Win2k making certain DOS games "frozen"

Rogue1

I'm having an odd problem with certain old DOS games, which, according to all the sources I can find, should work fine in win2k, albeit with no sound in some cases (eg. Tyrian 2000). Basically, when I run the executable, the game will seem to load and the menu, or the first load-screen, will show.

Moving initial duties to different server with AD

mthaler

OK, to begin with I am talking about a home server test setup, which I use for teaching myself before inflicting my limited knowledge on others 🙂 At any rate, I set up two WIN2K servers with AD, and that is working fine.

Calling card use in Windows XP - Home Edition

Heymakerhaymaker

Is is possible to use a calling card to fax long distance calls with Windows XP - Home Edition? I can fax locally, but the dialer ignores my calling card information. Also, when following he help for fax, it says to change the account from local use to a authorized account.

If the security threat posed from this article on the cleverest site around is true, then it is some serious breaching for the ITers: There must be some other way to circumvent such a potential threat
