Freezing can be due to any number of causes from old drivers, bad ram, low power, spyware, viruses etc. Are the any errors in the event viewer (eventvwr.msc) or Device manager?

1. First, upgrade NT4 Workstations to SP6a and install the ADSI Client (see http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/server/evaluation/news/bulletins/adextension.asp for them) 2. The domain policy can be created using the NT Policy Editor and create a Ntconfig.pol which can apply to NT4 machines 3. Make sure communication signing it turned off on the 2003 domain as that does not work on NT4 machines. 4. Upgrade the XP Home machine to XP Pro as XP Home cannot be used in Domains.

Check your PC for win 2003 h/w compatiblity at Windows Catalog site at: http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/hcl/default.mspx

I suggest using the nearest model of printer for your Officejet 6110 supplied in Windows XP 64. Otherwise you can use any driver that supports these languages: Print language: HP PCL level 3, PCL3 GUI, or PCL 10 (Most deskjets support PCL Level 3)

i have managed to install the X Files game on XP. Although you do need to install the Quicktime bit but NOT the DirectX as X Files will work on DX 8.1 or 9. First check that DirectX is working correctly by running DXDiag and make sure DirectDraw and Direct 3D is enabled. Also make sure autoexec.nt is available in the C:\Windows\System32 folder as that is known to cause problems with older software.

Run sfc /scannow to scan and replace missing system files including directx.

What system spec do you have? What gpraphics card do you have? Try up[censored] drivers, if not already done. Its a pretty old game (5 yrs). No patches have been released..

Use nslookup to see if you can resolve the dns name of your exchange server. If it cannot find it then you need to modify DNS on your network to see it!

What did you install recently? Use System Restore to restore to a point before the error occured.

I suggest using rules so that all incoming mail is also forwarded to the other guy and the same with 2nd person. Obviously this means some duplication of mail but at least you both get access to the same mail!

List of things to check: 1. Check Event Viewer for errors 2. Check Device Manager for non-functioning h/w 3. Run sigverif.exe to check Drivers 4. Update drivers 5. Check RAM 6. Check PSU, and system or CPU Fans are ok 7. Try a system diagnosis program e.g Sisoft Sandra

Did you uninstall ATI Device Driver from ADd/Remove Programs BEFORE installing the new version! If not, then remove all existing drivers and start again.

Backup your data, reformat C: and start again. Your XP install is definately not working properly...

Open Notepad, then open Autoexec.bat from within notepad to edit it. Win 98 does not need to load any CD Rom drivers from config.sys so you can add a REM statement for all the Device= commands under [CD] (except the himem.sys line) e.g. REM device=btdosm.sys and REM out mscdex in autoexec.bat

No it wouldn`t. You forget the purpose of the page file is to swap memory to disk when you don`t have enough memory available. Putting it into ram is self defeating, you will be using up more ram not saving it and have a dramatic reduction in performance, NOT an increase in performance. You will end up with less ram for your programs and thus cause more use of the pagefile #, so your computer will slow down.

Yes, there are some good resources for setting up Kiosk PCs: http://www.gold-software.com/PublicPCDesktop-review11388.htm http://www.sharewareconnection.com/public-pc-desktop.htm http://www.softhypermarket.com/Public-PC-Desktop-download_26849.html

Have you tried up[censored] the BIOS which may fix issues with your motherboard? http://www.motherboards.com/

A hidden partition is used by come companies to store disk recovery features such as drivers and operating system install files. Instead of providing a disk, they stick the files there. Pressing a key during boot up will access files in the hidden partition. No, formatting a visible partition will not affect the hidden partition.

You may have had the Display properties disabled via GPO. Open GPEdit.msc and look for User Configuration, Admin Templates, Control Panel, Display.

Where are you backing up to? Disk or tape?

Check what mode the parallel port is using in BIOS: Standard, bidirectional, ECP or EPP and set it what the printer or scanner is required.

I think you have to do a CLEAN install of 64 bit Windows. You need to delete existing Windows install. Boot off the 64 bit Windows CD and then install it on a clean partition.

First copy the DBX files to a folder where you want them, set up an account in Outlook Express. Then select Tools, Options then Maintenance tab, click on Store Folder and change the location to point to your old mail. Quit OE and reload and all your mail should re-appear!

If its a Java script, you need to compile it to create a .class file using JAVAC compiler (use the SDK to create it). To include the file on a web page, insert the following code in the BODY of your HTML page: <APPLET CODE="myjavaprog.class" WIDTH=600 HEIGHT=100> </APPLET> which will launch your java program.

I currently use the following software: ZoneAlarm (Free version) McAfee VirusScan 9.0.10 McAfee SpamKiller 6.0.15 SpyBot Search&Destroy I have used XP Firewall but it doesn`t stop some spyware or viruses sending out mail or personal stuff so ZoneAlarm will stop that. Also, ZoneAlarm only uses 7MB of memory and hardly any cpu at all. VirusScan uses 12MB so its hardly a heavy load. AVG is pretty popular with a lot of people and as its free, its a good starting AV product to use.
