    Paging File

    No no and no. This is just wrong. Windows NEEDS a pagefile. Everything that you do in Windows requires the presence of a pagefile. Even when you've set things to "No pagefile", there still is temporary disk space reserved for Windows to page unused portions of memory to disk. Set it to no pagefile, pull out one of your sticks of RAM, and run a program that allocates a lot of RAM. You'll get out of memory, Windows will refuse to just create a pagefile if you've disabled it.
  2. As above, just encrypt your sensitive files. It's much easier.
  3. Or remove the Multimedia Audio Controller first, by right-click -> Remove.
  4. 266Mb at 1.1Mb/s, total time elapsed: 241 seconds.Depends on what connection you have. I sure many users here have more than 8Mbps connections.
  5. I have no idea where you got that information, but it's almost completely wrong. The fdisk/mbr command can be very dangerous when used in certain circumstances. It merely rewrites the bootloader code with with it has within fdisk.exe itself. ...and I'm also not aware of any hard drive that stores sector 0 in flash RAM. Most HDDs even store some of their firmware on the platters.http://mirror.href.com/thestarman/asm/mbr/FDISK.htm#MBR
  6. Tor? Proxifier?
  7. Couldn't you just use the DOS 7.1 IO.SYS (98se)?
  8. Just leave this forum, no-one is forcing you to stay here and use Win9x!!!
  9. Couldn't you just save the MBR somewhere else and restore it after installation?

    Paging File

    ...shouldn't it be the outer tracks are faster? Higher velocity + more sectors per track.If you do decide to use a pagefile, at least fix its size so that it won't be able to change size. Otherwise it might become fragmented when it changes size, and then performance decreases.
  11. ...why do you even need to write your own program? Just use the Windows Task Scheduler service. Looping infinitely is not a good solution in a multitasking OS environment. Better to use the sleep() system call to relinquish the CPU and allow the scheduler to switch to another process, rather than have your timing process waste CPU cycles until its timeslice is exhausted.
  12. Surprised you didn't catch this: F2 - REG:system.ini: UserInit=c:\windows\system32\userinit.exe Although userinit.exe is a legit process, it's suspicious to see it being loaded in system.ini - I know there are trojans that use this startup method in an attempt to hide from registry scans. Recommendation: Extract original USERINIT.EXE from XP CD and delete that entry.
  13. For VCD I think you can just copy the contents to a CD... ...and remember that you will *always* reduce the quality when you reencode, as the compression is lossy.
  14. If they banned you, why not just take your punishment and behave better next time? I'm sure you must have done something to deserve the bans. Because, he is above social law, or so he thinks. Here you go, EAT MY DUST, here's another tool to speed you on your journey towards false knowledge and, hopefully, a long prison sentence. Enjoy! CLICK ME FOR INSTANT GRATIFICATION ... Not for Win98!!!Take a look at what OSs it runs under, this is Win9x forum not XP forum.
  15. ...or you could just use the short 8.3 filename...

    Paging File

    If you have 2.5Gb of RAM I don't think you even need a pagefile. Try disabling it and see if you notice any performance improvements.
  17. I hate ClearType too. I actually get dizzy looking at it. The text looks multicolored. Small fonts should not be antialiased. That would make them even harder to read.
  18. ...cash??
  19. Win32 API Reference!!!!!!Google "Win32.hlp" and the file is ~10Mb.
  20. This is not a warez forum. Look somewhere else.
  21. Just get a file of random digits (e.g. http://www.math.sfu.ca/~cschwarz/Stat-301/...s/node119.html ) and choose a row of 12.
  22. Check what's running at startup. Probably the WPA reminder key was left there accidentally and not deleted as it should have been after a successful activation.
  23. The switch probably worn out.
  24. Get the Win32 API Reference. Most of it still applies to x64 coding.
