1. I would re install windows in a case like that. Usually you get windows re-install CDs with all laptops, just throw it in and it will be like new. (all documents, etc, will be erased)
If you dont have it handy you can use a normal cd, but you will have to install all drivers...
It is possible that there there is another way to fix it, but it might not be worth the effort.
2. You should be able to change that in the settings for the dial up connection / hardware settings for the modem / audio volume levels (sometimes modem sound goes through a audio slider)
3. is hibernate enabled? try doing start, shut down, hibernate (or press shift at normal shutdown dialog) (or it could be the known winxp sp1 hibernate problem which will show an error message)
4. Well then some driver is still missing, if all the hardware you want to use works OK, then just disable it in the hardware manager.

Thanks alot Johannes but I think some spyware attacked my iexplorer
so it is damaged and actually I scanned and some were erased. Butit seems that there is some left.

Yes, it is possible that some spyware/malware or a virus broke some parts of windows. (and it is quite common)
removing all bad software may fix the problem, but it might also be more permanent. (in wich a re install or system restore might be the easiest way to get rid of it)
You could try Trend Micro's Housecall (google it) and hope if might find & remove what another program couldnt...

Hey all.
I hope im in the right thread, here... here goes...
Can anyone tell me if there are a certain sequence in witch these LDAP Attributes should be set ??
C - Country
L – Location
O – Organization
DC – Domain Component
OU – Organizational Unit
CN – Common Name
Example: [LDAP://CN=Domain Admins,CN=Users,DC=local,DC=mydomainname,DC=com ] and so on
Because if i call the path above like this [LDAP://DC=local,DC=mydomainname,DC=com,CN=Domain Admins,CN=Users ] (switch the DC and CN attributes) I get an unexpected error.
Do i have to set all the DC attributes last ??? or is there a certain sequence to use

Yes. You always specify them in order starting at the object, or most specific container and walk "up the tree" until you reach the largest, or most general, container. In your case, that's DC=com . It should be:

I am working on a project on NTFS. I never used to get errors while restoring the images with the code which i developed.After resizing the partition PQMagic is showing cross linked errors or cluster not allocated.Certainly some attribute of some file must have changed.can you just tell me which file attribute changes when we resize the partition or any other reason due to which we may encounter this error.

No file attribute or flag was changed. Cross-linked files occur when a cluster appears to belong to a file, but the volume bitmap does not show it as such. If you are using Windows XP or Vista, click Start then type "cmd" now press Ctrl+Shift+Enter to grant Admin rights to the prompt. Now run the following:
chkdsk c: /f /v
This will run the check disk program and attempt to fix any errors found on the c: partition (if you are checking a different partition, change the drive letter). It will also echo all the files it will be working on.
If Partition Magic didn't already do this, it may be good to defragment the drive when you are done, just to help the disk work faster after a partition resize.

Hi,
I've two IDE HDD and one DVD RW Drive in my machine. I've got the new HDD recently.
Now I tried install Fedora in my machine after writing the ISO image to a DVD. When But my machine always reboots when I opt to boot from CD. Earlier I've installed Ubuntu in my machine (before installing new HDD ) but this time that CD Rom is also not functioning. Is there anythign wrong wtih my BIOS configuration? I would appreciate if you could put some light on this?

If the drives are both on the same cable, try changing the jumper setting on the new drive to "Slave" instead of the default "CS" (cable select) if you havn't already.
If the drives are on different cables (1 disk/controller), then make sure they are both set to master.
|
|
|
|

On the IDE Slot 1 I configured my old HDD.
On the other slot available, I connected both DVD Drive and new HDD ( contains the Windows XP installation ) using single cable.

This would really surprise me if the problem was related to Fedora. Try this:
On IDE 0 (the first controller), connect your new HDD as the master drive and set the jumper to master. Then connect your old HDD as the secondary device on the same cable and set the jumper to slave. Also, make sure that the cable is 80 pin and/or ATA133, you don't want two HDD operating off of a low cable rating, like ATA66.
Now, on IDE 1 (the second controller), connect your DVD drive as master and set the jumper as such.
If you think that the BIOS is the culprit, then reset it now.
Now, go into your BIOS and set the boot order like this:
1 - Floppy Drive (if you have one)
2 - Secondary Master CD/DVD Drive
3 - Primary Master Hard Disk
4 - Primary Slave Hard Disk
Now try booting the Fedora installation DVD.

Try asking on the FedoraForum[^], and include details about your hardware configuration.

I have a bat file with some commands for registry manipulations. I need to determine the current folder path for my bat file.
Haw can I do this?

Actually, I am a little confused as to the answer. My company laptop, using WinXP SP2, says:
"CHDIR: Show or change current directory", which is a little weird. However, it works as listed, but I am not sure if they haven't changed something there....
If you are in doubt, check the Sysinternals-Tools. They probably have what you are looking for.
Cheers,
Sebastian

I have a requirement to redirect an print job from an MS-DOS based program, to a text file, rather than LPT1:
Back in the day, when MS-DOS ruled the world, I seem to remember that this could be done with a DOS command, but cannot remember how?
Can anyone refresh my memory?
Thanks

It's the same way, in a DOS box just redirect the output
C:\>program > out.txt
|
|

Thanks for the suggestion, but it does not work. In the meantime, I have had one of thoses moments of clarity and come up with a solution as follows :-
1. Add a Generic/Text Only printer to windows and set the port to FILE:
2. Share the new printer
3. Use the NET USE command to redirect print jobs to LPT1: e.g. NET USE LPT1: \\MyPC\GenericPrinter
Now when I print from my DOS program, the a windows box appears asking for the output file name.
Thanks

My question is on Intel's New Quad Core Processor Technology
This Quad Core Means - 4 CPU?
And if there is not 4 CPU(Processor) Then How it is Quad Core
It is same applicable for Core 2 Duo?
Actually what are this Terminology Means?
Believe Yourself™ :->™

|

A CPU is a single bit of hardware that handles general processing, you can have one or more CPU.
A CPU Core is the part of the CPU that does the processing, you can have multiple Cores per CPU.
In the case of the Core 2 Quad that means there are 4 Cores on 1 CPU.

Thanks for paying attantion!
here, there are some more queries,Please guide.
This Core is something like a Chip[Physically Present thing] or Just it's a kind a algorithm?
If it is any kind of chip then how it works for a single application?
Is that application distributes to 4 cores for process?, And thus it Improves Performence?
Is it something like that?
If there are 4 chip of core then it can Improve performence upto 4 times then a single core??
Actually I m still confuse in cores and it's work.

A processor is a very difficult thing to understand all in one sitting. You will have to do some research about it yourself. If you don't know English all that well, Wikipedia.org[^] has several language translations. But a link to an English article about multi-core microprocessors is here[^].
To give you a light overview of the core:
You are right, on a high level the "core", technically known as a die, is a physical aspect of the processor; but it is actually just a name for a group of specialized components. This is the main area of computing and largely includes the Arithmetic and Logic Unit (ALU)[^], a series of registers[^] (or boolean gates), and some tri-state[^] buffers whose functions are essentially "on", "off", and "disconnect". This is a gross understatement of the core, so to get a better idea of what it looks like, check out this picture[^] of the core, or die, of an x86 Pentium processor.
From application to processor:
Any piece of software on the computer, the Operating System (such as Linux, Microsoft Windows, Solaris, BSD, etc.), or any application that you install and use, and even any application that you may write, must all be converted at some point into a language known as Assembly Code[^]. This language is not standard for all processors and accompanying hardware, the name Assembly Code just refers to all languages that must directly be interpreted by the hardware. A single processor can only ever do one thing at a time, but today's processors operate so fast that it gives the illusion of real multitasking. The applications simply get in line and wait for their turn to pass an instruction through the processor. The speed in which the instructions are processed is determined by the clock speed[^].
Now, the real performance gain is in having more than one processor operating at one time. There are many ways to achieve this; one way, like you mentioned, is to have multiple cores on one or more chip(s). The quad core processors are 4 die arranged around the necessary input/output operators. So you are roughly getting the performance of 4 independent processors. In my experience, and this is just my opinion, I would much rather have two (or more) independent processors than one multi core processor. The two independent processors have double the pin count and can physically handle more data I/O than a multi core setup.
I know this response was rather lenghy, but I hope it gave you somewhere to start learning about processors. There should be plenty of material from Wikipedia to keep you busy for a while, too.
