Sound in DOS under VMware ?

CeRbErO
Hey. I just installed VMWare evaluation, just to be able to play Day of the Tentacle. But I have a problem. I have gotten the sound to work on the virtual machine, which runs Win98 SE, but in DOTT, it doesn't work.

Does running ftp server = running IIS server?

Ron_Jeremy
First off, I'd like to apologise for my ignorance, as this will undoubtedly sound like stoopid questions to some of you. I will try to be clear & provide as much info as possible (probably much non-related info too, sorry) I installed W2K Adv Server at home.

Allow users to access Word

bre
I have Win 2000 pro installed with 3 computers networked. I installed Word on my son's computer while I was logged on as Admin. When he logs on with his userid, he cannot get at it. How do I make it so he can use Word on his PC? I am a complete idiot when it comes to Win 2000, so please give simple instructions.

Undeletable files in recycle bin

mabuhay
I've got a Win2k server; recycle bin indicates that there are files in it. However, when I open it, there are no files visible, no files marked as hidden files. When I empty recycle bin, it asks if I want to delete 29 files (although none show up).

Everybody empty their pockets....Somebody stole my IIS !!!

Klark
With my incredible ability to constanly screw-up good things, I have now lost a good, close friend. . . . my IIS. I was foolin' around with Add/Remove Windows Components, like a dumba*s, and now my IIS has either went to lunch, resigned his position, or booked a flight to the Bahamas for some well deserved RnR.

I need to be able to instruct a computer novice how to determine their username, i. e. the name replacing Administrator in C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator. What is the simplest way to do this.

LesBrown
I have a PC at home and another at work. No problem at home as I use win 95 but at work it is NT. AOL is not supported in the UK on NT. However, as a previous beta tester for AOL 6 I found that the AOL 6 BETA did work on NT quite well.

SnapperOne
For no apparent reason, Norton Anti-Virus 2000 version 6. 0 will stop at 16% of completion no matter what I do. Win2000Pro's error report simply says, NAVWNT. EXE is no longer running. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program twice with no change.
