I managed to create a set of XP Pro boot disks as I couldn't get the XP CD to run and managed to run the repair consol so that I could do both a fixmbr and a fixboot. They both seemed to run successfully but it made no difference at all the system will still not boot. I am now trying to...

Shad007 thanks Microsoft 314503 also recommends this, the problem I have is it won't start from the CD or from a Win XP boot disk.

I read the previous black screen posting and have a similar but more extreme problem. The system was working fine last night. This morning on power up, POST'd normally, I have an audible anouncement of the Operating system starting but then I get a Black screen and a cursor and nothing. I...

The processor is a P4 3.0GHz 800MHz 512KB Cache from Intel product number SL6WK it was sold as a bundle with the motherboard and memory from Watford Electronics (www.savastore.com) There is no visible sign of anything different on the underside of the board but there are some soldered ends in...

Presumably you are talking about FAQ 602-2731 in which case the answer is yes I have thank you, and a number of other posts and other web sites too. That is why I ask the question. Whereas I have found a lot of information relating to the board shorting and that preventing it from booting...

I am trying to upgrade my PC with a new motherboard an MSI 648f Neo, a 3.0Ghz CPU and PC2700 DDR 333MHz dimms. At first I couldn't get anything to run not even the fans. This was most likely down to an additional mounting post that didn't affect the old board. That sorted the fans all run, the...

marcs41 - I am happy I can stop and restart the service I take it it is the Microsoft Exchange POP3 service and not any of the others listed above? Even stopping the modem I can sort out. I think the reason I feel a little reluctant to take either of these steps is because I don't have a clue...

The users run outlook to the exchange server no dial up involved they simply pick up from the server over the LAN. Disabling the modem or removing a service has to be a last resort unless I have first put inplace a replacement connection. Firstly because I will stop them receiving emails, not...

It is definitely a server running MS Windows 2000 server and MS Exchange 2000 server. The client has an email account with demon and they have dialup access which they have been using for sometime. They have been in the old building for the last 7 years. Two months ago we moved them across...

Techy69 thanks for the suggestion. Perhaps you could help fill a gap in my knowledge here. Would an email client actually be running on the server? Wouldn't exchange server be responsible for getting the emails from the host. Or is it that Exchange server effectively has a client...

Thanks for the suggestion, I will check the explorer but I am pretty sure it is not set to dial up as it uses the broadband connection for explorer and only dials up for exchange. I did check the services that were running though and it is running the following that seemed relevant. Microsoft...

Thanks Marc I will check for the POP service. What if I wanted to retain the dial up incase the broadband link was down? Is it possible to have both with broadband taking priority. Pete

I have a new client that runs exchange server 2000, and dials up to get their emails. We have moved them to new offices where they have broadband. The server connects quite happily to the internet but still insists on dialling up to get the emails. We can't seem to locate where it is set to...

The way I tried first was simply to replace the old domain with the new one. It asked me for a recognised user then came up with the path error to the new domain. Then I tried changing them to a workgroup to release them from the old domain. I could get them to see the server by searching for...

I have tried using it using the local admin password but to the same effect. I have also created a user with full permissions that can log on locally too but the result is the same. The PDC is set as the primary DNS but this doesn't help. I don't know if Windows XP Pro handles things...
