No unless your system was modified but by default it shouldn't matter.

You pasted it in your first post!!!! The path is wrong, the right one is %systemroot%\system32\MsDtc. Reboot after completing theese steps.

You could reset the password with offline ntpasswd or disable recovery console asking the administrator password. To disable the recovery console from asking amin password, there 2 ways: 1st way: Boot with a winpe launch regedit and load the system hive (c:\windows\system32\config\software) after selecting when prompted for a name type SOFT then go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFT\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Setup\RecoveryConsole and set the DWORD SecurityLevel value to 1 (if it doesn't exist, you'll need to create it). Select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFT and unload the hive. Reboot on the CD and laucnh the recovery console. 2nd way: XP can boot in safe mode, so can do the regedit thing from there (but you'll need an administrator account). The reg key will be HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Setup\RecoveryConsole.

You can apply the solution to reset msdtc logs. I've done it in the past and it solved the com+ errors and msdtc service not starting. It happen when the logs are corrupted.

That's a good reason to use x64 if you need 8GB.

Right and i would use memtest86 or memtest+.

To my knowledge objfso is depending on WMI to work. And your winpe might not have wmi support.

You could try this: http://www.repairmyword.com/ It might help.

Perhaps, the problem might be seen from other side: removing features of 2003 explorer might increase its speed. Web folders view could be removed but you'll need a lot of work on the registry.

It's like telling to a sportsmen "you can't break a world record"; not everybody can do it but many people want to try. When someone begin in a sport, he can't break a world record but at least he can train and improve and try and retry until...

Its name should be C20. Here is a link: http://www.alliedelec.com/search/productdetail.aspx?SKU=6260023

My bad, I meant an athlon 64 X2 3800+ to be more precise. My apologies to the mods and supermods. Anyway it was a dual core but an athlon 64 instead of an athlon XP (those one are older).

No it is the normal behaviour of the script: it test if the CDROM variable was set before echoing an error. And the CDROM variable will took the last letter of the mounted volumes even if the file doesn't exist.

That's pretty impressive for only a fan. Here is the link to the full article: http://www.popsci.com/diy/article/2010-05/you-built-what-real-iron-man

X 2 doesn't exist ???? As for the photoshop example, it was only 4 years from now and i won't try every new version of all software going out every year. If the new photoshop cs5 is working this well, i guess i'll have to try it when i'll need to edit picture (about 1 time every two years). But anyone can try. That's the point. You need to explain how you can create hotfix with sysinternals tools or anything else without source code of the flawed dll/exe. That would be great to know this.

If you removed swenum.sys, you'll probably get problems later. I would try MSZIP compression as it is the default MS compression.

Please be more precise: How those vpn users connect to the vpn server ? Through internet ? If they don't have internet connectivity, is that after connecting to vpn or before ? To share internet, there aren't many possibilities: it's either routing (with nat or not) or proxying (with a proxy like squid or isa... ).

Sorry if i reply totally off topic but i would use vmware, or other virtual solution to handle what you're trying to do. If you install NT4 on fat16 or NTFS partition then there is no problem.

@coffeefiend I said i didn't tried recent version but it was at least a CS version perhaps a CS2 but i am not sure. It was too complex and too slow for my needs (i had at this time an athlon XP dual core, they were selling for something like 6 month), so i thought it would run correctly. Of course the recent versions could be a lot better and i hope so, and as i already said, i don't need this kind of software often and will stay with a light tool (1Go of space on hard drive (CS5 requirement), that's pretty big for an application and no i don't have a hard drive space problem, i have more than 20TB). That's your choice, i am not selling you open source application (as it's free). You don't like open source, it's okay if you don't use it. I am not that much into Linux. For you to know: 2.2 kernel were supported at least till 2004 as the lastest kernel 2.2.26 was released on 24/02/2004. As i said before: and ten years is great.And as it seems you didn't read this: I think you should re-think that comment. My lastest motherboard is very old (one month): It is a DFI CP330-NRM for cpu I7 720QM. My oldest computer running (my nas) is a P4 2.4G and i will replace its motherboard soon. I renew my computers parts every year at most. That's a pretty good idea, i'll try it at work: we have clients (in the food business), they are still using a supported application (for orders) which only run on NT4. Replacing the OS would cost them a lot more than just a 2003 (they have volume license) or a 2008 and the new hardware to support it. They'll have to replace all client application and it take a long time to replace it on all their sellers computers. Virtualizing the server would only remove the old hardware server but the unsupported NT4 would still run( probably better and faster). They might loose orders or even clients when upgrading all. I can understand their points. The new application can't work with the old one. The only way around would be buying new computers for the sellers, installing the new application on it and installing the new server. Do some tests and then replace all at once. Isn't that a little overkill for a little NT4 and how much would that cost ? That's the real world. @cluberti Yes, with a 2003 r2 terminal servers farm, end user are randomly disconnected and we found a corruption of the terminal server directory database. Even after purging the database (and purging is not a real solution), there were still problems but a little less side effects so now we are purging the database and rebooting the servers every week. For other part, i agree that Microsoft don't want to open old OS source because they'll loose money: people (like coffeefiend ) might not buy their product any more. I never said to give it for free to third party companies.

Two things: - First be very carefull when buying a lcd monitor, if you don't choose the same model and sometime series than the one reviewed, you might be very surprised it might be a lot better (if you're lucky) or worse. - It has good specs and a 3 years waranty (but i read a review stating that the blacklight was only under 1 year waranty). It is a good buy for the price. If you don't want to spend more that's the one. Its reviewed power consuption was 21W which is very very low for this size.

No i didn't bother to try last photoshop as i don't need it and don't own it (i could have downloaded a trial version). If i needed to improve picture or to edit photo, i would go for paint shop pro as it is much lighter and easier (for me of course) to handle. As for the kind of people who don't buy hardware, they sometimes want to buy software but can't most of the time because their hardware isn't supported. As for open source, of course they have sponsors, and for their quality and support i totally disagree with you because at least you don't pay for it. When you buy a software and after one month it happen it isn't working in some cases, you'll ask for support and sometimes you don't get any. We had cases at work where Microsoft didn't found any solution... just making us wait until we got tired of asking them. With open source, at least people don't sell you something they are not able to do and if you are a little experienced, you'll be able to find a solution yourself. Another example is the support for windows 2000 (it is ending soon), the people who bought windows 2000 didn't buy it for the bugs and the security flaws. So, after the end of the 2000 support, if a big flaw is discovered and exploited by something like a new conficker, there should not be an hotfix. It became normal that bugs and flaws aren't fixed and there you can't create a proper hotfix without the sources... I can understand that like a waranty on hardware, you can't support software for ever (for hardware, there is third party companies who don't care how old servers are) but then Microsoft should either open the old source code not supported or at least transfer it to other companies willing to do it. Reverse engineering isn't an easy task and isn't legal either. And this behaviour is called "abuse of dominance".

There is also firefox and the CTRL++ (zoom function).

I didn't knew we could use native powershell command to change registry permissions. That's very interesting.

I agree with puntoMX, i 'd choose a brand i trust and with a good waranty (on site exchange if available). My favorite brand for lcd monitor is samsung but those are little more expensive on newegg.
