Windows 2003 is a server version of the operating system released by Microsoft, and if you want to use Windows 2003 as a personal version of your operating system, you will have to have a first-line configuration of the systems after installation. This article describes some of the configuration that must be done after the system is installed.
Note: The installation process is very simple, here we do not talk, focus on the installation after the system configuration.
First, enable hardware acceleration
Hardware acceleration: Desktop Right-click-Property (properties)-> settings (Settings)-Advanced (Advanced)-Troubleshooting (Troubleshoot). Pull the hardware acceleration scroll bar of the page to full, preferably click OK to save the exit. This may be a moment of black screen is completely normal.
Second, enable DirectX acceleration
DirectX acceleration: Open start-> "Run", type "DxDiag" and enter "DirectX Diagnostics Tool" (DirectX tools), on the Display page, click DirectDraw , Direct3D and AGP texture accelerates three buttons to enable acceleration.
Third, enable the sound card:
After the system is installed, the sound card is prohibited, so you want to enable it in the Control Panel-> sound->, reboot and then set it in the taskbar display.
Now we also need to enable audio acceleration. When you enter services.msc in run and press ENTER, a Services window appears, the Windows Audio service is found, the double-click opens, the startup type is set to Automatic, click Apply, and then click Start to start the service.
Finally, we will also use the DirectX Diagnostics tool, enter DxDiag and return in the run, open the Sound tab, and drag the Hardware Sound Acceleration level slider to full.
Four, allow sound acceleration
If you are using the Windows Server 2003 Standard version, make it from step two, because the standard version has allowed sound services.
Open start-> Run, type "services.msc", locate "Windows Audio" in the window that appears, and double-click it, and then select Auto in the Drop-down menu in startup mode ( Automatic) and click "Apply" (apply)-> "Start" (start)-> "OK" (OK)
Open start-> Run, type "DxDiag" and enter the DirectX Diagnostics Tool (DirectX Tools), and on the "Sound" page, "Hardware acceleration level for sound" ( Hardware Sound acceleration level) scroll bar to full acceleration.
V. Enable ASP support
Windows Server 2003 is installed by default and is not installed with IIS 6 and requires additional installation. After you install IIS 6, you also need to turn on standalone support for ASP. The method is:
Control Panel-> Administrative Tools-> Web service Extensions-> Active Server Pages-> allowed.
Vi. tips for canceling the shutdown reason

So, in order to quickly shut down the computer, you can follow the steps below to remove the reason for the shutdown prompts:
