Is there a clever way to "chain" scheduled tasks? I have a series of tasks I need to run but each varies widely, at any given time, as to how...
Thanks and done. (and that should have been shudder not shutter). The results are inconclusive as I have not had time to wring it out...
<shutter> If you say so. Playing with the registry makes me nervous. :-)
I forgot to answer the first question. There is nothing in the event log at the time of the failures.
Thanks for the reply. I defrag weekly. Odd? I don't have IoPageLockLimit in that path.
Thanks. Yes, SP1 is installed.
Thanks for the reply. I don't know how much detail you want but for starters it is an AMD 850 with 512MB. I do not know what 'pagefile' is so it...
I am having a very odd problem with my hard drive that causes XP to freeze (I thought XP was supposed to end these kinds of things). I have a...

No, I was getting SP1 via MS on-line update. I have no idea what recovery console is so no I did not install it. What I have is a Stomp...
Thanks but I was hoping for a trick more immediate. As I said originally my CD is a few days away by mail.
Thanks for the replies. Maybe someone else will weigh in that has done what I'm attempting.
Thank you for the reply but I guess I am just dense today and apologize. When you say "if it is not installed" I don't know what "it" refers to....
It just occurred to me. That can't work. NTFS file system. RATS!!!
Thanks for the reply. I thought it was F8 but it didn't seem to work. I guess I just wasn't hitting it at the right time. In any case I just held...
Am I *******? I was in the process of installing SP1 when XP crashed. Now the machine goes into a boot loop. My install CD is a couple of days...
