Is it possible to set a drive letter for an external HD ?
for some reasons, when I powered my external HD, it was given a different letter than it usually is given ( I instead of H ) and that messed up the paths of a couple of softwares that use the data on that drive.
I'd like to give it the letter M, and always use that letter.
Thanks.

Hi,
I didnt quite know which forum to put this in...
I am trying to install DBI and DBD-DB2 for perl. I have active perl 5.8 installed on a windowsXP machine. DBI installed fine from the ppm but when i say
ppm install http://ftp.esoftmatic.com/outgoing/...8.4/DBD-DB2.ppd it says it cant connect to the site.
So i tried building the source for which i need nmake. i have the microsoft toolkit installed with has the VC++ compiler. I then downloaded nmake from the microsoft site and it says that i just have to run the application and it uncompresses itself into two files NMAKE.EXE and NMAKER.ERR which i should put in a directory in my path and i should be good to go but when i try and execute the NMAKE setup file it says
"c:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT. the system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose 'close' to terminate the application".
Any clues to whats going on? any other place i can get the DBD-DB2.ppd would be helpfull too.
thanks

There seem to be some viruses or spyware or something which delete the AUTOEXEC.NT and CONFIG.NT files. These files are found and read by the 16-bit compatibility subsystem when launching a 16-bit program. To restore them, follow these steps[^].
NMAKE shouldn't need the 16-bit compatibility system. You've probably downloaded an older version of NMAKE. On it's own, NMAKE doesn't actually build a program; you also need the C++ compiler. The 32-bit version of NMAKE comes with Visual Studio 6 and later.

Hi, I have partition D: on my computer which store 80GB of my document. After I transfer all of those file to my laptop then i delete all document on my D: drive. Now I want it back from my D: drive after the laptop is dead. I use the software OnTrack EasyRecovery software to recovery the delete file. And it could recover 25GB but when I open it, it said that the file is not recognize. The file is display in an original icon (word, excel, PDF, image...). But I could not open it. Does any one have any idea or powerfull software that could recover my file for me???

If you kept using the hard drive after, chances are you've overwritten the file, and now is a good time to learn the value of backups..

..Maybe.

You can't, if Windows doesn't recognize the device and give you a hint as to what file it's looking for. There is no standard format for device driver files. Your best bet is to identify what controller make and model you have installed, then visit the manufacturer's website and search Support for a proper driver file. You may also have some luck searching www.drivers.com[^], but it hasn't been too helpful to me in the past. The main reason for that is that it is so hard to identify the hardware correctly.
Good luck...

Hi, in outlook express I could create a message rule let me to direct my mail to any folder that i want. But when i need to format to the computer i could backup the message store folder, but i could not back up the message rule. When the new OS install, i restore the message but when i check to the rule that i have created before it does not display. My qeustion is: are there any solution to back up the rule of the message in outlook express? Because i have a lot people send to me, so it waste me a lot of time to create the message rule again.

Hi, I have a workgroup computer around 39 machine which is running windows 2000 and windows xp professional. My problem is, the internet usage space when i need to download the security patch for those windows. When i want to update the security pathc, i have to go through one by one and update, which waste a lot of time and cost a lot internet space usage. I found that some patch is duplicate but i have to download it many time to each machine. Could any one explain or give me any resource that could help me to solve the problem. What i expect to solve is download only one time to any machine among of it and distribute it to the other machine automatically when the user turn the computer on. Does anyone has any idea about that?

Whoa!!!
You're running 39 PCs in a workgroup configuration? That's nuts! Anything more than 10 systems is a good candidate for a client/server architecture. In fact, that's the only simple solution to the problem at hand. Using a logon script on a domain controller you can check for updates and automatically install them each time a client signs on the network. As far as I know, there is no way to automate this process from any arbitrary peer in a workgroup. This is one of the major arguments against large workgroups - the need to repeat routine tasks on every individual machine whenever a change is required.
Good luck! But buy a server soon - or even configure one existing machine as a server. Although it's not recommended, it is perfectly okay to use a server as a client machine; I am right now.

Dear Roger, Thank you very much for your comment. I plan to request my organization to purchase the server too. But I need to prepare some documents in order to present them about the benefit of client/server system. I think running a large workgroup is very difficult too, but this system is running normally before and I'm the person that just get this task after the previous staff leave. I plan to reform the system but it need to take step by step. I read from Microsoft website about Software Update Services (SUS), it might be able to help me but I don't know this tool could be able to work in workgroup or not. If it is possible, it would be greate for me.

hi all,
a new commer may add a value, a windows update server is the solution, you can find it at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserversystem/updateservices/downloads/WSUS.mspx[^] go to Deployment Guide, it will help
On the other hand, if your PC is a good one, make it a server, and let the workgroup join your domain as phase one, make it a pilot and through it you can present your idea of having a server
Tell your boss the benifits of having a server starting from:-
- file sharing with central access control mainly for data confidentiality
- make sure that you have another hard disk drive to do a daily backup, this will protect all company's data from damage
- print sharing centrally, means that you control printers and print servers
propose the server with RAID controller and tape drive for stability and backup
- for updates, make this server as SUS, and corporate antivirus server
- if you have internet access, install ISA server to control and monitor internet access
after that you may need to have another server for:
- DNS, Web and email system for your company, that sure will save you hosting expences and internet band width utilization
or install them all on the same server, but make sure you protect your network by a firewall function

Dear all,
I'm having problems with OpenProcessToken and "access denied". I am enumerating the processes on the machine, and trying to open a process token for each to find out the logon id.
It works fine for System processes, but not for processes launched by another interactive user - I just get access denied returned from OpenProcessToken.
I have enabled both the SE_SECURITY_NAME and SE_DEBUG_NAME privileges but still no luck.
I am running this code as an interactive administrator user (it works fine when running under the local system account).
Does anyone know what I'm missing - Thanks for any help in advance,
Stuart

Sorry I don't have my XP books handy - they're at work, as I won't have XP in the house - so I can't give you a definitive answer. Since XP is not a server OS you may not have that kind of control; if it's the Home edition you definitely don't. But if it's there, it's in the Administrative Tools section, possibly in the areas for managing RAS or Users and Groups. Do some exploring... make a Restore Point, then go hunting and make any likely looking changes. If all goes wrong, Restore.
(I hate XP, but I love that Restore feature! I wish they'd thought of it in time for Win2K.)
