    Registry Location

    Thanks for all your answers, I appreciate the help. Thanks, Techy69, but I already have MagicJelly Bean, and knew it wouldn't work in this situation, and thanks Wolluf for the info on the hives. I forgot all about that, it's been so long since I've had any sort of WinNT/2k/XP training. I'll give...

    Registry Location

    Howdy All, Alright, here is the situation. I do independent tech work, and one of my clients is a small parochial school. They recently recieved a load of computers donated by Motorola. They all run Win2k, and have a pretty hefty password for login. The school would rather keep the OS as 2000...

    Changing Color Channels or subbing in colors

    Hey everybody, We're doing a pretty complicated 2 color job here, with lots of half-tones and line-art. We'll be doing the job with color seperations, using only the black and magenta plate. However, once we ship it to the printer, these plates will be different colors. The Magenta plate is...

    Flash alternative?

    Well, There is always the more simple Flash style programs, names escape me currently, but I know Coffee Cup software makes one. However, these programs still do export in the .swf format, which would call for the Flash player. The only other way that I know of getting around the .swf...

    Windows 2000 and Disk Configuration

    Hey everybody, I currently have a Dell machine running Win2K (upgraded from NT) and I need to do a clean install. Problem is that I have a two hard-drive stripe set, and Windows2000 doesn't seem to have the full range of ability in it's disk manager that it used to have. That is, I can't...

    ERROR DELETING FILE!

    Lisa, Try accessing the folder from a DOS menu (Start-Run-"CMD"), perching one directory back, and then using the DEL YOURFOLDERNAME . That should take care of it. Hope that helps. Which folder is it, incidentally...? Doc

    Reinstalling W2K

    Hey all, Well, we have a machine running Win2K (upgrade from NT) and we have several programs that are having problems due to the fact that it is not an OEM installation. My question then becomes, is there anyway that I can install the OEM version over the upgrade version to prevent having...

    Printer Sharing

    Hello all, I'm running a WinNT(SP5) box, and attempting to share a printer that is connected to a Win2K(SP2) box. The printer in question is a Epson ColorStylus 600. I know it can be shared, because I had it running properly earlier this year, but a horrible systems problem wiped out the...

    Setting print area?

    Greetings all, Is there any way to set an area for the printer? For example, I don't want the navigation bar on the side of my website to print out, but I still would like to keep it on the side... Any thoughts? Thanks Doc

    Actions

    Thank you for your suggestion, however, I was aware of the stop action that could be inserted. However, I'm still looking for a way to automate it to be a no-thought process. Several people will be using it when I'm not around to troubleshoot problems, so I would like to make it as brainless as...

    Actions

    Hey all, I most recently got involved with Photoshop and Image Ready actions, in order to automate some highly tedious jobs. It's all well and good, but it doesn't seem to have the ability to run certain functions inside the actions, and I was wondering if there is a way to edit it...

    OS Selector

    Upon messing with the drivers for my SCSI adapter, I was required to place the WINNT CD in the drive and go through that mess. Well, that was done, but now, on my OS selector at start-up, WINNT Installation/Repair is present, always selected first, and only gives me 5 seconds to make a choice...

    BSOD - UNEXPECTED_KERNAL...BLAH BLAH...

    Well, the first thing I would reccommend would be to try to patch it with the most recent Service Pack, which I believe is SP2. Doc

    Win2k and Outlook Express

    I have Win2k running Outlook Express. As it stands right now, I am running out of space on my C: drive, and noticed that I had 80 Mb in a file simply called sent, located in both c:\winnt\profiles\administrator\application data\mozilla\users50\default\ri9t3fl.slt\mail\mail.mc.net and...

    Serious Explorer problem

    Actually, being in safe mode doesnt help. It does it anyway. This makes it frustratingly hard to find anything, although programs can be run through a command prompt, or a renamed version of explorer, which doesn't crash for some reason, nor does it operate the desktop. I can't even get to my...

    Serious Explorer problem

    When we boot our machine up, Dr Watson reutrns an error in Explorer.exe and shuts it down. Windows boots it back up immediatly, causing Dr Watson to shut it down again, and starting a vicous cycle that can only be stoped by shutting down Explorer before Dr Watson can get to it. Previously...

    permissions

    You could always set permissions based on the user, instead of the file. For instance, you could give one user full access, while giving everyone else only read-permission. This type of restriction can be found under the Users and Passwords panel inside the Control Panel. Doc

    Fatal Error involving Diskperf.sys

    I get a BOD (Bluescreen Of Death) from Windows 2000, and it points to Diskperf.sys as being the problem, recommending that I disable it. I have tried renaming both copies of diskperf.sys that exist on this machine, but Windows gripes, and says they are system files which are needed. How do I...
