    Svchost.exe error, not worm-related

    Right as my laptop boots to Windows 2000, I receive a "svchost.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows. You will need to restart the program." error message. I click OK and continue as normal. The laptop works great after this, and I don't see any symptoms common with the...

    Query to return specific values

    This is probably a REALLY simple problem, but I'm pretty rusty on SQL. I'm trying to work on someone else's db. This query is used in a report to display students in a specific Session. Sessions can be numbers, 1, 2, 3... but the field type is set to TEXT. Here's the SELECT statement...

    IE6 takes minutes to load per page if it loads at all

    Well, I think my problem is resolved. A friend suggested that Win2K has problems determining network speed, and that I change the adapter from "Auto" or "Hardware Default" (which it was set to) to the correct speed. I changed the Media Type setting to 10BaseT and rebooted (with the network...

    IE6 takes minutes to load per page if it loads at all

    1. Does it boot noticably faster with the cable unplugged? No noticeable difference. 2. How old are your 3Com 3C918 Integrated Fast Ethernet drivers? If there is an adapter bonding feature, is this disabled? Drivers are dated 8/16/2002 (version 5.0.2195.6601). I searched for updated drivers...

    IE6 takes minutes to load per page if it loads at all

    I reset the time and ran the tests. Unfortunately, and thankfully, this didn't fix the problem. Also, I tried modifying the test a bit. Instead of rebooting w/cable unplugged, I released the IP addresses, unplugged the cable, waited a bit, plugged the cable back in and renewed, and this DID...

    IE6 takes minutes to load per page if it loads at all

    I ran the Browser Tune (1 & 2), and nothing significant turned up except fluctuating cable speeds. I compared ipconfigs between the non-working configuration and the working configuration--they are identical. The only thing I can see worth mentioning is that the clock is set 12 hours off...

    IE6 takes minutes to load per page if it loads at all

    UPDATE: After much playing around, I've discovered that if I disconnect the network cable and reboot with the cable still disconnected, when I log in and then plug the cable back in, I can connect to the Internet without error 100% of the time. Anyone have any ideas why this occurs? Perhaps...

    IE6 takes minutes to load per page if it loads at all

    Hi All, I've searched about the last 12 pages of related topics, and still no luck... Running W2K SP4 on a Gateway E-3200 PIII 550, 384MB. IE 6.0.2800.1106CO. When I connect to the Internet, I see "Downloading <page>", and 1 of 3 things happens: 1) It takes 3 to 5 minutes for the page (and each...

    Accessibility Wizard runs whenever I start my PC

    Hey Mr. Fixit, I stopped the Accessibility Wizard from running by unchecking it from Disk Cleanup, as you suggested. I'm still not quite sure why it was starting at bootup, but at least the problem is stopped. Thanks for your help!

    Accessibility Wizard runs whenever I start my PC

    I checked the Accessibility menu, and there's no Utility Manager. There were only 3 options (unfortunately I can't recall what they were), but no way of disabling the AW on startup. Any other suggestions?

    Accessibility Wizard runs whenever I start my PC

    Thanks mrfixit, I'll check out the Accessibility Utility Mgr. tomorrow (I don't have the PC in front of me). I have already verified that no Accessibility features are selected to run on startup from inside the Startup tab of MSCONFIG. I'll reply as to whether or not this works.

    Accessibility Wizard runs whenever I start my PC

    Here's a strange (and possibly stupid) question. I have a PC running Windows ME that runs the Accessibility Wizard whenever the PC starts. I've checked all Startup folders and MSCONFIG, and also checked Accessibility Options in the Control Panel for a way to turn this off. Even if I walk...
