W32time - encrypted request to NTP server?
by Guest BertieBigBollox@gmail.com- 1 reply
- 283 views
Is this supported or possible in Windows 2000? I've managed to edit the registry to point at my local NTP server and this works fine. The NTP host supports MD5 authentication and, ideally, I'd like the Windows 2000 client to use this when requesting from the NTP server.

winsxs folder?
by Guest Blithe- 3 replies
- 366 views
Re: W2K Pro (SP4) - can I delete the winsxs folder My WINNT folder tree contains a 'winsxs' folder that's 8.8MB & created Sept. 2007. I found it doing some cleanup. Some Google searches indicate that winsxs has some relevance to WinXP and Vista functions only - & as a dll file backup. Other Google hits refer to developmental project functions. Many Google hits represent inquiries like this one but no threads seem to offer solutions. Most references to winsxs seem too technical to be intended for the average home user regardless of such user's expertise. I found no relevant references on the Microsoft Knowledge base. I am very curious how this a…

CDO.dll version 6.0.6603.0
by Guest maitakeboy- 0 replies
- 256 views
I am having an issue with my Blackberry users. When they enter an appointment in their BB, it shows up in Outlook with the Start Time an hour later than what they created and what shows on the BB. I successfully installed all the DST2007 patches back in March 2007 and had no issues. However, I had an issue with my Exchange 2000 server 3 weeks ago, and it was solved by applying the latest Exchange SP3 update rollup, KB870540, which set my cdo.dll at version 6.0.6603.0. I applied this patch to my BB server too, since it had the Exchange System Manager. This seems to be when users started noticing the issue of the calendar appointments with mismatched start t…

In other words you couldn't delete it until you logged off and back or or until you rebooted the machine? Something must have had an open handle on the folder.

Hello! I turned on an old Dell machine yesterday, using Windows 2000 SP4. I noticed that it was an hour behind. Did I miss an update from MS to fix this time zone issue since I am in pacific time zone? Or did MS never release one like for XP? It should had changed automatically as of last Sunday.

PartitionMagic A.K.A. PartitionTragic
by Guest george-p- 6 replies
- 373 views
I had the very bad idea to install two OS's with the help of PartitionMagic on my Windows 2000. I copied my data to a 200GB SATA disk and partitioned the original 80GB disk SATA 2 x 40GB. After installing W2000 the nightmare started. I only have one OS installed (Windows 2000 Professional), however while booting it ask to select 1. Windows 2000 Professional and 2. Windows 2000 Professional!! Yes twice! Besides W2000 is terribly slow. I tried to delete the 80GB partitions and start all over again, but it doesn´t work. Still the PartitionMagic stuff remains in the disk. Still asks to select between W2K Pro and W2K Pro and the computer is slow as…

Lost DoubleClick on the wheel on a Wheel Mouse

After having run the program Advanced WindowsCare V2 Pro, I lost the Double Click function on the mouse. I can´t get it back again, despite going to the Control Panel -> Mouse and toggled the setting for the wheel to "Enter" and then back to "DoubleClick". Can anybody please give me a clue what´s going on? It can´t be the mouse, as I have two computers connected with a KVM switch, and the mouse works on the other computer.

I'm running a WIN 2000 PC with a wireless connection to Internet via a private wireless WLAN router and an ADSL modem. To the same WLAN is connected a MS Vista LapTop as well.

Unable to open files after chkdsk
by Guest Chris- 12 replies
- 542 views
We have a windows 2000 PC running in our office where all our common files are stored. Basically all our word documents, spreadsheets and our databases. The system reported a problem on the one hard drive where all the files are stored and requested that chkdsk be run on reboot. This was done and windows went ahead and repaired a number of files. All the files are still there, and even the correct file sizes are displayed, however we are unable to access 50% of them. When you try open a file in word, word tries to import the file saying it doesn't recognise the file type. The same with excel, PDF's, and JPG's. As Murphy’s law would have it, it seems i…

Thinkpad cold boot problem
by Guest Roger Fink- 5 replies
- 345 views
I have two nearly identical W2k ThinkPad laptops, which display the same problem. During a cold boot GoBack is unable to initialize (if that is the correct term for this), and when that happens the boot just hangs. Instead of proceeding from "Preparing Network Connections" to "Applying Security Policy", and then to the logon screen, instead it proceeds from "Preparing Network Connections" to "Applying Computer Settings", and from there into limbo. I'm sure GoBack is the problem because in a successful boot, by design the GoBack logo will momentarily flash on the screen once it's initialized. After this failure, if you immediately reboot from shutdown, the next bo…

Blue Screen problem
by Guest sherwindu- 13 replies
- 532 views
I received two blue screen messages this week, while the system was sitting idle. I have been running Windows 2000 with SP4 for quite some time, with no major problems. I ran extensive memory checks producing no errors. I did several virus scans with nothing found. I did several chkdsk's with no errors found. At the recommendation of the text on the blue screen, I disabled the cache memory in my BIOS settings. However, doing that caused the startup screen to stall out and I had to reset the cache memory. The error on the blue screen was: KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR I have added no new hardware, and all things appear to operate fine. Any ideas on…

How to get autorun working in win2k?
by Guest galapogos- 2 replies
- 251 views
Hi, I have a few USB flash drives that have CDROM partitions in them with autorun, and 1 of these autoruns work in 2K while others don't. Assuming I have the ability to modify the contents of the CDROM partition, how do I get all of them to work? I've looked at the autorun.inf files, but they all seem to be pretty similar, except the one that works is a U3 drive.
