Need IE6 for Win2k-pro - SP4
by Guest Gordon- 5 replies
- 409 views
I just finished installing Win2k w/SP4 (clean install on its own drive) and I cannot find IE6 on the Microsoft site. I tried to install TaxCut and it will not work with IE5 (for whatever reason) - and it directs me to get IE6 from Microsoft. Except, I cannot find it. Does anyone know if IE6 is still available? Thanks Gordon

No defrag on files that admin hasn't permissions to
by Guest AndyMHancock@gmail.com- 1 reply
- 322 views
I'm running Windows 2000 Professional, SP4, and almost always use a power user account. I mostly operate within a Unix environment provided by Cygwin. In accordance with a common Unix practice, all my power user files are set to be accessible by only the user. However, this prevents those files from being defragged. After much searching and experimentation, I found in JkDefrag's documentation that the account under which defragging is run should have "full control" over files being defragged. I've tried the Win2K's built-in defragger, JkDefrag, and Ultra Defragmenter (UD). For JkDefrag and UD, I also tried boot-time defragging. UD requires specification …

Repost: Popup during Copy/Move
by Guest ms- 0 replies
- 279 views
SP 4 In Windows Explorer Tools/Folder Options/View/Advanced settings: the check box labeled "Show pop-up description for folder and desktop items" is UNCHECKED. That is my default. It always has been since I installed Windows 2000. But starting a few days ago, I now get a pop-up showing the filename when I drag the cursor in COPY/MOVE operations with any type of file. How do I kill this popup function? Since the normal setting above does not seem to be working, is there a registry key that controls this, or some other setting? ms

how do i cancel those images from oe?
by Guest asdasd- 1 reply

How do I cancel all images in received emails: With reference to the link http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms08-024.mspx end of page we find and I quote "Impact of workaround. E-mail messages that are viewed in plain text format will not contain pictures, specialized fonts, animations, or other rich content. Additionally: etc" However, I have plain text enables, then I sent myself an email with an image attachment, when I received this email the image was clearly displayed, so this statement above is false.

My computer sometimes freezes coming out of standby (attempt #2).
by Guest Robbie Hatley- 1 reply
- 306 views
I first posted the following message here 6 days ago, but to my surprise, this received no responses at all. The problem my message describes continues to recur, so I'll try posting this again to bring it back to the "top of the stack". Any clues anyone can give me will be greatly appreciated. ~~~~~~~ begin original message ~~~~~~~ Greetings, group. I've been experiencing an annoying problem with my Windows 2000: I usually put my computer in "Standby" mode at night to kill fan and disk noise without wiping out contents of RAM. I prefer standby over shut-down because the computer can be shut-down and re-started MUCH faster that way. (About 2 seconds to…

Now that it's been out for a while, has anyone experienced noticable difference with I-FAAST as opposed to the plain-jane version of Diskeeper for home users? Granted, they are on opposite ends of the bells-and-whistles spectrum.

file corruption and other problems
by Guest thedarkman- 0 replies
- 283 views
I'm using Windows 2000 with DOS v5 and have one serious problem and a couple of small ones. I had about 500 jpgs which I transferred from my old machine, mostly of album covers and musicians etc. Almost all of them have somehow become corrupted and unreadable. Worse than t hat, some save under different names; I don't know how this came about, and am extremely worried about this. The last time I had a problem like this was with WordStar restoring from floppies donkeys years ago. I am also unable to get long file names onmy machine, and video sites such as Youtube and other media play too fast. Can anyone offer any advice on this? My priority is to restore the…

Hello-- I have never had any real problems with my windows 2000 machine (I actually prefer it to my work machine, which runs XP), until I tried to burn a video CD with Nero the other day. The machine completely locked up, was totally unresponsive to CTRL ALT DEL, and it wouldn't even respond to the power button. I disconnected the power supply, and now when I try to reboot it gets a few seconds into the Windows 2000 Professional screen, then it flips to a blue screen with the following: *** STOP: 0x0000006B (0xC0000033,0x00000002,0x00000000,0x00000000) PROCESS1_INITIALIZATION_FAILED ....followed by instructions to reboot the machine in Safe Mode, but it …

Group Policy Not Working for just one user...
by Guest BadBoy House- 1 reply
- 340 views
We have a group policy configured on our network that includes a folder redirection policy. Basically it redirects everyone's My Documents folder to a central folder under their name on our server. This makes sure everything gets backed up. We've had this folder redirection in place for the past 7 years and it's worked fine. We discovered today however that one of our users My Documents folders has never been redirected. We only found this out after we formatted this particular user's computer and they ended up with no documents. Their my documents folder on the server was basically empty. Whilst we can't retrieve the data and this is no major problem …

Yesterday I restored an earlier registry using ERNDT, from 4 days ago. Have done this before, never had a problem. But since yesterday, it seems to have caused a minor problem. Had this problem a long ago in W98 but forgot the solution. In Copy or Move, etc, as the file is dragged to a new location, a balloon legend with the file name pops up. In Folder Options, I unchecked show path, etc. How to kill the legend comment? Advice? ms

How to cancel a CHKDSK /F in progress?
by Guest void.no.spam.com@gmail.com- 7 replies
- 414 views
If I am doing a chkdsk /f, and the power goes out, I will have a few minutes to shut down the system before my UPS battery runs out. How do I gracefully stop the chkdsk process? Let's say I'm running the chkdsk from the recovery console. What if I'm not doing it from the recovery console, but I had scheduled it to run during a restart? Would it be possible to stop it gracefully in that situation?

Terminal Services sessions timeout?
by Guest alex.birchall@gmail.com- 1 reply
- 270 views
I used to remotely administrate a Windows 2000 server with TightVNC. With TightVNC, I could log onto the server and start processes that run in DOS windows, lock the server and disconnect. I could then reconnect later on to the same session. Since the server was rebuilt, I am having to use Remote Desktop from a Windows XP client to administer the server. The problem with this is that it appears that these Remote Desktop sessions are timing out. I say this because when I remotely connect to the server I find no evidence that the processes that run in DOS windows are still running. The DOS windows have disappeared, and when I start the processes they begin a…
