I see, well AMI wont give me any tech support since the bios has been modified by emachines

Definitely not mishearing those beeps, I have listended to it countless times, keep in mind this bios was modified by emachines, so I believe the beep codes are different.

Well this is just awful, upon looking for C:\Windows\Minidump, I see that the folder is completely gone. Please advise

@capperjack, I have NirSoft Blue Screen Viewer already, and will upload those tomorrow, if you look at my post above, I stated that it was an AMI bios

BUMP

AMI : American Megatrends Inc. And I agree fully rubberman, I thought it was lunacy.

Lately my work machine has been giving me hell with a variety of stop codes and occasionally won't boot giving me a 1 long, 1 short beep code. I scoured the internet and couldn't find the cause of this beep code. My warranty is up but I managed to wiggle out some information out of emachines, who said that it was harddrive related. I have run the Seagate diagnostic test using UBCD, this showed no errors or problems with the drive, after both short and long tests. The blue screens hinted at it being a memory problem based upon my research, so I replaced the ram, I still have been having the same issue however.

Stop Codes: 0x1E, 0x0A, 0x19, 0xBE
Beep Code: 1 long, 1 short

Any advice would be greatly appreciated :)

I was dragging and dropping flv files onto this bat file so I could watch in fullscreen on my second monitor:

set vlcPath="C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe"

%vlcPath% %1 --video-x=1366 --video-y=768 --width=300 --height=300 --fullscreen --no-video-title-show --no-embedded-video --no-qt-fs-controller

but would rather write a batch file with a menu so I could simply select the video I want and it would run with the above parameters. here is what I got so far

@echo off
color 07
title VLC Video Menu
echo.
echo What you tryna watch?!?:
echo===================
echo.
echo 1. Adapter Cards - Part 1 of 2
set choice=
set /p choice=Type the number to watch the movie.
if not '%choice%'=='' set choice=%choice:~0,1%
if '%choice%'=='1' goto Adapter Cards - Part 1 of 2
ECHO "%choice%" is not valid, try again
ECHO.
goto start
:Adapter Cards - Part 1 of 2
ECHO Now Playing Your Movie: Adapter Cards - Part 1 of 2
goto end

What piece of code am i missing to have a flv file open in vlc with the parameters listed at the top? I assume it would go under ever menu entry right after the "echo now playing" line

What I have is a linksys wrt54gs(dd-wrt) router assigning private ip's to my workstations. I also have a Windows Server which i need accessible for Windows Remote Desktop Connection to my remote office in Costa Rica. I'd like to have the server have one of my 5 static public ip's(so i can use a host on one of my domains) but the only way i was able to set this up properly was by putting the server on the modem directly not behind the router. When i tried using NAT, it would assign the public static ip but Windows would say i still cant connect to the internet?. Im wondering if having my server behind a NETGEAR ProSafe VPN Firewall would be enough? Before i was getting thousands of login attempts each night on my server

This still doesn't allow the outside world to access my server via one of the 5 static public ip's i purchased. Also this creates a security risk since it forwards all ports not just the one i want opened for rdp(3389)

I have a Windows Server running and i need to assign a static public ip through DD-WRT to it, so my remote desktop users can still access it via that, however I am coming up with nothing after scowering the DD-WRT website.

Ok gotchya, I got it to work today using a c.u.p.s-gutenburg driver supplied by Ubuntu. It was printing out extra pages from adobe reader, but i believe that was due to the print as image option being checked. Thanks for your help

Yeah i found that same site and used the wayback machine to view the page, but had no luck with the download

I have some machines with ubuntu which are experiencing issues when printing. I know it is a driver issue, Savin doesn't have a linux driver on the webpage. Any ideas anyone?

Straight from the link you posted:
Accessing RDS Functionality in Windows Server 2008 R2 with SP1

If you already own Windows Server 2008 R2 with SP1, to utilize the RDS functionality of the Windows Server software, you will need an incremental Remote Desktop Services Client Access License (RDS CAL) in addition to your Windows Server license and Windows Server Client Access License.

What I was trying to point out is that Remote Desktop Services is not the same as the Terminal Services. Im not even using it for a Terminal Server. Thank you for the info, since i originally posted this, I spoke with Microsoft myself who stated the same thing

Thanks for the info, however they don't need to be admins. And I absolutely do not need terminal services, or the cal for it. I have two standard account users who can rd in just fine! Maybe this was a change in R2?

I have already installed and configured(for the most part) Windows Server 2008 R2 on a desktop here in my office. I need to have 2 agents from my remote office be able to remote desktop into my server. I'm new to Windows Server, and R.D.S. Any tips, suggestions, things to avoid? I want the easiest setup possible, i do not need any other special apps, just internet explorer. My father who manages servers said the only thing i would need to do is to enable Remote Desktop in Windows Server 2008, which is a 2 click process, and then make sure i had tcp port 3389 opened up on my router. Thanks everyone!

I took your exact script from above without the for loop and it doesnt run at all, it flashes the terminal and then nothing.

#!/bin/bash
FTPUSER=sanders
FTPPASS=law123
SERVERIP="192.168.1.37"
DATE=`date +%D`
 
echo "mirror -R $HOME $USER" | lftp -u $FTPUSER,$FTPPASS $SERVERIP 
echo "Backup of $HOME complete for $USER"

I'm sorry im new to this and totally lost. My friend said that grep can be used to accomplish this

Hey Gromit, I tried that script and it sill copies over all user files over, not just the one launching it. It created a folder called home and stored my two users home directories there. You have been very helpful so far, and I'm trying to figure this out on my own, but am struggling. Would replacing $whoami with $user be the proper step?

Wow, that works perfect now, seems my buddy thought he knew a little more than he did. I think what he was trying to do was use the rsync flag -r(recursive- recurse into directories) and -R(realtive -use relative names). It seems that this script copies all users home directories, do you know how i could make it relative to the account launching the script, so that it would only copy that users home? Thanks Gromit, you rock!
