alt-ctrl-del not working on AMD motherboard?
Hello,
I have Win98SE. I replaced my old Intel Celeron 2000 motherboard with motherboard V4MDMP and AMD Athlaton XP 3000 CPU. I kept old disks - after reinstaling drivers for almost everything (new MB have integrated sound, video, network) PC is working again, except: alt-ctrl-del is not working (nothing happens when I press those keys). Window Media player is not working at all (does not starts), but RealOne player is working. Also Jukebox plays mp3 music. Any hints how to fix those problems? Thanks, Zalek |

For the Ctrl+Alt+Delete problem (you must use the Delete key, not a Del key on the
numeric keypad): Click Start Run, type: system.ini and click OK. Look under the [386Enh] section heading. If it contains the entry "LocalReboot=Off" or "False", change it to "LocalReboot=On" or "True". If it does not contain the entry, add it: LocalReboot=True Click File menuSave, then Exit. Re-boot. Test. For the Windows Media Player problem: install it over itself, or upgrade to WMP9. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...es/player.aspx Save the file to the hard drive, then run the installation when the download completes. -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP W95/98 Systems http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm "Zalek Bloom" wrote in message ...

I find the DEL on the numeric keypad DOES work with Ctrl-Alt-Del. Here
is another possibility... "START button, Run, RegEdit", & navigate to... HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Exp lorer That is, (a) Click plus signs, beginning at "HKEY_CURRENT_USER" & ending with "Policies". (b) Click "Explorer" in the left pane, & look in the right pane. (c) R-Clk "NoClose", if there, in the R-pane, & select "Modify". (d) Change it to zeroes: 00 00 00 00. (R-Arrow to left of "01", use delete key, type "00".) (e) Exit, & it may be necessary to reboot. WARNING: Do not get carried away in the Registry. It is very important to the proper functioning of Windows. Muss it badly, & you must boot to DOS & "Scanreg /Restore". Then, choose the date of the last successful boot from the five offered. The rest of this is just informational... ......Start of Other things that may be done there....... Right-click the right pane and select New, Binary Value, & name it: NoClose To disable Shut Down. NoFavoritesMenu To remove Favorites. NoFileMenu To remove the File Menu in Explorer. NoFind To remove Find. NoLogOff To remove Log Off. NoRecentDocsHistory To disable the Documents compilation process. NoRecentDocsMenu To remove Documents. NoRun To remove Run. NoSaveSettings To prevent some few settings getting saved to the Registry. NoSetFolders To disable Control Panel and Printer folders. NoTrayContextMenu To disable Taskbar context menu. NoViewContextMenu To disable (all?) context menus. Double-click the new entry, select modify, and add this value: 01 00 00 00. To reverse the action, change the value to: 00 00 00 00 .......End of Other things that may be done there....... http://support.microsoft.com/default...;EN-US;q130234 Save Settings On Exit Option Enabled by Default ....Quote............. ....snip... Setting the NoSaveSettings field to 1 prevents your settings from being saved. When you set this value, the following items are not saved when you exit Windows: Changed icon positions on the desktop. Windows that are open when you exit. The size and position of the taskbar. ....End quote....... -- Thanks or Good Luck, There may be humor in this post, and, Naturally, you will not sue, should things get worse after this, PCR "Zalek Bloom" wrote in message ... | On Fri, 10 Sep 2004 00:22:36 -0400, "glee" | wrote: | | For the Ctrl+Alt+Delete problem (you must use the Delete key, not a Del key on the | numeric keypad): | | Click Start Run, type: system.ini and click OK. | Look under the [386Enh] section heading. | If it contains the entry "LocalReboot=Off" or "False", change it to "LocalReboot=On" | or "True". | If it does not contain the entry, add it: | LocalReboot=True | Click File menuSave, then Exit. | Re-boot. | Test. | | For the Windows Media Player problem: install it over itself, or upgrade to WMP9. | http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...es/player.aspx | Save the file to the hard drive, then run the installation when the download | completes. | -- | Glen Ventura, MS MVP W95/98 Systems | http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm | | | Glen, | | Thanks for your help. | Media Player is working now, but Ctrl+Alt+Delete is still not working, | even after adding LocalReboot=True to [386Enh] section (this statement | was missing in my system.ini). | Do you know the program name that this screen which shows which | application is running? | | Thanks, | | Zalek | | "Zalek Bloom" wrote in message | .. . | Hello, | | I have Win98SE.

Zalek, there is no program involved with Ctrl+Alt+Delete....it is AFAIK an inbuilt
Windows function that relies on functionality from the BIOS. There may be a BIOS setting interfering with it, depending on what options are available in your particular BIOS setup. BTW, PCR is correct about the Del key....it will work as well as the Delete key. I must have had experiences with an old laptop in mind when I wrote that. :-) -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP W95/98 Systems http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm "Zalek Bloom" wrote in message ...
