Windows 2003 Common Troubleshooting

For the needs of the server, Windows 2003 handles the default settings for hardware such as sound cards, video cards, and so on, and individual users often encounter "failures" when they use them.

1. A rough picture when playing a movie

Many friends have such a "encounter": their own computer configuration is quite good, installed Windows 2003 graphics card can be automatically recognized and installed, but the film when the screen is very rough, the installation of the latest version of the video card after the quality of the picture remains unchanged. This is because the default display options for Windows 2003 are not optimized for individual user needs.

The solution is simple: Right-click on the desktop, and then go to "show properties → settings → advanced → troubleshoot", drag the "Hardware acceleration" cursor to the right to "full", point "OK" exit. Then enter the "start → all programs → accessories → system tools → system Information", select "Tool →directx Diagnostic Tool" (because the program collects system information, so need to wait a bit, may appear splash screen), select the "Display" tab, turn on "DirectDraw" Acceleration "and" Direct 3D acceleration "items, click" Exit ".

2. Sound is seriously delayed when the sound card is not working or playing games

In Windows 2003, most sound cards continue to use their drivers in Windows 2000/XP, and the older sound cards (such as Dishing S90) are only manually installed. After installing the sound card, users often encounter the following two problems.

1) The sound card does not work

After the driver installation is complete, in the Windows 2003 Standard version of the normal use of the sound card, and in the Enterprise version, the system is still not audible, the solution is: Into the "control Panel → Sound and audio control devices", check the "Audio service" option, click "OK" and restart the computer.

2 Play the game when the sound of serious lag

The workaround is to go to the DirectX Diagnostics tool, select the Sounds tab, drag the cursor to the right in acceleration level to full acceleration, and click Exit.

3. IE always reminds of security risks

"Always feel the latest version of the safest, did not expect to browse the Web page under Windows 2003, every visit to a page, IE will remind of security risks, ask whether to continue to visit, too inconvenient", often have friends complain.

This problem occurs because the IE default security level in Windows 2003 is "High", which makes it a lot of trouble for us to surf the internet, although security is enhanced. It is recommended that you adjust the security level to medium by starting IE, selecting tools →internet options, and setting the security level to medium on the Security tab.

4. Slow system response when running large software

Server and workstation requirements for system resources are not the same, if we normally run software such as Photoshop 3DSMAX, then the system resources should be reassigned, modified to be similar to the state of Windows XP.

To set the steps: Go to control Panel → system and select the Advanced tab. In the Performance bar, click the Settings button, select the Advanced tab, select Programs in both the processor plan and memory usage columns, and then click OK and restart the computer.

After setting above, do you think Windows 2003 is more cordial?
