    Disgusting Banner Ad on My Hotmail

    One way round it is to load the MVPS hosts file "http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.htm" This points most, if not not all, of these ad server addresses to your localhost, where of course they can't be found. The installer comes with a batch file to back up your existing hosts file and replace...

    Solaris Clustering

    Clustering is a way to provide hardware resilience, by removing single points of failure. As far as possible the machines used should use resilient internal components, mirrored disks, duplicated memory, dual networks, power supplies etc. They are then connected together by a pair of heartbeat...

    How to display logical hostname for a cluster resource?

    Have a look at "man scrgadm" scrgadm -p or scrgadm -pvv will have it, but with a whole lot more too. Maybe you could grep the output? Steve

    Win7 Pro - XP Mode Question

    There is an interesting article in the latest (June 11) PC Pro (in the UK) regarding booting into the VHD natively by adding an entry to the boot loader. It only works with Enterprise and Ultimate versions of Windows 7 apparently. Steve

    Having trouble using MSG.EXE in vista

    As combo said in the other thread use msg /?to get help on this command. I would try putting the message text in quotes "tell me if you get this message". But a quick Google shows a lot of people having trouble with this. One Google also suggests that "Msg.exe can only send message to a...

    Multiple computer access to single outlook setup?

    It is possible, but it depends on your company's setup. In Microsoft Exchange you can set up group email accounts, or you could both login to the same account. The second option might be seen as a security issue, but that is up to your company. Clearly you would need a server based system, so...

    Classification Banner for Windows XP desktop

    I think Turkbear gave to only real answer to the problem "Stick a sign or label on the Monitor". However I have to agree with the other replies to the question, I can't see how this will affect the users actions. In fact it might just have the opposite effect. Think about a "Wet Paint" sign...

    Sun Solaris - Future?

    I would have to agree with Ken. Sun is predominately a hardware vendor, so for Oracle to buy that and then shut it down makes no sense. It is not as if Oracle were buying and removing the competition, they worked very well together but were not competing directly. Without hardware what would be...

    Throwing date errors

    ousoonerjoe thanks for this. I had been using a string for the input date, and then splitting it into day, month & year to work out the day number. Using a date type allowed me to use DatePart to get the number, 1 line of code replaced about 70! Steve

    Throwing date errors

    I have written a small app which converts day number (1-366) to actual date and vice-versa. It works OK, so I started to think what would happen if the user types an invalid date (29/02/2010 or 33/09/2010 etc) and how do I detect this. If I do a DateDiff on the input date, I can throw and trap...

    Timestamp and Char comparision

    You say that the table value is a particular format, is it a varchar or is it a date field? If it is the latter try a TO_DATE - TO_DATE('2010-08-03 22:29:42:109615', 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SSxFF') Steve Steve

    Access Genesys applications in Windows7

    Have you built the whole thing in Virtual PC, Database, DB-Server, Config Server and Config Manager? or is your client outside of the Virtual PC? Do DB-Server and Config Server run if you start them from command prompts? If config manager is not on the Virtual PC, does it work properly if you...

    Access Genesys applications in Windows7

    Are you talking about Genesys CTI software, or some other Genesys? If it is the CTI software, the client apps Config Manager, WFM Config Utility, OCM, CC-Pulse etc. should run fine (you might need compatibility mode). NOTE - Windows 7 may not be supported, so if you are working in a production...

    Stripping a character

    Do you mean ^M at the end of each line? If so in vi - :g/^v^M/s// /g To get the ^v^M bit pres ctrl+v and then ctrl+M. Also note the space after the double slash, this is what you are replacing with. You should be able to modify this to get rid of any unwanted character. The basic format...

    Windows 7 in a virtual machine

    Although the other resolutions are not shown, if you move the slider bar up or down, they appear. Make sure you have installed the VMWare tools, as I said earlier in this thread, I used the Windows 2008 server tools. Steve

    Windows 7 in a virtual machine

    I'm running it on VMWare server with the Guest OS set to Windows Server 2008. It works perfectly and the VMware tools installed without any problems. Steve

    MTP Device

    The Media Player 9 option is not really an option at all, all the PC's I can use have got WMP11. As for the manually picking a driver, I've tried that. By doing this the PC's now see the drive but cannot format it. I think that your sledgehammer advice, is the way forward! Thanks for your...
