if u really want to get rid of it, as a last resort, get a prog such as regrun 2, it will allow u to stop programs from starting up (it searches registry, autoexec, winboot, . . .)

Go to: www.winace.com get the program, it allows u to compress into volumes (more than one file) u can put a DOS sfx module whcih will allow u to rejoin and decompress from does incase ur pc really screws up

could u describe the hang? does it just stop, or does it go black, or blue, . . .?

Go here: http://www.amd.com/products/cpg/athlon-duron/amd_win2k_patch.html The patch worked for me when I had the freezing problem (I have an Athlon too). As for the cheap graphics, I suggest a refund!

When I install it (it installs "succesfullty", . . .), it kills my pc! When I restart, it gives me one of those stop errors, tells me to turn off all new hard-drives, uninstall any new IDE controllers and restart! This happenes in the middle of the start up screen (the one with the Win2k logo and the progress bar). I have an AMD 550, 128 RAM, MSI motherboard, and a MAXTOR 30GB 7200RPM. I have installed SP1 on another hard-drive in the same system and it works fine, so I'm guessing its my hard-drive! What should I do!? Any and all recommendations/advice are welcom! I have NO CLUE what to do! BTW I've run chkdsk and done a diskscan on my C drive!

It gives me the "Stop Error" even when I do safe mode! And you're right I don't really need the SP1, but it would be nice to install it (it's supposed to speed you up, . . .) Fortunately (I think), this was the second time this happened. Last time I had to re-install windows. This time I had a ghost image of my HD, so . . . Thnx

I HATE it when Dr. Watson trys to debug huge programs! Quake crashes and since it's on fullscreen, I can't get out fast enough to cancle the debug! I was away and my firewall block MS Word, Word crashed and it debuged word! What can I do?

I make the user, it shows up in the control panel, . . ., but none of the DIRs needed are made! What do i do? BTW the Defult user DIR exists is there anyway to manually make a profile like u could in win95? I have win2k with sp1

The last time i installed SP1, i had to reinstall win2k because after installing, it said that the IDE controllers did not work. Now, I want to try to instal SP1 again, but i need someway of restoring my old drivers if it screws my pc up again. BTW, whatever program it is, it neds to self-boot or something because when it screwed up, i couldn't even login!

never mind, got it working

could u suggest a good ghost prog? one that isn't for netwrok cloning or at least can be used to restore my system from another hard-drive (i have 2, each with a separate version of win2k, one for me and one for the brother)? I hate to sound dumb, but i just got norton ghost 6.5, and have no clue how to make an image file!

Win2k automaticaly maximizes (most of the time) any program that has done something (Ex: explorer loading a new page, . . .) How the heck to i turn this off! It's very annoying at times any help is appreciated thnx

Greeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaat! Any suggestions? I would really like to install SP1 (and not have to reinstall windows)!

Do u know how i can change it? i got this software pack and now i have this damn annoying thing there instead of the usual globe. How can i get rid of it without uninstalling the package. Also, the name of the explorer window changed from "Microsoft Internet Explorer" to "Microsoft Internet Explorer provided by . . ." How do I stick it to these annoying advertizing basterds?

try the programs called regrun and adaware.

Go to download.com and get microangelo. It's an amazing prog and if i remember correctly is a 30 day shareware.

I need a Win2K phone program for a USR 33.6 sportster voice/fax/data modem. the dialer works, but i can't hear! the guy on the other end hears me, but i can't hear him.

Well, why don't u reinstall DX 7?

I need to increase my boot delay, but my current BIOS does not have the option. I have the lates AWARD BIOS available installed on my MSI-6167 motherboard. I need to know if the AMI (or any other compatible BIOS) has the boot delay option.

What does win2k do to TCP/IP on start up? The reason for this Q is that it messes up my TCP/IP up. After a restart, I can't connect to FTPs. It gets in, but when I do a List or Dir command, it can't open a data connection. Everytime I need an ftp connection, I have to re-install TCP/IP. Then it works fine for that session, but after I restarts, it goes back to "not able to establish data connection". Anyone have any ideas?

I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but: I can't recieve from FTPs! I login fine, but i can't even do a dir or list command! Don't even think about downloading!

Good new, I fixed the prob. I re-installed TCP/IP. i guess it should have been the first thing to do, but i just couldn't c why my TCP/IP would be damaged

I don't have a firewall

That's the thing, I've tried the FTP command (lexluthor), and I've tried like 20 FTPs (nothing special, anyone i could find, and about 10 that are well known), with 3 progs. It happens everywhere. (I mentioned this in my other messages)

BTW I tried many FTPs, and i tried cuteFTP, DOS (ftp.exe), and IE5.5 Also, i could do it a while ago (about a month), now I can't! BTW I run 2 copies of WIN2k, and neither work!
