For linux you can create a livecd of your entire os + applications. For windows you can use bartpe to do something similar but you do not directly get all the applications.

I assume that you want to make a copy of your OS installation disk. You can use Alcohol 120%( http://www.alcohol-soft.com/[^])
There are many other such softwares. Whichever one you use, select the "Copy DVD" option.

I don't know about vista but I have not seen any copy protection on any Microsoft CDs prior to that OS and even it it had some you can slipstream you own copy without any difficulty. So just about any cdrom software will copy the OS disks.

Is it possible to get two wireless routers to talk to each other wirelessly?
I'm having trouble with my DLink wireless USB key and am wondering if I could use a wired connection to one router ->wireless to other router -> wired to telephone line.

Use a repeater.
Either you buy a repeater, or you can buy a bridge/router/gateway or accesspoint with repeater functionality. You'll have to read the specifications.

You should be able to, and it would be easier if both routers were the same brand/model. You would need to set one up as a bridge/WAP (without any "router" functionality).
However, why do you have two wireless routers that are both set for wireless operation?

My employer loaned me one when I first got broadband as I work at home occasionally and I've just been given a netgear one as part of signing up with virgin media. Only one is active but I was hoping the wireless connection between two routers would be more stable than the DLink USB adapter I'm currently using.

Dear all
I have a set up for a multithread application that works with Sound Card and it uses Socket Connection. this set up works perfectly on a computer with these specifications:
motherboard: ASUS P4P800-MX Model
Processor: Intel Celeron CPU 2.53GHz
Memory: 512 MB , GEL brand
Hard Disk: 80GB Maxtor , IDE
Sound Card: Creative Sound Blaster 24 bit
but when mentioned setup run on another computer , this application occur many different exceptions e.g. some times some Icones hide or access violation.
second computer specifications:
Motherboard: ASUS P5GC-MX/1333 Model
processor: Intel Pentium D 2.8GHz Dual-Core Processor
Memory: 512 MB , Kingstone brand
Hard Disk: 80GB Maxtor, SATA
Sound Card: Creative Sound Blaster 24 bit
I was changed OS, RAM ,Motherboard BIOS , Power supply, Sound Card and used another VGA ... but the problems remain.
the application wrote with Delphi7 .
any body have suggestion?

Really? What IP address and port does it open on the sound card? 
Anyway, you could have a thread maxing out and monging the GUI. Whst the CPU usage in task manager?

We need to install a network drive on the cheap.
We want to put a 500gb drive on a network so that the users can view/write to it as a network drive.
The only spare licenses we have are Windows XP Professional and Windows 2000.
Windows XP Professional only allows 10 concurrent users (we have around 80).
Windows 2000 only sees 127gb of the drive (connected via USB 500gb can be seen - but hey who want to run a network drive on USB?)
Any suggestions?
(And yes we are total cheapskates  )

Ubuntu Server (i.e. "Linux + Samba"). Easy to setup, Shares can easily be administrated, even over a Web-Interface AFAIR.
Otherwise, try partitioning the volume, if Win2000 allows that, or try to find a custom driver.
Cheers,
Sebastian

(Slipstreaming SP4 into an W2K Disk will enable 48-bit addressing and, if the BIOS supports it, allow you to allocate the whole bunch to one partition... supposedly)

Thanks - I will pass this on to the hardware/networking chap - looks promising

Buy a NAS (network attached storage), or build your own[^].

Thanks.
In the end the network manager decided to put 120 gig hard drives into a cheap windows 2000 server box.

Hi,
I have to add support for AveryDennison AP/2.4 thermal printer in my application for barcode printing. It will be connected to any of the serial ports available. The manufacturer does not provide any programming interface. Any clue as to where should I get started?
|
|
|
|
|
Well, you'll need the protocol. You'll need one of the printers and a serial sniffer. Print a barcode, then parse what is being sent to the printer. If you're lucky, the printer only get a string and the type of barcode to be printed. If you're unlucky, they're using a propietary, encrypted, compressed binary protocol.
Cheers,
Sebastian

OK, I just pulled their website. The site says: Programmer's manual included.

If that Printer supports PRESCRIBE II, or there is a PRESCRIBE II emulation available, you might just be in luck: Prescribe II is Kyocera's page description language and enables you to write stuff like
!R! BARC 11, '123456', N; EXIT;
and be done with your barcoding assignment...

Hi
I am trying to get my new desktop running.
Parts List:
SATA 320 GB HDD
Q6600 quad core processor
2x2GB RAM
8800GTS 640 MB graphics card
Asus P5KR Motherboard - P35 express chipset
Antec EarthWatt 500W PSU.
I have put all the parts together, but when i turn it on, the cpu, psu, and graphics cards fans spin for about 30 seconds, then everything turns off for a second and starts spinning again. At no point does anything appear on the monitor. I have checked every component except the processor (could not get hold of another compatible motherboard), and they all work.
Anyone have any ideas?
Its a replacement for my old desktop that died, and its killing me having to use my laptop all the time  .

Well, there are a few "classics":
protective foil left on the underside of the cooler (thermal protection)
reset/power switches wired wrong
power switch stuck
Cheers,
Sebastian

Are you getting any beeps from the MB?
If you are, check the manual for what errors they indicate.
If you aren't getting any beeps at all the BIOS isn't starting/running/finishing the POST which indikates serious hardware error. Normally only malfunctioning processor, memory or central functions of the motherboard can make the bios fail. Malfunctioning processor basically never happens.
If all parts is properly built together my best bet would be a memory problem. Don't forget that the HDD and graphics card has memory too. So if you remove the HDD and graphics card and you still don't get any beeps it's probably the RAM thats broken.

Thanks the replies.
I was getting a beep at first, but then realised that my graphics card was not properly seated, so reseated it and it then proceded to do what i described above. No other beeps since then.
I have already had the motherboard replaced once, seems unlikely it would be the same thing twice. I thought about compatibility problems, but i couldnt find any other problems of a similar nature reported anywhere else.
Both memory modules were tested in another pc and found to be fine. Same with HDD and graphics card.
I am totally stumped

Sounds lke you've tested every major component except the PSU and CPU. One of them is probably to blame.
EDIT: Test the PSU by putting a known good PSU in your nonworking system. DO NOT PUT THE SUSPECT PSU IN ANY SYSTEM YOU"RE NOT WILLING TO RISK DESTROYING.
You know, every time I tried to win a bar-bet about being able to count to 1000 using my fingers I always get punched out when I reach 4....
