The problem is 3 of these boards don't have manuals online. 1 is a Packard Bell & the other 2 are from a mom & pop shop - no brand name. I've tried searching for it on the net & came up with nothing. I think I have the PB board figured out, they did a pretty good job of explaining things right on the board but I'm not 100% sure on the 2 Award Software boards.

This chipset says it's 2.2v core & 3.45 I/O, so what do I set the motherboard to?

I didn't smell anyhting burning but the thing is I have 3 AMD K6-2 chips, so I have no clue if the board is no good, if it's all 3 of the chips, or if it's all of it. This is someone elses stuff so I could have got it in a non-working state - that's what I'm trying to dertermine.

I'd prefer if there was some DOS proggy or something that I could use to check & see exactly how much RAM this thing has. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

The memory tested at startup is the base & extended memory - not RAM. I will try the mem command, thanks. I should hav thought of that but it's been awhile since I really used DOS.

well I tried setting it to the I/O first & now none of the chips are working, so I have no clue if I messed up the board or if none of these chips ever worked. I have 3 ADM K6-2 chips, you'd think one of them works. Perhaps I should just go down & have these tested. Aight, thanks for the feedback, i appreciate it.

http://support.octek.com.au/Downloads/Files/Manual/P1/MVP3AT-B.pdf Page 14 is the layout (SW1 & SW2), then just after that it says "setting for processors". There is no I/O voltage setting & a core voltage setting on the board. You have to make a choice on what voltage to send, do I set it for the core or the I/O?

I have a few different boards & a few different chips, what difference does it make? You have to set the voltage on the motherboard according to what processor you have but I don't know if I should be setting it to the core voltage or the I/O voltage. I'm thinking it's the I/O voltage but I'm not sure. To answer your question though... Motherboards K6XV3+/66 Rev B ASRock K7VT2 EP-8KTA & there is another board but it's not what we are primarily working on because it's older & it doesn't have a model or brand name listed anywhere. Processors AMD AUD900 Duron 900 AMD-K6-2/450AHX (2.4V Core/3.3 I/O) AMD-K6-2/550AGR (2.3V Core/3.3 I/O) & we have some other ones too but you get the picture. Now the Duron 900 and/or the ASRock K7VT2 is blown out for sure (owner tried installing 2 different types of RAM at the same time). The Duron 900 will only work in the ASRock K7VT2 or the EP-8KTA & I am currently trying the AMD K6 550 in the K6XV3+/66 Rev B but I need to know what to set the voltage to on the motherboard regardless if I am working with the K6XV3+/66 Rev B board or the EP-8KTA board (there are blue switch boxes with 5 or 6 switches on the board that are specifically for setting the voltage on the board).

I know a guy who's ex-wife used Win2k on his computer (not sure if it's FAT or NTFS) & now they're split up & the guy is looking to unlock what she has passworded. I know in Win 95/98/ME that if you delete all the .pwl files, that removes the networking passwords. I was curious if there was something similar or perhaps something else that can be done so that we may gain access into the Administrator account &/or anything else that he may be locked out of system-wise (as opposed to third party proggy-wise). Any ideas? Thanks for your time.

When it's time for me to try & get into that PC, I'll try all this out. Thanks for your time & the info.

There are certain resources on the server that I would like to make so that only certain programs can create new files or append data, however, any other program (including explorer (i.e. copying & pasting)) is denied access. Another thing to this is, some of these programs are not on the server. They would be located on the workstation. Any ideas? As always, I thank everyone for their time.

I have a LAN system with 2 user accounts on each PC. 1 is an admin account, the other is a restricted user account. I want to be able to allow the clients access to the resources shared via the server, however, I have guest disabled because I only want authorized computers to have access to the servers resources. I have tried setting up accounts on the server but it still isn't permitting access to the resources. The server is Win2k & the clients are WinXP. Now I know it has something to do with the "Security" tab of the folder. I permit IBM Aptiva full control via the "Security" & "Share Permissions" tabs & it doesn't permit it, however, if I permit "Everyone" full control in the "Security", it allows the connection but I DO NOT want to permit everyone access into the resources or the locally on the workstation. Also, I do permit "Administrator" & "System" full control of the resource, it still won't work without permitting "Everyone". Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong or at least what it is I need to do to accomplish permitting authorized users only to the servers resources? Thanks for your time.

After I got some sleep I was able to figure this out pretty easily. I needed to add "NETWORK" into "Security". Thanks for your time anyways.

What's Active Directory? If it's another program to download & install then I'm not interested. The server is a 100mhz, I'm not having anything take up more resources. The clockspeed on this ancient thing is bad enough. Either way though, I don't understand why you are bringing up the guest account (to answer your question though, this is all in the same workgroup). I can get it working with guest disabled - that's not the problem, the problem here is in the "Security" section... The server is "Intel 6x86" & the client is "IBM Aptiva" (the restricted user accounts are by model &/or brand name, admin accounts are named admin). In the "Security" section of the resource I am working with on the Intel, I am permitting 4 accounts... #1) Administrator #2) Intel 6x86 #3) SYSTEM #4) IBM Aptiva & this connection DOES NOT work, however, if I add "Everyone" to the Security, it works fine (the client is obviously using the "IBM Aptiva" account). I do not want to be permitting "Everyone" access to this resource or any other. I don't see what "Everyone" is providing that is not already covered. Also, if this was a login problem, why wouldn't a login screen be prompted on the client workstation? The user/pass is exactly the same on the server & client, so I'm thinking that this is not the problem. Any ideas? As always, thanks for your time.

There used to be a icon like every other connection icon in "Network and Dial-up Connections" called "Incoming Connections". This is now missing & I was wondering how I could bring it back. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Got it. Ya this is just a standard LAN connection, no dial-up or other connections via internet or anything like that. Good to know though, thanks.

What does this do that it doesn't do without it? Is this just a more friendly user interface or what?

I need to have 2 accounts, 1 is the admin account & the other is for everyone else but the thing is, when something is done on one account, I want it to be the same for the other. This goes for the start menu, any theme changes, any size changes, anything & everything I want to be the same except the access levels (which is the point of having 2 accounts). Any suggestions? Also, I am posting about this in the Win2k & WinXP forums because the server I have is Win2k but the clients are WinXP. The answer that I get in WinXP may not work in Win2k or vice versa, so please no complaints about the double post. Thanks for your time either way, - Marker0077

no no, I mean what is it called by the feature; Like do I disable "Install on Demand", do I disable "ActiveX", what do I look for to disable? Alot of the users here are n00bs, if a pop-up says "install this or your computer will blow up", they'll do it. I need to make that option not even available.

I have tried installing Microsoft .NET Framework on 2 different computers, 1 is Windows XP the other is Windows 2000. I get a regsvc (remote registry editing proggy) problem on both computers. Any suggestions?

No but there was another program that appearently worked in conjunction with it that was disabled. I just re-installed this OS, I know I didn't disable anything so it obviously does it by default by MS standards which is stupid considering they're the ones that set up the defaults & they set up the installers for .NET... woteva, problem solved, thank you.

Well I do know that when I went to AstaLaVista in Opera, the browser would not permit the question of installing to even be asked. Anyways, what is that called specificall? I'm curious to what I should be blocking out name-wise. Also, I set the security permissions for "System" to full control in almost all folders, so that should solve any system problem. Locally at least.

tweakui: ya i checked that out & the x-setup proggy, both real cool. I'm not a newcomer to tweak ui although I must say, it is a bit buggy icon-wise & has been for some time. mozilla: thanks for the tip but I'm not going to have everyone install & use a whole new browser just because of activex, however, i will disable activex now that I know that that's what causes the problem. Thanks again.

Is there a way to automatically login with an account? This was an option in Win2k but I don't see it in WinXP.

I was going to install the Tweak UI anyways but I haven't had a chance to really dive into the XP OS yet. I'm working on the server first (which is Win2k), then the clients (which are WinXP). Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it.
