No. Java needs a VM to run (not neceserially the sun one though, i think there are others)

mac isnt for games they suck at it and theres hardly any

you do know that none of your windows programs will work on a mac right? there are mac versions of some but there are very little games for the mac.Seriously, try a mac before you buy

No windows programs work on mac but there are sometimes mac versions. There are hardly any mac games

Its a card for wireless networking

Either a: there not installed any more or b: your shorcut or .exe associations are broken.

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

try the ones labelled LNK (shorcut) and EXE

unzip them (if they need to be) then rightclick and choose "merge" on the .reg file. Reboot afterwards

we change over where i go in scotland in a few months which is odd. How the hell are we supposed to get Digital TV when atm we dont even get 5 and only half of our town has gas or sewage

try it in safe mode?

there basically the same

the second way is more appropriate if you want to check the values to make sure they are valid before inserting them

what script support do you have?

anything serverside? php? asp?

You need to use a windows username and password. The username must have NO SPACES (renaming your account WONT work) and have a password set.

I love how norton is so shit that it neeeds its own removal tool

yeah i think it should be legal if you use his key as as far as I know, all xp disks are the same (not the oem ones though)

You must use a retail NOT OEM disk.

you just use

(buttonname).enabled = false

that background intelligent service i talked to you about should be ON by default in xp. Some spywares disable it as the service is needed to update windows and some software like virus scanners, so i adise you to run a virus scan and check the rest of your services are set tp what they should be.

you make no sense

Go into control panel ->administrative tools -> services and make sure than "Background ntelligent Transfer Service" is enabled

C:/ or C:/windows

you can edit it through Control Panel -> System -> Advanced Tab -> Startup and Recovery settings button -> edit button

theyve just admitted theyve lost more

do a google for SYSTEM("Pause")

the client does it

A machine fingerprint isnt a thing, its details about what hardware you have

when you install windows, product activation uses one. It sends a code generated from what motherboard, cpu etc.... you have and sends it away. If it finds that you have windows on more than a certain amount of different hardware, your product key gets banned and you have to ring up

i got crucial, cheap n cheerful

you need to use the threadworker object

512 is the minimum
WoW runs well on 768mb ram

no, go for the supported suff.

That mega-expensive ram doesnt make a massive difference unless you have an insanely overclockable CPU like an Intel Extreme

yeah that DLL is spyware. Run a full antivirus and spyware scan

no. i never mentioned angelina jolie?

i said i thaught it was terrible

Download CPU-Z and post the data here

You can use this:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301

USE CAUTION.

It can change the catalog of installed programs, so that it will no longer say that something is already installed

Use MS Access database

The OP wanted Oracle

Check the RAM by using something called MemTest86. Google it, and chose free download. Download the .ISO image and burn it to a CD using an image burner program like DeepBurner (freeware) . Simply burning it as a file wont work, we want to burn the .ISO so that its bootable

Its a made up mishmash of HTML, C++, and some english subliminal advertising.

I thaught antitrust was the worst film ever made

Use StreamReader i think

The book "Visual Basic 2005 Step By Step" by Mcrosoft Press has a very good chapter about this

he tried it and they ignored him

Try something called Bloodshed Dev C++. Its free and opensource, and uses a windows port of the GNU compiler. It handles both C and C++

On their site make sure you download the Beta version, the stable one is old

yes

32 bit is pointless with 4gb as windows will never allocate moe than 2gb to applications, and wil allocate the other 2gb to the kernel, wasting it.

Sturm sort of suggested this earlier, so he deserves credit too

yeah nano is a good tool, if you ever want to network with windows, you will probably use it to edit a file called smb.conf

maybe your grammar checker doesnt support the hires fonts?

I know that some screen readers sometimes have issues with them

the computername is a hostname, thats easy, you can also get the IP and domain easialy but not the windows username.

no

you cant hide your MAC. Its not possible. You can change it but not hide it.

Make sure you use high quality thermal paste on the corequad (buy some arctic silver, its the best but damn expensive) as it can get very hot

When buying the case/mobo ensure that "fat" PCI-Express cards such as video cards with huge heatsinks can fit in the case and some cases have bad design, and they wont.

what do you mean by userid

SDK includes things like tomact i think

yeah ive been pestering him for ages to get AVG

AVG + Windows Defender works good for me

if not then there is a sure-fire but very complex way of doing it:

login as ROOT
cd /
cd etc
cd X11 (case sensitive!)
nano xorg.conf

Nano is a text editor like EDIT for DOS. You can edit the file yousrelf (its easy e.g just change driver=xxxxx) and then hit control+x to exit and then push Y to save

I will try your "administrator privileges" suggestion. The Vista machine has only one account, so we log in as the administrator

thats not the same thing. Vista is wierd. The administrator doesnt usually run apps as the administrator (for security)

Even if you are an admin user, programs will not be allowed to do certain things (usually registry related)

To get round this, you have to right click on the .exe and choose run as administraor. This is the way i get games to run on vista

are you logging in as root?

try it as him, not the user you made
