Thanks for the responses. I will try to explain my situation.

The motherboard was a custom motherboard designed by a company named Radisys in the mid '90s. The motherboard supports the operation...

Hi -
Are you referring to the CMD prompt from within Win2K? If so, I need to make the PCI configuration modification before Windows boots in order for Window to properly enumerate the PCI bus, etc.

This may be off topic but I am looking for some advice.

I have an older win 2k computer from the late '90s which has a bug with Bios initialization of the PCI bus. I know what needs to be fixed...

In regards to your 1st proposed solution, I have already checked the user accounts on my Win 10 machine (there is one 1, me) and it is definitely enabled.

I stumbled across your 2nd solution just...

Oh yes, I see what you are asking -

I was attempting to use a serial port spy tool that would run under Windows 2000. I was trying several different freebie applications and unfortunately I don't...

Yes - I can 'see' the Win 10 machine from the Win 2000 physical or virtual machine. Pinging the Win 10 from the Win 2000 is also successful. I do have SMB1 enabled on the Win 10 machine also.

Hi - I'm sorry, I don't understand what you are asking. I am not using any 3rd party application, only using 'Files Explorer' to access the network. On the Windows 2000 machines, I also use File...

Thanks for your input. My situation is that I only have the one account which is enabled and set to type administrator. The account is also set to WORKGROUP.

The error message:...

For reasons unknown I have an issue that 'just' showed up. For weeks now I have been using an older Win 2000 computer to access a shared folder on my Windows 10 desktop. Worked flawlessly and...

Ha... just maybe. I think I'm burned out on this project. Time to move on!

What puzzles me is that even though the flpydrive.sys driver installs without an error, inspecting the ntbtlog.txt file indicates that the OS never attempts to load the driver. There are no error...

Hi -
Yes, the Floppy is enabled in UEFI. I am able to boot from the floppy into another OS (Win XP startup disk). Since I was able to boot from the floppy that led me to believe that the...

That was a good suggestion. Unfortunately my ASrock mother board UEFI does not have a CSM option, so things are looking bleak.
As a last test, I used a spare hard drive to install a fresh,...

Hi Ben -
I was confident that your suggestion would be the 'magic elixir' for my problem. However, after a reboot, I see no changes.

I went back and checked the registry and noticed that the...

That was my initial thought also. However, I substituted another working floppy drive and it wouldn't work either. I then set the UEFI to boot from the floppy, used a Win 98 boot disk and the...

No, I see nothing in the Device Manager that warns me of a bad/uninstalled driver. No yellow indicators.

Looking online I discovered that the the flpydisk.sys file should exist in the ...

Thanks. My system is about 10yrs old and secure boot is not even supported. System runs great and I'm having trouble upgrading.

UEFI properly configured to enable Floppy controller

Hi -
I've been searching for quite a while and have not found a solution to my problem. I have a Win 10 desktop with an internal old-style floppy drive (parallel cable, etc.) that I noticed will...

Hi -
Hopefully someone has some ideas as to why I am having the issue that I am experiencing.

Here is a rundown of the three computers -
1) Personal Desktop - Win 10 - MS Defender -...

Windows Ver 1903 (OS Build 18362.657)

Hi -
Hopefully someone with expertise in the Security Policies settings might provide me with some assistance. I am using a digitizer USB HID device on Win...

Thanks for the reply.
I thought that 'Your Phone' only worked with either Android or iPhone OS. I don't believe my Verizon phone uses Android. It is primitive and is not considered a smart-phone.

Hi -
Hopefully someone will be able to point me in the right direction. Currently I use an inexpensive cell phone (Verizon) in connection with my wireless landline system. This Panasonic wireless...

There is no method for the computer to realize that the flat panel is installed. By this I mean, the electrical connection supports only the LVDS output. So plugging the panel in will not trigger...

I've attached the INF file for your opinion.
I'm looking forward to hearing what you think.
