Win2K crashing

kaboom
I'm running a 900MHz Athlon with Win2k and WinMe dual booting. I am getting a random freezeup that I cannot relate to any specific app. It happens in both OS's, and is totally random. In 2K, there is no event written to the log so no help there.

Win2000 Defraggers

Ralf Hutter
What defragger are people using for Win2000? Have you found any performance difference between any of them? I've been using Diskeeper 6. 0 but am also considering Raxco's Perfect Disk 2000,O&O Defrag, and Norton Speed Disk.

Unable to access folders in boot drive!

sk
I’m having trouble accessing folders one or more generations down that I create in the root directory of my boot drive. I get the error message “Access Denied”. All right, if I can’t access it then at least I can delete it again.

If anyone's pc (who has an AMD and Win2k Pro) is crashing in 3D games, it's a simple registery prob which can be fixed by downloading a very small patch from the AMD site. .

Different default applications for different users?

Down8
Is there any way to change the default application for different users on the same machine? Scenario: I use WinAmp for my MP3s, and basically keep all of my MP3s in the playlist, so when my brother opens WinAmp under his account, my playlist is there.

Task Manager Tabs Gone.. how to get them back?

Swedie
A month back or so I don't know what happened. But suddenly the tabs in my Task Manager is gone. I only have the default stuff showing up in the Task Manager, where I can End Task and so on. But the other tabs where I can see CPU usage and other things are gone.
