Hi, I have windows 2000 server installed on a server with 2 partitions. Now windows 2000 doesn't boot, gives this message: "Windows 2000 could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINNT\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEMced startup options for windows 2000, press F8." In safe mode doesn't boot as well. So I tried to insert original CD, and tried to make repair option, but I've got the message saying he doesn't find a windows 2000 installation. What can I do to repair this installation? Thanks.

Changed Name & Lost Access
by Guest Thomas- 3 replies
- 287 views
The vendor I bought my workstation from used "Preferred Customer" & regrettably I tired of it & went into "Users and Passwords" in the Control Panel on Win 2K Pro & entered my name instead. I checked NO boxes which would require a password. I rebooted & now I get a log on screen (there was none before) which when I enter my name, requests a password. Since I chose none, I can't fabricate one. I CAN get into the O/S by typing "Administrator" & hitting "Enter" w/o using a password, but I cannot access 5 1/2 years of desktop & other customizations. I can see program files through "Computer Management" but recouping "Preferred Custo…

Older PC slows down with USB 2.0 printer
by Guest dave xnet- 3 replies
- 370 views
Hello, I added a USB 2.0 PCI card to an older PC to accomodate a new Canon USB 2.0 inkjet printer. The card installed fine and is working, but here's the problem. All it takes is for the printer to be turned on, and the PC becomes very slugginsh. Running HDtach shows about 40mbps (on an Ultra66 Promise controller) while it runs at 58mbps when the printer is turned off. Why would the USB device cripple the PC? I've been in the BIOS to see if there's anything, but for now all I did is disable the legacy (onboard) 1.1 USB controller. Any thoughts appreciated.

We have a Windows 2003 Active Directory domain. Users login with a domain account. Several of our workstations (Windows 2000 Pro SP 4 and some Windows XP Pro SP2)are logging in to find that their profiles settings are missing. We do not use roaming profiles. On investigation, I find that under the C:\<system folder\documents and settings\, a new folder is created with the name username.domain (i.e., johnsmith.abc.com). The original "username" folder still exists. I can correct the problem, and I had done that repeatedly. However, I would like to see if there are any suggestions on preventing the loss of the profile in the first place. We have ha…

cmd.exe and others: 0xc0000142
by Guest marcosignacio@gmail.com- 3 replies
- 258 views
Hi, Im experiencing some problems with cmd.exe (0xc0000142)'s popups, and sometimes initiating some services (ie mysqld-nt.exe). Note that I CAN run cmd.exe normally. The strange part of this is that this isnt happening always.. sometimes it does, sometimes it doesnt. I already ran hijackthis, online/local (updated) AV scanner, adaware, spybot S&D ant others, without any luck. Plus I ran sfc /purgecache and sfc /scannow with the same result. Any advice on this will be very appreciated. Thanks, Ignacio.

Best procedure/soft for backup of entire drive ?
by Guest Spendius- 3 replies
- 316 views
Hello, I'm looking for a backup software that would enable me to do the following in case of hard disk crash: 1/ boot from a CD containing the backup/restore program and a USB driver, 2/ plug an external USB disk containing the image of my crashed hard drive, 3/ then find this image from my CD, and restore it to a brand new internal hard disk. To sum up: I'm looking for a small software, allowing me to install it on a CD to boot from, on which I'll put a USB driver as well, to access an external USB disk containing my backups... I'd like to be able to backup an entire drive, whatever the filesystems (NTFS...) existing on them... Are there free…

Hi I hope you can help since online support has proved pointless. Everytime I boot I get a Blue screen. with the following error. Stop 0x00000050 (0xEC2BF340, 0x00000000, 0xEB90A71E, 0x00000000) PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA I have tried a hardware solution mentioned. All anti-virus has been disabled but it continues to occur. No New hardware has been recently added. The only thing that has changed was a hotfix that installed when I shut it down last night. Unfortunately as I have no way to access the system I cant say what it was. I have tried using the recovery functions though the Windows 2000 disc but had no effect except that now when I try …

Windows 2000 Very slow after logon
by Guest NonStop Johnnie- 3 replies
- 348 views
My system is having problems after logon. It's almost as if it is preoccupied trying to looking for and waiting for something and therefore is slow getting around to any other tasks. It seems to be helped by unplugging the network/internet cable. This is particularly evident in very slow windows explorer, non-existent Disk Manager operations, sometimes non-existant Add/Remove software operations. In looking at help files these symptoms all seem to have different solutions and I don't seem to find any common connection. I can't think of anything I've changed with the system except perhaps a java update. I use this system for editing with Avid Med…

Compress Old Files utility is gone
by Guest janastarr- 3 replies
- 338 views
Hello- I have a laptop with Windows 2000 Pro loaded on it-I've noticed that when I use the disk cleanup utility that it doesn't have 'compress old files' or 'old chkdsk files' listed on the submenu. Since I bought this laptop used, I'm assuming that a previous owner had this option removed via the registry. Is there a way to get these options back using the Windows 2000 CD or does this involve tooling around in the registry? Thanks for any response.
