I've switched from a real old, Asus P2B, motherboard to a slightly newer one, Asus P4PE. My Win2000 CD, which has worked many times in the past, now when I try to boot up to install Win2000, will go through the first screen that lists all the components and then stop with these words: Boot from Atapi CD-ROM: no emulation. I can boot up in DOS using the Hirens CD. And I've tried to install Win2000 via DOS, and I can get partway through the installation, but when the installation starts copying all the files onto the hard drive...some of them won't copy and so I can't get a good installation. I've checked this Win2000 CD on my other computer and it will go throug…

disabling device per HW profile, but option greyed out !
by Guest Steoh- 8 replies
- 654 views
I need to disable certain devices in a particular HW profile. In a normal situation this is a no-brainer, Device Manager has a 3- way scroll-box with options to enable/disable/enable in this HW profile for each device. However, that option has been deactivated (is greyed-out, and the scroll-box non functional) for some of the devices which I want to disable :=( The only possibility apparently remaining would be to remove the device(s) completely from system, which is /not/ what I want !!! Please tell how to reenable the choice - I assume it's a flag to reset somewhere in the registration information for the affected device(s). Alternately, may I …

Print Processor problem, HPXPP4wm,
by Guest eidinger2000- 0 replies
- 293 views
We are having trouble with some HP LJ 4250s printers that are networked,They're using a PCL 6 driver. The print server is a Win2k server. The printers, Print Processor are set to "HPZPP4wm", by default. But over the last 2 months, users printing multi page jobs are having them come out last page first and they can’t print using legal paper from any tray. If I switch printer’s Print Processor to “WinPrint” everything works fine. The problem is after several weeks the “Print Processor” resets back to "HPZPP4wm" and we’re back to square one. I have seen other problems with the "HPZPP4wm" listed on the WEB. Has anyone seen this problem and does anyone have a …

Changing Windows 2000 member computer's name...
by Guest Pablo A.- 1 reply
- 391 views
Hello, I have a Windows 2000 sever, that is a NT 4 Domain member. I have to change the computer name by using the minimum amount of administrative effort and trying to maintain the group/user id's information. I was told that renaming a NT domain member requires you to create a new computer account and also to leave the domain, restart, rejoin the domain and restart again. I'm concerned that any domain id's/groups that were in local groups may be lost, even though we're adding the server back into the same domain. I'm also thinking about file/web permissions from the domain. Is there a way to retain the SID information ? Do we really need…

copy large file to USB drive hangs 1 2 3
by Guest flahmeshess- 58 replies

When I copy large files to my USB drive, it hangs. I've done some checking and found there is a problem with Win2k that is fixed in SP2. But I'm already using SP4. Any idea what could be wrong ? I don't think it's a hardware issue. I've use the drive on a XP machine and I can copy large files. Thanks for your advice.

Unlock taskbar?
by Guest Blithe- 1 reply
- 349 views
Occasionally my taskbar, unaccountably, relocates to the right or left side of the monitor & it will not drag back to the bottom. The online W2K help does not appear to explain how to unlock the taskbar which - I am assuming - is why it will not respond to dragging. Please advise and thanks Blithe

corrupt files in W2K system
by Guest Jim Szatkowski- 4 replies
- 423 views
I'm having issues with a Win2000Pro SP4 installation (workstation). I had some files corrupt on the hard drive and ended up running a repair - chkdsk /f and getting the hard drive to read correctly now. Win2KPro wouldn't boot. The drive is still ok - I'm dual booting into other OS's just fine. However, it appears the corruption was in/on a section of the drive that had the 2KPro system files. It starts to boot into 2K and goes to the black screen with the white boxes across the bottom and hangs on the second little box. That part appears to be past bootldr and etc. I tried to do an inplace upgrade-repair of the partition and got a parallel insta…

Isn't 003 Router the Gateway not the DHCP ip's
by Guest Irwin- 1 reply
- 280 views
1. Isn't '003 Router' the Gateway not the DHCP internal ip nic? 2. Do you know of any issues if I use more of the scopes options? 3. Does 'reservations' prevent assumed scope options? 4. Shouldn't I set smtp, wins, www, etc.,. because each client would know a assumed 8day scope on topology of network. 5.Wouldn't this prevent less traffic? 6. Does 'reservation' use lease cost route per scope option? 7. Couldn't each client have more than one nic wh each nic have different reserved scope options? 8. If I setup using the above networking topology. Wouldn't this give the most optimal and secured network as far as DHCP assigning the scopes? (this d…

Hi, I have a problem with a little script that stops four services. When I test the script in a command line, the script runs correctly, and it stops the services. The problem is when I schedule the script with the at command, the scheduler have an error, and the services don't stopped. Any idea?

IE6 makes a screeching sound whenever it is opened

I reformatted an older laptop and put the original Windows 2000 back on, but upgraded to IE6. Whenever I open Internet Explorer there is a high-pitched screeching sound in the background, from the minute IE opens until it closes, no matter the web-site. If it is closed there is no noise. What on earth could cause this and how do I stop it!!!

Can anyone tell me why I am constantly seeing old users in the Licensing tool on Windows Server 2000 found under Administrative Tools? I show users taking up licenses dating back to 2003. If I revoke the license it comes back. Many of these people no longer work here. Where are these people coming from and how do I clean it up permanantly?

My Windows 2000 Pro laptop has a c: partition and a separate D: partition.for data. I've been searching for a reference on the best cluster size for a Win2K partition, but can't find anything. The C: partition is a 12G NTFS partition with a 512 byte cluster size. Would 2K be a more desirable cluster size for faster performance? Thanks!!!

I have a user that tries copying files into a shared folder and she gets: "Cannot copy <file_name): Access is Denied. Make sure that the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use." I've tried taking ownership, which allows ME to move the files. I give her ownership and she still can't complete the above task. The disk is not full or write protected and the user has the appropriate share/ntfs perms. Any suggestions?

After update KB944338, ASP server fails
by Guest Adam Alexander- 3 replies
- 354 views
After installing the latest Windows Update, KB944338, my local development server is no longer functioning. I am running Personal Web Manager on Windows 2000. I am just a lowly front-end web developer still doing all my server-side coding in classic ASP/VBScript. (If it ain't broke...) Anyway, I've never had a problem before, but after installing the lastest vbscript.dll-related update, I now get this error whenever I try to access any page on my local server: Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0201' Invalid Default Script Language The default script language specified for this application is invalid. And absolutely nothing I have tried has worked thus far.…
