    keyboard failure

    Thanks for the tip, Andy. I was able to get past the CTRL+ALT+DEL obstacle by using "GoToMyPC". We use this to connect from the road to our office PCs. One of its tools is the ability to send "CTRL+ALT+DEL" to the client machine. Once past this, I d/l new drivers for the keyboard & mouse...

    keyboard failure

    OK here it is... the remote registry hack as well as most of these other machinations is because I can't CTRL+ALT+DEL on that machine. The Recovery Console part is a working method if I can find how to introduce the correct driver. I followed the procedure before & renamed the keyboard driver...

    keyboard failure

    Thanks for the tips. I will probably have to get a USB keyboard since the USB mouse still works. I used the recovery console but there's no difference. I then tried the registry fix but I couldn't use regedit32 only regedit. I then tried to go thru the registry using REGEDIT.EXE but when I...

    NT Server will not network

    Question: Does this machine have a separate NIC along with the stock NIC that Dell installs as part of the system board? If so, there may be a conflict there. Uninstall all NICs & start from scratch. If there is still a "driver not installed" message from the event viewer, you may...

    Domain members dropping after virus attack

    Using Server Manager does not work. The domain membership is unchanged. I have had to go to each machine & remove it from the domain then bring it back in - it then remains in Network Neighborhood for a few hours then disappears. It can be contacted thru Server manager but if I want to map a...

    D/L to drive A: reboots PC!

    I have run Inoculan-IT then Panda Software's online scanner & I cannot find anything wrong. No virus in the floppy nor on my machine. Also, there's the fact that when doing this download on an NT machine, I am able to complete the download with no trouble. Thanks, CC

    D/L to drive A: reboots PC!

    Sorry it took so long to get back - I tried to d/l to the hard drive & both copy & paste and "send to......3.5 floppy drive a:" rebooted the workstation & advanced server. Can it be that the Win2000 is trying to read the file? Thanks, Colinc77

    Media Pools

    Go to Media Pools, - name it (no spaces in the name) then format some tapes with names (Mon,Tues, etc) right-click on the tape name after formatting & assign them to the save set. Give the tape a 5 or 6 day expiration to make them available to the scratch set for re-use. Hope this helps.

    Error W3404 unable to open MSSQL7 open files

    Here's another little note: Arcserve SQL Backup agent needs SQL SP 2 or 3 installed and also requires LO82875 (Arcserve 2000 SP 2) & LO82876 (offers support for backing up SQL with Arcserve 2000). After you do all this stuff, then try incense and tarot cards because Voodoo doesn''t work. X-)
