  1. Quote: Check out http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;831426&Product=winxp I know you said it's not actually running, but there may be a reg key messed up there. Good luck! I appreciate the response but there was no "BootExecute" in the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager" reg. key.
  2. DISKEEPER 8.0 PRO won't defrag my C: cuz it states that CHKDSK is scheduled to run upon next reboot. I reboot & nothing happens. I run a read-only CHKDSK and no errors are found. I can't run a CHDSK /F or NORTON DISKDOCTOR [fix errors] without having to reboot. Nonetheless, no errors are found. NORTON SPEEDISK will work though. I even tried SAFEMODE and DIAGNOSTIC START-UP mode to do something but still.... same ol', same ol'. Any ideas to get it running?

    [XP or 2K3]: O&O defrag or..

    Quote: Actually, it wasnt' much of a "debate". We barely got started before you stopped participating. You had made a claim that PD didn't stand up to DK. I had asked you to elaborate and you never responded. If you would like to continue our "debate", it's your turn - Greg/Raxco Software Microsoft MVP - Windows Storage Management/File System Disclaimer: I work for Raxco Software, the maker of PerfectDisk - a commercial defrag utility, as a systems engineer in the support department. Get a life dawg. Sell your ish elsewhere. Whatever you want ish to stand for, knock yourself out... literally. I ain't in to 'internet' beef - 'nuff said.

    (hopefully) easy IE question (regarding downloads)

    I figured it out. Within WINDOWS EXPLORER, go to TOOLS > FOLDER OPTIONS > FILE TYPES. Look for the "ZIP" file settings. Click on ADVANCED. Make sure your settings show this: a tick marked "CONFRIM OPEN AFTER DOWNLOAD". Now click on EDIT. Make sure 'action' says "OPEN". Application used to perform action can be whatever you use to open up ZIP files. a tick marked "USe DDE". That's basically it.

    [XP or 2K3]: O&O defrag or..

    Quote: Under XP Pro (or XP 2K3) which is the least problematic defrag tool OTHER than the native service. I currently use O&O defrag. I especially enjoy the stealth mode defrag. (defrag while playing intensive video games or the like) what do you use and why? TIA I use DISKEEPER. I used O&O but, IMHO, DISKEEPER was faster. The background (i guess stealth mode) defragging kicks @$$. I use DISKEEPER SERVER ENTERPRISE EDITION for my WIN2K3 computer and DISKEEPER PROFESSIONAL for my WINXP-PRO computer. I had this debate with a PERFECT DISK (Raxco Software) employee here and he got pretty "hyper". I'm just a consumer who *does* try different programs before he opens his mouth. Here's the thread, it's hilarious: http://ntcompatible.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=23180&highlight=

    Quote: Try using system restore. I had this problem too last week. Try restore to the point before it started doing that. I think a windows update may have caused the issue Too bad I have "System Restore" off. Dang.

    Quote: Go to Tools >internet Options>Advanced and click restore defaults Well gawdayam. The funny thing is that I *swear* that I tried that. That's why I came asking for help. Nonetheless, I did it again. And, hey, it worked. Bottom line. Thanks, homie.

    (hopefully) easy IE question (regarding downloads)

    Quote: Can you right click and click "save as" the pick a directory? I can if the link is direct. If I try to do it on a link that re-directs me, I'll end up downloading some kind of HTML document, for instance. (i.e. javascripts)
  11. Man, I *hate* when something minor happens and I can't figure it out. But, thank goodness for the NTCOMPATIBLE forums. I was downloading, using IE and I *know* I clicked something by mistake (happy left-finger clicker). Now, when I try to download other things, it automatically downloads to a temp folder. I don't have the option to choose where I want the download to go. How the heck do I change it back?!?!?! Come on peeps, don't fail me now.... like my brain already did.
  12. Quote: There are different default settings for the services in Win2k3 depending on the server edition (Standard, Enterprise,Datacenter, Web), but maybe this link can provide the information you want: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtec...lt_settings.asp Though I would probably go for service guide made for WinXP like this one: http://www.blkviper.com/WinXP/servicecfg.htm Awesome advice. Looks like I'll be busy this weekend but, nonetheless, it sure seems informative. I appreciate it!
  13. Anyone got a XP / SERVER 2K3 "services" comparison guide? I like the fact that 2K3 is SLIMMED down but, I *need* the compatibility of XP. In short, I'd like to uninstall and/or stop services from running in XP that don't run in 2K3. Anybody got a list? I don't have time to compare both XP and 2K3 on my own. Thanks a bunch.

    Changing System Properties

    Quote: I have just tried using OEMINFO.INI and OEMINFO.BMP (In Win2k though) and they work fine when placed in %Windir%\System and also in %Windir%\System32 I'm glad you figured it out.

    INTEL ACTIVE MONITOR & WIN2K3

    Quote: Quote: Contact intel for a verison that supports windows 2003. Done. Waiting for a reply. Thanks. Thank you for contacting Intel® Technical Support. Unfortunately, Microsoft* Windows* Server 2003 is not supported on the Intel® Desktop Boards. The reason why you are experiencing problems with the SMBus driver installing the Intel® Active Monitor, as well as the Intel® Application Accelerator on your Intel® Desktop Board D815E(P)FV is because the operating system support of this Intel® Motherboard is restricted up to Windows* XP. Unfortunately, none of the Intel® Desktop Boards is designed to support any server-based operating systems, either.
