yup we used to have many more boards. they never got used.

Just use the general database board

yep because then we would need

Derby
Oracle
MS SQL
MySQL
PostgreSQL
Raima
MS SQL CE
DB2
Firebird
MS Access
Foxpro

etc....

because hardly anyone uses it

best place would be the databases board under web development

Yeah the Core2 has the EMT64 extensions

an intel 64bit processor

Do you mean an actual 64 bit CPU? Like an Itanium? Or do you mean a normal x86 CPU with the EMT64 extensions?

it went through smoothly ending after a while in silence with no report and other indication

its supposed to do that

They are the same, except one s $40 more because it comes with premium

Never ever ever get home basic its terrible. Home premium is the way to go.

64 bit will let you take better advantage of your 3gb of ram.

A 17" monitor (especially a wide one) will be far too small and will look crap. Get a 19".

when it is booting, force it into safe mode with the F8 Key.

Yup. I said that in the fitst post, but he cant boot into safe mode at all, and the menu to select safe mode has no option to disable auto restart.

No. Vista eats disk spacs.

Works fine for me on server 2003 and vista buis, then again im on a domain so maybe its diffrent

Yes, they are.

And dont post your private emails here. Its against the rules.

Go to run
Type mmc
Add the certificates snapin by going file -> add / remove snap-ins

Stick in the XP pro cd

go to run and type sfc /scannow

will check for corrupted system files and restore them from the cd

The moral of the story is never ever ever to change your username. it causes big problems.

Lol yeah open sauce

Mark as solved?

What service pack you on?

Yeah, dont dive right in with 3d games. Space invaders / asteroids is a very challenging product but a good one to get started with. You any good at maths?

That would be why. XP Sound support is crap out of the box unless you have an AC97 or SB16 based card.

Use CCLeaner and ATF cleaner for removing crap
Use TweakVI for tweking settings

For resizing/deleting partitions the build in volume management in the vista administraive tools console is fine. It can now resize/shrink NTFS partitions which kind of renders partitionmagic etc... obsolete

Overheat or lack of enough power

It either reads 288 MB of RAM or 160 mb of RAM

Thats a known problem in older intel chipsets. Upgrading the BIOS fixes it.

Thats because the battery is dead...

Mauybe the charging circuit too, in which case its new laptop time

Nah the RPC Server service and the Server service are diffrent

Server is used for windows filesharing and other stuff . You dont need it to browse, only to share. To browse files on other PCs you only need the Workstation service started, and client for microsoft networks installed.

Because it wont do the flash otherwise. IBM made the bios update idiot-proof. Wont let you do it unless you have a 100% charged battery and AC power as if the power dies partyway through a flash your machine is dead.

If its MSSQL, and the pc accessing it is on the domain, it will first try and authenticate any usernames/passwords against the domain controller, whereas clients on a workgroup will authenticate against the usernames/passwords stored in that instance of SQL server instead. Hence the delay is probably caused by contacting the domain controller.

yeah but people can still steal them

just put in the path

e.g

yeah i have an R30 with P3 and it cost me £50 ($100) for a battery lol

yeah the process is called slipstreaming

This pisses me off completely, as I have a service pack 1 cd only, and need to update every time to SP2

You can integrate Sp2 (possibly sp3 but dont take my word for it) using a tool called Nlite and burn a new cd

hmm, i have not encountered that one before,

sounds like somehow the update cirrupted your system files and possibly also the store of backup files on your hard drive which SFC recovers from. To get round this, boot info safe mode, stick in your install CD and go to run. Type sfc /scannow, wait until complete and reboot.

Have you tried a system restore?

If that doesnt work a repair install may be necesarry.

You need to allow the Everyone group read permissions (big security risk)

http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=DSHY-3TLQ2L#BIOS

Windows 2000 was only supported as of 1.13 and XP from 1.22. If you have a lower version, thats maybe why it doesnt work.

READ the instructions here. ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/spsdib54.txt

Understand what you are doing and DO NOT turn off the laptop during the flash or you will brick it

You will need a working 100% charged battery AND mains charger

no dont do it off a random website

the update is on the IBM site, and theres 2 versions including one you can run from within XP.

yeah bartPE is only for XP (possibly 2000). It wont run on XP 64 or Server 2003 without tweaking.

No. Read the post!

"that does not require being in Windows?"

Your work may just block daniweb?

Maybe it needs a BIOS update?

I needed one to get mine to get it to keep the volume at the same level when i restarted it as before

theres a keyboard shortcut to pause it i think its shift + break or something?

it should be fine though

Ive got an ancient R series which shipped with NT4/98 and it runs xp fine

xp is almost identical to win2k so i dont see why there is a problem.

make sure you have up to date drivers

also ensure the windows audio service and plug and play are set to automatic

No.

Obviously, the browser needs to be able to see the code in order to render it.

what is the actual problem?

check your HOSTS file to see if theres any redirections setup in there

512mb ram and something like a Pentium M or Celeron would be fine for a cheap web surfing laptop.

you can have SP3 without having IE7 and vice versa

dont know

how are you finding 7?

Possibly you can change the setting from the recovery console?
