Never heard of that .DLL. Are you sure you got the filename correct?
Anyway, you've got a process running that trying to load that .DLL. Does the message come up after you launch any particular app? Does it come up by itself without you doing anything? What are the circumstanaces that trigger this event??

Hi
i need to buy a computer for multimedia studies i.e. 3d max etc
can anybody assist me by giving a system configuration for my studies.

William,
Your best bet is to go to the mfg's website and look at the recommended system configuration for the application. You may find that it is much harder to build a fully qualified system than you think.
Just to give you an idea - I once built a system specifically designed for AVID video editing. For the real time editing components (renderless), it needed a firewire controller that had to use the Texas Insturments chipset. On top of that, the card itself had to have a dedicated bus segment to the system's chipset controller, and it could be the only device on that bus segment.
What am I trying to say?
Building a system for specialized application handeling is not a simple task. If you have never done it before, I would shy away from doing so.
However, if you decide you do want to try and tackle it, you need to know that this type of system building is kind of like installing Gentoo Linux - no one can do it for you. Here are a few things to keep in mind though: you need to pair everything for best possible performance - but this isn't always what you think. For example - when specifying RAM to include into the machine, you want the motherboard's front-side bus (FSB) to match the RAM's FSB and the chipset's FSB. This will insure there are no bottle necks on the processing side of the system (the GPU will have it's own thing going on for it's memory speed). You also want to make sure that the RAM is rated ECC and fully buffered (ECC stands for "Error Corection Codes", it simply means that the unit is error correcting). ECC RAM will make your renders out of any 3D application more reliable (they won't get to 90% and fail). I know from personal experience that 3DS Max and Maya are very particular about the hardware installed in the system (more so Maya than 3DS). Hardware compatibility issues at the application layer are very difficult to troubleshoot. You might bump up the lumens on a light in a scene or turn on Global Illumination and get all kinds of errors dumping to the output window.
Some other things you want to include in your research are operating system compatibility, architecture support (x86 vs. x64), video hardware support (don't use ATI, Nvidia will have much better support for your application), processor type (single core - single socket all the way through multi core - multi socket) and supported instruction sets (MMX, SSE, SSE2, etc.).
The plot thickens when you start adding other primary applications into the mix, like Photoshop, After Effects, AVID, etc. These programs have their own requirements and may create a whole new level of complexity when installed on the same system as the 3D applications.
If you have ever installed a Gentoo Linux system - the comment about it earlier may start to make sense. Building a custom system for tasks such as the one you described is your perfect balance of seriousness, budget, application usage, and speed.
If I have turned you off of the idea, look to a major hardware vendor like HP (not system builder like Dell) for a configuration designed for a particular industry (eg: DCC). You can most likely get a nice student discount for one of the said workstations. And the biggest bonus: it comes with support.
Sorry about the novel of a message...

Wasn't sure where to go with this one, hoping someone can help...
Is it possible to create folders within a folder using the names of the files already contained in the folder?
say what!?
Folder named: MainFolder
Mainfolder contains 300 pdf files each with its own name (acr901, acr906, pnt76, etc...)
Within MainFolder I'd like to create a folder for each of those files (acr901, acr906, pnt76, etc...) then insert the file into that folder.
What do you think?
I have several folders containing 300 or more files in which I'd like to do this.
Thank-you for your help.

Sure, so long as you don't include the .PDF extension in the folder names, it shouldn't be a problem at all.
|
|
|
|

Really? You think you have a minute to give me some sort of direction on how?
If you want.

What's so hard about this? You use three standard methods on two classes in the System.Io namespace: Directory.GetFiles, Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension, and Directory.CreateDirectory. I'll leave it as an excersize to you to figure out code required to do three simple steps, get the list of files from a folder, get the filename portion (no extension) of each filename, and create a new folder using that name. It's possible to do in three lines of code.

Hi,
Paste this into a new batch file and execute it:
echo off
for /f %%a IN ('dir /b *.pdf') do mkdir %%~na
pause
It will make a folder for each PDF file while excluding the extension.
Best Wishes,

Hi, if I set an image with its size 2Mb or 5Mb as a desktop background, does this will impact the startup performance of windows xp?
Thank in advance!!!

What happens when you try it?

My system load very slow than usual when I logged on to my profile.

Does it load at normal speed when you revert to the smaller image file? If so you have found the problem, and the solution.

We have got a requirement to deliver a redundancy solution using SAN. Let's say we are going to build two RAID 5 arrays and then mirror them to a RAID 1. I have a hardware solution that can build two RAID 5, but they cannot build a mirror on the top of them. I have a number of questions:
1) Can Windows Server 2003 build a RAID over SAN at all?
2) Can Windows Server 2003 build RAID 1 on the top of, in other words mirror, two RAID 5?
2) If I power off one RAID 5 and power it on again, can Windows 2003 rebuild the entire or part of this RAID 5 via the mirror?
Regards,
Best,
Jun

First, if you're looking at a software based solution for RAID (i.e. Windows), you're screwing yourself performance-wise.
You should really be directing this question to SAN vendors to see what they can offer.

Read this[^], specifically looking at RAID 1+0 and RAID 0+1, these seem to be doing what your asking, just not in software though generally.

If you are looking at a SAN based solution - it probably means you have a lot of data and need lots of features (like iSCSI with pass-through write capability). Otherwise, you could use a NAS device with SATA disks. First of all (as mentioned in an earlier response) do NOT use a software based RAID solution. Secondly, if high-availability is important, go with RAID6 and not RAID5. If there will be a lot of I/O on the array, you need a performance boost. My overall advice: don't build one yourself. Purchase a NetApp (with their really cool RAID DP) or HP StorageWorks unit.
We purchased an HP StorageWorks MSA2012i. Our configuration has 2.7TB usable space and uses a RAID6 array with dual controllers. I think it cost just over $7000 (with an account manager).

Hi Everyone,
I am looking for the exact meaning for Direct IP. Can anyone let me know whats exactly meant by DirectIP?
Tried googling a lot without luck.
Please help. Thanks in advance.

Hello,
My question is a bit generic. Please bear with me as i am not able to give the hardware scenario here.
How many maximum number of network interfaces can be configured on a typical machine in an enterprise setup. Is there any limitations in terms of number of network slots or the number of virtual IPs?
Thanks.
|
|
|
|

You're limitated by your system resources.
In the GUI you can only add five IPs per connection, but that limit you can workaround by editing the registry.
Just remember that, if you have more than one gateway you'll need to manually edit your routes or install the RIP listener.

Hello guys,
Let me try to explain my situation as best as I can. I currently have 3 servers set up.
1) Application Server (a)
2) File Server (b)
3) Web Server (c)
Now between the Web server and the WAN there is a dedicated PC acting as the FIREWALL.
Now the thing is I am developing certain applications to communicate between server C and server a. Now server a has 2 network cards 1 being used to connect to the switch that connects server a and b to the rest to the office, and the other network card has a cable running from it ot the C machine as the C machine is on a sperate network than servers a and b.
Now here comes my problem i need to configure the Windows firewall on a to allow only certain connections,ports etc. from server C and rest disallow only for the connection between A - C but the rules must apply
Hope you guys understood, and any help would be greatly appreciated.
