Weird thing is happening to one of the Win 2000 workstation. When I right click on WINNT folder and choose properties - the size shows 15.xx GB. When I go into to WINNT folder and select all files and folder (including hidden), and choose properties, the size shows only 2.xx GB. anyone knows how to find out the difference? I need free up some HDD space.

So I put a new one in, got my good ol' win2k disk out, and went to install it. Okay, so I've reformatted my hard drive, ran set up, and then I get to the "Windows will reboot in 15 seconds" crap.
Windows 2000 installation starts all over! It shows that there is in fact the WINNT folder installed on the hard drive, but it won't seem to get to the next step of setup. I tried chaning my boot order, still nothing. I remember I had this problem before, but I forgot how I resolved it. If I change the boot order priority to Hard Drive first, I get stuck in limbo. Nothing happens... I don't remember how I fixed it the first tim

I do have a problem with this laptop in that the first time I turn it on, it freezes at the windows splash screen and I have to turn it off and on again before it boots. This used to happen only when I used the modem, but now it's daily.

View 11 Replies View RelatedI am using an elderly 3M LCD projection panel on an overhead prjector for big screen Tv, driven by XP pro SP3. The panel has no controls for vertical/horizontal size and whatever monitor is used, an OS desktop fills the screen by default. I can resize the window for the TV viewing program in the normal way,just filling my projection screen, but the XP desktop is far too large.Does anyone know of a way to change the physical size of the desktop (including the taskbar) so that it sits in the LCD screen with a blank border all around, or maybe even make it custom resizeable as in a program window ( without changing the resolution)?
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen I right click a file to view it's properties there are two different values shown: one for file "size" and the other for "size on disk". The second value is always larger. Could someone please explain what the difference is because I'm in the process of allocating space for backed up user data on a network share and I need to multiply the average file size by the number of users to get an estimate of how much space to allocate to that share.

View 1 Replies View RelatedAm I right in thinking that they are both pretty similar except that server has support for multiple processors and extra network related tools and facilities. The reason I ask is that if a piece of software works on Windows 2000 server, is it extremely likely that it will work on Windows 2000 professional too? As a bit of background information: I work for a small company which supplies temperature monitoring equipment which needs to be networked. I've been told that it has been tested on Windows 2000 server but not on Window 2000 professional.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a recurring problem on Folder Views / Folder Types that has been bugging me for a long time. You can customize a folder with a "folder type" - Documents, Pictures, Music, Video, etc - which comes with a default view and a list of default attributes most relevant to the type (artist and album title for music, dimension for video, etc). You can also setup so that the settings are "memorized". However, the memory seems to be quite short term for some of my folders. They tend to randomly reset themselves and there seems to be a consistent but unrecognizable pattern. For example, my "My Documents" folder is always changed to a pictures folder, while some of my music folders are changed to video
