Well, I've quite successfully run MicroCAD and Qedit in Win95, so it's not impossible. And MicroCAD's a pre-DPMI app, dating to the MS-DOS 3.3 days, so the latitude is quite wide.
I would say though, that the later, DPMI-aware stuff will run more successfully. (I don't claim to know anything about the AutoCAD memory manager, or any of the other memory managers and protected mode DOS extenders that came out around the late eighties and early nineties. My guess is that they don't break Win9x's DOSbox virtualization - reputedly one of Microsoft's hidden gems.)
Perhaps someone with more knowledge of the matter could enlighten us?

MS went to great lengths to make the Win9x operating systems support as many DOS-based applications as possible. There was tremendous resistance to change (so what's new?) and they wanted wide, rapid acceptance of the new Windows. They did not maintain that compatibility priority with the WinNT/2K/XP series, but WinXP does have a compatibility mode that works well for some apps. If you had a DOS application that was happy running on Win98, XP can provide a sandbox for it to play happily in.
The Win9X systems were DOS-based, with a 32-bit shell running on top, so a lot of DOS apps worked great. Those which failed most often were the ones which relied upon direct control of low-level hardware interfaces. The answer, I guess, is "it depends..."

Hi, we're about to perform server hardening and our security officier asked that we remove the following Application Mapping configured in MMC>IIS>Default Web Site (right click properties)>Home Directory tab>Configuration button:
1. cdx
2. cer
3. htr
4. idc
5. printer
6. shtm
7. shtml
8. stm
Our application server hosts ASP.NET apps, so, I presume if we can safely remove mapping not in this list {asp,aspx,ascx,html,htm...etc}??
Thanks in advance!

Hi Guys,
I hope this is the correct board for this question.
I have a Flash Disk (Mobile III) when I inserted it on the DELL P4 USB port I was able to read/write files, I even inserted it in my IBM PC in our office and it works fine (both are desktop). Both are WIN XP O.S.
The question is when I insert in in my FUJITSU LAPTOP (P4) with Win XP OS it reboot my machine, Do you have any idea which updates will I need to run in order to read my FLASH disk?

you must use Microsoft USB Driver Version 5.1.2600.0 or greater. you can get it from from windows update.
By the way, there is a Faq listing about that problem on fujitsu's web site.
It applies to the C2210,P2120 and S6110 LB's
You may want to check that the bios is up to date also (you will have to email them).

I need help. First of all I know nothing about development on the Windows XP platform. Secondly I need to figure out how to get access to and control a firewire 1394 device from inside of my apllication. It's a MOTU 828mkII audio device. I'm coding in Java/C/C++.
Any suggestions on where to begin?

what kind of control do you need?
I would suggest you look various online references that discussses system details on 1394 and its related control/message bus.
You will probably need the windows DDK depending on what you need to do

Hi All,
A great help from this forum. Thanx all.
I would like to know how BIOS on power ON detects HDD?
It would be better if algo is available. Also what programming language we should use to program & run at boot time.
Thanx
Tom

Hello,
It is mystery with Windows networking.
I have a Windows NT Server Domain Controller that hold Active Directory database. At a client, I added it to the domain and login with a domain account, It worked well. But if I shutdown server, I still remain logon from client by using that domain account. I thought there must be an existence of domain controller for validation and authentication. But in my case, which done for that role?
Does anyone explain it for me?
My both domain controller and client are running Windows 2003 Server (standard version).
Thanks for reading.

Windows operating systems support cached logons for the case where no domain controller is available at logon time. This covers cases such as mobile users who need to be able to log on to their laptops while away from the office.
You can control how many cached logons are kept using Group Policy. The setting is under Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Local Policies > Security Options and is called 'Interactive logon: Number of previous logons to cache (in case domain controller is not available)'.
Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder
