File Handler
by Guest JR- 0 replies
- 296 views
Sorry for 2nd post, but last one unanswered. Probably worded too complicated. I need to know, but can not track down info, what files/libraries are called by ANY program under win2k when the ''open file'' dialog box is used in any program. The main part is done within the opening program, but something is called to get back the drives available and the files on those drives. Please, can anyone help or provide any clues. Reason. There are two types of dialog opened by programs. Newer version, with ''back'' and ''create folder'' icons etc. (where you can edit file names). This version works for me. The second is an ''older'' type with just the …

shutting down
by Guest taipan- 4 replies

I am running a home computer with windows 2000 sp4. The problem i am having is when i shutdown for the evening it takes several times of clicking shutdown for the system to power off. There are no error messages nor any other applications that need time to close. I tried waiting 20 minutes before i click shutdown for the second time. It will only shutdown on the first attempt if i turn on my system for a short period of time (5-10 minutes) and then shutdown. Any ideas?

I have an old Sony PC with a Promise hard drive controller, Maxtor hard drive and another (old) hard drive. The promise drivers show on-screen, but halfway through the Win 2000 Pro boot up process the machine stops (blue screen of death) with Inaccessible boot device. Use Chkdsk /f ... I attempted to boot from a floppy or (Win 2000) CD, but that results in a blank screen with a blinking cursor in the upper left corner. I looked in the BIOS to make the boot order: removable devices, then CD, then hard drive. The floppy I have contains the following hidden files: boot.ini ntdetect.com ntltr I can access the BIOS. It shows the correct time and har…

Mozilla cannot find

Since the last update I have from Mozilla had "Cannot find 'URL', make sure the pasth and filename are correct and that all the required libraries are available". I am using a bunch of shortcuts and have checked them; they are exactly as the header that comes up within the second, but the error message indicates something is wrong with the program. Unfortunately you cannot inform them as you complain cannot be 'submitted' Has anyone else had this trouble? Borge in sunny Perth, Australia

PrcView doesn't show full path of WINLOGON.EXE
by Guest M$ User- 1 reply
- 296 views
PrcView shows some processes as name.exe, with full path, and other processes simply as [name], without any path. I'd like to see the full path of (for example) WINLOGON.EXE. I can always download System Internal's Process Explorer from C|net, but I'm curious as to why PrcView doesn't seem to show it. I'd prefer to solve that over moving on to yet another application, though I'm not above doing so. Thanks for any suggestions.

Administrator.<machine name> ?!?!?!?!?!
by Guest pb- 2 replies
- 317 views
All, I'm running windows 2000 Pro as a machine in a workgroup. I somehow screwed up the NTUSER.DAT file for the Administrator account. When I tried to login as administrator it created a new administrator account called administrator.prometheus, where prometheus is the name of the computer. Had to reinstall some stuff, but everything seemed ok. That's when it got weird. Seems the administrator.prometheus and the administrator accounts have some weird connection where files created in in one show up in the other, run Visual Development Environments and they get confused picking bits of projects from either account, etc. I tried deleting the admin…

100% CPU Utilization with Web Browser
by Guest jl- 3 replies
- 360 views
All: Have a situation somewhat similar to other 100% CPU Utilization questions though mine seems to occur any time I run Windows Explorer now. The moment the browser starts the CPU Ute spikes to 100% and can sit there for a few minutes-thereby essentially freezing almost everything. This may have started some time back in my case and I'd initially thought is was performance degredation on my DSL line-except another machine upstairs on Vista RC1 runs like a top. Keep in mind this is Win 2K running on a PII-233 I built in Jan 1998 so it's had a long life but still? While I plan to build a new PC by end of year when another new wave of CPUs has been …

- 381 views
i have a weird problem. (win2K3 servers) I am moving dhcp fom server A to server B. i have successfully exported and imported DHCP data fom one to the other. I have authorised Server B and tried to unauthorise Server A. When i do this i get a 'Parameter in incorrect' error. A the moment i have both Serve A and Serve B as Authorised DHCP servers. One thing i notice though, when i go to the menu to 'add server' in the DHCP console from the list of DHCP servers, I see the name of the new server and the name of the old-old dhcp server prior to the current one, they have the same IP address. Maybe something weird hapened when i transferred DHCP from the older…

W2K/EX2K3 to W2K3/EX2K3
by Guest Alfred- 1 reply
- 309 views
I have a domain where the DCs are running Windows 2K3 but I have an Exchange member server running W2K with Exchange 2K3 Enterprise. I would like to upgrade this Exchange server so that it is running Exchange 2K3 on Win 2K3. Can someone point me to a reference guide for this? Also, should I perform a clean install of Win 2K3 first on the server and then reinstall Exchange 2K3, or should I do an inplace upgrade? I prefer clean installs, as they're, well, cleaner, but is this a more difficult path? Thanks.

Logon Help Needed
by Guest Sturdy- 7 replies
- 439 views
Hi all, After a bout with operator head space, I have managed to make my dual-boot W2k Pro box unbootable. Now when I try to logon, the logon dialog returns after a few seconds. Oddly both OS present the same issue so it is likely related to a common cause. Here is some additional info: 1) I had re-sized partitions on physical drive 0 when this happened (using GPartEd). Somehow my old C: is now F:. The new C: is an old data drive (I:). No partitions were moved, just deleted or resized. I can boot into F: using a modified boot.ini on a boot floppy but it comes back to the logon. 2) I also resized partions on drive 1 where both OS shared a swap file. On…

Installing a W98 Modem and Driver on W2K
by Guest W. Watson- 3 replies
- 386 views
I put W2K on an older machine that had W98. The PC is a P3 and had a combo 3COM/USR PCI (56K DFVJ CPCI PC98) modem on it. It's part modem and part sound card. On System->Device Drivers->Modem I found a 3COM/USR 56K INT FAX and installed it. When I rebooted, I got nowhere trying to dial out. System->Device Drivers->Modem showed it was there, but not operable. I uninstalled it and decided to install from the w2k install CD (drive F:) there. The wizard got me to a point where I could specify the source of the inf file. I gave it F:, but it couldn't find anything. There seem to be about 50 and beyond inf files out there. How do I w2k device inst…

Where to put swapper file ?

I have 2 disk. HDD1 has - C: OS - D: applications - E: data - X: temp data HDD2 has - not use - F: data - Y: temp data I created a X: drive which is at the end of 1 HDD to put but I wonder if that is the optimal place to put it. Should I put it in Y: drive which is separate from my OS ? Or should I put it in C: ? My problem now is that since I've added the HDD2 (which is 500GB), my system hangs when going to standby. I don't know if it's due to HDD2. Thanks.

I have a new Win2003 SP2 server installed. IIS with ASP.NET is the only service installed. There are 5 different domains on the server with static HTML pages. Now, we want to have some asp.net sites that will require email to be sent from them. I know I need to install the SMTP service, but can someone point me to a tutorial on how to setup the server for multiple domains to be able to send/receive email? Thanks. --
