Instead, an updated version of Windows 98 called Windows 98 Second Edition was released in and Windows Me was released in late While Windows was designed for businesses, Windows Me was designed for home use. Close to the release of Windows Service Pack 1, Microsoft released Windows Datacenter Server, targeted at large-scale computing systems with support for 32 processors, on September 29, Microsoft issued the following statement:.
As such, it is illegal to post it, make it available to others, download it or use it. Despite the warnings, the archive containing the leaked code spread widely on the file-sharing networks. On February 16, , an exploit "allegedly discovered by an individual studying the leaked source code" for certain versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer was reported.
The most notable improvement from Windows NT 4. Similar to Windows 9x , Windows supports automatic recognition of installed hardware, hardware resource allocation, loading of appropriate drivers, PnP APIs and device notification events. The addition of the kernel PnP Manager along with the Power Manager are two significant subsystems added in Windows Windows introduced version 3 print drivers user mode printer drivers.
Driver Verifier was introduced to stress test and catch device driver bugs. Windows introduces layered windows that allow for transparency, translucency and various transition effects like shadows, gradient fills and alpha blended GUI elements to top-level windows. Menus support a new Fade transition effect. The Start Menu in Windows introduces personalized menus , expandable special folders and the ability to launch multiple programs without closing the menu by holding down the SHIFT key.
A Re-sort button forces the entire Start Menu to be sorted by name. The Taskbar introduces support for balloon notifications which can also be used by application developers. Windows Explorer has been enhanced in several ways in Windows This feature was abused by computer viruses that employed malicious scripts, Java applets, or ActiveX controls in folder template files as their infection vector.
Other features new to Explorer include customizable toolbars, auto-complete in address bar and Run box, advanced file type association features and a Places bar in common dialogs. The "Web-style" folders view, with the left Explorer pane displaying details for the object currently selected, is turned on by default in Windows For certain file types, such as pictures and media files, the preview is also displayed in the left pane. Until the dedicated interactive preview pane appeared in Windows Vista , Windows had been the only Windows release to feature an interactive media player as the previewer for sound and video files, enabled by default.
However, such a previewer can be enabled in previous versions of Windows with the Windows Desktop Update installed through the use of folder customization templates.
The default file tooltip displays file title, author, subject and comments; this metadata may be read from a special NTFS stream, if the file is on an NTFS volume, or from an OLE structured storage stream, if the file is a structured storage document.
All Microsoft Office documents since Office 4. File shortcuts can also store comments which are displayed as a tooltip when the mouse hovers over the shortcut. The shell introduces extensibility support through metadata handlers, icon overlay handlers and column handlers in Explorer Details view.
The right pane of Windows Explorer, which usually just lists files and folders, can also be customized. For example, the contents of the system folders aren't displayed by default, instead showing in the right pane a warning to the user that modifying the contents of the system folders could harm their computer. It's possible to define additional Explorer panes by using DIV elements in folder template files. This degree of customizability is new to Windows ; neither Windows 98 nor the Desktop Update could provide it.
The Indexing Service has also been integrated into the operating system and the search pane built into Explorer allows searching files indexed by its database. Windows supports disk quotas , which can be set via the "Quota" tab found in the hard disk properties dialog box. Microsoft released the version 3.
Sparse files allow for the efficient storage of data sets that are very large yet contain many areas that only have zeros. Reparse points allow the object manager to reset a file namespace lookup and let file system drivers implement changed functionality in a transparent manner. Volume mount points and directory junctions allow for a file to be transparently referred from one file or directory location to another.
It allows any folder or drive on an NTFS volume to be encrypted transparently by the user. To date, its encryption has not been compromised. EFS works by encrypting a file with a bulk symmetric key also known as the File Encryption Key, or FEK , which is used because it takes less time to encrypt and decrypt large amounts of data than if an asymmetric key cipher were used. The symmetric key used to encrypt the file is then encrypted with a public key associated with the user who encrypted the file, and this encrypted data is stored in the header of the encrypted file.
To decrypt the file, the file system uses the private key of the user to decrypt the symmetric key stored in the file header. It then uses the symmetric key to decrypt the file. Because this is done at the file system level, it is transparent to the user. For a user losing access to their key, support for recovery agents that can decrypt files is built in to EFS.
A Recovery Agent is a user who is authorized by a public key recovery certificate to decrypt files belonging to other users using a special private key.
By default, local administrators are recovery agents however they can be customized using Group Policy.. Windows introduced the Logical Disk Manager and the diskpart command line tool for dynamic storage.
All versions of Windows support three types of dynamic disk volumes along with basic disks : simple volumes , spanned volumes and striped volumes :. In addition to these disk volumes, Windows Server , Windows Advanced Server , and Windows Datacenter Server support mirrored volumes and striped volumes with parity :.
With Windows , Microsoft introduced the Windows 9x accessibility features for people with visual and auditory impairments and other disabilities into the NT-line of operating systems. It also has support for many different locales. Windows included version 7. Please tell me any ideas or theories you may have, or anything you think we can try; it may save our marriage! Thanks so much, Ted taketwo columbus.
Joined Jul 24, Messages Since you say the programs are all responding slowly you could give all these maintenance tasks a try if u already havent for some performance improvement. Do you see any hardware conflicts in Device Manager? If any try to resolve it by installing the right drivers or by removing the conflicting hardware. I would suggest, try reinstalling the IDE controllers from the device manager. Give it a try, also try creating a new user and login with the new user and see how the system behaves.
Give it a try,. Also since its a P3 MHZ it cud be a little slow naturally. Joined Sep 7, Messages It should be available from the MB makers website. Like any code BIOS isnt necessarily stable, changes in hardware environments, errors loading BIOS and those little gremlins that crawl around the machine while we are asleep, among other things, can cause odd results. Update: Since a second Windows installation on another partition had the same problem meaning the problem was not specific to a particular partition or Windows installation , I assumed the problem was not hard-drive-specific.
So I figured it would be a waste of time to repeat the "primary partition reformat and Windows install" process on the other drive. This assumption turned out to be wrong. I did this to the other drive and it works fine. So now my wife has a working computer, but I am totally mystified.
It's easy to say hardware failure, but that doesn't explain the problem with the second drive. I have no idea what caused two separate drives to lose their primary partitions at almost the same time, or what caused one of them to suddenly start working very slowly but not the other one.
But that will probably raise more questions than it answers. And I have found that unanswered questions, despite a workaround, invariably come back to bite us in the behind later. As Seen On.

If the problem continues the CPU may need to be upgraded. The "Gaming graphics" rating for the system is poor and may be the cause of performance problems in multimedia applications or games. Disabling Aero Glass may improve performance in multimedia applications or games.
If the problem continues the display adapter may need an updated driver or may need to be upgraded. The "Graphics" rating for the system is poor and may be the cause of performance problems. Disabling Desktop Composition or reducing screen resolution may improve graphical performance.
The "Disk" rating for the system is poor and may be the cause of performance problems. Ensure the disk has adequate free space and is defragmented. If the problem continues the disk may need to be upgraded. The "Memory" rating for the system is very poor and may be the cause for performance issues. If the problem continues the memory may need to be upgraded. This thread is locked. You can follow the question or vote as helpful, but you cannot reply to this thread.
