Product Key question
by Guest letterman@invalid.com- 19 replies
- 921 views
I installed Windows 2000 on my laptop, which was just a test to see how it would run on a slow laptop. (I have both Win2K and Win98 installed). I just installed Win2K on a spare desktop computer using the same install CD. I gave the desktop a different username than the laptop, but used the same Product Code, since I intend to delete Win2k on that laptop (too slow). On the desktop, Win2K refused to accept the (SAME) product key I used on the laptop. I should mention that the laptop has NEVER been connected to the internet so that product code is not registered to MS. I carefully checked my typing and it was correct. I tried to re-enter it, but it would not…

BSOD STOP 0x0000001A from CPU test
by Guest George Orwell- 4 replies
- 506 views
My PC froze when I tried to watch a DVD. I ran dxdiag and it also froze the PC. So I started to check things. I ran two free CPU testers (BURNMAX and CPUSTABTEST). They run for 5-10 minutes and both give the same Blue Screen Of Death: STOP 0x00000001A MEMORY MANAGEMENT does this suggest some hardware is on the way out? Note CPUSTABTEST was only running the simple test, not one of those CPU stress/heat options.

What is a "unknown device" ?
by Guest horst- 2 replies
- 406 views
Due to some big problem I had been forced to perform an in-place upgrade of Windows. Now Windows runs well again but now I am requested to reinstall 9 drivers of type "unknown device" , "PCI bus" and "PCI device" ! I inserted some of the CDs I have, but the drivers have not been found. The main problem is that installing a driver, Windows wants to know what type of driver I am going to install. But I have no idea what a "unknown device" is. I run Driver Magician using the backup I made 3 months ago, but nothing changed. Can you please help me? Horst

A disc read error occurred
by Guest Peter Phillips- 3 replies
- 468 views
My anti-virus subscription ran out. I had been going to change the program (Panda) anyway because they've stopped catering for W2K. I went for Sophos. I uninstalled Panda then - stupidly forgetting I hadn't immediately rebooted - I installed Sophos. A restart produced: Verifying DMI Pool Data Boot from CD: Boot from CD: A disc read error occurred Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart That's as far as it will go.I don't even have access to my second W2K emergency installation on HD5. Any ideas, anyone? Thanks

Print Spooler takes a large percentage of CPU time.
by Guest davidtheweb- 0 replies
- 339 views
I have a recurring issue with a Print Spooler on a Windows 2000 Server. A print job will get stuck and take a large amount of the CPU time. I stop the print spooler in Services, go into Windows (or Winnt) | System32 | Spool | Printers and delete all jobs in that folder and restart the print spooler. This fixes the issue temporarily, but several days later, the same process occurs. Is there a way to trace where the stuck print job is coming from, or has anyone run into this same issue? Thanks, David

Selection of graphic software for picture display
by Guest Beyond X- 4 replies
- 446 views
I want to know how to set up my Win2K so that a particular graphic software is selected to display a picture file (e.g. -.jpg) by clicking it in Win Explorer. Presently the bulky Photoshop is automatically selected and loaded after long wait before the picture is shown. If I can somehow change the setup so that Paint is selected, for instance, waiting time should be a lot shorter.

DRWTSN32.EXE
by Guest JM- 1 reply
- 415 views
The drwtsn32.exe file is the one that opens when a program generates an error and you get a message saying "something.exe has generated errors and will be closed by windows." If I set a program to stop this one from closing other processes, will it mess up the operating system, or is it safe to do? Thanks, JM
