The 'OK' is part of the modem protocol, it's nothing to do with HyperTerminal.

Hi all,
I have a LAN with a workgroup. Can I share a folder with password protected. I think I did this with win98 long time ago. But I couldn't with XP
Can anybody help me?

No.

And look what happened to Windows 98.

Of course not. Password protecting a folder is extremely inefficient from both a security and administrative standpoint.
Networking relies on the users access token to determine what the have access to and what they don't. Passwords are NEVER assigned to specific resources, only user/machine accounts. You have to plan your security more carefully, but it's far easier to manage. Create a group on that machine, add the users that you want to have access to that folder to the group, then modify the permissions of the folder and give the appropriate permissions to the group. Done! Now noone has to memorize yet another password. The users that have access to the folder have it without doing anything and the users who don't, well, don't have access to it.

Windows XP 64-bit
This operating system's greater number of bits allows it, for example, to make effective use of dual CPU computers, and to run (some) custom-built software faster

If you're going to get a new NIC card, check out the ones that plug into a PCIe-1X slot. They should have 64-bit drivers...

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to turn off a USB device power, theoretically, the USB spec states it is possible.
<some background=""> On Intel chipset disabling the "USB root hub" will cut the connected USB devices power, I know that with Ali and Via chipsets (and probably others) its not the case.. the device will enter sleep mode instead.
The only thing I've been able to find is restart, disable-enable, and changing the max allowed power consumption. None of the above did the trick.. before giving up completely I wanted to hear your opinion of this..
Do you know a way to Turn off a USB device power?
Thanks,
Ariel.

Set the max power to zero?
|
|
|
|

From my understanding it will not necessarily turn off the device power.. its more like a “recommendation for the hub. (i.e if a device claims its max usage is 10ma but you use 100ma it might disconnect the device)
I'm willing to test it again (on several computers) if you’ll point me to a working test application..

now i want to get some informations about the local Floppy Driver. the information may content Vendor ID, Product ID ... or some thing else~
can anybody give me some hint?
if C/C++ can do this tell me how, if not give me some explaination.
thanks ~~~

For a floppy drive? There isn't a way to do this. The Device Manager in Windows doesn't care. As far as I know, most of them come back as a Generic Drive on a Standard Controller. About the only ones that would come back with any information are the old 120MB Super Drives.

Hi there, does anyone know in what memory location I can read the CPU tempreture\fan speed. I am guesing it is a memory location, as that would be the most logical...but it could also mean that every motherboard is different. In my case I want to read this information on an IBM Anyplace Kiosk. Google has let me down...Please help!!! Thanks.

There isn't any. This is usually polled from an I/O port in the machines chipset. The location (port#) changes from manufacturer to manufacturer. It's not Google that let you down, it's IBM because they don't publish this kind of information easily.
You're best bet to to crack open the box, get the chipset manufacturer and ID information, then start Googling around for that instead. You might actually come up with a couple utilities that will return the data for you.

I need to do this in software from C#. But after my initial search there seemed no way to do this...this was why I posted in the hardware forum because I thought would have to do it the hardway. HOWEVER it seems I am in luck, the temperature reading is implemented in ACPI and is available as a WMI object, provided the correct drivers are installed. Found a great example on this site:
http://www.cicoria.com/cs1/blogs/cedarlogic/archive/2006/11/29/404.aspx[^]
Works well on my HP laptop, but not on my desktop which has an MSI i975 motherboard which is about 3 years old... Holding thumbs it will work on the kiosk...(have not got one to test this just yet). Now I just have to find a way to get the fan speed.

That's right! So long as the WMI providers are installed AND that they actually provide the data you want. Sadly, most don't! From IBM, don't count it working.

If you can find out what the BIOS for the board is you can use speedfan to get the numbers. There's an option to get user created mappings for most major mobo designs, if IBM used something wierd in the kiosk you might have to figure the locations out the hardway, but otherwise you should be good to go with it.
PS if the board's a few years old you could also try motherboard monitor, but MBM has been abandoned by the developer and doens't support newer boards.

Is the Win32_TemperatureProbe class of any help?

Only if the WMI Providers for the MoBo have been installed. Most of the manufacturers don't bother creating the providers for this stuff. Other stuff, like the motherboard and manufacturer details, yes, but not the fan and temp counters. Pity, 'cause I would like to use them myself.

I was given a machine to work on, but found that the video card (it's a VGA/S-video/DVI card with an AGP connector) was faulty. To get the machine up and running, I simply pulled the original video card out and replaced it with one of my own (it's a VGA card with a PCI connector). That all worked fine. After I got the machine done, I swapped the video cards again, and, no surprise, it did not work. I just wrote it off as a bad video card and told the owner that he simply needed to buy a replacement. He took the old video card with him to ensure an exact match. He tells me later on that the new card does not work. His LCD monitor has both VGA and DVI connectors (as does the video card) so he tried both. I looked at it again, tried both connectors, several cables, all to no avail. Each time, the monitor would simply display, "No data. Check connection." I tried my VGA video card again, and it worked fine. So...
At this point, I don't know if it's the new video card or the AGP slot on the motherboard that is bad, or if I am just doing something completely wrong. Ultimately he could just buy a VGA video card with a PCI connector and be done, but that still does not solve the mystery.
Any ideas?

Check the bios. There might be a manual setting for the video adapter to use as a primary display, and that might have changed to "PCI only" when you removed the AGP card and used a PCI card instead.
Cheers,
Sebastian
