Hi, the Driver of your Graphics Card has to support the wanted OpenGL Version. Most of the current Graphics Card out today support at leat OpenGL 1.3, some Vendors (like NVidia beginning with their 75 series drivers) support 2.0 You don't have to download a seperate opengl32.dll, Microsoft supplies it with the OS - the DLL itself supplies you with the needed API Functions and maps the functions to the Functionality provided by your Driver. Bye, Egon

Hi, just read through http://unattended.msfn.org - it's a tutorial on how to create a unattended cd for windows XP (most of the methods described are the same for windows 2000) Egon

Hi, your problem probably has something to do with an application attaching to the COM1 Port. Use "Process Explorer" (www.sysinternals.com) to enumerate which application is using the port: Find->Find Handle then Enter: "\Device\Serial0" and you will see the application which has COM1 opened. Bye, Egon

MS will charge you license costs if you connect with your PC's to a Samba Fileserver? I think this is a urban legend.... Windows Servers are licensed either for a fixed number of connections or per seat (pc). If you use Samba as a Fileserver for your network you have no additional cost expect maybe for the Linux Distribution you are using. Bye, Egon

Hi, Why should it be bad? I think it seems ok, it's DDR400 and has a CAS Latency of 2.5ns. They didn't wrote which chip manufacter built the RAM chips inside, but thats probably not of interest for you. Egon

Because of two reasons: 1.) Bash Scripting is far more powerful then Windows Batch Scripting. 2.) You can reuse the Scripts if you ever will need them in a Unix-Like Environment 3.) I don't know Windows Batch Scripting at the level to accomplish the wanted task B) Delprat, it seems that you are very deep into Windows Batch Scripting, maybe you should consider writing a tutorial on it. I think many people (including me), probably don't know for example that it's possible to do arithmetic operating or condition based FOR Loops in Windows Batch. @lazaross: Yes you can use Notepad or any other Texteditor of you choice for creating the .cmd files. They are plain text files saved with .cmd or .bat extension. Egon

Hi, 1.) Find out how these pictures are named. In your example they have a URL like the one below: http://www.thewallpapers.org/celebrities/u...Thurman-042.jpg 2.) find out the first and the last image (in this case the first picture is 001 and the last 042). 3.) Use a advanced scripting language like "bash" (available from www.cygwin.com including all the necessary tools) to write a program with a loop to retrieve the images using the wget program (hint: while loop, seq tool, wget tool) This way you can write your own simple webcrawlers for retrieving a huge amount of pictures from websites where they normally want you to click through each image. Egon

Hi, i think he's trying to follow the example covered in the document below: http://www.totse.com/en/hack/introduction_...helo173140.html Haven't tested this myself, so i don't know if it works. Egon

Hi, thanks for this information! Egon

Hi, when you have verbosestatus enabled, after you login in there is a window centered on the screen telling you whats going on (ie. Restoring Network connections for example) Or is your System hanging after this screen disappears? Egon

Hi, the code below prints out every permutation of a 2^n value (just adapt it to your needs, i've justed hacked this without much testing) #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <math.h> typedef struct binnum { int* pBinNum; int nCount; }binnum; int DecToBin( int nNum, binnum* pBinVal ); int main( int argc, char* argv[] ) { int nNumTruth, nUpperLimit, nRun, nCurNum; binnum* pBinVal = NULL; pBinVal = ( binnum*) malloc( sizeof( binnum )); pBinVal->pBinNum = ( int* ) malloc( sizeof( int ) * 100 ); if( argc != 2 ) { fprintf( stderr, "%s: give a num as option!\n", argv[0] ); exit( -1 ); } else { nNumTruth = atoi( argv[1] ); } nUpperLimit = ( int ) pow(( int ) 2, ( int ) nNumTruth ); for( nCurNum = 0; nCurNum < nUpperLimit; nCurNum ++ ) { DecToBin( nCurNum, pBinVal ); for( nRun = 0; nRun < pBinVal->nCount; nRun ++ ) { fprintf( stdout, "%d", pBinVal->pBinNum[nRun] ); } fprintf( stdout, "\n" ); } return 0; } int DecToBin( int nNum, binnum* pBinVal ) { int nTemp = nNum, nMod = 0, nIndex = 0, nCountIndex = 0; int nArray[100]; while( nTemp >= 1 ) { nMod = ( nTemp % 2 ); nTemp = nTemp / 2; nArray[nIndex] = nMod; nIndex ++; } pBinVal->nCount = nIndex; for( nIndex--; nIndex >= 0; nIndex -- ) { pBinVal->pBinNum[nCountIndex] = nArray[nIndex]; nCountIndex ++; } return 0; } Hope that helps, Egon

Hi, just insert the following Registry Key to look what your system is doing while it appears to be doing nothing (wow, what a sentence!): HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\system add the DWORD Value "verbosestatus" with Value 1 I had a similar problem lately and discovered that my system was trying to reestablish a connection to a not available network drive. Bye, Egon

Hi, just this moment i encountered a Problem when deleting a File out of a Tree which is generated when saving a Webpage with Firefox in "WebPage, complete" Mode. It's so strange i even dont believe what i see here. When you save a Webpage with Firefox it generates a File with the Html Code and a folder xxxxx_files which contain the images, js files, ... - now try to delete the html file: The Folder is removed too! Just try it yourself and be surprised (I use FireFox 1.0.3 on Windows XP SP2) Ok, first i thought maybe there are streams associated with the File - which could produce this strange behavior - bot no, there aren't any streams. Below is a series of screens describing visually what happens: Saved www.google.com to a local Folder No Streams are associated with the File Marked the HTML file and deleted it => No files anymore in the Folder Any ideas whats going wrong here? Tried this on a few of my machines - each shows the same behavior. Egon

hi, Thanks for your answers! hm... i have the same settings on both sides, the server and my client. But i found out when i press Ctrl-AltGr-Backslash it works... Egon

ISDN Rocks ! ^^ No just a joke but i live outside the city and there is no DSL or Cable available - only my good old ISDN Dial-Up Flatrate (64Kbit/sec). Egon

Hi, does anyone has an idea whats wrong when the backslash key is not working when connected through remote desktop? Client: Windows XP, English, German Keymap Server: Windows 2003 Bye, Egon

Hi, just if someone is interested in, i've written a short documentation on how to install windows 2003 enterprise edition on a HP RX2600 Itanium machine. Bye, Egon windows_itanium.pdf

Hi, it's common for people to take up all available space, no matter how big the harddisk is. Until a few months ago i had a 40 GB Harddisk in my primary computer and distributed all the necessary stuff across different machines (Music, Videos, Pictures, etc..) - now i have a 120GB Disk and everything formerly on other machines is stored on my primary machine. You also change you mind when you have a lot of space in sense of what you leave on your harddrive and what not. In former times i installed a game, played it, and when it was not interesting anymore i removed it from the disk. now i install a game, play it and leave it on the disk. And you also have to remember that applications and games grow in size very quickly. lets take a example: Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0: 3 CD's given a total installed size of about 1gig. Microsoft Visual Studio 2003: 5 CD's given a total installed size of about 4gig. and this is just a example of one application. I remember a few years (ok, many years) ago my primary development workstation had 2gb disc installed and i almost worked in the same way as now. But that's time. Things changing. And a 120gig discs costs now the same as a 20gig disc 3 years ago when it was state of the art. bye, Egon

Hi, Vector Icons are Graphics which are not Pixel based like the current one's they are based on the definition of points which are connected through a line (simple spoken). You can scale a vector based image to as small and as big as you want because it's rendered new every time you see it. Bye, Egon

hi, It's not a problem of .NET it's a entire problem of a computer system that everyone who want's to know how a application works on the sourcelevel can discover this. even if you write native code using c/c++ you always have the option of using a disassembler and read the asm source. msil is also a kind of assembler language so it makes no difference. ok with ildasm you can also see what classes a program has defined but.... who cares. Egon

Hi, use a "" to esape a double-quote: echo minutes "0" | find /n "minutes ""0" matches. Bye, Egon

Hi, i am using a Philips Brilliance 190P Screen for work. It has a very good contrast (700:1) and light intensity (300 Lumen) - and for me very important, only a 1280x1024 Resolution Unfortunately they are not as good for playing as some other models (because of 16 ms refresh time) Egon

Hi, First of all you should determine if you have a firewall other than the microsoft xpsp2 supplied one installed. Some of these so called "Personal Firewalls" can block internet access on a per process basis for incoming and outgoing traffic. If you have one of those installed check if the firefox.exe is on the whitelist. If you don't have, XPSP2 is not your problem because it just restricts applications from listening on a specific port - outgoing traffic is not filtered. When the above does not solve you problem, check the following: Is a Proxy enabled in Firefox (Tools->Options->General->Connection Settings)? If so, disable them if you don't need them. If you need a Proxy to get internet access check that it is entered in correctly (copy and paste the settings from internet explorer) Bye, Egon

Hi, today a colleague from me came across with a PC which he upgraded from a "old" P4 2.4Ghz to a new one with 3.0Ghz using a new bought Asus P4P800SE and a new CPU. But there is a little problem: Every time the system starts up a BIOS Message appears: "New CPU installed, press F1 to enter BIOS or F2 to reset settings to default". When pressing F1, changing all entries to proper settings, saving and exiting the same message appears again. First i thought maybe the CR2032 Battery on the MoBo is defective so i changed them to a new one - problem is still here. Then i tried to replace the 3.0Ghz CPU with a 2.4Ghz Model for testing purpose - same problem. I think the MoBo is defective, but he's not willing to accept this answer.... Any ideas what else this problem could be? Thanks, Egon

Hi, just if someone is interested in, below a list of a few good papers describing how the memory manager in windows (and other os'es) work: http://www.i.u-tokyo.ac.jp/ss/lecture/new-...rtualMemory.pdf http://www.weblearn.hs-bremen.de/risse/RST.../comparison.pdf Egon
