I'm trying to install TweakUI for XP & when I try to install the application I get... "The procedure entry point GetDllDirectory could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll" I am using an admin account to install the application & I'm not sure what to do here. Thanks for your time.

You can't use the XP powertoys in Win2k, you'd have to use the original powertoys for that & it does not require any service packs to function properly.

I only wanted to exclude certain items, such as the shortcuts I keep on the quick launch bar, so doing it the "denying access" way wouldn't really work for me in this case. Thanks anyways though.

It's in PowerToys for XP. I knew I saw it somewhere. Thanks anyways.

I needed to install service pack 1, thanks.

Alright folks, I used tweakui & disabled the CTR+ALT+DEL screen & viola, no more hassle. Now all I have to do is load "Lock WorkStation" on startup & it's finished, thanks folks.

@Four and Twenty: That's or workstation OS's, this is a server OS. Even if you use that the CTRL+ALT+DEL screen is still there. Thanks anyways though. @Tomay: I don't want to convert it over to a workstation, however, it does show how to disable that annoying CTRL+ALT+DEL prompt which is what I am looking to accomplish. Thanks.

Actually, I would like to have the thing login, then lock the computer; This way no one can do aything from the server itself. Now I already know how to get the "Lock WorkStation" to appear on startup, I do not know how to get the DataCenter Server OS to auto-login. Thanks for your time people.

I have an older computer that doesn't permit booting off of a CD-ROM drive & that's the only way to install Win2k. Does anyone know of a program that updates the CMOS/BIOS or something that permits booting off of the CD-ROM drive or perhaps a NTFS bootable disk that will install Win2k to a computer of this type? As alway thanks for your time people.

Well I tried it & I have to say I much prefer the nVidia. Not only do they go at about the same speed, the nVidia has much better graphic detail than the ATI. I appreciate the feedback though fellas, thanks.

The AGP is an nVidia TNT2 32mb & the PCI is a ATI Radeon 7000 series. What I am going for here is the ability to do larger maps as best as possible. I play JK2 & JK3 & I am constantly playing Duel because I can not handle the larger maps. I have yet to test this vid card on these larger maps yet but I do plan on doing so today,

I like to lock certain stuff out & can't in XP but I could in 2k (yes I am in the admin account). I was wondering if anyone knew how to get the "Security" section working like it was in win2k. Thanks for your time folks.

Anyone know a place that lists the various processor sockets & what processor will work in each one? I have a few socket 7 motherboards here & I'm not sure what chips will work in it, I also have a socket 462 board. Again, same dilemma. As always, thanks for your time folks.

I'm using XP Corp which is a slightly modified version of Pro. That tip fixed it though, thanks fellas.

What's the third party app?

Alright, so I'm going over this chip that's clocked at 450mhz & I notice the board is set to 300 mhz - you can imagine my dismay. Anyways, I'm looking for a manual or a layout for a Hewlett Packard 8480Z P28-VE motherboard. All I'm looking to do is set the motherboard to 450 - that's it. I've already checked the processor out, it's a 450. Any help here would be appreciated.

The HP site is hella goofy but I was able to find the motherboard layout on there elsewhere, thanks anyways.

I highly doubt that, I have a couple of PCs after this year & tons of PCs before, my experience tells me that I need to set the motherboard to the right clockspeed but the only problem here is I can't find a manual or layout to do so. I'll look into this cpu-z thing tho. thanks.

Alright, so I used Parition magic on a HD that I already used Western Digitals Data Lifeguard tools & Maxtors MaxBlast Partition software for (2 drives are Western Digitals, the other 1 is Maxtor). After I used Partition magic, the boot sector is totally screwed & I can't use the manufacturers software on it now, any suggestions on how to fix?

I used OnTrack Disk Manager & got the boot sector fixed... sorta. It works but I can't run the Western Digital or the MaxBlast partition proggies. As for the booting off of a CD, that's a no go for now because this is a real old PC & the BIOS doesn't support it. I am trying to do a BIOS update & we'll see what happens. I was originally able to boot CDs from the boot sector the Western Digital partition proggy had created but now that's trashed & I can't use the programs again.

The older Western Digital hard drives have a partition proggy & in that proggy is a program called Dynamic Drive Overlay or DDO for short. This program allows booting off of CD-ROMS on boards that BIOS do not support this. I can't find this software for non Western Digital Drives, I was curious if anyone could help me out. Thanks for your time either way.

It's the data lifeguard tools one, not EZ-Drive & these are for Maxtor hard drives. Only the Western Digital Data Lifeguard Tools Dynamic Drive Overlay was able to add CD-ROM boot support to the PC. Weird, I'll try & see what I can find out, thanks.

I have a processor chip that I am pretty sure is a 200 mhz but the chip that was on there was a 166 mhz. Now when it boots up, it says it's a 166 mhz still. I also swapped out another chip on another board & the same thing happens. I have gone through 3 different manuals for 3 different motherboards, I don't find "setting the clockspeed" anywhere, nor do I find it in CMOS (at least not in a changeable field). Am I supposed to change the clockspeed somewhere when I install a faster chip?

Tried that, no luck. The Packard Bell uses AMIBIOS & there's no ID at the bottom left like the screenie indicates, just a BIOS version. As for the other boards, I have not een able to get to it as of yet. 1 thing at a time.

First off, I apologize about the delay but I had other obstacles that got in my way before I could even come back to this (story of my life). Anyways, I do not want the FAT system on there EVER or AT ALL. I want to totally get rid of it & I don't even want it on there temporarily (I've seen this type of thing cause problems for others in the past). As for going the BIOS route, I can't find it anywhere. There is a BIOS update on the Intel set that *may* work but I doubt it. If I install the wrong BIOS will that mess up the PC? As for those MS links, those just tell you how to make bootable floppies, not how to boot a CD from a floppy. There is a type of software out there called Dynamic Drive Overlay (or DDO for short) & has also been called Disk Manager. I have an older Western Digital hard drive on one of the other computers & it installs this DDO software either on the drive itself or on the PC elsewhere - this software permits booting off of a CD-ROM but I can't find a download for DDO on non western digital hard drives anywhere. Any suggestions?
