Changing Product Key

miku
Hi Guys, Once Windows is activated is there a way to change the working product key. I just want to see what happens, when you put a wrong product key. Does it ask for activation or what happens. Thanks A.

Weird e-mail problem

webgod
I am running Windows 2000 with SP3 and have been having a weird issue with my e-mail. I can check my e-mail once and only once when my system first starts up. . . I can press send and receive over and over and it will check it fine but as soon as I leave Outlook express it stops working.

IE6...Mozilla...Sun JRE...MS VM... What a mess!!

Curley_Boy
Ever since I installed Sun JRE for Windows and the QuickTime 6 Java plugin. . my browsers (IE 6 & Mozilla 1. 1) have gone wonky. For a start I couldn't use the MS JM for sites that needed it (even after I disabled and uninstalled both plugins).

WMP7 steals focus & ignores my settings

shearerc
I posted this on another forum, but nobody was able to help, so i'm trying my luck here. Using tweakUI under win2k, i checked the Prevent Applications from stealing focus setting. All progs obeyed this rule except Media Player 7.

Shutdown Problems

vader777
I am having an odd problem with Windows 2000. When I tell it to shutdown, it just reboots the computer. I'm wondering if it's a problem with my hardware or its some configuration problem in the software.

Windows 2000 - SP3 Feedback -Post here

hardwarecrazy
1. Looks like the installation is smooth and I did not experience any issues so far, on W2KS. 2. I read somewhere (with a screen shot) that talks about a change in the Control Panel, Add Remove programs that adds something called Set Program Access and Defaults, included in SP3.
