OK, just back and the patch was on my USB key filed as Office2003SP3-KB923618-FullFile-ENU.exe
And on my Office 2003 CD the file to run is indeed setup.exe.

Hope this helps.

Small world. I have my old Office 2003 CD and I look for the setup.exe to run. However I'm just about to run out the door so I'll be back with a note about a specific service patch for Office. (No, it's not for the OS but let's hope it's at least XP SP3 for the OS.) There's a patch I have to install for Office 2003 if it is to work right. I'm out of here for 2 hours but will add detail later.

Look at the example at https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd492144.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396

While your code is yours I see problems aplenty that you need to address one by one. I would like to see you
1. Set your countdown variable before you enabled the timer.
2. Just use one countdown variable then convert to HH;MM;SS for display.
3. Disable the timer when it hits zero. Yours looks to keep running.

There are more than a dozen methods noted at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methods_of_computing_square_roots
While something interesting to explore, which method would you like to find source code for?

Given the code has been kicking around for decades, is this something one should write today?

Good question. I wonder if http://bytecodeviewer.com/ would let you see this. In the video I see a memory pane show up.

One more thing to check out. Is the file printui.dll in the usual Windows folders?
The old SFC /SCANNOW may or may not bring it back.

How is this different from your other question at https://www.daniweb.com/programming/software-development/threads/500016/network-sniffer-using-c

Another update. It took a while to remember how I found a drive letter manager (or even that name!) So here's the path I took.

http://www.sevenforums.com/hardware-devices/112479-windows-7-does-not-assign-drive-letters-external-hdds.html then over to http://www.uwe-sieber.de/usbdlm_e.html

It's been updated for Windows 8 and 10 so they've been busy. Sorry, still off doing other things but the drive caddy is on my list of things to do.

Update. My caddy for my y510p just arrived so later I'll plug that in with some HDD. Next I'll try some USB sticks to see what happens.

There are many prior discussions about USB enumeration and in rare instances having to clean out a certain registry tree to clear the road for Windows to pick a new drive letter.

It's an old issue where say Drive F: was used for the USB stick but the new HDDs use F: and the letter assignment fails on the USB stick later. A trip to disk management usually is the next stop.

However I have a question. Is that asking too much from users today?

This looks to be on a prior Daniweb discussion. Try this link:
https://www.daniweb.com/programming/software-development/threads/464673/unable-to-pop-out-values-cpu-sim-

Before you go too far, consider current sniffers that are open source and working.

And even before you do that, for wired networks, many packets will never be seen by your Ethernet card because "Ethernet switches" won't send you packets not sent to you. I've seen folk dive into this then get very discouraged as they learn the packets are never seen by you on the LAN.

Just one thing. That message is likely the display going into sleep mode. I've seen that when the PC is working fine but the video mode is out of range of the display. The new to PC person reports the PC is going into sleep mode which is a little off the mark.

To me this sounds like the maker of the PC needs a call to sort out the bum PC. Maybe it's just a driver issue but they should fix it.

https://docs.python.org/2/library/urllib.html notes more work for you when proxies are involved.

There are web articles about this but now that 10 is released I'd try it with articles after the release date. Why the DVD at all? Why PowerISO?

http://blogs.technet.com/b/canitpro/archive/2015/04/02/step-by-step-installing-windows-10-on-oracle-virtualbox.aspx notes a method that uses the .ISO file. Try that method.

The brand new HDD would be prepared in the host OS as usual and some have written that dynamically allocated didn't work so use the other option.

I may be duplicating this issue soon on my Win 8.1 Lenovo y510p Yesterday I ordered one of those caddies to place SSD or HDD into the ODD space. Until then there were incidents where drive letters assigned conflicted with a newly added internal drive in desktops. Mind you this may move around with which Windows but until I get my caddy and see if same happens, look around for this:

Right click on Computer icon on Desktop > Manage > Double click on Disk management > See if there any unassigned drive exist or not. If exist then manually "Change Drive Letter & Path"

This doesn't sound simple at all. A quick look at AFWall+ (Android Firewall +) which had source code up at github(?) looks to find it's far from simple.

https://github.com/ukanth/afwall looks active. Just 5 days ago.

I've seen such written in C++, Java and others. Typically the language choice is more about the author's skill at the language rather than the age old debate of what language is best for the job.

I wonder if you are asking for what words to use on google? How about
https://www.google.com/#q=machine+vision+products+matching+patterns

Given that there are such systems today, the short answer is yes.

However if you were to write such, do you have the time to create it? If not, then you hunt for tools.

As Moschops noted, you need the source and to compile that with debugging sympbols. If not, old fashioned debugging with printf and such.

Is this that 2007 model? It's well past it's time. That said I do know some that found it for 120 bucks on a Woot sale. Try the usual. A new CMOS battery and hope.

Cheat. Write them to a file.csv, bring it into Excel or LibreOffice then...

Remember that there many types of Random. Linear, Gaussian, Normal and a few more. I love random for this. Which one do you want?

I wonder if you are thinking of old friends like TurboC, Visual Studio, etc?

gdb is more like this -> http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2010/03/debug-c-program-using-gdb/

I often find folk not know of gdb basics or wish it did more.

This sounds like you want to "emulate a browswer." This isn't a new idea but frankly why bother? You won't gain much except, well, I can't tell why folk do that.

Just a post of commiseration here. No version control, a rat's maze and possibly a decade of some system that grew by everyone saying "patch it and be quick about it."

I can't quite put this into the right words but I have seen management lose great folk over this. That is, the situation of no version control, a system spread over OSes, tools and more then the "next guy" is told they are not good enough because those prior were able to work with it without the big redo.

Sure, folk (programmers?) can make do but here you are with what looks like a production system ready for the next move. Let's hope you didn't call this system Jenga.

Back to font issues perhaps? My first font print test was from Word. I set the font to the barcode one we were going to use then printed that from Word. That working I moved to my app.

Not really. Let's say the barcode is printing (you didn't tell?) One system I had out there started to falter. OK, it worked fine with my Symbolics scanner so a look see found a cheap MIC scanner. I increased the font 2 steps up and the MIC scanner finally worked. To be sure it would keep working I nudged it up 2 more steps. It's been working for about a decade now.

Two ideas.

1. Change the value in the first to "apple".
2. Try no value. http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_option_value.asp writes if you omit value what happens.

cblock. Nothing I found was automatic as in "take this project and move it to C:\projects and do what is needed to paths and copy all the stuff for me."

While the discussion I linked to helped me in the move I still needed to copy/paste the project folder over and then edit the sln.

-> Now there is something I must share. At no time did I decide to migrate the 100 projects. I do this only when needed so why migrate a dead project? There was this OCD programmer that tried but they don't work here anymore. Burned out pretty fast.

cblock, the link I gave noted " relative base path " and more. It's far from automatic and something I wish Visual Studio did better.

Did you try simple? That is, open the project and save as in your new location?
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/626631/how-to-relocate-visual-studio-project-sln-file covers this in a few angles.

While it's a passing idea, that is, companies are moving away from this, self hosting has always been an option. Take a current Linux based web server system and run it yourself. That's been on the table for a very long time.

Then we have Daniweb itself. I looked around and didn't see where it was hosted. May have missed the obvious but why not ask Dani?

The good news is you used copy and paste. That means you didn't lose files.

As to the external I'd try the last hurrahs before last rites. To me this means.

1. Use a zero fill app for the external. This will take some time. After, partition, format and try it again.
2. You didn't reveal what the PC host was. I find desktop front ports to best be forgotten and laptop USB ports to only be used when on AC power for USB powered drive.

As to the MBR, I see google searches find how to rewrite just that. But that won't bring it back to operation, that's for the partition and format to bring it back.

Here I found many examples. As a Word file contains many elements you have to tell others what you wanted to read. What good is a Word text reader when you want the author field content?

Java Word reader looks to be at https://poi.apache.org/

I'd start with the PICkit 2 Starter Kit since it comes with 12 lessons.
There are too many web pages on PIC's so I'll give a node to the starter kit and this link. http://www.talkingelectronics.com/projects/StartHereWithF628/StartHereF628-P1.html

This looks like intextual.com to me. Since it's commercial ware, they should answer your queries.

To make these there is an entry price of about 20 bucks.

I'm thinking rotate. There's HTML and CSS for that.
Longer answer at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20061774/rotate-an-image-in-image-source-in-html

I see 2 easy reductions in code.

Take the msg, "DO=0x00" and if this is the always case for the string, convert the last srting number into a number. Now you can use a classic switch to set those values.

Next, why not set all 5 bit to off, and only set the bits you need in each case to on?

Those 2 alone could shrink the source by half the lines.

Now back to school. If I wanted to be really clever I'd look at this as if it was a circuit and use a circuit optimizer to reduce it to a truth table.

While I've seen live code systems in the past you want it for VS. Take a gander at VS Anywhere.

That's not a big sin to repeat code. Solving it seems more important.

So OX? It appears you can host it on your server.

Did you check prior answers like http://forums.asp.net/t/1846158.aspx?accept+input+only+number+with+2+decimal+javascript

To dive into this one you need to look at the line where it fails. Is it an access issue or something else.

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/2kk9bxk9%28v=vs.110%29.aspx?cs-save-lang=1&cs-lang=vb#code-snippet-1 is about the SetValue but you wrote "access" which could mean something else.

What function failed and what exception was thrown?

About line 13? You may have to catch the exceptions to see what it is.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hf9z3s65%28v=vs.110%29.aspx looks complete as to the code you need to add.

Old fashioned here. At the office we have a collecton of phones, tablets and usually, if we wrote it write it looks fine on the 4 inch phone, 7 inch and 10 inch tablets then it's fine on other Androids. So far we've avoided the online things ( https://www.google.com/#q=online+android+emulator )

I find the emulator to be fine here. But I had to install Intel's speed up tools before I would use it a lot.

mouaadable, since I don't know your IP plan I can't see what's up. But the DNS is not one I'd use.

Besides the IP plan, the most common gaffe with using a router as a WAP is folk plug into the router's WAN port, the next is they didn't turn off the router DHCP.

The thing is that your random sequence may be the same on each run. I don't see a setseed in there. See example and why at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5533191/java-random-always-returns-the-same-number-when-i-set-the-seed

There are other errors but your question is muddy.

This looks to not handle the new line. This was discussed before at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20108334/traverse-file-line-by-line-using-fscanf

mouaadable, that app can share it to Ethernet which can use a WAP on. Remember that almost all routers can be turned into a WAP. Google "How to use a router as a WAP."

As to the hot WiFi, at the office with some 100 laptops, none seem to have that trouble. Strange issue?

This looks like a job for (fanfare music) VirtualRouter. Since hijacking occurs here's the link. https://virtualrouter.codeplex.com/

Since you want to share your WiFi connection, this alone may do fine without adding more gear.
