<Grin> We seem to have come full circle. This is exactly what
I suggested in my reply at the very beginning of this long
thread,
yet the OP appears to have chosen to ignore my recommendation.




Didn't mean to ignore, but where is Server service located to
unckeck?

ms

In the Start Menu-> Run box enter: services.msc

John


Thanks.

I get the message "can't find services.msc" ??

Due to some of the comments, I should mention I am 76 with bad
sleep
as
with lots of seniors, and computing problems are sometimes not
easy
compared to a younger person.

ms


Do this:
- Click Start / Run / cmd {OK}
- Type this command:
net stop server{Enter}


Thanks, I want to see if the data in my reply to John John has some
result.

ms

You could have saved yourself the trouble of all this typing in
your reply to John John. The command I recommended would
have told you immediately whether the "Server" service is installed,
active or not available. It's these two simple steps:
- Click Start / Run / cmd {OK}
- Type this command:
net stop server{Enter}


Thanks, results:

C:\>net stop server
The Server service is not started.

In this case "not started" appears to mean not active/not available?
Which explains some of the other results?

ms


It means two things:
a) The "server" services exists.
b) It is not running right now.

It also means that the "server" service could be started by
some agent, without you knowing about it. To disable it, do this:
- Click Start / Run / cmd {OK}
- Type this command:
sc config server start= disabled

Be careful with the spaces in this command - some of them
are very important!


message:

'sc' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable
program or batch file.

Comment?

This simply means that sc.exe is not available on your system.
I now realise that it comes with the Windows Resource Kit.
In such cases Google is your friend: In its search box you type
something like
download "sc.exe"
and hey presto! it spits out lots of sites such as this one:
ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/reskit/win2000/sc.zip
Download the file, unzip it, then place it into the c:\WinNT folder.
You can also download a copy from my own site (but only
for a limited time):
http://www.hotlinkfiles.com/files/1214780_qy9dg/sc.exe

BTW, when in the prevous message I pasted into my reply the text from the
DOS screen, CTRL/C put it into clipboard.

This time, CTRL/C did not work. What is a reliable method to copy the
message?

Ctrl+C will work if you first mark the text. Your problem was
probably that you could not paste the command into your
Command Prompt. Here is how it's done:
- Start a Command Prompt.
- Press Alt+Space Bar
- Press E, then P
