Repair Install?
by Guest Mikey- 4 replies
- 378 views
I have a win2k SP4 computer that has been infested with spyware, etc. I tried running Spybot Search & Destroy & it seems to have caused more problems. When booting, the screen will flicker on & off & a box that says "C: \WINNT\System32\Command.com The parameter is incorrect" keeps poppong up. I know I don't have the disks for all that's installed on it (Timeslips, Office, Medsoft), so I want to know if I can do a repair install without losing all documents, settings, programs, etc? Kinda like what is outlined here for XP: http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm WIll the same work for Win2k?

"full-screen" DOS window doesn't fill screen
by Guest ynotssor- 3 replies
- 312 views
I have an old DOS program that runs in a cmd.exe window which can be made to use the full screen with Alt-Enter. This works properly on another win200 machine, but on a Toshiba laptop the full screen mode fills the width but NOT the height of the screen. I've made sure that the Properties and the Console Windows Properties of the C:\winnt\system32\cmd.exe window are the same on both machines, using Raster Fonts 8x12 and the same Layout, Screen Buffer 80x420 and Window Size 80x25. Still, the fullscreen mode on the laptop doesn't fill the vertical of the screen for any cmd.exe application, even just a command prompt. What am I mssing here, please?

Windows Time Service
by Guest Mark Blain- 7 replies
- 457 views
I've got an old standalone pc with a dead RTC battery running Win2K Pro. I'm migrating off of it, so it's not worth replacing the battery. Since I have an always-on internet connection, I thought it would be educational to enable the Windows Time Service and set the time on each boot instead. My firewall is allowing SNTP and I'm connecting successfully to tick.usno.navy.mil, but on startup, my event log says "Attempt to set time which differs by more than 12 hours aborted". How can I set the time on boot with the built-in service despite the large difference due to my dead RTC clock? I have a workaround using a third-party utility, but this is bugg…

DHCP tied to one of two network adapters
by Guest R-A-Waller- 0 replies
- 255 views
I have an Iomega NAS server. It is running Windows 2000 Server. It has two netowrk adapters. Is it possible to have the DHCP tied to only one of the adapters? I have several old machines that I have to do file back-up on. They range from MS-DOS 5.0 to Windows 98 / NT 4.0, IBM DOS, OS 2. I am no longer allowed to have them on the factury network. I want to set up a sub-network. I want the Iomega NAS to be a bridge between the subnetwork and the main network. The subnetwork is configured to obtain and IP from the main network when it was originally created. I want to continue this function on the subnetwork. What are my options? Thank you.

Riprep images are not being included in OSChooser
by Guest Bratox- 0 replies
- 246 views
I just installed a RIS server on Win2003. I'm able to deploy a flat image of Windows XP, however I'm not able to create a Riprep image to custom the flat image including the enterprise applications. I run Riprep from the server, the Riprep wizard finishes in the client computer and the folder structure is created in the RIS server, but when I try to setup a new client computer using that new image I'm not prompted to choose any image. RIS omits this step and installs the Flat image. I'm using the same computer for testing, so the HAL should not be the reason. Any help will be really appreciated. Thanks.

Re: Task Scheduler Services Start Error Hi there, It has been awhile but I have had this symptom this week on my 2000 server, I also have a McAfee Firewall. After editing the firewall settings I noticed a block on my programs list for the MsTask servicee. After removing this block of this program I was successful in re-starting the service. I know it has been awhile but I hope you get this message, I often find that most people would have re-formated their hard disk and reloaded their O/S. Thanks for your post. D.

Does anyone know how to tell Windows to run a thorough AV scan before going into GUI mode? I have a nasty Virut acc AVG and the only way to get rid of it I suspect is to catch the virus before GUI is entered.

win2000 install problem
by Guest h.stroph- 20 replies
- 1.3k views
I was given a Toshiba Satellite 305CDS laptop with a 2GB disk and 32MB of memory that had a bunch of personal data on a win2000 installation, so I wiped the disk and tried to install my own licensed win2000 from CD after booting from the 4 boot floppies. At about 51% of files copied, it is unable to copy several dll files from the CD for some reason, even when I choose to skip a problem file. Is the 2GB disk too small? It formats cleanly with the NTFS filesystem and no errors, and the low-level formatter I used to wipe the disk also reported no errors. memtest86 shows no errors with any of the memory. What might be the problem with this win2000 install plea…

Is the following the correct syntax for the htm and html file associations if Firefox is in the indicted location and is the default browser? K:\PROGRA~1\HKCOMMON\MOZILL~1\FIREFOX.EXE -requestPending -osint -url "%1" The DDE Message is "%1",,0,0,,,, If I right-click, I can open with IE, or any of several other programs.

Make sure the path and filename are correct and that all required libraries are available." However, the fike DOES open. Normally, such a message means that…
