Another Blue Screen

Brian Frank
This is weird. It's not frequent, and I can figure out what I do to start it, and it's been doing it only in the past month or so. It's BSOD'd me before firing up UT, IE, or trying to play a media file.

Dammaged fonts... annoying in the extreme

Well it might not be damaged fonts but win2k (w/ sp2) is not loading all my fonts. the standard windows fonts. the fonts that windows uses instead are small and almost unledgible. This is the worst in IE.

Windows Update and IE5.5SP2

Greggy
Since 'upgrading' to Internet Explorer 5. 5 SP2, it seems I can no longer use Micro$oft's Windows Update service - When I go to the Windows Update web site and click on any of the 'Product Updates' links, I instantly get the following message: A runtime error has occurred.

Downloading IE files for later use

BladeRunner
Hi, Could somebody re-post the instructions on how to download the IE files so that they can be saved and installed later. I'm trying to create an installation point on the network for IE 5. 5 SP2 but I can't for the life of me remember the command line.

Are MS upgrades supposed to break something

Dirty Harry
Great, just great. Here I hold off upgrading IE 5. 5 with SP2 for a few weeks because something is so often wrong with MS upgrades. Anyhow I just did it tonight as I hadn't heard about any probs and half an hour later I look at NT comp main page and find that the stupid SP2 shuts off Quick Time.

Visual Studio, PeachTree Accounting. Can I change Apps that

Hawkman
I am an administrator in a college. We recently upgraded to NT5 and are having a few permission problems not seen in NT4. For ex: Visual Studio, PeachTree, and Quickbooks need to be installed as administrator (this is normal), but the user has to be a power user to use.
