2000 cannot, but XP and 2k3 can. I'm not hip with the alternative OS's (just cutting my teeth), but that's a good bit of info.

Interesting... could have sworn 2000 could do it...

What model Wireless NIC do you have, liliafan? Linux or a *BSD might have okay support for it.

The specs of your motherboard aren't important at this point. It is really important that we get the error messages that are displayed. If possible, before going into X, post the contents of /var/log/XFree86.0.log here.

Virtual PC, VMware, all of those emulation programs, use virtual devices, that work through your hardware. We need to know what problems Linux is having with the virtual devices.

I don't know about postfix, but in sendmail, it's controlled through /etc/aliases. That may be the same way in postfix, as a lot of MTAs are sendmail syntax compatible.

In /etc/aliases, you just map the username to the email address you want. On my system, it looks like:

alc6379 : [email]alc6379@this.isnt.my.real.e-mail.host.com[/email]

Then, all of the mail would look like it came from alc6379@this.isnt.my.real.e-mail.host.com, not alc6379@localhost.localdomain.

Regardless of the file, I'll bet it's called a mail alias. Maybe that search term will help in your studies

Without opening a can of worms:

Dell's cheap. If you just need a "Meat and Potatoes" system, where all you'll be doing is web, email, etc, a 2400 would be nice. If you want a bit more performance, there's the 4600, which is still relatively inexpensive, but is more expandable than the 2400.

If the library is integrated into the API, then you shouldn't have to install it.

...What GUI library are you trying to install, anyways? There are bunches of them: Gtk, Qt, and Motif are examples of GUI libraries-- what's the name of the one you're trying to install?

Well, UNIX is programmed mostly in C.

C was invented to program UNIX.

Basically, without C, there'd be no UNIX. Without UNIX, there probably wouldn't have been a C language.

What about in Disk Management?

Click on Start, right click on My Computer, select Manage. Once you're there, you should see a Folder on the left hand side that says "Disk Management". Click on that.

If Windows is recognizing the drive, you should see an entry in there.

Unfortunately, I do not know further on how to do a conditional at the command prompt... I usually write a short bash script that has if/then/else logic nice and neatly formatted.

You'd just write the same thing at the prompt, just use semicolons instead of carriage returns:

bash-2.05# [b]if [ foo ] ; then bar ; else echo "not foo or bar" ; fi[/b]

Calm down guys.

Luckily, the guy solved his problem. He is asking a question about Internet Explorer in the Internet Explorer forum. Being as such, answers should probably be constrained to helping the user with his/her Internet Explorer issue.

While installing Mozilla would mean that he'd no longer have a problem with Internet Explorer, it wouldn't fix the issue-- it would simply sweep the problem under the rug. If you'd like to PM the user with a suggestion to run Mozilla, cool! But, we really should focus on fixing Internet Explorer related issues in this forum.

...Of course, if your son is knowledgable about computers, he may already know how to reset a BIOS password jumper.

My Advice: Have a BIOS password. Have a Windows password. Lock the keyboard in a gun safe when it's not being used, and lock the door of the room containing the keyboard.

Just kidding about the gun safe... But a locked door never hurts!

...Have you thought about bridging, as opposed to routing?

With bridging, you join to segments together, sort of like a router. But, with a bridge, you can have all of the machines on the same logical subnet.

The cool thing about it is that you don't have to tell the machines on the LAN about the bridge-- it's all transparent. If you're worried about network traffic, all of your traffic would be kept in the garage, seperated from the rest of the house.

Linux can do this, any *BSD can do it, and Windows 2000/XP can do it, too.

There are laptop hdd -> Standard IDE conectors that you can purchase, you know. :)

What type of laptop is it? Recent systems should be pretty easy to remove the hard drive for temporary installation in a system.

No I dont understand remember my question?

That's a different poster there, MAD DOG ;)

or, it may be the SASSER worm.

Get Stinger from here:
http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/

Run it, then go to
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com

Regardless of if it's BLASTER or SASSER, this will fix your problem.

No Way, why chuck a good machine? if it was off when the flooding occured take all the computer parts out the machine let them sit out for a few day to dry off and they should be good to go. My dad is an electronic technician I have seen him wash many circuit boards. This also depend on how old it is to and how long it was under water. but mainly, if the machine was off, it should still run fine once it has dried out.

I beg to differ.

This is why you use distilled water when you water cool a system. Regular water has impurities and particles in it that conduct or impeded electricity. Even if the water dried out, you may still end up with a bunch of junk on the circuits. Taking a paint brush and some alcohol may do it, but that would take forever, and you may not still get everything.

...But then again, what's the worst that could happen? Plug the thing in, get sparks, smoke? Or, worse yet, it doesn't boot at all? Let it dry out and try it, but don't be surprised if nothing works.

98 won't run NTFS. Your only choice would be to run FAT32 on any partition larger than 2GB under 98.

No problem.

Considering the specs of that system, I wouldn't put any money into it. You could probably find that system, or one with similar specs for under $20, plus shipping, probably.

Can you get into the BIOS on your system? I'd check to see if the BIOS is detecting the hard drive. I'm not very up on HP machines-- you'll have to refer to your documentation to determine how to enter the BIOS.

Also, what type of registry error do you have? A lot of them can be fixed by running scanreg /restore from a DOS bootdisk.

Give us a bit more detail, and we could probably help you wrangle down that error message, as opposed to just blowing everything away.

Try this Google search for that exact error:

Check their hardware profiles. They have pretty much every Mac ever made, and some clones.

Not only that, but in each profile they have a link to the machine's actual profile on www.apple.com.

Ureka! I did it, It was the firewall in XP! Thanks again!!

Let this be a lesson to us all-- even though this is a Mac forum, it should be noted that if someone is behind a hardware firewall like a router, it's usually not neccesary to run a software firewall on your system, unless there are people or machines on your LAN you don't trust...

Yeah, you probably want to replace just about everything.

Even if it's running okay now, who's to say that it will run later? The capacitors on the motherboard might dry out or leak, and any of the metal parts on the motherboard might oxidize.

To be safe, I'd just chuck the old box and look at a whole new system, case and all.

This is a Ultra ATA to SATA converter, $22, shipped.

This is an actual PCI SATA controller card, $32, shipped (tax is extra if you live in CA, NJ, or TN)

...I'm sure you could probably find them cheaper, but Newegg is a SUPER site to shop from-- I think I've racked up nearly $500 in purchases from them in the last 3 months! :o

Note: I'm not affiliated with, or being paid by Newegg.com to give this endorsement. However, if anyone at the staff of Newegg.com sees this, and feels compelled to send me a pair of Maxtor 80GB serial ATA drives with an 8MB buffer, I'm not going to complain! ;)

Have you tried simply typing Administrator with no password?

If you can't boot into Windows because of LSASS.exe, you might just want to reconsider getting all of your data off of the drive and reinstalling Windows.

You can use the Windows disc to reinstall the file, or the files associated with it, but I've never had any luck. Alternatively, you could try a repair reinstall.

Personally, if I were going to get an SATA drive, I'd go ahead and get an SATA card.

Where'd you find one for $80? I've seen them on pricewatch for as little as $40. To get that thing running at SATA150 speeds, I'd be okay with that price.

Additionally, try searching for the SAMBA filesharing suite for the Mac.

Generally, it comes pre-installed on OS X, and there may be a "Connect to Server" option in the Finder. If there is one, and you've configured file sharing on the Windows machine, you can type in the IP address of the Windows system in the Connect to server box there.

You might be able to try a repair reinstallation. If that doesn't work, the only way you're going to be able to solve this and keep your files would be to probably put your hard drive in another system, and copy the files over to CD or something.

Either that, or if you are familiar with using KNOPPIX, the Linux bootable CD, you may be able to mount the Windows drive and use a CD burner to transfer the files over.

FreeBSD isn't neccesarily less secure than OpenBSD. It's just that OpenBSD is audited for exploits. Its default install doesn't have any remote security holes.

FreeBSD patches all of the holes that they find, so a properly updated FreeBSD is just as secure as an OpenBSD system. It is a little bit more user-friendly than a default OpenBSD install, though. That, and FreeBSD has a larger selection of packages available through the ports system.

Have you tried setting up static IP addresses? What happens if you give the machine 192.168.1.16 instead of .15?

How is the WAP connected to the hub? Is that with a crossover cable, an uplink port, or is it just straight-through patch cabling?

Ew.

Have you tried the card in another system? What OS are you running?

If you try the card and the game in another system, you may be looking at a new video card. But, since it's relatively new, you may be able to get an exchange per a manufacurer/vendor warranty or something.

Try removing the CMOS jumper on the motherboard for a few seconds. That should set the system back to factory defaults, resetting your FSB back to default.

If you're looking for stock performance, I'd check to see if your motherboard has AUTO settings for everything, including FSB. If not, I'd check the AMD website for the exact multiplier ratio and the FSB settings for the chip.

Have you tried reading the manpage for mkbootdisk? I'd imagine that there would be some options listed there for your particular situation.

Since none of us know your exact setup, it'd be kind of tough to know what options you would need.

Setting up a serial console under FreeBSD

...Direct from the FreeBSD handbook! :D

Why are you wanting to share your Program Files folder, anyways?

If you're trying to make multiple computers share a single program, that may be tough. Certain applications may not function correctly if certain registry keys are not found on the system that's trying to access the program.

Try running the system file checker. Put your Windows ME disc in the drive, click Start -> then click Run. Type in sfc /scannow. That may restore any files that are missing.

Can you do Safe Mode?

When the system starts, try tapping either F8 or the Ctrl key, then you should be able to select Safe mode. Let us know if you can get there okay, and your desktop loads.

Do you have another system? A friend's system? I'm sure you could borrow one to see the result...

I am not saying that you are wrong, but most BSD people that I know tend to feel better with slackware. Kind of interesting.

Slackware has "BSD-ish" init scripts, which does allow BSD users to be somewhat comfortable with it. From my experience, though, Gentoo is more BSD-like than slackware.

...And then there's Arch Linux, which is even more like BSD...

can you ping that mail server using the ping command in the Command Prompt window? If so, I'd check out your firewall's settings. It could be blocking ports 25 and 110.

You're probably right on either of those parts. Do you have spares of those items you can swap?

What type of system do you have?

Certain system BIOSes are set such that they try and boot from USB devices. Your digital camera card reader is considered a Mass Storage Device, and the system could be trying to boot from it. Disable USB emulation in the BIOS, and see if that doesn't help.

i have windows XP in my computer, the problem is, whenever im enter into Internet, after sometimes my computer shutdown automatically

What messages are given? I'm pretty sure that if you could give us some error messages, we could definitely help you with your issue. Have you tried the tools provided earlier?

Hi,

for dual boot systems running Win and Linux I just modify boot.ini.
I copy the boot sector of the second hard disk (where my linux is installed) into a file hdb.b via the Linux dd utility and place it on C:

My boot.ini looks then as follows:

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=C:\hdb.b
[operating systems]
C:\hdb.b="hdb.b:lilo, hdb2: debian Linux 2.4.24"
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows"

Kind regards,
gw3

That's an excellent suggestion if you're running WinNT/2k/XP, but the poster is running a Windows ME system.

Aside from setting active partitions or changing BIOS boot sequence settings, a boot loader like lilo, grub, or XOSL would be your only option to dual boot ME and any other OS.

I've got one of those cards.

It's worked fine under slackware 9 and Debian Woody, I think both use 2.4.18, I think. I wasn't trying to install to the disk, but the kernel recognized it, and spun up the disks just fine.

I was running on an old PIIX4 chipset at the time. What motherboard are you using?

What kind of text is displayed? What are the specs on the system? What devices are installed on the system? What programs are installed?

Have you installed the latest chipset drivers for your system? Checked that APM or ACPI is enabled in the BIOS?

There are any number of things that could be causing this to happen. We just need more information to help you out.

topic of post edited to more accurately reflect content of post

I'd try a new processor and new memory. Have you tried one chip of RAM in one slot, and then booted it? If it's bad memory, that will root that out? If you try it with no RAM, the system should at least beep loudly.

I bought some SUPER CHEAP RAM recently, and my system would beep very loudly, then the fans would die and the system would power down. It took 3 processors and 2 motherboards to finally realize how dumb I was to buy 256MB of PC2100 for $20.

If you've got a new motherboard, you should only need the driver disc for your motherboard's integrated devices, if it has any.

When you say "OEM", you should have a CD-- even OEMs ship Windows XP discs with their systems. But, a retail version, or another OEM's disc, should suffice if you're just copying files. You shouldn't even need to use the Files & Setting Transfer Wizard-- it should just work, and it should run the Found New Hardware wizard if it needs to.

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?
