Need Help with QBasic Commands
by Guest Terry Mester- 2 replies
- 257 views
I have QBasic Version 1.1 which, as you know, doesn't have a functioning "Help" Menu. There is no information available on Microsoft's Website which provides a List of QBasic's COMMANDS, and the proper syntax for its Commands. Does anyone have a complete list of QBasic Commands & Syntax which you could post here, or E-Mail them to me at tlmester@niagara.com. Thanks for you help. Sincerely, Mr. Terry Mester

Hello, i've got a question. On Windows 2003 there are the WMI-Classes 'Win32_Volume' and 'Win32_MountPoint' to get Information about MountPoints. On Windows 2000 and Windows XP, these two classes don't exit. Are there any other classes which include the same information on Windows 2000 and Windows XP??? -- Nur wer denkt, irrt auch!!!

After giving up on the problem deleting recently emptied folders, I tried to update the W2K installation. This failed with a fairly common error message EOX..... the details of which I do not have access to for reasons explained below. None of the MS site suggestions allowed the windows update to begin. Assuming the W2K SP4 installation to be corrupt, I attempted to perform an in-place upgrade, booting from the installation CD with the correct raid drivers available during start-up. After failing to read spxcoins.dl_ off the installation disk, or off a subsequent floppy copy, the inplace upgrade stopped midway during final registry of devices. The spxcoins.…

On March 13th server 2 was not responding with messagelog: Event Id 2510 : The server service was unable to map error code 1453. On March 12th server 1 was not responding with a number of strange messages. In both cases a Cold Boot was required, but the systems did not hang completely.

Reboot?
by Guest Sid Elbow- 7 replies
- 409 views
I have an odd situation that may (or may not) be related to my Win2K configuration. I run AVG antivirus on 4 machines all with Win2K. AVG is set to update automatically each day. Recently, on one machine only, the update software is demanding a machine reboot to complete the update. It didn't used to do this and none of the other machines do it and they are all receiving the same updates. This leads me to believe it's a difference in OS configuration which is necessitating this reboot. It's a minor nuisance but does anyone have any idea what might affect this?

Is there a way to get my logitech mouse (marble mouse trackball) to go at double speed? Even the "fast" box is much slower than the same option under windows 98se. Logitech doesn't respond, so, maybe someone here knows of an aftermarket program that will just double the motion speed of the mouse - ok?

dueal boot - blue and white screen

On ASUS notebook with Windows XP Home attempted to make it dual boot to install W2K. Before dong any changes I copied original ntldr (245K) and ntdetect.com(47K). With Partition Magic created an NTFS primary partition and installed W2K Pro which went smoothly, and W2K was running OK XP Home would not start at all because, as I seem to remember, ntldr(211K) and ntdetect.com(34K) generated by W2K would not load XP, -so I replaced them with the those of XP Home I copied earlier. Now after selecting XPHome it produces the screen suggesting several modes of loading XP Home, but whatever mode I select it just restarts the computer. I replaced ntldr and ntdetect.c…

Reinstalling RAID Drivers
by Guest DSt- 3 replies
- 287 views
Hi all, I have a Dell PowerEdge 2500 server, which has a PERC 3Di RAID controller in it, attached to two 36G drives, which are mirrored, running Windows 2000 SBS. We have been having problems lately, where one drive has been going offline - so the other day, we tried to install some of Tools from the Dell website, for diagnosis - unfortunately, one of them, it would appear, has somehow deleted or replaced the correct driver - after restarting (to complete an install of one of the tools), we now get a STOP Error: INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE. The drives are online at the moment, the array is intact and the data seems to be on the disk (I've used a boot CD to g…

Users & Groups
by Guest Danny- 1 reply

Win 2000 Server. I want to ad a user to the "Administrators" group who is now a member of the "domain user" group. Should I just add them to the Administrator and also leave them as a member of the domain user group, or remove them from the domain user group. I'm not sure if being a member of both groups is only redundant or could cause a problem. Danny

A few weeks back, an update for my W2K O/S might have had a gremlin or two in it. Anyway, since then whenever I use IE, I never get asked if I want to make it the default. (My normal browser is Opera.) However, it suits me to switch for a while. How can I make IE the default? Thx
