The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Microsoft, Windows 98, 98

Hi Experts,

I have the following problem and I have no idea how to proceed:

We still have several Windows 98 workstations in our Windows 2003 AD domain. Today on one of these machines I cannot log on anymore. I tried several users but the issue is the same with all of them. I get a login prompt for the domain after booting and I can type in the appropriate account credentials. It also seems that the domain login is successful. When I use a domain user that is new to the machine I also get the prompt to confirm my new password which makes me think that local login is also ok. But after that nothing more happens. The only thing I see is the hourglass. No desktop, no wallpaper, nothing. Pressing the NUM-Lock key doesn't work either so I guess the system hangs. That's for the problem. I already configured the users to not use any login skript but to no avail.

Now does anyone of you have an idea how to troubleshoot this? I don't know where to start. Is there a repair option with the Windows 98 setup that does not effect the data on the disks?

Thanks for all help in advance
