you can do this one of two ways: [list] [*] Let LILO handle the boot loading [*] Let the BSD MBR handle the boot loading [/list] Personally, I prefer the latter. The FreeBSD MBR is SUPER simple-- you just hit the Fkeys (F1, F2, F3, etc)for the partition you want …

Have you just tried plugging the device in and seeing if it works? Also, what makes you say that the drivers you downloaded "won't work"? I've done lots of 2000 driver installs on XP systems with nary a problem. Because for the most part, Windows XP can just be considered …

What problems are you having? You said you had problems, but did not mention any error messages, etc, indicating what the problem might be.

If you were to try and highlight that text, does it look the same? Does it happen in multiple fonts?

[QUOTE=Squires]To start, find a girl with the "I love love nerds" t-shirt on.[/QUOTE] Squires, that's nowhere near a good indicator. I personally know 5-6 [b]really[/b] attractive geek girls, and they all wear those "I love nerds/geeks" t-shirts. But, see a nerd try to approach one of them? Be as cool/personable …

I'd have to agree with Linux-tech on this one: I used to be anti-Lindows just on principle, but IMHO there are better, more free alternatives, like Mandriva, Suse, or Fedora.

I think JoetjeF is right-- you'll need to talk to the provider of the application. You wouldn't notice the difference between 80% utilisation and 99% utilisation, but you don't want your system to be unresponsive while your app runs. From the sounds of it, whoever programmed the application didn't perform …

try downloading Windows Script: [url]http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=c717d943-7e4b-4622-86eb-95a22b832caa&DisplayLang=en[/url] Usually, if you've got a script error, you can resolve it by making sure Windows Script is installed correctly.

There are a lot of ways to do this. When are you wanting to do it? before login? After login? After the desktop appears? Here are some links to check out: [url]http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/2000/server/reskit/en-us/Default.asp?url=/resources/documentation/Windows/2000/server/reskit/en-us/regentry/12330.asp[/url] [url]http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/reskit/en-us/Default.asp?url=/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/reskit/en-us/prmc_str_elqj.asp[/url] Here's one describing exactly what happens at login: [url]http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/reskit/en-us/Default.asp?url=/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/reskit/en-us/prmc_str_wtlu.asp[/url] Also, you can drop a Shortcut of the …

This really isn't a C++ Programming question, moving to the Windows XP forum. ...What version of Windows are you running, anyways? Have you tried doing a Google search using those error messages and "The Sims" in quotes?

MartyMcFly is right-- you need that disc. Can you borrow it from someone? So long as you legitimately have a license for it, it's OK to borrow someone else's disc for a purpose like this, or even to reinstall, so long as you use your product key that came with …

Do you get any video at all, like before Windows loads? Can you try hitting the F8 key as the system boots? Maybe the video modes are set too high-- try booting into Safe Mode after hitting F8, or try VGA mode. From there, you should probably consider removing and …

I'd pull out the video card you added, first. Second, you could have broken the "seal" that the thermal paste created. You'll want to clean the heatsink, and apply more any time that you take off that heatsink. It's very possible that your processor is overheating. Did you swap the …

Tried another network card? Updated the WLAN drivers?

maybe this is what you're looking for: [url]http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/urlmapping.html[/url]

Does this happen in just one user, or in all users that are setup on the system? I'd try creating a new user and see if the same phonomena occurs in the neew user account. If it doesn't, it is at least narrowed down to some user-specific setting.

What do you mean? Are you on your system right now?

I can answer this: First of all, drop the abbreviations. The performince on your [u]puter[/u] will not be [u]imped[/u] one bit. Why use abbreviations where in a forum you want to be as clear as possible, so you can get the best help? As far as your connection is concerned. …

you'd need a router like this, that can accept a serial modem connection: [url]http://www.homenethelp.com/web/review/ZoomAir-4165.asp[/url]

Try the suggestions here: [url]http://www.pchell.com/support/limitedconnectivity.shtml[/url]

I recommend buying a new router. If the cable modem works, you're probably in good shape. If you haven't changed anything on the router, it's more than likely that your router just went south on you. Luckily, routers aren't [i]that[/i] expensive...

Are you familiar with the [b]patch[/b] command? The reason why most people don't proviide instructions for how to do it is because they assume you know what to do with source code patches. Basically, you download the source to [b]etherreal[/b]. You apply the patch while in the ethereal source directory: …

I'm afraid it seems no one here understands your question... Mind going into more detail on what it is you're trying to do? It would occur to me that there should be plenty of HOWTO's available on the web for setting up sendmail and IMAP servers on standalone systems. Tried …

Try this: [url]http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/IP-Masquerade-HOWTO/[/url] This explains how to use Network Address Translation to share an Internet connection.

When you configure your virtual machine, there should be a Network Adapters setting. Do you not have an option to select there? I seldom use VMware in a *nix like OS, but I remember being able to tell it to use a specific interface...

Is this a standard copy of XP Pro, or an OEM version? It occurs to me that winnt.sif shouldn't be there unless someone puts it there. At least, that's what Google would indicate to me...

did you run [b]ipconfig /flushdns[/b]? That flushes the DNS cache. Also, did you put it in this format: [code] 206.xxx.xxx.xxx l2authd.lineage2.com[/code] Are you sure you've got the hostname correct in that entry? There's not much to the HOSTS file-- you need to have one, and it needs to at least …

Just an FYI: You can use a USB mouse [b]without[/b] USB Mouse support enabled in the BIOS. I think it's a DOS thing, emulating PS/2 functionality when the BIOS recognizes there's a USB mouse.

Sounds like your monitor's dead/dying. I've had 3 of those monitors. One would do that, even in the BIOS. So, you're looking at replacing a monitor.

It might be nice to know what forum software you're using... Moving to Building a Community...

Please don't resurrect 2-year old threads with stuff like this-- next time, please start a new thread in the forum.

You connect your DSL modem via an Ethernet cable to the router. It looks like this: [code] ) Phone line +-----+ Ethernet Cable +--------+ )) ------------| DSL |=================| router | =* ))) wireless |modem| | | )) +-----+ +--------+ ) [/code] That's my poor ASCII art diagram of it, but …

Why not use Ghost? You've got the best of both worlds there-- it does file-based when appropriate, and sector-based when it doesn't recognize the host computer's file system. It has excellent compression, too. Keep in mind that if we're just talking about the OS and installed programs, and no customer …

Right click My Computer, then click Properties. Click the Device manager tab. Is anything listed in there with an Exclamation point (!) or a question mark (?) ?

Just a word of advice: I'm not one to contradict anyone, but my experience has been quite the opposite of frenemy's. I've always installed Windows first, then install Linux. That way, the bootloader installation for Linux can detect the Windows installation (Hopefully), and add the appropriate entries to either menu.lst …

Try these steps: browse for /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 and open it with a text editor as the root user. Scroll down to Section "Monitor" and change HorizSync and VertRefresh to the values found in the monitor manual. Scroll down to Section "Screen" and add the desired resolution to the "Modes". You should …

Was this drive part of a RAID array? That's almost what it sounds like.

That particular bar has been replaced in Windows XP. This is the new equivalent, attached below. It appears that it just comes up by default. That old style bar is gone, unfortunately, regardless of which theme (classic or XP) that you pick.

Wholeheartedly, YES. Paper MCSE's are that bad. Many people can pass tests quite easily, or remember stuff that is going to be on the test. But, put them in front of a system that needs configuration, and they're lost. I work and have gone to school with many of these …

I think it sounds like a hardware issue... Perhaps call Acer for a replacement keyboard?

That's kind of neat! I've never been one to really get star-struck, but I always think it's neat to run into celebrities. I live in Nashville, aka Music City USA, and it's not uncommon to run into "stars" here. I was in Kroger (a regional grocery chain) a few years …

If all you've got is a restore CD, you might be out of luck. However, some OEMS have started including the i386 directory on their hard drives, for when you need those files. Try doing a search, or look in the root of C:\, for all folders named "i386"

[QUOTE=Novell52]There are a few of them out there. I ran across this press release from diskeeper. [url]http://www.executive.com/press/releases.aspx?F=2005062801.html[/url][/QUOTE] I'm not trying to plug this company, but Diskeeper works brilliantly. I run it on my own system at home.

I don't have a 6600, I've got an FX5700, but I had the same thing happen. The only thing I could do to resolve it was downgrade to the older Nvidia drivers. Did the trick for me, at least. Perhaps you should follow suit, then maybe wait for the next …

[QUOTE=Gunasekhar]U r say s sbout win XP but what is for 2000 PRO Gunasekhar[/QUOTE] It should work the same, I'm sure.

What kind of computer is this? What kind of cable modem? How is it connected?

Did you try re-running the Windows installer , like it said?

Nope. You need root priviledges. If it's not your server, get permission from the admin. It might save you some heartache, or even your job, if installing unauthorized software is against your company's IT policy.
