Hi, I am starting an opensource Midi Squencer / Controller. I have already learned how to get
info on all the Midi devices on the system, and I have figured out how to send data to a Midi
device. My next step is figuring how to get Midi input. I have been trying everything in the help
files, but nothing I have done has worked. I am using the mmsystem.h header for all my low-level
Midi communication. It connects to the mmsystem.dll that is standard with windows.... so it should
be accessable to anyone with C++. Is there anyone out there that would like to see a qu...

I tried in both Windows XP Home and Professional. If you try to make a folder named "CON" Windows XP
renames it back to what it was. So creating a new folder with the name "CON" just renames it to "New
Folder". The bug seems like a variable that got treated as a string or vice-versa. Trying to create
the folder from a cmd prompt failed with an error "The directory name is invalid.". This also works
when you try to create a file called "CON", or "CON.". ".CON" shows up the way it should. Somewhere
I found the reason that CON stands for CONsole which is device name but...

Hi, all illegal Windows XP users WILL NOT be able to download any updates or software from Microsoft
website. Automatic Updates will no longer work, because Microsoft will have to ask for your Software

So my uncle asks me to format his computer and install windows and stuff. So I did like I do with my
PC every six months. No problems at all, everything was working. So I proceeded to install drivers,
which I had already on my flash drive, a 2GB PNY flash drive. But, for some reason, the usb drive
was not recognized by windows XP on my uncle's PC, and I tried again on another port. No luck. I
was thinking maybe all the usb ports were broken or something... but then I went to my desktop and
proceeded to connect my usb drive to burn the drivers on to a CD. And what&#...

QUOTE Symantec: Windows is Most Secure OS hackers.jpgIn a report that surprises even the PC
lovers around here (read: me), Symantec has listed Microsoft Windows as the most secure OS out
there. They claim that Windows had the fewest number of patches and the shortest patch development
time of any OS, including Mac, Red Hat Linux, Solaris, and HP-UX (any HP-UX fanboys in the house?).
So what in the hell is going on? We've been spoon-fed all this data that says Windows is about
as secure as a screen door while Macs are perfectly safe, yet OS X came in 3rd in the ...

Hi all, I need a help from any one out here! I need to display one confirmation box using windows
startup script! I need to run this script on each and every client system in my LAN! Here is the
requirement: The script should ask the user to click yes to continue or no to exit. If the user

forms and after closing the browser, that should bring to regular login screen which says, cntrl alt
del to login! If the user directly preses the no button, that should close the co...

OK, I'm running Windows XP and my iPod is not detected when I plug it in. The only things that
I could guess are wrong are that I recently had a trojan, known as BackDoor-AWI and that my router
flaked out and I have no internet on the computer in question now. I'm not sure what happened,
but for some reason, McAfee is telling me that it's all screwed up on startup. So it's not
even running anymore. My computer does recognize USB keys, but will not see my iPod for some
reason. Any ideas?...

Okay, I am halfway to being able to add the My Videos Folder (the only of the special My folder I
really use) to the start panel. For those of you who don't know what I am talking about, make
sure you have the new XP start menu not classic, then open your start menu. The right side is the
start panel, and it should have links to things like My Documents, My Music, My Computer, etc. The
only one you can't add to it (you add features to it from the properties page) is the My Videos
File. No, my method: 1) Knowing Windows as well as I do, first thing after ex...

Hi, I've recently installed Apache 1.3.34 on my Windows XP machine. Does anyone know how to CMOD
files to specific values? I've read somewhere that if you set the file to 'readable'
that is the equivalent of CHMODing it to 777...is this true? By the way, sorry if this is in the
wrong forum section. I wasn't really sure where to put this....

I just read How To Login To An Expired Windows Xp System . This gave me a nice Windows Vista

Ok so for a long time I had my dual boot working great, windows and ubuntu. But 2 days ago my
windows required a wipe and clean install because of some issues, like it usually happens after 8
months. So I reinstalled windows, well, first deleted the windows partition using the windows XP
install CD. Then assigned a partition for windows (same size) and left the ubuntu and swap partition
intact. But of course, windows deletes GRUB and replace it with their boot info, so now I can't
boot ubuntu (I can't choose). How can I reinstall GRUB without having to reinstal...

Windows XP cmd tip (DOS isn’t dead... it just smells funny) Some command-line folder creation
examples: To create multiple folders at once, add them directly to the "md" command: C:\> md this
is a test To create a folder several folders deep, use: C:\> md this\is\a\test Creating a folder
with a long name requires the double-quote at the beginning: C:\> md "this is a test Bonus tip:
Windows XP supports the forward slash "/" as a folder divider. Unix/Linux users: don't let the
DOS environment get you down. Use a Unix-style CD command to change your present worki...

Remote Desktop Connection in Windows Vista What is Remote Desktop ? Remote Desktop Connections
can save time and aggravation: It's a technology already installed in Windows Vista that lets
you sit at a computer in one place and connect to another computer in a completely different
physical location away from you. For example, you can leave programs running on your computer at
work and then see them the same way you do at work when you turn on your computer at home. You can
be miles away from the work computer but be working on it as if you had never left the off...

Is it possible to downgrade a Windows Media Center Edition computer to use Windows XP instead?
Someone is having so much problems with this machine and I think it's the Operating System
causing the problem. I told her to reinstall Windows MCE, but I don't think they gave her any
Windows CDs. I think she got it burned from a recovery partition after I told her to look for one.
But that doesn't seem to work. So I'm thinking of downgrading to XP as a possible solution.
Isn't Windows MCE very similar to Windows XP, aside from the extra media features? Th...

If you have a dual-boot Windows/Linux system, you probably know this problem: you can access files
from your Windows installation while you are in Linux, but not the other way round. This tutorial

ATTENTION ALL READERS! WINDOWS VISTA IS AWESOME - I REPEAT - WINDOWS VISTA IS AWESOME! I think
Windows Vista is an incredibly good operating system which allows you to do so much more than XP.
The new look, design, simplicity, controls and layout are all fantastic. I've got a clock and a
calendar on the right hand side of my desktop and all my icons easier and clearer to recognise. It
takes under 5 seconds to log in and the graphics are just great. I've got Windows Vista Home
Premium and as long as I install the compatible drivers, all the software works! I'...

I heard it is possible to run more than one computers on the same serial of Windows. I also heard
that it can be registered and use all the functions of any legal copy of Windows. Lets say I have 4
computers in my house and don't want to pay $800 for windows on each one if I build them all
myself. I can just put same serial on all of them. But I heard this is also breaking the EULA
agreement with Microsoft which redeems this being illegal or improper use of windows. I would like
to hear your sides on this, or the whole truth behind this. If so does this mean somebody...

In this post I am going to give you a tip on which multimedia players are the best. The vlc player,
is a very successful and useful programm. It will play much more video and music formats, which
others like windows media player won't. Itunes. Nearly everyone knows itunes. Its used to
upload music to your ipod, or to hear music. Well itunes is quite good because of its music store
built in. Using a sort of internet browser in it, it will show music you can download from apple.com
for cheap prices such as 1 euro or 10 for a big album. So in the end, if you have bo...
