by Guest jbclem- 6 replies
- 579 views
I'm trying to install Norton Antivirus Corporate edition and keep getting this error 1906: failed to cache package. According to Microsoft.com this is a problem with the Windows Installer and "This error usually occurs when 10 or more merge modules are used. " Also "This error is caused by reaching a limit associated with the total number of characters in the cabinet file names." Microsoft.com also states: " Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article. " And they say "This problem was corrected in Windows 2000." Here's the funny thing...I'm using Windows 2000 SP4 and the problem is s…

Just installed W2K on and IBM X40 notebook PC. Every time it starts the is first a black and white screen with: Windows starting ... and under this a line of short vertical gray bars, these bars are filled in progressively from left to right THEN the regular W2k white splash startup screen appears. What causes that initial screen? Noticed on another system with XP, it does this same thing but only sometimes, on the X40 it's all the time. Thanks

Dear all, I have a problem while I installed .NET 3.5 on Microsoft Windows Server 2000 and I have got the error message as below: The procedure entry point HeapSetInformation could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll.

I'm trying to clean up my hard drive and notice a lot of subfolders under c:\winnt\installer, they have names that are long series of numbers, and in these subfolders are files, some of which have names of programs I've installed. I'd like to know if it's essential to keep these files/subfolders, or if I can just delete them to save space. Does anyone know? John

event viewer (application) not recording anything
by Guest jbclem- 4 replies
- 513 views
I'm trying to figure out why my computer is locking up occasionally and I was hoping to spot some error in the Event Viewer (application). In the past there has always been a long list of application events. Now there is nothing there, even after I refresh it. Looking at the Event Viewer (system) there is also nothing showing, but when I refresh it the listings show up like they should. Could there be a corruption in the Event Viewer system, and how could I fix this if it is. John

DxDiag freezes PC .
by Guest Nomen Nescio- 0 replies
- 354 views
I got an old PC from my wife's business, but the sound did not work. It just ticked about once per second. She said the sound worked fine when she had it. Then I recalled the only thing that I changed was the modem. I removed this modem (a Lucent winmodem) and hear music again. Now I had tried dxdiag before and answered 'no' to the questions did you hear a sound? out of curiosity I ran dxdiag again. Now it won't start up. I get a message DxDiag has detected that there may have been a problem accessing DirectSound the last time this program was used. And the PC seizes up: hard disk light goes out, mouse will not move, even ctrl-alt-del has no effect. It …

Is there a way to boot into safemode and change a password or create another account or anything similar to that?? I have a laptop that I have been given but I don't have the password to get into the account. I don't want to wipe it clean and reload another OS on here if I don't have 2 go thru all of that. I thought I was shown this a good while ago but when i try it i'm still getting a logon screen. Maybe it was another OS that this was done on, I can't remember. It's a Gateway SOLO 3500... and it's running Pro Ed. If it's NOT possible, would anyone know of any other way of getting past my lil problem here. THANX N ADVANCE. Wayne B.

Need software to setup home network
by Guest letterman@invalid.com- 4 replies
- 381 views
I have a desktop computer with Win98 and a laptop with Win2000. I want to network them to share files. I dont need firewalls or anything fancy. Just want to share files over a wired connection to a Linksys switch. The switch recognises the computers, but I can not get either computer to access the files on the other. I have spend several days trying to do this manually and finally gave up. I have a fair knowledge of computers but I am not a computer geek nor do I want to be. There must be some software that will automate this whole process. Please provide a link to any software I can download. Preferable freeware. Thanks LM
