Welcome to the really crappy world of administrating a Windows server. I really don't know the best way to fix your problem since the Server lines of Windows always want to be "special cases" and not work like everything else. There's a very comprehensive guide linked to from the bottom …

Can you load up your BIOS configuration during boot? If so, can you find a page that shows the current temperatures in your system? If you find some temperature readings, post them here.

What program are you trying to use?

Can you show us an example of what you are wanting?

I don't know what you are asking for. Can you clarify? Can you show an example of what you are trying to do and what problem you are having with getting it to work? It also helps if you ask specific questions.

You will want to reconfigure the router from a computer that is pysically attached to it. When you change the security settings and add a WEP key, the router will reboot, and you will be unable to connect to it until you have your settings on the computer updated. I …

I'm going to guess that you recently upgraded to SP2. That's Window's new Security Center letting you know that it doesn't like how you do things. You can load up Security Center by double-clicking the shield in your system tray or by going to Control Panel\Security Center. You can get …

Please don't post the same issue multiple times. Post it once in the right spot. You say that IE isn't working. Are any other internet-using programs (instant messenger, email client, online game, etc) able to connect?

I'd have to do some research on the specifics, but you can lock down Windows machines to only allow certain programs to run under specific users. If you wanted to take the time learning how to do it, you could use Windows to do all the restrictions for you. [url=http://techrepublic.com.com/5100-1035_11-1059493.html?tag=hdi#]This …

Everything on wireless connections can be sniffed. If you have WEP, WPA, or some other encryption running on the connection, the person trying to hijack into the network would have to decifer the security key first (possible given the right software, patience, and a bit of "right place/right time"). If …

Try scanning all your partitions from the [url=http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;314058]Recovery Console[/url]. You will want to execute the following command for each partition:[code]chkdsk [drive] /r[/code]For example:[code]chkdsk c: /r[/code] This will scan all your drives for file system errors or bad sectors. It is possible that, for one reason or another, your partition got …

You've got the right idea, and you are really close. Try moving the start of the "do" block to before requesting the ISDN number but after printing the title. After you fix up your loop, we can work on the totals if you need help with that.

Do you hear your system beep or the harddrives being accessed? If you leave it on long enough (with the speakers on and volume up), do you hear the Windows startup music? If you hear any of that, your system is working fine other than the video stuff. If you …

I really don't know what you are wanting to know from us, so I'll just give you some general information about your problem. Sounds like you have some dead/stuck pixels or subpixels that happen to all be near eachother. LCD technology is great but not perfect. Most LCDs will have …

I don't understand exactly what you are wanting to know or what you are referring to by simulation. [list][*]If you are asking about attaching additional storage with a USB HDD, you can do that. [*]If you are asking about booting Windows XP off of a USB HDD, you cannot do …

Hey Shane. I played WoW for a while, but my favorite MMO has to be [url=http://eve-online.com/]EVE: Online[/url]. Like you, I decided to stay away from MMOs for sanity's sake. I also play Counter Strike :). See you around.

Mapping just makes it easy to refer to a network share and doesn't actually do anything to the network share. It's basically synonymous with a file shortcut; it doesn't change the file, but makes a "pointer" to it for easier access. I mount shares all the time. They are very …

I haven't done this myself, so I'm not sure if Windows will throw a tantrum or not. If you want to go the safe route, create a new user for yourself, add the new user to the Administrators group, and start using that user. Once you log in with your …

So... You put your homework assignment directly in the thread, say "please", and we're supposed to do your homework for you? I don't think so. At least read the problem, find what you don't understand, and ask thoughtful questions about it. Such as: "I can't figure out how to read …

You don't necessarily need to make a max function, you could actually use a define like the following: [code]#define MAX(a, b) ((a) > (b) ? (a) : (b))[/code]

Think about this situation as similar to keeping running totals. Create another variable that will store the complete file. After each read, append the read in data to the variable. Next time, put your code in the code block.

I don't know what platform you are using, but doing an update of this type is easy on the Linux systems that I work with. I simply copy over all the files from the current database and replace the old database files with them. As soon as the data is …

This question reeks of homework problem. Since that's the case, I'll make you think about it. What you need to do is create a list of all the possible substrings, count up duplicate occurances of substrings, and then filter out the substrings that were only duplicated twice.

I've been hanging around for a few days now and have yet to make an introduction. I've been working with computers for a long time now. Programming was my first major computer hobby. Then I started to use computers for gaming and multimedia applications. Eventually, I would do everything on …

Sounds like you might have some spyware, virus, or other malware problems. Use the link at the bottom of my sig to clean up your system.

Java is a great language. If I were to chose between programming in Java or C++ (while ignoring what the final product has to be), I would chose Java. I just like the programming model and structure better. However, Java is a completely different programming model than C++ and not …

All current DVD-Rs also burn CD-Rs. If you are still unsure, check the package/specs. It will indicate all the media that it is capable of burning.

It was just a quick google away. [url=http://ca.geocities.com/ivanheckman@rogers.com/]allSnap[/url]

Can you elaborate a bit more? What type of speaker setup are you trying to use with this card? Do any sounds play or is it pure static? Does this static happen when your computer first starts booting or is it only after Windows has loaded/starts loading? What happens if …

Run through the cleanup guide in the bottom of my sig. This should fix just about any spyware/virus issues that you have. After you have run through the guide, post if you are having any more issues or not.

What client are you using? I use Azureus, so that's what I'm used to describing, but the issue is the same irregardless of the client. The problem is that the BT client is using as much upload as it possibly can. ADSL lines have a problem where the download speed …

Routers have built-in firewalls. Firewalls block all port traffic for all ports that aren't necessary for basic activities. DC++ needs a port to be "forwarded" to the machine that it is running on and needs to be setup to listen to that specific port in order to operate. Use [url=http://www.dslreports.com/faq/6518]this …

[QUOTE=Dr.Phone]Tundi - I'm glad for you that your problem is solved. However, I've always used a router and my problem remains.[/QUOTE] Considering that your 98 machine can access the internet (since your weather program works just fine), your problem is most likely software related. Have you tried running antivirus scans …

You need to change the name of the computer on the workgroup. Each computer needs it's own unique name. [url=http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q295017/]This document[/url] will help you change the name. After you have picked a unique name for that system, reboot and see if you get that message again.

This sounds like some type of homework question that you have to answer. I'm going to rely on the old saying "Give a man fish and he will eat for a day... teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime". This is the internet. Almost anything …

Are you having problems interfacing the webcam to the computer? If so, this is where you want to be. Please elaborate if it's an installation problem, if it's related to the software, or if it's you're receiving errors. However, it sounds like you are asking a programming question on how …

Try [url=http://ask-leo.com/how_do_i_really_disable_autoplay_in_windows_xp.html]turning off Auto-play[/url]. After you turn it off, see if you can insert a disk and browse its contents. If you can, try running whatever it is you are trying to run. It's possible that you have some badly behaving software that is causing the issue.

Follow the cleanup guide linked to in the bottom of my sig. This has been shown to be effective against that software. Steps 1 and 2 are the most crucial for your situation, but continuing down the list can help ensure that your system is secure and running at its …

Your system/graphics card might be overheating. Overheating can cause the array of symptoms that you've seen. If you don't have any means of tracking your temperatures, you can try [url=http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php]SpeedFan[/url]. If you find out your system temps, post them here. It's also possible that you just have some crap junking …

Computers don't keep exact time and don't keep infinitely precise measurements of time. If you are wanting measurements of time greater than a few milliseconds and you are on a Windows system, you can use the [url=http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/sysinfo/base/gettickcount.asp]GetTickCount[/url] function. Record the value returned by the function before and after you execute …

It's possible that the switch went bad. You can test this by removing the power switch cable from the motherboard and placing a flathead screwdriver on the two pins that the switch was on. Be careful that you only touch those two pins and nothing else.

I did find it for a slightly more reasonable $199 [url=http://www.streetprices.com/Electronics/Computer_Hardware_PC/DVDs/DVD_RW/SP1003250.html]here[/url].

This speaks of very poor design. It would make sense to use PHP to modify/maintain .htaccess files, but it doesn't make sense to use .htaccess files as a storage place for PHP user logins. If you like the concept of using a file, rather than a database, to store username/password …

Look at the back of the power supply and try to find the power switch (a rocker switch that has a vertical bar for on and a circle for off). If the switch is off, turn it on and try to boot the machine. If the switch is on, turn …

You need to provide some more information. What does the error message say? Unless we know the exact error message, there isn't much that we can do for you. I do know that smc.exe is usually part of the Sygate Personal Firewall pakage, but it could be something else as …
