Roger, not sure if this is too late but.
Make sure you install the items you are running prior to getting all of the updates. I found that on one machine I had run through the updates and then installed IIS. Non of the updates for it would install since they had already been done, yet none were applied to it. I would not be surprised if the same issues does not show up else ware. This may be what you are saying, just I am not reading it right.
I do not mind getting old. It beats all the other options that can think of.

That's a good thought. I was thinking first of bringing Windows fully up to date, but I recall trying once to update SQL Server after doing so and found it impossible to install SP3. SP4 worked, though, and I never figured out why.

Had anyone had problems with msi file installing on the d drive when it should have installed to the c drive?
thanks

If you can customize the install, then one could theoretically place the installed files anywhere the OS permits according to security and file protection.
And, oh, yeah, no I've never had a problem with that.
If your D: drive is a CD/DVD drive, and the MSI keeps asking for it, it may be an "advertised" feature that is installed upon first use. Just put the install CD in the drive in that case.
Otherwise, you need more detail in your post about what exactly is happening.

Well I can open the MSI up in orca and mess around with it that way, but as is, I have some computers with a c and d hard drive. some times it inexplicably installs to the d drive when there is enough space to install to the c drive. is there something with msi that maybe says install to the drive with the most space available, or something like that?
thanks

I would like to programmatically monitor objects, via RegQueryValueEx() / HKEY_PERFORMANCE_DATA. After hours trawling through all the documentation I could find on the web, two things are still confusing me:
(1) If I want to monitor a particular object, e.g. Processor, how do I know which object number to pass to RegQueryValueEx() ? I could look up the reg value HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Perflib\[LANG]\Counter, but then I cannot assume the string "Processor" is unique (what's to stop a 3rd party app registering its own object or counter called "Processor"?) And obviously the object IDs (numbers) themselves will not be the same on every system (so you can't just hardcode them..) What am I missing here?
(2) For my own understanding, where in the registry is the information stored that links object IDs to the performance APIs that they relate to? i.e. When you call RegQueryValueEx(HKEY_PERFORMANCE_DATA,..), Windows has to work out which DLL relates to the object number passed .. so where does it look up the information ?
Many thanks, I'm stumped !!

Hello !
My name is Cristi and I have a big big problem.
I want to get the plug and play informations from a printer connected via parallel port (or usb). Using DeviceIoControl with IOCTL__PAR_QUERY_DEVICE_ID is great in Windows 2000 or XP, but on Windows 95,98 and Me it doesn't work at all. I tried defining myself this IOCTLs with CTL_CODE macro but in vain.
I need to query directly the device and not the driver.
Please, if anyone knows, tell me how can I obtain the plug and play information on an operating system like Windows 95, 98 or ME
You can write me at funnycreeps@go.ro
Thank you !

I found TechNet to have a wealth of info on WMI. Think I'll write my own Perfmon.

Hi:
I just noticed an extra tool bar in my internet explorer, it is for searching. I suspect some internet programs put it there without my permission. I want to get rid of it. I tried to right click mouse, and checked the view menu, but it is greyed.
I checked in add/remove programs, but found nothing.
Thanks for any response.

I think its either an MSN toolbar or a Google Toolbar. These are very useful to surpress pop-ups.

If they r useful, why should they be greyed out and unable to remove?

Dear All,
I need to capture/track the messages sent accross network via "net send command" available in Windows 2000. Is there any utility provided for this ?
Can anybody please send the utility for this ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Rohit

Any network monitoring program should be capable. See for example Network Monitor that comes with server editions of Windows (you may need to install it from Add/Remove Windows Components).
Over a TCP/IP network, these messages are sent using the NetBIOS Mailslot protocol on UDP port 139. The Messenger service's mailslot is named 'messngr'.
Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder

Rohit,
if you're looking to track it from the machine it was sent, or the machine recieving, this is possible. You need to park your software listening on the network stack, and pick up this kind of traffic and log it.
If you are looking at tracking all messages that are sent on a network, success will depend on what kind of network. If it is switched, forget it. If it is a normal hub (or a switch port set to promiscuous mode), then you can "listen in".
Look in the Networking section on Firewalls, and you'll see a couple of examples of how to latch on to the network traffic.
Good luck.

Hi:
While I was in one web site, I highlighted some text and copied it to clipboard, then pasted it into word document.
However, when I tried to print it, I only got blank pages.
My question is: are there some print properties that these sites set so that others can't print their stuff?. If so how to get around it? This is the only site I encountered printing problem with.
Thanks for any help.
