More files I have of the category of USB drivers. YMMV, and I don't know the exact functions of some of these or whether they would work (much of my testing on these drivers were limited for lack of documentation). Please enlighten me on any particular application for these - I'm sure I'll get my original questions out on these files when I reference them and whether they are worth keeping for whatever reason. IOMEGA-USB - some random USB drivers put out by Iomega. Also a 1394 firewire driver in this package. Cypress-USB - the Cypress DOS USB drivers. Motto-Hairu - the access drivers for USB (DI1000DD). Includes RAMFD.SYS, I guess related to USB floppy drives? Ninja-USB - I don't know where I got these drivers, but one of them has the string "NinjaUSB ASPI CD-ROM Driver (ATAPI) Ver 3.09 Copyright©2000 Workbit Corporation.", so I'm guessing these are USB drivers as well. PanasonicUSB - varying versions of the Panasonic USB drivers. Also has a USB CD driver in there. SBP1394 - I guess this is a IEEE1394 Firewire driver that came with the Sound Blaster Pro? OHCIUHCI- I don't know where I got these either, but I did figure out they were USB 1.1 drivers. Download the Cypress Drivers here Download OHCIUHCI here. Another set of drivers soon, if people want me to keep posting.

I said in response to someone on this thread that I would start posting a few random drivers or apps for DOS, but it would be a good opportunity for anyone to share (or even give experiences on them). The main thing, I guess would be to figure out what would be worth sharing. I'll start by posting what I put in the other thread, and will be adding more in the coming days, along with descriptions. Of course, if there's any objections to what is being posted for warez or other reasons (newer more complete versions perhaps?), I can always pull the files from my posts. Or if there is a need for any documentation on how to load any of these, by all means ask. AOATAPI - the AOpen CD-ROM driver, supports UDMA CTMOUSE - an alternative mouse driver. SHARE - the Datalight file sharing driver. SHCDX33A - a MSCDEX replacement ver 33a. SHCDX33C - ver 33c of a MSCDEX replacement. UIDEXMGR - UIDE and XMGR. UMBPCI - a UMB memory provider. XMSDSK - I found the full package, see below:

What about on-board sound? I have an Audigy 2 card, but I notice that the on-board sound is about as good quality-wise. Of course, the Audigy is much nicer in a lot of ways outside of the sound that it delivers, but the question I would have is whether or not most sound cards today would exceed what is on the board for sound for most applications. Maybe that's the discussion point for this thread - when does on-board become "not enough"?

If power's a concern, it'd probably be better to get S3 standby (I know Windows XP/Vista supports it, but probably Linux too by now) set up on most computers on a timer so they will go there when not in use. For what I read, power usage on those go to about 5W. Or simply turn it off when you don't use it. I see so many instances where computers are left on and are unused for long periods of time (overnight or weekends!). And really this doesn't matter how old the hardware is, if it's on and you're not using it, it's burning electricity and is not green, etc. Probably worst is the offices I know of that will leave 100's of computers on overnight. The infrequently used server? There's always Wake-On-LAN. If one is really that concerned about power usage of a computer, it pays more to watch your usage patterns than it does upgrading.

There are people using Delphi, but you need to work to find them, as was said. I use it, but purely from a hobbyist standpoint (I learned on Pascal, and Delphi was the easiest transition that fitted my budget and my tolerance level). As for your problem, I'm not well-versed in the database end of what you're doing with Delphi. But if I understand your problem right (and I'm not sure), you're pulling TDateTime from your database and you would rather have it show in a TEdit style structure instead of the DBDateTimePicker? As was stated, there are several functions in SysUtils that should make that transition for you easily.

I've tried Pidgin, Miranda and Trillian and have had problems with the latter two to the point that they were unusable in most circumstances. Pidgin's been fine for most part, but for the last two .1 versions (from 2.3) it crashes repeatedly on me. So, are there any good alternatives outside of those three? Or am I in for general IM suckitude (via these three programs or for running three or four separate IM clients)? Edit: Name change corrected.

You're probably removing Java files that you think are IE files. M$ offers it no more (like I said, dead buried, gone, etc), but if you want to double-check what you're doing you can always search for MSJAVX86.EXE and attempt installing it and see if that changes anything. But remember, too, since it's dead buried gone for almost 4 years now, you introduce a TON of security nightmares and problems by having it.

the Sun JRE would have been the relevant thing to install in the case since it would be a JVM. My guess from here, since you say it didn't work with the Sun JRE, is that the image editor is looking for the Microsoft JVM, which has been left for dead long ago (but not long enough ago that it wouldn't have been in Windows XP - can't remember if it was added back in in SP2 after the SP1A thing or not). If you started from a vanilla XP disk (SP0) or SP1 then you might have removed it. Otherwise, it might not be in there in the first place. In any event, if you determine this image editor requires MSJVM, I'd look for a new image editor.

I like basically any of the photo sharing sites. Caedes for one. Problem is you got to surf through a lot to get to the pictures (they ban page downloader spiders), but there's some absolutely stunning ones that I find on any of them. You occasionally find some interesting CG drawings and ray-tracings on sites like that too. Then I find NASA images always are interesting. Pick either stuff taken off the shuttle or the ISS, or stuff from Hubble and it's hard to go wrong. (I run very few images now in my image changer program, only because I run widescreen images with my widescreen monitor, and good ones of those are very hard to find. But I have found a ton of full screen images - that reminds me I need to book mark this and look for a few more images )
