I have an application that receives data from an outside LAN. All data going out from that application (only one to run on that machine!) is to be transmitted on our internal LAN. All machines in the setup run XP. A spare do run Win 7, however. (Both LANs are with only a few machines and no...

It may have something to do with differences between user rights? I have seen users that were supposed to have admin rights, but were actually missing some of them!

I am building a special keyboard to be connected via USB to a laptop. Laptop will be running Windows, Linux or Google. (unknown at the time, but Google is said to be high on the list) The question is, do I need to implement key repeat in my controller (Arduino clone) or is it usually (or can it...

It may be a driver thing! I seem to recall installing a new driver from Intel soon after buying the thing. I am using FireFox, but some homepages do have their ads follow scrolling, so they are always visible. FlashBlock does not prevent that. Besides, I do like having a little more workspace...

On my old netbook I have a screen resolution of 1024x600. Too small for anything, really. Fortunately, I still run XP with an Intel driver installed. This allows me to have a much larger desktop in both dimensions I can pan across. But how to do a similar thing under Win10? You can still get...

I have made buttons (or rather SpeedButtons!) with multi-line captions. Nothing 'auto' just simply a string containing CR+LF somewhere in the middle. The string, of course must be put in from code, as special characters can not be entered from the object inspector. with SpeedButton66 do...

The procedure Notify seems to start with a begin; !!!!! Tried to remove ';'? May actually be ignored. Do you need 'safecall' both at the declaration and in the code? (also Notify)

Well, TonHu, maybe that is what makes this little project tick? Unfortunately his code is in C, which is not a lingo I am all too familiar with. Plus assembly in the built-in driver, of course.

I am looking for a way to import data from a special keyboard and mouse combi yet to be developed. The idea is, that data from the new keyboard/mouse via some application using APIs or other could be sent to the system and used instead of the 'normal' keyboard in all other applications and the...

An update! I have tried to make a small app, that simply places 4 lines on a printer canvas and then prints them. The app works fine with my old HP 930 desk jet, but with this Samsung thing something happens on the way to the que. An access violation error is raised and data never fully reaches...

It is very hidden, but as I have been able to trace it, the printer supports SPL, Samsung's own language, which seems to be a page wide image based language. I have not been able to find anything useful about SPL. Command listing for instance. But as the DOS app. is line based only, I will...

I have a problem. An old DOS application (running on Win XP, 32 bit) can print to LPT1-3 or one of several COM ports. With a Net Use command I have managed to redirect printouts to the attached USB printer from Samsung. Unfortunately, the printer ignores the PCL sequences from the DOS app. in...

Add-on! I have just tried to scan my entire hard drive for any file, hidden or otherwise, that contains any of the two directory names. Nothing, except an .INI file for the search engine used.

I am using Win XP Home and have two folders with long, random HEX names in the root. Both mention 'Visual C++ 2008' in the text files. Underneath are loads of sub-directories with names like '1025'. Each contains a DLL and a RTF text file. Apparently in the language supported by that DLL. I...

System has now survived a total power down! I still have my 1600x1200. In fact the PC in question is old new. It is from 2007 or so, but has only now come into use, as my really old one (also running 1600x1200!) quit on me. (Motherboard and/or power supply.)

Old fashion 15 pin VGA connector is in use. Through a video, mouse and keyboard switch. 3 PCs share everything. I have now tried to install a driver from a CD that was marked 'HP 2025 monitor' (found at a very hidden location [upsidedown]). Now the driver somehow is able to 'see' available...

I am using SP3 on an older Pentium 4 dual core. Display adapter is an on-board Intel 82945G Express, with the newest driver from Intel. If set to 1280x1024 resolution, everything works, also after reboot. I need to set to 1600x1200, which is fine on the monitor, but 9 out of 10 times I am back...

For controlling a platform we use an Extreme 3D Pro from Logitech. It all performs beautifully, if the joystick is connected to a USB 2.0 port. Roughly 2% of the CPU's resources are in use. Total! Unfortunately, the PC is located in a rack about 8 meters (25-30 feet) from screen, keyboard...

I am talking about Micrografx Designer 3.0, which is from 1990. 32 bit code was not invented back then! All he reportedly did was installing those updates, 17 in all, suggested by Microsoft. And behold, he could install and run the win 3.1 code! That was NOT possible before those updates! As...

A colleague of mine is running Win 8 Home 64 bit. After he installed a number of updates from Microsoft, he was able to install and run an ancient 16 bit application from 1990 or so. Has Microsoft come up with a similar update for Win 7? I know, 32 bit code is going through an emulator on a 64...
