Hello
One of my friends has got a problem in his PC. He says,
"I have to start up a pc I don't know what type of hardware it is. But it is Compaq. When I start it, Windows 98 begins to load up but nothing happens. When I reboot it and press F10 MS Dos starts and a utility appears to check up the hardware with different options. But upon selecting any one options nothing happens. It just holds on. What may be the problem and how can I solve it."
Can you please tell me how can we fix it.
Thank you.

Ask your friend, did he install any hardware or application before this problem occure? Is it possible to load into safemode environment?

3 possibilities:
1) A software installation gone bad has corrupted Windows. You MIGHT be able to recover it by uninstalling the last software that was installed, if you can get Windows started in Safe Mode.
2) Spyware/Virus has corrupted Windows. Good Luck, at this point, your better off reformatting the drive and starting over.
3) Hardware problems. Either bad RAM or a bad motherboard.

Hello All,
Today in a computer system, which is having MSSQL-Server in it, its MSSQLSERVER and SQLSERVERAGENT services stopped.
On starting SQLServerAgent service, this message comes:
error 1068: The depending service for group failed to start.
So can anybody tell me how to start this SQLServerAgent and MSSQLSERVER services as on manually starting these services these services are not starting.
Thanks in advance,

Hi, we're using Disk Space Inspector from Avexsoft (http://www.advexsoft.com/?source=g_dsi) for disk space allocation monitoring and management. It's cool and all. Just wondering though, is there any Open Source/Free equivalent?

Okay, I've been looking at a few articles on the network stack buffer sizes, and for the life of me can't see where to set the default value for UDP, though I can see it for TCP.
http://www.enterprisenetworkingplanet.com/nethub/article.php/3485486[^]
I can set it in Winsock in code for a new socket (SO_RCVBUF), but not as a default in the registry from what I can tell.
Anyone know how to do this for UDP, so the network stack uses a larger buffer for datagrams?

Hi all I am using the MSPLOT driver as a model to build a monolithic printer
driver, what I am trying to do is have the driver create a engine managed
bitmap and hook some functions to it, when the driver cannot process the
drawing instruction it must punt to the GDI using ENGxxx function.
The code is something like this at DrvEnablePDEV:
SurfSize.cx = pPDev->HorzRes;
SurfSize.cy = pPDev->VertRes;
hHeap = GetProcessHeap();
pPDev->pbBitmap = (LPBYTE)HeapAlloc(hHeap, HEAP_ZERO_MEMORY,
(SIZE_T)(pPDev->HorzRes * pPDev->VertRes));
if (pPDev->pbBitmap == NULL)
{
TRACE_WARN("WARNING - BITMAP buffer not allocated reverting to Kernel
buffer",0);
// Should this be NULL GDI will allocate a buffer in kernel mode for the
bits
}
(HBITMAP)pPDev->hSurf = (HBITMAP)EngCreateBitmap( SurfSize, SurfSize.cx,
BMF_1BPP, BMF_TOPDOWN | BMF_NOZEROINIT, pPDev->pbBitmap );
// GDI punting, we shall call for a an engine managed bitmap to be called to
if (!EngAssociateSurface(pPDev->hSurf, (HDEV)pPDev->hpdev, HOOK_BITBLT |
HOOK_STRETCHBLT | HOOK_COPYBITS | HOOK_STROKEPATH | HOOK_FILLPATH |
HOOK_STROKEANDFILLPATH | HOOK_TEXTOUT))
{
TRACE_ERR(("DrvEnableSurface: UNable to associate surface"));
DrvDisableSurface((DHPDEV)pPDev->hpdev);
EngDeleteSurface(pPDev->hsurf);
return(NULL);
}
return((HSURF)pPDev->hsurf);
And at the drawing functions (sample DrvTextOut) :
// Punt call to GDI if no special rendering can be done
pso->iType = STYPE_BITMAP;
if (EngTextOut(pso, pstro, pfo, pco, prclExtra, prclOpaque, pboFore,
pboOpaque,
pptlBrushOrg, mix ) == DDI_ERROR)
{
return DDI_ERROR;
}
But when I punt to the GDI the Bitmap returned has its bits all 0, meaning
no drawing is done and I cannot understand why. Could any one help or maybe
hint me in whats missing in my code.
Thanks alot

I don't think many driver developers hang out here. You may get better answers on the NTDEV mailing list[^].

Why are we not using Virtual Server 2005 or VMWare for everything...? I love being able to restore snapshots at any one point with Snapshot Manager with VMWare.

Because of the cost of the licensing...

I actually use VMWare a lot for app testing and Hotfix prototyping. But as posted, there are licensing concerns. Though MS seems to be warming a little to he idea.
http://www.gartner.com/DisplayDocument?doc_cd=132810
One thing I noticed was that my copy of Windows 2003 Standard Edition that was bundled with my VS 2003 doesn't seem to complain if i use multiple instances on my test system (VMWare 5.5.1). Depends on what you're testing. The bundled Virtual PC in Vista also seems to allow 1 VM to be created without requiring an additional license.

Hi, when i browse code project forum, i usually found the following page occure:
ASP Engine error<br />
The ASP engine on this server (IIS 5) is prone to crashing under high load. No specific error has occurred - it's simply that the server has collapsed and will be restarted within the minute by our health monitoring systems. <br />
<br />
Please try again and you will hopefully be routed to a different, healthier server. <br />

Is it become from the server of code project error or my computer error?

This is a server-side error. There's nothing on your machine that would cause this error.

I have Windows XP with all latest updates installed.
I have MS Office 2003 installed.
When I start Access .mdb fail, I get:
"Security Warnings: Unsafe expressions are not blocked"
"Microsoft Jet 4.0 Service Pack 8 or later must be installed to block unsafe expressions ..."
When I start to install Jet 4.0 SP8 Update (for Windows XP) , I get:
"Setup has detected that the Service Pack version of this system is newer than the update you are applying"
what newer updates should I apply to block unsafe expresions?

I'd ensure that you have Office 2003 Service Pack 2 installed. I don't know if this will get rid of the error, though. Windows XP SP2 includes a newer version of Jet 4.0 than the downloadable SP8.
Office can sometimes be vulnerable to security issues and you should ensure that you keep it up to date. Microsoft Update[^] includes updates for Office and other Microsoft products in addition to updates for Windows.

I used to challenges before. This problem occure only when i try to open the previous file in office 2000 or office xp which contain any code in module that i wrote by myself. In my opinion, i think this problem occure because of access 2003 might has a built-in security feature that check the previous file version for any code that might be affecto the system.

hi,
I have a problem with my system performance ,its very low.sometimes virtual memory low icon is appearing in the startup.I think it may be because of my 128 mb ram as I have installed vc2005 and MSDN.Now what I want to know is if we increase virtual memory in our pc will there be any problem if so by how much amount can i increase my virtual memory.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks

Increase your virtual memory is increase the space of your hard disk drive as a temporary memory. I also used to increase the virtual memory in my computer and didn't found anything change.
narayanagvs wrote: how much amount can i increase my virtual memory.
There are a rank of minimum virtual memory and maximum virtual memory. The minimum of your virtual memory is = RAM * 1.5 and the maximum of virual memory = RAM * 3. In this case, if your computer have 128mb RAM then the minimum of your virtual memory would be 192mb and your maximum virtual memory would be 384mb. So you can increase to any number that you want. But if you want your system to run a fast performance, you should move your PAGEFILE.SYS to another free partition.

128MB?  That is far too little to run an NT-based OS + VC 2005 at any decent speed, as you've found out. Increasing your page file size won't help the speed any, buying more RAM will.

If i have a second partition with free 20Gb drive, and i move the page file to this drive and increase to page file size of 15Gb. Will this computer run faster than before?
