  1. wow! its amazing to see what kind of amazing projects keeping coming up on MSFN. keep it up guys! Natan, best of luck with your efforts man. Hope your project receives the support it deserves. I for one, am going to try it out as soon as im done with my exams. danish
  2. hey man. great site. thanks for contributing. i think all newbies as well as the pros should check out this site. covers some useful stuff. cheers
  3. yeh. so thats not so bad. lets try this. int spaces,i; string name, myspaces; cout << "Enter name"; cin >> name; spaces=name.size() + 2; myspaces=""; myspaces.append("*\n"); i=0; while (i<spaces){ myspaces.append("\n"); i=i+1; // u can simply use i++ also } myspaces.append("*\n"); hows this for u?
  4. u want vertical spaces...thts very simple....just use the following modification to my code: myspaces.append("\n"); put this inside the loop and it should work fine. do lemme know if it worked and my offer for emailin me, or msn'ing me still stands cya
  5. hey man. im still not 100% clear on ur problem. but if im gettin it correctly then the following small program that i cooked up for u shud help. basically all this does is ask the user the number of spaces they want to print, and then prints tht many spaces in between some text. u can tweak it to ur suitability. however, if this ISNT wt u were looking for, then pls add me on msn, dtmunir@msn.com and maybe i can understand ur requirements better. cheers danish
  6. hmm...gamehead i can definitely help u with C++, but im not sure i get wt ure requirements are....im guessing ur making a simple loop program that will terminate, when the condition i<spaces has been exceeded. well for this u need 2 things: first of all u need to define spaces, and give it some value, somewhere in ur program, either via user input, or by assigning it some constant value at the start of the program. second, i dont see the point of the loop, unless the loop is giving some output relating to the number of times it has been run. maybe u shud try putting a " cout << i; " inside the loop. however if u post ur requirements for the program clearly, ill write the entire code for u. no fret. cya dm
  7. hey man. i checked out the website and what they are claiming is pretty cool? can u tell me what the real life performance improvement from this software is? and is there any way i can measure the before/after effects of this program? thx danish
  8. many thx gameboy, for ur fast reply. cheers!! danish ps: if someone does figure out a way to hack their servers DO lemme know pls [ I doubt anyone would do that on here because it's against the rules... ]
  9. hey guys! this one is urgent. i have sent a business email from my hotmail account to a supplier who has an email address registered with their own domain service (the comapny is NACS in hong kong, and the email address is something@nacs.com). unfortunately, i have made a BIG mistake in tht email which i sent out in a hurry. now i know that due to the time difference b/w hong kong and pakistan, my emial is probably still unread, as it wud hav been received after office hours. what i need to know, is there ANY way possible ro recover, or recall, or delete tht email, so tht my supplier can not read it. i repeat, i hv sent it directly using my hotmail account, and to make matters worse i didnt even click on save a copy in my sent folder. however i did BCC it to myself (dont ask why, my dad and i share this work account, and hes so non-techy he cant handle the concept of a 'sent' folder, so for him all msgs must be BCC'd to the same address so he can keep track) thanks a mil danish
  10. im having a similar problem like rave, except not with the links. i dont remove the links. but a LOT of the registry entries i apply in cmdlines.txt which DEFINITELY worked when i had only SP1a slipstreamed, are now not working with SP2. one which i remember off the top of my head is the winzip registration entries. lots of others too. anyone had a similar problem? danish
  11. wow. i didnt know that live and learn as they say
  12. woah! stupid me. being intimidated by a large download file i hav broadband...when ami gonna learn thx downloaded started...
  13. hmmmm noob quesion: can this be somehow used in unattend installation? if yes, then at wat stage must it be run? and how? cheers
  14. try using nuhi's nlite tool. it reduces the xp source by removing all the components u want. i believe that u should be able to come down to a very good 400-500 mb at least, if not less. nlite is in the forums under unattend windows\ member contributed projects danish
  15. aaaah..finally a question up my alley. i can definitely help u with this one. but first ill ask u 2 questions of my own: 1. do u use edit pad pro, or the lite one? cuz i use lite and its free so basically for me theres no registration. 2. do u use notepad any longer? cuz i dont. and basically wt i hav done is replace notepad entirely in windows. this makes installating editpad lite a BREEZE in unattend. this is how i do it a) take the 2 files editpadpro.hlp and editpad pro.cnt and place them in ur $OEM$\$$\System32\ folder. this will copy these files into the windows\system32 folder take the editpadlite exe file (dont remember wat its called any more, but shudbt be hard to spot) and rename it to notepad.exe. now use the modifype utility on it in the following format from a command prompy: modifype -c notepad.exe (u shud be able to find the modifype.exe file by searching the forum. otherwise pm me, ill give it to u) c) use the makecab utility to compess ur new notepad.exe by using the following syntax: makecab.exe notepad.exe d) replace the file notepad.ex_ in ur i386 folder with the one u just created. e) export ur current editpad lite settings into a registry file. make sure u change all the relevant paths from c:\program files\blah blah blah to c:\windows\system32 f) just apply this reg file at cmdlines or any other stage u choose. ur done i know this may sound complicated, so this is how u can make ur life much simpler email me at dtmunir@gmail.com and ill mail u all the files modified as required. all u need to do is place them in the correct folders and u'll hv ur unattend edit pad lite isntallation ready
  16. this is how ive replaced editpadlite (another cool notepad replacement, and free, and very very very lite on resources, tabbed documents blah blah blah. www.editpadlite.com) in my unattend installation. 1. simply install editpadlite in ur current windows installation 2. Locate the file editpadlite.exe and rename it to notepad.exe 3. compress it using the makecab feature so that it becomes notepad.ex_ 4. replace the notepad.ex_ in ur i386 installation folder with this file 5. if u want to apply ur customised settins by default, export the edit pad lite settings from the registry, and just run the reg file at cmdlines.txt hope this works for ur notepad2 as well danish

    Call for troops!

    wow....welcome back wraith!! I'm all for this NEW Xplode! I think you've been using VC to code, so i dont think i'll be of much help as all im good at is Vb. But if u do want documentation done, then I'm ur man. Count me in! danish
  20. chris, i think u shud try doing this on a fresh installation of windows. and buckeye, you need to add in bold on the first page of this post that your program ONLY works on a fresh windows installation, so that everyone gets it, and no one misses it
  21. hey i just started using firefox, and i must say that i am simply OVERWHELMED by the huge amount of dialog boxes that i hv to click on ok for the first time. I mean simply logging into hotmail, checking my mail and logging out requires no less than 4 'OK's. while i appreciate the security concern here, i must say it is quite tedious. So what im wondering is if anyone has found a simple way to make all these 'first time' security dialogs disapper, as well as applyinh the numerous setting changes and plugin installations, and extension installations that are required to make firefox actually usable, into the unattend process. Also im assuming that if these settings are applied via the registry then it would be sufficient to put them in cmdlines.txt to ensure they are applied across all users ever created. If not, then pls advise me of some other method of making sure all users can have these settings by default in fire fox thanks a lot for any help danish
  22. ok its like this. ive been reading other stuff on this forum and others and have come to the conclusion that the hardware being sold by intel, seagate, samsung, kingston and all the other major vendors is of sub standard quality, primarily because they face little or no competitoon (here AMD has JUST started making a presence, and Apple isnt even heard of. same goes for the hard disk market, no western digital or ANYTHIGN else, only seagate) I have the following specs, and comparing my performance in terms of boot time, disk access time, and other wise to people with similar configurations i find that there must be something TERRIBLY wrong with my hardware. my specs: -Intel P4 2.4 Ghz 533 Bus processor -Asus P4p800 deluxe mboard (with all drivers on m/board cd installed except for the Application Accelarator for Raid which refuses to install ony my pc, but which i dont think matters because i dont HAVE raid) - 512 PC3200 ( i think ) 333Mhz (definite) bus Samsung Ram - a 40 GB Seagate 7200 Rpm drive. (model: st340016A) my performace tests: -xp pro boot time on a CLEAN installation: roughly 30 seconds from the time i press the power button - xp pro boot time after installing all the usual apps (believe me i hv nothing facy tht stays in the memory and eats resources, or hardly any start up apps), and after 1 month of using: roughly 50-60 seconds - file copy: from 1 partition to another, a 700 mb .avi file: ALMOST 4 minutes!!!! I tried replacing my drive from my brothers pc which also has a 40 Gb but 5400 RPM drive (thinkin tht maybe mine was going bust) and the time taken was still almost same, just a lil more. I also know tht i have experience such performance for ever, and it is nothing new. its just tht now ive come to realise tht other ppl with similar specs experience much better performance. i dont understand this problems esp considerin tht i pay just as much for my hardware as most ppl in the US/Europe. talk abt discrimination (just kiddin... danish
  23. 8 seconds??????????? HOWWW?? thts just insane....i hv almost FOUR MINUTES!!! :'( i lead a pathetic and SAD life i should be SHOT btw...i dont hv intel application accelarator installed. but do u really think tht can make such a difference.. im going to install it right now and see if it does!!
  24. ok..heres the info: hd: seagate 40 Gb 7200 rpm (ST340016A) os: win xp pro hddisk master on primary cable cd rom slave + cd writer master on secondary cable dont know whether its 80 pin or 40 pin? how can u tell. doesnt say anythin on the cable itself its the Asus p4p800 deluxe mboard, and uses an intel chipset (i hope ) how do i check dma- enabled. i checked my primary IDE channel in device manager, it has dma mode on auto select, and current mode says Multi word DMA mode 2. thx a lot danish ps: love ur signature, even though im a pro-microsoft guy, its really witty,
