Are Win2k Service packs essential?

Tom-boy

This issue has probably been answered before, but I can't find it, so here goes: I've had some serious probs with Win2k lately. Lost the hard drive twice, the other went completely kaputt, and I've also had a couple of crashes/re-installations of Win2kPro.

How do I remove cydoor "Spyware" from KazaA?????

DARTH maul

I ran KazaA and removed all cases of spyware with Ad-Aware. Now there's only 6 instances left, which are all from KazaA. They're cydoor files and registry entries. If I remove them, KazaA will not load, saying I have to re-install it.

Saving Windows settings for a new install of 2k.

videobruce

Can the file 'ntuser. dat' be saved and replace the same file in a new install of 2k so I don't have to redo all the Windows settings? I assume that is the correct file. What is the difference between the file in the root directory and the one under my user name in Documents and Settings?.
