i just installed win 2000 adv server, i need help configuring it like msconfig for windows xp, whats the one for the adv server? any help is greaty appriated,

None of the Windows NT5 (2000,Server,Advanced Server, Datacenter) come with msconfig like XP/Net but theres a few ways you can do the same thing. Including using the win98 version and ignoring the startup message, or trying a app that does the same job.


There'll all listed here:

i still get a odd error on startup, im trying to get rid of the service controal manager it stops me at start up saying a device was not insatalled, though everythign is running, running lan servers are a real pain :evil: but i guess its worth it for the speed, thankx for the help,

Hehe I put a copy of clarkconnect (modified redhat) on my file/mail servers, then I can just stick em in a cupboard for a few years until the harddisk dies.

I had a look around support.microsoft.com the resolution I found said to boot into safemode, goto device manager and uninstall any devices that show problems.

The other solution was to check these 2 reg keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services

and delete any driver or service that is mentioned in the error message.

well i got most of my devices acounted for now just one pci device, well ill go into safe mode and do what ya said, any way of gettin rid of the welcome window?
