OK, yeah, I got the same XPCOM error with the Dorian version. Cheers and Regards

I just tried the latest "portable" version of KM by rodocop that you linked to above, and it opened and seemed to run just fine on my Win7 x64 system. I'm not sure what you meant by saying that you couldn't get a file opened. Do you mean the .7z file? If so, I would guess that you just need to upgrade the version of 7-Zip that you are using. I'm using the latest alpha, 9.30 alpha x64, with no problems whatsoever, but you might could also use the 9.25 alpha or the 9.22 beta with similar results. [7-Zip is notorious for having a version listed as an alpha or beta version for YEARS before they finally achieve final status.] Cheers and Regards

So, are you going to share the secret? Cheers and Regards

Wild stabs in the dark -- It almost seems just as likely that there is something wrong with the XP machine, since you say it had some issues while trying to interact with the Windows 7 machine. But then the Windows 7 machine and the Windows 2000 machine are the same machine, right? Maybe it's some kind of weird hardware issue on that machine? Definitely weird. Cheers and Regards

I think that is the default behavior. Cheers and Regards

I believe, and I think we can all agree, that Black Viper is as much of a recognized expert on Windows services as anyone on the net. Sure he occasionally makes an error, don't we all? Be aware that the minimal services configuration has some limitations as far as some things that might not work as you expect as a result of the minimal settings. Read the documentation and notes for details. But the beauty of disabling services is that they are easy to re-enable if necessary. As far as speeding your OS up as a result, I'm afraid I would trust MagicAndre over MS. HE is a recognized expert, at least around here, on speeding up your OS, especially the startup/shutdown times, and even more especially with Vista. Note carefully what he said: Sure, the services might make some small difference, just like you might be ale to run faster in one brand of running shoes over another. But even if you could measure the difference, in milliseconds for example, will it be a difference you will really notice? Adjusting your services is a smart thing to do, I also do it, but don't expect miracles in improved performance as a result. Andre asked you a very valid question which you have ignored. If you continue to refuse to answer questions from folks that are willing to help you in an area that they know more about than you, then very quickly you will find that you will be ignored. Cheers and Regards

My old copy of 2000sp4.EXT, dated 2006-06-27, just contains the following: (It's just a text file renamed with the .EXT extension) ccdecode.sy_faxui.dl_ks.sy_ksproxy.ax_kstvtune.ax_ksuser.dl_kswdmcap.ax_ksxbar.ax_msdv.sy_mskssrv.sy_mspclock.sy_mstee.sy_msyuv.dl_ntkrnlpa.ex_ntkrpamp.ex_pid.dl_stream.sy_swenum.sy_win32k.sy_winsrv.dl_ Please keep in mind that I haven't used this file in YEARS, and I no longer remember anything at all about it, so do what you will with it. Cheers and Regarads

You could check here for an example of a way that is claimed to work in a situation similar to yours. Cheers and Regarads

Can you give a specific example, preferably with a link so that we can see for ourselves? Cheers and Regards

I'm in the county, not the city, so I have to take care of my own garbage and recycles, but then I don't have to pay city taxes either. So I pay a company $20 a month to take care of the garbage, just for the convenience, (and to avoid the nagging from my wife, LOL), but I do my own recycling. Our local recycle center, only a few miles from me, has a special bin for TV's, CRT's, projection units, computers, etc. You are not allowed to remove anything from that bin, in fact they have signs posting that it is illegal. (Which law and why??) Where they send them for recycling I'm not sure. They also have an area to drop off working electronics where others are allowed to pick up and take whatever they want. Altogether a working solution for me. Cheers and Regarads

Thanks for the info. Actually, both of our solutions handle blank lines in the second file just fine, at least it produces the output I would expect and everything remains synced up. But you're right that your solution will get out of sync if there are blank lines in the first file, while mine handles those OK as well. [Please note that everywhere I say "my" solution I mean the one by dbenham, of course.] Cheers and Regards

@Yzöwl, Nice! Even faster and more compact. Would you please explain why you need to DISABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION the FOR statement? Or a link to a tutorial would be fine. And I assume the layers of SETLOCAL alleviate the need to clear the two line variables, even if there are blank lines, or the second file has fewer lines than the first file? I don't guess you really needed the I1_LINE variable since you could have just used %%a, or is it needed because of the SETLOCAL layer? Another advantage that your solution has, I think, is that the 1021 byte line length limit now only applies to the second file, while the first file now has a maximum line length limit of 8191 bytes, if I understand correctly. It's not a problem, merely a matter of specification and implementation, but both of our solutions quit when the first file runs out of lines. @MrJinje. I think your solution will quickly get out of hand for very large input files, but I know it could be made flexible and compact with a loop or two. Cheers and Regards

Using my superhuman Google powers (dripping with sarcasm LOL), the very first response for the search string of -- "batch read from two text files at the same time" -- gives... It seems this EXACT same question was handled here a little over a year ago. (In fact the similarity makes me wonder if this is a homework question in some programming course?) It is an interesting question however. All credit of course goes to the participants in that discussion, with the main answers given by dbenham, with input from wmz. There are three or four different methods proposed, two quite similar, but this is my favorite: (I made one slight change to meet your requirement that the content from the files are comma separated, and I used the Echo: construct.) On the off chance that this was some kind of assignment, or not, rather than just take this solution and say "Thank You", it would do you a lot of good to respond with a detailed explanation of exactly what is happening in this code as proof that you fully understand WHY it works. Understanding the why is the important thing and is what will allow you to apply this solution to future problems. You are also free to prefer an alternate solution, and if so, it would be interesting to see it and for you to tell us why you prefer it. Cheers and Regards

Yzöwl suggested that you read and find the answer yourself, not just post the exact same question in a different subforum. We are here to help you, not do it for you. Search and read a bit, try some things yourself, post what you have tried, what happened vs what you expected to happen, and what you don't understand, referencing what you read including links and error logs and screenshots as appropriate, and we'll go from there. Yes it's much more work for you this way, but this is your project. Cheers and Regards

You might want to check this out as further explanation. I believe that what it describes is true for all versions of Windows, XP and later. I guess you could say that apparently your TV uses the classic Win2K sort method. Cheers and Regards

EditPad Pro is one of my favorite text editors. I've been a supporter of theirs for years. Cheers and Regards

Thanks for all your hard work xper. Cheers and Regards

Have the problems become so frequent with this board, such as the most recent outage a few days ago, that they no longer are even mentioned here, or in the "IPB Update July 2013" threads, or any place else that I have seen? I sort of gather, http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/163688-windows-8-backdoor-access/?p=1047805, that there was a crash (do we know what caused it?) and some data loss was experienced -- again. Perhaps someone should talk with Nik over at Wincert since I think both sites are now using the same, or close to it, version of the same board software and compare notes. Wincert definitely had some issues when they last "upgraded" the board software, most of which have now been addressed or worked around, but at least they have been stable and do not have some of the formatting issues that have been complained about here. Just my two cents. EDIT: I saw mention of this latest crash over at Ryan's as well, but no explanation of what happened, if anyone knows that is. But if no one knows, then THAT is a problem! Cheers and Regards

Creator of nLite and vLite. @bphlpt: with all due respect, and no offense meant at all, but... did you actually seriously believe puntoMX mightn't know who nuhi is? @dencorso: No offense taken at all my friend. I found it very, very bizarre, but if it was meant as sarcasm, I'm afraid I missed the point he was trying to make. Sorry. Cheers and Regards

Welcome back indeed! Cheers and Regards

bigmuscle has never said or even directly implied that he plans to charge for his app. Stardock, as a for profit corporation with many non-free apps, including the one you refer to, of course can well afford the signature fee. And of course you are implying that getting a signature will magically fix bigmuscle's app so that everyone will be able to run the app on their system with no more problems of any kind, and I doubt very seriously that that is the case. Cheers and Regards

I assume you meant to say: if (IE10) document.getElementById("TimerDisplay").innerHTML=((hours < 10) ? "0" : "") + hours + ((minutes < 10) ? ":0" : ":") + minutes + ((seconds < 10) ? ":0" : ":") + seconds; var timerID=setTimeout("ins_iTimer()",1000); // Update display else var txt=((hours < 10) ? "0" : "") + hours + ((minutes < 10) ? ":0" : ":") + minutes + ((seconds < 10) ? ":0" : ":") + seconds; document.getElementById("TimerDisplay").innerHTML=txt;since you have to define txt before you can display it, don't you? Just out of curiosity, are you sure that this: var txt=((hours < 10) ? "0" : "") + hours + ((minutes < 10) ? ":0" : ":") + minutes + ((seconds < 10) ? ":0" : ":") + seconds;document.getElementById("TimerDisplay").innerHTML=txt;doesn't work in IE10? If it did, then [-4-] would be the only thing unique about IE10. Cheers and Regards
