Hi.
Sorry for this cross-post; I posted this message on the
microsoft.public.win2000.general forum, and forgot to post it here
also.
Please excuse the somewhat long post.
I just set up a computer from scratch with Win2K Professional, and I'm
experiencing some problems that I can't resolve. Perhaps someone here
can help:
1. Sometimes, when I boot up the machine, it boots OK to the Windowas
desktop, and the mouse moves OK, but there's no response to any icon
clicks (such as my dial-up icon) for at least a minut or two.
CTRL-ALT_Delete during this dead time allows me to open the task
manager, which shows that Win 2000 is not responding. If I wait long
enough, it will eventually start responding, and behave normally foer
the rest of the session. If I choose Shutdown from task manager, I
get a window that says "CSC Notifications", can not end task, and I
have to force the task to end before I can shut down. What is causing
this, and what is CSC Notifications? Can it be turned off?
2. When I go into the START menu and choose HELP, then search for a
topic and choose display, the help information shows in the right-hand
pane (as it should). However, when I click any of the hyperlinks in
the right-hand pane, I get a message similar to the following:
"Internet Explorer Script Error. An error has occured in the script on
this page. Line: 519 Char: 9 Error: Object doesn't support this
property or method Code: 0 URL:
mk
MSITStore:C:\WINNT\Help\windows.chm:/desktop_active_desk.htm
Do you want to continue running the script on this page?"
Of course, the numbers and URL vary, depending upon which link I
choose, but the message always occurs. Help!
3. Finally (not necessarily a problem), when I look at the programs
that are initiated at startup (using StartUp Cop), I see a program
called Synchronization Manager. Do you know what this does, and do I
need it to run?
Thanks for listening. I'd appreciate any answers you can provide.
