Looks like your laptop is broken. Time to call Dell...

Maybe I should or I have to try installing again WinXP-Pro.

*sigh* Windows and drivers have nothing to do with power getting to your battery. Is it removable ? Is it plugged in properly ? If so, call Dell.

I also own a dell laptop too. My laptop is Dell C600. I think this might be relate to the quality of the product (dell laptop). Try to contact to dell for the battery replacement. It is not relate to the driver. But I recommend you to remove the battery from the laptop or any electronic device if you know that you don't use it for a long time. For a laptop if you know that you won't use it in the future longer than one month, then remove the battery from your laptop.

Why does drawing in windows 98 get distorted from cdc operations?
Sometimes the bitblt and fillsolidrects draw nicely but sometimes it is very distorted.

You should set the StretchBltMode to COLORONCOLOR to get the best possible result. Otherwise, it should look fine.

Hi, can anyone tell me, what is the benefit of learning assembly programming language? If I learn vb.net i will be able to design an application with a greate visual interface. But if I learn assembly programming language, what is the possibility that I could do after learning it?

Can you give me an example of the program that deal with the hardware? On the other hand, I heard somebody told me that assembly programming could be written as a virus or we can become a hacker after we learn assembly programming. I don't want to be a hacker but I wonder this opinion is right or wrong? Because I try to look for the sample code of assembly programming in the internet and i don't think that it could be powerfull like that... Any idea or comment???

Just about any sort of hardware drivers.

You could be a virus writer with C# as well. It is possible to write a virus using VBScript or VBA code embedded in a Word document. (That's why virus checkers will check word files)

Assembly is very powerful if you know how to use it. I wouldn't recommend it for business applications but it is possible. Assembly language is essentially a one-to-one relationship to machine instructions. Each assembly instruction translates to one machine instruction - which is why it is so useful for dealing with hardware.
I don't know if that answers your question, but I hope it helps.

Thank you very much colin. That make me much more understand.

Thank you very much for your suggestion. I know some function of VBA, VB6 and VB.Net. Currently, I'm developing a database application in VB.Net and SQL server. But the reason that I ask about assembly programming because I want to learn about the computer security. I want to write my own anti-virus application that prevent virus attack from a network or the internet. But my teacher told me that, before you prevent a virus or hacker, you must be a virus writer or hacker yourself. That would make me know the behavior of the virus or hacker does. He ask me to learn as much as possible about assembly programming. He said that it is a powerful programming language. Now I just bought and read from this book[^] and start from chapter 1. Do you have any idea about that?

At it's core, I would suggest the jump from VB to assembler is a huge one. You should perhaps consider C++ first, to at least understand how a high level language manages memory and so on, before trying to use assembler to do anything.
If you use C++, assembler becomes more useful because you can embedd it in your app.

Thank you very much for your comment. I used to learn C++ for the last 3 years but now I forget it. During my study progress, I found that C++ is very difficult to study than VB. But I think because I'm lack of resource of learning C++. If it is possible, you could recommend me any resource that I could learn C++ very effectively, and a recommend C++ editor that I could use to compile the C++ source code very easily.

Visual Studio is the obvious answer. If you want to start slow, buy 'Teach yourself C++ in 24 hours'. That was my first book, and 6 months later I had a job writing C++.

The value of assembly language programming lies in the ability to access hardware bits directly, and to execute CPU instructions that are not available to applications written in HLLs. A device driver is one example of an ASM application.
Few programmers have a real, in-depth understanding of how the hardware works, primarily because they have little need for such knowledge in their work. Assembly programmers must have an intimate knowledge of the hardware in order to write effective, safe code. While I believe that most programmers would benefit from more in-depth knowledge, it isn't really necessary for writing applications. Learn ASM for your own reward - you may find that it's fun to manipulate bits and flags in the CPU directly - but don't plan on writing applications with it. That's just not practical.

I have a problem while launching windows update feature (w2k). The message is:
Windows Update has encountered an error. This may be due to a discrepancy in your computer's time setting.
To check your date and time setting:
On the taskbar, double-click the time.
Verify that the date and time is correct.
I can't get to the update page then.
Well, I don't have time setting problem; my time is correct.
Can anybody suggest a solution, please?
Regards

I got the same message yesterday on Windows Server 2003 RTM. There may be a bug.

There was a bug, indeed. After some time it worked ok. I suppose, Microsoft team was adding a untested feature to this site.

I used to heard my teacher told me about an error with the windows time zone. According to his suggestion, he told me to change the windows time zone to any time zone that is difference from the default time zone after we install windows 2000. He told me that, that is the recommend from Microsoft that need the user to do that everytime when they finish the installation process of windows 2000. Whether your time zone is correct with the default time zone that originally install by windows, but Microsoft still ask you to change to any difference time zone, then apply it back to the time zone that is the default time zone after it install windows 2000. But he did not tell me more detail about the behavior of an error or show me the document that he told me.

I am trying to access my computer at home from the computer at my office.Both are Turned on.But telnet is not responding.It gives the error message can't be connected at port 23.Can anyone solve this problem and please tell if there is some specific format.
Be FaithFull To Your Work.

That will occur when youe home pc has no telnet server/port opened.
|
|
|
|
|
Your home computer has to have the Telnet service running, and if you are using a firewall program, it has to have the Telnet service and port enabled. Usually this option must be accompanied by a list of authorized users and IP addresses, so be prepared when you attempt to enable it to provide that information.

In my opinion, you did not enable the Telnet service in the Services management consol. Try to enable it and try your connectivity again. On the other hand, if you need to learn on how to use telnet[^].
