I've received the following error at startup time on a
Win2K SP3 Advanced Server.
The Computer Browser service terminated with service-
specific error 2550.
What does this mean and how is it fixed?
Note: Within the Windows Explorer I only see the right
side of the explorer window. Is THIS issue related and if
so, how can it be fixed also?
Thanks,
Tom
 
Microsoft Active Directory services in Windows 2000 and
Windows XP replace the computer browser service used in
earlier versions of Windows to provide the network basic
input/output system (NetBIOS) name resolution. The
browser service in Windows 2000 is provided for backwards
compatibility with client computers that are running
earlier versions of Windows.

Therefore if you dont have any NT servers you can turn
this service off no problem.

Cheers,
Steve
