How much ram have you got?
How much have you assigned to the virtual machine?

You need enough ram to run both

E.g if you assign 1gb to the virtual machine, you really need at least 2gb of total ram nstalled in order for the system to run well.

um, tell your parents to stop paying his subscription?

Yeah to share the usb drive turn on file sharing (if youve got printer sharing set up, and its xp, this should be on already)

just right click the drive in my computer and go into sharing and security (may be its own menu or under properties i cant remember) and share it. If you want, you can map the drive as a network drive on the other PC so when it boots up, it will automatically find it and assign it a drive letter.

I got a linksys WRT54G myself

Basically NAT handles all the translation, and DHCP handles IP adressing.

Just plug the modem into the WAN port on the router and then set it up. Then its prettymuch plug and play for your clients.d

Get the router. It will save you many many headaches later on. A switch is bad because your modem generally isnt set up in such a way that it can simply be shared like that. Its just a dumb gateway.

It will be $60 to $80 USD

A switch is simply a switch. Its a piece of dumb electronics whereas a Router is smart lets you do stuff like setup port forwarding (essential for gaming, setting up servers etc..) , firewalling, and most importantly NAT and DHCP. That way you can just add clients to it in a plug n play fashion and they can all share the one internet connection and have a nice web management interface.

Hubs are slow and if you are very paranoid, i suppose you could consider them a security risk. Theres no reason to get a hub when a switch is virtually the same price.

No software needed. Its all plug and play

Go for the router. Expect to pay ay £30 to £50 for a wireless one.

Note: get a decent brand. I reccomend linksys.

Open Network and Sharing Center

He stated he is running XP. Those instructions are for vista.

well do you have PHP installed?

http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread78131.html

If you just do apt-get install phpmyadmin it will do all the install and config for you.

What OS and what webserver are you using

I am trying to set up remote access to mysql on a headless server. From what I have read this can be done by installing phpmyadmin on the client pc.

No thats wrong. the idea is to install PHPMyAdmin and host it the web server on the mysql server.

Its a web application. You can then use the web interface to control the server remotely.

Router (wired if you dont need wifi)
Plug the ethernet from the modem into the WAN port on that
Connect clients to the client ports
Then setup windows file/print sharing.

XP home or pro?

unlikely, sounds like maybe the motherboard

It could possibly have damaged the motherboard, im not sure. Had a bad PSU once and it killed everything attached to the pc. If so it may expalin your POSt errors etc..

35-40 is average but 65 is bad. Really under load you want 40-55.

dont think its whats causing your problem though. Try memtest86 on your ram. And what are the specs of your PSU?

Sp3 shouldnt make any speed differences.

SP3 inrtroduces like 1 obscure new feature. thats it. Essentially its just a rollup of all the patches released since xp sp2 came out (basically in order to stop people who have to reinstall from having to download like 1gb of crap) so it should behave exactly like a fully patched xp sp2 system.

Is your laptop AMD though? XP SP3 doesnt like AMD machines...

Yeah sounds like PSU or Motherboard.

Is the CPU overheating? whats the temp?

bad install media?

Thats wierd. It should "just work"

Do you have integrated VGA? try using that instead of the pci card

A computer virus is continuing to affect the Ministry of Defence's systems but it insists no classified or personal data is under threat.

Up to 70 sites, including several Royal Navy ships and RAF bases, have been affected by the bug, which has shut down computers and knocked out e-mails.

The virus first hit systems a fortnight ago but the MoD says operations have not been affected.

It is still trying to discover how the virus breached its security software.

yeah did you hear that the (windows based) systems on our submarine fleet got infected with malware

yup exactly

thats why i like Notepad++

A plain text editor except it has handy things like Syntax Highlightning, Folding, Tabs...

http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/8.10/release/

There isnt a liveCD. Only the alternate or server CDs.

If it has a problem mounting, try the bleeding edge (beta) edition, its prelease software so may be buggy but it has an up to date kernel so probably better hw support

Notepad++

Why not use Microsoft Visual C++?

I havent watched TV in many months, i cant afford a TV licence.

Thats normal. Versions of Windows NT prior to Vista dont support the vast majority of SCSI or SATA controllers natively. Its not the HDD that needs a driver, its the controller (unless you are using a SATA RAID PCI Card or something, this will be built into the motherboard).

You need to go into the BIOS and set the SATA controller to IDE Emulation mode, then it will work.

A better way is integrate your motherboards chipset drivers into your XP CD using nlite. Then it can see the SATA drive. Beacuse its XP 64 bit (Server 2003 based) these drivers must be signed.

In the BIOS ensure that MBR/Bootsector Antivirus Protrection is OFF, if that option is present. It stops the bootloader being written post-install.

If it is indeed a video error, try integrating your a)chipset and b) ATI drivers using nlite.

Late P4s are just generally very hot

I got one of the last P4s , a Cedar MIll 661, 3.6ghz stock. Overclocked it to 3.9.

It used to do 50-60 idle, and 60-70 under load ar the stock speed with the stock cooler

The P4s max temp is 65-75 . After that you risk damage..

Thats why intel scrapped the whole P4 Netburst atrchitechture at a huge cost and went back to the slower, but more efficient P3/pentium M architecture as the basis for the Core CPUs. You cant just keep increasing clock speeds.

But you should definately put new thermal paste and heatsink on. And good stuff. When i did that i got it down to 45-55 idle, and 60-65 under load

works for me, its probably a problem with your browser?

Have you got your chipset drivers installed?

if reapplying the paste and reseating doesnt work its probably a duff motherboard or cpu.

remove the old stuff with alcohol and apply again as i instructed,

if it doesnt work try RMAing the motherboard.

how have you got the thermal paste applied?

you know less is more, right?

a little more than a pea sized amount, spread in an even thinnish layer.

i think you can use MAPI

sfc /scannow

will restore the spools.exe

still got to get rid of the infection though, so do as crunchie says

:|

what?

yes, you can download SP3 onto another computer and transfer for it. Search for the SP3 standalone installer, i think its called "network install for it professionals" or something, its a few hubdred meg.

also "2 instances of Internet Explorer are running, but only one window." I think thats normal, i think there is the master IE process, then one for each window or tab.

did you do what me and microsoft said?

is it a legal copy?

what database are you using?

That sounds more like an issue with your DBMS as VB6 doesnt normally care about case

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;327101

do that

if it still gives you the error, try checking the core system files against the versions on the CD by instering the windows CD, going to run and typing sfc /scannow

VB express does not support microsoft reporting tools, thats one of the professional features that have been cut out. Wont work with SQL reporting services or Crystal reports.

because he removed it from the domain

that means it reverts to having only the local admin account, which was set during initial setup.

I think AVG has it?

Exactly. You can get a dual core cpu, motherboard and a few gigs of ram, ready assembled for like $150

Marked as solved.

Right click the network connection and choose properties. select the netware client aned choose uninstall.

Scan for rootkits?

Check your HOSTS file

It should only contain some comments and 127.0.0.1 and localhost

you cant do anything about it. The problem is that AOLs SMTP server doesnt require authentication.

isnt SLIing two GX2s basically like having 4 cards, seems kind of pointless and expensive (in fact i dont even think you can SLI two GX2s? as isnt it basically two 9800s joined together in one package anyway?)
