    Error Defragmenting Hard Drive

    "Cannot open INSTALL.LOG file"?

    You probably used a file cleaning program somewhere back in time and delete the install.log files for those two programs. Now the unistaller needs them to remember what files it placed out and where. Try reinstalling the programs in question ... then uninstall them. Boot as necessary when...

    WHY DON'T i HAVE A BOOT.INI FILE?

    Assuming you named your root folder something other than WINNT this time around Yes you may delete that folder. From advanced recovery under manager in Win2K you can set it to boot to the desired OS with a 1 second deley. Start-Up and Recovery section I believe. The boot can be fixed to...

    Admin vs User Profile

    Do you mean your office policy? I am confussed. Once you create an additional guest account you can name it and password it any way you want. You can even name it "Administration" or something like that.

    Admin vs User Profile

    I do not have that problem, so I can not say either way. I know there is a check box that allows seperate settings for everyone (in essence) when you are setting up the user. What I told you to do in the first place is use a "guest account" then ADD what you want ... that way you are...

    Closed windows slowly disappear from top to bottom

    " probably only 20-30 megs left on the hard drive " That has a lot to do with it as well. There is NO space left for paging. I like to have 3 or 4 hundred meg free so Windows can "breath" If Windows uses 10 percent of your free space, you are only able to manipulate 2 or...

    Deleting is slow in Win2K

    Doug, And I thought I'd at least get some sort of jealous remark out of you such as KMA for me being able to delete 104 Meg in under 7 seconds ... he he! Your solution is a GRAND ONE! For the future: 2B or not 2B To Be Or Not To Be 4ever Forever A/S/L Age/Sex/Location AFAIC As Far As...

    Closed windows slowly disappear from top to bottom

    Does it do it when you have ONLY one window open, then close it? I will venture to say your memory on your video card might be going or something to that effect. And perhaps a defrag of your hard drive might be in order ... do you have space left on there?

    Workstation missing from workgroup

    My guess ... LOL ... since it is a add-on to the system net, you have not given access to the others from the other terminals even though you gave access from the server (by default). When you set them all up at one time this information has to be changed if you do not want to give access to...

    copying files from hard drive

    Brett is right ... W2K can access the old stuff easily, even if you take out the drive, and install the new raw drive then later add the old drive on the IDE to retrieve the data desired. What I would do myself ... use the old OS to copy all files to where you can get to them easily, say a MY...

    Upgrade 98 to Win 2000 pro on HP, nothing but problems

    You need to go to HP site and read the ISSUES HP has before EVER upgrading any OS ... BUT A clean Install is the ticket like the others are saying ... first get the drivers you need anytime you EVER upgrade. With W2K Pro you should have gotten the small program from Windows that checks ALL...

    Can't delete 2 files

    To get to SAFE MODE most the time you hit F8 over and over when your system is about to start Windows, and you can then choose Safe Mode (choice 3) ... if you do not get there the first try, try several times, it is sometimes F5, or F1 or Delete combination ... TELL us your computers...

    Inside Win2K NTFS, Part 1 New features improve efficiency, optimize disk utilization, and enable developers to add functionality By Mark Russinovich TFS, the native file-system format for Windows 2000, has continuously evolved since its release with Windows NT 3.1. Although NTFS's original...

    Deleting is slow in Win2K

    OK ... I believe it might be the NTFS filing system recalibrating itself with every delete. If you like playing around try this now ... create another partition from the 40 G to about a 4 G as your second partition, and make it FAT32. Then try a deletion time check from that partition...
