    Shutdown issues

    Do you think Microsoft invests hundreds of thousands of dollars in Windows Service Packs and Windows Updates for the fun of it? If you refuse to take proper advice because you find it "annoying" then you're posting in the wrong forum and MSFN is not the place for you. If you have only SP1 installed then you're missing over 150 hotfixes which can very well be responsible for causing a multitude of issues that you may experience. Refusing to accept the facts will yield no pity from us.
  2. Whether HKLM or HKCU is read is entirely dependent on the software, it's a programming choice to read from one or the one (or from one then the other).
  3. Dude, relax. A simple no would have sufficed. There are people here who would be willing to help him out. You know, the ENTIRE MSFN community has been built on people helping people FOR FREE because they wanted to. If you don't want to, that's fine, just don't reply to the post.
  4. Indeed, the "Interactive Logon: Do not require CTRL+ALT+DEL" group policy applies both to the main logon and the return from a password-protected screensaver.
  5. It's just a matter of time before we'll be able to have DX10 on XP. Remember how they said that we'd never be able to bypass DVD encryption? Then they said the same thing about HD-DVD and BluRay. The same thing will happen with DX10, they'll keep saying "No no no, it's for Vista only. You just can't do it with XP." and in a few months, everyone will be able to get DX10 running on XP.
  6. Whatever the case may be RJARRRPCGP, wether the hard drive operated in PIO mode or UDMA has absolutely no bearing on the original poster's statement which you quoted "I reviewed again my computer and the problem is wind*ws 2000 and itunes(I forgot reinstall the service pack 4 after repairs)".
  7. I don't believe there's a way to specifically change the order the disk drive are in per se. The drive order is determined first by order of controller then by order of channel. Say one drive is on channel 2 of the IDE controller and one drive is on channel 1 of the SATA controller, if the IDE is detected first, the IDE hard drive will come first even if it's on the 2nd channel. Changing the boot order in the bios will not change this, it will simply change, as it's named, the order in which the drive will boot, not their position.
  8. Using an IDE to SATA converter for your hard drive would be to your advantage since it would allow your CD-Rom to be by itself on the IDE cable. Two devices on the same IDE cable will always cause bottlenecks, it native to the technology. I wouldn't advise using the converter for the CD-Rom at the moment, even if it would work, as SATA ATAPI protocols are still unstable.
  9. It's to help reduce EMI interference.
  10. An alternative to that would be to simply turn off Autorun on your USB key.
  11. Unless there's a way to do so directly in Windows, a quick alternative may be to use AspUser within a VBScript.
  12. I don't know if HP branded computers use the same method for installing XP as Dell computers do, but if so, the number returned by Jelly Bean WILL NOT match the one on the side of the machine, even if it is installed correctly. And why not?
  13. Yea, sorry about that. I read your post but I didn't follow your links. My bad.
  14. What you want is not sub-domains. What you need to do is use the concept of virtual hosting. It allows you to host more then one domain using the same physical machine. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/vhosts/
  15. It never ceases to amaze me the new approaches people come up with to solve a problem.
  16. Has anyone ever considered the fact that the Windows which is installed on the PC is either not the original windows (ie: someone re-installed corp) or not the proper CD key? You can use Jellybean to see if the registered key matches the one on the COA glued on the machine.
  17. Use FileMon while running the application as an Administrator, then give proper access to the user only to the directories which are required by your application.
  18. What risk? you are so naive Goes to show just how little you know.
  19. That probably was because the HDD was in PIO mode! Windows 2000 without service packs is incompatible with HDDs higher than UDMA66! Without service packs at all, Windows 2000 will think that the HDD don't support DMA at all! What in the world does that have to do with anything? I won't even get into the that your facts are wrong.
  20. A more in depth explanation of passive vs active can be found here. The symptoms you describe sound like a firewall issue, either on your server or on your client machine. Somewhere somehow ports are being blocked because you can establish a connection but it doesn't fully work, which means that port 21 is okay, but the data ports are having an issue.
  21. That is incorrect. IDE supports 2 devices per channel. SATA supports 1 device per channel. There is no limit to the number of channels that can be used. You could have 200 IDE channels and you could have 200 SATA channels. The only limit is in the chip designs and motherboard layouts.
  22. I have no idea what causes this but I believe it's a mixup in the Z-order of windows...
  23. Stop guessing and do research instead. The only difference between the 925 and the 930 is that the 930 supports Intel Virtualization Technology while the 925 does not.
  24. Uh... do the words Laser Printer mean anything to you?
  25. Adobe Acrobat Professional.
