  1. Is it any kind of trap to trace my computer activities?
    Not likely. Some people who buy wireless routers don't secure their routers, so anyone can access it. However, it's not a good idea to send sensitive data over a unsecured wireless router... (Interesting link)
    The network name is Broadcom and it appears alongwith UTStarcom (secured, login required) in my wireless connections.
    These are the broadcast names of the routers. The broadcast names exist so that people can tell them apart.
    This means that I am able to connect because one of my neighbor could not configure his connection properly.
    No, it means that you can connect to the wireless router because the router isn't configured to be secure. That person's router is configured properly for him/her to access the internet, but just not in a secure manner.
    However, as I was able to connect to it without using my wireless stick or the wired DSL, is it possible that I subscribe to it and use it from anywhere?
    If your computer has built-in WiFi, then you can access any unsecured WiFi router in range of your computer. You can also access any secured router as long as you know the passcode.
    I mean can it also be used for roaming purpose, without having to carry that pathetic TATA (Epivalley's) USB MODEM?
    Yes and no. See above answer.
  2. LOL! Y'all are funny!

    Guys not been funny, but just tried a couple of things you have said.... erm well im not sure but.. its not working???

    I heard about water cooling and followed what you said, but it was kinda little spark and now nothing works???

    Changed my fuse still not working.. any ideas?

    I'm just gonna shake my head and walk away.....

  3. I saw this and it reminded me of something that happened at work. I frankly couldn't believe it when I was told about it....

    While unloading some vechicles at our work, one of the newest temps had to have a vechicle jumped off (dead unit). He drove the vechicle off, parked it and turned off the engine, all according to company policy (at the time). Once he turned off the vechicle, the power locks didn't unlock the doors for him. So he proceeded to kick out the window FROM THE INSIDE, bending the door frame and damaging the interior of the door (not to mention breaking the window itself!). It turns out that he didn't know how to unlock the door manually..... As Bill Ingvall would say: Here's your sign!

    EDIT: Oh, yeah. I guess it's needless to say that he didn't work at my company after that....

  4. does ultramon help you?
    Ultramon? What's that, bledd?
    if you could post your autoit script, it would even be better.
    Sure, jaclaz! I'm sure that the code could be improved upon, but here it is. Please note that when it is run from a folder other than "%WinDir%\Script", it copies itself to "%WinDir%\Script" and registers itself to run on startup.

    ; Default tray menu items (Script Paused/Exit) will not be shown.
    Opt("TrayMenuMode",1)

    ; If script is run from anywhere other than script folder in Windows install, copy there and exit:
    If @ScriptDir <> @WindowsDir & "\Script" then
    DirCreate( @WindowsDir & "\Script" )
    FileCopy( @ScriptFullPath, @WindowsDir & "\Script", 1 )
    RegWrite( "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run", "RunMCE", "REG_SZ", @WindowsDir & "\Script\" & @ScriptName )
    Exit
    Endif

    ; Launch Media Center software:
    Run( @WindowsDir & "\ehome\ehShell.exe" )
    WinWaitActive( "Media Center" )
    WinMove( "Media Center", "", @DesktopWidth, 0, 800, 600 )

    ; Create Tray Menu:
    TraySetIcon( @WindowsDir & "\ehome\ehShell.exe" )
    $First = TrayCreateItem( "Move to Monitor" )
    $Second = TrayCreateItem( "Move to TV" )
    TrayCreateItem( "" )
    $Exit = TrayCreateItem( "Exit MCE Helper" )
    TraySetState()

    ; Answer tray messages as they come in:
    While 1
    $msg = TrayGetMsg()
    Select
    Case $msg = 0
    ContinueLoop
    Case $msg = $First
    WinMove( "Media Center", "", 0, 0, 800, 600 )
    Case $msg = $Second
    WinMove( "Media Center", "", @DesktopWidth, 0, 800, 600 )
    Case $msg = $Exit
    ExitLoop
    EndSelect
    WEnd
    Exit

    EDIT: Note that when script launches from "%WinDir%\Script", it runs MCE then moves it to beyond desktop (assumes TV is at @DeskTopWidth+1 and TV is set to 800x600). Right-clicking tray icon allows movement of MCE between Monitor and TV, assuming it isn't maximized.

  5. I have on-board Intel Graphics hardware, which I want to use for my desktop. I also have an nVidia MX440 that I plan on using for MCE at the same time. How can I launch MCE only on the nVidia card? I appreciate any assistance given.

    EDIT: Also, is there any way of switching MCE from one screen to the other? Just thought I'd ask.... Oh, I've tried searching and found many forum topics, however all of the ones I've read are not applicable. Thanks in advance!

    EDIT2: Just had another thought.... Do I need to share the desktop between the two screens? The nVidia card is going to be hooked up to my TV in the living room and the Intel hardware is hooked up to my monitor in another room. Thanks!

  6. I've been having a problem where I'm running Microsoft Update and I try to look at the optional software updates. Once I click on optional software updates, the computer opens another MU in the window pane where the updates show up. I know this isn't normal behavior. Help, please!

  7. Is it possible to boot into a floppy image, which then boots to the CD? Right now, what I've got is a boot menu using CdShell to select the boot option. This is OK, but here is what I want to have happen:

    (1) Boot into floppy image.

    (2) Performs check for PC Recovery partition. If non-existant, create the partition structure on the hard drive.

    (3) Boot into CD menu.

    I can create the boot floppy to do the job, but I don't know how to make this whole thing work properly. Can someone help? Thanks!

  8. Proper way to install Windows from within another copy of Windows is to run the WINNT32.EXE command this way:

    WINNT32 /unattend:<path to WINNT.SIF>

    That way your unattended settings will take. While booting from CD, the WINNT.SIF should be processed correctly and the Product Key should be picked up (assuming the WINNT.SIF is written correctly).
