I setup my cyberpower ups to use the windows ups configuration. I never went into configuration to see what was there. I went on and clicked "apply" and "OK". Now the computer will never stay up. The ups shuts the computer down upon boot up. Reverting to the previous configuration is not helping. I am talking about win 2000 server. What can I do? -- MisterNovice

Administrator profile corrupted?
by Guest Steven- 3 replies
- 413 views
A client was restarting the server. He declares that he saw an error message about something being corrupted, but he didn't catch much more then that. The system came back up but it seemed like the Administrator user profile was lost. The Desktop was back to default, opening IE brought up the old Setup Your Internet screen, applications set to start with the OS are no longer starting... It sounds to me like the Administrator user profile was lost. The weird thing though is that SQL Server won't start. There is an Administrator.bak folder in Docs and Settings. I'm not sure how long that has been there. There SQL error that keep coming up are M…

Hello Richard, The /C states "Continues copying even if errors occur." So it seems to be ok. Do you have any error during copying or does it stop, how do you realize it?

can't remove corrupted user account
by Guest jbclem- 2 replies
- 376 views
Both my administrator and a personal user account are corrupted. Everytime I boot up I'm in a temporary user account. I've removed the personal user account and added a new personal one(with administrator permissions). After rebooting into the new personal one, I tried to add another personal user account using the name of the corrupted one. But I get an error message saying that I can'tl add this user name because it "already has permission to use this computer". Apparently removing the user account wasn't enough. Does anyone know what I have to do to completely remove this account so that I can use the same name again? John

hi again... my previous drive label problem, I think, is related to another problem i just found: when i click on Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Computer Management i now get the error message: 'Snap-In failed to initialize - Name: System Information Extension'. also, i seem to be loosing system and application files from time to time, such as parts of MS Office which I have to re-install every other time I use any of the Office apps. I tried sfc /scannow and re-installing the support tools from the Win2000 CD. still can't get the support tools... what else can I try, I don't wand to re-install Win2000. thanks to all, Bob

Virus W32.Virut.B
by Guest Bill Norton- 4 replies

I have a server that got infected by the virus W32.Virut.B and was able to clean it from all the infected files except one. The file that I cannot clean is winmgnt.exe When I run Norton on it, it finds the virus but cannot clean or quaranteen the virus and leaves it alone. I've tried to run Norton in " Safe Mode " and also in " Safe Mode with Networking " but to no avail. Thanks, Bill url:http://www.ureader.com/gp/1338-1.aspx

Hi I just had a Raid 1 failure for one of the disks. Is it difficult to change the disk? What are the steps involved? Or should I get a professional for this task? I have the urge to try it out but afraid I might lose all the data. Many thanks in advance for any advice. Richard

automatic reboot while browsing the web
by Guest JM- 0 replies
- 254 views
Hi everyone, I was browsing the web today with Firefox 3 and for some strange reason the screen went black and the computer was back at the main startup sequence like it had been turned off and then on without win2000 shutting down normally. I checked the event viewer and it said: The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x00000035 (0x80cbb788, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000). Microsoft Windows 2000 [v15.2195]. A dump was saved in: F:\WINNT\Minidump\Mini071008-01.dmp. What exactly is going on here? This does not make sense. Everything seems to be working fine. My Kaspersky firewall did detect an Intrusion.Worm.Helkern a minu…

Wireless PCI adapter for Windows 2000
by Guest void.no.spam.com@gmail.com- 7 replies
- 487 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
- 300 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…
