Note that there are many other posts on the internet about STOP 0x124 errors when running the Nvidia Forceware drivers with higher end (8xxx) cards - The fix was use the WHQL driver 100.65. Also, it was mentioned that having Creative drivers installed makes it worse, for what it's worth. The device drivers causing this, from the looks of your system, are also Nvidia drivers. Try copying the dump files to a location in your my documents folder by opening up a command prompt as administrator, and using the copy command from there.

Are you certain the help and support service is running?

LOL

No offense, but if you're a premier customer and pay for support you should already know that you can go to the premier site and get hotfixes without creating a case. If you're just talking about paying for per-incident support without an actual support contract or SA, you can skip that as well and just go here: http://support.microsoft.com/gp/CUHotFix_LandingPage_Request

@techtype and @fizban2 - you guys are missing the obvious reason this is failing!!! The OP is using pop3. instead of pop. as his POP3 server - pop3.registeredsite.com doesn't resolve, but pop.registeredsite.com does. And it's in the help documents on the site that he should be using pop.registeredsite.com as his incoming POP3 server for his client - note the screenshot!!!

Service packs are always cumulative.

I'm assuming that you've already read this and this. Is there any particular reason you're using SSL instead of IPSEC?

Hmmm... assuming registeredsite.com is your hosting provider: http://support.interland.com/PublicResourc...aq.asp?faqid=83 From their site: That doesn't look like the POP server name you configured.

The problem with those products isn't the quality of scanning or finding viruses (both rate pretty high on tests in detection/clean rates), it's the bload and other issues that come with them that turns people off. But as a previous poster said, he doesn't mind the boot time slowdown he gets with McAfee because he feels comfortable with it keeping him as safe as possible, which McAfee can do (just, slowly ).

Look at the properties of the TCP protocol on the local area connection listed in the networking applet in the control panel, and see if you have the default gateway property configured.

If you have a default gateway configured on the internal (static) NIC, please remove it and let us know if it works.

It's the same behavior as previous versions of the OS - if there's only one option in the entire menu, why even provide the menu when you HAVE to choose the only option listed to boot the machine?

So, when you say things are slow, what do you mean? Is it that it takes a long time to copy files between folders on the same volume, or between hard drives? Is it slow copying files to another machine on the network (and define slow compared to....)? One thing you can do is try things in safe mode w/ networking - does the problem occur there?

What the.... @bober, BITS only controls bandwidth utilization by applications that already use BITS, and that's controlled at the download location only, not the sending location. This will absolutely not help you.

I've tried to change this in the past, but apparently IPB doesn't run well on Windows .

If it starts in safe mode but still won't start in regular Windows boot even after running msconfig and disabling all non-Microsoft startup items and services (note that "diagnostic mode" doesn't do all of these), then it's a kernel-mode driver keeping you from booting, not a service. At that point, I would uninstall all unnecessary audio, video, network, etc. devices on the box in device manager, uninstall any 3rd party firewall and backup software, and uninstall antivirus and antispyware software as well (all contain kernel-mode drivers). Reboot, and if it comes up, upgrade ALL hardware device drivers possible, and reboot again to see if things still work. If you're still good here, reinstall any software that was uninstalled, one at a time (reboot between) until things "just work", or until you find which one causes the hang.

Note that NT4's USB support is spotty at best, and it has an absolutely HORRID track record for mice via USB (they were always the hardest to get working). I'm pretty sure you may be relegated to W2K if you need mouse support on that box, especially with a legacy-free PC. Your only hope is to find an actual USB mouse, and a vendor with USB drivers that work in NT and load the proper usbhid driver.

According to the spec, you need to be able to create a GPT disk, _AND_ your controller must support the SCSI3 9Eh, 88h, 8Ah, 8Fh, and 07h (mostly for SANs with block reassignment capabilities) commands (not all do). Also, according to that page, the controller must support the new disk API and return codes as well - otherwise you'll need to use an MBR disk, which is limited to 2TB for an NTFS volume. Not to mention, can you imagine what would happen if you needed to run chkdisk on a volume 2TB (or larger) in size? I'd still recommend volume mount points, even if your controller supports GPT disks and you have the disk space to use .

A basic disk can be 2TB in size - anything larger does need to be dynamic, yes.

There's nothing wrong with dynamic disks specifically, but there is one drawback - instead of a hardware controller containing the data regarding the array created, the OS partition does. If you lose the OS partition, you lose the arrays it contained as well (well, they can be recovered if you want to take the time and have another machine to use). If you use dynamic disks, just make sure you're VERY careful about the backups you take, both of the data on the dynamic volume, and also of the OS and it's system state data.

This thread should probably not continue. I think it's safe to say that US government employees should not be looking to relax security on US government-owned machines.

The error has nothing to do with memory, but TLS space in the process space. Something is running you out of it - have you tried msconfig/autoruns to disable everything non-Microsoft, or trying this in safe mode? It sounds like something with a global hook on your machine is causing this, because unless you're opening and closing Word a few hundred times in a small amount of time, you shouldn't be seeing that at all.

Assuming XP is installed to C:\Windows, it looks like (from the version of the file listed, the 6.0.16386 version of deskpr.h1s) the Kapersky avp.exe process attempted to read a file from the Vista install, and failed to do so with a security audit warning. I'm not sure how normal it is, but it looks like either you are logged on as administrator when it happens, or the avp.exe binary is running as the administrator account. Hard to say if it's "bad" or not, but usually a failure audit from an A/V package happens when it's scanning your drives, and if it cannot access a file (or you have auditing enabled to capture failed read access), this can happen. It doesn't look like a problem, honestly.

You might also want to see what happens in a different machine with a different drive, too - if it follows the discs, you likely have a problem with those - especially if you can make a disc elsewhere to see if it works fine on other machines and whether or not it works on your Vista and/or Mac boxes, which would be another good test.
