does it use MFC at all?

If it does then dont try the free Visual c++ express as it doesnt support it, but i think the full Visual Studio.NET 2005 does.

what is the function?

try running the program under vista using administrator priviliges (not the same as having an administrator account, google it, it works, i use it for games on vista) and also have a play with the program compatibility wizard

blender is too complex IMHO

no mine, i posted the same thing but yours came out above it

ignore this post

daniwebs time is wrong!!!

Its 23:08 now
daniweb says 11pm!

just type this at a console (command prompt)

dpkg --reconfigure xserver-xorg

(a command prompt is available by holding down control + alt and hitting F2)

You will then be led through a series of menus where you can choose your resolution, driver etc. It should choose appropriate values automatically

Im on GMT and that and the "post sincelast visit" thing never seems to work quite right either

get rid of norton security, its a POS.

IMHO the only good piece of norton software right now is ghost, the rest are slow and buggy

Just enable file and print sharing

infraction?

Home server is very limited and i think its OEM only.

Windows 2000 can handle up to 5 clients at a go

I had a similiar problem when I was using debian awhile back. As Jbennet suggested, do dpkg --reconfigure xserver-org and ONLY select the res of our monitor when configuring.

hes putting in a different card now, but it should select the options for that automatically right?

Seems to me as if the security centre is corrupted

does the SFC command work in vista?

yeah, 800 is the minumum for high end cards using SLI

login as root

dpkg --reconfigure xserver-xorg

This will run the graphics card configuration tool.

if the graphics dont work do alt+f2 to get a command line

ive never really used sage, i was just throwing it into the pile, but i know its an ms product for accounants

no, the auto restart on error thing is in windows -> control panel -> system -> startup (which he cant get into at the minute)

either way, you will need a win2k cd

you like MS money?
Sage?
KMyMoney?

get a windows 2000 cd and boot into recovery console (i think 2k has it, xp does)

also you might not have to do a full reinstall, a repair reinstall might do

speak to him first.

550w+ (no need for over 750)

and yeah its the amperage on the 12v rails that matter the most. Look out for that

Cool n Quiet?

You might not ned to wipe

As soon as the PC starts up start hammering away at the F8 key. You will get to a text menu, Choose safemode. A load of stuff will flow down the screen, the system will be slow and look like crap, but its okay. Eventually you will get to the welcome screen. There will be an account there which you cant usually see called Administrator. It should have no password. Log in as it and then use control panel to delete the forgotten password

seriously, mphanrobin, make a new thread and stop hijacking other peoples

sorry i couldnt be of any more help, i havent got much experience with sun h/w

debian is good i like it

what access do you have?

ssh?
vnc?

Opensuse and Fedora generally tend to be slow.

I like debian, if you a network connection via ethernet, just dowwnload the <200mb netinstall image and it will download what you need (choose desktop + base system)

debian is nice and fast, and if youve used ubuntu before, should be familiar

the installer is text based but good, if you can install Xp you can do this

also, by the way, to get rid of GRUB and reinstall the XP bootloader use the command "fixboot" at the recovery console

USB or Ethernet modem?

The max resolution probably wont be much higher anyway.

I have a compaq proliant (dual p2) and it does 1024x768 at the limited number of colours and 800x600 at the better colour, why is this?

So I am strongly suspecting the power supply, but the fact that specific (graphics intensive) applications cause shutdown also points to the graphics card.

Its overheating

There are some excellent ones on the sun site

WoW ,i can buy from retail store for about $100.00 or less here in Canada .check here ,local store about 20 mile from me and they sell online .

I converted from £s and ms are really expensive here

a full vista premium is £220 which is $460. MS have like a 300% markup in europe

a retail copy of XP home (full) + SP2 is about $300

sounds like its trying to generate a thumbnail for the film, which is slowing it down

right click -> view -> icons

means it wont make thumbnails

I DIDNT ASK FOR UR OPINION !!!!!!! and why i said i dont care because its true i dont care about someone is annoying me lol see ya

actually you did, by posting here

and many C++ compilers run in vista (i have VC5 running even (dont ask why, long story) - it works fine after some tinkering with the installer)

they should get it, linux apps run about the same for me on freebsd as they do in debian, in fact.

This really isn't a valid point. Even though Mac is UNIX, most Linux and BSD software does require a seperate Mac port.

How come FreeBSD can run linux apps natively

Embedded VC or Embedded VB (Obsoleted) or Platform Builder (I think its for OEMs Only). I think SharpDevelop might be able to make .NET CF apps.

there is definately more linux software than mac software

so-called educational films taught children to hide under their desks in case of nuclear attack

Its actually not bad practice. Falling debris are he main cause of death within the first 10 minutes of a blast , provided you are not vaporised. Therefore, earthquake style techniques like hiding under funriture should apply

not a clue ;)

DOS is still there, somewhere hidden in Windows. You just have to look for it.

There are lots of men who wish their wife would leave them for an alien!

No. Thats not DOS, Thats NT pretending to be DOS.

yeah theres been constant war

1914-1918 www1
1939 - 1945 ww2
1945-1990 cold war
1990 - 2007 w.o.t etc

: ) hahahah good one ;)

Try using a timer control so that each time it ticks (you can set the tick interval in the properties) it makes it move

Doesnt daniweb have member pruning?

Like no activity for 12 months = deletion?

Yeah hit F8 repeatedly when it starts up and choose SAFE MODE . Lost of text will flow down the screen and the graphics will look crappy but dont worry, thats ok. Once you ecentually get to the welcome screen you will see an account thats not usually there called "administrator". It SHOULD have no password

You really shouldnt use tables for layout, you should use CSS divs

Yes, thats the way to do i under windows

Is it 98/NT/2k/XP?

If you mean the HDD password then you are out of luck. I lost it for my old R30 and IBM said i would require a new motherboard (luckily i remembered it)
