ogg is better or same quality for less bitrate. for the same bitrate ogg is better.

the simplest way to do this is to use software like file and folder protector http://www.getfreefile.com/ffp.html folder password protect http://www.protect-folders.com/

Sorry I totally forgot about this http://www.dynebolic.org/ its a cd based linux distro for mulitmedia creation. Then there is an article http://dynebolic.org/manual/dynebolic-x171.en.html which shows you how to make a "render farm" using the cd in every machine. (information is on the site about running) or if you only want to run with one cd/dvd try this http://spot.river-styx.com/viewarticle.php?id=12 This article tells you how to "install" the files on a hraddrive so you only need one cd. When you want to run your render farm you only need put the cd in the drive boot the computer and eject the disk. By doing either of these you can use neworked computers of any type as part of your render farm, but also means when you reboot the machine it will run like normal (meaning you can use both of these methods to run your render farm on windows based machines. So you reboot with the cd in the drive when you need to generate audio/video, but then remove the disk and reboot to go back to windows. This means you can use it on a network that may be required for another use from day to day. And also means you do not have to do a lenghty install process for each machine. Method 1 uses a cd for every machine, you put the cd in and reboot and the machine is automatically added to the cluster.

openmosix is a good way to go. Basically its a patch for the linux kernel, so install your distro of choice and then download the kernel patch. when the patch is on the linux machine, you patch and recompile the kernel. The benefits of this system are that all linux programs run with it because its a linux kernel patch, so you can use your favourite audio/video software without having to patch it for distributed computing. If you want a really quick install use clusterknoppix http://openmosix.sourceforge.net/instant_o...x_clusters.html Its aon openmosix version of knoppix. Download the iso for the cd or dvd version, burn a copy for each machine and put the cd/dvd in the drive of each computer. Reboot and hey presto a distributed network (once they are all connected on a network) The only downfall to this method is it may not contain the software and codecs you require.

if your looking for a quich and simple pdf printer give pdf blender a try. As was said above the output file lokks as if the program is trying to print binary data reather than text (like an image)

Sarah, can you be more specific about how the design is input. it is possible to create a dynamic web page using php, perl (cgi), java (jsp) or vbscript(asp) which will create the page for you. Is the final layout the same or does it differ for each customer and if it changes for each customer what changes are made in the document layout for different customers? The reason i ask this is, that if the final layout remains the same then its a simple task to change the information in the page, but if the page layout differes the script must take int poaccount the layout changes and why the changes are made.

I dont know of any program that takes a word document and saves it as html that keeps the exact layout. The problem, in my mind, is that tab spacing can be setup differently from software to software, and can vary from 4 spaces to 8 spaces. In html only the first space character is recognised and the rest are discarded (hence the reason for being used as this is recognised as a space that should be displayed). the only thing I can think of is to replace the tab characters with commands I think word uses 8 spaces for a tab, which means all tabs should be replaced with (10 space commands as the spacing in word and in html are narrower. It could be more but give it a try)

give me a week and i could or do a search for dtmf decoder circuit schematics in google. There are numerous decoder chips out there, and im sure you can find one that suits your needs. if you need me to do a schematic then let me know

As stated before the modem would need to be able to read the DTMF tones transmitted by the telephone to be able to decode the keypresses. Most modems are unable to do this. What you could do is have a box that connects to your 9 pin serial, or 25 pin parrallel connector on the computer, that takes has an input from the phone line (at the telephone) and decodes the DTMF tones. This can then transmit the number bacj to the PC. THis is not extremly complex, but requires a circuit board for the box, and a program to read the serial number from the serial/parrallel port and place it in the text field of choice. (the placing of the data is the most complex part, but if you saveed the numbers and the time to a txt file it could be copied to the field when required)

to do this ypou must have a server side scripting language like php or vbscript (in the case pf asp pages) to process thr user submitted information, format it to look correctly and then email it in a method that it will look the same at the other end. When you procees the "reciept" you can have the information processed as a text only file (.txt) with no formats like bold or underlined, or you can have it processed as a html page and display images as well. But in either you must add the reciept to the email as an attachment.

i appologise, ethreal doesnt have port scanning features. Tain was right. you can use angry ipscan/portscan. seems easy to use http://www.angryziber.com/ipscan/

the file wont be called ntoskrnl_bak.exe, that was just an example. Try looking in bootkins folder to see if there is a backup folder, or in the windows\system32 directory to see if there is a backup file there. Dont know exactly how bootskin works, but to me logically thats how I would do it. (So its what I think it does)

as far as i know it creates a backup of the ntoskrnl file, and then puts its copy of the ntoskrnl in its place. by not changing the name from ntoskrnl.exe it doesnt require /KERNEL= because it uses the default name e.g copy ntoskrnl.exe ntoskrnl_back.exe copy oemkrnl.exe ntoskrnl.exe (taking oemkrnl.exe to be the name of the kernel bootskin installs) If thats not what happens, then let me know

Can anyone tell me how i might go about replacing icons from within windows. I have looked through all the articles I can find, and have even looked at articles from other resourecs (searching in google). I want to replace the dll and cpl icons but from within windows. firstly i run this batch file REM File backup. To enable file backup for removal of new icons cmdow @ /HID @echo off md c:\windows\undo md c:\windows\undo\logs md c:\windows\undo\logs\dllcache md c:\windows\undo\logs\sys32 xcopy c:\windows\system32\access.cpl c:\windows\undo /K /Q xcopy c:\windows\system32\appwiz.cpl c:\windows\undo /K /Q Then run this batch file REM Replacement of files process -s explorer.exe FOR %%i in (dllcache\*.txt) DO reshacker.exe -script %%i FOR %%i in (sys32\*.txt) DO reshacker.exe -script %%i process -r explorer.exe My scripyts for the dll cache files are in the dllcache folder, and the system32 scripts are in sys32. Process is a program i found that will allow shuting down of processes, put processes in standby (-s disable from use but leave in memory, but can be renabled with -r). Each script is in the form [FILENAMES] Exe = "c:\windows\system32\appwiz.cpl" SaveAs = "c:\windows\system32\appwiz.cpl" Log = "c:\windows\undo\logs\sys32\appwiz.cpl.log" [COMMANDS] -addoverwrite "c:\windows\iconpack\2_appwiz.cpl\1.bmp", BITMAP, 100, -addoverwrite "c:\windows\iconpack\2_appwiz.cpl\2.bmp", BITMAP, 101, -addoverwrite "c:\windows\iconpack\2_appwiz.cpl\3.bmp", BITMAP, 102, -addoverwrite "c:\windows\iconpack\2_appwiz.cpl\4.bmp", BITMAP, 103, -addoverwrite "c:\windows\iconpack\2_appwiz.cpl\5.bmp", BITMAP, 104, -addoverwrite "c:\windows\iconpack\2_appwiz.cpl\6.bmp", BITMAP, 105, -addoverwrite "c:\windows\iconpack\2_appwiz.cpl\7.bmp", BITMAP, 106, -addoverwrite "c:\windows\iconpack\2_appwiz.cpl\8.bmp", BITMAP, 107, -addoverwrite "c:\windows\iconpack\2_appwiz.cpl\10.bmp", BITMAP, 5001, -addoverwrite "c:\windows\iconpack\2_appwiz.cpl\11.bmp", BITMAP, 5002, -addoverwrite "c:\windows\iconpack\2_appwiz.cpl\12.bmp", BITMAP, 5003, -addoverwrite "c:\windows\iconpack\2_appwiz.cpl\13.bmp", BITMAP, 5100, -addoverwrite "c:\windows\iconpack\2_appwiz.cpl\15.ico", ICONGROUP, 1501, -addoverwrite "c:\windows\iconpack\2_appwiz.cpl\16.ico", ICONGROUP, 1502, -addoverwrite "c:\windows\iconpack\2_appwiz.cpl\17.ico", ICONGROUP, 1503, When i run this, it updates some of the icons (like notepad). but nothing more. What am i doing wrong??

ethreal, its more than justa port scanner

Good idea, but Pure API is really hard to get to grips with if you dont have a good programming background. If you know c, then you can always use the gtk+ library ported to windows. Much easier than Win32 API, have been there. AS i said earlier, if you know c++ then you can use the wxwidgets library. this is really simple to use, like calling any other class, and is totally free and cross compatable. It has a good following, and there are a few free IDe's that support it.

how unless they split it or only send a url to an uploaded file. email can only carry 2.2mb in all so they have to split it into a load of emails or upload it and give yu a url

Its good to hear you are on the mend. I have to say the photos and the site content are very informative. Wish all the best for the futuer operation, and that it will all work out for you.

my point was he has s many options it all depends on what he want to do. Excluding java he can run any of the above. With the interpteted languages he must also distribute the interpreter. Therefore its better to use a compiled language. In this case you have the choice of C/C++ Pascal Delphi Cobol Fortran etc

Yes i have tried it and it worked fine for me. I accidently used my retail cd as a base when creating an unattended cd for building comps (i have retail cd fro my machine, oem for comps I build). So instead of rebuilding from scratch I modded the setup.ini, thus saving me a few hours.

comiled c++ with mfc (coplex, only microsoft) c++ with wxwidgets (as easy as simple c++, cross compatible) interpreted perl with gtk perl with wxwidgets perl with tcl/tk python with tcl/tk python with wxwidgets java The list is endless. It all depends on what you want to do and the amount of time yu can dedicate to learnig it. What i will say is if you are used to C# then C++ is a step backwards, and should be easy to learn, or java which is aln the same lines as C#. After all C# is microsofts version of Java, that extends C++.

Program: Blowfish File Encyptor (command line) Description: This is a small application i wrote that implements the Blowfish Encryption algorythm. The archive contains a header for Blowfish Encryption/Decryption, a Header file to implement MD5 hash algorythm (required by command line program), and a command line program source file. The command line program is a fully functional file encryptor. If the supplied password is less than 128 bits [16 characters long] it uses an MD5 hash of the password as a key, as it is recommended that password be at least 128 bits to be secure, and can take password up to 56 characters long which is the limit of the Blowfish algorythm. Language: C, but will work in C++ (Removed from my website) blowfish.7z or blowfish.exe

click ignore. it usually happens when you use an unsigned driver. i got that problem with a normal cd and my sata drivers disk. told it to ignore and it ran fine.

answer theres one file that makes the difference. and to stop anyone getting offended or thinking you are carrying out illegal activities go here i googled and found this http://freepctech.com/pc/xp/xp00066.shtml btw, i dont think its illegal to modify the cd type as all this does is tell the disk what kind of key to look for. it would be however to use the same key as unattended. if he is not using it as an unattended but as a normal windows cd then there should technically be no problems with it. Basicall he has 3 cds of different types and wants to create new cd with the updates integrated. so he could do it 3 times once for each disk or he could find the file responsible for this and copy it to make his 3 cds again.

The way they are done is to find the value before you edit the registry. export it as a reg file, then import the new settings. because you have already run the new file, you have no way of "going back" as you dont know what the original values are. only thing i can suggest is post your reg file and someione might be able to fix some of the updates you made
