Need to re-boot if router not powered at start
by Guest nesredep egrob- 1 reply
- 263 views
Very occasionally I am too late powering the router and cannot find a way of "Preparing Network Connections" after the computer has started up. I find that the network show that 29 packets have been sent and 25 received but it is no use waiting for the email or trying to get results from Firefox. The error message is "Network is down or DNS failed". Is there a command which can be typed in which will allow the computer to connect without having to re-boot, please.

Install webcam without admin rights?
by Guest Michel Morel- 0 replies
- 253 views
I want to deploy a webcam driver that my users can install with a standard account, not admin. How could I do that? We still use Win2000 on desktops with Win2003 servers. An open thought : I discovered that Windows installs a device without admin rights and further asking if... the device driver is properly signed and of compatible rank match with another installed device. E.g. if you plug a new USB webcam and a USB webcam is already installed using the same driver and of compatible rank match, Windows installs it. Could the registry be pre populated with a webcam driver by, say group policy deployment or login script? So that when a user plugs the we…

Always an error being logged by hotfix if installed by Windows Upd
by Guest RJARRRPCGP- 1 reply
- 286 views
I always get this error or similar in hotfix logs: Update.exe extended error code = 0xf201 But, despite the above, Windows Update isn't asking for the same updates over and over again. Also, despite the above, qfecheck don't find any problems. Is qfecheck correct about the hotfixes being installed properly?

An error being logged by hotfix if installed by Windows Update!
by Guest RJARRRPCGP- 0 replies
- 233 views
I get Update.exe extended error code = 0xf200 or Update.exe extended error code = 0xf201 in the hotfix logs, if I don't install them manually! But despite that, Windows Update don't ask for the same updates over and over again, so most people won't know of any problem. Also, qfecheck didn't find any problems, reported all of the updates being current.

Transferring Win2000 to a new computer 1 2
by Guest remove_@no.spam- 26 replies

My new HP computer came with Vista Home Premium. I don't like Vista and I want to install Win2k from my old machine instead. After 6 years I don't know where my win2k installation CD is, but the CD is copied to my old hard disk and I do have my serial number. I used the serial # when I had to reinstall win2k, and when I registered online at microsoft.com to get "automatic updates". I copied i386 from my old machine onto a USB flash drive and tried to install win2k from within Vista. I thought I would dual-boot for a while, but the boot loaders are conflicting and Vista is not allowing win2k to install. So I thought I would boot from floppy, fdisk the new machi…

Can anyone suggest a good program that can clone the OS on another Harddrive? I tried Ghost, but apparently you need the enterprise version to put it on win2000 server, and since I already have Ghost 10, I don't want to spend a whole whack of money for nothing. I know I can do it through xcopy, but it's a bit of a pain. Thx

Hi, We have 3 Win2000 Server SP4 on the network. 2 Members and 1 DC. I sometime have to fix my collegues computer and want to use resources on the network like shares folders and Internet access.

by Guest Tom- 3 replies

Can anyone tell me how and why NTDLL.DLL version 5.0.2195.7006 got installed on my Win2000 AS server? I have searched the DLL Help database at: http://support.microsoft.com/dllhelp/?dlltype=file&l=55&pid=3075&vid=36832&alpha=&S=0 with no luck. I have searched the Microsoft sites with the query: "5.0.2195.7006 AND ntdll.dll", also no luck. I grepped through the .log files in my WINNT directory and discovered that an NTDLL.DLL was installed as part of the "Update Rollup 1 for Windows 2000 SP4", but it doesn't say what version was installed. I walked through the entire list of rollup 1 fixes given in the table at: http://support.mic…

I have a dell Inspiron C600, and I'm almost positive (i checked, and no support, at least with my bios revision) there is no USB boot support. Is there a way to boot the USB CD-ROM drive, without USB CD- ROM support? Is there like a boot floppy (such as, Smart Boot Manager) that would work the same way? I do not have the CD-ROM drive, either, and the computer was manufactured in 2001, so it only has USB 1.1. Any and all help would be appriciated, Code Magician
