Again, please do not post your question in more then one forum. *sighs*

In AMDs, the FSB is doubled. So at 133MHz, your CPU and RAM work at 266MHZ... Try setting your FSB to 166Mhz (for 333MHz) and see if your system runs stable. If not then try working it up to 145 and see if it's stable. Just play around with it. Worse that can happen by simply changing the FSB is that it won't boot. Then you have to clear the CMOS and try again.

Please do not post the same question in more then one forum. We will answer you, posting in multiple forums just frustrates us.

Do some reading here. It'll help you walk through requirements for Windows networking as well as how to troubleshoot and diagnose your problems.

There's a lot of windows programming that still relies on C++. Let's just say that if you learn C++ is valuable and not a waste of time.

Valid subnets can only contain 0 - 255 for each byte.

@Zxian - Thanks @rhythmnsmoke - I DID say "Actually, you may have convinced people that aren't as apt with computers, however I do doubt that you have convinced real programmers and true tech people that you aren't full of it." However, anyone with half a grasp of the english language will understand that nowhere in that statement is there an insult to the rest of this community. I respect this community and there's a lot of really bright people here. There's also a lot of new users who come here looking for advice and help. They very obviously cannot have the same understanding of computers as some of us others do. That's why I'm saying that while you try to impress people with your fancy talk, the ones of us who do have heavy background in computers and do know what we're talking about know that you don't know jack. Example? Let's see, now that I blew a whole in your ANSI/Unicode parade, now you're trying to impress people with ATL, WTL and STL programming. See, ATL stands for Active Template Library, WTL stands for Windows Template Library and STL stands for Standard Template Library. Although these are C++ libraries, it certainly is not a programming language and certainly does not establish that you are you know jack because you can shoot off abreviations of some C++ libraries. And now, you've skated so much and you've run around in circles shooting off your mouth and with all the BS you've been trying to feed everyone, that even if you posted code or if you posted programs you may have developed, no one would believe that you had actually accomplished that on your own. See, you're one of those little kids that goes around on the net stealing everybody's code, trying to pass it off as your own, trying to make others believe you're hot stuff just so you can make people believe all the BS you feed them. Sorry, but you came to the wrong place for that. You just ran into a large group of people who KNOW their stuff and KNOW you're full of it and now you don't know how to defend yourself because you don't actually have any real concrete knowledge or experience about anything you say. And by the way, shell extension programming is really not as hard as you try to make it seem it is. Maybe if you had come in here and acted as a normal person and showed some of the stuff you were working on, maybe we would have believe you. And maybe, we would have even helped you. Now? You're just an id***.

Go to Microsoft.com and go to the downloads section. Then simply type "KB######" and you will be able to get those files.

Chances are that if you have leaked capacitors, your board is toast. It's a common problem with low quality motherboards. The only company that I have yet to see leaked capacitors from is ASUS.

I'd like to see a French version of this service pack. Seeing as I live in Québec, whenever I ever do have to install 98 SE it's in French.

Be very careful! You may get suprised by the fact that newer motherboards do NOT support slower FSBs in most cases. I had the problem recently when trying to rebuild a machine with a shorted power supply. The processor, an Athlon Thunderbird 1300+ had a FSB of 200MHz and didn't have support on most motherboards I found. Finally ended up installing it on an ASUS A7S8X-MX which had support for 200/266/333 FSBs. Most current motherboards support only 266/333 or 266/333/400. See if the CPU is slower then the maximum FSB of the board, then the board will simply slow down to the FSB of the CPU. However, if the FSB of the CPU is not within the supported range, most of the time the board won't even boot.

Noted.

Bad publicity probably.

Abit is actually in court in the US under a class action lawsuit for defective capacitors on their motherboards. Heh.

What where you trying to change it to?

Point taken and agreed. Good work.

Which text are you referring to?

No gateway also means no routing within the local network doesn't it?

I don't believe that thermal compound is conductive, so I don't think it would do damage. However, since cpus run on such low voltage, I'd be nervous to risk it. Using isopropyl alcohol and a toothpick will allow you to clean off all of the thermal compound. I've honestly never heard of anyone doing that before though.

Because no one ever argues about what's better? Right? Heh... network security is such a subjective matter that can be debated without end.

I don't know much about linux security, I specialize mostly in Windows based systems. See the problem is that even if you install secondary network cards, just the fact that one of the machines connects to the internet leaves that "door" possibility. My only advice would be to forward only the absolute minimum of ports. Make sure all your computers are secured with alphanumeric passwords and have all of the latest operating system and application level updates possible.

What does the dllcache have to do with anything? dllcache only caches dlls that have been loaded and/or accessed recently for performance reasons. It should have absolutely no bearing on the windows file protection?

Certification is definately the way. Look, I know computer like the back of my hand, I've been working with them since I was a little kid. But I have no official certification, so I have a hard time getting computer related work. Most managers in companies that look for computer staff have little to no computer knowledge and have nothing but certifications to rely on when choosing their staff. Microsoft Certifications are invaluable. MCSE, A+ and Cisco certification are all top of the line certifications.

Hey Zxian, I'm originally from Vancouver myself. Really miss it there. Great place, even own a dating website from back there. Anyways, if you want a really cheap upgrade, get yourself an Asrock K7S41GX from NCIX. I'm not going to lie to you, it's not ASUS quality, but it's a fast, solid board. I've installed at least 8 of them so far. I have two of my clients that are running that board with Sempron 2300+ cpus that have the FSB overclocked to 400MHZ combined with DDR 400 memory. They run stable, they're peppy and upbeat, and really cheap.

False. Any portions of the hard drive that are used for such purposes as Indexing are accounted withing the formatted size of the hard drive. Also, the difference between FAT32 and NTFS can be summed up as a difference in cluster sizes and cluster management, also NTFS supports file indexing, compression, encryption and security. The difference in data size and size on disk is that the actual data size is the actual byte by byte total of all the data on the hard drive, whilst the size on disk is the total amount of clusters in use for storing that data. Also, there are 8 bits per byte, not 8.2. 1 Bit is a equal to 1 or 0. 8 consecutive bits in binary equal to one byte, which can be defined as 0 to 255 in decimal. 1024 Bytes = 1 KiloByte 1048576 Bytes = 1 MegaByte 1073741824 Bytes = 1 GigaByte
