Can't access add-remove
by Guest Roger Fink- 3 replies
- 347 views
I am unable to access add-remove programs. When I click the icon in the control panel, the add-remove box comes up but there is no information inside it. To get out, I need to reboot; ctrl-alt-del only closes the control panel itself. The above is true for both of the administrator profiles on this machine. How can I fix this?

Can I use windows XP dbnmpntw.dll in Windows 2000?

My company have a Windows 2000 which have a VB6 application connecting the Windows Server 2003 R2 with SQL Server 2005 Standard. Recently, the Server PC was formatted and same OS and SQL Server were installed. However, the VB6 app that access the Server thru named pipes cannot work after the format. It gave "[DBNMPNTW]Connection broken" errors. So I tried to replace the Server dbnmptw.dll with older version from Windows XP (version is 2000.85.1117.0). Could I use this same dll file in the Windows 2000 workstation? Thank you very much! -- Regards, Pedestrian, Penang. Message posted via WinServerKB.com http://www.winserverkb.com/Uwe/Forums.aspx/w…

Hello, I really hope someone can help me out with the problem I am experiencing with my Windows 2000 Professional. I recently installed the free edition of AVG anti-virus. After updating the virus definitions it scanned my system and found many viruses which it then deleted, moved to the virus vault and cleaned. After re-starting windows it starts up as normal without any error messages or problems but after signing in at the logon screen it says "windows is starting" and then, after a few seconds, instead of starting, the message changes to "windows is saving your settings" and then it takes me back to the login screen as if I have logged off! …

Animated gifs died

Hi, Animated gifs have stopped working on the web pages I visit. I've tried three different browsers, Internet Explorer, Mozilla as well as Netscape, all the same, won't run gif animations. I can run them using an animation program like Gif Construction Set though. I went into my control panel/Internet Options and switched off play animations, rebooted then switched them back on and rebooted again, no luck yet. I haven't loaded any new programs in a very long time. Thanks! ---==X={}=X==---

Still unable to connect to XP
by Guest Ian D Samson- 6 replies

My main computer is running Windows 2000 Pro SP4. My standby/new machine runs XP Home. While I can see the computer in the list of computers, I cannot connect to it because it says it is unable to connect to the workgroup 'home' - the name I have given the workgroup on both machines. Both machines are connected via 100Mbps Ethernet Cat5 cable to a router, the router is connected to the internet via ADSL line. I have set up each Drive C for sharing and set the correct permissions, but when I type \\<pc name> on my machine, I get an error, and when I type \\<mymachinename> on the other PC, I also get an error. Is there something inherently wrong with tr…

We have a Windows 2003 Active Directory domain. Users login with a domain account. Several of our workstations (Windows 2000 Pro SP 4 and some Windows XP Pro SP2)are logging in to find that their profiles settings are missing. We do not use roaming profiles. On investigation, I find that under the C:\<system folder\documents and settings\, a new folder is created with the name username.domain (i.e., johnsmith.abc.com). The original "username" folder still exists. I can correct the problem, and I had done that repeatedly. However, I would like to see if there are any suggestions on preventing the loss of the profile in the first place. We have ha…
