Of course, according to my experience, your computer is infect with w32.blaster.worm[^]. To solve this problem, try to keep your document away in the safe place. Then go to any PC that is not infect with the virus and download the following files step by step:
1. Download security patch KB823980[^].
2. Download security patch KB824146[^].
3. Download MS03-026 scanner tool[^]. This tool is used to verfiy that you install the above security patch success or not.
4. Donwload Blaster remove tool[^] from norton website.
Then copy all of these files to the infect computer via CDROM. Do not connect your infect computer to the network or the internet. Then try to install the security patch one by one as I order in the list. If it is not install in the normal mode, try to restart your computer in the safe mode and install the security patch one by one follow by the list that I order for you.

Try to use this tool as the last step, it is optional. When the virus was first spread on the interent Microsoft just inform the above security patch. But the last patch also helpful too.

could not launch it again even after i rebotted, the regedit.exe and regedt32.exe don't work till now ,wasn't able to
disconnect i had to manually remove the phone line or restart the computer.windows update could not work.....
That is the symthom that your computer infect with the virus. Remember for further challenges.
Remember that in windows xp, when it infect and after you clean it, it alwasy display report that virus is captured and remove. But in windows 2000 sometime it display, but some time it is not. So after you perform these 4 steps successfully, then try to check that the copy/paste function in windows explorer is working or not... your anti-virus is running or not... if it is working than it mean that your computer is rescure from the virus. Try to run windows update, office update and virus definition update regalurly to protect your computer from virus attack.
Good luck

I did the steps u recommended that is
i downloaded the patches u pointed out in an isolated labtop burned them to
a cd then when i tried to install them it failed then i switched to safe mode and
installed the patches and i ran the scanner tool it says failed to initialize socket or so
but after that i scanned for the worm using the blaster worm removal tool still
no change one thing i noticed after i installed the 2nd patch in windows start
up is a message box saying svchost.exe the program is currently in use or some similar message.
Even after scanning my pc and Norton claims that there is no worm; i can not see
contents of program files and windows in normal mode control panel's add/remove programs
is corrupted, can not open regedit and regedt32, what is happening really ???
i wonder if it is only the blaster worm ???!!!
In the task manager i saw "SWchost.exe" not "svchost.exe" and i killed the process
i also see cool.exe created when i tried to open windows folder what is cool.exe and SWchost.exe???
I have sophos anti virus should i install it instead of norton,should i be installing any
fire walls like zonealarm or what ?? why am i not able to see contents of my folders???

I finally found out the problem m pc is infected with the Dumaru virus and i removed it using the norton and sophos tools but the problems still persist i.e folders not showing contents and so on....
Any further updates

It's possible that the virus has corrupted your files beyond recovery. One last-ditch approach would be to reinstall Win2K on the new drive (to ensure an undamaged configuration) and install your antivirus software on it. Make sure the AV software is fully updated and working correctly. Then shut down and add the old drive as a secondary hard drive. On startup, nothing on that drive should be executed at boot up, so any viruses on it will be inactive. You can then scan the drive and let the AV software repair or delete and infected files there, after which it should be safe to copy the files that survive to the new drive. You can then remove the second drive and trash it.
This assumes, of course, that the old drive is still functional enough to run for a little while. If not, you're probably out of luck.

Because you are using windows 2000 I'm not sure too but if your are using windows xp pro, you should use command SFC /scannow from the command prompt. This command will check your system file and repaire any system file that is corrupt.

Remember that next time if you think that you computer affect with the virus, the most importance thing is search for the virus name. Sometime our anti-virus is just detect the virus but could not clean/delete it. Because some virus need the special method or tool to delete it, you should find any method to detect for the virus name then search it on the internet about the method to clean it.

I have an old Windows NT 4.0 Server system that is finally reaching the limits of its usefulness, and I would like to upgrade it to Server 2003. The Server is currently responsible for the following tasks in my network:
- Domain Controller
- Web Server
- File Server
- Print Server
During the upgrade, I would like to replace the current 60gb drive with a new 160gb drive and a more sensible partition layout, so I'm guessing that an "upgrade" is not really the way to go - I think I'm looking at a clean install.
My biggset problem is how to preserve the existing domain so that clients do not lose their profile settings. Any suggestions on how to perform this upgrade would be very welcome!
Thanks.

If you can not perform an upgrade but want a clean install on the same hardware your only choise is:
Upgrade the NT 4 to win2003.
Install another machine with win2003 and add it as domain controller.
Transfer all responsebilities for the domain to the new server.
Reinstall the original server with win2003, and add it as domain controller, and transfer all responsibilities for the domain to it.
Shut down the temp server, and you'r done

Thanks for the quick reply!
I thought about making a backup domain controller when I was in the shower earlier, but I'd already posted the message!
Fortunately, I have a spare computer that I can use for such a purpose. I think I'll set it up to run alongside the existing server and then slowly move services (eg. web, email, domain control) onto the new box. Eventually I should be able to unplug the original server ad be done.
The current server is actually an old Pentium 2 (333mhz, 256mb), so a slightly newer, more powerful computer might not be a bad idea anyway....

I think this point a little bit difficult do with file sharing. According to my experience, i rarely use one server with multi purpose. Whether you have a new server and configure as additional domain controller, you could only replicate an object in active directory. But you could not move the file from one DC to another DC. Just moving, you could do that but it will lost its permission and you have to reassign the permission to file and folder especially you will have a problem with roaming profile, home direcotry and folder redirection... of each user.

This is the problem, you use one DC to handle many task, especially the file server. This is the most complicate task that you need to handle with. According to my experience, i used to seperate to multi server which handle a difference task. It any server that is down or need to maintenance, it won't impact to the other server. Whether you have a new server and configure as additional domain controller, you could only replicate an object in active directory. But you could not move the file from one DC to another DC.

Anyone know what app controls the special buttons on Inspirons (specifically 8500 but its probably universal) I'm working on my dad's computer and I think I disabled it shutting down anything I didn't recognize. I don't want to run down the list and just run anything. Any help would be appreciated.
[EDIT]Not sure what it was but i think it was DSentry. All I had to do was re-enable it in msconfig and reboot for those that may have the same problem.

I read the book from MCSE training kit Microsoft windows 2000 professional (Published by Microsoft Press). In chapter 11 about network printing it said that in the workgroup environment the printer could handle only 10 concurrent user. That make me think about the printer at my office. Sometime it could not print out, I don't know why but might be become from this issue (insufficient printer memory). My question is, are there any log that record which user print to the specify printer on the network? if it is possible then it is a good way for me to estimate how many time that user print on that printer and easy for me to manage the printer too.

Right click on the My computer on the desktop and click on Property menu, navigate to the Hardware tab and click on Device Manager. Try to find Sound, Video and game controller node and double click on it and right on sound item and click disable. This will disable your sound from the system.

I wish to control LEDs on a bread board through the parallel port using a c++/vc++ program made in windows xp. I tried doing the same thing on windows 98 where it worked but i guess windows xp does not give permissions to access the parallel port for programming. Is it really so?? If yes, then plz suggest a suitable alternative or workaround to this so that i can control LEDs by programming on windows xp.
I'm also interested in knowing how to program the USB & serial ports. Can anyone help me out pls???

As I understand it you will either need to create a XP-compatible driver or find one that already suits your needs and use that.

Windows 2000 and XP does not gives access to parallel port. Alternate is to use a device driver which resides in kernel and gives access to your program. Check out this page:
