Social engineering, mainly...

many opensource projects run with no cash at all

konqueror for example isnt a well known web browser but its pretty good. runs on a shoestring budget.

its bull it will still continue with or without cash

thats the beauty of opensource. Lots of software is developed almost entirely due to donations and voluenteers.

Just find out the motherboard model and google for its manual. Thats the only real way. many motherboards will also need a BIOS update to support newer CPUs (if they support them at all)

CPU-z can be of some help in finding out what is in it at the minute.

or try putting IE8 into compatibility mode its under tools somewhere

try downgrading to IE7

IE8 aint a release candidate yet so its probably not been tested for compatibility with McAfee

Its very hard to write to protected memory NT based systems, specifically windows server, as they have extra protections on by default. Only real way to access kernel memory space from a program you make is to write a kernel level device driver but as i said, it will be easialy blocked as 64 bit versions and versions of windows server do not allow unsigned kernel drivers.

The key itself isnt stored. Prior to office XP there was no activation so any key which was valid would work. It was only checked to see if it was valid at install time.

its $12,995

System Specs?
Check microsoft update web site.

You using any other security software which is interfering with it?
Does it work in safe mode with networking?

use the same Class C IPs (192.168.x.x), just put each network on different subnets

Did some googling and it appears you cant recover the key for versions less than office XP

Path cannot be more than 255 chars on NT based systems using NTFS

yeah i disasembled my dead Hitatchi/IBM Deskstar once and it had wierd glass platters. You could see why it had died, the magnetic material had actually worn off of them and turned to dust. There was a groove where the head had hit it at 7000 rpm and disintegrated lol.

try the program Magic Jellybean

VC++ Use "CLR" Which is managed code.

It can produce either CLR (.NET) or plain (unmanaged) win32 code

Thats right, should be fine. Use the routers setup cd / web interface (FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS!!!!) to set it all up. Initial setup will require a wired ethernet connection. During initial setup you can give a name to your wireless network and (Definately do this step!) set up encryption so people cant intercept it.

There are two types of router. Ones with modems built in and ones without. If your broadband is ADSL (comes over a telephone line) and your router has a modem, then you can get rid of your usb modem and the router will take its place, saving space. You will need your connection details from your ISP.

Ones without a built in modem are still fine though, just run an ethernet cable from the modem to the routers WAN port (should be clearly marked, it will be the one port thats set aside/a different colour from the rest). If your broadband is not ADSL (e.g it comes over the same cable as your TV) then you must use this option.

I had the error on a thinkpad and it never did any damage in my case, but i cant guarantee anything, maybe its best to err on the side of caution and not use the drive until its sorted.

Its common to get that on laptops. Laptops supply much less power to USB devices than desktops, so if you use a drive which does not get power from the wall, you will get that error message.

Either buy a wall-power lead for the drive, a powered usb hub, or put up with the message.

Yes. Just set Form1.controlbox = false

Do you actually have the compiler installed and configured properley?
What platform is it on?

What OS is he using anyway?

Only problem I have ever had with daniweb was with IE in enhanced security mode on Windows Server platforms

Yeah that would work too. That just moves the my documents, as opposed to the entire profile.

You can local users and groups under computer management. You can specify profile paths here.

Works fine on FF3 and IE7 and IE8 Beta 2

Upgrade to FF3 or use IE.

I get a similar issue on a lenovo c200 laptop. Ive been reporting it since like 2007 and no one is listening

does it give you an option to submit the error report?
does it find any solutions?

what are the specs of the machine

the dos 16 bit layer doesnt exist at all on server 2003 or xp pro x64, and therefore i assume vista. So perhaps it is time to upgrade

to get recovery console installed and configured so its actually helpful (not installed / locked down by default). It is very handy.

a) insert xp cd
b) in run do (where X is your CD Drive) X:\i386\winnt32.exe /cmdcons
c) in run, type regedit
d) REBOOT. IMPORTANT. DO NOT CHOOSE RECOVERY CONSOLE YET
d) in regedit go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\
Setup\RecoveryConsole
e) Change the values of the keys SetCommand and SecurityLevel to 1
f) Reboot again. Choose recovery console at the bootloader menu

g) Log into your XP install using recovery console. At the prompt type:

SET AllowAllPaths = TRUE
SET AllowRemovableMedia = TRUE
SET AllowWildCards = TRUE
SET NoCopyPrompt = TRUE

h) now the recovery console is installed and configured for future use. its commands are very much like DOS.

what are the microsoft reference numbers for the hotfixes which fail?
it will say under update history

what app is it

im a psychopath apparently...

delete it via recovery console?

yeah repair install breaks windows updates anyway, do dialafix after the repair reinstall, them follow

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943144

do my option

try googling for winsock fix
also try using dialafix to reinstall windows update

http://www.dougknox.com/xp/file_assoc.htm

meant for XP but it should work

HOSTS file is fine

Check your HOSTS file too

precision integer unscaled value and a 32-bit integer scale

zero or positive, the scale is the number of digits to the right of the decimal point

in other words, a mantissa and an exponent - standard form.

e.g 4 x 10^ 8

the arbitary value (the 4) and the scale (the 8)
each part is stored as a seperate integer

which means the big int in my example is 400,000,000

computers do floating point the same way as mentioned in #2

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbitrary-precision_arithmetic

I think it is Standard Form. e.g 0.00000864 is 8.64 × 10^-6

Its a problem on your ISPs end probably

i get mine instantly (which pisses me off - lol 12,000 threads means if i dont check my emails for a month i have like 500)

or integrate the chipset drivers using nlite

is it overheating?

if you removed the heatsink you MUST reapply the thermal compound

go to the dell website into driver support and enter your service tag, it will show all drivers for your build.

try updating your drivers

you got enough power?

go to run and type cmd

in the command prompt type

sfc /scannow

and wait. you may need your vista cd.

In your BIOS make sure you disable "Bootesector (MBR) Antivirus protection" (may be called something similar).
