i could be wrong here but event 4226 is generated when the OS tries to make to many OUTGOING connections but your connections are all incoming. im not sure if a 4226 event would be generated for an over maximum of incoming connections (if it does then an attacker could flood a windows machine and bloat the logs) its just a theory but the tcpip.sys hack might still be worth a shot. It's only for outgoing connections. Really, I don't think this will be useful. Maybe have a look at TCPView : http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinte...s/bb897437.aspx You shouldn't have a lot of connections listed there according to what you described. If you have a lot, this will be the sign of the problem. Run it at the server boot and watch whether the list grows or not (you may as well run it at any time).

The registry edit part has no effect now. As for the other part, there are patchers available. However you should definitely open up the event log viewer and check whether there are event 4662 occurences ; if not, there is no need to patch (and considering you only have a few clients, I guess you won't really have a lot of them). Also, are you using windows's file share, i.e. the network places one ? And is vista updated with SP1 ? While I'm not using vista, I know SP0 doesn't deal so well with file transfers.

Found it again : http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?s=&amp...st&p=703278 NB : when I speak about minimal memory usages, I mean "minimal memory usages if you intend it to be usable on a different computer" (you can save space by removing bluetooth but it will be an incompatibility for someone else).

Is it http://www.msfn.org/board/I-can-t-get-XP-t...AM-t116422.html ? Btw, I've taken a look at some (now old) screenshots and in a virtual machine, having nod32, vmware tools (including the tray application) and drivers installed with driverpacks adds about 35MB of memory usage. Non-virtual machine drivers add even more (so much that if you claim a certain memory usage, you have to specify whether it is virtual machine or not).

Drivers change memory usage a lot. For instance, in vmware, vmware tools increase memory usage by 5 to 10MB (not the tools, only the drivers). Nvidia drivers on real install, by as much as 20MB (and probably even more now). And so on. 19 MBs is unachievable (practically) except if you deal with RAM usage and not memory usage, i.e. you use swap.

Find and replace calc.exe. It's most straightforward way. Don't forget to backup calc.exe first. (if the original calc.exe doesn't want to go away, it is likely to be protected by windows' sfc but I doubt it is)

In fact we don't know. We assume it's the same but we do not know ; nobody has ever made any study. Services are often small things on the hard drive and live in svchost.exe which you can live without. My reasons in removing services rather than disabling them are when they are removed, they can be reactivated (had some programs that change the startup mode of services on their own) and it makes a smaller and thus more readable list of services (and because I was angry at some components ;p ). I have to say I experimented a lot before removing a lot of services. Always disable a service in a real installation before removing it completely.

Basically my usual password is as secure as this one but I'm about to strengthen it again.

nLite and XPize are probably C# .Net. I'm sure they use .net but not they are coded in C# though. .Net main's advantage is use of creating graphical interfaces under windows but it requires .net framework. Btw, long live F#.

Benchmarking linux memory usage is not really harder because it allocates memory differently. It's rather because you can recompile the kernel with the options you want. A personnaly configured kernel uses 15MB I think. A distribution one is much bigger though linux kernels don't need to be monolithic thanks to modules. Btw, the bad thing I had noticed in windows about resource usage is having a peripheral installed used some of them and therefore plugging your mouse in all your usb ports (which makes/made windows install the peripheral on each one) made the resource usage grow. It was a few years ago when computers had much less ram, now you wouldn't notice it. I thought of that issue as peripheral handling is linux (i.e. a module which can be (un)loaded at any time) is just much sexier than the windows way. However I guess it can only be done when you have the sources of the kernel or at least some headers and definitions.

I'm still using 80-columns.

Yeah baby, that's a score of 89 out of 100 in acid3. And the rendering engine can reach 91 out of 100 but I didn't activate the corresponding features. WebKit started at 39/100 but three days after acid3 had been officially released, it scored at 90/100 ! http://webkit.org/blog/158/the-acid-3-test/ I've long searched for a light and working browser under linux. Under windows I would use kmeleon or an ie-based browser, usually maxthon. Under Linux I love Konqueror which is not really resource-intensive but wants kde which in turn is not especially light... So I've searched for a nice browser and found OWB (Orygin Web Browser) and gtk-webcore which had problems compiling. However soon after I discovered WebKit and it's gtk port. However WebKit is only the rendering engine, not a web browser. Of course somebody started to work on one : midori. The browser is still young and has some bugs but it's already working great.

It is absolutely nothing. Unless you are referring to some country legislation, you can't state anything. Consider this example : you've bought a CD (music, OS, anything), you forgot it near the window and the CD got damaged by the sun. What happens if you download a replacement copy ? In France, it has recently been declared illegal because all copyrighted download has been (before only sending data was illegal) and the interesting point is you will be directly fined, there will be no judgement and imho this is because a court would not rule you are guilty. It is also important to know that EULA (including some Microsoft's) are not applicable in some countries as they are against the law. If you want a definitive answer, you have to check three things : your country law, what is called "jurisprudence" here is France (previous rulings) and the software's EULAs. As such you have to know whether such downloads are legal or not. But I doubt anybody would bother you with this as unofficial SP downloads incur absolutely no loss to microsoft.

I guess it's more for some OSes.

Yes, iirc they use qemu's engine which supports really many platforms : http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/status.html But unlike qemu virtualbox's ui is much better.

Firefox is coded in javascript. Have you ever noticed how long can a piece of javascript take to display some thing a native program does immediately ? It's simply an interpreted language and it takes time. OK, I have to admit : firefox is not written in javascript but in javascript+xml (=xul). But when xml was introduced, speed was a concern for it too. Imagine the combination. Yes but it is really different. It doesn't use xul for its interface... yet : next major release will use xul too. Anyway, for performance, both for rendering quality and speed and resources, the best are imho kmeleon and khtml/webkit based browsers (I don't like Opera so I don't use it and therefore can't say anything about it). However I don't know whether they run well under win9x.

IIRC this is not possible at T-12.

If your example is real, you have a backware slash before the ending quote, right after the file extension. Also, you don't need the quotes. Here is an excerpt of my install.ini The quotes around %UniExtract% are needed because it can contain spaces and 7zip would have a problem (I use an ahk script to hide 7zip's command window).

You should really consider removing the spaces as it will solve your problem and make installation silent at the same time. I know this doesn't really answer the question but this is the most certain solution. I think I've encountered the same problem and fixed it or found its root but I don't remember and can't run wihu now.

I've never tried because I use a folder called "Apps" in $OEM$ (windows only looks for subfolders like $$) but you can try with "\.." which means "parent folder". For example, c:\windows\.. is c:\ and c:\windows\system32\.. is c:\windows. And I think you would then use "..\..\Install\foo\bar".

In fact there is no need for any external program as AutoIt which UniExtract is coded in gives this ability to the developper, natively.

In fact C&C might just as all crash because of C&C : it has problem when there are many units (game slows down to less than a tenth of its normal speed) and crashes if you use a super-weapon on a very populated area (which is you kill/damage too many units at once).

When it's ready. More seriously, we have to wait for the end of the month. And... both my laptop and desktop died. OK, not completely but my laptop has a fried graphic card (I can use it as long as I don't use the nvidia drivers but only the vesa/vga ones ; linux power ;p ) and the other one had a bad cpu which damaged the motherboard and I don't intend to have any business sell me defective cpus just like that. So it is not very practical. Anyway, I'll manage to do it for next week-end.

The thing that scares me most is 97% of the mails are spam !
