  1. There's a WHACK load of keyboard shortcuts in Windows. Lots of which we can never remember! Ctrl-Esc: Open Start Menu Alt-Tab: Switch Application Ctrl-Alt-Del: Task Manager Those are the only ones I remember and use.
  2. Some of this may be obvious, but sometimes stating the obvious doesn't hurt. Make sure that you install the latest version of the BIOS for your motherboard. Make sure you have installed all of the latest versions of all the drivers for all your hardware. Make sure that you've installed all of Windows' updates. If you still have problems, then you may have a hardware issue.
  3. I'm pretty sure that Windows takes a screenshot, overlays it on top of everything else then simply removes all the color information gradually to accomplish a fade effect.
  4.

  5. Sure, there's lots of calculations involved in computers. Especially if you do programming or networking. Networking involves a LOT of math when you do subnetting and programming, sometimes physics comes in useful as well.
  6. Nothing will teach you more then reading and trying it out. Pick things you want to learn about and either buy books related to the matter or search online. There's LOADS of information online for everything.
  7. I would like to know exactly how much C++, Ansi, Unicode, and C-sharp programming experience that you have to make such a bold statement. Ansi or Unicode programming? You're just shooting off terminology to try to impress non-programmers. Unicode and ANSI are character definition standards. If you call yourself a credible programmer because you can convert an ANSI string to a Unicode one... then you have no idea what programming really is. 2) Creating a website. 4) Certification 5) Skeptisim 7) Traveling expenses 8) 7,300+ views from a message board (done on my own time not for the benefit of sales, because I like getting on message boards) Those things do not make you credible. 3) Governement Testing Do you have any documented proof? 6) Countless Gov./Corporate 3rd party websites that have articles and information on your product. Do you have any links to official websites with said information? Man, that must have been one hella fast writting and creating boxes to post a screenshot that fast! Wow, if you had been reading any of the post, you would have read the part where I stated that the program is not graphics driven, because it's designed to make the least impact on the OS as far as the resources go. You still haven't answered the relevance of window position information? Just to point out...."The computer is useless without an OS on it." Computer = Hardware, Hardware is independant of the OS. And there are methods to implement hardware level protection that is INDEPENDANT of the OS. BIOS protection of the hard drive's boot sector is one of the oldest examples. The NoExecute processor extension is a newer example. Both OS independant hardware implementations. If I must repeat it again, I shall.....It has it's own EVENT Hadling System. So? This is a message board, why the heck would my CEO or my Boss want to chat on here? I stated that I was the 3rd guy down in the IT/R&D department. If that's considered a Corporate Leadership position, than I think you for the title. Secondly, this is an informal message board, therefore, I don't have to be all mr. "Professional/Corporate Suit and Tie" guy. Odd, one of your first posts you mentioned "My Co-CEO, also the cheif programmer of the software always comments this "All roads in security lead to Washington".". Guess you must have been demoted pretty quickly from your own company. Also, why would I want to find a server to host my own screenshots just to post up on a message board. It was a quick and easy solution to getting these guys a screen shot real quick. I thought your company had a website? Can't host a small screenshot on your own website? No where did I mentioned that I was a "corporate leader" in information technology. Odd, your first quote on your company's products was "This is the only software solution that will literally make you get out a screw driver to change the hardware of the box to break it. It has been put up against "RED" teams of certain government agencies to be broken. It has been in a line up test with the basic AV software in government test facilities and come out the winner by a landslide, just for the simple reason it has a binary search engine. You guys have never seen this software, so I'm sure you all are skeptical about it. But it does live. Viruses are not designed to combat with such a system as this. You have to turn off the software if you want to get a virus in. And if you don't have access to it, then your not turning it off. Nothing can do what this software can do.". So now you're not so sure about the quality of your products? What happen to the landslide? It's rather hard to fake a program running if people see it with their own two eyes. Those that saw it "live", will not deny that it does what I say it does. Don Damm saw it, why don't you PM him and ask if it's true? Instead of coming on here to just post your skeptisim. Did you give him a copy to try? Or did you "demo it via NetMeeting"? I guess you know "Everything". Well, in that case, I guess you already know that when Longhorn comes out, it's still going to run in NTFS, unlike their original plan. The relevance of that to ANYTHING is? Also, you must know that processor solution that they were working on Failed to perform to expectations. Really? News to me. It actually does exactly what it's supposed to do. Prevents execution of code in memory segments marked for data. However, the hardware implementation is only half the solution. The operating system must implement it, which Windows XP Service Pack 2 does, and the software must as well. Like all new things, it takes time for everyone to get up to speed. But the hardware is there, available and on the market. The software will follow. Not sure where you were going with this statement, but ok. You obviously missed the part where forum rules were posted to you and there was a discussion about the administrating of this board within this topic. You are a little late to the party bro. I don't know what direction you are trying to go with this, however, if you ACTUALLY read every last post of every last page, you would see that I have already dealt with the skeptisim involved. And I do believe that we are somewhat past this point. 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.
  8. It's amazing how a screenshot of Windows Calculator can turn into: "They just released Microsoft Calculator 2006, Enterprise Edition, with automatic internet connection to your local bank and it can compute your daily savings that you could make if you recycled what is in your trash can!"
  9. I remember once, I thought I could do it better then Microsoft had it set up, so I messed around with all the different memory settings that are available in the registry and I turned my computer into a real hog. It was awful. Last time I messed with that.
  10. Unless you port forward your router to the servers, they cannot be accessed from the Internet. And there is no secure way to make your two servers safe if they are part of a network that has access to the Internet no matter which way you configure them. If one machine can be accessed from the outside, they all theoretically can get hacked. The best way is to insure that no port forwarding is in effect with your router and you will be one step safer.
  11. I thought /inram only applied to the WinPE?
  12. To my knowledge, any file that is needed to START the text setup must remain uncompressed, however any file thereafter that is copying during text setup or during the GUI portion of the installation can be compressed.
  13. Always check your motherboard's manual, all the information about dual channel configuration is explained within. Not every motherboard has the same configuration, though typically Slot 1 and Slot 3 will be the first dual channel pair and Slot 2 and Slot 4 will be the second dual channel pair.
  14. You know, you want to force everything to stay in RAM so that things run faster, right? Well, if do what you want to do, your computer will run slower. Windows memory managment is optimized for performance, just leave it as is.
  15. You can move a laptop from one network to another. I do it with my laptop. It think you're just having a problem with the configuration. You say you change ID and password between work and home. What ID are your refering to? Are you talking about your machine's name, your username you use to logon to the network, or are you talking about your workgroup name?
  16. Congrats, works beautiful. I tested it last night and btw, for those wondering, it does not affect Windows File Protection. The installation goes smoothly and upon checking Windows Update, it does not ask to install it. This information could be useful for anyone who's trying to slipstream Windows Installer 3.1 into a non US English version of XP. Thanks again Shark007.
  17. Now all the leet DOS coders are coming out of the woodwork... awww... I miss the days of DOS!
  18. I believe there's a way to switch users using Task Manager.
  19. You can however reduce the size of the swap file or even turn it off completely if you have sufficient ram (though not recommended).
  20. You can use my Compression Bin to recompress those source files to the same compression ratio that's originally on the CD.
  21. Looks like the KB article got too much attention, no longer available.

    win xp sp2

    Sometimes odd problems like that can be caused be a broken DLL, an corrupt ActiveX component, a bad registry entry. Anything is possible, and you could spend days or even weeks looking for the solution. Sometimes the best thing to do is just a clean re-install of windows to get everything running smooth again.
