can't install win2k

pugnex
My system is a k6-2 400, 64mg ram, biostar motherboard based on ali chipset, viper 770, mx300 soundcard and an old generic lan card. I have tried installing by booting the cd, it loads all the drivers it needs and such but it just hard locks when it says setup is starting windows 2000.

Removing things from sys tray

Goronok
I was curious as to how you can remove things from the sys tray in win 2k. I know how to do it in 98 and Me, but its not quite the same. I know if you go into system information it will tell you what is starting up in the sys tray, but there isnt any way to remove the things from that list.

Locking a computer without seeing it's locked

nicolai
Hi. . Anyone who know of a way of application that can lock a Windows 2000 workstation after ex. 10 mins, but not displaying any 'Computer is locked' or the likes, until a key og mouse is pressed. The idea is to have a computer showing networkstatus to everybody, but we want the computer to be locked.

Removing history items, I guess?

INFERNO2000
I'm tired of looking at items that I typed out months ago. . . Is there a way I can remove the entries that pop up on webpages(say if I search for motherboard on ebay, come back weeks later, and type M, it will bring that up)? I just want to start over.
