Hi,
I am trying to write an application that will act as a service on Windows 98. I found some sample code for writing service applications for Win2000/XP, but not for Win98. Does anyone have any information concerning this?
Thanks,
Steve

You would have to reproduce your service as a program that just ran with a tray icon or something like that because Win9x does not have the service framework NT based OSes have.

The TCP/IP stack in Win95 used to get thoroughly hosed periodically, and I often had to uninstall it then reinstall the protocol. On a few machines I even found it necessary to completely remove networking from the Windows setup and reinstall fresh. There was also a critical flaw in the network redirector dll, redir.dll IIRC, that was fixed by a download from Technet. You might try looking for that, though I doubt that you'll find anything that old on the site anymore.

OK, I'll try that. Just for clarity, how would I reinstall networking completely? I don't see it in the Windows Setup list (CPanel/Add Programs/Windows Setup).
[edit] I think I figured that bit out. I just killed everything in the list in the Network cpanel applet. [/edit]

I'll check that out.

I don't recall exactly what it was called back then, but there should be a line in the Add/Remove Programs/Windows Setup section that, when expanded, contains all the networking pieces - protocols, adapters, clients, etc - that you can unselect. Of course, if you don't have the original CD or floppy disks you're out of luck; it will demand the originals even to uninstall anything.

That sounds like the Network applet. I did however try reinstalling DUN in the Windows Setup area. Luckily I have the original CD.
*tries lots of things*
...and it worked!!
Thanks very much! Now I've only gotta fix name resolution, but pinging/browsing by ip works! kudos++

Dear All,
I am developing an application in MFC VC++ Version 6.0 for Windows 2000. I start my application as soon as the system logs on, by giving the path of my exe in Run field i.e.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
I want to run my program in safe mode also. But unfortunately my program doesnot starts in the safe mode automatically because Run entry in registy doesnot work in this case.
Please suggest any way to run my application in safe mode also.
Feel free to ask any further queries in this regards,
Thanks

Run does not work because Safe Mode is for repairing your system and for diagnosing problems, not for running applications. If you're worried that users can reset the system and start in Safe Mode to avoid your program, don't give them the 'shut down system' privilege, and don't give them physical access to the computer.
Oh, hang on, they need to do that to use it...
If you really need your program to run all the time, write it as a service. However, Windows still won't run your service if it boots in Safe Mode, IIRC - there's a limited set of required services that are started. See Inside Windows 2000 (Solomon, Russinovich) for more information.

Try running it from AUTOEXEC.BAT. That should cause it to run even in a DOS mode boot.

I just installed a firewall (Zone Alarm). However, it won't allow me to browse my network. The only way to browse the network is by disabling the firewall.
In Zone Alarm you can select applications that want to get though the firewall. So my question is...
What is the applicaiton/service that I should add to allow network browsing.
or, if this is not how...
How do I do it with Zone Alarm?

Are you using PRO? It might be either way but the basics of it is you need to add your network into the "trusted zone" and make sure permissions are set up for that zone that allow you to browse the network. (There are several checkboxes that allow you to diable a bunch of stuff depending on what zone it's in)

It's a Pentium 233Mhz MMX owned by the retired Grandmother of one of the kids in my sons soccer team that I coach. So there's no chance I can just get another printer or buy a better computer/operating system. The printer is an Epson C40UX or C40UX or something like that connected to the computer via a USB cable.
I got a call several weeks ago about tis problem, the printer wouldn't print. I dutifully turned up with a parallel and USB cable in case the existing cable was at fault. I turned on the machine, it printed perfectly I went home.
A couple of days later another call, another problem. It would sometimes print and sometimes wouldn't. I went out again and again all is well.
Problem is there again, or you wouldn't be hearing about this now, would you? This time the daughter (mother of kid from soccer) went for a look and has this to tell me. When you print from programs nothing happens, the jobs appear in the spooler but won't print until you reboot the machine and then they just fly out.
The driver was originally installed by the computer expert son (I think he can spell computer) so it may have been done wrong (I don't know how, I'm grasping at straws here). So think I should uninstall the printer and start from scratch.
Anyone have any idea how to resolve this problem?

What version of Windows is it running? Sounds like a funny problem. I'm also guessing you checked that the pause printing wasn't checked. Also it might be that there is no hard drive space on the pc, you might want to check that as well.
Despite the high cost of living, it remains popular.

It's Windows 98SE. Where is the 'Pause printing' option? There is at least a couple of gig to spare HDD wise. Thanks for the response.

The 'Pause' option appears in the printer applet, under Start/Settings/Printers, when you double-click on the printer. Any time a problem occurs while printing a document, Win98 sets the printer to offline and pauses the print spooler, then leaves it there for all time. This same behavior occurs if the wrong (or just badly-written) driver is installed. It took almost a year for Lexmark to make a proper driver for my printer on Win2K - it exhibited the same problem - though their tech support denied that there was any problem with it from the start. A fixed driver just magically appeared on their website one day. Check the mfr's website for an updated driver first off, and take a copy with you next time you visit.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
XP doesn't reconnect my network drives when I logon (to a domain). The network drives that are not reconnected are drives that are mapped to machines OUTSIDE the domain. XP "remembers" their credentials because I checked the "reconnect at logon" checkbox, but it simply doesn't actually reconnect them.
According to the following article:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;ko;kr283492
This is by design... but I was wondering if someone knows how to override this and force XP to ask for credentials during logon.
Thanks...

Hi, how do I set the environment variable for my JSDK?
I think I accomplished that by executing the following in DOS-command prompt:
set PATH = %PATH%;c:\jdk1.3.1\bin
But I have to do this everytime I invoke javac... I know there's a key in registry that stores all environment variables. I think/remember you can do this somewhere in control panel..? Any idea? Thanks.
