes all instances of McAfee products, I didn't ever install McAfee, but the program instantly executed and was not able to be stopped. It apparently didn't find anything. But since then, I have a alert utility, and get frequent notices that USERINIT.EXE wants to be added to windows startup. I finally allowed it, rebooted, everything *seems* normal, but I am concerned, as W2K has daily cold booted fine for over 2 years w/o this startup. Below is the report on the USERINIT.EXE now in my system. I don't know if it replaced an earlier version, as I never before had occasion to loo…

CHKDSK at startup / Win2K
by Guest Riskman- 15 replies

I tried to run Error Checking (CHKDSK) on my Win2K Pro, and selected both options to auto fix file system errors and scan/attempt recovery of bad sectors. A popup window advised it would require running at startup, so I OK'd the schedule, then restarted system to allow CHKDSK to scan, fix, recover. CHKDSK proceeded thru its 5 phases, completed each to 100% with no apparent issue, but upon completing the last phase the system moved to a blue screen with the following stop error: *** STOP: 0x0000000A (0xC0001C8C, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0x8043832C) IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL *** Address 8043832C base at 80400000, DateStamp 45ec3c8f - ntoskrnl.exe "If th…

Wireless problem

Hello Well Respected Microsoft MVPs. Did I post to the right group or should I try somewhere else? I just purchased a refurb. wireless PCMCIA card for my notebook. Netgear WN511b and Compaq Presario 1700 17XL265 Win2000 sp4. I followed instructions, installed newest drivers, put the card in when prompted. Got a strong signal and the status is "Connected to router" It should however say "connected to internet". Because of this webpages do not load. It works with a wire. The manual that I also downloaded says in the troubleshooting section is that this would be a network configuration problem, but then how come it works with a wire. I took off the firew…

Permissions

I have an issue with an mde file: The file has permissions set as desired. When a user opens the file and closes it the permissions are replaced giving only that user, administrators and system permissions. It removes the inheritance as well. I can go in, reset the permissions and the same thing will happen. It does not matter if the user has local admin permissions or not the same thing thing still happens. Any ideas here?

Windows Process list cutting characters off the ends of theexecutables that are running

Windows Process list cutting characters off the ends of theexecutables that are running I am using Nagios and nsclient to monitor an old windows 2000 box. I am using the check to pull the process list, and verify if an .exe is being executed. On one of my Windows 2000 Server machines, I get false negatives. A service is started, and the executable name is something like longservicename.exe. When I log in, the service is running. If I pull up task manager, I see "longservic" and that's it. So its causing my check to fail. Any reason Windows 2000 is cutting the process name short??

Are the (MS Mgmt Console's) Services data stored in a data or log file that's separate from the registry? Following a fresh W2K Pro installation on a solo desktop machine, I just disabled several services (that had been successfully disabled before on a previous similar installation without ill effect). This time, immediately experienced trouble upon rebooting, and want to restore or modify the Services settings outside the MMC Services module, as it's not working properly now. I thought that Services info was stored directly in the registry, but after restoring a full System State (including the registry) that was backed up just prior to making the Service…

I'm getting ready to do a repair/install of Windows 2000 Pro. I've done this many times with XP, but this is the first time with Win2000 and I wonder if there are any unique issues I should be aware of? Assuming the process doesn't crash can I trust that installed applications and data will be unaffected? Any advice appreciated.

Changning computer name and domain of print server

i have a print server that i changed the name, domain, and IP address of. I updated DNS and WINS to have the old name point to the new IP thinking that would buy me some time allowing them to still use their old network printer setups until i got around to re-setting them all up with the new name of the server, but it looks like it's telling them they can't connect to them? anything i can do to fix this?
