My Dell Inspiron 1720 laptop runs Vista Home Premium (sigh). I'd like to be able to put it into sleep (ACPI mode S3 or "sleep" which is invoked instantly) but instead it always goes into S4 (ACPI mode S4 or "hibernate") taking up to a minute to update hiberfil.sys. I could invoke S3 on my old...

I'm running Vista Home Premium and I want to replace winhlp32.exe in C:\windows (so the help utility works on my "old" apps). I've turned off UAC and have full control to other folders, but cannot give Admin (me) the same access on the \windows folder. If I open its properties, or...

Folks I am using BCB6 to code a dialog box which pops up when a drop down menu option is clicked. I have chosen a dynamic modeless form to be the dialog box. This will offer the user multiple mutually exclusive choices. This looks easy enough to do on the main form with radio buttons in a...
