    Maybe we should thank "Bcastner" and "linney" for the FAQ and mention my name for putting it together. "We have no right to assume that any physical laws exist, or if they have existed up until now, that they will continue to exist in a similar manner in the future." ~ Max Planck

    Making a program or .exe run as a service in XP

    Thanks for your post. As I mentioned above, I am looking for something that I can work with in windows XP, and that article is specific to windows NT, although it sounds exactly what I am looking for. I'm wondering if the same procedure could be used for windows XP with the same results...

    Downloading speed on a server

    After much deliberation I managed to get a freeware server setup on my computer and I am wondering what kind of download speeds should be expected. I have read that people can download stuff between 1-10 Mb/sec which I think is amazing, however, the fastest speed someone can download so far...

    I have been trying for about 5 hours now to try and get a nice simple serv-u server setup and you better believe I cannot get it. I have read the knowledge base for connecting throug a firewall and using dynamic IP addressing and I still can't get the thing to work. So lets talk about each...

    IIS in XP Pro

    I want to set up a way to share share files on a connection with my friend who is running XP Home. I am running XP Pro and I think we could set something up if he is running XP Pro, but because he is running XP Home is that going to be a problem? If it is possible, are there any good KB...

    norton systemworks/question

    90 seconds to boot up, you must be running an old computer or something, I also have all the full edition of Norton 2003 and I think my 45 second boot time is too slow, but I have managed to get it down to about 30 seconds so I am happy about that. "We have no right to assume that any...

    norton systemworks/question

    I will give you my input for what its worth. I ran norton 2002 systemworks and I upgraded to norton 2003 systemworks a few months ago and I will tell you that my computer is slow starting up because of this program. With norton firewall and anti-virus starting up, it defintely takes away from...

    Dual Boot with Windows XP Pro and Linux

    I didn't mean anything bad by my comment so I hope you didn't interpret it that way. Depending on which way you want to go, you can leave windows XP alone and just put in the Red hat linux CD and use the formatting tools on Red hats CD called disk druid. You will need 3 partitions for your Red...

    Move OS XP Pro to another partition same Drive

    I would like to reinforce the point made by wolluf. NEVER use the tool drive mapper in partition magic, I understand exactly what you want to do because I tried to do the same thing and let me tell you it didn't work for me. Have a gander at this thread and you'll see why. thread779-759734...

    Cannot see Hard drives

    Probably not the problem but I had this same issue before and then someone kindly remind me that DOS can only see partitions with FAT32 file system and cannot see the new NTFS, so if those partitions on your hard drive are NTFS you cannot see them in DOS. Probably not the problem but I guess...

    Tips on speeding up Windows XP

    I found it quite strange of all the threads that have been started about this topic, that nobody has written an FAQ on the subject, so I will try and put one together. Please note: I take absolutely no credit for this as these ideas are suggestions from people who have much more knowledge...

    Cannot see other partitions in DOS

    Thanks for your post, I am not really doing anything, just experimenting with tools like fdisk and stuff, anyways you answered my question because the partitions E: and F: are NTFS and not FAT32, so I will have to change that. I also thought there was a key you could hold down that will boot...

    I have windows XP on one hard disk and I have a second hard drive with two partitions. I can see these partitions when I run command or cmd in windows XP no problem.
