dencorso

I use 32GB Sandisk Extreme SDHC cards (Class 10, 200x), which I consider reliable and fast enough. And I do run full Win XP SP3 on FAT-32 with the pagefile in it and full IE8. When I started, I was worried it might wear the card too fast, so I bought a second one, to use as a snap-in backup, but it's been two years already and the second card remains in stand-by. I do transfer a full disk image from the card in use to it every month, though, just in case.

If I had to bet on a single file, that would be shlwapi.dll...

Since you're new to forums, bear this in mind: you don't open two threads (= topics) on the same subject. There was this topic already and you replied to it with your problem. That's the right course of action. Then you immediately opened a second topic, about the same problem, with the exactly the same text, which is an unpolite act, besides adding no new info whatever. I could have deleted you post here or the new thread, but I chose the latter to keep similar things together, which is how it should be. That said, welcome to MSFN! Hope you manage to solve your issue. And, BTW, you shouldn't reply to yourself. If your post is the last on the thread, do use the edit button to add more content, instead of creating a new post. Replying to yourself is a form of bumping, which is not forbidden, but considered irritating by many.

Thanks, allen2! Links are restored now. Now, to say the least, Speedy1994 could be more patient, IMO... He not only posted in two forums, but double-posted here (I deleted the dupe, of course)...

Tin Hat, to get acquainted, then probably Hardened Gentoo (there's a link to it, too, in the link I just gave), when and if you decide in favor of a less minimalist approach. If you want a more specilized thing, Tor-ramdisk is the way to go, though.

Are you positive that you used the /M switch and it didn't work?

BINAs are very common and inexpensive in Brazil, and they ID both incoming and outgoing numbers. While incoming numbers can be blocked and display "Private", there's no way to prevent the BINA from reading the outgoing number, so it's bound to work. And it's possible to borrow a BINA for a single identification, so it may even cost zero.

How exactly did you do it before they changed numbers? What used to work can be tweaked to work again, without need of any added software. BTW, one simple trick would be to put a BINA (calling line identification device that also IDs outgoing numbers) between the modem and the line, and it'll tell you what number was dialed.

Sure. Reading the Rules helps. Banned on Rule #1.

Codeboxes are adding trailing spaces, of late. I believe jaclaz was the first to report it. Check you script for trailing spaces and be sure to remove them. They can be a PITA because they break otherwise working programs sometimes, but you don't usually see them, unless you're looking for them. This is a longshot, by maybe it'll solve your issue.

Janis Joplin - Kozmic Blues Although she was a great live performer, there remained no record, AFAIK, of any live performance of hers of this song with a delivery even half as powerful and refined as she had attained in the studio version.

When IE8 terminates unexpectedly, then is restarted, there comes a box offering to "restore last session" or "go to homepage" and it sits there until one of those buttons is clicked. What I'm looking for is a way to make "go to homepage" default, preferably supressing the dialogue, too. Is there any way to do it? Please advise. PS: Of course I could use NirCMD to detect the dialogue box and send a click to it. But that's an ugly hack, since there is no way to predict when the box will be there and when it won't, and it won't be there most of the time. I hope there may be something neater than that.

Well... The official MS way to get an MD-5 hash is FCIV and to get File Versions it's FILEVER, findable inside this package. The're both console command-line tools, useful also in batch files.

1113 doesn't exist. 1111 is the one on the distribution disk of 95c.

allen2 is right... you may be getting the BSOD after the HDD spins up or, more probably, on spin down. Since you have ACPI activated, after some time idle the disk will spin down. Try setting, temporarily, your HDD to never spin down, while the machine is on, in the energy saving properties, and let's see if the BSODs stop.

Dates can change easily. PE Timestamps not so. Since, in Win 2k, most executables are PE executables, PE Timestamps and version numbers should be enough to decide most ambiguities. I posted more about that in older posts, and below are poiters to them.

Sorry! You've got no OS set in your profile, and I forgot this is the XP forum. You're using XP SP3 x86, is that right? And are all critical updates applied, too?

KB883646 has storport.sys... With some tweaking, probably it's possible to install the AHCI driver in XP x86.

KB977178 might perhaps apply?

Even if dupes (duplicate lines) aren't you concern right now, you'll have to eliminate them, so, just for the record, the yanklines script I put together only removes exact dupes, no matter how many and where they are on the text file. It's fast and can handle really big files, because it was intended to be used with merged history logs.

No. You're looking at it from the wrong side. FAT-32 is a filesystem, which must be created on a given medium, which is first partitioned. The partition containing FAT-32 can be aligned or not. It depends on which application creates it. And, BTW, FAT-32 is different from FAR-12/16 in that the root directory may be anywhere, and grow as needed.

Beyond Compare is the way to go... it's not free, but it's worth the cost.

Very well...how exactly do I do this? Right-click on "My Computer", select "Properties" -> "Advanced", go to "Startup and Recovery" and click on "Settings", go to "System Failure", select the "Write an event to the system log" and deselect both "Send an administrative alert" and "Automatically restart", then go to the box below "Write debugging information" and select "Small memory dump (64KB)" for a minidump or "Kernel memory dump" for a full dump. Click "OK", then "OK". Let's start with minidumps. Now, even minidumps are too large to attach. So upload them somewhere like uploadade.to or megaupload and post the link to it here.

Nobody's in a hurry. Take a good pic of the blue screen and post it. And, after that, do set the system to create a system dump or minidump on crash, and disable the auto-reboot feature, although it doesn't seem to be kicking in, in your case, so that we can get a crash dump on the crash following the next one.
