"Socket 0 Error" / IRQ conflicts
by Guest David D.- 10 replies
- 710 views
I have W2K Pro SP4. My system frequently crashes with a "Socket 0 error". It does not crash if running in safe mode with no internet connection. IRQ conflicts might be the culprit (although I could be wrong about that). My system reports IRQ 11 conflicts: 11 RADEON 7500 SERIES 11 NEC PCI to USB Open Host Controller 11 NEC PCI to USB Open Host Controller 11 NEC PCI to USB Enhanced Host Controller 11 Win2000 Promise Ultra133 TX2 IDE Controller 11 HPT372 UDMA/ATA133 RAID Controller 11 CMI8738/C3DX PCI Audio Device 11 VIA USB Universal Host Controller 11 VIA USB Universal Host Controller 11 VIA USB Universal Host Controller 11 Realtek RTL8139/810x Fa…

SEARCH missing
by Guest Bruce- 3 replies

Recently in my Win2K: 'SEARCH ' item on the 'START' button is missing; right-click (on a drive or file) sometimes does nothing and/or 'PROPERTIES' on the right-click menu never works if I do get a menu. I have run Adaware, Spybot, Avast & XoftSpy. They all find nothing of note [log files, and tracking cookies perhaps]. Obviously somthing, somewhere, sometime changed something in the registry I'm guessing. I have looked on Microsoft's knowledge base, but never found anything close to my problem. I have looked for information about the registry elsewhere, but there is soooooooo much, that I have not been able to sift through it to find what I need. …

administratior denied access to local policy console/ftp problems
by Guest Help is always greatly appreciated- 0 replies
- 380 views
Documentation suggests the importance of enabling local log on user rights for iusr_computername (the anonymous account taken on by any visitor to a public FTP site) and indeed when I try to enter the site via browser from another box access is denied even though the welcome message I put in there appears. But it still says invalid port command 500 and asks me if I have permission to enter the file after setting NTFS permissions correctly I think I want to check local security policy but it's locked, even when I attempt access to that administrative mmc console as an administrator. (Note this ftp server is just on win2k pro) Suggestions please? Also wha…

problem with dragging and dropping files between explorer windows.
by Guest Adam Sandler- 1 reply

Hi all, Running W2K, SP4, with all the updates. Occasionally, when I have two explorer windows open, and I'm dragging and dropping files between folders, I get this error in the middle of a copy and/or move operation: "the file name, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect" The path shown in the error message box also sometimes has some weird, non-printing, characters in it. Any ideas why this is happening? Thanks!

F-Secure cripples computer
by Guest phantom- 16 replies
- 903 views
One of the computers in my household has been crippled by a failed uninstallation of F-Secure, bundled in a package from my ISP they call Cogeco Security Services. Or something like that. What happenned was the computer suddenly reset, as if somebody pressed the reset button that doesn't exist. That was in the middle of uninstalling Cogeco Security Services. The result, is that the computer cannot connect to the internet any more. We can't figure out how to fix this; the computer has to be able to access the internet in order to reinstall the software, but it can't do that, so we can't reinstall it to uninstall it again. We have tried running the uninstaller "bw…

Outlook Express email problem (Windows 2000 professional)
by Guest Helpless in Ohio- 3 replies
- 523 views
I recently discovered (when I had no response to 2 job applications!) that when I click on an email address within a received email and send it - it doesn't register - the person it was sent to doesn't receive it and it does not appear in my sent folder. If I copy and paste the address into a new email, it works just fine. Roadrunner says it's a Microsoft problem; Microsoft wants $49 just to hear the problem - can someone out there help me??? I do not have the Windows 2000 software - the computer was a gift already loaded and the software didn't come with it.

Re: WinDVD.Exe- Application Error

Re: WinDVD.Exe- Application Error Hi, I got the same problem. I've found this error on 5 other forums and tried all their suggestions. I think though with a debugger you can find the file that has the problem loading and then reload a new copy of it or a good copy. Either from the windvd install cd or windows install cd. I have a suspicion that its a dll file. Here's a link to someone with the same error message but with the suggestion of the using a debugger. http://www.d-a-l.com/help/archive/index.php/t-22392.html I hope this helps its the best idea I got. I really wish windows would do this automically for you. Just reload the files that …

Accessing Issues

I have a setup a domain on our test bench to test some disaster recovery scenarios. It has 2 windows 2003 Sp1 servers. One server is a domain controller and the second server is an exchange server 2003. Everything was working fine. I tested a disaster recover scenario where I trashed the exchange server 2003 and then rebuilt it again to see if I could recover it. I made backups of the system state and exchange server database. I have put this exchange 2003 server back on the test domain again as part of the recovery process. The problem I have know is that I can ping the domain controller from the exchange server but I cannot do vice versa, meaning…
