Here's my setup: My PC connects to my Internet facing wireless router via a USB-pluggable
wireless NIC, the IP address of which is 192.168.1.2 (netmask 255.255.255.0). The IP address of my
router's LAN port is 192.168.1.1. The NIC which is embedded in the motherboard has remained
disabled so far. Everything works OK, but I recently got a hold of a crossover cable, and I started
using it to connect a laptop to my PC. So I enabled the embedded NIC on the PC and gave it an IP
address of 192.168.2.2 (netmask 255.255.255.0, default gateway 192.168.2.2). The laptop&...

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&#...

With all the different flavors of Windows, what in your opinion is the best version? Win95, Win98,
Win98SE, WinNT, Win2000, WinXP, Vista, and even remember Windows 3.1? I hear that hardcore Windows
users are in love with Win98SE for some reason? Is there any justification behind this? I mean
this is a version of Windows that is definitely not supported anymore, but is the security and
stability of this version that much better where it doesn't need support? Personally, I really
like Win2000 over any other version. It seems more secure and stable, and I'm pr...

I was upgrading some software and came across a corrupt file that halted the installation process. I
went to see what was wrong with the file, and failed to manually delete it. I tried moving
(cut&paste) it to another location, and the installation succeeded. However, the file is still on my
drive, taking up a KB of space. I know that's not a lot, but where am I supposed to put it? In a
folder created especially for all the corrupt files on my computer? /blink.gif"

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...

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?...

This is a .NET Application I initially built for my own needs and am now thinking of releasing it as
a shareware. But, before I do that, I thought of getting some valuable feedback from you guys.
Basically, the software turns your system volume up or down attempting to match the sound level
chosen by you. It only works on Microsoft Windows Vista, taking advantage of the new architecture
which allows detection of the volume level. I came across a software that could do something like
this for XP and older operating systems. But, it required sound cards with meter control...

Dear Friends When using WINDOWS XP, and while in Windows Explorer, very often when attempting to
drag a file from Explorer to the folder you want to move it to, an error message will pop up saying:
Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to shut down...which usually freezes up
Explorer..and you have to open it up and try to do the function of dragging the file again. As
well...in some cases, when that error shows up, almost instantly after closing it, which usually
means you have to do the Control-Al-Del thing opening the task list in order to close the fol...

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...
