Hi, if you want to wrap a windows executable around your java application you have to do the following things in your native Application loader: 1.) Make sure java is installed 2.) Execute your classes or jar file with the "javaw.exe" through the exec Function (execve, execvp, ... whatever suits your needs best) Bye, Egon

Hi, for what do you need this kind of tuning? - windows has a excellent memory managemer inside it's kernel, so mostly you don't need to tweak anything in it. Egon

Hi, I've written a Excel VBA Application which should peridicly send a Mail using Outlook. Anytime the mail should be sent a Popup Window occurs which asks you if you want to allow the sending. Does anyone know how to prevent this and let my VBA Application send the Mail without confirmation? Thanks, Egon

Hi, do you intend to use a standalone VB application to modify a excel file or do you want to use vba? If you are using a VB Standalone Application does the System on which it runs has Excel installed? If so, you can use a OLE Connection to remote control excel to do what you want. A few months ago i've written such a thing but i have to look for it - i will then post a example what i've done. Egon

Hi, what in detail do you wann'a know? General Implementation Details? How to implement it in your case? If you know how to set up Apache/MySQL/PHP with virtual hosting you should have no problem in setting up IIS/MsSQL/ASP because like most other MS Software, it's nearly self explaning on how to set up it. If you want to master the full details of IIS i can recommend you the following two books: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/073...3277952-9423857 http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detai...g=UTF8&v=glance Egon

Hi, your problem is probably that WinMX listens on those ports - and checks if these ports are available from the internet. Because your Brother's PC is directly connected to the Internet, on his PC these ports are accessable from the outside (if no fw blocks them). If i understand right you connect through his PC using the Windows Internet Sharing which is a NAT Router. So WinMX on you PC opens these ports but they are not accessable from the internet because you are behind the NAT Router (your Brother's PC). Bye, Egon

Hi, personally i handle keeping old mails using a .PST Outlook Archive File. About every 3 to 4 Months i move the Mails from the Exchange Server to this file - which has now grown to about 3 Gigs and contains at least 100.000 Mails. No problems with this setup for a few years. Egon

Hi, just for your information: The german Heise Publishing company today had an article about an Error in the Win2k SRP - which disables the HALT Mode of the CPU. Tests shown that after installing the SRP the System Power consumtion increases from 110 to 160 Watts when running normal office applications. So if someone of you encounters problem with the cooling of the system after applying the SRP, thats why. http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/61584 Bye, Egon

Hi, which DLL Version do you have? My System which is Win2k-SP4 has Version 6.0.8972.0 and runs WinAmp5 fine. Egon

Hi, i've gotten rid of the problem, setting back my local security settings to something more standard than the settings i previously used. Below are my current settings, maybe they are helpful for you (if your problem occurs from the same source as mine was). Egon

Hi, i vote for tar and bz2 in combination, because of: *) It's Free and Open-Source *) It compresses relativley good *) You can create archives fully compatible with most unix systems Egon

Hi, if you prefer to use the command line: find /n "pattern" *.txt will show you every line in which "pattern" occurs in all .txt files. Egon

Hi, i had the same problem when i installed SP2 first. Turned out that i had enabled some restrictions in the Local Security Settings - but unfortunately never really found out which setting was responsible for that behavior. Setting back the Local Security Settings to defaults (took a look at another fresh installed machine) solved the problem for me. Egon

Hi, sounds like you have enabled the numpad on your ThinkPads Keyboard. Normally you can enable/disable this behavior by pressing Fn-Num or a similar key combination. check your manual on how to do this on your model. Do you have any special applications running when logging in with the user who has this problem? I have the same problem for example when starting the NetOp Remote Access Software on my laptop. Bye, Egon

Hi, Try the following: Connect to the ipc$ share with admin rights, then try to run your shutdown command again. If this doesn't work check the following settings: 1. Is the remote Computer Windows XP and has Firewall enabled? 2. Is Remote Shutdown restricted in the Local Security Settings? (User Rights Assignment->Force shutdown from a remote System) Bye, Egon

Hi, do you have Virus Protection enabled in your BIOS? When this option is activated your MBR cannot overwritten. (The Item should be listed as "Enable Virus Protection" in your BIOS) Bye, Egon

Hi, if you are able to do, please repost your message in english, maybe you then will get attention of more people in solving your problem. Egon

Hi, under Windows, VMWare installs like most other Applications without any hassles. Just walk through the Installer, start VMware and use it. No need to tweak any things in order to get it running. (Under XP and VMWare5 not even a restart of your machine is required) Bye, Egon

Hi, found one possible solution. The default stack size of a Thread is 1MB. Therefore you can only create about ~2000 Threads per Process due to the 2 GB Limit per Process on 32 Bit Windows. But if you know that your Threads never will need a Stack of 1 MB you can decrease the size when creating a new one with the CreateThread Win32 API Function. If you for example use a stack size of 0.5 MB you can have about 4000 Threads and so on ... Egon

Hi, Use a tool like Expect (http://bmrc.berkeley.edu/people/chaffee/expectnt.html) to automate console applications. Bye, Egon

Hi, please check the following BIOS Settings: Update Configuration Data Plug and Play OS ... and post your settings. Bye, Egon

Hi, do you have all the Machines connected to a large single switch or what topology do you have? Bye, Egon

Hi, recently i have discovered a situation which is to my knowledge not possible. In 32 Bit Windows there exists a limit of about 2000 Threads per Process due to the fact that every thread reserves 1MB Stack Space. Take a look at the screenshot attached. There is a single Java Process which has over 2500 Threads! How is this possible? The machine is a standard Win2k Advanced Server. Any ideas? Egon

Hi, if you need PATA Raid, i would recommend you to grab a Adaptec 2400. It's a reliable thing, has cache on board and support's all common raid levels. Bye, Egon

Hi, this sounds like you still have a problem with your ram. Windows Setup often does not complete if your ram has errors, because of a wrong checksum of the written files. Try to download memtest86 and check if your ram's ok. Egon
