    Automatic logouts ?

    Yeah - the simple answer is to set a screensaver to come on after 10 minutes, then tick the "On resume, display Welcome screen" check box (on the screensaver tab) - that will do the trick. It doesn't really log you out - it uses the fast user switching, but if you have a password on your account it serves the same purpose.

    What EMAIL program do you use?

    No problem Simply copy the existing Junk Email Rule and amend it, so that the last line will read: and stop processing more rules Make sure that you disable the original junk email rule and then make the new junk email rule the first rule to be applied. Sweevo

    Antivirus program for Windows XP

    Is that just with Windows XP EddiE314? or are you against Symantec software on all versions of Windows? My past experience is that if you have a low spec PC then you'll really notice the speed decrease when you install a lot of the Symantec software (Antivirus, Norton Utilities, Internet Security) but faster machines hardly notice the difference. And given the competition I'd rather stick with Syamntec everytime - they're reliable and Symantec provide excellent support in my experience (although I'm sure there are dozens of people out there who would argue against that one!) I guess at the end of the day it's down to personal preference...

    Antivirus program for Windows XP

    I've been using Norton AntiVirus 2001 on XP RC1 for the last week with no problems, I followed the instructions from Xeons Windows XP Centre at http://winxp.descrypt.com Here's a copy of them: Running Norton programs in Windows XP This fix is only valid on a clean install of Windows XP. First, make sure there is no Norton software on your system. You will also have to get rid of any traces of Norton or Symantec in the registry, program files, and any other places Norton files may be. After you have done this restart your computer and make sure you login to an account with Administrative privileges. Now, here are the steps: 1. Go to the command prompt and run this: "echo blah > %systemroot%\system32\symevent.sys" You won't see any output. All this does is create a dummy file so you can get the sevinst.exe file to upgrade a copy of symevent that isn't really there, and this making Norton install cleanly the first time. 2. Download this file and run it - sevinst.exe 3. Restart your computer. It is very important you restart here. 4. You can now install Norton AntiVirus, Utilities, SystemWorks 2001. This will only work on a system that had no traces of Norton software on it before these steps were applied. This fix does work, if it doesn't work for you, you must be doing something wrong. Note: Any drive utility that worked in Windows 2000 will not work in Windows XP because the NTFS file system is now at version 5.1 which Norton does not support. You'll still get the warning about it not being compatible, but it worked fine for me

    Pcanywhere

    I've been using PcAnywhere 10 for the last couple of weeks with no problems at all. Like previous posts have said - If you install it with Host capability then it will replace the Microsoft GINA (the login screen) with the Windows 2000 version. I've installed in Remote only which means that I can take over screens but I can't put my machine into host mode to have my screen taken over (which is no problem for me as I only use it for dial-in support for work) So to cut a long story short, use remote only install option if you don't want to stuff up the pretty log-in screen

    Maximum columns/rows in Excel

    It depends on which version of Excel but if it's Excel 97 or above then you'll get 65,536 rows and 256 columns per worksheet with a maximum of 255 worksheets in a workbook. If it's an earlier version(e.g. Excel 95) then you'll only get 16,384 rows but the other stats remain unchanged.
  8. Hi I have a Geforce2 GTS made by a little know company called Mentor (you can see the card at this link - http://online.staktrading.com/cgi-bin/stakshop/37017775?cf7inIbL;;288) The card supports S-Video out. When I first installed the card under Windows 2000 Pro(SP2) the card performed perfectly and the Nvidia control panel app told me that the card had a Brooktree encoder onboard. I don't know what has changed, but the encoder line has disappeared from the Nvidia Control Panel app and I can't select my TV from the device selection list. I'm using the 12.41WHQL NVidia reference drivers, although I've tried the original drivers that came on the installation CD and I've also tried various beta drivers (6.whatever and 14.whatever) I've tried removing the card (both physically and within windows), cleaning out the Nvidia files and what registry entries I could find and then doing a reinstall, but nothing I do seems to bring back the encoder. I haven't messed with the BIOS, it's still the original. I've tried using the Nvidia cleaning programs that are floating around on the net, but most aren't written for windows 2k. I can't remember what I did in between the encoder being there and not being there. I've also read www.geforcefaq.com cover to cover and can't find anything in there to help. Can anyone offer any help short of rebuilding my machine (which is obviously my last resort) Thanks Sweevo

    Voodoo3 not a NT compatible?

    Hi ftmiranda try this link: http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail.php3?fid=955610822 I've checked it out and it's still live, so hopefully that will sort out your problem.

    Command line restart?

    There isn't a native command (that I know of!) but the Windows 2000 Resource Kit comes with a shutdown.exe utility to do this. but try http://crv.mp3car.com/shutdown.html which has the same sort of utility for free, but I haven't had chance to test it to see if it's Win2k compatible.

    Outlook 2000 problem...

    I've had this one a few times at work. It's down to user error, what they've probably done is changed the view of the deleted items folder, probably to something like "unread messages" Check that the following seeting is applied: View|Curent View is set to "Messages" - if it is then check that there are no filters applied by going to View|Current View|Customise Current View Obviously make sure that the user has the Deleted Items folder selected when they do this. Let me know how you go on

    Nvmax 2094

    It seems to be a problem with Windows 2000 and the drivers, and it doesn't seem to make a difference which version of the drivers you use. Wolf87 is correct that you need to be using the correct version of the drivers to get the overclocking tab at all - but you obviously already have that. A search around on the net provided me with loads of other people with the same problem as both of us, but no solutions other than "use Powerstrip" If you find a solution then I'd love to know!
