    X-Setup - this should compensate for win98 missing group policy support.....

    Go to the VM properties and delete the SCSI hard-disc. Now add a HD of any size but keep it IDE. Now does it work?

    Hi!

    prathapml replied to FeTT!'s topic in Introduce Yourself!

    Might be a bit too late to welcome you aboard, but still, hoping you've enjoyed your time here and benefited from the resource we attempted to put together!

    I recently managed to color sticky and announcement topics with phpBB. I'll now try it with IPB 2.x - wish me luck!

    Please consider hosting such large chunks of code as a file elsewhere and linking to it.... * Removed because the reg code was 715 lines

    Very true! There should be no need for you to do so. Its good that real-mode DOS support was removed because it drastically reduces device driver loading time, boot-time, improves performance, and reduces attack surface for viruses.And as for SR - indeed! It needs to be updated with WindowsUpdate to work. But then, no one EVER likes it. It eats your HD space and then when you're desperate for it, it doesn't quite restore your system to perfection. Disable the darn thing, lol.

    well, then you are removing the reward for most of your members. There's no "benefit" that they would see after that. I mean.... if your forum is mostly made of teenagers who will anyway visit your site, and post thousands each day - then its one thing. But for a standard tech forum, doing that would be suicide.

    Contrary to the impression some people get about this forum, the fact actually is that every well-established forum always has its long-time members moaning about the newbies' lack of searching and forum-sticky reading capability.

    Well, outer-most tracks are the first partition, correct. But that's where the OS should be, for best speed. The next best undisturbed place has to be at the end of the disc - its better because it won't start to be used uptil a certain point. The middle of disk is not good for swap because of a range of reasons.... just suffice to say that this is what experience taught.. Of course, if you have a second hard-disk, just make a partition at start of disk and assign it for swap.

    Its very well possible. Why, lot of people have been doing it since years. That's the very reason these projects survive. But I suggest non-free projects (such as cedega) is a better bet since you can ask the devs to support a specific app which won't work for you. Personally, I'm yet to come across any small utility that won't work in cedega - and big apps the developers are so committed that almost any app you try running will install and run fine. NOTE: VMware still doesn't figure in any of this.

    hey, I get what you mean - but where does VMware figure in this! As for apps, CrossOver is indeed your best bet. Most apps will install and run fine with it. Then there's Cedega (formerly WineX) - for directX games. Both are commercialised WINE.

    Web developers who work with PNG files can use the AlphaImageLoader filter, as demonstrated in the following example: <html> <head></head> <body bgColor="blue"> <!-- This DIV is the target container for the image. --> <DIV ID="oDiv" STYLE="position:absolute; left:140px; height:400; width:400; filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader( src='image.png', sizingMethod='scale');" > </DIV> </body> </html> Knowledge Base article

    good work dave332 Does your installer also set thunderbird as default mail-client and put itself in start menu sticky? Now for getting a skin in there, and to have it pre-configured..... (not easy unless you use the direct extraction method).

    from dad?

    Nope.Only hotfixes released for XPSP2 or WS2k3SP1 and above, support this automated patch-merging thru switches.

    That's right - FAT16. Here's what I do: Make a logical partition at END of disk-space, of size 768 MB. And then set the swap space to occupy the entire avaialble space on that partition (normally a 768 MB partition might offer only 760 MB of usable space). See that your C: drive does NOT have any partition file. NOTE: This only applies to Win9x. For single hard-disks with Win2k/XP, you should actually have swap on C: for good performance.

    First, BIOS updating/flashing is easy. You don't even need a boot-disk. Can be done right from within windows - then rebott, and you see you are now on new version BIOS. As simple as that. But please keep in mind that bios upgrading should have no effect on your problem. It will neither improve the situation, nor screw it up. As such, its probably better to not do it, and instead see what else the cause could be.

    Exactly!The registry/INF method of doing it, is half-broken and needs lot of pre-conditions to be met, as the above posts prove. The correct way recommended by Microsoft is here - LINK. That's what we use for local configuration, conf. over network, etc. - and it hasn't ever failed. Moreover, its just a simple one line command (which MS has facilitated by providing the VBS file there by default).
