Five Minutes

Everyday. You're hunched at the computer, flicking the keys with the greatest of ease - or, like me, poking each stroke with the speed of a...umm...well, it DID rhyme! Everyday. You're mesmerized for hours by the wonders of Internet business - you market, you negotiate, you design, you submit, you research, you chat...a lot... Everyday. Enthralled and empowered by your cyber-independence, you plan and scheme, plot and dream. While life in the REAL world goes on around you... "Hey Mom, can I have lunch now?? It's three o'clock!!" "Huh? Whaa...yeah, five minutes, honey...lessee, click here..." Funny how the daily grind hasn't ground to a halt…

by Guest Adam Smith- 7 replies
- 318 views
I am cautiously attempting to insert a key into my registry but the instructions seems to miss some details. I have done this before but now seem to have lost my way, perhaps some one can guide me back on track. Below is the instruction set: --------------------------------------------------- How Do I Enable Windows Installer Logging? Windows includes a registry-activated logging services to help diagnose Windows Installer issues. This article describes how to enable this logging service.

I simply, just want to display them. So, I have a Windows 2000 Professional. Is there a way to install East Asian Languages without the CD? Will it be okay if I download the Global IMEs meant for Windows Me, Windows 98, Windows 95, or Windows NT 4.0 and not running Office XP? And yes, I did read this link: http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/handson/user/2kintlsupp.mspx

Stubborn Hard Drive Doesn't Want to Revert to Basic Disk
by Guest ey.markov@iname.com- 3 replies
- 235 views
Greetings, Some time ago I aborted a conversion to dynamic disk in my W2K Pro machine. I have attached a 250 Gb drive as slave, went into Disk Management, converted it to dynamic. Then, when I issued the same command for the first disk, the "Are you sure?" message reminded me of the drawbacks, so I clicked "No" and reverted disk 2. Problem is, ever since then disk 2 stubbornly shows as a 128 Gb drive under Disk Management. DOS tools see it properly, and I was able to partition it (32, 80, and 130 Gb), but almost every other day Windows would tell me that the third partition (the one that crosses this imaginary 128 Gb border) is corrupted, would run CHKDSK on…

Autorun.inf virus
by Guest Sid Elbow- 5 replies
- 468 views
My virus Scanner AVG has just reported a virus in a file that's been siting in a backup directory on my system for just about a year without being previously flagged (I guess yesterday's update got it). What surprised me was that the file reported is an application's autorun.inf which is a text file. When I opened the file in wordpad I saw this [AutoRun] open=RavMon.exe shell\open=´ò¿ª(&O) shell\open\Command=RavMon.exe shell\explore=×ÊÔ´¹ÜÀíÆ÷(&X) shell\explore\Command="RavMon.exe -e" (I hope the strange characters in the 3rd and 5th lines show up). Is it possible that this could act as a virus/malware?

Windows 2000 (service pack 2) explorer corrupts current foldersetting when try to access a different folder Dear all, I just can't believe that there is no solution for the following problem other than switching to Windows XP or at least to some replacement for Explorer.EXE: If I open the Windows explorer with its standard setting (tree view in the left pane shows all the folders) and let it open, I experience the following problem after the Explorer has been idle for some minutes: When I return to explorer and attempt to click on another folder or a file in another folder I get the message "C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Desktop\desktop\[]\tmp is…

Switching primary IDE cable to secondary slot, and visa versa, and adding a 3rd Hard Drive
by Guest dumdedumdum- 0 replies

Switching primary IDE cable to secondary slot, and visa versa, and adding a 3rd Hard Drive On this older computer I somehow have on the Secondary IDE cable/slot the hard drive with C,D,E partitions. The Primary IDE cable/slot has the hard drive with G,H,I,J,K partitions. Don't ask me how, but F shows up (using Ztree to view it) as a mapped partition on my other computer. F doesn't show up in My Computer, although other mapped partitions do. Only two computers on my LAN. I'm now about to add a 3rd and larger hard drive and I'd like to get this all straightened out before I put it into the mix. First question is: if I move the cable so that the C,D,E hard …

DebugDiag Log Files - Can they be Deleted?
by Guest Diane- 3 replies
- 261 views
In looking for system drive space, I discovered several GB of Perflog(...).blg files in the debugdiag/logs/perflogs folder and 2 old post-mortem dump files in the debugdiag/logs/"crash rule for all iis_com+ related processes" folder. Can they be deleted ? More importantly, how are they being generated and can I safely turn off the process? If yes, I would appreciate directions on how to do so. This is not an area I'm familiar with at all. Thanks for your help and advice.
