Legacy Windows Archive ( Read Only )

I'm trying to download the full setup file for the IE 6.0 from the Microsoft download site, but it won't let me. Any ideas on where else I can get it?

I have a large stamp image collection in ACDSee using the Windows explorer style folder hierarchy. I am wondering if there is a hot key combination to collapse all the open folders under windows explorer? If so, I can try it with ACDSee as well. Ta.

I'd like to create a disk image of my lab server's Windows 2000 Server installation - basically to save me having re-install Windows each time. Is there any disk imaging software available for Windows 2000 SERVER?? I know that norton ghost isnt compatible with win2k Server. thanks in advance.

Strange problem started...whenever I want to use a USB thumbdrive or my USB external harddrive, Windows says found new hardware then the Found New Hardware Wizard appears. I have tried letting it search for the driver and also tried picking some from \system32\drivers as well as the i386 directory. I reloaded my updated for SP2 as well the hotfix for Windows XP 226205 to no avail. My USB mouse still works, seems to be anything drive related. Anyone know whats going on here and how do I get the drivers back? I even removed all the USB related items in device manager, redetected and it loaded everything back but my USB drives still dont work. TIA

I want to upgrade a second computer to xp home. I have the upgrade disk and the Product Key. The first computer (already upgraded) is at my second home in another state, so I don't have access to the Product ID off that first computer (didn't realize it existed, let alone that I would need it). Tried to purchase additional license on Microsoft website, but it asks for the Product ID, not the Product Key. Any way I can buy additional license with the Product Key but without the Product ID? This is a real hassle. -- paper tiger

Hi, I have seen these issues also with WinXP, so maybe someone has a clue... A customer's Server SBS 2003 has these problems (increasing) - CDrom has a bad block (ranging from none to 50+ times). - Error on CDrom during paging operation (about 20 times). (all per CD read attempt). I replaced the NEC DVD+/-RW by a NEW Pioneer DVD+/-RW. Reading CD's causes massive 'Errors during paging operation'. Explorer slows down to a crawl and seems not responding. It takes minutes to (re)draw the explorer window. When ejecting the DVD, the window redraws immediately. Happend with 3 DVD's/CD's. I didn't even dare to burn a DVD. I uninstalled Nero, 'Updated the …

I have an E-machines computer with a 2.70 ghz mother board and a 40 GB Hard Drive it came with 256mb of Ram . A questionable repair man added 512 mb of Generic Ram and the computer kept rebooting, so he replaced it with 512 mb of high performance Ram , will this high performance ram hurt my computer I now have 760 mb of Ram total in my computer. -- charles cannon

Forest: Windows 2003 functional level. I just installed Server 2008 beta 3 on a test server and it is a member of the domain. I would like to make it a DC but am told I would have to run Adprep/Forestprep. Is this safe yet? I know I should use a test environment but we do not have the resources for that. I have 12 DCs and two domains.

I got a new second SATA harddisk and reformat inside Computer Management. However, the type of this new HD is dynamic. What is that mean?

WinXP SP2. Running fine one moment, then started receiving the above error when trying to run programs. Rebooted, and seemed OK up to the user icon screen. Select a user and again appears normal upto the loaded "tune". After a short while hear the "Dong" (problem sound). No user programs load. Can access the Task Manager via CTRL/ALT/DEL, which shows "System" and "Network" processes running. Only taskmgr.exe and explorer.exe show as user processes. Can open Windows Explorer via Start menu or desktop icon and can navigate through all folders and see all files, just cannot execute anything. Tried a google from my other machines and posts abound, but…

I've written a program that I need to run just after logon. It runs from a Windows command line (perl program) via an installed Perl interface that's always there (i.e. .pl programs can be run from anywhere simply by typing their names at the command line). My program doesn't really interface with Windows much except to pop a window indicating an error condition - if it occurs. Then it terminates. I set it up to run out of the start menu under Startup, but that causes it to pop a command window to run. I also tried it from HKCU Run but it has the same effect. I'd like to run it more transparently, with no popped command window or perhaps an automatically mini…

Whenever I try to open an application (ie:acrobat) I get the error message that Microsoft has encountered a problem and needs to close. Been going on for at least a few weeks. I havn't made any changes that I can think of that may have caused this. Anyone have any suggestions? thanks jo
