New to Win2k

dgcartel

At the place I work I have a user that since day one has been working on windows 95/98 machines (about 2yrs worth of it) and has a 98 machine at home. . . so all she knows is 9x. . . Here at the office we are slowly migrating everyone to win2k and winxp.

Where the heck are they at? heh. Has a user purge ever been done on the board? Just trying to pinpoint why they are so few posts but so many users. .

dje007

Everytime that I try and get on the internet (through MSN Dialup)it keeps popping up with the box that says that Windows Messanger has something about going out of boundries and changing from the last time that it was accessed.

RandyC

Hi there, On my step dads PC running Win XP it keeps on coming up with a BSOD and in the dump message stating STOP : 0x0000007e (0xC0000005,. . . ). The only hardware changes were to add another 52x CDROM drive adding to the existing one but the PC has worked fine for the 2 weeks since the install.

This shouldn't be so hard. Anyone care to check my figures?

Ron_Jeremy

I'm tired (just played 36 holes) & don't know if I'm doing something blatantly wrong. Both machines see each other fine thru Network Neighborhood. I can't get Comp B onto the 'Net. No firewall has been implemented yet.

Blocking ports from the inside out

palladenx

Hope the subject wasn't too off. I'm looking for a solution that will block ALL outgoing and incoming SMTP (25) port activity. I tried modifying the TCP/IP filter settings under the network connection to allow only 21,80 and 443 on a Win2k box, but this only stops requests from the outside being blocked.

Dual-monitor gaming (ti4200)?

BanditXL

I bought myself a geforce4 ti4200. It's a fine card, but I can't get the dual-monitor thingie to work like I want to. I've seen some screenshots of games support dual-monitor like serious sam 2 and startrek armada 2 (or did I mistake it for Ati's radeon series??), but I can't get it to work like that.

NTFS Performance

jwl812

NTFS under XP is jackin' my system up!!!!!!!!! File access is incredibly slow. Programs take forever to start up. The harddisk is banging around constantly. FAT32 seemed much much faster. Also 3d framerates have suffered.

Necessary or Just a War?

one_2_three

It seems more like an everyday battle to prove who has the best of the best when infact, it really is in your face. Not to mention that the best of the best is sometimes the dumbest move. No offense, but who needs that much graphic and that much sound in their faces? The human eye can only see so much and the human ...

P4 Cooling?

Dredd

I am about to purchase the new Abit IT7 board and run a P4 1. 8a processor. I am so used to P3's that I haven't kept up with the best cooling options for the P4. I am not planning on overclocking. Looking for stability in my computer.

Colin Mcrae 2 not smooth on windows 2000

rgodart

The above game doesn't run smooth in windows 2000. But it's not a frames per second problem, because i get a constant 50 FPS. It's just that at certain times the environment seems to move a little faster (a fraction of a second) and then goes back to normal speed.
