Howdy,  
  
We run Paradox as our database on a peer-to-peer Win 2000  
  
Lan.  
  
I researched an error we were getting on occasion and  
  
learned that we needed to turn off opportunistic locking in  
  
the registry.  
  
The location was:  
  
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MRXSmb\Parameters  
  
and we were to be sure that on all systems there was an  
  
entry for EnableOplocks with a value of "0".  
  
We checked our machines and made the setting where  
  
necessary.  
  
All was well until the last machine:  
  
On that system, Services does not appear at all under  
  
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet.  
  
On that machine, we searched for "EnableOplocks" and found  
  
it at:  
  
HKLM\System\ControlSet002\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters  
  
where it appeared, correctly set to "0".  
  
Might you help me to understand what all this is telling me?  
  
Very sincere thanks for any information on this,

Is that a DOS version of Paradox?  The solutions may be different  
  
in that case, but it has been many years since I last dealt with  
  
that.  
  
You may find that the "solution" differs between Server settings  
  
and Client settings.  Try these two Tips at  
  
jsiinc.com   1447 9316  
  
for a little background.  I pretend no expertise in this area  
  
however.  
  
That could be indicative of malware (present or past) and suggest  
  
full scans with multiple tools.  Also RootkitRevealer (free  
  
Sysinternals) may reveal some anomalies (not necessarily a rootkit)  
  
that would be clues to this.  Also Try a "Safe Boot" perhaps.  
  
Only that the LanManServer and the MXRSMB are not equivalent and  
  
(aside from the missing CCS\Services) that if "2" was listed as  
  
"Current" at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Select  
  
you at least have the correct control set.  
  
Not sure if any of this will be helpful.
