I have XP Version 5.1 Service Pack2 OS, Nortons Anti-Virus, and serveral programs installed. Most of the Media Center Games and programs have been uninstalled. It seems to take much too long for the PC to boot up, and when it boots, after a few moments, the screen turns black and then resumes for a few seconds before it's completly booted. What services are esential for the PC to run properly in the Start MSconfig-Services. I tried stopping on several and then the Nortons stopped working. I restarted them. What other services can I stop? Is there a link that explains what each service does? Thanks -- milkman

I have windows server 2003 x64 running in 2 servers that have the same configuration and are a part of a custer from Oracle (RAC). Some times one of servers crashes with the message: "The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x00000109 (0xa3a03a389148f4f0, 0x0000000000000000, 0xd89a905d7b98fd53, 0x0000000000000101). A dump was saved in: C:\WINDOWS\MEMORY.DMP." This situation happens most of the times in node 2 but once in a while it happens in node 1. Can anyone help me?

I have a SBS network with XP clients. One of these clients has suddenly stopped responding to Remote Desktop. That is, i can remote desktop out from this client, but can't remote desktop to it from other clients or the sbs server. Furthermore, while i can access all normal network services from the desktop, i can't access the desktop's C$ share remotely. From that client i can telnet to the localhost port 3389 and it sits there (conenction is opened). Remotely the connection is just timing out. When i disable the Windows firewall, it has no effect. I've also turned on logging on the firewall, and i can't see any dropped connections when it is ac…

Hi, We have a couple of remote offices, and the users have notebooks and connect to the main office via TS. Our TS server has a mapped drive to a disk that is backed up nightly to tape and users are encouraged to store documents there for backup purposes, and work on those files via a TS connection. However, these are mobile users, who don't always have internet access and have to store those files locally on the notebook, and therefore have no way to then "copy" them to the TS mapped drive. What are my possible workarounds to this if any? Thanks, Mike

have 2 x 500GB Hard Drives partitioned into 4 drives. Restarted machine and lost all drives, except for the c drive. Disk Manager only allows for partition deletion, not re-assigning. Does any one know how to get back.

This weekend I installed Windows server 2003 on a clean machine with no other data on the drives. After the installation I turned on the external firewire drive I plan to use for backups and allowed the drivers to install normally. Over the last few days I've had some problems with the external drive and my backup software and went to format the drive to try to start over. It was at this point that I noticed under the Disk Manager that while my internal C: is listed as (Boot), the external E: is shown as (System). Well no wonder I can't format it... How did my external drive wind up as the system volume, and how can I move this back to C: where it belong…

I'm setting up a notebook and trying to set-up "offline files." I have enabled Offline Files in the Folder Options and checked all the boxes. According to all the manuals, the next step would be to select the desired directory and choose "Make Available Offline" or something to this extent from the File Menu. This option is not availbe. I've tried selecting the entire network share/drive, a folder on the share, and a file on the share. Nothing. Any ideas?

If any of you gave up on this due to verification failure of the resulting image file, lemme know. I may have solution. Dave

I had taken my computer to the shop because it kept rebooting every few minutes and when I got it back I noticed the system restore had been turned off. I finally got it turned back on and am having problems with the computer rebooting often. Does system restoe have anything to do with the rebooting?? Thanks

A user had a 20GB hard drive that was being max'd out. I added a 120 GB hdd and transferred a few folders to the new drive (now E:) Ther is still loads of space on the new hard disk. I tried creating a 2nd paging file on the new hdd (E:) in addition to the one on C: According to Microsoft, the system should use the paging file on the less frequently used drive - E: in this case. When I use MSINFO32, it lists the paging file as c:\pagefile.sys. Not referencing E: Would MSINFO32 show the currently used page file or would it always show c:\pagefile. I should add that the c: pagefile has a custom set size range for the pagefile but the one on …

A blind friend of mine has a new computer with Win XP. He continues to use JUNO for e-mail. A few days ago JUNO reported the availability of new dialup numbers. I helped him choose the several local numbers (including the one he had been using) and correct dialing directions. We then clicked "Get New Mail". The computer connected to JUNO and appeared to download messages -- but very very slowly. After about 10 minutes the screen reached 100%. I closed that screen and was presented with another that reported -- Messages: 0 messages sent, 0 messages received Status: Mail transmission has been cancelled My friend and I are mystified and frustrated. Does any…
