Photoshop 6.0

peejay
Has anyone else had problems with Photoshop 6 locked up on them frequently? I had 5. 5 on my system and purchased the 6. 0 update and since that point it is locked up all the time. Generally when going up into the menus only.

Terminal Server

Simon Ngan
Hi guys, I just converted my Windows 2000 Server to Terminal Server. However, I have already installed a lot of programs and I heard in order to use Terminal Services, I should enable Terminal Services right after the installation of Windows 2000.

Down8
Can you still dual boot, as it were, Netscape 6 with 4. 7x as was possible with the pre-releases? I want it all, I know. I want to be able to make sure that my web pages work in all 3 browsers though.

IIS problems....

FakeMcCoy
I recently applied MS's 12-Oct Security Update, and now can no longer run any IIS services, save for the Admin service itself. It gives me something like this: Cannot start the Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP) service on Local Computer.
