    Dual Boot Win 2000pro & Win Me problem

    Thats not a bad suggestion, although in this particular case I think he is experiencing a known issue with ATA 66/100 systems with 2000. Thus the thread reference, but I am interested in System Commander, does it recognize OSes when it's installed or do you have to install the OSes in a...

    Installing 98 "AFTER" W2k... Possible?

    Good post Kevin. But do you need to make a ERD first, before you can do a successful repair? Just thought I'd throw that out, in case mowerman hasn't made one yet. That could be bad to load 98 then try a repair and DOH! Repair disk? What repair disk? Also, I played around with Boot Magic a few...

    spoolsv spikes to 100% when right-clicking desktop

    Hmmmm thats really interesting, we are all apparently experiencing the same things. Certainly this has been discussed somewhere else on the web, but I sure haven't seen anyone else talking about it. Maybe cuz it really hard to nail down or reproduce consistently. Anyway, what kinda network are...

    spoolsv spikes to 100% when right-clicking desktop

    I emailed this to a buddy of mine and here was his reply: Hey listen up. Spoolsrv is kinda broke in my opnion. We have several machines that will not run Matrox g450 or Nvidia Geforce2 cards with WIN 2k without causing a huge memory leak related to Spoolsrv. It will just eat all your ram as you...

    2k Forgotten Password

    There may be some kind of cracker way to break in, but it would probably be easier to reinstall Windows. If you have made an ERD you could try a repair. If you choose to reinstall, you will need to reinstall all of your apps after you get Windows up, but at least you can get to any data that you...

    Installing 98 "AFTER" W2k... Possible?

    Yeah thats a good way to do it. Unfortunately I'm bad at finagling my boot sector, so I opted to format and repartition my 30 Gig HDD like this. - Created a 5 Gig Fat32 C: partition - Created a 5 Gig Fat32 D: partition - Created a 15 Gig Fat32 E: partition - Left 5 Gig leftover for Linux. -...

    spoolsv spikes to 100% when right-clicking desktop

    Yes, For a couple of months now I been noticing that when I right-click the desktop on my system running Win2K SP2 the pop-up menu takes about a second or two to pop-up. It's been really nagging me. Finally I have time to investigate it. So I open Taskman and lo and behold when I right-click, I...
