ie7 on windows 2000
Has anyone out there had success making Internet explorer 7 work on
windows 2000? I know Microsoft says it won't work and so far I haven't
been able to make it, but I know there has to be something hidden
probably in the ie setup file that you can change to make it work on 2000.

disabling device per HW profile, but option greyed out !
I need to disable certain devices in a particular HW profile.
In a normal situation this is a no-brainer, Device Manager has a 3-
way scroll-box with options to enable/disable/enable in this HW
profile for each device.
However, that option has been deactivated (is greyed-out, and the
scroll-box non functional) for some of the devices which I want to
disable :=(
The only possibility apparently remaining would be to remove the
device(s) completely from system, which is /not/ what I want !!!
Please tell how to reenable the choice - I assume it's a flag to
reset somewhere in the registration information for the affected
device(s).
Alternately, may I use "devcon" to permanently disable a device from
the current HW profile /only/ ?
Or, could I find and nuke the appropriate bit(s) in the devices' .inf
installer file(s) ?
Please help ! I know what I'm doing disabling these devices, in fact
I have done it previously but, the greyed-out status is new, probably
post device driver updates.
TIA

Best NTFS Cluster Size for boot drive?
My Windows 2000 Pro laptop has a c: partition and a separate D: partition.for data.
I've been searching for a reference on the best cluster size for a Win2K partition, but
can't find anything.
The C: partition is a 12G NTFS partition with a 512 byte cluster size. Would 2K be a
more desirable cluster size for faster performance?

IE6 makes a screeching sound whenever it is opened
I reformatted an older laptop and put the original Windows 2000 back on, but

Performance Log Event ID 1015
Over the past three months I've started to notice that we are getting the
above event ID logged on our Windows 2000 Server. There have only been a
handful of errors but I like to know what everything is and what everything
means in my event logs! I've searched the internet and can only find
something which suggests changing a registry value for the timeout, but I
don't know which registry value.
Wonder if someone could point me in the direction for troubleshooting, or if
indeed I just need to increase this timeout figure, where it is in the
registry?
Detailed event below:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The timeout waiting for the performance data collection function "PerfProc"
in the "C:\WINNT\system32\perfproc.dll" Library to finish has expired. There
may be a problem with this extensible counter or the service it is
collecting data from or the system may have been very busy when this call
was attempted.

lousy dvd read speed
I have TWO windows 2000 machines, an old p4 and a new amd 5600 with
sata. The problem is that the speed reading a dvd on the new machine
is about 3 times longer than the speed reading the same dvd (using the
SAME DVD READER) with the old p4 system. Both systems have dma if
available ticked, and the newer system has sata and the IDE DVD READER
ONLY (no other IDE Devices). The lights on the old machine are
flickering very fast, but, the lights on the new machine drag on. I
searched through control panel/hardware/devices on both systems and I
don't see ANY difference. If I connect an IDE harddrive to the new
machine, and transfer data between the sata and the IDE harddrive, the
speed is lighting fast.
What is causing this new machine to read from the DVD reader so
slowly? I am out of ideas.
I am using SP4 on both machines.

persistent "ghost" USB device?
I made the mistake a few days ago of shutting down my windows 2000 PC
with a USB harddrive still connected and powered up. After the PC
shut down, I disconnected the USB h/d and powered it off.
Now, everytime I boot up the PC, windows 2000 informs me that it
"found new hardware" "USB device", and then "error installing device"
and I get a yellow question mark in the control panel/system/hardware/
device
Now, I tried booting up with the USB h/d connected and powered up, and
it recognizes it OK, but, it still tries to install that darn "ghost"
USB device also and reports the failure.
So how do completely remove whatever it is that is causing windows
2000 to think there is a USB device it needs to install. I am sure it
is a "ghost" device somewhere, because, even when I disconnect ALL usb
devices and boot up, it still tries to install a USB device and fails.
Where is windows 2000 getting this from? How do I fix it?
Thanks. Tag: Bootcfg/fdisk in W2000? Tag: 563896
Diagnosing Blue Screens & Re-boots
Hi Folks;
I have an old Compaq DL380 G2 server that I'm using as my firewall. All it
has on it is
Windows 2000 Advanced Server & ISA Server 2004.
It's worked well for years - never an issue. I manage it remotely via
Terminal Services.
Recently the server has been re-starting itself about once a week or so.
This is done by the server management software (auto recovery). It checks
the machine to ensure it's responding and if it doesn't get a reply for 5
minutes it forces a re-start of the system.
Because this is a rack mount server I'm never in front of it to see it
happen.
In anticipation of it occurring again (it seems to happen once a week) -
what would/should I do to determine what the cause is?
Thanks!

I login (as JohnDoe), it doesn't give me my normal desktop/etc. When I
look in c:\documents and setting, there are two folders. One is
"JohnDoe" (which has all the correct stuff in it), the other is

After update KB944338, ASP server fails
After installing the latest Windows Update, KB944338, my local
development server is no longer functioning.
I am running Personal Web Manager on Windows 2000. I am just a lowly
front-end web developer still doing all my server-side coding in
classic ASP/VBScript. (If it ain't broke...)
Anyway, I've never had a problem before, but after installing the
lastest vbscript.dll-related update, I now get this error whenever I
try to access any page on my local server:
Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0201'
Invalid Default Script Language
The default script language specified for this application is invalid.
And absolutely nothing I have tried has worked thus far. I tried
uninstalling the update, but while that removes the new vbscript.dll
from system32 and replaces it with the old one, it hasn't fixed the
problem. I know it's not related to the default script language
setting; that still is set to VBSCRIPT, just like it's always been.
Even if it wasn't, all my pages start with <% @LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" %>.
I also tried re-registering vbscript.dll, but it didn't help.
I am really not well-versed in IIS or DLLs or anything, so please be
gentle, but if anyone can help me here, I would be most appreciative.
I tried every route with Microsoft directly, but they keep telling me
that since I'm still using Windows 2000, they can't offer support or
advice without charging me lots and lots of money. Help!

Defrag strategy to extend disk life
I looked into defragging utilities in order to minimize the wear on my
hard drive. This differs from most people's main motivation, which
is to improve the speed of data acquisition from the hard drive. For
me, that is a beneficial side effectg.
So far, I've found that freeware doesn't cut it. The short story is
that they don't use the proper security privilege so as to be able to
access and derag all files, regardless of the account to which they
below. I ended up trialing Diskeeper, which seems quite awesome in
that it defrags all the files that the freeware could not. It also
defrags in the background, making use of otherwise lull times in CPU
usage. In addition, the premier pro version supposedly has some
intelligence which figures out which files you access most, and
optimizes the access to them.
Unfortunately, the background defragger seems to go against my reason
for defragging, which is to minimize disk wear rather than speeding up
file access. The background defragging seems to keep the hard drive
perpetually spinning, even in the absence of activity that would cause
defragmentation. So basically, I'm going to forgo that feature and
possibly continue comparing commercial defraggers.
Are there any considerations that I may be overlooking in this
decision?
In the absence of background defragging, would once a week be frequent
enough for defragging? I don't use the machine for video, audio, or
any kind of media. Just plain old surfing and email. Tag: Bootcfg/fdisk in W2000? Tag: 563875

scheduled task can not access shared drive
This is actually on a Windows 2003 server but I didn't see it among the
options.
I've created a batch file on server A to generate a report and copy it to a

works; when I use the task scheduler to run the batch it fails. A coworker
suggested using the unc path rather than the mapped drive letter designation
but that didn't help - all that did was generate a "CMD does not support UNC
paths as current directories" error message.

recognized unless the user physically logs onto the box. Is that the case and

Temporarily suspend/deactivate Diskeeper DkService
I'm running Diskeeper 2008 Pro Premier on Windows 2000 SP4. It was
installed as admin. I'm logged in as power user, but want to turn off
DkService so that the CPU can be uninterrupted for the next 20
minutes. I lauch Diskeeper as admin using Run-as, then disable
DkService. However, though it uses little CPU most of the time, it
still fluctuates in the amount of CPU that it uses, between a few
percent to 40~50%. Why does it not suspend?
I also see DkService in the Services menu. I am reluctant to suspend
it because I'm not sure if that will screw things up. Some apps can
be simply restarted, but some apps assume some kind of special boot-in/
login activity. Is it OK to suspend DkService from the Services
application?

Services running high and CPU usage high
Hello everybody,
Lately my HD is spinning like crazy and fans too.
I looked in Task Manager and I can see that services are running very high
and CPU usage is high also even when I do not perform any tasks.
I scanned my computer for viruses and it seams that it is clean.
A few weeks ago I installed Spybot and BitDefender but I uninstalled them
soon because I thought that they may interfere with eachother.
I ended unnecessary processes - now running 30.
I have also unticked non essential Start Up programs and Services - that did
not help.
To me it looks like there is something running in the background but how can
I detect it ??? It must be hidden somewhere.
My computer parameters:
IBM ThinkCentre
CPU 3 Ghz
RAM 2 GB
HD 233 GB (194 GB free space)
WIN2000 Pro with SP 4.
AV software- Avast.
I have this problem for the last few weeks and it is driving me crazy. I
spent countless hours trying to find the cause.
Please provide any suggestions.

Windows suddently won't start
I just swapped mobos and did a repair install on Windows 2000. After than

Everything seemed to be running fine. From the desktop I changed the color
depth from 16 to 32 bpp and it hung on a blank screen after I said OK to
make the change. Before restarting, I pulled the power plug to the floppy
drive (I had never connected the ribbon cable), plugged in the case fan and
closed up the case.
Now Windows won't start at all. It hangs on the splash screen at about 3/4

Hangs on the "starting Windows" screen. It seems unlikely to me that any of

list view) in what appears to be in random order.
While the dialog box is in view, if I click on View Menu, choose
Details, then click on the Name column, the folders will appear first in
alpha order, followed by the files in alpha order, just as I want. But
the next time I try opening or saving a file, the dialog box doesn't
remember my last settings, but reverts to showing files and folders in
random order.
None of the Office programs (Word, Excel, Access) have this problem. But
my audio editing program, Cool Edit Pro, and my picture viewer, Irfan,
both have the problem.
FWIW, I use a program called System Mechanic, and one of its tools
compacts the registry. I really can't correlate the problem to when I
last compacted the registry. But since I wasn't anticipating the problem
and thus not looking for it, SM may have caused it.
Any suggestions for curing it?
Thanks,

Open Flash USB folder like XP?
There's only one feature from XP that I wish Windows 2000 had - and that is
automatically opening up a folder view of a newly inserted USB flash drive.
By any chance, does anyone know if there is an application that will enable Windows 2000
to do that???
Thanks!

Electonic Microscope
Hardware: Celestron 44300

Lost Scanners and Cameras in Control Panel after 30 days after BSOD and now
the box can't find New Hardware, the camera. SFC no joy. Installed on second
box camera worked okay, but received BSOD after an hour. Did not lose
Scanners and Cameras, but setup an I386 folder in %systemroot% and changed
the registry to run it w/o the CD.
Here is the BSOD:
***STOP: 0x0000001E(0xC0000005,0xBABAA597,0x00000000,0x00000000)
***ADDRESS BABAA597 base at BABAA000, Date Stamp 44863b3b - snp2sxp.sys
Beginning dump of physical memory
Dumping physical memory to disk: 100
Questions:
Main thing is this in the OS or USB specific?
Since a pin drive works fine, but new hardware is not found for the
microscope, would this have effected the USB controllers?
Does this sound like defective hardware?
What to do with snp2sxp.sys? Would replacing the file correct this?
