i try to update my windows 2000 pro and it would not do nothing now is there a way to update it a nother way ??? thanks and a nother thing is that i am trying to start a webserver and what would i have to do to get it up and running ???

 

I know what you people think when i say i can't update my windows 2000 pro. my windows 2000 is not hacked nother thing is that i want to do a webserver.........
Thanks a lot

 

I think the problem is that "i try to update my windows 2000 pro and it would not do nothing" doesn't give any idea whatever of exactly what/how you tried to "update" or what happened when you tried.

If you would post details of what you tried and exactly what happened including any error messages (the exact and entire message) you can probably get some help.

 

well when i download the updates it will not move at all and it just stays there and not download anything at all and i don't know what to do really

 

OK. Got it now.

You mean the stuff from Microsoft's update site or any updates from anywhere?

No updates ever or is this a recent problem?

What service pack are you running?

Look in your event logs and see if you find any nasty looking stuff there - especially at around the time you had update failures. If so, post the details of a few.

 

ok i got a few here is one of them>1....Unable to collect the FTP performance statistics. The error code returned by the service is data DWORD 0.

oh yah forgot to add that i have service pack 2 install on this computer maybe i need the rest to make the best of windows 2000 pro

 

From the examples you list, it appears that performance couhter issues are your primary concern.

These failures are usually the result of a missing, not-set-up, or malformed dll for the apps.

There is a nice tool you can use to get information about specific dll settings (including performance counters) on your machine. Free download of EXCTRLST.EXE and a good explanation of how to use it and what it will tell you is Here.

If this isn't the problem, let us know more about exactly what is. Not trying to bust your chops here but I am having a really hard time trying to figure out what you want to do that you can't (or what problem you are trying to solve).

 

Ok Thanks a lot but i got norton utilities 2002 do you think that will help me out some ???
