Why the repost? Just keep posting in the other thread.

[QUOTE=pcschrottie]You could try something like this (I have all Windows versions except ME, but it should work): 1. If you can start your Windows: -On your Windows ME-CD, locate the folder with all the .cab - files (in Windows 98, this folder is called Win98) -open a MS-DOS command and …

[QUOTE=helloworld]i need example, i need the code, as soon as possible[/QUOTE] That's nice. I need a new car, I need the vehicle, as soon as possible. Let's both sit here and wait to see who gets one first. It's okay to post a question like this, as you've shown some …

Are you running any kind of drive emulation software, like Daemon tools, or similar? It could be the copy protection on the disc throwing the installer for a loop.

Is this drive set up as the drive where the paging file resides? That could account for the space consumption. Otherwise, you might want to reformat the drive to regain the space. If you cannot format the drive because it says it's in use, I'd seriously suspect your paging file …

Not anything legal or effective. How much faster do you need? If you're downloading something, make sure you're downloading from a server that can "saturate" your link, ie, use all of your available bandwidth. There are things like compression and such, but they're all kludges to implement, and aren't all …

Also, you have to watch carefully. If you've already followed caperjack's advice, there's a little message that will show up, saying [b]Press any key to boot from CD.[/b] This differs from the Windows ME/98 install CDs, which bring up little menus, asking what you want to do. To my recollection, …

Perl's actually a scripting language for a number of platforms. It might have its roots in Unix, but it has been extended to work with Windows, Pre and Post OS X Macs, and it even works on DOS, Amigas, and BeOS. There are tons of other platforms, too! Just so …

Are you sure you'll be able to use Ctrl-C with the shell? I'd be afraid that the script will just stop being interpreted by the shell, and just dump to a prompt. Perhaps you should be looking at some scripting language (Python or Perl, for instance) where you can simply …

I would be looking to try and remove spyware from the system, as that sounds suspicious. Check out the "Helping yourself" link in my sig. Should that not help, try posting a question to the Spyware forum here.

I personally wouldn't feel comfortable recommending someone modify a DLL file in the way you've described. Most people don't know this, but nearly everything in Windows is customizable by some kind of script, WMI control, group policy, or registry setting. Try these links I've found from the Internet Explorer Resource …

You didn't smell anything, did you? If you just built it, you might not have installed your heatsink correctly. I hope you don't mind me cutting and pasting my advice from another thread, but it applies here, too: Strip the system down to motherboard and processor. Disconnect all external peripherals, …

Is the board dual channel? It sounds like that memory just might not be compatible with the board. I'd look at RMA'ing it, or at least trading a friend, etc.

Additionally, if the Mouse will still move, but the system just doesn't respond, it's more than likely a software problem, and not one of hardware. If it were a hardware problem, the system would likely lock hard, and the mouse wouldn't move at all, either.

Please name your threads more suitably in the future. Help Me Please!!!!!!! tells us nothing about what your issue is. "Please help me solve my random restarts" might have been more appropriate.

[QUOTE=tomoliveri]cdt1983, next time just go for it you can always re format your hard drive later[/QUOTE] That's kind of um, dumb advice, no offense. "Just going for it" might not have helped him. What if he burned the CD the wrong way? The he wouldn't have been able to even …

I would actually tend to agree with these statements. The only thing that I can say is "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." But, there are some things that you can do to make your computer "seem" faster. Uninstall programs that run in memory if you don't use them, …

I don't think it would really matter on that-- how does it run in the actual bash shell? If I were you, I'd run it in bash, and then see what errors, if any, occured. Fix them, and you'll be in good shape on either editor. I'd hope that gedit …

So, did we change hosting companies, or just servers?

In fact, companies out there make waterblocks just for this application. [i]disclaimer: I just picked these two links out because I use them semi-frequently. There may be better and/or cheaper options out …

[QUOTE=moderate_rock48]ok, since nobody seems to know, is the only reason the hp mobo proprietary because it doesnt fit the case? Could i just buy a different brand mobo same socket and just kinda hang it out the case? it might be "ghetto" but its ok, i just need to know …

Caperjack's suggestion is one thing to try, and here's another: Sometimes power supplies have circuit breakers in them. Try simply unplugging the system for 2 minutes. If that doesn't work, disconnect all external devices, unplug all of your drives, remove your RAM, and remove all PCI/AGP cards. Then, see if …

Have you run CHKDSK on your hard drive recently? If it's hanging, there might be something going on with the hard drive, or the filesystem on the drive. As far as those errors with OE are concerned, are you running Norton, or some type of email scanning program? When was …

What is the description along with those events? That can tell us more about what is going on. Also, what section are they in? Security? System? Application?

That figure just for VC++.NET doesn't startle me too much. My "Typical" install of the entire Visual Studio.NET Enterprise Architect takes up nearly 5 GB if you count the MSDN documentaton.

Sure, you probably just disabled that in Folder options. Open My Computer, then click on "Tools" -> and then "Folder Options..." There should be an option that says "Show hidden files and folders" under the View tab. Check that, and then hit OK. They should show back up.

Are you actually running a domain? If you're running a domain using Roaming Profiles, you could just put this link into their roaming profile. You could just as easily run this in a workgroup setting, without AD, and use Local Users and Groups. That's probably what I'd do in your …

Given the description you've provided, Media Center might be a good choice, if you can find it retail. Basically, all Media Center is is XP Pro, without Group Policy and the ability to log into a Domain. So, I'd personally spring for Media Center, and have the (mostly) best of …

It's because you're not running at your optimal resolution in Safe Mode. Certain laptops have software that will "stretch" the picture to fit, but it normally doesn't help in Safe Mode. Essentially, you're supposed to run at some really high resolution (like 1400 x 1050 for SXGA+) and that will …

If all you need to do is start your computer in Safe Mode, hit the <F8> key just before Windows should load up. It will present you with a menu to chose Safe Mode.

Let me pose this question regarding any OEM supporting Linux: If they didn't ship the system with Linux, why are they going to support it? You'd want to attack the source, and ask why aren't they shipping Linux on them. Then, you'd see support for that firming up. Meanwhile, the …

What's that smell? Oh yeah, the smell of a dead thread resurrected! :o Oh well, no bother. It's still topical, I guess. I have a Yahoo! messenger account, but I never use it. I can't stand the amount of spamming I get from it... I'm sometimes on AIM as [b]alc6379[/b]. …

[QUOTE=cscgal]Just as a side question, does C++ support regular expressions and/or regex matching?[/QUOTE] Just by searching Google with the terms "c++" + "regexp", I came up with a header called <regexp.h> , for whatever that's worth.

Are you using a download accelerator, by chance?

Try this: [list] [*]Ensure monitor connections are secure to the video card [*]Reseat the video card [*]Try a different video card. [*]Attach the monitor to a different computer, see if it gets video there. [/list] The USB device [i]might[/i] have had something to do with it, but I'm somewhat doubtful. …

Who's the underlying DSL provider for the AOL DSL? A lot of DSL providers (AOL included) use Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE). Basically, you authenticate yourself like a dialup connection, except you're using an ethernet/LAN connection instead of a phone line. You can use wireless, but I don't …

HAh! I've got fans, man! 1x92mm Vantec Tornado on my processor, pushing 100 CFM directly onto the processor, 2x92mm Tornados on the side. If I don't have the case side screwed on right, the case side blows right off!

DON'T FIX IT-- RETURN IT Unless the seller says it was sold as-is, you shouldn't have to fool with doing that. Bent pins can be grounds for replacing a processor, as sometimes the traces inside of the chip can actually be broken, and you'd never know it. If they're only …

[QUOTE=jdmml]You can make money off your blog too, with adwords from Google :D[/QUOTE] Not on this site. It's something within the forum; on your own blog site, you can do whatever you want, really.

Why didn't I close this thread initially as off-topic? It's cool to post stuff like this, just in the appropriate forum. Feel free to take this discussion to the Geek's Lounge, where off-topic discussion is welcomed.

Didn't find anything on Google about it, but apparently [b][i]ghungaroo[/i][/b] is a string of bells Hindi dancers wear around their ankles.

Did you use Thermal paste? Have you gotten your Heatsink on right? Is the fan on the heatsink running? Those are just a few things I could think of. To isolate the issue, try running the system with the case side off, turn off all of the case fans, and …

Why even try to do that? Gmail has a notifier now, and it's going to be less of a "Shoehorn" approach than trying to get it working with MSN Messenger.

Have you tried calling Sony Spare parts? I know most OEMs offer a spare parts department; if you call them, they might be able to give you the exact part number.

[QUOTE=cubes2k2]Alright so should i just put another coat of grease on?[/QUOTE] You can do that, just be sure to clean the old layer off with alcohol or something similar.

please don't name your threads like this anymore. Urgent::need help is just plain rude. It implies your thread is more important than others, when this forum prioritizes help requests on a first come, first-served basis.

Mandrake 6? Red Hat 6? For the love of God, man! Where are you getting these old distributions?!?!?!?! You're asking for nothing but trouble with those old versions. If you have broadband, you'll want to download a newer version. Your best bet would be to check out a place like …

AWESOME fix-- I can attest to this fix working-- my wife's machine had the same issue some time ago, and it works great afterwards!
