    - Cannot copy file_name: Access is Denied I have a user that tries copying files into a shared folder and she gets: "Cannot copy <file_name): Access is Denied. Make sure that the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use." I've tried taking ownership, which allows ME to move the files. I give her ownership and she still can't complete the above task. The disk is not full or write protected and the user has the appropriate share/ntfs perms. Any suggestions?

    - IE6 makes a screeching sound whenever it is opened I reformatted an older laptop and put the original Windows 2000 back on, but upgraded to IE6. Whenever I open Internet Explorer there is a high-pitched screeching sound in the background, from the minute IE opens until it closes, no matter the web-site. If it is closed there is no noise. What on earth could cause this and how do I stop it!!! Tag: SLOW SLOW DNS on Windows 2000 Server PDC Tag: 563916

    - 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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tag: SLOW SLOW DNS on Windows 2000 Server PDC Tag: 563915

    - 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. Help. Tag: SLOW SLOW DNS on Windows 2000 Server PDC Tag: 563911

    - 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: SLOW SLOW DNS on Windows 2000 Server PDC 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! Dave Tag: SLOW SLOW DNS on Windows 2000 Server PDC Tag: 563890

    - Getting Wrong Profile We have one old Windows 2000 Pro (that we use once a quarter to run a database routine that we haven't yet moved to a WinXP computer). When 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 "JohnDoe.Computer05" (which is the one it's loading when I log in as JohnDoe). This is, and always has been, a stand-alone computer. Anybody ever see this before? Tag: SLOW SLOW DNS on Windows 2000 Server PDC Tag: 563889

    - 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! Thank you! Tag: SLOW SLOW DNS on Windows 2000 Server PDC Tag: 563888

    - 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.

    - Access to Network and Dial-Up Connections blocked I am in a losing battle with my IBM laptop over access to Network and Dial-Up Connections (shades of HAL 9000), which it will not let me into come hell or high water from either of the two administrative profiles on this machine. I even created a third administrative profile in an attempt to outsmart it, but access to this is just blocked, period. I'm not sure if the IBM "Access Connections" program on the laptop, which does seem to work, covers the same territory, but I'd like to be able to fix this, which is the only listing in Control Panel I can't open.

    - 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 shared drive on server B. When I log onto server A and run the batch file it 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. I have a hunch that the problem is because the shared drive is not recognized unless the user physically logs onto the box. Is that the case and is there a way to work around this?

    - 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? Thanks!

This warning appears even though i have 16.1GB disk space free. The total disk space for my D: is 67.7GB.

    - 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. Thank you in advance.

    - Windows suddently won't start I just swapped mobos and did a repair install on Windows 2000. After than finished I applied SP4, loaded the nVidia drivers and the ATI video driver. 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 of the blocks in the progress bar in a normal startup. Tried to start the last good configuration and in safe mode and it won't start there either. Hangs on the "starting Windows" screen. It seems unlikely to me that any of the above changes could have caused this problem. I am stumped and need some expert help. Thanks.

    - Opening and saving files In the good old days (up until about three weeks ago), when I went to open or save a file, the dialog box would display the existing folders in alphabetical order, followed by files in alphabetical order. Now, with some programs, the dialog box shows the files and folders (in the 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, Ray Tag: SLOW SLOW DNS on Windows 2000 Server PDC Tag: 563770

Currently i have no win 2k media, however i may be able to lay my hands on some. Woulkd the best option be to try and recover the current install??

    - creating a bootable USB flash drive I recently purchased a nifty 8 gig USB flash drive, and cloned it from a minimal windows 2000 h/d so as to make it what I *thought* would be a bootable USB drive. My PC allows for this option, and I did set it to do that. I used the following command to create the USB drive: xcopy e:\*.* f:\*.* /s/e/c/h/o/y, where E: is my H/D that has a minimal windows 2000 on it, and F: is the 8 gig USB flash drive. The copy took a while but finished OK, and I inspected it windows explorer and it looks A-OK. But when I try to boot from it, even before anything happens, I get a black screen with a message saying something about a pariion table and no boot sequence - what is wrong here? I can follow the same procedure (xcopy ...) where my target is a brand new, but formatted h/ d, and it creates me a nice BOOTABLE h/d, cloned from my minimal win2k h/d. How do I get this USB drive to be BOOTABLE? Did I need another step? Tag: SLOW SLOW DNS on Windows 2000 Server PDC Tag: 563761

    - shutdown, restart, logoff shutdown, restart and logoff do not work if following this path: START - SHUTDOWN - REASTART, SHUTDOWN, LOGOFF CURRENT USER. It will shut down manually in about 2 seconds, but I know repeated "hard shutdowns" are not good for my PC. Installed is WIN2000 SP4 O.S. I was told it was prolly a setup in my BIOS , but I went through that yesterday and could not find a place for shutdown or restart. Any info will be helpful, the more detailed the better.

    - CD's missing Sorry about the prior post - please ignore A moment of madness or was it just the onset of something worse made me look at errorsmart which promised to speed up my computer something drastic - yes it showed that there was more than 1000 errors which could be corrected if I paid the dues - Well I did and promptly my favourite video editor was not available and I could not reinstall it. The makers of the editor and I went into a lenghty email session with no end result. Other things on my computer bothered me. Help came in the way of a 10GB image of the OS partition dated before the purchase of the magic program mentioned above. Hi presto - trouble cured. I installed the update of the editor and all was thought to be well - however Roxio 7.0 seemed to have been damaged. Not to worry, reinstalled and 'hp'; my beautiful 700 GB SATA raid array was missing as was also the CD's. Even the Disk Manager showed no signs of anything else but my 2x 200 GB disks. Saved the registry and looked for any instance of errorsmart. Also uninstalled Roxio and did a similar deed to that in the registry. I also cleaned out any occurence of Roxio in my folders and partitions. That cleared up the trouble only to recur on a subsequent installation of Roxio, this time the CD' were missing but the raid array had reappeared. Finally installed W2K from disk, that would have cleared any trouble in registry, hitched the Image to that which worked fine. Updated bits in Document and Settings from a newer Image and back to normal, I thought. Installed Roxio and again I had lost the CD's. I have roxio 10 but it will not work on W2K - so what might you do. Buy and install XP Pro (remember Roxio 7 did work on this computer) or do you have some powerful magic to help me, please.

    - Temporarily Disable Power Management I'm in the process of updating the BIOS and Embedded Controller programs on a ThinkPad (required in this case as part of a miniPCI wireless upgrade). The BIOS upgrade went fine, but I aborted the embedded controller upgrade when the final message before the actual flash came up: "Exit now if Power Management is enabled." I take it this means ACPI. To figure out how to disable it, I checked both device manager and the BIOS settings. Device manager shows various subcomponents whose drivers can be uninstalled. The BIOS has a "Power" category, with subcomponents where it looks like you can only make adjustments to their operating peramemters. I could find no reference to it in Services under Administrative tools. Is there a "non-segmentized" listing for this and is there a way to just temporarily disable it?

Hello IT_ADMIN_GURU,

Remove one ip address, multihoming a domain controllers is a really bad solution.
For what reason is this?
