Win2003 Svr Sp2 "System Process" 100% Cpu during large Msdn Downloads
by Guest charlestek- 1 reply
- 223 views
When I am doing large downloads (Visual Studio 2008 beta for example) from Msdn, the "System" process (NOT System Idle process) consumes near 100% cpu and prevents me from doing anything else on the machine. I tried snooping the System process tree with Wininternals latest Process Explorer, but none of the subtree items that are children of "System" show any high cpu usage. HELP!!

I have posted a problem I have with my main system, the system clock is running an hour behind and if I try and manually adjust the time, it will reset to it's previous time and remain an hour behind. I have tried to sync it with Atomic Clock or the time servers and it will not sync with any of the time servers, and I can not figure why. Please, some one give me some ideas where I'm not looking or what I'm missing...

Start Up Programs

I work on WinXP Pro (80GB HDD, P4 2.8GHz, 512MB RAM, SP2). Whenever I login (using my username & password), I find that XP takes considerable time to proceed & display the desktop. I had a look at the list of processes in the Task Manager without explicitly starting any process/program & found that a few processes, which aren't required at start-up, were listed there. These processes are neither listed in Services under Computer Management (right-click My Computer--->Manage--->Services) nor are they listed in the Startup folder (Start--->Programs--->Startup). Some softwares (like Yahoo! IM, Window Blinds etc.) give users the option to…

Any installshield product causes NTLDR is Missing on sysprep'd PCs
by Guest JPenske- 1 reply
- 136 views
I recently created a multiplatform image, and it works great with anything but installshield products. Any time software that uses installshield is run, it severely fragments the hard drive and I get "NTLDR is missing" on the next reboot. This does not happen if the software is installed prior to sysprep, only after running sysprep. Any ideas? thanks!!!!

XP w/Product key but no COA
by Guest abd08- 2 replies
- 155 views
Hey all, We have a copy of XP Professional Upgrade w/SP2, along with the product key stuck at the back of the card-like booklet it came in. We have thrown out the box. This leaves me with 2 questions: 1. Can I get another COA? - From what I've read, this doesn't sound possible. 2. Can I sell this copy of XP Professional upgrade with just the product key and "proof of license" thing written at the back? Note, it has never been used! Thanks Raj

XP PC Blue Screen After Login
by Guest RandyH- 3 replies
- 293 views
I know this is a server group, however, I need to ask.... We use roaming profiles. When an old server is offline, users get a blue screen (no desktop) after logging in. All the old shares were created on the newer server. This morning, the old server is dead, users can't log in. administrator can log in. I can log the users in here at this location. I disabled roaming profiles on one user, that didn't help. I removed and readded the PC from and to the domain, that didn't help. Any thoughts? TIA

Office 2003 SP2 + Server 2003 + Server 2003 SP2 = Freeze?
by Guest thatotherguy- 0 replies
- 272 views
Hey all, Ive got a Terminal Server running Windows Server 2003 with Office 2003 SP2 running happy as larry, but a couple of months ago, I thought Id throw the SP2 for Server 2003 at it because, you know, Service Packs are supposed to be good things. A couple of days later, the server had it's first ever freeze. All user accounts started locking up (not all at the same time, sort of like dominos falling over) and while the server would still accept incoming RDP connections, it would freeze immediately after login, so we had to restarted the server (which is a pain becuase it's hosted off site). Being it's first ever crash, I didnt think much of it, th…

When I boot up I get a message that the Media Center Receiver Service has encountered a problem and needs to close. I click the error reporting or don't send block, and the message disappears, but returns about 6 seconds later. This cycle just keeps repeating leaving my computer just about useless. Any suggested repair? I see where others have had the same problem, but don't see a fix listed.

Hi, We are running Windows Server 2003 as our print server. I can see the logs as they appear for printing, but there is no way that I know of to export them. Is there a place where they are stored that I can re-arrange the data? Is there a simple tool availible to export them? Ideally, if they could be dumped into Excel that would be great. Thanks in advance, Derrick

Terminal Server Licensing Issue
by Guest DanC- 5 replies
- 360 views
I have setup a new TS for our sales staff and we purchased 15 Per-device Cals. I installed the licenses by first installing a batch of 10 and later adding 5 more. I noticed a few days later that each device that I use to connect to our terminal server using remote desktop takes one available license. I have remoted in personally from 3 machines and each machine took one license leaving me with 12 instead of 15 for our sales staff. I also noticed that our terminal server is taking one of the 15 licenses so that leaves me with 11. I was told that this problem might be caused by remoting into the terminal server with Windows XP but two if the machines that …
