OK this is probably very easy. I'm not talking about finding out the processor type/clock speed programmatically, I just want to be able to look it up! I know it is possible to reboot and that would do the job but there must be an easier way. Isn't it?
BTW my machine is W2K but a generic solution would be best

Right-click on "My Computer", click "Properties". It should be at the bottom of the first page.

That was my first try. What I see is this:
Computer:
x86 family 6 Model 8 Stepping
3
AT/AT COMPATIBLE
261.616 RAM
but not a word about the clock speed  Is this perhaps not always available?

Try Start/Run/ msinfo32.exe.
This provides the Processor speed information in the System Summary.

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...

I have a mate that knows nothing about copmuters, he just uses them. He told me that no apps where appearing on the task bar.
I went round to have a look, and he has Win98 OSR2, IE5.5. The quicklaunch bar displayed. His system tray displays fine, with the clock displayed in it. No matter how many or what apps I open they do not appear in the task bar. If I right click on the task bar, the menu item "Minimize all windows" is greyed out. 
Whilst writing this, I realised I didn't virus check his computer.
Anyone got an idea what the problem might be please??

Search the Microsoft site.[^] You will find the knowledgebase article 162363[^], which explains that this is a hardware problem.

Which part of "this is a hardware problem" do you not understand?
The solution: Remove or replace the faulty hardware.

READ THE DAMN KNOWLEDGEBASE ARTICLE! 
"Faulty Hardware" is not the same as "Faulty Driver".

Heya,
It is possible that you have faulty hardware that only faults under specific conditions. Windows drivers are not a good way of diagnosing hardware problems. Simplest solution:
1. Remove all non-essential hardware (i.e. leaving CPU, RAM, MOBO, Boot HDD)
2. Run an intensive test program or similar for 12 to 24 hours on the hardware. If the exception occurs, blank the boot disk; install a fresh clean copy and try again. If the exception occurs again, one of the above is faulty. Now follow a replace and retest on the above items.
3. Should you get this far... Replace the cards, etc. in the PC one-at-a-time. It is important that you do this in steps. Again, test the PC for 12 to 24 hours with a burn-in application. If a BSOD / exception occurs then install a fresh copy of the OS and the latest drivers. If you are using the latest drivers already; go back a release.
4. If everything works fine - your system is OK.
NEVER say that there are no faulty drivers or hardware UNLESS you can prove (preferably using Z or some other tool) that they are correct! There may be bugs in hardware / software that are benign until a specific combination of hardware and software occurs.

Here's how to correct your problem. Ready? Here we go:
- Power off the computer.
- Unplug the computer from the wall.
- Remove all external cables (video, etc.).
- Disconnect the keyboard, mouse, and speakers if you have them.
- Put all of the hardware you've just disconnected in a box.
- Set the box of hardware, the CPU, and the monitor at the curb in front of your house.
- In a few days, the trash collection men will come and take your problem away.
There now, isn't that better?

I had installed win2k(FAT filesystem) on my system which already had win98. Then I formatted the drive where I had 2k. But a boot menu still appears with win2k and win 98 as the options. When I choose win 2k, nothing happens. After 30 secs it starts up win98. What do I have to do to remove Win2k from the boot up menu?????

One day, I decided when I received a mail with a zip file attached that when I double clicked on it, Outlook didn't ask me if I wanted to "open it", "save it", etc. I unchecked the option "always ask before opening a file of this type" and Outlook never asked me it again.
Now, I want Outlook ask me it again. How can I reactivate this question?
I'm using Outlook 2002 SP1.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I am facing problem in my active directory. I have windows 2000 Server Installed. The problem is that sometimes administrative accounts are being lockedout by the system automatically. My password policy is disabled. I dont think that somebody is trying to guess administrative accounts passwords in our LAN and that is why admin accounts are being lockedout after 5 tries.
Can anybody help me out in this regard?
Thanks in advance.
