Safe mode hangs in 2k

videobruce
Running 2k w/sp4 I can't boot into safe mode. It hangs at the splash screen with the black screen and the 4 safe mode's in the corners. Regular boots are fine! Sounds backwards to me. Suppose to hang on a normal boot! Ideas?.

Unlock workstation without closing session

sue_brighton
For WinNT, Win2000, and WinXP, when a workstation is locked, nobody but the person who locked that station (not even an admin) can unlock the station. When an administator tries to unlock the station, the session will close immediately shutting down all the applications that are currently running on the system.

MSN Premium - Worth it?

Jedi Master
My sister in law was offered a free upgrade by her ISP to MSN Premium (currently has MSN 8). Her kids could benefit from the online version of Encarta. Is the upgrade worthwhile, any known issues/bugs/concerns? Thanx!.

ENABLE ActiveX in IE

Dogers
This is driving me nuts now - on NT4 machine, IE6 seems to have had ActiveX disabled, yet I dont see how, as the IE security options show it firmly enabled! Everything that uses ActiveX on the system (programs other than IE, not notably IE itself, for things like flash, pdfs, etc) all come up with the message sayin ...

I just redid 2 of my dad's PC's, both in XP Pro, & I like to setup 2 different accounts - an admin account & a user account. They're supposed to only use the admin account when they want to install a new program or make a system change, etc; etc.
