At my work, we run Windows NT. Sometimes, we will get dll corruption issues about twice a month. It's not a big deal, but if we could get a CD to boot to NT, it would be WAY easier to replace the corrupt files. Is this even possible? I am not looking for a ERD... I would like a working NTFS...

No... they are all Windows NT. Thanks for the suggestions... We are not allowed to change the operating system... this is a corporate environment.

Here is some background information... I am trying to help a customer of mine get a hardware key working. It is a key that plugs into the Serial port on a HP Vectra VEi8. It works on other PC's but not this one... I went to a Command line and typed MODE, and it came up with LPT1 and CON. No...

Well... now this sucks again. I rebooted the PC again after posting this last message, and it would start to load XP, then reboot. It would ask if I wanted to start Windows in safe mode or normally, I said normally, and it rebooted again. It did this loop until I set the FSB back to 100...

You guys are THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!! When I changed the FSB setting in BIOS (Motherboard jumper settings were fine), the BIOS would read it as 2100+. Good news, right? No. I got a BSOD on Windows boot up. Upon reboot, I get a POST message saying "System Failed Memory Test" I...

Hello... I have a AMD Athlon XP 2100+ on a A7N8X-Deluxe. HOWEVER, the BIOS and within Windows says that I have a 1500+ running at 1.29 GHz. Can anyone tell me why? What could some problems be? This is a new motherboard (2 months). I have had problems with my PC pretty much since it was...

Thank you for the reply... However, there is no Device Manager in NT. Any other ideas?? Thanks!!!

Hello, I am a helpdesk employee. We restrict executables in our Windows NT environment. Such exe's as install, setup, autorun, etc. are restricted. When they run one of these files, they get a message saying, "This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this...

I got it.... http://support.microsoft.com:80/support/kb/articles/q162/0/59.asp&NoWebContent=1 That did it. Thanks for the replies... Brian

Nope... I removed the file associations, and now it asks if I want to save it or open it. I hit open it, and it opens in the web browser still... Thank you for your help. Do you have any other ideas? I am continuing to try to get this to work, but please reply if you have any ideas. Thanks...

I will try that. Thank you very much!

Hello, I am working on NT 4.0, and when I click on a link to an Excel Spreadsheet in Internet Explorer, it opens automatically in an IE window, and it won't open in Excel. If the link to the spreadsheet is in a frame, the spreadsheet will open in the frame. And no... It is not written to...

I will do that. I am burning a couple CDs now, but I wanted to tell you that I just got a strange BSOD... one I haven't seen before. It had the general BS, but then there was this line: A kernel thread terminated while holding a mutex. The stop code was as follows: 0x4000008a (0x81e52c60...

I use a legit version of EZ CD Creator 5. I have not run the Compatiblity Checking program from the CD. Can you point me in the direction of where to find that? Do I need to boot from the CD, or just run it from the CD in XP? Thank you VERY much!!
