Compatibility updates and service pack 2

rgodart
Does service pack 2 automatically turns on compatibility mode? Cuz before service pack 2 i had to manually tell the shortcut to run in windows 98 compatibility mode to make certain games work. Since i did a format and installed service pack 2 they don't seem to need compatibility mode anymore.

Nero 5.5 fix

cuke
Hi, I have a inf file that apparently fixes the hibernation problem with all versions of the above software. If you'd like to leave your e-mail address then I can supply you with it. I'm not exactly sure what I should do to run, I just right-clicked it clicked on install and hoped it worked.

Free mail server for Win2K Server?

Down8
I've been having problems sending through my ISP, so I'm looking for something to send mail through my own server. I have SMTP installed, but I don't have Exchange or anything, and I don't feel like spending any moeny on this, as it'd be less troubl to just send from the web.

Bit of a weird one.....

evil Homer
On one of my hard drives, I have this Document and Settings directory, which is not used. However, I am unable to delete it. Its not used for anything, as it was from a previous XP installation. I can't delete it in Win2k or in WinXP.

shaocaholica
My recycle bin icon dosen't change when the bin has something in it. Its always showing the empty icon even if there are files in it. I have checked the icon settings for the recycle bin and they are correct with different icons for both states.

Start>Programs problem

Ralf Hutter
Somehow I managed to get my start>programs menu to shoe only the shortcuts in my C:\Docs & Settings\Username folder. I also want all the shortcuts that are in the C:\. . . . . \All Users folder to show here (just like it does in Win2000).

AIM memory Leak

Hit
Anyone else gets this? AIM 4. 7 I still think doesn't work in XP RC1, so I use AIM 4. 3, and I've had this leak forever. Basically, after every IM, about 300K more RAM is used. It never goes down, and I'll find that process using 200 megs in no time.

Via 4n1's 4.32 Final and Nero 5.5... One or the other?

Bennybone
Via 4 n 1 drivers and Nero 5. 5 - One or the other??? Well I have run Win98SE and Win2k previously without a hitch in terms of system stability UNTIL NOW! Friend came over the other day and says how about a LAN party? Fine I say, but I have Win2k loaded and you have Win98SE.
