Is there a maximum number of handles that any one process can use on NT (2000/XP) before the system collapses under the strain? I am investigating what looks like a printer driver handle leak - SPOOLSV.EXE is showing ... gasp ... 19,000+ handles (via Task Manager) and that cannot be right. A customer is having the same problem but they are also seeing weird Runtime Errors displayed (from which application is anyones guess), etc.
Handles are a finite resource right?

I need a book/document/article/website that could detail (regardless of the programming language, if required for examples) how the Windows operating system exactly works internally.
Is there such a thing? I believe I cannot become a better programmer until I start understanding this: how the OS I'm coding for is actually behaving/responding to this code.

Inside Windows 2000, by David Solomon and Mark Russinovich, MS Press 2000.

This book mostly covers the basics: processes, threads, memory management, jobs, file systems, networking. It doesn't have much GUI material.

Looks good, Mike. I was going to recommend Matt Pietrek's Windows Internals but was sorry to find that he has never updated it since 1993. It was an outstanding work in its day, but long superseded.

While spelunking on this server (which I've rebuilt a couple of times) I've located old .dbx files in old Administrator folders. I'd like to consolidate them all into the current Administrator (.001) folder and delete most of the stuff in them. Altogether they're using 1/2 GB of disk space that could be put to better use. My thought is to rename them all (as I believe each .dbx file corresponds to a folder), then either copy them to the current Admin folder, or use the import function in OE to grab them from the old Admin folders.
Which process will work best, if either of them will work at all? I'd delete them all, but there are some email registration confirmations I'd like to recover from them before I do. Thanks for any tips, warnings, references!

When I re-installed everything I always copied my Outlook Express data files with Explorer, then re-installed everything, ran OE once (to get the Identities folder created) and then put the old files in place again.
This always worked fine. I just don't know about the renaming thing you want to do. Using the import wizard will cause less trouble, but I suggest you rename and copy one file to see if it's working, then do all the rest because putting the data back this way will be faster.

Once i used GFlags.exe to enable win32 debugging my system not restarting. It hangs before the restart is complete. ie, blue screen for hours.., 4 hours passed when i am writing this message.

Do you have win XP/2003? Try last working configuation or put one back with the recovery console...

"The caption buttons for close, restore, minimize, scroll up & scroll down have some problem. They don't look like standard buttons. These all buttons are shown with some nos. eg. 4, 5, 3, 9..... and so on. This happens to all the open windows in computer.
In total if we can say that the five buttons have lost their standard symbols and appears with some garbage number for all opened windows.
The appearance in display properties is set to windows standard as well as there are not corrupted font in windows system. Win.ini and System.ini is also properly checked and there is no any problem found in the same."

Check free system resources and ... the Marlett font (which is mostly hidden but not difficult to find IF you still have it)

I've been googling all day long trying to find a novell client for Redhat. I stumbled on the NovelClient, but that keeps giving me errors, and i haven't gotten a response from anyone yet on the forums.
Does anyone out there know of a descent Novel Client they've used in linux? All im looking to do is copy some files over onto a mounted drive here in linux from novel.

Would this[^] be of any help? Once you're done, you can uninstall it - it is a beta version, after all.

well, i noticed that, but the 249MB download size turned me off, as im on lowly dsl here at work. Plus, thats got a whole lotta extra baggage. I suppose i could let it download overnight...
i think i was looking more for something on the simpler side, heh, but i suppose this will have to do.

Hi,
is this problem only from some computers or from many?
which network connection do you have (Shared,Switched,Routed)?
is the server in the same subnet as the clients with the problem?
have you many logon scripts running?
is this with all users or some accounts?
have you server based profiles? might be corupted?
is the problem reproduce able wenn the workstation is rebooted/ runs some time/you log off and log on again?
does the name resolution goes well? might be wins?
HtH
regards
Patrick

The problem only occurs with some computers on your network. I'd go and check these machines first instead of thinking there's something wrong with your server...

Are the clients using the PDC as DNS server?
XP clients need to use the PDC for DNS otherwise you will get the symptom you described.
Configure the server DNS as a forwarder and then add your zone as AD integrated.
Atleast this worked at our shop for the same type of problem.
(W2K client -> W2K server never had any problem though.)
And if the paths that I have followed/have tread against the flow/there is no need for sorrow
I am coming home
