Opening and saving files
by Guest Ray K- 1 reply
- 264 views
In the good old days (up until about three weeks ago), when I went to open or save a file, the dialog box would display the existing folders in alphabetical order, followed by files in alphabetical order. Now, with some programs, the dialog box shows the files and folders (in the list view) in what appears to be in random order. While the dialog box is in view, if I click on View Menu, choose Details, then click on the Name column, the folders will appear first in alpha order, followed by the files in alpha order, just as I want. But the next time I try opening or saving a file, the dialog box doesn't remember my last settings, but reverts to showing fi…

Is there a way to install the WIA service in Windows 2000?
by Guest PROPHARM- 3 replies

My company uses our own application to scan docments through a "Plustek Mobile Office D28 Corporate" scanner, but our application freezes periodically. The only fix we have found is to use a WIA driver that uses the WIA windows service. I see the WIA service is in later Window's O/S' like XP, but I need it in Windows 2000. Thanks

IBM Serveraid 4xl Error

I am installing windows 2000 on a IBM eserver with a IBM Serveraid 4xl card for the storage system. When I start the install I press F6 that will allow me to specify a specific driver. I insert the floppy when asked and it detects the proper driver. I select the driver and then let install proceed. After a bit it give an error that nfrd960.sys was not found and setup fails. The nfrd960 file is on the floppy so I can not figure out what is happening. Any ideas would be appreciated, the other option is to install Windows2003 but I can not get the CD drive to read my disk so I was going to attempt an upgrade to get to 2003, that is the reason for the 200…

disk space issue
by Guest inenewbl- 0 replies

Hi all. My win2000 server prompts a warning everyday. The warning is "The D: disk is at or near capacity. You may need to delete some files". This warning appears even though i have 16.1GB disk space free. The total disk space for my D: is 67.7GB. I did not use the registry setting to amend the DiskSpaceThreshold parameter hence it should only prompt if disk space is less than 10% of total disk space. Is there any other setting i should check? My win2000 server is on sp4 and install with symantec antivirus client and sql2000. Thks in advance.

Win 2k RDC Printer Problems!!
by Guest rhogue- 0 replies

I have a Win 2k computer connecting through a VPN and RDC to a Win 2k3 Server. The Win 2k computer will not print redirect when in the server RDC. I tried altering the registry, re-installing the printer, checking group policy, and mapping printers with terminal services configuration but nothing seems to work. If I go into printers and faxes when remotely connected it shows the printer but if I try to do anything with it, it gives me an error that the device has the wrong name or is not connected. Any Suggestions? -- rhogue ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rhogue's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/member.…

Situation: Database server with several networked apps. Several apps are set up to use services that those apps have created, e.g. backup exec and "Track-It!". Each app had a service account under which it was run (generally domain administrator). few weeks ago the services could not start under domain admin, but can under local system. At least one cannot just leave it alone as a work around because it uses an outlook profile on the machine and local system, I'm told, won't work with the profile. only server in domain with this issue

Windows suddently won't start
by Guest Lee M.- 3 replies

I just swapped mobos and did a repair install on Windows 2000. After than finished I applied SP4, loaded the nVidia drivers and the ATI video driver. Everything seemed to be running fine. From the desktop I changed the color depth from 16 to 32 bpp and it hung on a blank screen after I said OK to make the change. Before restarting, I pulled the power plug to the floppy drive (I had never connected the ribbon cable), plugged in the case fan and closed up the case. Now Windows won't start at all. It hangs on the splash screen at about 3/4 of the blocks in the progress bar in a normal startup. Tried to start the last good configuration and in safe mod…

Anonymous access to Share
by Guest Doc- 4 replies

We have a Windows AD 2003 domain with a share on a Windows 2000 SP4 server that needs to be accessed by XP machines that are not part of the AD domain. If I set the share to Everyone/Full Control, the XP machine gets access. However, if I attempt to tighten-up the security by removing Everyone/FC, I cannot gain access to the share. I have looked at giving the Anonymous user permission but cannot get this to work even hough I think this is the way to go. Guest account is disabled. Can anyone point me in the right direction on this ?
