    The device Generic volume cannot be stopped right now

    Thanks for the reply. I never thought to check the mobo manufacturer. BTW, the mobo is an asus p4t-e. Thanks, Troy Williams E.I.T. fenris@hotmail.com

    The device Generic volume cannot be stopped right now

    This is the error message that I am receiving when I try to stop my usb camera properly. It worked perfectly for a few months then I got a sony 64mb USB drive (the little keychain type). That worked a couple of times then I started to get the error message saying that It could not stop the usb...

    sql query to find activy times that cross time periods?

    ...each record has two columns, startTime and endTime. I am not even sure how to go about this. I think it would look something like this: SELECT * FROM tableA WHERE tableA.startTime Between startDate AND endDate SELECT * FROM tableA WHERE tableA.endTime Between startDate AND endDate NOTE...

    about bad sectors

    From what I remember, you can't get rid of bad sectors. Take, for instance, scandisk. Scandisk basically looks at the disk and if it finds any bad sectors flags them so that the OS doesn't write to it. There are always bad sectors, even on brand new drives, due to the manufacturing process. The...

    Router problem - DNS resolution

    It looks like you are almost there! You say: "However the only way I can access the internet is by statically assigning the dns server addresses for the campus network statically to each of my three computers behind the router." This is how it should be have. What you need to do is...

    Is my computer dead?

    You may still be having heat issues. Make sure the fan is on correctly, you may even want to try some heat sink compound. When something like this occurs I usually get out a really bright flash light and examine the motherboard (while the computer is powered down!) for little burn marks. If you...

    Can I put my swap file on a hidden partition?

    Barry, Setting a partition aside for the swap file is the right thing to do. Look at linux, you have to create a special partition called a swap partition. The reason why your partition is 118mb is because you are probably using fat16 instead of fat32. You are using an odd program to create...

    monitor network traffic???

    There really is not easy solution. I have seen slick packages that do this, but they are designed to monitor large corporate networks. I have also seen hardware that does this but it is expensive. Since this is a small network, you could put in some logging software on the computers that you...

    2 Networked XP PC's - Internet problems

    How does the host machine access the dsl modem, is it PPPOE or DHCP? If is is PPPOE then there should be a client that logs onto the ISP's network. This may be the reason why the host machine has to connect first to the internet before the clients can access it. Also the PPPOE may time out and...

    Home vs Pro

    XP Home is missing the two way firewall that Pro has. XP home can only block incomming requests but lets everything out. XP can block both ways. Mind you I don't even use the firewall as it is not as informative as zonealarm and I have a hardware based router. There is a policy editor (I can't...

    Structure Problem

    I was hoping someone who had done something similar would reply, Thanks! You have a very interesting approach. I'll have to ponder it for a while to see how I can adapt it. From what I can see it would lend it self very well to an access db format. Thanks again for the informative and very...

    tcp/ip problem in xp

    What is happening is that when you try to connect to the printserver while you are online, the computer tries to resolve the printserver's name into an ip address. This fails because it sends the request out to your DNS servers which have no idea what it is. Try adding an entry to your hosts...

    Structure Problem

    I wrote a program for a friend that goes to music sites and retrieves the top artists for the week (e.g. http://www.muchmusic.com/tv/countdown or http://www.billboard.com/billboard/charts/hot100.jsp). It works fine, but I got to thinking about how to make it more flexible. I have the parse...

    Best Anti-Virus Software??

    I have been using AVG now for over a year and it works great. No conflicts with other software, regular AV definition updates. It seems to rank up there with Norton and some others. Best of all it is free for Home use (as long as you live in North America, I believe). When ever anyone asks me...

    Can renew IP from router but cannot ping router

    If you think that it was a corrupted dll, there is a utility with windows ME that goes through and scans the systems files and reports back any problems. It even offers to fix the problems it finds. The program is called the system file checker (sfc.exe). This might find something. Personally I...

    XP performance slowing down?

    The indexing service goes through your hard disk(s) and makes a database of all the files you have on your computer. Now when you do a search for that word document that you can't find, instead of it searching through your entire hard disk(s) it will query the database. This will return results...
