Hey all I am running XP Pro SP3 2GIG DDR2 800 RAM on a SATA HD (with 20G Free) CPU: Core 2 Duo 2.66 What I am finding is when I double click on a folder, it takes 3-5 seconds for it to open. Even with 0 objects in the folder, same when using the back button or the UP button. Any change in you location using explorer takes a while. The window turns white and then displays the contents, in addtion. Explorer.exe takes about 50% CPU utilization to do this magical trick. I tried re-applying SP3 incase a file was corrupted somehow. I've run anti-virus/spayware scans from Trend-Micro, AVG (which runs all the time) and SUPER Anti-Spyware, with no results…

I have a home LAN with 2 desktops and 2 laptops, all running XP Pro except one, computer J-Desktop, which runs XP Home. They run as a workgroup, HOME, with a router which assigns addresses through DHCP. All run ZoneAlarm configured to allow the network in the Trusted Zone. All computers have all drives shared. All computers see one another and can share files except computer J-Desktop and one of the other computers, K-Desktop. K-Desktop can see and access J-Desktop, but J-Desktop can only see K-desktop, but when access is attempted, the following error message is displayed: <<<<Error Message: \\abc\drive_N(N) is not accessible. You migh…

I installed 3 ShoreTel voicemail servers, each running Windows 2003 Server Appliance Edition. I upgraded each server to SP2, then installed the ShoreTel voicemail server code. Everything was working fine until we added the servers into the domain. I noticed that many of the automatic services no longer started. Assuming that there was a problem with some Group Policy, I dropped the server out of the domain and returned them to their original workgroup. The problem, though, persists. The first sign of a problem is the fact that the COM+ Event System does not start, but gets hung in the "Starting" mode. In the Event Log is the following message: "The COM+ Ev…

I am upgrading an older Win2000 PC by adding an additional IDE new hard disk (250GB) having a active WinXP SP2 partition along with the active Win 2000 IDE partition on existing 80 Gb hard drive.: Hard Drive Configuration: Disk Drive 0: Partition 0 WINXP SP2/NTFS 3.01 file format (250GB) (IDE master) Disk Drive 1: Partition 0 Win2000/ NTFS file format 1.09 (80GB) (IDE slave) When booting into active Win2000 on hard drive 1, the Win2000 OS can recognize hard drive 0 (WinXP) and read files from WinXP drive 0. Win2000 list hard drive C (Win2000) and F (WinXP) as available. When booting into active WinXP SP2 on hard drive 0, the WinXP OS ca…

Hi, We have problems with scheduled tasks failing on windows 2000. A reboot solves this but we cannot get to the bottom of the problem. It's Sp4 and there's no Human Interface Devices service. I've tried making jobs with the AT command, assigning runas service and bath permissions and pretty much worked through a lot of search results. It seems to be about every 7 days it fails. Can anyone shed light on this? There is nothing in event logs (app and system). Task log attached, job names aren't actually xxxxxxxxxx lol. "xxxxxxxxxx.job" (runxxxxx.bat) Started 06/10/2008 23:45:00 "xxxxxxxxx.job" (runxxxxx.bat) Finished 06/10/2008 23:49:14 Result: The tas…

When I try to analyze or defragment my computer files I get the following message: Disk Defragmenter has detected that Chkdsk is scheduled to run on the volume: (C:). Please run chkdsk /f. I don't know what has caused this, because the last time I defraged it worked fine, then this time I get this message. Can someone please advise me how to correct this error and tell me what has happened? Thanks

Hi, lately I'm quite annoyed by the quicklaunch, in fact if I don't open it for long time it takes almost 1 minute to open. Of course avg8 plays its role on it but I wonder if someone had the same problem and was able to relieve it.

I noticed that I have a rather low sound volume on my Dell Computer. I it was better than that in the past. I have to jack up the volume on the speakers to the highest levels to achieve normal sound level which leads to me hearing static and noise. That is true for web videos as well as sound files playback on my computer. I made sure all the volume sliders are at the Max on the Windows Volume Control box (including Wave). I checked the Control Panel- >Sound And Audio Devices Properties. Device volume and Speaker volumes are at High. Sound Playback is set to "SoundMAX Digial Audio" - the only other option is Model Line Playback. I have Dell Dimension 4…
