Logging into a Win 2000 Pro PC
by Guest Phisherman- 3 replies

I have a LAN with Win98, WinXP and Win 2000. I can I eliminate the login window to the Win2000 Pro PC from the Win98 or WinXP PC? The password in the Win2000 PC is blank, but the name must be entered. I'd like to eliminate this login window on the Win 2000 Pro machine, if possible. Thanks.

Regaining EN logo on the task bar
by Guest DaffyD®- 3 replies
- 718 views
At startup when when the taskbar icons were loaded at restart, one of them was the EN for the Text Services language bar. I closed the language bar on the task bar and now I can't it back. I know I probably don't need it but I'd like to do the reverse of what I did. so that EN logo would load the same way the SoundMAX, Volume control speaker icon, ATI icon, D4, Zone Alarn, The Area connection speed 3, and the Norton Antivirus Auto-Protect enabled all do all at start up.What would be the registry hack for this?

Hi, system Windows 2000 sp4 Pro: all of a sudden my mouse started halting for a minute or so, or until I tap it on my desk a few times. also, it will jump to other areas of the desktop or just hop around. then it will behave for 15 or 20 minutes and start again. thinking it was the mouse I put a spare mouse and had the same problem - then tried a wireless mouse; same problem, and decided it was a system problem I ran chkdsk /r and sfc but it did not help. any suggestions ??? thanks, bob

After giving up on the problem deleting recently emptied folders, I tried to update the W2K installation. This failed with a fairly common error message EOX..... the details of which I do not have access to for reasons explained below. None of the MS site suggestions allowed the windows update to begin. Assuming the W2K SP4 installation to be corrupt, I attempted to perform an in-place upgrade, booting from the installation CD with the correct raid drivers available during start-up. After failing to read spxcoins.dl_ off the installation disk, or off a subsequent floppy copy, the inplace upgrade stopped midway during final registry of devices. The spxcoins.…

After an automatic update, my desktop is gone, along with most icons and shortcuts. Outlook is now empty of all emails and address book. All favorites and cookies are gone. When I go to Programs, even those shortcuts are missing. Is any of this recoverable? (I know the shortcuts can be rebuilt, but Outlook is the biggee) This is the second time in 2 years this has happened! -- Dave

Can't access add-remove

I am unable to access add-remove programs. When I click the icon in the control panel, the add-remove box comes up but there is no information inside it. To get out, I need to reboot; ctrl-alt-del only closes the control panel itself. The above is true for both of the administrator profiles on this machine. How can I fix this?

How to identify runaway process / memory leak
by Guest Brian- 3 replies
- 342 views
I have an SBS2000 server that pretty much hangs after about 10 days of running because it runs out of nonpaged pool space. It has been running fine for about 5 years, and this started perhaps two months back. The first time, I thought it was just an anomaly, but there has turned out to be a consistent memory leak. Through PerfMon, I have identified the fact that both the nonpaged bytes & the handle count steadily rise after a reboot but cannot easily identify which process is responsible. All the documentation I have seen seems to require me to have a suspect process before I can determine whether it is, indeed, the problem. However, how can I ident…

Saving GIF and/or JPEG from MS Paint
by Guest eramawm- 3 replies
- 293 views
Hi. I used to have a computer with Windows 2000 and used MS Paint a lot to copy bitmaps and convert to GIF or JPEG. Then I got a new computer, also with Windows 2000, but to my surprise I can now only save in four different bitmap formats. Where did JPEG and GIF go. I have tried to search the internet and found things like "graphics filters must be installed" and that MS Word would contain graphics filters. And I have MS Word installed and from what I read the graphics filters for GIF and JPEG are always installed with Word. So why doesn't my Paint save to GIF or JPEG? Thanks in advance, eramawm

How can I pop up a message from a shell command?
by Guest Robbie Hatley- 3 replies
- 344 views
I have a program that can open certain types of files (such as yenc-encoded data files) only from within itself, one of the reasons being that such files have no standard extension, hence the program requires the user to specify operations to be performed by clicking one of several buttons in the program's GUI, before opening the file. Hence trying to use file associations ("MyProg.exe" "%1") won't work, because the program has no idea of WHAT you want to do with the file after opening it. SO, I put a reminder line in the shell in the registry, like so: KEY: VALUE: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT .ntx (default) = "yenc_data_file" yenc…

Opera messed me up
by Guest Brett Holden- 3 replies
- 750 views
Hello, All! After installing the Opera browser as my default web browser I decided that it was not all it was cracked up to be. I uninstalled it. Now, my IE works fine for most browsing, but if I click hyperlinks imbedded in email (I use OE) nothing happens. Some of the hyperlinks in my favorites menu also do not function. I went through the process of resetting HTM, HTML, etc. file association in Windows Explorer(> Tools> Folder Options> File Types) - or at least I think I got them all. I even re-installed IE6. It's been several years since my last Win2000 OS load, and I am planning on re-imaging my sytem next month - but I don't want to do it r…

Closing port 135 and disabling DCOM affect Task Scheduler?
by Guest updata@noemail.com- 3 replies
- 294 views
I recently had a reason to set up a scheduled task for the first time in quite awhile. However, I couldn't start my Task Scheduler Service. My operating system is Windows 2000, sp4 with the updated rollup pack v2. I found that the only way to start the service was to right click on the mstask.inf file and install. That asked for the SP4 update version of mstask.exe and mstinit.exe on the original Windows 2000 OS disk. After successfully starting the service, I now get constant auto updates from Microsoft asking me to install the Update Rollup SP4, which was already installed. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/891861 I decided to install it ag…
