Missing "Mailto"
by Guest JR- 4 replies
- 331 views
Always awkward questions I am afraid - last two had no answers so must be difficult! In my constant twiddling (no rebukes please) I have managed to stop email links in web pages opening up a mail client and starting a new email. Browser is Firefox2.. and mail is Thunderbird. Checked prefs on those - all ok. Registry shows mailto entry as pointing to Thunderbird but there seems to be fields missing. Vaguely recollect removing a load of file types (unused) and just maybe this is my problem. Windows 2k latest updates. IE 6 installed but not used. Outlook completely un-installed. rgds

We setup dual boot for Windows 2000 Professional and Windows XP Professional. For some reasons, when we boot up to Windows 2000, the screen came up blank. We do not see any icons on the desktop. The only thing on the desktop is the mouse cursor. Is there a way to fix this problem? Thanks. Diane

Windows Service Pack 4 ~ Problems with the Registry
by Guest Terry Mester- 2 replies
- 303 views
I want to inform Windows 2000 users about problems which Service Pack 4 can cause. I can state from personal experience that installing Service Pack 4 can screw up some of your previously-installed Software. After installing SP4, my FaxTalk Modem Software didn't work properly, and using the Windows procedure to "Remove" and re-install it, didn't solve the problem. The Windows Remove procedure didn't remove the FaxTalk's contents in the Registry. Thankfully, the FaxTalk Website provided information to manually remove it from the Registry, and after doing that it re-installed correctly. So, if you should have some new problem with a Software Application…

How do I remove the dual boot option?
by Guest M Skabialka- 2 replies
- 252 views
I have an old Win98 machine that is being donated to some kids. I wiped the drive and put a fresh install of Win98 from the original CD. I then upgraded it to Windows 2000 with the upgrade CD we bought a few years later. However when I upgraded I had the choice of totally removing W98 or adding Win2K to Win98. I chose total removal of Win98, and convert to NTFS file system. Now when I boot it asks me whether I want to use Microsoft Windows 2000 or Microsoft Windows. I didn't want this to be a dual boot machine. There is a Windows folder and a WINNT folder. How do I remove Windows98 completely (very small hard drive) and remove the dual boot option at…

Repeat on boot-up
by Guest William- 1 reply
- 260 views
Hey all...I have a kind of old HP at home with Windows 2000 Pro. I ran a virus scan the other day and found I had infected .dll files that couldn't be repaired. I chose to delete some of them, stupidly, and now the system goes into a loop when I power on. It shows the HP logo, then the WIndows 2000 loading screen (the bar fills up all the way), and then a blue screen and repeats over and over again. The F8 options do nothing. Is there any way around this without having to reinstall Windows, because it wasn't mine and therefore don't have the reinstall software. Thanks!

Windows 2000 Server StandardEdition /PAE Question
by Guest Microsoft- 9 replies
- 454 views
Hi. I have a Windows 2000 Server Standard Edition, with 4GB of RAM installed. I also have SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition installed on the same server. I'd like Windows to 'see' all $GB of RAM and I've read articles on /PAE, but unfortunately some of these articles imply that Windows 2000 Server Standard Edition cannot use /PAE. So I have a couple of questions that I hope the group can answer: 1) Does Windows 2000 Server Standard Edition only support 2GB of RAM out of the box? 2) Can /PAE be enabled on 2000 Server Standard Edition to allow it to utilize all 4GB? Thanks in advance. PJ.

Hi I have downloaded SP4 and am trying to install it on a laptop that does not have web access (yet!). The process stops with a setup error telling me to go to the W2k Service Pack Web site and select the 'Problems Downloading the Service Pack'. Apparently, I can get information about downloading a version of the service pack that does not need a Web connection. I CAN'T EVEN FIND THE SP WEB SITE!!! Can anyone help an aging newbie please?

I'm using windows server and exchange 2000. In order to have the send as permission for user A on mailbox of user B, I go to AD, search for user B's user account and under security tab, add user A and selected the send as permission and restarted the information store.

Why will this thing happen? The user A will keep on disappear from the list and i need to add it manually. "Allow inheritable permissions from parent to propagate to this object" is not selected.

I'm installing an updated application on a Windows 2000 machine that requires the .net V2 framework. This application tried to automatically download and install it but apparently got hung up.
