That was the answer...or lead to the answer. I was able to copy my "new" and the bogus ports (Both worked) over the ones maked as busy.

Deleting the device and resetting plug and play in bios has the same result. The OS is Windows 2000.

I re-added a communication card to my system,when the card was installed It added two additional serial ports instead of reusing com5 and com6. I have deleted the previous comports from device manager and even from the registry, but still cannot recover the older com values. The previous...

I ran into something like that with Windows 2K and IE. What I found is in thread608-912432

The solution was to turn off boot optimization with MMC. This worked good. Adding the additional "\" did not seem to make any difference. The "Always wait till network....." local policy setting is retained after sysprep. "Autostarting USMT is the bomb", Upgrades and installs are almost...

The path is "\\server\scripts\migrate.cmd options" so I shoud try "\\\\server\\scripts\migrate.cmd options"?

The program needs to run on the server. It calls USMT and saves the data on the server before a migration. Is there a way to turn off the Optomization?

Is there a timing issue in Widows XP (SP2) when starting a program with: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run? The only unique thing about the program is resides on a server, not the local workstation. The program runs just fine from a command prompt after the system has booted...

I Have a client server application that exist on a customers site. I do not have control over group policies as customer IT departments are very territorial (Rightfully so, since they are responsible to their companies). I only really have control over the workstations during installs and...

I am migrating from one XP setup to another using USMT. I want to force the firewall on, which I can do with netfw.inf, However, when the USMT restore completes the settings from netfw.inf are overwritten, turning off the firewall. The USMT documentation says that only the "Internet Connection...

O.K., figured it out on my own. MSDE with SP4 installed will no longer change login modes on the fly. Eventhough the database said it was in mixed mode, it was not. Mixed mode does not take affect till it restarts.

I have a new MSDE database with SP4. I have configured it with a complex password (No choice). The problem I am running into is that I cannot login to the database as SA. I receive an error that SA is not associated with a trusted SQL Server Connection. I do have mixed mode set (Verified...

My next step was to delete cookies then to turn off third party browser extensions...neither fixed the problem.... Found a couple of registry fix files and combined and shrank them to update only HKcurrent user IE setting......Fixed the problem...here is the resultant file. Currentuser.reg...

I have one account on a windows 2000 PC that IE does not work (goes right straight to "Do I want to send message to MS" and restart IE). IE works on the other 3 accounts on this pc and netscape works on this account. Error Log message: iexplore.exe, 6.0.2800.1106, shell32.dll, 5.0.3900.6922...

Hello, We were able to get this to work when we changed the Performance Monitor and Alerts "Service" to log on as Domain admin. We still received an error that the log couldn't start, but, the Icon then turned green and data was dumped data to the log. We were monitoring Win2k...
