Testdisk and Photorec are your friends.
Photorec is intended to recover pictures, movies and musik from flash-drives, but does a good job on other drives as well.
Testdisk can recover lost partitions (not sure if that was your problem).
These two are a "must have". Seriously. If you haven't heard of them, get them.
Cheers,
Sebastian

Hi,
Here is the situation:
I have 2 computers with WINXP.
And one Pocket PC with windows mobile 2003.
I'm developing a network socket application...
The application is running on one computer and pocket PC.
The application works ( I can test it ) on the 2 computers.
Now I need to test it on the pocket PC, and the PPC must have a internet connection, which he gets by connecting to one of the computers through ActiveSync.
So the PPC is connected to one of the computers while the other computer sends data to the other computer.
But the PPC doesn't receive that data because ActiveSync is on another port, and the application opens a port (8000) on the pocket PC not on the computer...
So how could I route all data that is coming to a PC (only the data that is coming on port 8000, on which the pocket PC is connected) to the pocket PC port 8000, which is connected through USB ActiveSync connection?
I know this is quite complicating...
But please if you can help...
Thank you!

Hi,
Kindly let me know that, Is there any dangerous points to use Hibernate option in windows XP when I turn on my computer more than 1 day?
or
Should I use Hibernate option always when I do not want to wait much time when computer takes several time to load heavy applications/resources?
Thank you in advance

Hi Riaz,
Please know that the benefit of hibernating your computer is that you are saving energy by having minimal power on. It doesn't shut your machine on, so you don't have to wait as long for the OS to load up.
This disadvantages of hibernation is that the system can have a lot of issues pulling out of hibernation. Of course, as time goes on, machines are getting better and better so this becomes less of an issue.
Keep in mind that you need about 3-4 GB of free Hard Disk space to enable hibernation. So if you are limited on space, you might want to think about not enabling it.
It's really just a user's preference. The Hibernation mode is more desirable if you're going to be going to be away from the computer for an extended time period, otherwise you could use the Standby mode.
I hope this helps  .
Regards,

There is a related query I was just wanting to ask. If we use Windows Hibernation feature as a regular use, would it have any ill-effect on hard-disk.
One of my friend actually was telling in that perspective and it is a bad feature to use. But I feel it is a hibernate.sys file which is being created (size equal to the disk volume), it should not have any such effects?
Can you help clarify this too?

No, there are no ill-effects on the disk. The hybernate.sys file is the same as any other, just bigger.
THe problem with hybernate is that some applications and drivers don't recover from hybernation very well. A rather common example of this is some wireless network cards cannot reconnect to the network, especially if wireless encryption is used.

Hibernate is nothing but it just copies what ever in your RAM in to harddrive (in hibernate.sys file). this file's size is same as your RAM size. When system wakes up it will copies every thing from hibernate.sys into RAM.
So this doesnt affect your harddrive or any other things.
System stage will be same as it was hibernated (as it rollback everything into your RAM).

I'm debugging an application. Sometimes it hangs so that I can't kill it from TaskManager. What's more, the computer loses the ability to access network drives, and some other actions become terribly slow (sometimes running cmd.exe from TaskManager takes a lot of time). Also, I can't connect to Remote Debugger on that computer.
Any suggestions? Can it have to do with trying to open a file locked by some other process on another computer? Or with running ~160 threads?
The OS is Windows 2003 Server for x64.

Hey guys,
Ive been shipped a development PC from Germany, and the version of XP installed does not have support for US english. I've been all over the MS support site, and suprise surprise, there isnt a topic or answer that helps me solve my problem...
I cannot reinstall windows on this computer. It has all of the devopment tools and settings already installed and set, but everything is in German... Is there a single download for multi language support so i can switch the language to english while i have the computer? Ive set every possible option to english, but when i try to switch the menus and the other remaining options to english it begins searching for an \i386\lang folder that does not exist. Any ideas?

IIRC, these files are there in the windows XP installation CD. If you have one, then try setting options again after inserting the CD.

I'm surprised that English isn't there by default, i.e. without having to install specific English versions of DLLs from the Windows CD.
You could try 'forcing' the issue by setting the UI language in the registry, it's a fairly quick change and shouldn't have nay adverse effects:
Add a string value for the language you want to use to HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls\MUILanguages with the name being the hex language id for English US (0409) and set the value to 1.
That makes English US available and determines what is displayed in the 'Language used in menus and dialogs' drop down on the 'Languages' page in regional settings in the control panel.
From your posting I gather that it's when you change this that it starts asking for the cd. In that case, you can force the change by changing the following registry value:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop<br />
MultiUILanguageId
to 00000409
The effect of this should be instant, in that, if you open a windows dialog, you should see OK and Cancel buttons in English now. Do a restart and hopefully most strings will be in English.
Hth,
JK

hmmm... ive tried both, neither seem to work, i think i may just need to get an xp cd...
i had to add both keys to the registry there no MUILLanguages string, i did a search on the whole registry, so i added it at the path suggested and the value to it
also i tried option2 with the same resultsm, i guess i may need that XP CD

You need the MUI-disks I believe. Windows XP comes in a special version with all languages, but you can use MUI-disks with any XP installation.

I have been working with multilanguage. Since a customer of mine is multinational they have some computers around with multilanguage on them.
You're not gonna like this though. Multilingual user interface can only be installed on top of an English Windows XP.
There's more info about it on technet[^]
As a reinstall is out of the question I wish you good luck in learning German

Anyone ever configure SNMP for a windows 2003 box? I have gotten the "lucky" job having to do this, and I'm pretty clueless. I have the services installed and running, but beyond that I'm still trying to dig stuff up. Any suggestions, good articles, etc?

Can we install Windows CE in normal computer having lower configuration?

No. You can install an emulator though.

I haven't used CE since the 3.0 days but at that time, you could direct Platform Builder to create a "CE PC" build that could be installed on a desktop-type PC. I specifically remember doing it because I was chasing down a bug in a MS-provided DLL / driver and I had to show it wasn't caused by the custom hardware running CE. Once the bug was duplicated on the PC running CE, MS worked with me to resolve the bug.
That was over 5 years ago however. Whether you can still do this ...

Ya i read something like you have to install visual studio and one platform builder plugin is there for visual studio and from that you can create/develope an application and it will just generate whole os with that installed application (developed in vs).
I think this should work. Actually write now i do have some other work so i will see this later.
Thanks brother.

I didn't do it that way - it may be a new feature in Visual Studio. As I said, I did it a number of years ago but how I did it then was solely with Platform Builder. The CE PC was just another available platform in PB and was initially built independent of the application.
Good luck

We ran into the above problem at work during the week.
The scenario is: at one point application was running normally then apparently without any software changes it fails on startup with the above error. It also says it's a System.Net.WebException. (I say "apparently" because there was a hardware change and the overall system is quite complex, with a PLCs and Linux software involved as well).
A bit of Goggling led me to this:
http://communityserver.org/forums/p/485800/574163.[^]
which seems similar to what we had except that "run as administrator" didn't work for us.
Are there other scenarios that can cause this?
When I left work yesterday some guys were still looking into this so they may well have solved it but I said I would do some further posting on forums to see if anything else is uncovered.
I didn't actually write this part of the software but it is starting up a bunch of WCF services among other things.
The Vista version is Vista Business. Automatic Updates are turned off.
