when i try to defrag my d: it says 'Engine Connection lost' but i can defragment all my other partitions. hd1 : c:\ and d:\ hd2 : g:\ and f:\ all defragment fine except d:\ any ideas ?

i prefer zoomplayer, even though it takes some configuring, mainly because its very stable, and has more options than you can shake a stick at.

hellu, im looking for a shell/shellenhancement for win2k that´ll either let me replace or add functionality to the win2k shell in the following way : id like (just like in linux) the ability to rightclick on my desktop and choose my programs from there, ie you get a menu just like the startmenu only its not fixed to one spot (thx a lot for that one ms ;-) plz dont tell me bout other shells like litestep etc that dont do the trick according to my specs thx in advance / nagual

and why would disabling apci let your cpu be cooler? id like to see that

try turning on dma instead of pio, through devicemanager -> ide channels

i had som damage to the disk, i did a chkntfs and a chkdsk and it worked out fine

hm, since ive been hacking/tweaking my machine as much as i could, and im also curious as how to my machine compares to others id like to compare q3 fps in timedemo four.dm_66 in q3 1.30. ive got 310 fps, and about 390 when i disable my fortissimo 2 in devicemanager. i use 800x600 in 16 bit color, with a lot of tweaks in my config.

i would really need a program that records regentries made by programs during their install, much like the older versions of cleansweap, and adds all those regentries to a file. thx in advance

lol

first, messing with your mbr cannot delete everything on the harddisk(s). second, you can prolly fix this by booting your win2k cd, choosing repair, choosing which installation, and going to the recovery console where you type 'fixboot' and 'fixmbr', that could do the trick for ya. btw, find it unclear whether you can boot the system as a whole or not, and av does take some recources, especially if you scan the master boot record.

if nonstock is good enough for ya, you might want to try and check out pstools @ www.sysinternals.com which includes psshutdown (can also reboot)

ok, i have an asus cusl2 w. 700@970 (fsb around 140) and win2k sp2 dx 8.0a, with a gf2 gts (creative) w. 6.31 drivers. this problem started when i started turning som services off, now, whenever i use my isdn to dialup a conenction tskmgr says that services takes 100% cpu, and it takes about 45 seconds for it to connect, which, needless to say, is quite annoying. i have tried to put on all services back the way they where from the start, without success. i was wondering 1.) could anyone post a list on all services that are set to 'automatic' on a default win2k install, or 2.) any idea on what this prob could be all about? it started before i installed sp2. thx in advance

actually, i know what it was now :-) i had a LOT of entrys in my hosts file to point adservers towards localhost, and when accessing it, it took 100% cpu (while dialing) but thx anyway for the help :-)

ive got this idea in my head that i heard that sp6 and exchange for nt4 arent very good friends, any ideas on this one ?

thx

is there any problems to update nt4 to sp6 (its sp5 now) when running an exchange on that nt4server ? id also like to update exchange to the latest sp/hotfixes, any tips anyone ?

pagedefrag.exe @ sysinternals.com its freeware, and you can set it to defrag page + reg @ boot

you can schedule a batch ?

10.1.*.* is a black/nated ip, its not available from the internet. now i may be missing something here (hungover like hell) but if your friends cannot connect to that ip from intenret theres the answer

ever thought of trying at /? ? =) The AT command schedules commands and programs to run on a computer at a specified time and date. The Schedule service must be running to use the AT command. AT [\\computername] [ [id] [/DELETE] | /DELETE [/YES]] AT [\\computername] time [/iNTERACTIVE] [ /EVERY:date[,...] | /NEXT:date[,...]] "command" \\computername Specifies a remote computer. Commands are scheduled on the local computer if this parameter is omitted. id Is an identification number assigned to a scheduled command. /delete Cancels a scheduled command. If id is omitted, all the scheduled commands on the computer are canceled. /yes Used with cancel all jobs command when no further confirmation is desired. time Specifies the time when command is to run. /interactive Allows the job to interact with the desktop of the user who is logged on at the time the job runs. /every:date[,...] Runs the command on each specified day(s) of the week or month. If date is omitted, the current day of the month is assumed. /next:date[,...] Runs the specified command on the next occurrence of the day (for example, next Thursday). If date is omitted, the current day of the month is assumed. "command" Is the Windows NT command, or batch program to be run.

i never use anything from norton, i think the company makes bad software. mcafee has always seemed nice, but it doesnt sound like its trustworthy and since datafellows alway have been a very stable company with good software id go w. f-secure, which is da b0mb :-)

i feel that this is a pretty stable config win2k pro = workstation database server = solaris firewall or sites that need to be secure = openbsd servers where speed is more of an issue than security (ie webservers and so on)= freebsd internal mail, dns, fileserver, pdc = linux (debian prefered)

hmm seems like you covered most bases there, nice work :-) first id like to suggest switching games to q3 :-) ut is very sensible to ram paging faults, i had mine overclocked and it failed. now you say you havent oc`d but maybe your ram doesnt feel well anyway?
