Cleartype and IE

Denver_80203
I have cleartype enabled on my XP machine. It looks great and really does read easier. My preferred font looks something like Arial. In IE I have to choose User defined from the View, Encoding drop down.

FCB Unavailable ERROR

GmanAZ
I recently migrated some DOS programs from NT 4. 0 to Win2000 Pro. When I execute them in a DOS shell, I get the following error: FCB Unavailable Suspecting the problem was due to reduced DOS support in Windows 2000/XP, I tried the same program under XP-Pro and it worked fine.

Diskeeper 6 server finish in one pass

Gambler FEX online
Is there a way to get diskeeper 6 server to finish the defrag in one pass? Some partitions it defrags just a little and quits. If I was to restart it everytime until it was done, I would sit there for hours.
