Win 2K workstation recovery
by Guest Fred- 3 replies
- 307 views
Hi, could someone suggest the best way of recovering a dying 2k workstation. The pc currently boots up, but hangs on the windows screen. It does go into safe mode though. It looks like symantec applications are causing the issue, but i cannot uninstall them, as the installer service is not running and will not start. I could really use the config from this box as it is used for a bespoke application, The pc has a unique setup, which my predecessor did not document the build of!! Currently i have no win 2k media, however i may be able to lay my hands on some. Woulkd the best option be to try and recover the current install?? Cheers

Open Flash USB folder like XP?
by Guest Tony- 0 replies

There's only one feature from XP that I wish Windows 2000 had - and that is automatically opening up a folder view of a newly inserted USB flash drive. By any chance, does anyone know if there is an application that will enable Windows 2000 to do that??? Thanks! Tony

shutdown, restart, logoff
by Guest Tony- 6 replies
- 469 views
shutdown, restart and logoff do not work if following this path: START - SHUTDOWN - REASTART, SHUTDOWN, LOGOFF CURRENT USER. It will shut down manually in about 2 seconds, but I know repeated "hard shutdowns" are not good for my PC. Installed is WIN2000 SP4 O.S. I was told it was prolly a setup in my BIOS , but I went through that yesterday and could not find a place for shutdown or restart. Any info will be helpful, the more detailed the better. Thanx, Tony L.

CD's missing

Sorry about the prior post - please ignore A moment of madness or was it just the onset of something worse made me look at errorsmart which promised to speed up my computer something drastic - yes it showed that there was more than 1000 errors which could be corrected if I paid the dues - Well I did and promptly my favourite video editor was not available and I could not reinstall it. The makers of the editor and I went into a lenghty email session with no end result. Other things on my computer bothered me. Help came in the way of a 10GB image of the OS partition dated before the purchase of the magic program mentioned above. Hi presto - trouble cured. I i…

can not log in
by Guest mc- 15 replies
- 675 views
I changed the local security policy on windows 2000 and the next day when I went to log in as the Administrator I got this message saying "the local security policy of this computer does not allow you to log in interactivly." I have tried logging in under safe mode and the guest account but the guest account was disabled and the safe mode didn't work either. Now I can't log in to my computer at all. Is there a way to get in and change the settings back or somehow force the computer to log into an account? Thanks, JM

Temporarily Disable Power Management
by Guest Roger Fink- 1 reply
- 322 views
I'm in the process of updating the BIOS and Embedded Controller programs on a ThinkPad (required in this case as part of a miniPCI wireless upgrade). The BIOS upgrade went fine, but I aborted the embedded controller upgrade when the final message before the actual flash came up: "Exit now if Power Management is enabled." I take it this means ACPI. To figure out how to disable it, I checked both device manager and the BIOS settings. Device manager shows various subcomponents whose drivers can be uninstalled. The BIOS has a "Power" category, with subcomponents where it looks like you can only make adjustments to their operating peramemters. I could find no refere…

DHCP Redundant Configuration Question
by Guest MPG- 5 replies
- 435 views
Hello folks, We've got a domain that has about 120 DHCP clients. We've got two Win2K DCs. Until recently, all of our DHCP was handled by the second domain controller. I modified the setup to provide some DHCP redundancy and have some questions. Here is the current setup: DC1 Scope: 10.1.5.60 - 10.1.5.254 Exclusions: 10.1.5.157 - 10.1.5.254 DC2 Scope: 10.1.5.60 - 10.1.5.254 Exclusions: 10.1.5.60 - 10.1.5.156 The overlapping scopes and mutually exclusive exclusion lists were set up based on a recommendation in TechNet DHCP best practices. This basically leaves half of range on each DHCP server. With the current setup, each DHCP server has 97 a…

Missing Administrator Level Account
by Guest Roger Fink- 4 replies
- 370 views
I recently received a used laptop with a fresh install of Windows 2000 Pro, and no applications. I'm having a problem with it in that there is no Administrator account set up (I thought this was supposed to happen automatically during installation of the OS). Since I can only access the machine with User level privileges, I can't figure out how to create one, since the option to do this under Users and Passwords is grayed out. How do I fix this? (I don't see how any fix for this can involve the internet, since there is no antivirus program or firewall installed on the machine.)
