    Hard drive (non-bootable) causing slow startup

    Thanks both of you for your suggestions. I ran the diagnostic test from Hitachi and it came up clean. As suggested by garebo I have now moved all files to another location and done a clean formatof the entire drive. It seems to be working OK now. I will turn on S.M.A.R.T if I can find it in the...

    Hard drive (non-bootable) causing slow startup

    I have a 120gb IDE hard drive that has a lot of random files stored on it, but no OS and is not bootable. It is installed as a secondary drive, but it causes the computer to take ages to boot up.

I have: class Person {...} class Adult : public Person{...} then class SetOfPersons {...} and class SetOfAdults : public SetOfPersons {...} Is there a way to convert a Person reference to an adult reference when it is returned from SetOfAdults? Because all...

    Click won't work!

    I've created a simple tic tac toe game (just to get the hang of java applets) and used the MouseListener system of detecting mouse clicks. When the mouse is clicked on the applet the code checks where on the board the click was and places a cross in that square. When I uploaded the html and...

    How to lock/disable an onscreen form

    Thanks for the help, although closing forms is what I was trying to avoid. When using Visual Basic (studio) (to create programs) you have the option of setting the form property "enabled" to either enable that form, or disable (lock) it, so it cannot be changed, closed, or moved (in a...

    How to lock/disable an onscreen form

    I'm just trying to figure out how to disable a form when another is opened on top of it. At first I figured that I could use the form.enabled property but this doesn't appear to even exist. Making the form invisible is not really a viable option as users will require to look at the data on the...

    Is it possible to clone a mac address?

    I'm off to university in September and all dorm rooms have network connections with internet access. The network uses MAC address authentification, and only allows one MAC address to be registered per room. I currently have a desktop PC and a Laptop. It would make like easier if I could connect...
