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...

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...

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 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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

From an old project, I have a joystick of the above type. I have written a small application that catches X-Y-Z movement and buttons. (Standard Windows MM messages). Works fine, but lots of functions do not get through. (Two wheels, one hat and some more) Does anybody know how to catch...

My dad uses an old DOS program all the time. From this he needs access to the printer. The program works fine under XP, but the PC is rather old, slow and shaky, and it came with XP preinstalled. (No CD, and most likely no license key either!) These days Microsoft has decided, we must all go...

My mom just got an Acer Aspire 5742, which works fine! However, as Microsoft wants to sell, not help, it did not come with any Win 7 DVD or other. No CD with drivers from Acer either :-( Acer has an application, which pops up from time to time about creating some backup DVD set. (four DVDs are...

A strange question, maybe, but ... I have an old Danish XP CD & license that I want to use for the first time. Unfortunately it is from before all those 'Surface Pack' issues ever started. Can I jump directly to install SP2, or do I have to install SP1 first ? And where do I find a Danish...

I have created a number of audio CDs on standard CD-R media. Fresh from press they play OK, but after a while (from about three months and up) they start to 'degrade'. A certain 'beat' slowly appears in the played audio, that matches the rotation speed of the disc. It does not seem to matter...

I am trying to simulate a filter/regulation in Excel. For that I would like to be able to specify an averaging length/time as a parameter. I.e. be able to average from a specified cell to a cell a specified number of cells further up the collumn (back in time). Something like...

My application works fine, except if I forget to manually close it down, when I want to close down the PC. Win XP (and 2000) is not able to shut the application down. If I from another application send a wmClose, it works, but the more special messages used at close down, are not captured. Is...

My dad is using an older DOS DPMI program for acounting. Until recently it worked fine under Win ME. On his new PC he is running XP prof. and the software as such works fine. The problem comes, when he wants to print something. At times it works fine and at other times the Windows spooler...
