I haven't tried this, but you might give it a try. Search the Registry for the autosearch.msn.com URL and locate the keys where it appears (if any). After saving a backup copy of your registry, try changing the value of the keys found to www.mysite.com, then rebooting. IE is very consistent about following the Windows model, storing everything in the Registry instead of config files, so I'd expect this to work nicely. If not, you can at least restore everything from your backup.

I'm very peckish to try SuSE Linux but I don't want to be away from my lovley Windows 2000. So I asking if it is possible to run SuSE and W2k on the same computer?

It is possible to run any Linux on the same machine as Win2k. Just use some boot manager.

SuSE linux itself knows this... Am not joking..... but its true, it will take care for the boot-manager. Make sure u do the partition with care-that too suse linux helps in a good document.
All the best!

hi
thats no problem. suse is a "easy" ditribution. suse gets notice pf you win partitions and even make mountpoints for it.
at home I have 2 hdd. one for win2k and one for suselinux 8.1
simply start with windows and then install suse..
but: if you want to have a "free data way" between win and suse make a win partition as FAT and not as NTFS... linux can read ntfs but not write..
but fat is no problem... read/write ok...
hope you are still alive (my english..)
 ) life is fun!

I know that thread dispatching is triggered when any thread enters the
Ready state. But do timers and I/O operations asynchronusly (i.e., outside
the 15 ms Interval Timer) change thread states (from
Waiting to Ready) and do they force the dispatcher to
immediately perform thread scheduling?
Given a high priority thread that is waiting on a timer to
expire (e.g., Sleep(1)), what mechanism is checking this
timer, does it occur at a higher frequency than the 15ms
Clock Interval Interrupt, and does it force immediate
thread scheduling?

It may, but I don't believe so.

Definitely not.
W2K/XP are not real time operating systems nor are they deterministic when scheduling threads.

Here's a teaser for you:
The town across the river where my ISP's servers reside had a power failure Wednesday - I lost contact for 3 hours. Since then all chat services have become unreliable. Trillian, AIM, MSN, ICQ, and even Sonork all disconnect every few minutes, which destroys the chat session in progress. The connection itself is working perfectly - 11 Mbps with 0% packet loss - and DNS is cranking along nicely, as I've had no trouble navigating the 'net with a browser.
Contacting the ISP would be a waste of time, as the guy that set it up and knew about networking sold his interest to his silent partner and left the state for a place with trees. His partner doesn't know squat about computers, and the tech support remaining is the cable-puller. Needless to say, there's little hope of the cable guy finding the problem - if there's a green light on the front panel, he's happy. Beyond that he's helpless.
So, what, if anything, do all these chat services have in common? My thinking is that, since the power failure happenned at night, there was no one in the office and the UPSs ran down, letting the works go down in a highly informal manner. The machines are still on WinNT 4.0, so any number of complications could result, and I suspect that something has been corrupted in the OS that affects these services, but not the basic http transport. I'd go over there and fix it myself, but I haven't a clue what to look for.
Any suggestions?

Is changing ISP an option? (I know you live near the border of the world)
The unreliable connection may come from a unstable web proxy or from a failing unity in a cluster of firewalls. If they don't have tech support, you're in bad waters.
You could try turning off your HTTP proxy, if there is any...

Changing ISPs is an option, but then I'd have to settle for a mere DSL connection and pay at least twice as much. For 11 Mbps @ $28/month I'm willing to put up with much!
I'm not using any proxy, and I don't believe the ISP is using any firewalls, but I do recall that they have about 6 servers running in the office. If they're clustered, there might be some synchronization issues after the power failure, but I'd expect that sort of problem to have more extensive effects. I was hoping that there might be some service or feature that chat agents all use and I don't know about, but maybe there isn't, and it was just a coincidence that this nonsense started the same day the lights went out. With luck, maybe it will just go away

It also may be a router problem. (My thinking being that chat services use specific ports and if the router reset to a default configuration, those ports may be now blocked and/or improperly configured.)

Good call! Though not exact, that's sort of what happenned. The fact that it started at the time my ISP lost power seems to be coincidence (what are the odds?). Much digging and gnashing of teeth led to the discovery that Zone Alarm Pro, after many months of working perfectly, suddenly started blocking most of the packets going to and from Trillian. It did this on its own, with no change in settings, and there's a mystery! It also started, a few hours later, blocking messages from Sonork, as well.
I deliberately added Trillian, and the subnet it operates on, to the Trusted Zone in ZAP, then removed and re-added the program itself to the list of apps permitted to access the Internet. Rebooting a couple of times changed nothing, but when I shut down both Trillian and ZAP manually, then cold-started the server, it went back to operating smoothly again as it always had before.
Problem solved, though not the mystery of why it happenned, or perhaps more importantly, why it had always worked before without any special settings in ZAP.

All of my *.avi movies (only *.avi) are flickering during playback, in any player. Recently I've installed new display drivers (For: ViperII/RivaTNT2) 'detonator 4' for win2k. Any ideas for troubleshooting/resolving this issue???

Try to update your video codec (possible DivX from www.divx.com) and video driver (www.nvidia.com). This must help.

I have some problems in installing windows-NT.
Actually my PC already has windows-2000 professional edition. Due to some problems I wanted to install windows NT. So I booted with the windows NT CD.
MY PC has a HDD of 28GB. The C: has 2GB with FAT32, I have other drives with ntfs partition.
During the installation process an error message appeared telling that one of the drives has more than 1024 cylinders and cannot install NT. And the process stopped.
Anyone can explain why, and tell me a method to install windows NT. I have some files in my d: and that needs to be backed up. So, dont tell me to reformat the whole hdd. Anyother solution welcomed....
I started with nothing,
And I still have lots of it left with me.

Th windows NT installer can't create big partitions. You can install WNT on a small partition (1~2GB) and later expand it with a partition resizer like Partition Magic or some free ones which come with boot CDs for Linux.
Windows 2000 and later won't give you this hassle.

This looks cool..... I have a question... if the HDD has another paretition larger than 3GB, does it give problem for the winNT??
And..... MY 28GB HDD is reported as 8 GB only???? Can that also get 'OK' in partition magic?? I mean, can I use my 28GB fully in Win-NT after installation?

You can use a large disk with WinNT, but it doesn't like a large boot partition. It's been a long while since I installed it last, but the maximum size was either 2 or 4 GB. I would install it on a small initial partition, then use it to manage the rest of your physical drive. You should have no trouble using the whole space.
Just out of curiosity, why are you spending your time and effort installing an obsolete product? My experience with NT is unrelieved misery - it's a major pain to install, use, maintain, and repair. Win2K is so much better that it's a complete no-brainer choice if you have the option to use it instead.

I wouldn't waste my time on NT. The error you're getting would make me look for an updated driver for my video card. A lot of the NT drivers will install okay, but they just don't work on Win2k. Tell me more about your hardware configuration - did you check it all with the compatibility registry? BTW - 128 MB is plenty of RAM for Win2K. True, it performs better with more, but I ran it for a time on 96MB, and it did very well.
