win-NT and win-2000 doesnt co-exist
Actually, all versions of NT will happily install alongside one another. I have three NT installs on this box right now in fact. Just make sure each install has its own partition, or they will write over each other's Program Files dirs.

The SuSE Linux manuals describe how to do this. Unlike Windows, the product ships with detailed documentation, rather than requiring you to spend hundred$ to buy the information that should be provided with the product. When you install it on a drive that already has Windows installed it will detect the previous installation and offer to install itself in a separate partition. Since I haven't done so yet, I don't know how it will do this without damaging the existing installation... the docs probably give some help there. When I get around to doing this, I plan to have a second drive in the system dedicated just to Linux.
The installation will, however, install a MBR that halts the boot process and offers you a choice of which OS to load. For that reason, it's important that Windows (and any other OS you have on the system) be installed first. I strongly recommend reading the documentation thoroughly before you begin as there are many configuration options to consider that don't come up when installing Windows.

Hi all,
I am looking for information on how to build a home "workstation."
What I would like to have is a single box (dual cpu's?) that has two of everything outside the box (monitor, keyboard, etc.) I know there are video cards that support dual monitors (any suggestions?).
I would need to be able to login independantly on the two monitors (XP will be the O/S), i.e. be able to play a game on one monitor and create a word document while on the other.
Any pointers on how to configure this and suggestions on hardware??
Thanks,
Gary

Hi all,
I have win95 installed on my PC. It has been working fine. Today when I reboot the machine efter some initialization I got the
message "Operative system not found". Why I get this message, what has happened to my machine? What I remember is that I did clean the place near the computer which might have caused that some cable gets loose, may this cause the error I get? or there is something else I have to check.
Please help me in this regard.
regards
/rsasalm

You may well have bumped a cable loose - crack the case open and give them a wiggle. I've seen this message once, when I stupidly forgot to plug in the IDE cable to the drive in a system I was overhauling. You could also have a damaged MBR on the drive, or the drive controller may be loose (if it's separate from the motherboard). Checking the integrity of all internal cables (both ends) and jumpers is a good first step.

Hi,
When running NetMeeting on Win9x to get remote access to the desktop, it's disabled after boot by default (on the PC which is to be controlled remotely). Is there an option to default to enable?

where to get resource meter in w-2000?
nothing in start menu
no add-remove option
no r*.exe into windows
thanks

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.

Does anyone know of an API that will let me programmatically update records in or MS DNS server?
Thanks
Stephen.

If it is a w2k box, you can use WMI.

When I built this Win2K server I accepted all the defaults, not having any clear reason to change anything from the MS recommendations. That included installing DNS and AD, and integrating the two. Since then the system has been plagued by 5774 errors, and the System Event log has to be emptied every few days. I tried for months to find some combination of settings for DNS that would clear up the problem, including every solution found in the KB. None helped in any way.
A few weeks ago I disabled DNS since I don't currently have any clients connected to the machine, and I had hopes that this would also stop the error messages. It hasn't. Today I was again musing over the problem and am wondering if the problem might really lie in AD, and the DNS is merely responding to faults that lie elsewhere. Should I remove DNS from AD? What other unintended consequences will a DNSectomy cause?

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!

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??
