System Admin

I don't think Win2K ships with Resource Meter. In its place is the Performance Console, found in Start/Programs/Administrative Tools/Performance. You might also try MSDN - one of the tools in the Resource Kit for Win2K may do the trick. "My child was Inmate of the Month at Mohave County Jail" - Bumper Sticker in Bullhead City, AZ

I looked it over, but I've tried most of the suggestions listed there. Nothing seems to work. One possibility I may try is to delete all the zone info that Win2K installed for me and rebuild it from scratch. It's also possible that my ISP is interfering somehow, I guess. The policy is to not allow customers to run Internet servers, but I've been doing so for a couple of years. The guy that runs the ISP (a one man shop) is more well-meaning than well-trained, and I've had to assist him many a time, so it has never occurred to me that he might know how to enforce this policy. Perhaps he's taken a night class or two... :-) Thanks for the suggestion! "My child was Inmate of the Month at Mohave County Jail" - Bumper Sticker in Bullhead City, AZ

If it is a w2k box, you can use WMI. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dns/dns\_wmi\_6lyq.asp

Heya, WinXP Pro does and you can set the logging level via the gpedit.msc tool. To see the logs: visit Computer Management -> Event Viewer -> Security and search the times...

Right click on 'My Computer', select 'Properties', select the 'Advanced' tab, click the 'Environment Variables' button. Software Zen: delete this;

try giving..... fdisk /mbr from the command prompt. It removes the MBR from the boot, and by default it boots from commamd.com......

Please excuse my jumping in, but what type of OS would you advise? I've been trying to "replace" MS OS's for over 3+ years... and I'm still desperately seeking a system that does not have to be rebuilt simply to boot or properly shut down! My story is too long but I'm with you... IE: W95, 98, 98SE, ME and now XP! Even my ancient Mac 512SE has more up time than any of the previous... I keep it around just to retype and send snail mail when my other (7) MS boxes fail... at least I know it will still power up, print and power down without having to do some type of system file maintenance... I have 8 boxes (none networked) and on any given day, I can't guarantee a flawless session of composing and printing a document for my kid's school assignments... the answer to "where do you want to go today" usually means "crazy" for me... Anyone care to hear the whole story? I'm new to CP, and looking for serious low level help... Is there a forum for articles like "digital dancing with the devil"? I've dedicated myself to learning C, C++, pearl, Pascal, basic, and/or even (God forbid) assembly, simply to understand and fix the basic errors with (IBM compatible) power on, os boot, application Open, Save, Print and Close... and most importantly "safe" shutdown and power off! I shouldn't have to be a rocket scientist... For God sakes, I'm a DRAM fab engineer whose only real goal in life was to publish a music and video magazine (in color, one flaw of the 512 Mac SE)! 15 years later I’m still trying, and now I'd like to do it over the web... I never thought it would require the study and practical use of a bookshelf full of programming manuals… Maybe this should have been an article, and maybe this is not the right place to look for collaboration and help on my “PC” issues and website building desires… If not I apologize for my comments (and adding my $.02 worth) in agreement about MS… But I also want to thank CP for making problem code information and advise from professionals like you to the rest of us general public type persons… Nuff said… again, what OS do you suggest? My only chance in life is to develop an operating system compatible with the memory and BIOS of loved ones that have died before me… aps

Moving the root fs ('/') is possible, but tricky. You could split your '/home' partition into two to create your new '/' partition, then format it and copy everything from old '/' (use cp -ax, edit /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/grub.conf to match the new partition layout.

They tell that.... the product is out-of-date, soo no suport..... What shall I do.... I disabled the security.... Thats it, till I get time to upgrade the product to the one that has 'support'..

I don't know if this will help, but I've just recently run into a similar problem while troubleshooting an entirely different issue. A while back I found and downloaded a product called "WhosLocking" that will identify dependent tasks that prevent me from shutting down a service. It's very handy and works great. What I didn't know until this week is that it can also shut down the dependent tasks and release the one you're trying to kill. No more "Access Denied" messages!!!:-D It's freeware, so try Google to locate it. "When in danger, fear, or doubt, run in circles, scream and shout!" - Lorelei and Lapis Lazuli Long

U r right about the error message. I didnt upgrade my driver... but did something else to fix the problem. I disabled my NOrton Internet Security Edition... oops... the PC doesnt hang. I confirmed this by enabling the Norton Internet Security and... PC hanged..... Thanks for ur advice?? Is norton handling the IRQ for anyreason.... and why is it hanging my PC????

As far as I consider RTOS, its just the platform whenr the system runs for LIVE. For example, the mobile phone has a processor in it, with its own OS running on it. And that OS I mean, may or maynot have the memory disk. The actual 'code' will be in a EEPROM, programmed at the lab/factory. And it starts 'running' when power ON. They are mostly driven by the interupts and timed routines (people call that as ISRs - interupt service routines). Thats what I know... r u confused more??:confused:

Mhhh...Hard to tell you, i need to it.Well, uninstall IIS, then install IIS if this not help you, maybe you bad configured IIS.For more information look at http://www.iisanswers.com/Top10FAQ/t10-installiis.htm :zzz: Zhymantas Vechorskis
