    Word document exports as htm with .doc extension

    in Microsoft Office

    Posted

    open the document in notepad and paste the first few lines in here so we can diagnose. It could be the attachment is being sent wrong, it could be the extention is renamed...

    There are lots of reasons why this can happen. It can also happen when you use certain webmail facilities, they exclud ethe extention so when you save it it saves as an corrupt file.

    Perpetual Motion Machine? Discussion. Plans + theory.

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    one flaw inthe above is the circular magnets at the top of the device. If set up correctly the magnets should act like in the diagram and only go one way, but in reality they will go both directions, clockwise at one time and counter-clockwise another because they will react with the magnets on the spinning disk and force themselves to spin.

    Another problem is that you must firstly cause the enter disk to spin by pushing it, otherwise the magbets will allreact aainst each other and keep the device stationary. All forces cause in the magnetic fields will cause the top magnets to move and the disk to move. But because their is no direction forced at the beginning (unless acted upon from an external source) half the magnets will move one way, half the other and will cancel all circular momentum.)

    If im wrong in this them tell me, but as far as im aware this is the case. The problem seen so far with all designs of "perpetual motion machines" has been, the energy put in to startthe reaction usually is greater than the energy given out. In this case the magnets must exert a fource greater than the frictional forces on the wheel to allow it to turn, then you must ensure the top magnets can only revolve inone direction (which still wont stop the magnets from revolving asyncronously and stopping the turning motion)

    For loop: split string and echo every token

    in Programming (C++, Delphi, VB/VBS, CMD/batch, etc.)

    Posted

    Th difference is

    FOR %%a IN (echo %DISCARD%)

    echo is a print command, so basically you are asking it to break down something being printed (how do you break down a command???) e.g. for <every part> of (print <variable>) is what you instructed it to do

    FOR %%a IN (%DISCARD%)

    break down the variable it its commpoent parts

    e.g. for <every part> of (<variable>) is what you instructed it to do

    Newb question here........

    in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003

    Posted · Edited by phkninja

    should be

    SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx

    REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Mark_Test" /f

    REG ADD %KEY%\1 /VE /D "Kyocera Mita Install" /f
    REG ADD %KEY%\1 /V 1 /D "c:\migration\AI_KYOCERA_MITA_INSTALL.exe" /f

    This would be better though

    SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx

    REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Mark_Test" /f

    REG ADD %KEY%\01 /VE /D "Kyocera Mita Install" /f
    REG ADD %KEY%\01 /V 1 /D "c:\migration\AI_KYOCERA_MITA_INSTALL.exe" /f

    or

    SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx

    REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Mark_Test" /f

    REG ADD %KEY%\a1 /VE /D "Kyocera Mita Install" /f
    REG ADD %KEY%\a1 /V 1 /D "c:\migration\AI_KYOCERA_MITA_INSTALL.exe" /f

    creating Vista Ultimate boot dvd (solved)

    in Windows Vista

    Posted

    That was my next port of call after the space requirement.

    As mercury said check you are in admin mode before trying to create the image, as you know from Linux if you dont have the right permissions you cant do anything. The same is also true for Vista, MS has made it d**n impossible to do anything without logging into the admin account on vista.

    Convert Source Code

    in Programming (C++, Delphi, VB/VBS, CMD/batch, etc.)

    Posted

    Piorted programs usually are edited versions of the originals. The reasone for the edits are

    1) Convert \LF to \LF \CR for windows (\LF = Line Feed, \CR = Carrige return. in c or c++ thats \n and \r)

    2) Edit any code specific to the OS, eg network programming, directory handlin etc

    3) Change any GUI specific code. Some convert from KDE code to wxWidgets so it can be run on all OSes

    Sata - NO Raid, Unplugging devices or not?

    in nLite

    Posted · Edited by phkninja

    no, this is not essential (if you know which drive 8is the one you want to install to). but it might be advisable to disconnect any other hard drives, and slipstream the SATA driver into the install.

    I have done an install on a SATA system with 3 devices connected, and also installed on machines that had ide and sata with the ide being the one for win and vica versa. The reason i would suggest disconnecting all other hd's is so you dont get confused when installing, and also by only having the required hd connected any problems with the SATA driver integration will be show (it wont show a drive to install to if the driver is not integrated properly)

    according to the unattaned guide examples, you were missing an all important \ between %KEY% and the number. Without this \ you will get

    REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx1
    REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx2
    REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx3
    etc

    after the %KEY% is expanded during processing. Also as Arie already said they will run as 1,10,11,12...2,20,21... if you dont put 0 (or another character like a befor the digit)

    Data transfer rates

    in Networks and the Internet

    Posted · Edited by phkninja

    Brian- Ok here is how you calculate that

    1024 bytes = 1KB

    1024 KB = 1 MB

    1024 MB = 1GB

    etc

    the reason for 1024 is to do with information being stored in binary (in bits). 1024 is 2^10.

    Therefore 7.5MB = 7.5 * 1024 *1024 = 7864320 bytes

    This makes your calculation into

    7864320 / 60 = 131072 bytes per second, * 8 bits = 1048576 bits per sec, = 1024 Kb/s or 1Mb/s

    Just so you know some manufacturers of hard drives have been fined in Europe for advertising a hard drives as having more space because they use the wrong conversion e.g. 500GB, they use 1000 bytes = 1Kb etc, so they are actually selling 465GB of space ((500*1000*1000*1000 )/ (1024*1024*1024))

    This is also why in Windows when you look at a hard drives space info it will say one figure for bytes and something different for GB, e.g. 4,550,839,296 bytes used (4.23GB used)

    My $1\My Downloads Folder didn't make it?

    in nLite

    Posted

    Firstly was

    $OEM$\$\My Downloads
    a typo, it should be
    $OEM$\$1\My Downloads

    lokk here

    Also when looking to fix a fault like this, graphics can help. Open the cd in Explorer and create a screenshot of the left pane with all the $OEM$ folder expanded (like in the unattended guide above). This will help us see if the folders are named correctly etc
