Your computer is infect by virus. What you should do is disconnect this computer from the network. Restart your computer and run it in safe mode. Then log on as administrator and try to scan your computer for a virus in safe mode.
What you should note is if you could found the virus, try to note the virus name and search on the internet for the method to clean the virus.

I'm trying to monitor the acecess to the windows registry so that i can tell when a video file is opened. i know that montoring the registry is possible seeing as the regmon program does it. If anyone knows how to go abou tit that would be great... I'm using J# but if you know how to do it in another language then plz reply i can figure it out for j#
also if anyone knows how to make windows notify a process that the registry has been acessed instead of having to receieve the thousands of other registry acesses i'd appreciate it.
Thanx

Hi Kanel,
This could partially solve my problem of avoiding balloon popups at the notification area. But my problem is with the new window popup which shows the content (files and folders) of the Device. Can you please help me in avoiding the new window which pops up.
Thanks in advance.
Sai.

Insert your flash drive again. Then go to windows explorer and right click on your flash drive and click on Properties from the context menu. When the properties dialog box appear it will display several tab. Try to find the tab AutoPlay. In the tab AutoPlay select option Select an Action to Perform and from the list choose Take No Action. Try to disconnect your device and insert its again, does it display the content of the flash drive or not.

As well as the suggested AutoPlay fix, you can also register for insertion notifications, and get a message in your app when a memory stick (or other thing looking like a drive) is plugged in or removed; you can then respond with a "don't do anything" reply which will also suppress the explorer window.
Look in MSDN for 'device notification', or there might even be a sample here on CP.

I never know about Mac OX server because I never use it. If you want to know more, you can check it from here[^].

Yes, most virus attack Microsoft as you mention above. But in my opinion, the reason that virus attack Microsoft is not based on the security issue. Because windows is popular and most people use it, they is why windows is the point that hacker focus on. I also found that Microsoft has improve its security feature in windows too. If other operating system are populare to use in the client environment like windows, I think they would get attack like windows too.
The most importance thing here is: no matter you choose windows, linux or unix you should have full of knowledge to use and manage those technology in order to avoid from hacker attack. Security server does not mean that you just setup operating system without any configuration or security plan and you will get security from the other hacker.

HI,
We have a clarification in regards to debugging a device driver in a remote/foreign machine.
We use NULL MODEM CABLE to connect the COM ports of the two machines. We have checked the NULL MODEM CABLE using 'HYPER TERMINAL' application.
We use "WinDbg" to debug the drivers. The procedure we followed:
1. hve modified the 'boot.ini' in the target machine (where driver is installed).
2. In host machine windbg is initiated with windbg -k option.(also the symbol path and source path are set)
3. as the target machine is rebooted , the host machine is not recognising ..also there is not indication that the target machine is ready to communicate with the host.
any suggestion with diagrams/snapshots for the setup will be very helpful.
Thanks and best regards,
Bill Devi

I want to create a GUI shortcut to launch and executable that is in a nested directory.
Specifically I need this shortcut to NOT need to know it's own directory name, i.e. I cannot supply the full path.
The executable is in:
C:\appdir-YYYYMMDD\debug\app.exe
The shortcut is in directory:
C:\appdir-YYYYMMDD
The YYYYMMDD changes but I would like the shortcut to always run the executable that is nested below it.
If I create a Shortcut and make the "Target"
debug\app.exe
or
.debug\app.exe
or
.\debug\app.exe
Windows complains that the target does not exist.
Is there any way to do this?
Many thanks,
Robert

No, not without outside help. The shortcut has to have the directory name at least in it's "Start In" box. Without it, there is no telling what the current directory will be when the shortcut is launched, therefore, the shortcut will try to launch the app from a subdirectory of ANY directory that happens to be current at the time.
An alternative would be to launch your application from a VBScript (*.vbs) file instead of a shortcut. Or, have a VBScript figure out what the path should be, then create a new shortcut with the appropriate information and launch that.

Hello All,
I have been facing this unique problem for a while. The problem is that when ever I run an application which consumes huge amount of memory, the system crashes when I try to open/close Net meeting. Any pointers how to avoid this strange behaviour.
There is no system crash (blue screen) when net meeting is not invoked.
Regards,
Shashank

After your computer is crash, try to start your computer again in safe mode and log on as administrator to view an event viewer to investigate for the problem.

In the NetMeeting -> Help -> Readme follow comment exist :
"
Sharing of Microsoft(R) DirectX(R), OpenGL, MS-DOS(R), graphics-intensive games, and .avi files is not supported and might not function properly.

I m unable to track the reason behind this..
Please help me with an appropriate logic behind this..
