 | Hello, If you really want to go about it well, you might consider the following: * Empty the temp files from within your browser * Crumble the cookies contained in your profile * Scan with a tool, such as Adaware * Scan for viruses with another tool I do not …  |
| | Re: remote desktop Hello, Wajeeh, your 172 address is being defined upstream on the internet, and your IP packets do not have a route from that router point to your dual-card machine. Do a tracert on something public, such as "tracert www.foxnews.com" anad you will see all of the routers in the path... …  |
| | Hello, It is a good idea to go and get the drivers before you do the fresh install... and save them to a floppy disk or a USB drive. It can be a bear if XP doesn't recognize your internet connection equipment (NIC card, modem) and then you cannot get … |
| | Hello, Yellow's advice sounds very good here. The other thing that I can think of is that the disk permissions are messed up and need to be repaired. Christian |
| | Hello, I would think that your world would be happy at the 4 GB level, unless you were interested in setting up a RAM disk, and keeping a lot of materials within it. RAM Disks are very very fast (the speed of RAM!), with the danger that if you loose … |
 | Hello, It is possible to have two different file systems on the same physical hard drive -- any linux box with a swap partition has filesystem for the files, and another system for the swap data. Or you can take a hard drive, and put a FAT32 partition on it, …  |
| | Hello, I prefer RedHat/Fedora and also SuSE. The Live CD's are a good choice, but I have a feeling you want to get into it, and tinker, and not have to do things over when you shut down for the night. And if you want to do packet radio with … |
| | Hello, There are various bugs (viruses) out there that can cause an XP system to restart. I would bet that you will need to download a Spyware / Antivirus utility to clean your machine before it will work properly again. There is also a chance that you recently installed something, … |
| | Re: Monitor Adaptor Alex, He probably had the 6100 / 7100 / 8100 series. The laptops you refer to had a MONGO-USB like connector, and that is not what he is referring to. This HDI-45 thing ran off of motherboard video, and while it worked, it was not accelerated / optimized graphics. He … |
| | Re: Which linux Hello, I was a longtime supporter of RedHat... am still running 7.3 in places, and 9.0 in other places. I have not worked long with Fedora to comment, but what RedHat did disturbs me, and I am looking at other options. So far SUSE has loaded fine on my box; …  |
| | Re: Bash script prob Hello, This sounds like a homework problem. I am not certain what you are trying to do is possible with scripts. Example scripts that come to mind include the linuxconfig utility, but I would bet that is a compiled program, not a script. Pine also does a lot of screen … |
| | Hello, Well, it appears that Micro$oft has figured out your dilemma... and offers great student discounts to Office. But if you are a company upgrading Office, the costs are huge. I love the idea of Open Source software, such as OpenOffice. I use that whenever I can. But I aso … |
| | Hello, Some programs require a reboot or a shutdown before they give up their spot in add/remove programs. Try that. Christian  |
| | Hello, I think your monitor is going to sleep before the screensaver engages. Check the control panels to see when you have the timings set for what mode. Christian |
| | Hello, I would try a disk repair --> Fix Permissions on the computer first. You may have other things out of whack. This tool is part of the Disk Utility tool found in the Applications --> Utilities folder. Christian |
| | Hello, If I were you, I would boot to the CD and re-partition the drive, and re-install cleanly. If you have data on that disk that you need, you will need heroic measures to get it off safely. Christian |
| | Hello, I believe you have a software failure on the hard drive. If the drive died, in terms of a physical death, it would not loaod windows at all. You will probably need to reboot from CD, and format and start over. If the format / partition process fails, then … |
| | Hello, I am assuming you have on your laptop a live XP or 2000 environment. Log in as Administrator. Right-click on the files to edit the security. You might need to "take ownership" of the files before it allows you to change the permissions. Then, the files should be yours. …  |
| | Re: Password Hello, The local administrator can reset the password at the flick of her wrist. I also agree that if you are under my roof, and a minor, I can and will inspect at a moment's notice. While I do think that minors need some privacy, it is my role as … |
| | Hello, The answer here is dependant on your novell network setup. If your server is only protocol bound to IPX (meaning speaks/understands) then you will need to add the Microsoft IPX protocol to your network stack, or you will need to install the Novell client. If your Novell server has … |
| | Hello, You need to ask your Sequential File Access / Random File access in another thread. People who know the answer, but know nothing about C++ or your talking question will not glance at it. I would suggest the Computer Science forum. Christian  |
| | Re: Snmp Hello, You might want to do a Google search on snmp. Also, if you are invoking the command from Unix or Linux, you might be able to read the man pages concerning it. I think that the -c is the community name of the snmp server. Christian |
| | Hello, OS? Does the BIOS detect the drive? Is it a new drive, or pulled from another box? Thanks, Christian |
| | Hello, I have been asked to create a webpage that features pagers for a pager company. The pagers are small icons, maybe 100 x 100 pixels or so. What he wants me to do now is when the user runs the mouse over the graphic, he would like the graphic … |
 | Hello, I am a big believer in the re-install of a new operating system, not "applying the upgrade". Reason? It is a great time to haul out the trash! And you run into the built package that works great in release C, and dies out in release D. Also forces …  |
| | Hello, Do an ifconfig on the linux laptop, and make sure the device is properly installed, and IP numbers properly configured. Check the XP box to make sure that interface is up and properly configured. You should be able to ping across the two of them. Also ensure that there … |

 | Hello, There might be a registry edit somewhere to change the number from 10, but if you think deeply and responsibly about what you are doing, you should come to the quick solution that your design is flawed. There is a reason XP Pro (and Mac OS 9 too!) have … |
| | Hello, You might also try viewing with the hidden files revealed. Do not do this lightly though. Christian |
| | Re: Best C Compiler? Hello, Depends on what you are writing. For simple C or C++ programs, I like emacs and a Linux command prompt with the gcc or g++ compilers. If I am on my Mac, then XCode is really a cool piece of work. I also have Kdevelop and some other tools … |
| | Hello, Have you contacted your vendor (the person you bought the software from) via telephone and see what they say? There might also be a technical support phone number to work with too. Christian |
| | Hello, I would get everyone out of the application / database before making a new backup of it. If you do not have an uncompressed backup of the database, then you could really be in trouble. It is also possible that the volume is compressed, but the actual database file … |
| | Hello, In order for samba to work properly, you need to have the following: * Proper hardware setup (network cables, switch/hub) * Proper protocol setup (ip number scheme) * They should be part of the same workgroup * The smb services started properly. * Samba users mapped to Linux users. … |
| | Hello Dani, I think that you have a nice balance of talented moderators with your drive to handle the business end of the site. Everyone here has their own role -- I go after limited C++ support, look for abuses in the new threads, get deep and dirty in the …  |
 | Re: long distance Hi, Don't worry about it being a year old or so. It is in the system, and the search engines can find it. I found it to be interesting... I have never dialed international before. Christian |
 | Hello, I am a Firefox and Safari user. For some reason, Firefox and Fox news do not get along too well on my Macintosh OS X platform. SO I safari the news page. No big deal to me on that one. For entering bank numbers and that, you should be …  |
| | Hello, You are looking at a re-partition, and a re-building of your XP environment to make room for Linux, unless you run it under some VM operation. Make a backup first, then partition your drive, and then install XP, and then install Linux. Detailed instructions are all over the place. …  |
| | Hello, Excellent discussion so far. Wondering if you would expand it a bit more, and discuss sorting a linked list. Perhaps also go into double-linked lists (when I write them, I write these too, so I can easily go backwards). You guys are on such a good role.. Christian |
| | Hello, I removed your email address as it is against policy to have questions here, and answers sent off to you. Please keep answers on-site, so that the next person with the same question can see the answers. It also helps reduce spam. To answer, you have a G4 computer … |
| | Hello, If the company hired is worth their salt, they are not going to have any holes out there for you to work with. Aside from a phone call to see if they would do it, I think you are stuck. Now, you could put a modem onto the computer, …  |
| | Hello, I wonder if you have the "wind tunnel" G4 that sounds quite, um, loud. The hum could have been the fan cycling on and causing some internal vibration. Curious what happened too that the apple bong sound is gone on startup. Did you open the case, and see anything … |
 | Hello, Motorola sells software to program their two-way radios, such as what the police, fire, ambulance people use. When purchasing the software, you are entered into an agreement that you will not re-sell it, even if you sell off your radio investment. I am also willing to bet that custom … |
| | Hello, What version of OS X are youo working with? Are you working with strictly OS X software, or is there some classic in there too? Typically you enable most fonts onto your system so that they are readily available at any time. It is also a very bad idea … |
| | Re: Registry Repair Hi, A better question might be to ask what is causing your problems that you need to repair the registry. If the box is working, you might want to leave it alone as-is. Registry editing is not a smart thing to do unless you have documented instructions to achieve a … |
| | Re: Top 10 Songs Photograph by Def Leppard Rock of Ages by Def Leppard Another Brick in the Wall by Pink Floyd Turn Up the Radio Bohemian Rapisidy by Queen Eat It by Weird Al The Saga Begins by Weird Al Kiss Me Deadly by Lita Ford No More Tears by Ozzie Didn't have … |
| | Hello, First, don't call yourself an idiot. There are a lot of smart people who infect themselves with viruses. As long as you are running Windoze, you are a high-risk viral canidate. Moving the thread to the Virus forum Christian |
| | Hi, Just to point out, those numbers in the syntax error report are line numbers inside the files. Look a few lines up or down of the cited line number for a hint. For example, [CODE] 1.... #include <iostream> 2.... #include <iomanip> 3.....using namespace std; 4..... 5.....const double APR = … |
| | Hello, It sounds to me that you are trying to defeat the copy protection and / or copyrights on the games. That is not a good idea, and we will not sponsor this discussion on our forums. Closing / Locking thread. Christian |
| | Hello, I don't have the articles handy, but Novell's e-directory is faster and more reliable for an Enterprise environment than Active Directory. e-directory, or NDS as it was called, has been around since the mid 1990's, and offers a lot of management options for the Enterprise. NDS can manage disk … |
| | Hello, Yep, that is it... the printer needs to be setup for OS 9. You might find it easier to reboot your laptop as an OS 9 box (instead of running it as Classic) and setup your printers that way. Then reboot into X and verify that it is working. … |
The End.
