Hello
This morning I am working on why a Win2K machine locks. Below I have
posted two finds from annoyances.org
I am looking for a few things:
1. Does anyone have training material or title citation for getting a
basic understanding of the windows architecture
so you can make sense of Windows Scripting Host. I have found some
great sites and a couple really good WSH
books but I still feel quite lost. It seems like I need to understand
the "order of events" so to speak in windows architecture
so that I might know WHAT to script. In other words I want to read about
the windows architecture in understandable
overview with some cross links to scripting.
2. Does anyone have the syntax for a .bat file in the startup folder to
start LDAP services manually in WIN 2K.
3. I see by the annoyances post below that MS chose to move video
functions to Kernal 0 for WIN 2K. Considering
the poor quality of some video cards and drivers...the choice seems
dubious. In any event I was wondering if
anyone had a tweak to improve the chances of video not freezing the system
(ie registry tweaks ) given it is in Kernal 0.
Regards
R Stein

Try this: in the Services applet, set LDAP Service to Manual startup; create a
simple .bat file which will start the LDAP Service after a bootup; drop
this .bat
file into the Startup Folder; reboot.

It may be a driver issue rather than a service issue.
The CPU on my Dell latitude latitude was running @100% and it was the video
driver.
MS changed the interface for video on w2k. Now it runs at ring 0 where only
the most
trusted parts of the operating system should live. Apparently MS made a
conscious
decision to trade some kernel security and stability for performance. So
not only
was the video hogging cpu cycles, it was doing it at a higher priority than
my key
strokes. At first glance it looked like everything had frozen. But I
discovered that
if I waited awhile, keystrokes would eventually show up. It's a feature not
a bug ...
