[How do i upload files to server using FTP]

it seems on the net, Brinkster Free doesn't have FTP. does it mean i can use FTP at all? today i heard in sch that i can use some FTP software to do that. i don't want to upload files 1 by 1. or any good free web hosting hopefully with ASP

[Cannot install IE7]

ya its legal, validated then after that started installing then halfway thru, failed. it seems i have removed something i shouldn't? cos on some of my nLited XP (older ones) it installs fine on later ones failed. i have so many ver cos i tend to format my com quite a bit for speed, abit crazy, but sometimes is testing out nLite versions.

ripken204, i didn't intend for the (Review)IDs to match, to search i would use the ProductID Foreign Key in Reviews table, so ProductID would match. reviewID would be just a Key just for nothing for now.

RedArrow7997, i think u are right, i seem to always expand of my projects LOL, really, 1/3 my class does that actually, top class u see. but the competition makes things tough. i guess if i am in a lousier class all my Bs would become As and As become Distinction. LOL anyways i think its good to learn more than u are taught.

[Cannot install IE7]

did i remove something i shouldn't? i can't install IE6 & IE7 if i remove IE6 with nLite & if i didn't remove IE6 w/ nLite i can't install IE7.

ripken204 that helps, and i am using the IDs as a key.

but i didn't get the part:

"this is assuming that the ID's all corrisbond with eachother"

RedArrow7997, i understood u as :

have a central table: for ProductType

- ID

- Description (eg. This table is for PCs)

- Type (eg. PC, Hardware ...)

am i right?

Then, connect them to PC, Software tables

but to me (as a learner), how do i do that (Search)? i was thinking few tables are easier? like if the page is for Adding PCs then in the VB i just need to add to the appropriate table? but if i do your method, i need to chk

If ProductType = ??? Then

Insert into This table.

No offense just want to clarify.

i am using SQL Server from Visual Studio 2005.

But if i combine all products, what happens is PCs have more fields that usually Hardware & Software, like they have a Processor, RAM while HW/SW don't have. then many fields will be NULL. will that be OK or Good?

As for the Chat it will be a simple 1. like user can post ...

I was thinking the ChatPost Table or Forums: (if its possible)

- TopicID

- PostID

- UserID

- TopicTitle

- Content

- Date

I am thinking of doing a fake PC company site for my ASP project. so what they will have is a chat, products with reviews, and users can have "Buddies".

So my DB so far (Tables):

• ProductPC - ID, Processor, RAM, HDD, Graphics, LCD ...
  
• ProductHardware - ID, Title (Like "Intel C2D E6600"), Description, Price, Rating (0-5 stars, so integer), Category (CPU, HDD, Graphics)
  
• ProductSoftware - ID, Title (eg. "Adobe CS3"), Description, Price, Rating, Category (eg. Design, Programming)
  
• Reviews - ID, ProductID, Title, Content, Date
  
• Chat - ID, TopicID, Title, Content, Date
  
• Users - ID, Username, Password,
  

The problem, how do i connect Reviews to the products since they are from diff tables.

How do i get the "buddy" system working

Chat i think its not as simple as that

But i just need a simple ASP project, so no need to get too complex, but i still hope to learn as much.

[To update Windows or not]

Should i do Windows Updates regularly or not. i used to do that but stoped since i feel it slows down the PC. but dunno if i am opening my PC to hackers. i use a Firewall(Comodo) & AntiVirus(Avast! 4.7).

[Avast! 4.7 Detected lxccsr9x.exe as Trojan. False positive?]

is lxccsr9x.exe a trojan? its in my Lexmark 3300 printer driver setup folder. false positive i suppose. its my 1st day testing Avast! i used to use ZA but the ScanningProcess put me off it. it seem to use tons of RAM and i think that causes crashes when i open too many things

[Comodo Anti-Malware & AntiVirus good?]

how do i do a autorun DVD menu to run my installs, whether batch install/silent/alone. can i do it w/o 3rd party softwares, like by just using visual studio? or what is a good autorun creator software

[Good free Web Hosting sites]

i am now trying Brinkster but apparently, only the paid accounts have an FTP to easily upload files from Dreamweaver so i thought if there are any other better ones. for ASP or PHP since i am learning them... soon now i am doing CSS sites hope to improve my Flash too

[Multiboot Vista / XP and Other OSes with Grub4Dos Menu]

too bad i didn't see this earlier... i need to do a dual boot PC of Windows and linux for my school project on VPC. so what happened was... GRUB can't seem to load XP or Vista Directly. it loads the Vista boot loader then select the OS u want... and since i have 2 XP, in the Vista boot loader, they have an option for XP boot loader... so its like going thru 2 boot loaders b4 i can boot a XP.

My setup was:

• Windows XP Pro (nLited)
  
• Windows XP Pro (Full)
  
• Windows Vista
  
• Mandriva Linux
  

The Process of booting...

• Windows XP (Any) - GRUB > Windows Vista Boot Loader > Windows XP Boot Loader > Windows
  
• Windows Vista - GRUB > Vista Boot Loader > Vista
  
• Linux - GRUB > Linux
  

any reason why?

[Drivers]

ok good will do just that... previously, i did 3 CDs for each comp fearing a corrupt windows. anyways how does this integrate drives work? will XP search for correct drivers to install? cos like display drivers, wont they corrupt each other when installed together? cos i have a comp with ATI 9600, ATI X600 & NVIDIA 7500
