Weird Office/Word 2000... just strange

Xavier211
When I installed Win2k Pro on my computer, I reformatted my entire hard drive first. Since I couldn't find my Office '97 CD, I installed a stand-alone copy of MS Word 2000. Word ran great until recently, when it began to exhibit extremely odd behavior.

Anonymous
I'm running Terminal Services on a box on one side of a router (my private LAN). Of course this can be easily accessed with no probs from any computer on the LAN, but it cannot be accessed outside of the LAN (as it's currently configured).

Lost my icons

evil Homer
Real curious one this. . . I was playing with a theme program. . . I decided after about five seconds it was crap and uninstalled it. Unfortunately, some of my system icons have now vanished, and been replaced by the default windows icon for an unrecognised format.

Shutdown shortcut

Hiredgoonz
