  2. What'd you expect, 0%? I mean, it's doing something, so I wouldn't mind if the CPU usage went up as it was checking. If it stays at 100% and slows down the system afterwards, then it's a problem.
  3. I have it, it's not bad. Like FlashGet but more features and less speed.
  4. IE 6 SP1. Yes, restarting the browser and clearing the cache was one of the first things I did.Now it crashes (Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close, etc. etc.) whenever I let the reply page load completely. I have to press Stop button immediately after this reply box loads to be able to post anything at all. This is an upgrade?
  5. O RLY? Look again.Hint: The rundll32 entry with the random DLL name.
  6. My system has 7 fans and the noise is around 60dB, I don't mind though. Any noise level that's low enough to not cause permanent hearing damage is fine by me.
  7. Now you know why a generic $60 MP3 player is better than an iPod - drag and drop, and it's done. Meanwhile, consumers are attracted to Apple because of their extensive advertising campaigns Edit: Here is someone who has just gotten into the same situation as you.
  8. Just find the URL and download it with your browser or a download manager. I assume it's streamed via standard HTTP?
  9. Three words: do not want. See image. That may happen when not all page objects were loaded. It just happened to me minutes ago, but it got fixed by itself seconds later, while the browser's statusbar showed there were a few more objects to load (smileys, etc). I'm using SlimBrowser as front-end to IE6 SP1 on Win98SE. Remember to post what browser are you using. Also prior to posting your problem, clear you cache and restart your browser.
  10. ...now that's an esoteric environment. The training course is provided for a reason.
  11. Hex editor. Extract the bitmap to a separate file, edit and save, then copy+paste back into the original file.
  12. I just tape a regular finned aluminum heatsink along with some thermal compound to the top cover of the HDD. There's an 80mm fan in the front of the case that blows past this.
  13. Hmm... x-in-1 (DOS 3.3/4/5/6/7, Windows 1.x,2.x,3.x,95,98se,ME,2000,XP,Vista) Blu-Ray install disk?
  14. Hmm. Something like http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/...n/MS04-028.mspx (doesn't affect 9x ) but on a smaller scale?
  15. You don't need iTunes. Use Windows Explorer to copy the files over if you must.

    hello and help

    No, only if you're one of Gate's slaves.I'm still using the XP original release. No problems. You can try changing the version number, it's in the registry somewhere.
  17. What sort of streaming format, exactly? An audio recorder does work, but with specific stream-capture utility the exact streamed file can be saved.
  18. Actually, the author isn't some random person. http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001/ But I'll say this again as I've said it many times... Anything they come up with, there will always be a way around it.
  19. Load in high/extended memory via himem.sys and emm386.exe.
  20. It must be said that intermittent hardware glitches will also hang the OS, and should be disregarded for the purposes of this test since it has nothing to do with the software. What I'm saying is that the 5.5 files are correct while the 6.x ones contain a bug. I just prefer 4-digit groupings. Just ignore the commas if it seems odd. Why I suggest such a high number of files, and also files with content in them (1 byte, but nonetheless content) is because testing in more extreme situations guarantees correct operation in normal usage. I find 2500 to be a bit low, since I have several directories containing 4000+ image files (total number of files on one of my HDDs approximately 25,0000). A more realistic limit would be 1,0000.This post will be edited to display the results of 65535 files test. Edit: The limit is actually 65533, since entry 65535 is the highest and two are taken by . and .. already (unless working in the root directory, although I didn't want to add 64 thousand files to the root of any of my existing drives). This limit is further lowered by long filenames, which take up their own directory entry. "So, what's the result of the test?" Explorer handled up to ~32K files with no noticeable delay, but beyond that point refreshes became gradually slower and slower - the final refresh, to show the full 65533 files, took almost a full minute. However, the OS remained fully functional throughout. I copied the files to another directory, which took approximately 20 minutes. Once again the refresh at the end took nearly a minute to complete. I then deleted the files in the original directory - here is where the first bug occurred - selecting all the files and pressing the Delete button caused explorer to IPF somewhere in the kernel32. Gradually lowering the number of files confirmed that this may have to do with the file count being considered as negative, as it worked fine with deleting ~32000 files at once. Thus I deleted in two chunks, and proceeded to copy the other set of files back - once again, no problems. Deleting again this set in two chunks also free of any problems. So, it seems to work.
  21. I'm still very shocked at how this "update" of Win98SE now takes up more space than XP SP1.
