    NVIDIA Video Playback Problem

    Hello, I just upgraded to a NVIDIA GeForce 7600 AGP card with 512 MB from an ATI card with 128 MB (I think it was a RADEON 9800, but could be wrong). The main reason I did this was to improve my gaming video. My OS is XP. After the installation, I immediately loaded up Battlefield2, and was...

    DOS Batch File - Opening Multiple Apps at once

    Hello, I'm trying to write a DOS batch file that will open up two applications in sequence without having to close the first app before the second app launches. The easiest way to replicate the problem is to create a batch that is simply: notepad calc In this example, first notepad would...

    Restricting users from running anything except for IE

    I found an app called dWinlock (http://www.dwinlock.kassl.de) that disables ctrl-esc, the Windows key, and a number of other key combinations. I think this app running resident in the background will do the trick when comboed with the terminal services solution we already are using. Thanks for...

    Restricting users from running anything except for IE

    merge partitions

    It depends. If the two partitions are fat32, you can merge them fairly easy. However, if one partition is NTFS, it is a bit more difficult. I suggest getting a copy of Partition Magic, it seemed to work well for me. Make sure you get the latest version because previous versions don't work...

    Startup and Logon

    It is checked. I unchecked it, rebooted and the computer started up under my login ID again. I then went back, checked the box, and tried again, but no success. I think this welcome screen option is just determining whether or not the user has to type in the computer user name or not. Any...

    Startup and Logon

    This is on my home desktop - no networking involved. I have 2 user accounts, one for me and one for my roommate and both accounts are password protected. When the computer starts up XP, it automatically logs in using my user account. If I walk away for the computer, I have it set so that a...
