GUI Issue
by Guest Roger Fink- 1 reply
- 297 views
I'm having two GUI problems in Windows 2000. Perhaps they are related. In my desktop computer, which is set up the way I want, I'm able to display the files within the Control Panel as large icons. This is the only folder I do this with, for the rest I use the details view. Additionally, in the quicklaunch taskbar, I can arrange the application shortcut icons any way I want. Both of these aforementioned settings remain reliably consistent. By contrast, the laptop is kind of rebelious. It only allows me to use the Details view for the Control Panel icons (I can change it but it always reverts to Details when reopened). Also, the same application shortcut icons …

How to Install W2K on a Modern System (Lessons Learned the Hard Way)
by Guest W. Watson- 0 replies
- 257 views
Rev. Aug. 18, 2007 I've learned a bit more about this, and it's reflected in this revision post. [start of an Aside on How This Got Started] Learned from various sources including the thread I started here, "Can W2K Be Installed on SATA Drives?" Let me start with an explanation of "the Hard Way". I have a P5NSLI ASUS motherboard that supports both IDE and SATA controllers. The key word is "both". I wanted to install W2K on the STATA HD, a 320G WS SATA drive. I had some fun trying to get to a point where the OS install asked how I wanted to partition the drive. I was stumped by this window that came up in the install: ============================== 76294…

I am having a problem with the screen saver. When it kicks in, all it does is make the screen black. I have the power settings to never shut the screen down so I don't think it's that. Any suggestions? Thanks, Jasper

Regarding the pdate Rollup 1 for W2K SP4--Getting Past Validate
by Guest W. Watson- 1 reply
- 274 views
See <http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?amp;displaylang=en&familyid=B54730CF-8850-4531-B52B-BF28B324C662&displaylang=en> How does this work to get the download? Do I use the Continue button to get to step 1 and download the validation program (GenuineCheck.exe) and then execute it on the W2K machine? Apparently, it produces a validation code, which is then entered into step 2. I'm assuming if it validates the code, then the actual download button is revealed, correct? -- Wayne Watson (Nevada City, CA) Web Page: <speckledwithStars.net>

Can W2K Be Installed on SATA Drives?
by Guest W. Watson- 16 replies
- 707 views
That's the question in the Subject. It seems to be balking at the idea. I have a 320G Western Digital. It seems to see something less than 320G, and tells me it wants to establish a C: drive, NTFS, of about 320M, and a D: drive of about 50M. I told it to continue, and it told me some format was incompatible with W2K. I just stopped. -- Wayne Watson (Nevada City, CA) Web Page: <speckledwithStars.net>

STOP error while starting GameGuard
by Guest Bubbles- 2 replies

(I hope it doesn't bother if I post this here again, because I think in Games it won't be noticed) STOP: 0x0000001E (0xC0000005, <insert many numbers here>, 0x00000000, 0x00000000) KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED <insert many more numbers here> NTOSKRNL.EXE This is the bluescreen I get if I try starting the GameGuard to play a game. I can execute the game just fine when I start it without the GameGuard but can't exactly play because the GameGuard is off. (This is a anti-cheat-programm so I need it anyway). Can someone suggest the solution of the problem I have? My PC: CPU : AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3200+ OS : Microsoft Windows 2000 Worksta…

Switching External Modems on Win2000/Pro
by Guest Chaim Caron- 3 replies
- 352 views
Hello All, I want to switch external modems on my Win2000/Pro machine. Do I have to "remove" the modem using the "Add/Remove Hardware" applet in the control panel? Or is it sufficient to power down the machine and switch the modems? I may want to reinstall the original modem later. I am having a problem with PCAnywhere on a dialup and I want to see if the problem is with the modem, that's why I am switching modems. If switching modems does not fix the PCA problem, I will return the original modem. Thanks! Also: I'm not sure if I have an installation disk for the modem I'm switching in. It is an old Practical Peripherals, model PC288 LCD v.3…

Unplug hardware
by Guest Lincmark- 0 replies
- 286 views
I just installed a new hard drive and cloned the old one. Now, while trying to stop a USB flash drive, the message pops up, "An error occurred while Windows was working with the Control Panel file c:\winnt\system32\hotplug.dll" while using the remove icon; and the same message with "hdwwiz.cpl" when using "add/remove hardware" in CP. If I just remove the flash drive, I, of course, receive the "unsafe removal" message. Does anyone have any suggestions?

record dialup authentication conversation?
by Guest Gretch- 1 reply
- 290 views
I have a dialup connection properly configured and functional; the connection completes as desired. Is it possible to save the details of the connection conversation to a file, please? We need to examine all detailed aspects of the authentication procedure, e.g. such as: sent [LCP ConfReq id=0x2 <asyncmap 0x0> <magic 0xedc61ec1> <pcomp>] and its response, including the IP address assignment etc, so that it can be duplicated on a different OS. Thank you for your assistance, as nothing suggests itself in the Properties of the dialup connection or its components.

2nd Q: unsafe removal detection of USB device
by Guest ntolson@gmail.com- 0 replies
- 261 views
Hello, I'll admit my mistake first - I stupidly removed a device from a usb hub that was working fine previously - without the safe removal option - The device is an external wifi plugin on a desktop - now it refuses to work - and seemingly doesn't allow re-installing. This device - Pheenet 802.11g USB wasn't assigned a Windows digital key - but it did load up ok the first time - all the problems stem from me pulling it from the hub. Every time I re-install, all works fine for a few minutes, then an 'unsafe device removal' box appears and the wifi box and connection disappear. I have tried re-installing / fixing with the install disk / removing drivers / diff…

Using An Old External Modem With Win/2K--Driver Problem
by Guest VFP Developer- 4 replies
- 384 views
I would like to use my old Practical Peripherals modem with my Win2K/Pro system. The problem is that there does not seem to be a driver available. If I try to use the old driver that was from the Win/NT 4.0 days, the system warns me that the driver is not certified for Win/2K and it may not work and it may cause the entire OS to fail. Yikes. Is there any way to use this old modem with my Win2K system? Is there some sort of generic driver? Thanks. Note: I will be away from 8/16 - 8/24.

Windows 2000 -- desktop icons have disappeared

- 354 views
Hi. I've seen a few older posts about this (from 2001, 2003, etc.) but I'm not sure if they're relevant. When I turned on my computer this morning, everything was fine. I have not installed any new programs, run anything that I don't usually run in the course of a day, I haven't run any mystery-attachments from e-mails, etc. I went away from my computer for about 1/2 hour this afternoon and, when I returned, all of my desktop icons were gone; however, when I look at the Desktop folder under my profile, they're all there. I know that nothing happens for no reason, but I don't know what could have happened. My windows updates aren't completely automatic, s…

Access to ADUC only
by Guest guv- 1 reply
- 290 views
I want to give some users access to AD user and computers on their PC's for them to administer a specific OU. I want them to unlock accounts for users under this specific OU. I have setup a msc file which gives them access to the OU by restricting access by giving them limited access to a single window. I have delegated control on the OU as well so that they can unlock accounts only. I copied the msc file onto their PC's but when they open the file it says cannot open file. I dont want to install the adminpak.msi as this will give them access to all other AD tools even though they dont have permissions. But I do not want them to see the tools. I…

Veritas Storage foundation and NTFS volume seen as RAW
by Guest toff23- 0 replies
- 264 views
Hi there, We have a storage array with a volume seen as RAW rather than NTFS. Since several days, we are working on it, with Symantec tech support and their last idea is: "From the screen shots that you sent us, looks like your volume should be in a healthy status with a file system. MSFT does have a fix that may just correct your issue. You will have to open up a support case with MSFT to obtain this patch. This will be their latest fix for mountmgr.sys on windows 2000 SP4. This fix is related to filesystem showing RAW status." We can't find the KB article related to what Symantec told us. They can't tell us where they found this article...(int…

Scanner buttons don't work
by Guest crap@daryllafferty.com- 0 replies
- 268 views
I've done lots of searching on Groups without any solution. Windows 2000, SP4. I have an Epson Perfection 3170 scanner. There are 4 function buttons on the front that used to automatically scan, copy, etc. They suddenly don't work. I have reinstalled the scanner twice. I have checked the settings in Control Panel/Scanners and Cameras. I ran sfc /scannow to make sure my Windows system files were still OK. I ran SysInternals Process Monitor. When I push the scan button, a thread is being created for stisvc.exe. But all the thread does is RegCreateKey, RegQueryValue (4 times), RegCloseKey, and Thread Exit. The query values look right. They reference HKL…
