This news article[^] from April says that Microsoft will be working on Windows 2000 SP5 once XP SP2 is released (although there's probably quite a bit of parallel running). An interview with Bob Muglia[^] confirms what will be in SP5.
Extended support continues until 2010 - see the Lifecycle Support Policy FAQ[^]:
"Extended support includes all paid support options and security-related hotfix support that is provided at no charge. Hotfix support that is not security-related requires a separate extended hotfix support contract to be purchased within 90 days after mainstream support ends. Microsoft will not accept requests for warranty support, design changes, or new features during the extended support phase."
Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder

Hi, i have a problem with my outlook express and outlook. I create new account for an e-mail system, i choose POP3/SMTP account type from the screen wizard. I type my user name and password. I also type pop.mail.yahoo.com and smtp.mail.yahoo.com for POP and SMTP. But when I connect to get an e-mail the machine is asking me many time to fill the information about user name and password. Does anyone know about this problem?

I have a harddisk which has 2 partitions. The first one C:(active partition) contains Windows 2000. Now i wish to move this OS to the second partition D: and make my computer boot from this partition. Is it possible? If so, how should i go about doing it?

You'll have to reinstall Windows, and repartition the drive to make D: the primary partition. Extended partitions can be renamed, but not the boot partition. It gets really interesting on multiple drive systems - mine, for instance, boots to drive J: because of the peculiar arrangement of primary and extended partitions I had on the existing drives before I reinstalled Windows. Why do you want to make this move?

I'm hoping someone knows enough about the history of Windows to explain some things. First, why would trackbars send WM_SCROLL messages? Even if they were going for a sort of backward compatibility that would have allowed programs that used scrollbars as trackbars to be upgraded just from resource changes, it seems to me that trackbars could have supported a mode that would have allowed them to send messages of a type that frameworks wouldn't already use for scrolling. Why did they make it so hard to use?
Also, the MSDN documentation says that TB_THUMBPOSITION is "WM_LBUTTONUP following a TB_THUMBTRACK notification message." This message would actually be useful if it were sent when the trackbar's position were updated by the keyboard. Instead, I have to check for every message except TB_THUMBTRACK and see if the position is different from my last recorded position to decide when a lasting adjustment to a thumb position is made. Why didn't they make TB_THUMBPOSITION work for that?

I'm currently running Windows XP on a LAN.
Using the OS ability to share folders and drives, I can enable my collegues to gain access to various parts of my PC. However I don't seem to be able to do this for mapped networked drives:
+ My Documents
- My Computer
+ (C)
+ DVD Drive(D)
+ (F) \\Somewhere\Somehow\
+ (G) \\Somewhere\Somehow\
+ (H) \\Somewhere\Somehow\
+ (I) \\Somewhere\Somehow\
So, from the above example, I can share my 'C' and 'D' drives and even parts of the 'My Documents' folder; but I cannot enable others to see my mapped 'F', 'G' etc, networked drives. Is there anyway that this can be done?

If you can it is a bug in windows, at least by some arguments. Just because you have access to something does not mean you should be allowed to share it. Others who want access should get it from the origional server.
Note that there isn't much consences in the security community over this. However Microsoft appears to have taken the above position, and overall I'd say it is a good decision.

Hello, I have tried unsuccessfully on many sites to find the answer to this so kudos if you have any insight.
I am using schtasks
schtasks /Create /S WS2 /RU Administrator /RP Foobar /SC ONSTART /TN MyTask /TR C:\Admin\RunMe.bat
to create a task on a windows xp workstation remotely that runs a SYSTEM boot up. When I create the task remotely, occasionnaly it works fine, but usually i get a:
"trust relationship for this workstation and the primary domain failed"
error. I believe this might have something to do with the task trying to run before the network is fully set up etc, or somethign funky with active directory. If I run the task immedietly it works fine, only when I try to run the task on start, and only occasionally. The funny thing is, when I create the task I use the local Admin username and password, but I think it may fail because it seems to try to authenticate the credentials that I used to log into the machine to create the task FROM. Anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it?
thanks
steve

On a client machine I've been unable to install any Windows Update since 6/10/04. It's Old Faithful, the trusty Pentium Pro 180MHz machine I built for Christmas '95, freshly reformatted and reborn with a clean installation of Win2K Pro and little else. SP4 was applied over the LAN from the server, MSDE from the CD with SQL Server SP4 installed from the server. Nothing else is on it.
Windows Update reports 9 Critical and 5 Windows Updates available - all fail to install, as a group or separately. Update.log shows that all were downloaded with a CRC error (Error 0x80070017). Repeatedly. It's unlikely to be a memory error, as Windows is running nicely, no quirky behaviors (other than the known ones). And the various utilities that come with it are all working perfectly. The disk drive checks out as undamaged, too.
Any ideas?

You could try downloading the updates from the KB article page (ie the standalone update) and see if they will install.

Roger, just in case there is a memory problem that hasn't raised it's head at a time you were around try MemTest86[^] or DocMemory[^].
Other than that I'll come over and we'll go round and see Billy Boy and get things sorted.

Sounds good to me, Michael. When are you arriving? If you're coming in from the east, tell the pilot to turn left at Las Vegas. I'd come to visit you, but Australia doesn't want me. I've taken the test online, but like everyone else, they don't want anyone over 40.

The one and only time I made it to the US it was via Los Angeles and then on to Boston. So I take it I would have to turn right at Las Vegas.

Can you point me to this online test? I would like to show it to some of the wankers who work in the other departments of our unemployment system.

Hi! You must be sure that you have the necessary rights on the target drive. If its a folder, try right clicking on it if you have R/W access

I can't double check the access permissions cause the PSU on that machine blew up and I haven't gotten the new one yet, but I should have full access. I only have problems executing .NET applications because the location isn't fully trusted and I get security exceptions.

Hi,
WinXP: Try adding the IP address to the trusted sites (security tab) in the internet explorer options tab. Also, add the ip to the wins option in the properities of Network places. WinXP has an unusual amount of security that is good for home use but bad for business uses.

I think I got it fixed, what I did was opened the .Net framework wizards and adjusted the Local Area Zone to Full Trust. (Basically the same idea)

Hi, I am using a Win XP system. Recently there was a problem and I had to upgrade my display driver. After that I could not view any video in Windows MP or real player.I could hear the sound but couldnt see the video.

Hi there gurus
I have a problem: my PSU died a while ago (some may remember this) and when it was replaced it turned out that it had fried the onboard controller of my harddrive as well... Now the hard drive itself is no problem (it's already been replaced) but the data that's on it is. Before I get jeers about backups, they have been made (luckily) so all the "important" stuff has been saved, but all my personal stuff (disposable but lots of work to collect...) is lost. Now my question is this: would I be considered stark raving mad for asking if it's possible to get an identical drive (as far as that is possible) and screwing off the circuit board and fitting it on the other drive? Because I'm pretty much convinced the data itself is fine... Frankly I don't care if it's a crazy question, I'm asking it anyway.
*depressed*
Thanks in advance for any (useful) replies.

Well, its possible and I think its how they do data recovery from damaged systems. I can only see 2 possible places where something could go wrong.
1. The replacement HD has a differnt algorithm for saving/retreiving data and you can't read it
2. You accidently damage the platters during the swap.
Contrary to popular belief the platters aren't in a vacuum. I would say its doable, just don't spend to much money on the identical drive.
