Lately, I've seen several computers that won't map network drives because the net command is "missing". I've checked the path (winnt\system32\net.exe) and it's just not there. Could it be due to a MS patch? Just too many computers to be a coincidence.

Yes the path is there, but no net command in the dir listing.

It appears to have been deleted. When I type "net" at the command prompt it says it is not recognized as an internal or external command. The weird thing is that when I copied the file to a floppy, it did not show up one of the affected pc's even though it shows the space being taken up by the...

I have several Windows 2000 Pro clients that have recently come up with errors mapping network drives due to the net command "dissapearing". The clients are on a domain and you can manually map the drives. I have tried sfc, recovery console, windows 2000 repair, and copying the net.exe from...

won't boot in safe mode.

Windows 2000 Pro machine continually reboots after getting blue screen. Looks like a STOP message on the screen, but it doesn't stay up long enough to read it. Anyone have any ideas how I can stop the rebooting long enough to read the message?

I have joined several win2k pc's to our domain from Novell. Some are running okay, others are running extremely slow. I have uninstalled Novell and associated protocalls with no help in performance. One of the symptoms is when opening up My Computer, the drive icons take a while to display...

thanks every one for the feedback. I'm still unable to make the video work with this laptop and win2k. I'll probably just reinstall winxp. I think it's an injustice when a computer company tells you can't install any operating system you want.

Sorry, I should have been more specific. The Dell laptop in question is an Inspiron 5100. I'm told there's just no W2k drivers for it, but was hoping some one has a solution.

Does any one know of a video driver for a Dell Inspiron laptop with Windows 2000. The card is a ATI Raedon Mobility M7. There are drivers for Windows XP, but our company installs Windows 2000 on all computers. I've searched and searched with no luck. Dell says they just don't have it and ATI...

The local area connection icon will indicate a cable disconnect from time to time. Is there a way to increase the time before it senses a disconnect?

I am getting a lsass.exe system error "Security Accounts Manager initialization failed. Error status:0cc00000078 Please click ok to shut down system and reboot into safe mode. check event log for more detailed information" when I boot up. When I click okay to reboot into safe mode, it...

Thanks for your suggestions. This looks like it's going to work.........Lou
