How To Turn $5 into $15,000 in 30 days! I was shocked to see This
Works!!! PayPal and the internet are like Magic!
PAYPAL MAGIC!!!
TURN $5 INTO $15,000 IN ONLY 30 DAYS...HERES HOW! This is an approved
Money making blue print and Not, I repeat... This is Not a Scam!!!
You have most likely seen or heard about this project on TV programs such
as 20/20 and Oprah, or you may have read about it in the Wall Street
Journal. If not, here it is below - revealed to you in step-by-step
detail. This program is by no means new. It has been
in existence in many forms for at least a decade. But in the early days,
it required a lot more time and effort, as well as an investment of a few
hundred dollars. However thanks to PayPal and the Internet, the
investment is now virtually ZERO! And what's more,
the entire process is FASTER, EASIER, and MORE LUCRATIVE than it has EVER
been! Below is the email sent to me:
How to Turn $5 into $15,000 in 30 Days with PayPal
I WAS SHOCKED WHEN I SAW HOW MUCH MONEY CAME FLOODING INTO MY PAYPAL
ACCOUNT I turned $5 into $14,706 within the first 30 days of operating
the business plan that I am about to reveal to you free of charge. If you
decide to take
action on the following instructions, I will GUARANTEE that you will
enjoy a similar
return! STILL NEED PROOF? Here are just 3 testimonials from the countless
individuals who decided to invest nothing more than $5 and half an hour
of their time to participate in this program:
What an amazing plan! I followed your instructions
just 3 weeks ago and although I haven't made 15 grand yet I'm already up
to $9135. I'm absolutely gob smacked." -Pam Whittemore Ohio
Well, what can I say?... THANK YOU SO MUCH! I sent 40 e-mail's out like
you said and then I just forgot about the whole thing. To be honest, I
didn't really think anything would come of it. But when I checked my
paypal account a week later, there was over $5,000 in After 30 days I now
have over $11,000 to spend! I can't thank you enough!
-Juan Tovar NY NY
I was shocked when I saw how much money came flooding into my paypal

The only things necessary are: An email address. A PayPal account (I
suggest a premier account because it's free and you get more options)
with at least $5 deposited in it and just 15 to 30 minutes of your time.
This program takes just half an hour to set up. After that there is
absolutely no work whatsoever to do on your part. You have absolutely
NOTHING to lose and there is NO LIMIT to the amount of income you can
generate from this one single business program.

MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200**
That's it! You will begin receiving money within days!
**JUST MAKE SURE THE EMAIL YOU SUPPLY IS EXACTLY AS IT APPEARS ON PAYPAL.
**
Explanation of why it works so well: $$$$$ NOW THE WHY PART: Out of 200
postings say I receive only 5 replies (a very low example). So then I
Made $5.00 with my email at #5 on the letter. Now each of the 5 persons
who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200 postings each with my email
at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each of the original 5 that is
another $25.00 for me now those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM posts with my
email at #4 and only 5 replies each I will bring in an additional
$125.00!
Now those 125 persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my email
at #3 and only receive 5 replies each I will make an additional $625.00!
OK now here is the fun part each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200
letters with my email at #2 and they only receive 5 replies that just
made me $3,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this message to
200 newsgroups with my email at #1 and if still 5 persons
per 200 newsgroups react I will receive $15,625.00! With an original
investment of only $5.00! AMAZING!! When your email is no longer on the
list you just take latest posting in the newsgroups and send out another
$5.00 to emails on the list putting your email at number 5 again. And
start posting again.
The thing to remember is thousands of people all over the world are
joining the internet and reading these articles everyday JUST LIKE YOU
are now!!
So can you afford $5.00?? And see if it really works?? I think so? People
have said
what if the plan is played out and no one sends you the money? So what
are the
chances of that happening when there are tons of new honest users and new
honest people who are joining the internet and newsgroups everyday and
are willing to
give it a try? Estimates are at 20000 to 50000 new users everyday with
thousands of those joining the actual Internet.
Remember play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will work. This really isn't
another one of those crazy scams! As long as people FOLLOW THROUGH with
sending out $5.00 it works!
With warm wishes bless you and your loved ones

Problem with a script execution for stopping services.
Hi,
I have a problem with a little script that stops four services.
When I test the script in a command line, the script runs correctly,
and it stops the services.
The problem is when I schedule the script with the at command, the
scheduler have an error, and the services don't stopped.
Any idea?
The service which executes the task programmer is started with the
local system account.
The local system account has permissions in the script and the
container folder.

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

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?

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
"JohnDoe.Computer05" (which is the one it's loading when I log in as

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: It's possible back up and restore local users and groups in W2k? Tag: 563875
I: Boot CD
Dear ALL,
as all of you know, I can use a diskette in order to boot a particular disk
device depending on what I have written into boot.ini.
I would like to know how can I do the same way using a CD device instead a
diskette, thinking to a nowadays server without floppy device.

Bypassing Administrator Logon
I had to rebuild my windows 2000 system, and now it waits for me to
logon (press the enter key) during startup. My old system went ahead
and booted up to the desktop and I didn't have to logon - I forgot how
I got it to do that - does anybody know what I have to set to make it
go ahead and LOGON without waiting for my to respond? I am logon on
as administrator and the PC in question is not connected to the
internet (I bypassed the network setup). Tag: It's possible back up and restore local users and groups in W2k? Tag: 563864
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. Tag: It's possible back up and restore local users and groups in W2k? Tag: 563862
Sharing problem over LAN
I am running Windows 2000 on two machines connected with a Linksys router. I
have been able to
share drives and peripherals in the past. Lately, I can no longer communicate
over this LAN because
I can't sign on with my usual passwords. Both computers are in the same
workgroup. I cannot figure
out how to change or verify the existing passwords. Any ideas on how to correct
this? Tag: It's possible back up and restore local users and groups in W2k? Tag: 563858
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? Tag: It's possible back up and restore local users and groups in W2k? Tag: 563853
mouse problem
Hi,
system Windows 2000 sp4 Pro:
all of a sudden my mouse started halting for a minute or so, or until I
tap it on my desk a few times. also, it will jump to other areas of the
desktop or just hop around. then it will behave for 15 or 20 minutes and
start again.
thinking it was the mouse I put a spare mouse and had the same problem -
then tried a wireless mouse; same problem, and decided it was a system
problem
I ran chkdsk /r and sfc but it did not help.
any suggestions ???
thanks, bob Tag: It's possible back up and restore local users and groups in W2k? Tag: 563848

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?

disk space issue
Hi all. My win2000 server prompts a warning everyday. The warning is "The D:
disk is at or near capacity. You may need to delete some files". This warning
appears even though i have 16.1GB disk space free. The total disk space for
my D: is 67.7GB. I did not use the registry setting to amend the
DiskSpaceThreshold parameter hence it should only prompt if disk space is
less than 10% of total disk space. Is there any other setting i should check?
My win2000 server is on sp4 and install with symantec antivirus client and
sql2000. Thks in advance. Tag: It's possible back up and restore local users and groups in W2k? Tag: 563815
IBM Serveraid 4xl Error
I am installing windows 2000 on a IBM eserver with a IBM Serveraid 4xl card
for the storage system. When I start the install I press F6 that will allow
me to specify a specific driver. I insert the floppy when asked and it
detects the proper driver. I select the driver and then let install proceed.
After a bit it give an error that nfrd960.sys was not found and setup fails.
The nfrd960 file is on the floppy so I can not figure out what is happening.
Any ideas would be appreciated, the other option is to install Windows2003
but I can not get the CD drive to read my disk so I was going to attempt an
upgrade to get to 2003, that is the reason for the 2000 install. Tag: It's possible back up and restore local users and groups in W2k? Tag: 563814
Remote Assistance and Server 2000?
Is it possible to install Remote Assistance on a 2000 server? I want to be

another (free) solution I can use? Tag: It's possible back up and restore local users and groups in W2k? Tag: 563812

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.

For one server only, services now run only under local system - no
Situation: Database server with several networked apps. Several apps are set
up to use services that those apps have created, e.g. backup exec and
"Track-It!". Each app had a service account under which it was run (generally
domain administrator).
few weeks ago the services could not start under domain admin, but can under
local system. At least one cannot just leave it alone as a work around
because it uses an outlook profile on the machine and local system, I'm told,
won't work with the profile.
