I have a strange problem I caused while messing around with media player a while back. I was trying to replace the Media Player executable with the one for version 6 mplayer2. exe since it loads faster.

Memeory Dumps

JMD
Not sure if this is the right place to post this. But. For some reason I'm starting to have memory crashes every few days. It seems like it happens when I surf. I can almost tell when it happens. The surfing becomes slow, and when I click to close the browser, win 2000 pro crashes.

Exchange 2k + Win2k PDC Problem

Atreyu
Greetings: Two boxes, both W2kServer SP2 + every update under the sun. They are both domain controllers, but server 1 was the server used to create the domain, so it's the PDC (although do we still use that term with W2K?).

IE6 problems

TDMThinker
Ok, I have a minor but EXTREMELY annoying problem with IE6. If I have two windows open at once, and switch between them, it takes a brief pause (perhaps 2-3 seconds) to show the new screen. It used to be much faster.

XP Pro eating all my RAM during file transfers

DremNeonBlack
For example, when I want to transfer a large file (400-800Mb) from one partition to another, or when I extract a big file of the CDrom, XP starts eating away at the RAM. Soon it's down to nothing RAM and it recovers some, but soon it's zero again.

No Anti Virus scanners for W2KServer?

hardwarecrazy
I was looking at both McAfee as well as Symantec web sites and it appears that their AV software is meant only for W2K Professional - is it that W2KServer is immune to Virus or what? Can someone clarify please? TIA.
