after removal of svchost iam facing problem in office 2000 that is when i open any file from look in it takes lot of time to open the look in drop down list.Please help me out in this issue

"Removal of svchost" - do you really mean removal? It's a required system component. (See http://ask-leo.com/archives/000105.html ).

My first two steps would be to run system file checker (http://ask-leo.com/archives/000074.html ) to repair Windows if there's a problem then. THen I would run Office Setup and also attempt to *repair* the Office install as well.

Good luck!

i am working the office there are some systems suddenly network droped everything ok(hub,network cards,systems,swithcs..)ping is not accepted after 10 minutes network is ok.how is the problem same problem last week is comming.what is the solution.

We have an existing networks of 24 workstations, and three 8-port hubs. recently, a 24 port SWITCH was acqired. But the problem is that, some network cards that have both 10Mbs/100Mbs are not responding to the network, though the switch is 100Mbs. What could be the problem?

Probably the very things discussed in the article; turn off autodetection, set these network cards to 100mbs and see if that helps.

Thanks alot, this sorted out my home network.
(Now if only I could get msn messenger and automatic update to work!)

we have 22 computer, and another 19 computer fromthe other office we are connected thru VPN, my problem was the windows messenger frequently drop connection when idle even in the same vicinity.

I have 15 computers hooked up to a network switch that is a gigabit. 3 computers, hooked to the same switch, are only 100T.

If I use this method, are there any problems connecting to the machines that are 100T? If so, should I select all 100T?

Also...the computers that are 100T actually have 1000T cards, but are limited by the additional network they are in. those machines have two network cards. Can they be set to 1000T and still work on a 100T network?

Thank you for solution proffered on Feb 18, 2005. However, how can I increase the speed of my network from 10mbs to 100mbs without having any problem?

If all of your hardware supports 100mbs, I see no reason not to use it.
