Recently, my Windows 2003 Server started giving me 404 pages for everthing HTTP; and I mean everything. FTP works just fine. I uninstalled some software that a friend of mine installed, and now I get "Service Unavailable" in big bold letters on the screen, with no error number associated with it. I'm not sure what to do, to be honest. I'll keep playing with things, but it happened Friday during the day, and I'm sure that no one was using it on Friday.
Previously I have been doing work that requires me to unplug my network connection and I need to check my IP address each time I plug it in again. I guess it's not set for static IP.Anyways to do this I usually go into Command Prompt and type 'ipconfig'Now however I just get "'ipconfig' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file".The directory is the same as its always been, I can change it but it doesn't seem to matter what it is.I've checked many other posts and is there something possibly wrong with my PATH variable? I used the command 'echo %PATH%' and it works, the list it gives is very garbled however.
when I give the command gmake.exe win32 where win32 is the target destination.It throws the following error: gmake target=WIN32 DIRECTORY=win32 portable copyrite headrlib argfile postlinkgmake[1]: Entering directory `C:/optv_sdk32_gnu_cd'perl utils/check_dir.pl portable/win32 gmake --no-print-directory -C portable WI N32'gmake' is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file.need to have read write permission for the win32 directory as rite now it shows as read only.
I have looked at the answers you have given for this subject, and none seem to apply to me. I lost my boot disks in the hurricane, and my son has somehow changed all the passwords, including the administrator one, and then locked the computer. When I reboot, even in safe mode, I come immediately to the "Control-Alt-Delete" screen. We have tried every password we could think of, and the users now just get the error that we've been locked out. I have tried every Administrator password I would have set, including no password at all, to no avail. So I cannot get to a command prompt even from Safe Mode.
Honestly, I would be happy to just reformat, but I can't even get to the DOS prompt, and I don't have a DOS reboot disk for this computer (lost too!). No other computers are running that version of XP, so I can't make one from one of those either.
At work today I was running a program in windows by typing:> clustalw.exe file.txtat the command prompt. On this computer, clustal.exe takes file.txt as an argument, processes it, and exits. I tried doing the same thing on my home computer (also windows XP) and it says:"/file.txt" is not an option.
I would like to know if this can be done in win xp environment. say I have a folder, A, of pictures only and they all have file extensions jpg eg abc.jpg, xyz.jpg. say I have a second folder, B, which contains all the files of A(if you ignore extensions) and more(but all are pictures.) But all the files in B has extensions NEF instead of jpg eg abc.NEF, efg.NEF, xyz.NEF. My idea is to extract all the files from B that has the same the name as A(ignoring extensions) and either move or copy to a separate folder ie if A contains abc.jpg, xyz.jpg then abc.NEF and xyz.NEF will be extracted and moved/copied to a new folder. I'm not sure where to start. is there a program out there that can do this? or there's a special command to type at the command prompt?
I noticed a lot of services running under one of my svchost.exe processes when I ran the "tasklist /svc" command in the Command Prompt.Here's what I got: AudioSrv, BITS, Browser, CryptSvc, DHCP, dmserver, ERSvc, EventSystem, FastUserSwitchingCompatibilty, helpsvc, HidServ, lanmanserver, lanmanworkstation, Netman, Nla, RasMan, Schedule, seclogon, SENS, SharedAccess, ShellHWDetection, srservice, TapiSrv, Themes, TrkWks, W32Time, winmgmt, wscsvc, wuaserv, WZCSVC I'm not at all sure if any of those are real threats
In a not updated Version of Windows XP you can run (Start-run) "start"command at the Run dialog just typing it, when you update windows andwrite the same "start" into Run dialog Windows shows a error message >Windows cannot find `start`. Make sure you typed the name correctly,and then try again. To search for the file, click the Start button, andthen click Search.If you are in CMD the `start` command works fine but the problem is thein Run dialog windows doesn’t recognize it ?
I've seen another post somewhere and someone else had this problem, but I haven't found a solution. We're using WXP Pro, SP2. After doing a repair install (the other person just had it after using Windows Update), at logon, after entering the correct, AND VALID, password either for a user Or the Administrator, Windows Logon displays the following Logon Message in a box: "!The system cannot log you on due to the following error: "The program issued a command but the command length is incorrect. "Please try again or consult your administrator."
No matter how many times logon is attempted, or with what account, the message continues to be issued. Thus, NO ONE can logon to the GUI. The Recovery Console can be used to logon as Administrator, but no password is requested even though there is one in place. I've searched the MSKB but didn't find any reference. Implementing "Last known good configuration" does not fix the problem.
I have question about Microsoft XP, I have three computers with Win XP.When I go to Start => Run. Now question is How can i enable the smart words select option in that Run window. Apart from 3 computers, 2 has that smart word select option enable. while the last one i have to type the whole string again and again.
I tried to run MS-DOS 6.22 from a dvd but when it loads up i get the following screen: CD-ROM Device Driver for IDE (Four Channels Supported) (C)Copyright Oak Technology Inc. 1993 - 1996 Driver Version :V340 Device Name :BANANA No drives found, aborting installation Device driver not Found: 'BANANA'. No valid CDROM device drivers selected A:> I want to run a program that is on my C drive, i tried to find out how to change drives from A to C but i cant find anything that will work.
My question is: In Win XP Pro SP2, is there a reboot command (executable) in the Windows (or any other) folder? If so, would you please tell me where it is. I would like to use the task scheduler to reboot the computer at the start of each day, and hopefully without going through a lot of hoops.
I have Windows XP on my computer, and when I try to ping something through the command prompt (command.com), this shows up:Running tracert also has the same problem.If I try running ping or tracert through cmd.exe, it stalls and doesn't do anything. I have to close the program because it doesn't respond.I can use ipconfig in both cmd.exe and command.com. Do I have a virus on my computer, or is there a way to repair the command prompt?
I have created a command file called Runinstall.cmd in C: I put these lines in Runinstall.cmd to call another command file (Install.cmd) in different location,the Runinstall.cmd can call the Install.cmd in different location , but some silly things occur.I use Install.cmd to install software programmes.As the installers or items are in the same directory as the Install.cmd, I can just specify the file names without specifying the path of the files in the Install.cmd.
Every time I start up windows cmd.exe opens up and the command to shut down is made and it shuts down. I have temporarily solved this problem by renaming cmd.exe just to another name of cmg.exe so that it cannot be opened but I do run batch programs so have to keep changing the name when required. Any suggestions would be helpful as to sort this out.
I'm using XP Prof. at work. When I clear the history, etc. in Internet Options, it does not erase the memory in the "Run" command uner "Start." How can I erase that memory?
When I attempt to run command I get a messagebox titled, "16 bit MS-DOS Subsystem". The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application.I know you get this when you try to run a 16 bit dos app on XP, but I don't want to do that. I just want to open the command prompt. The only thing I cna think of is that a few weeks back I installed a MS-DOS emulator that didn't work, and then I uninstalled it.
I was cleaning virus and spyware from a friends computer, and when all was done, the Run command is now missing not only from the Start menu, but also from the Advance Properties to be able to turn it on and off. I noticed in the registry entry HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsShellNoRoamMUICache, the key for Run Command was missing, so I created it ("@shell32.dll,-30483"="Run command" REG_SZ)hoping that would solve it, but still it is missing. I re-ran XP SP2, no luck. I installed the free version of Registry Mechanic, but that didn't fix it (though there were things only the full version would fix). I found a reference to this on the site for Prevx1 saying this occurs when McAfee (which was used) only fixes a particular virus half-way, and that Prevx1 would fix it completely. It didn't.
I can't seem to run the setup.exe command. I don't know if it had to do with the recent virus that I had. I'm still using Windows XP. What happens is when I try to enter setup.exe in the run menu screen I get a message, "Please go to the control panel and install and configure system components."
Just built up a new computer. Installed Windows XP Home SP3. Installed fine but couldn't get online. Found out I needed to install the drivers from the motherboard install disk. It installs the drivers but then it has to reboot to finish. When it reboots it goes to a command line promt to make a raid disk. Problem is that I don't have a floppy disk drive in the computer. (Come on, I didn't think ppl even used em anymore.) If I try to take the CD out and run windows, It gets to the XP load up screen then restarts. Unless I run it in safe mode. My question is this:Is there a command i can use in that prompt to save the Raid Disk info to another drive or port. Like a USB port or External Floppy Drive?
I am running xp on my home 'puter (sony vaio a-290) & an unable to use the cmd prompt.I can open the cmd prompt now ( it used to flash & then disappear not so long ago) but am unable to type anything in it. Very frustratingThe command prompt is almost equally frustrating. Altho it allows me to type & run an ipconfig, for some bizarre reason, it will not allow me to ping anything. If I type ping & then an ip or address, when I press enter, the command prompt closes.
I received a Fujitsu Amilo, 80GB notepad running WinXP.
I'm trying to partition the disc into 4v20GB drives. NOw I have tried to use the Windows Doc Management facility - it does not work! You know, when you right click on the Primary partion (there is one only partition shown - 79GB) but, previously with previous computers, when you right click, the sub-menu that appears has a 'make new partition' selection. With this computer, when I right click, that selection is greyed out and unavailable. Now I must explain that the suppliers of this computer did not supply the original Windows didk but rather what they call a 'Recovery disk' What I assume is that this 'Recovery' disk does not supply the partitioning facility.
