 | Re: choosing an isp Hello, Unless you go for a higher - end sat connections, you will need dialup for uploading to the internet, and would have the higher-speed sat connection for the downloading. Why? Because you would need to have a sat transmitter sitting on the lawn (or house), and those devices need … |
| | Hello Nemesis, Because your Mac is creating pages on the XP's printer, I assume that the permissions are proper, the network is working, and your XP box is alive and functioning as a print server. Macintosh computers are either local and proproitery (pardon that spelling!) such as the Personal LaserWriter … |
| | Hello, What I like to do are two things... 1) Change the printout from portrait to landscape mode. This will print "wide" and will capture the wider websites. 2) Change the print size from 100 percent to something like 80 percent. This will make your text smaller, but again, the … |
| | Hello, If it works in Mac Classic, it should work with 9.2. I believe the earliest version of "Classic" was 9.1 I am not positive there. If that Samsung printer has postscript available, you can use a variety of printer drivers to talk to it. Look here: [url]http://www.samsung.com/Support/productsupport/download/Model_Select.aspx?type=Printer&typecode=102060&subtype=Monochrome+Laser&subtypecode=370019&model=ML-2150&filetype=DR&language=[/url] Under the … |
| | Hello Borg... Wondering what you are doing now to prevent re-infection? Do you need help formulating a plan to remain clean? Christian |
| | Hello, I have a similar problem on my IBM 300GL that is running at my parent's house running Linux. The BIOS config page says it is running 333 MHz, Linux reports at 133 MHz, and when booting, I think the BIOS reports 266. I do not remember because I have … |
 | Hello, I am curious if this just started happening to him, of this happened all along. Christian |
 | Hello, Linux is an Operating System, and in order to configure it, you need to boot into it. If you are running it in a VM, such as Virtual PC, you will need to either re-install it natively to the hard drive, or you need to prepare for a lot …  |
| | Hello, What do you mean by "control"? I would think that this functionality would be limited by the operating system you are using. Are we working with data CD's, or music ones? Christian |
| | Hello, C++ or Pascal. I loved Pascal. VB will limit you to a Microsoft platform. Normal C is a dangerous language with pointers, and the specifications on print formatting, such as printf(year,day,month%d%d%d); instead of C++ cout << year,day,month; Christian  |
| | Re: writing a script Hi, Did you have any sample code to start with? What shell are you writing for? I sense that this is a homework problem... and while we like to help, we also encourage growth and self-learning. Christian |
| | I am not certain if this works in XP, but my favorite tool in Windows 2000 is the compmgmt.msc tool. It will let you see all sorts of information -- logs, system information, and disks. It will also allow you to add/delete local users (assuming you have authority on the …  |
| | Hello, According to Apple's website: [url]http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=30705[/url] Suggests that power requirements are auto-sensing from 120 - 240 Volts. Frequency is 50 - 60. What is the specific model of iMac that you have? I would look a little deeper to be sure. Christian |
| | Hello, I would also ask: 1) What OS? 9? X? 2) Is this a new hard drive to replace the first one, or is this a second drive (meaning younow have two in the computer)? 3) Can you boot from a CD-ROM? Does the computer recognize the drive when you … |
| | Hello, If I were you, I would re-partition the HardDrive, and that means re-formatting it. I would make three partitions - one for each OS, and the third for the data on that OS. That third one should be formatted FAT, so that it will be functional in either environment. … |
| | Re: VERY sick Imac Hello Jenn, It sounds to me that you have some serious hard disk issues. Need to know if you are running OS 9 or OS X. I suggest that we boot with a startup CD, such as the one your iMac came with, and try running the repairs from the …  |
 | Hello Spikes, Yes there is. You will need to use the root account on those computers, and it could be a security issue if you don't properly protect the script file, but there is a way. On the computer with the UPS connection, you will need to write a script … |
| | Hello, To expand on what Alex suggested... If you have a compressed file out there on the server, and you want to get it, you actually risk making the download last *longer* by trying to work with a download accelerator. Unless you wish to hack your IP stack, and every … |
| | Hello, My *guess* is that you have Gaobot virus or the Sasser. There is an extensive writeup at [url]www.symantec.com[/url] about it. You did say that you scanned with an antivirus tool... were the definitions current? I would get *today's* definitions and look at it. It is also unfortuntate that Windows … |
 | Re: sendmail config Hello, Thank you Phillip on the comment concerning the Apple! Your X disk is super too :D You mentioned that the Exchange server was just holding an MX record... that implies it was a DNS server, and pointing to something else. If that is the case, just aim your MX … |
| | Hello, I would suggest that you do a Google search on "Lisp OS X" and see if you can port your Lisp 4.2 code into the programs available for OS X. Be prepared for a porting issue though; I do not know Lisp, and have no way to test it. … |
| | Hello, This is an interesting situation you have there. I would check the router's web config thingy and see if there is an auto disconnect if there isn't any traffic. If you can get your hands on a packet sniffer, you could also see if the router is doing something … |
| | Hello, I can think of a couple things happening here. 1) Hard drive is dead. Might be seen as AUTO in the BIOS, but when the computer boots, you should see some white printing on there with the CD-ROM and other things... probably has the hard drive size still encoded. … |
| | Hello, This is a log of a Windows XP system with SP1, and it has a virus on it. I am not sure, but you can look at the various websites -- McAfee, Symantec -- and see what viruses like to edit the hosts file to make a number of …  |
 | Re: what OS to use? Hello, I have done extensive work with RedHat (from 6.2 on), MKLinux (on PowerMac 7100 series), and YellowDog Linux. I have tried Debian, and did not like it. I use RH 9 on my main servers and firewalls, and Mac OS X on the desktop. I was disappointed with the …  |
| | Re: keybord problems Hello, Does this problem happen in all applications, or just certain ones? Are you on a laptop, or a desktop system? It is possible for the keyboard to go... or the circuitry within the keyboard. A key is nothing more than a switch -- when you press it, the key … |
| | Hello, My guess is that the drive is not properly recognized by the OS. the website [url]www.liteon.com[/url] says that the drive is IDE, and that should show up properly in the sytem profiler, but not as a USB or Firewire device. I do not think that the drive is going … |
| | Re: i need help Hello, I moved this thread into the Security forum, because we are dealing with Outlook's Application security. Zahn, as for your question, please let us know your version of Outlook, version of OS, and if you have administration rights on your computer to do this. Thanks. Christian |
| | Hello, I agree with Alex. NTFS file permissions would be the way to go. If you are really sensitive about the data, you can encrypt them too. Also, check your backups to make sure they are protected too. Christian (although, if all the users on your XP box are Administrators, … |
| | Hello, Yes, Windows 2000 and XP will want you to login with an account (username and password). It is possible to setup the computer to autologin with a particular account, but that has to be done after you get through this initial setup. Agree with Alex on Administrator with a … |
| | Re: hijackthis log Hello, I am not sure if you have traces of other things out there (I am primarily a Mac / Linux user, and any Windows machine we come across at work get re-imaged instantly), but I do see that you have valid websites in the 127.0.0.X subnet. This means that …  |
| | Hello, To expand on MacTecTom's idea there, you will need to work NetInfo as a administrator of the computer (note that administrator here does not mean root account). In order to set the root password, find the root user, and remove the * in the password field. Leave the password … |
| | Re: Cd-drive Hi, For portability reasons, make sure you don't do a dumb Windows thing and hardcode a drive letter. Why? My D: is a second hard drive, not a CD-ROM! And if it is Unix / Linux, might want to do a check to make sure that the process has authority … |
| | Hello, Network control panel can be found by right-clicking on Network Neighborhood and choosing Properties, or by opening the Control Panels and finding the Networking CP. To open a command window in W98 (or W95), go to the start menu, and choose RUN, and type in command Enjoy your freedom …  |
| | Hi, Any idea what update you installed? If you are lucky, we might find out if it has an un-installer, but I am highly doutbting it. I am also wondering if you have a bug that wants to get onto the internet so that it can transmit out the payload … |
| | Hello, Are you using Microsoft Word 98 on a OS 9 Mac? Or under OS X and Classic Mode? Need to know some more information on this. You may need to re-run the permissions on your computer. Won't go too far until we know more information. Christian |
| | Hello, Don't know where to begin, as if I had to guess, you are using OS 8 or OS 9, and perhaps Acrobat Writer or Acrobat Distiller. It is possible that the clipboard doesn't like the image because it may be a vector file, or perhaps a EPS file (which … |
| | Hello, Did you go into the Device Manager (or the XP equivalent) and see if the driver is loaded and working properly? You can try deleting the device and having the OS detect it again too. I have run into things that ran great on older OS, but not under … |
| | Hello, 2020search is an Ad ware program. It has probably made edits to your registry to prevent removal. You may need to do the manual removal from the registry, or you might find success with a spyware removal problem. Christian |
| | Hello Nemisis, In order to connect and share files, 4 things must be established and working. 1) Physical Network: Are they all wired together, either via a hub (smart), or crossover cable (risky)? Do they have a common IP scheme, or is the windows box listening for NetBIOS packets? If …  |
| | Hello, I found this out on Macintouch.com tonight, and think it is relevant for us to note. *********** Alan Claver offered some good tips for avoiding Norton AntiVirus's bad habit of destroying entire mailbox files: The problem is that the virus signature appears in clear text within the mailbox file … |
| | Re: DVD-r error Hello, Check this out: [url]http://www.apple.com/ilife/idvd/[/url] It suggests that iDVD has an update to 4.0.1 What version of OS X are you running? iDVD? Let us know. Would like to help you. If you are in a pinch, depending on your file's size, you might be able to upload it to … |
 | Re: Panther problems Hello, An interesting thread. I am running with 10.3.3 on an older laptop, and the only things that don't really work is the onboard SCSI. I have to boot into OS 9 in order to burn CD-ROMS via SCSI. I agree with MacTecTom that clean installs from 10.1 to 10.2 … |
| | Hi, C++ is a superset of C. I can only wonder WHY you would want to try to compile something that works with C only? That doesn't make sense. Christian |
| | Hello, Do you place materials on top of your monitor, such as papers or folders? Do you have your monitor in an enclosed bookshelf that prevents proper cooling of the unit? Does the monitor experience temperature extremes? Do you have a plant above the monitor, and it drip water into … |
| | Hello, Welcome to the wonderful world of Macintosh Computing. there is no such thing as a dumb question here -- the forums are provided so that we all learn from one another. No question/answer is too small. From the earliest days of the Macintosh (1984!) there was a 32 bit … |
| | Re: help with help Hello, I have not seen this happening. I wonder if either of you searched Apple's Knowledge Base on the subject, or a Google search. I am on the road, and unable to catch it tonight. Christian |
| | Hello, Dustin, you have a complex situation on your computer, and I hope that with a little time, I can explain what you are up to, and offer some advice. * Your logins are mutually exlusive. The computer sees PERSONAL as a different user than BUSINESS. Different users mean different … |
| | Hi, What kind of system? Windows 2000? XP? If it is any one of those, be sure to logoff at night. But if the techno geek is good, you will need to delete the cookies, history, and other things. But do not think this is a safe answer. If the … |
 | Hello, This may not be my place, but I would bet that if the computers are that old, they are not going to run 2000 well at all. And knowing schools, your software might not work on Windows 2000 either. I am also hopeful that you are upgrading legally, meaning … |
The End.
