It sounds normal to me. I dunno, because unlike most modems with dial-up, ethernet shouldn't rely on processor core speed. I never have been told that it does. Otherwise, shouldn't it be called a software card then? First of all, torrents take up a lot of processor. There is usually a limit your client will get to (not an actual limit) where you will notice it is impossible to use the computer for anything else. I believe that it is dictated mostly by the amount of RAM on the computer. For example, back before I used a BT client and used a DL app, if I had 3 torrents running, I had to basically wait until they were finished before I could do anything else. The only difference in your instance is that your client is likely setting itself as a lower priority over other programs, or you have it configured to run in the background. So when you are playing a movie or game, Windows is using most of the processor for that and throttling it for the torrents. Even if you did have more than one core or CPU, you may not see any difference in performance unless all of your programs are designed to work with more than one core properly. If this is truly a concern, you may require the use of 2 computers, one for downloading and one for fun.

There is that 32 minute bug. How many minutes does it say are remaining when it stops?

It is possible you have an OEM unattended CD. If they work like the ones we make here, it will prompt for the COA (serial number) if the machine's configuration or BIOS settings do not match the required information in the oemsetup.inf.

I haven't looked at HTA implementations yet but I plan on using a Flash EXE instead. XML seems to make sense since the "HTA:" line looks like a transform.

I have had this problem in multiple instances. I need to run a program, but WinPE says it cannot find it. I have had this with both physical and virtual environments. I have created a screenshot to show the error as it happened in a virtual environment. These are the steps involved: 1. Turn on Virtual PC, use physical CD-Rom drive. 2. Boot off WinPE CD. 3. use physical floppy drive. 4. try to run fshare (from VM additionals) = ERROR 5. Copy fshare.exe from floppy to ramdisk = SUCCESS 6. run fshare from ramdisk = ERROR As I noted before, I have encountered this error in physical (ie not using a VM). I have gotten this error with USB sticks, floppy disks, hard drives and the ramdisk. Everytime I copy a file from a removable disk to the ramdisk or hard drive because it won't run, it will not run from there either. Any ideas? I have posted a screenshot.

I have taken a break from working on that problem for right now. The network was recently re-organised and getting WinPE to work properly again had taken some time. We decided to stick with using Ghost for multi-partition images for now but perhaps I can look into this again in a couple weeks.

ACDSee32 (the first version for Windows 98) is the best but newer versions I do not like as much. I use the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer now.

I use Thunderbird to connect to exchange. Certain features like the calendar don't work and you can't see the company directory but you can still use it.

I have 800Mhz Samsung RDRAM.

I have an Intel Pentium 4 2.0GHz 478 pin socket.

I use Thunderbird at work but use YahooMail at home.

I'm a hardcore gamer that doesn't have enough time to play. I spend more time modding than playing so I am not sure how to answer. I spend about 2 hours a night modding and maybe 1 hour playing another game.

It sounds normal to me.

I am encountering a problem where a program of mine needs to notify another software program, but it cannot. Here is the dillema. I have an application that is pushed with a deployment solution over a network. The server sends a command to its client handler to execute the program. The program executes (presumably) but after about 15 minutes the server reports back that the execution failed with a return code of 1. The return code of 1 is sent back from the client because it has timed out waiting for a response from my program that indicates it has completed executing. The client is monitoring the SYSTEM message queue for the exit code sent by my program. The problem is that my program doesn't send its exit code to System. Now I am aware that Windows Installer can send an exit code to System when it completes running an MSI. I have currently set up my program to only send an exit code of 0 and an additional program that sends a 1. I am awaiting a response to see if either exit code is detected by Windows. What should I be looking for in order to research how to send an exit code to system? What is the common name of that queue? Are there any documentation on how Windows Installer sends exit codes to Windows? Note that this implementation is not aimed at writing to the Event Log, as that is not something monitored by the client.

Yes, why so complicated? IE's security features can do this!

Is this router provided by your ISP? Is it also your DSL modem or is that a separate part? Are other computers connected to this router as well? Do you connect to it with an ethernet cable or a wireless connection? Can you ping the router? If you try to renew your IP address, does it give you an error? What is the make and model of this router? What version of Windows are you using? We use K9N Neo boards here all the time and have not experienced this problem. We use both original and V3 models. FYI to those interested, original uses nForce chipset for NIC, V3 uses modified Realtek 8139. We have not tried using Vista on these boards but have found that the network does not work properly on other MSI models.

Hello You get this beep because the i/o buffer is overflown? Does this sound come from the computer or the speakers? See if in the BIOS you have option to disable PC Speaker.

The game should not be doing that. Does this happen with all games you are using? This sounds like the game is not exiting properly. You can write a script that will kill a process, and just run it every time you exit the game. Or troubleshoot the problem you are having.

I use Firefox 1.07 at home for almost everything except website development and some shopping, in which I then use IE 6. I refuse to use IE7 because of the fact that MS deviated away from the CSS standard which worked better in 6.

I see what you mean. That article in particular is aimed at the Windows Setup process. You can also use the Sysprep method if you are going to be adding these drivers onto a machine before it reaches production. I have done that before also, but I do not use a virtual machine for working with images, I use a physical machine every time. I do it this way because manufacturers (such as Intel for example) are notorious for changing hardware components within the same model number but the old drivers not working. For example, how later 945 boards magically started coming with the IME and SOL on them when before they didn't.

You can manually install drivers using the Devcon CLI app from MS SysInternals. Its only failings is that it doesn't like installing drivers for secondary virtual devices. By that, I mean devices that Windows doesn't find until after the first driver is installed. For example, where I have encountered this problem. Using a PCI 2 Port Serial Card, that only has 1 physical port but is designed to use an adapter to handle 2 ports. Windows detects it in Device Manager as Unknown Device\PCI Serial Port. I use Devcon to install the driver, it then creates 1 known device called "Serial Port (COM4)" and an unknown device called "PCI Serial Port". Althought I have the correct driver file to handle both hardware IDs that the physical and virtual port use, Devcon cannot seem to install the driver for the second device. So if you are supporting any hardware that does something like this, you may run into this problem also.

Seems to me like you need to limit from the AD or Client side. There is no built-in permission you can change for a file or folder by itself. The actual copy procedure is done by the client machine by using the read function.

Yes, thanks a lot.

The typical rules I try to follow are: 1. No IRQ sharing with the Video card 2. No IRQ sharing with an I/O controller (like the HDDC) that will perform a DMA. Sometimes you don't get an option to change them.

It's enabled for my primary monitor, but it cannot be disabled. It's greyed out. Right, you can't disable the primary monitor. In the Display Properties/Settings tab, you will see monitor 1 and 2. Click on 2 and you should have an enable option. It may be in the context menu. Yeah, we tried both options there. It projected nothing. Also, check to see if it is actually projecting nothing or not. Sometimes, if you have a wallpaper, it will only display on the first monitor. Have you tried moving a window from the first screen and see if it appears on the second one?
