You are a legend man! Thank you very much.
My problem was that the frikin tree nav in the left hand panel was not fully loading. But it did not give any errors or look like it was half loaded, so I assumed I was in the wrong place.
BTW, that left hand tree really bites because unlike the rest of the MSDN site it cannot be expanded horizontally. So with deep nestings you have to scroll horizontally, highly annoying.
Thanks again.

I have downloaded a utility from this site called "ShowVer.exe" (http://www.codeproject.com/dll/ShowVer.asp) that shows information about Windows DLLs. It seems to work fine on most Windows platforms (2000 for instance), but crashes when I attempt to run it on Win98. Anyone know why?

I've (A friend has, I'm not that stupid...) Windows Me OS, with Windows Media Player 9.0.
I've tried to connect to internet radio (using MPlayer9) but the only thing I saw was a message on the status bar: "Buffering...".
I couldn't hear a thing, it just beffered. The weird thing is that it didn't send or received (bytes) anything while so-called buffering.
Any ideas HOWTO resolve this issue?! 
Please,
HEEEEELLLLLPPPP!!!
Thanks...

Having spent several days restoring a hopelessly damaged system I now need to rebuild all the apps that were once installed. At the moment I have Win2K Server SP2 running (though it is still freezing up periodically) with only the peripherals, IE/OE5.0, Sonork, Trillian, and a nifty program for talking to my digicam installed. That would seem to narrow the list of candidates for the freezing problem.
I now need to add my apps and addons/upgrades, to wit: Win2K SP3, .NET Framework, VS6SP5, PSDK, MSDN, DDSK, Quickbooks, Access, Jasc Photoshop, PHP, SimpliCD, SQL Server, MDAC2.7, MSDE, Palm Desktop, CuteFTP, and a small assortment of lesser applications. Happily, all of the downloaded software still exists on various drives, so in most cases it's simply a matter of locating the original self-extracting file to re-install.
Is there a recommended order I should follow to minimize problems or conflicts during the process? Suggestions are most welcome!

Well, a few of those items are redundant:
SQL Server 2000 SP3 contains MDAC 2.7, so if you apply SQL Server 2000 SP 3, you shouldn't need to install MDAC.
MSDE is a subset of SQL Server, so you shouldn't need to install that (and shouldn't really, unless you know what you are doing. Improperly installing MSDE after installing SQL Server may break SQL Server (or at least the SQL Server tools).
Other than that, have fun!

Thanks, Jerry. I just noticed that I actually have SP4 for SQL Server, so I used that instead. Unfortunately I installed SQL Server on the I: drive, and the management program insists on trying to open an out of date version on the C: drive. Asinine installation programs...

I've re-installed SQL Server 7 three times, then attempted to apply SP3 and SP4. Both fail, claiming that an entry point in ums.dll doesn't exist: CreateUser@UmsScheduler@@ blahblahblah.
This package installed perfectly about a year ago, and the CD is undamaged! Technet is completely silent about the issue. This is nuts!!! Should I just copy the newer version of ums.dll to the active directory? Ideas, anyone?

Oops!
In my previous posts, note that I was speaking of SQL Server 2000, not SQL Server 7, so you may well have to apply MDAC 2.7 (I'm not that familiar with SQL 7, as it's been awhile).
You might want to search your hard drive for the file "sqlsp.log". This might help you get to the problem.
Good luck!

Thanks, Jerry, but all it tells me is that it couldn't start MSSQL Server; I already knew that. I downloaded and tried to install SP3 just in case it provided the missing entry point in the ums.dll file, but it caused the same set of errors. Installing MDAC2.7 worked fine, but I'll have to remove and re-install the SQL Server again without the service pack and leave it at that. Thanks again for the suggestions...

Every time I go to start my weblog I made I get this....
Server Error in '/VS/WebLog' Application.<br />
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
<br />
Server cannot access application directory 'C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\VS\WebLog\'. The directory does not exist or is not accessible because of security settings.
I go and check the folder, and it says it's read-only so I uncheck it. But then I go and click on it again and it still says it's read only....?!?! All of the files on my hard drive are like this....
I dont really remember if they were all read only before....
this all happened after I installed the new .net server on my other hard drive...
how do I fix this???

I have serveral remote servers that I would like to streamline setting up Visual Studio Projects and applications on, but I'm having trouble. Now I'm familar with the basics of IIS administration. I've setup .NET applications before on my localhost and on remotes servers with no bells or whistles and thought everything was a "go". Then I encountered this situation. The site is a subdomain, which I don't think is an issue at all. But the IP address is shared among several subdomains. Same IP but I need different web applications, one for each subdomain.
Does anyone have a suggestion for this one?

My mom has both of these drives on her new Dell Dimension 8250. The DVD works flawlessly in all aspects - has since she got it. But she says that the CD drive has never worked, ever. I just checked, and surely enough, there is no CD-RW drive shown under My Computer. (Yes, it is physically there, and yes, everything is plugged in correctly). Does anyone know how to get XP to recognize this 2nd CD drive? The bios settings are correct, and I thought that XP was great at recognizing CD drives. Perhaps there is something wrong with the hardware...
Anyway, any input would be appreciated.

If you have another computer there, move the CD-RW to that computer and see if it's recognized there. If not, return it.

Are all the drives identified correctly by the bios, hard/cd/dvd etc, either during the boot process or in the setup screens?
It may be jumpers, dodgy cables...

1. Sometimes when people install new drives, they forget to change the slave/master jumper on the back of the drives. Only one can be master, one slave.
2. Check the System control panel under hardware, for any conflict indicators (yellow ! ).
3. My XP Pro box recognizes the DVD-ROM on installation, but requires the driver cd installed to recognize the DVD burner drive.

Jon,
What does the device manager say? Does it show the drive listed there?
also If you boot off a 98 cd can you access the drive??

Hi
I am suddenly getting this error on pages  . The error seems intermitant in that the page giving the error sometimes renders fine and on other times falls over. Its also on other pages.
My research on the internet came up with the fact that this error is usually caused by not closing ASP objects with SET = myObject = Nothing, but all the scripts used close the objects after thier use.
Is there anything else that could be causing this or a solution? Microsofts site as usual came up with nothing helpful.
------------ Error Message ---------------------
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01fb'
An exception occurred: 'myOutputRS.Open'
/nps/site/envivodisplayAPI.asp, line 516
-------------------------------------------------
Any insight on this regard would really be appreciated.
Thanks
John Cogan

It could be an indication that you're trying to open a recordset that is already opened. Being intermittent leads me to think it may be session related, or that some previous page failed to close myOutputRS before the current page tries to open it. What scope does the rs have, and is it by chance defined (and possibly opened)in a SSI file?

Does Windows NT have a cron like utility? If what is it called and how
do I run it?
|

|

Will "at" continue to run after I have logged out and rebooted my system?

|

Thank you so much for your replies so far, but I have one more question.
Can I run "a job" every 5 minutes with at?
If so could you please post a trival example at coomand example of this?
I can only figure out how to get at to run once a day.

The at command-line interface doesn't support that, but you can do that thru the Explorer interface. (Control panel-Scheduled tasks) Create a new task, and in its properties you can set it to repeat every 5 minutes.
