It's < 50$ for 512 MB.... Treat yourself to a Fat Client. How about you, Digerati, how many you use?

Need more info. what kind of app is kepstart, windows app? console? and how are you launching it?

I heard it here first. I give you credit. And wow, you gotta lotta stars!

Goes in spam folder of what email client? see what your filter settings are.

I check them out

Maynard is 1 sik dude. they always start these side projects like billy corgan & pumpkins then they never get back to the band. Glad their still together, but if they aint makin music whats the point? Perfect Circle is cool, but a little too out there, I like the Tool sound.

I always hated rap. Not even music! NIN is OK, but My #1 is The Offspring... like audio meth. Really dug Tool before they split up.

smells fishy. productorder.microsoft.com i would believe, but not ms as the subdomain.

try UnattendMode=ProvideDefault i think that is what you want

Like ENRON, maybe? I am just doing math in my head. Not too good at math but... $99 - cheapest price for XP imaginable = not worth anyones time to install

a43 is nice replacement for explorer. agent ransack a good replacement for ms search. both free.

Theres no way any shop gave you a legit copy of XP AND installed it for $99. You were rooked. I would mention their name to BSA. http://bsa.org/

cache is where browser keeps local copy of web page. if you surf back to same page, browser tries to get it from cache first. makes browsing much faster on dialup. if you have broadband not so much. also lets you view offline cached pages. yes it is safe to delete. they will just come back as you surf unless you turn cache size to zero in options.

recovery may be on a fat32 partition on drive. do you have a boot floppy? one should have come with the machine if this is the case. else get one somewhere and boot from that and see if you can access the recovery tools.

They are touting this as a feature of pro version. this seems to imply that personal doesn't have it. http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adawareprofessional/

put "rar.exe" (under program files\winrar) in path, then you can use from command line. type rar /? for options. put in a batch with "for" loop to rar each file.

Yeah, the question should be "How should I retaliate"? and some choices. be creative. something involving dead fish maybe. or you could buy some drums and practice at 3:00 AM.

Do you know any programming languages?

The question is very vague, but I find Visual FoxPro the easiest tool to use to create desktop database apps. There are many books on this topic. too much to go into on this forum. But as a rule a good starting point is to ask your users to sketch what they think the interface should look like, then evaluate their ideas. Even if they suck it makes people feel like part of the process and are less resistant to change when it is implemented.

http://www.dirms.com/ dirms (do it right, microsoft) is a great, free command line defragger. It can move files by last access date, and move all files to front of drive. set it up in task scheduler to run every night or as often as you like. the other program on this site, buzzsaw, is a real-time defragger. meaning it will defrag continuously when system usage is below 5%. They are both free and work at least as good if not better than stuff you have to pay for. Much more effective than XP standard defragger. Be sure to run chkdsk often too.

If your data is valuable there are many companies that specialize in data recovery of dead drives. If it's not that valuable then I wish you luck finding a circuit donor drive.

AVG. I put it on all of my home customers computers. Don't know really if it is "Better" than the others, but it works well and is FREE for home use. Also it updates itself with no problems. I have had troubles with symantec liveupdate and also with mcaffee update. I also use AntiVir on my UBCD4WIN BartPE boot disk and it also works well.

I had call the other day where lady was getting "Press any key to continue" message, only trouble was she coulden't find the "any" key. Makes you wonder how some people make it through life. Confused, I guess.

yes "more.com" in system32 (used to be in \dos). doesn't have to be in the directory as long as it's in the path (which it is)
