Here is my solution: (1/x^2)-(cotx)^2= 1/x^2 - (cos(x)/sin(x))^2 = 1/x^2- (cos(x)^2/sin(x)^2) = 1/x^2 - (1 -sin(x)^2)/sin(x)^2 cos(x)^2 +sin(x)^2 =1 =1/x^2 - (1/sin(x)^2 -1) = 1/x^2 - 1/sin(x)^2 +1 = (sin(x)^2 -x^2)/x^2 sin(x)^2 +1 with MacLaurin series for sin(x)= x-x^3/3! when x->0 =( (x-x^3/3!)^2-x^2)/(x^2(x-x^3/3!)^2)+1 =(x^2 -2x^4/3! +x^6/36 -x^2)/(x^2 (x(1-x^2/3!))^2) +1 =( -x^4/3+x^6/36)/(x^2*x^2(1-x^2/3!)^2) +1 =(x^4 (-1/3 +x^2/36))/(x^4 (1-x^2/6)^2) +1 =(-1/3 +x^2/36)/(1-x^2/6)^2 +1 And when x->0 this (-1/3 +x^2/36)/(1-x^2/6)^2 -> -1/3 So Lim x->0 of (1/x^2)-(cotx)^2= -1/3+1=2/3

Try to reinstall the graghics drivers (if you're unsure you have the lastest) and (re)install the monitor drivers.

@Zxian I may be wrong but i read some article like this: http://www.storagereview.com/guide2000/ref...specCycles.html And it explain clearly that drive have a maximum number of start/stop cycles. So increasing them will only reduce the hard drive life .

You can try to install Novell Netware client for XP. It might install the missing components. The other solution is to add netnwlnk.inf to your inf dir and then you'll need to add the the files needed when installing the .inf.

Turn off disk after XX Min should be disabled unless you want to reduce your hard drive life. Most drives can power on and off without fail for at least 1 years but they have a limited number of runnung hours and power off / power on.

To debug the error, does excel is launched when the scheduled task run and a normal user is logged on ? You can check in taskmanager.

If you manage the DHCP, you simply need to reserve all dhcp addresses to you registered users and for addresses that aren't needed, you simply need to reserve them to 0123456789ab for example (which most probably doesn't exist as a mac address).

Most NAS support NTFS formating and NTFS security. Some can even be made member of a domain.

Remove the "&" and this might work.

Set a local GPO to do this with gpedit.msc.

A LTO3 tape drive should do the job on about 3-5 cartridges depending on the compression ratio. LTO3 max speed is 40Mb/s to 80Mb/s (compressed). A Library attached on the 2TB directly or installed on a backup server with a link speed of 1Gb should be enough to save your 2TB in one night if the files are big enough (i.e. not a tree with 150000 folders and 250000 files). For example if you need to backup 2TB of word/excel files, then it will take most like 1 or 2 days. LTO3 is most probably the most reliable and fast solution but is very exepensive.

Did you tried the 2k drivers ?

You should use start "title" /separate "program".

You can try to install it as a service. Look for reskit utilities instsrv.exe and srvany.exe to create the service.

Most likely this would result crashing your windows 2000. If you still want to give it a try, you'll need to modify the .inf to allow it to be used with 2k.

That's probably the explorer multimedia handler who is trying to identify, get infos or create thumbnails for videos.

You're right if you created the floppy from a windows with the same locale code page then it should work. But even if it doesn't work you might want to try to copy some files and check afterwards if the files names are copied correctly. If third party tools doesn't work then you can try the XP recovery console booting from the 6 floppy disks.

You're mixing code page for ntfs driver and code page for the dos environment. They aren't the same. The lastest NTFSDOS from Winternals is able to use localized drivers when you make the dos floppy as it request windows files. You can try instead the free NTFS4DOS: http://www.datapol.de/dpe/freeware/

Virtualdub is the best and is very light and also it's open source.

You can also check there: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders

Winternals NTFSDOS can do it but isn't free. NTFS4DOS also exist but i didn't try it so i can't say if it working well or not.

Or ERD commander or any windows PE solutions ( they are less destructives ).

You can user installrite or regshot to get the reg key written when installing an application but you'll may still need to reinstall applications in some cases because some applications store files in your windows directory or drive even when you don't want it.

Or you can simply change your windows power management settings and hibernate after 300min.
