Wonder if any1 could help me out with a litle problem, i need to modify the file that control the the sound effects on windows xp systems or.., my problem is: I have customized the "start windows" .wav file, the .wav files starts, no problem with that, but windows ends it after 30 sec.
I think, if i havent got this total wrong, windows got a time limit on how long the "start windows" .wav is gonna play before it times out and windows stops it.
When i set the same .wav as "windows Logon" melody, it plays it all to the end.
So my question is, is there a way to modify that file to extend/remove the timeout of the startup .wav ?
Any help would be apreatchiated

There is no timeout in the WAV file. There is also no configuration in an .INI or Registry setting to change this, as far as I could determine. It looks like it's hard-coded to play for a maximum of 30 seconds.

Easy. Drop the WAV file, or a link to it, in your StartUp folder.

Hi, I have a problem with open/save dialog box in windows xp. In microsoft word or any other office application, when I need to open or save a document, I have a problem which I click on the Look in combobox to change the or folder location. My computer become slow or not respon and sometime it took around 5mn to display the drop down list. It is really difficult to deal with this issue.
From here, I would like to know what is the cause of the problem that make the Look in combo box take very long time to display it list item (drive or folder)? How could I solve this problem?

This could be cause by a couple of things. One, your computer may be cluttered, so I would suggest scanning for Mal-Ware, running a disk cleaning app, and then defragging your hard drive. If that doesn't work, then you probably have slow/worn out hardware, which needs to be replaced.
How old/fast is your processor?

You have a decent setup, so your hardware shouldn't be giving you problems. You should try defragging and running a disk cleaning utility (I would recommend CCleaner). That should help a lot.

Do you have mapped network drives? If the drives are pointing at servers that are slow or offline, that would cause that behavior.

Why network drive cause that problem. If the network drive is offline, it should be ignore the drive and display the list of the folder in the combobox.
Thank you very much for your reply

The shell has to ping the server, and it takes a short amount of time to timeout. Until it times out, the shell looks hung because the UI thread is blocked on the network communication.

Does anyone have a simple C program to display an image on a linux.
|

Your question should be: Does anyone know a good Linux form where I can ask my questions?

1), you ask anything anywhere ; not a proper way if you really want to get answers though.
2) what's your problem with linux ? Did you know that Codeproject was focused on Microsoft Technologies (Windows then) ?
3) it seems that before trying all your things under linux, buy a book and learn about it.

how to write the html script in linux?
how to run it?
|

HTML is a pure text format, you can use any text editor to write HTML files either in Linux or in any other OS.

You need someone with the HTML/Linux conversion utility. I have a copy of it and I rent it out to developers. Use the email link at the bottom of this post if you want to finsd out more.

That would be something in "Oxford Dictionary". You could try contacting them about the problem, and maybe they can release a fix for it.
