May I know why you want so much security on a personal machine???

Yeah that's me down below

It's actually not a security issue, it's a screensaver issue. I've noticed that when I don't force CTRL-ALT-DEL, the screensaver never activates when I have the machine locked. I'm sure there is another setting to get around this, but I couldn't find it easily, and I know that by forcing the CTRL-ALT-DEL the screensaver will show up.
Petty things.

Yep[/ there is a setting to get around this. Well.. I never had a problem with it on my own machine but I do vagually remember having to tick a box somewhere to get the screensaver to work... I'll have a look when I get home to my own machine

Here's what I do know...
WinXP = DX 8
Win2K = DX 7.1
WinME = DX 7.1
Win98 = DX 6 ??
I'm not sure of the exact version that came with the first edition of 98, but logically it should be at least 6.

I think WinXP = DX 8.1
But I could be wrong
And, not sure, but I guess Winnt 4 = DX 3

A little late but I think you're right. I think you had to have SP4 or 5 installed in order to install DX3 though.

IIRC DX3 came with NT4sp3.

Windows CE
CE = Compact Edition
This is a scaled down version of Windows used in embedded systems. You'll generally find this in palmtops burnt into a ROM.
Windows XP
XP = eXperience
Basically, it is the first version of Windows that is finally their one product line for Windows. Until XP, there was always your NT-based and your 95-based versions of Windows. They stopped doing that.
Windows .NET
.NET = .NET
Just another version of Windows with the .NET framework already installed and running. I'm sure there will be other things, but I don't know of them yet.

Hi All,
I have a pretty fundamental question about XP.
First some background though. We have an application that works under 95, 98, Me and NT4. An essential part of it is that during operation it substitutes the normal windows drivers handling the communication ports (COM1,2,3,4 etc...) with another driver (made by Willies Computer Software Company in Texas. When execution finshes it restores the normal windows driver. Under the versions mentioned above that works without a hitch. Under windows 2000 it does not because win2000 does not allow the normal driver to be replaced/suspended. Documentation on win2000 says it does but it certainly does not. As Xp is a further evolution of win2000 neither does XP allow you to do that. Bottom line is we cannot make our application work because we need the WCSC driver becuase that one does perform another task which all normal windows drivers are supposed to be able to do but do not (another flaw in the driver that does not do what is specified).
Question: I have recently been told that when installing "incompatible" (older) software on an XP system you can tell XP it is supposed to treat it as if it were a windows 98 or NT type application. I was told that when running the application it would then work more or less normally. Question is: does anyone know if this applies to the drivers as well ? if so, is it likely to work ?
any help much appreciated,
Filip

I'd be extremely vexed with any company that dared to pull such a stunt on one of my machines, and I strongly advise you to make this an option for dummies only!

No,
These kind of practices are being done by company's like
ISPWIZARD.COM and AOL.
So i m eager how to do these things..?

I'm using a layout class, which I think is only partially my problem...But here's waht I;ve got.
I have a program that desires to be proportional regardless of window size. So, I have a layout class that auto-sizes the controls for me. That works great. The problem comes in when I change the font size (to remain proportional) for the CWnds that make up the program's interface. Under 9x, it works fine. I can drag windows over the interface and everything stays intact. When I drag a window over the NT version, all the CWnds are re-drawn in the system's fail-safe font (system, 8pt.)
To nail down this issue, I have the CWnds report to me their font info. Under 9x, they always report the right info. Under NT, they give me garbage for the font name. So then set the font correctly. Now it reports the right fonts, but it still draws them in the system's failsafe font.
Right now I have a thread on a timer to fix this, but it is still sloppy looking between the refresh intervals.
As far as I can tell, the correct font info is set for the CWnd (using WM_SETFONT) but I have no idea why when it's redrawn automatically that it uses the system's fail-safe font.
Can anyone please help me? Has anyone seen this?

You would not be by any chance creating font on the stack would you?
void SetPropFont()
{
CFont font;
font.Create(xxx,xx,0x,6)
SetFont(&font);
}
|
|
|
|
|
I was... but I fixed that. Now I dereference a pointer to a font that always exists (so I can adjust the CFont at runtime), and it still breaks ;(
This has me most perplexed.
