Sure, if you have money.

Alright, I figure I'll nLite the hell out of it and remove practically everything it doesn't need to run. What are the chances it won't run after I hack it though? This old CD drive won't read CDRWs. >_<

Well I'll keep that in mind, but I don't have 2000 at the moment...

I have no experience with Linux, doubt I could get anything working. 98 does work but I just don't like it that much.

Heh, if I had money to spend on RAM I'd be putting it in this computer.

I do have 98SE but it's quite a pain to get it networked to this computer running XP. I also had intended to use it as a sort of 'test machine' for XP-related things. As for RAM, I could borrow some from this computer to bring it up to 64MB during install, then back down to 32. I imagine nLite could get it running on 32MB.

I'm wondering if I can install XP Pro and get decent speeds without blowing up this old computer: 233mhz P1 CPU 32MB RAM 4GB hard disk Some sort of CD-ROM, dunno what it is but it reads CDs I don't intend to do much with it. Basically I'm just going to install PHP on it and use it as a server on my LAN (not online) to test stuff, so I'll probably get rid of all the unimportant stuff like Media Player and such. Just a barebones XP system, sitting in a corner, executing PHP scripts and being controlled with VNC. Think it could handle it? Any tips on making it 'lighter' so it won't be uber-slow?

That's not warning about a virus, it's just saying you shouldn't open random programs. Not sure how to get rid of it, but you may as well leave it. It's a good 'safety net' if you should accidentally click a link. (Even if it's not a virus, it can be annoying to accidentally launch some random program.)

do "echo %path%" and post what it says. If C:\Windows and C:\Windows\System32 (or whatever your Windows dir is) isn't in there, you have a problem.

What might be doing that? Also does she have dialup? The time sync keeps failing:

Lmao. 1) I've seen plenty of programs that claimed they were tested by government super-hackers, completely unhackable, etc. All beatable by a simple boot disk. Unless your program can prevent that, it's useless. Every security system has a flaw. 2) The screenshot looks like a joke. Something so powerful, and you don't bother to make it look at all proffessional? Not even an XP manifest that takes about 4 seconds to add? 3) You don't seem very proffessional yourself. Someone who worked on such a great project should be able to spell. 4) Suppose someone pulls a network cable and the program can't contact the admin console? What then?

I think you need stdio or stdlib for system(). Also try including common programming keywords. Throwing in 'void' or 'unsigned' might help to locate chunks of code people have posted. And of course the ever-useful quotes to find specific strings. You can do something like "int x = y + 2" (with quotes) and it will only find that specific string rather than searching for each character and removing the + sign.

If I'm not mistaken you can just use hex codes. The board simply drops the colour you give it into a font tag. So you can do like FF0000. Also there are a lot of words that seem to be proper colours, but are really just being used as hex codes (any non-hex characters get changed to 0). Like FAILED is the same as FA00ED. [edit] Ah, apparently it uses a span with some CSS. Non-hex numbers don't seem to work though. (FAILED just comes out black.)

I hope you die.

I thought this sounded a bit too good to be true. If anyone can fill both partitions and verify that the files aren't corrupt afterward, I might try it.

If you want to cut down on resources there's always cmd.exe! Seriously though, you should be able to import the shells from Win95/Win98.

I've done it once, but I'm not entirely sure how. I think it involved renaming the actual folders. I couldn't find a way to declare an existing folder as one of these, only by renaming and moving the default ones.

I had one blow for no apparent reason, luckily it wasn't actually in a computer. I was using it as a 12-volt power supply for electronics, and when I went to turn it on (nothing connected) it just went ZAP.

Nice. I await the day when computers are powerful enough for everything to be done with something like this. The heck with chat rooms, you could actually go sit in a virtual room that's 100% realistic and looks like whatever you want! Go chat on the moon!

Hehe. Nice trick with deleting ntldr. One thing nobody's mentioned though: Run 'shutdown -r -t 60'. Now run 'shutdown -a'. Your computer doesn't shut down!

Yes, Hibernate is nice. It takes me a whopping 4 seconds to start up. I really like the sound of this though. I don't think I'd want to have my OS installed on it if it's going to get wiped out every 12-hour power failure, but it would make a great RAM disk. (Literally! )

I've run into this problem with two different programs now. Say I do something like this: fp = fopen("file.ini","rt"); When I'm testing the program in the path E:\DOS\MinGW\bin, it works fine. But if I copy it to another path, such as E:\Windows\System32, it's no longer able to find the file. This shouldn't be a problem as I'm using relative paths (the file should be in the same directory as the program) and even have a copy of the file in \bin where it worked before, but it never seems to work. Off topic I don't suppose anyone knows of replacements for the language bar or how I could change the IME mode through code? XP's default language bar is way buggy and makes it a bit of a pain to type in Japanese.

You know how when you use Hibernate, Windows shuts down the system... I'd like to know if there's a way to make it reboot instead of actually shutting the power off. I often go into Hibernate mode when I want to boot Linux, and it's annoying having to turn the system back on after doing so (and probably not too good for it).

Huh, I never noticed that... I just use Ctrl+A.

Basically just this: HTML: <table class="navbar" width=90%><tr> <td><a href="main.php">Home</a></td> CSS: table.navbar { text-align: center; border-collapse: collapse; } .navbar td { border: 4px #204080 ridge; } .navbar a { display: block; text-decoration: none; }
