    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?

    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.

    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:

    Man, I *hate* when something minor happens and I can't figure it out.

     

    But, thank goodness for the NTCOMPATIBLE forums. smile

     

    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. laugh

    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:

    Though I would probably go for service guide made for WinXP like this one:

    Awesome advice.

    Looks like I'll be busy this weekend but, nonetheless, it sure seems informative.

    I appreciate it!

    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.

    Check out http://www.xteq.com/products/xset/index.html.

     

    Straight from the website:

     

    Xteq X-Setup is a so-called "hacker" or "tweaker" program. It allows you to change settings that are normally hidden deeply in some configuration-files like the registry fast and easily.

     

    X-Setup offers several advantages, making it the "ultimate tool for black belt system tuning". It's runs on any Windows version (incl. XP), is clutter-free, easy to use, extensible, powerful, covers any aspect of your computer and has more configuration options than any other tweaker. For a complete listing of the features of X-Setup, please see our Features Page.

     

    But not only we think Xteq -Setup is a great utility, please have a look at the X-Setup Awards Page. Or simply read this quote from one of our customers: "X-Setup is to all other "tweakers" like a truckload of bricks is like to a pebble...".

    I tried to install the INTEL ACTIVE MONITOR v1.19 on my Windows 2003 Server computer [intel Desktop Board (D815EFV-D815EPFV)] and kept getting this error message:

     

    "The Intel SM Bus drive could not be installed. This is a required driver. The installation will now abort."

     

    It worked fine in XP.

     

    Any insight would be geatly appeciated.

    MS assumes that anyone using 2k3 Server knows, or should now how to do those things without the use of software Like Norton

    Although they do offer enterprise AV solutions


    I got SAV Corporate Edition but man, I have no time to manually delete dead registry keys and click on each of my partitions for a "Disk Cleanup".

    I hear u tho, dawg.

    Thanks. wink

    Okay...

     

    I reformatted and went back to XP and it still read 96MB instead of the full 128MB.

     

    I reformatted and went back to 2K3 and it still read 96MB. I used the "xbeta" uxtheme.dll auto patch and upon reboot, I got a uxtheme.dll error and couldn't load explorer.exe.

     

    I reformatted once again and installed 2K3 and now it shows the full 128MB.

     

    I have no idea but, heck, it works. I've already installed the Catalyst 3.7 driver and Direct 9.0b.

     

    Just one of those weekends, I guess.

     

    I'd like to thank ALL of you who posted to help and even to those who posted to say, "Hey, runs fine on my system". Seriously, I really needed that or I would've thought it was impossible to get things going right.

     

    Message to sapiens74: Now I can *really* get some work done here @ home and reprogram my RCA on-screen TV guide. Man, Oceanic totally screwed up my analog cable listing line up. I need to know where my Food Network and Sci-Fi channels. laugh Hahaha.

    Check all the subkeys under ATI Technologies, It's in there somewhere


    Only "key names" I could basically find that had ATI Technologies in it were:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ATI Technologies\CBT
    and
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\InstalledOptions\Microsoft Corporation\Video\ATI Technologies Inc.\ATI Radeon

    I couldn't find anything in relations to ATI stating a key with "CDS/Memory".

    Using a Radeon 9600 here with zero problems on my nice win2k3 server machine I've converted to a workstation. All 128 megs of ram are seen and games run perfectly for me.

    Cat's 4 thru 7 work fine. After the initial driver install you need to boot into VGA mode and then turn your hardware acceleration on again for them to work.

    Hope that helps ya out smile


    I booted in to VGA mode, all hardware acceleration (sound & display) are already at FULL. DXdiag still states all choices are still enabled.

    Still having the same problems.
