I've been working a cluster of two Windows 2003 Enterprise SP2 systems, which run SQL Server and are also domain controllers for a local domain (it's an hosted environment, so only two servers could be fitted there). The two servers have each 18 GB of memory, but run the x86 Windows version. The /PAE switch is enabled on those systems, in order to take advantage of all that memory; today, we tried enabling the /3GB switch too, to give SQL Server some extra memory... but then the systems started behaving erratically, taking hours (literally!) to start up, even more time to log on, showing plenty of errors in the event log about almost everything crashing…

I am installing a Windows 2003 std server on a dell 2950 system. Brand New from Dell, and I am using their software to load. Everything went fine with the install and the software loaded without incident. I patched the system fully with MS patches. Everything was great until I went to configure the server for AD as a member server on a domain with 2003 std (R1). First thing that happend is this release is R2 and the other releases on the other two servers are R1 release that is fully patched. The first thing it errored out was I got a message stating that the Schema wasn't compatable between the this version R2 and the other R1 and that I had to run…

Hi, Is it possible to specify a user-defined usable area of the XP (SP3) desktop where shortcuts, files etc. will be placed and where the rest of the desktop area that s not user-defined is off limits and is not recognised by the system as usable and therefore is kept clear of any icons or files. Thanks for any info!

I have win98 original. I re installed. How do I update to the last update MS had? Is there an all in one service pack?

In the Event log I see this error The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x000000c2 (0x00000007, 0x0000121a, 0xf56d3867, 0xc0000120). A dump was saved in: C:\WINDOWS\MEMORY.DMP. Attached is a debug from the memory.dmp file everything is pointing to the fact that the ntkrpamp.exe is the problem and I have read that it may be faulty memory or there may be a hot fix for dropped packets none the less the server reboots and will run fine for 4 or 5 days then it will re-boot with the same error. I would like to find out what is causing the error so that I can get it fixed. This is a 2003 R2 Enterprise sp2 server fully patched and runn…

Running XP Pro and have been using Nero for a while, but recently, it seems to have issues and it has always been more complicated than my needs dictate. I know you can burn to DVD and CD from within the OS, but I do not really like that approach. Therefore I was hoping some of you could let me/us know what you use to burn to DVD's and CD's with? Whether it be freeware or low cost is fine. Just trying to see what others use that is reliable, easy to use, and gets the job done without a bunch of buttons or confusion and without errors. Thanks for the input!

I have a situation. I have both MS Internet Explorer and Firefox active on my XP SP2 machine. I have Firefox set as the default browser because I prefer Firefox. I want to execute Verizon's speed test at (http://www2.verizon.net/micro/speedtest/java/ and it appears that it will not run under Firefox, but will under IE. I have a desktop shortcut created to do the test, but it wants to use Firefox because it is the default browser. How do I permanently make this shortcut and only this shortcut use IE? Thanks -GECKO

I have WinXPsp3 and just downloaded/installed IE 7. I notice when I open IE 7 and my (google) homepage shows, I can then go to Tools and Windows update to check for any critical updates. However, after I have checked and downloaded the updates, I click the back (blue)arrow (uppoer left corner of screen) and expect to be allowed to go back to my Google homepage. However, I can't get back to my google homepage. I have to close the Windows update page and then open IE 7 again so I can get my google homepage. If I go to other sites while using google (in IE7), I can always click the back arrow and be returned to the google page. Why am I not allowed to do it …

About a year ago I had a laptop supplied by my employer where I among my work stuff had a lot of private documents, pictures, etc. I used Nero burning program and burnt all the files from the path "C:\Documents and Settings\Peter\”My documents” and "Desktop” and “Favorites” to a DVD Now I checked the burned DVD to ensure that the files had been copied and working. It was possible to open the files on the same computer. Today – a year later - I need to use some of the documents in “My documents” and tried to open them with their associated programs - Word, Excel, Acrobat Reader, etc. - and all I get is an error message saying that the files are dama…
