  1. Sounds like your raid floppy is broken. I'm assuming that you already picked your RAID driver using F6 during text-mode setup?
  2. The only information we have for sure is: Microsoft Support Lifecycle
  3. Are you subscribed to their Recursive DNS? ...and if they're blocking sites and trying to "correct" DNS queries then I'm definitely not going to use them. You can turn off their "features" and use only the DNS portion. Personally, I use OpenDNS.
  4. If it says "hard drive failure" how would you not come to the conclusion that your hard drive is dead?
  5. Your windows installation could be corrupted.
  6. Make sure that both Video and Audio are set to "Direct stream copy". Set the starting point for the selection you want to keep at the 36th frame. Set the end point for the selection you want to keep at the last frame. File -> Save As Avi.
  7. 3) In TXTSETUP.SIF in the [sourceDisksFiles] section add the 2 lines... I hope don't missed any thing Will test and get back to you on that.
  8. If you can manage to make it work, send me the info and I'll update the integrator.
  9. Use the router's IP as your gateway and your DNS.
  10. They don't per se, but may his height limitations could extend in that direction. Some aftermarket fans can extend past the normal bounds of the card.
  11. Save up your cash, move it to your credit card, analyze the market. Figure out what you want, how much it's worth and what a good deal is worth on it. Then spend the holiday season (Dec to 2nd Jan) watching specials, keep watching until you find a great deal. When you find it, jump on it. It's a question of timing and opportunity.
  12. Sure, but what's the return on investment of few people buying it? I'm sure Vista will eventually become the dominant OS on the market, but mostly due to OEM inclusions and piracy. I honestly think the percentage of people that currently have Windows XP and will buy Vista is very small. Umm... what?
  13. That's only the chip inside your router.
  14. In a way, the internet is getting overloaded, but there are things like distributed file sharing (P2P) that will help lighten the load. Anyways, they'll just make the pipes bigger and keep expanding the backbones with more fiber.
  15. Define height? And how much room in the other directions?
  16. You obviously are oblivious to the problem. Your motherboard died because your power supply fried because the electricity is messed up in your house.
  17. Ironically, I'm pretty sure that I won't be buying Vista for reasons other then the price. As I'm sure you know, I run my own software development and website development company. I'm well aware of the costs involved. When you know that a certain product is meant for a certain audience, you have to develop with the understanding of how much revenue you can expect. I wrote WUD which I support with the help of RJ66, it takes time and money, but I charge nothing because I know the audience would never pay for such a utility. Pricing should revolve around the same kind of thinking. Seeing as an operating system is an essential part of a modern household, I have a hard time seeing it as a reasonable price when the cost of the operating system costs more then a majority portion of it's hardware. I sincerely disbelieve that line of thinking - If Microsoft charged $50 for Windows or Office, I sincerely doubt that would make even a minor dent in the amount of piracy for Windows and Office. Think this way: most music transferred online is done via P2P, and not legally purchased from any online store, but the cost of a legal download is at most a dollar or two per track or 12 - 15 dollars per disc. Music and software may be entirely different products, but the net outcome will likely be similar. As long as it (whatever "it" is) can be had for free, piracy is here to stay, regardless of cost. Perhaps in a way, that holds true. Yet, things like WGA are incentives that tend to force people who pirate to buy legitimate copies. Although reducing the price of Vista wouldn't eliminate piracy, it would certainly help reduce it.
  18. Bah, physics, electrical, it's all engineering anyway!
  19. Depends on the method used to send you to the new page. If you were sent by a GET response, then you won't have that, but if you were send with a POST response, it'll happen.
  20. What is the brand and model of your router?
  21. I actually got motion sickness from Aero in the first few hours of using RC2. :| I think that will change. I'm certain that there is going to be enough pressure from users who are going to keep Windows XP that they won't have a choice to support DX10 for XP. Remember when they said they refused to change the Vista's no-tranferring of license clause in the EULA? After enough pressure, that changed. Same's gonna happen with DX10. The problem is the outrageous pricing that Microsoft chooses for it's software. Last I heard, before WGA, 75% of all computers that were running XP had pirated copies. What's more revenue? 25% of installed copies at $250 or 100% of installed copies at $75? If prices were more reasonable, there would be less piracy.
  22. If an electrical engineer (Zxian) and a systems developer (Me) tell you that there's cause for concern in your wiring, then maybe you should seriously consider having your electrical outlets inspected by a qualified electrician. There is absolutely nothing normal about the lights diming because you plug something in.
  23. Maybe you have a problem with the electricity in your wall... it's not normal for your lights to dim when you turn on your computer.
  24. That's because back then, Norton was developed by Peter Norton before he was bought by Symantec in 1990. Symantec was actually founded in 1982.
  25. I believe nothing has changed per se, only the binaries have been updated. So everything should stay the same.
