I installed Windows Server 2003 on one of my machines. It was a long back machine and the OS was also installed long back. Its RAM is 4GB.
Until 4 days back the machine was fine and providing services. But recently its graphics got problem. Only command prompt is working. If I open Windows Explorer through "explorer.exe" through command prompt, the window gets opened but no graphics would be displayed. It is showing black desktop.
The machine is currently running as a development server. Could anyone please suggest and help me in making the machine run perfectly?
Somehow I found the answer. I killed the process explorer.exe with the help of below commands
> tasklist
> TaskKill /F /IM explorer.exe
and started the process with the below command
> explorer.exe
It should resolve the issue at this point. If not, logoff the machine and login back. It should definitely show the result.

I tried to run a program called MSIAfterburner with no windows
But nothing works
I tried
Quiet.exe
Nircmd.exe
I tried some python scripts and JavaScript & Powershell and VBS. And every time it was showing the window of the program
Can somebody help me?
Neither quiet.exe nor nircmd.exe come with windows by default. I believe this MSIAfterburner program you are referring to is a graphics overclocking utility, which is a windows application, as opposed to a console application.
Therefore, if you for whatever reason want to run it without a window, the easiest way I can think of would be to launch the program in a different session using psexec -i 0 (run it as admin) from here.
If you want to run it without a window without admin privileges, the best I can think of would be to use the winapi ShowWindow(handle_to_the_app_main_window, SW_HIDE).

Which registry file should I change ?
Turn your windows to developer mode, go to settings -> search for developer, then change to developer mode. Restart your pc. It should work now

I changed my icons using 'IcoPackager' to Mac theme and then I uninstalled the IcoPackager, and when I installed it to remove those icons, it says my trial has expired, can you help me out?
Every single icon in my Windows 7 Ultimate, 32-bit laptop is now fked up with Mac Icons.
Yes try system restore but if you don't want to i'm pretty sure there are programs out there that will help you get your files back. you could try a program called Icon Cache Re-builder.
another way to do it is with cmd, here are some step by step instructions i made to fix it.
Close and save anything that you are working on. This command will kill explorer and restart the computer when completed.
Open a command prompt in Windows 7 or Windows 8.
In the command prompt, Copy and paste each command line below exactly as is one at a time and press enter after each command.
ie4uinit.exe -ClearIconCache
taskkill /IM explorer.exe /F
DEL "%localappdata%\IconCache.db" /A
shutdown /r /f /t 00
The IconCache.db file has now been rebuilt and your computer should all be back to normal
Nothing above worked, I just copied the C:\Windows\system32\imageres.dll from my fathers 64bit PC to my 32bit Laptop, and I replaced it with mine and rebooted my computer and everything worked fine!

My Windows 7 started installing updates on shutdown. After I manually forced shutdown by mistake, after restart I have a message : "Installing updates : 10 of 42", i.e. the installation of updates continues. If there is any way to stop the process? Like, start Windows in protected mode or something similar, as it was available in Windows XP?
I am not asking how to disable automatic updates installation in the future, I am asking how to stop the update process after it has already been started.
Thanks,
Kostya
There is no way to kill installing process after it started but just to long press the power button and disable the automatic after restarted.
SOLUTION !
1) create a .bat (CMD) file, with this code:
sc stop wuauserv
2) put that file in STARTUP folder ( %appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup )

The question is while restarting the windows service whether windows kills the service or it waits for the process to finish. As i remember in linux the "restart" command will kill all the child process.
Thanks in advance. I searched the question in this forum but didn't find.
Restarting a service is just shorthand for 'stop service and start service.' So, the service gets a chance to shut down normally and then it gets a chance to start up normally.
You can see this by restarting a service in the Services MMC snap-in. I tried this on Windows 7 and the sequence UI went like this:
Windows is attempting to stop the following service on Local Computer
followed by
Windows is attempting to start the following service on Local Computer
