I've alrady used the sysoc.inf method but have been unable to uninstall Outlook Express and I REALLY want to uninstall outlook Express

I must say I have been shocked and saddened by the scenes that our local TV broadcasts have been presenting. Basically they have been piping CNN, ABC & NBC to us constantly since 11pm Tuesday night. I was watching West Wing at the time and at first I thought I was still watching it when the news came on as it seemed so unreal. I still feel that I am reading a Tom Clancy novel instead of seeing reality. Fortunately the only people I know from NY are okay so I am quite relieved. I must say though I was surprised today as CNN outlined the proposed changes to Airport security proposed in the wake of this tragedy. I say surprised as most of these changes have been in place in Australia for the last 10 years. It seems difficult to believe that these simple security measures were not implemented years ago. On Tuesday night, the American population of my college was glued to the television, concerned for family and friends. To support these friends, out University is holding a memorial service tomorrow at lunchtime in one of our largest lecture theatres. I think the thing that has allowed Australians to best identify with this crisis is the way people have come out to aid each other with donations of labour, blood, money and food. When I look at this I see a spirit that I would categorise as what I would expect to happen if a similar disaster occured in Australia. I hope that anyone who knows an Australian would say the same. Our Red Cross has been operating extended hours to allow both Americans and Australians to donate blood to be sent over to the US and the response has been encouraging. Perhaps also, the amount of flowers and messages of support that have been placed at the entrances of the US Embassy and Consulates shows how much the Australian people wish to lend their support to the Americans. May all the American people know they have the unqulaified and unquestioned support of the Australian people and government. I would like to share with you all an email that I received from a mailing list I subscribe to: Friends, I'm at a loss for words. To say I wish to extend "my condolences" to the friends and family of those working in the Trade Center buildings would be a severe understatement. I simply cannot believe the images I've seen this morning. Never again will I look at a plume of smoke or collapsing building in the same way. The easiest way to react to such a monstrous catastrophe would be out of anger, to cry for revenge, to want to see someone else hurt as much as you are hurting right now. I must warn you, friends; such feelings are exactly what caused the terrorist attacks in the first place. Evil begets evil. All we can ask for is that the leaders of our world not make important decisions out of fear or anger, and that no important decisions be made for at least three days. If I were given the chance to do absolutely everything I could to help avert a global catastrophe as a result of today's events, I certainly would, and this is the most powerful medium I know of to communicate my message. I ask you now to forward this e-mail to as many people as you can, in the hopes that somehow love and light may spread more powerfully and quickly than the hurt and fear that is being experienced across the continent. An avalanche begins with a single stone, friend; you alone can make a difference. God Bless Humanity, Democracy and the American people.

My condolences to all who have been affected by this. The peace of the Lord be always with you.

Scratch, scratch.... adjust self, ;( yawn.

In the security policy put him down as a user who cannot log in locally. I think that should fix this problem.

Quote: Faded, did you install DOS on a brand new machine and then upgrad it 1 by 1 til XP just for fun? because i don't see how you upgrade a 286/386 running DOS and upgrade to XP. Hehehehe ... I remember the old thread about this. Fix Win2k problems by installing Dos 6.22 first. Damn that was some funny stuff. For those who are new - look here: http://www.ntcompatible.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=5681 ;(

To go dual monitors in WinNT4 you either need a dual head card (G400, GeForce or FireGL) or use two of the older Matrox Millenium series which use their own setup rather than the WinNT4 video stuff. Sorry if that's bad news.

As a statistical excercise: How many men & women frequent this board? I am interested for a Uni project looking into the ways people seek formal and informal advice and does this differ between the ***es.

Ha, Forget Windows.NET, Windows RG will be the next release after WinXP. Here's the preview link: http://128.241.244.96/portal/uploads/27000/27549_winrg.swf Sorry for reposting for those who have already seen it.

Being that it has been 2 years since I was working on a netork that is crippled by Websense, I didn't even think about it. Your demand is without grouding as why should I be responsible for what happens if you click that link. It is not as if I linked a pr0n or w4rez site. I think you got a little too excited. If your network admin told you off, just apologise and move on. From now on I'll check every database of banned sites from all Web filtering software just so you don't get a slap on the wrist from your net admin.

If you're talking about an FTP server/daemon, IIS v5.0 does a pretty decent job. It uses your Win2k account structure and allows setting up of virtual directories, real directories etc. Pretty easy to use. Just install FTP server from the Win2k cd and go into Computer Management and set it up. If you want an FTP client, use FTP explorer (FTPx Corp). It's free and works really well under Win2k.

My deal is this: My amp had a feedback issue that I didn't know about and has killed my original SBLive Value and an old SB16. Thus I need a new soundcard. The following are my options: CREATIVE Sound Blaster Live Value Digital OEM! $99.94 GUILLEMOT Maxi Sound Muse Sound Card $67.84 LEADTEK WinFast 4Xsound HRTF-based 3D Card AC3 Dobby Digital support Retail $44.28 LEADTEK WinFast 4Xsound HRTF-based 3D PCI Card AC3 Retail w/Fiber optic module & cable $56.76 Please note all prices in $AU. I would like a Philips card but I can't find anywhere in AU where they are available. What does anyone think? All replies appreciated. TIA. <edit> I'm leaning towards the Guillemot at the moment. </edit>

The AWE64 I've got is a pretty big slab of silicon, chips and resistors.

Swiped an AWE64 from a friend. Spent the money buying a new amp for my 3' speakers.

Hope things pick up for you Eddie.

Currently known as Kremlin, my machine has had many incarnations depending on hardware. Kremlin Bullwinkle Firetruck Enterprise Starbase NCC-1701-D/E Annorax Rocky

The only problem with getting a Santa Cruz or a Philips is that I can't find anywhere in Australia to buy them. BUGGER!!!!

Noo.......No No not Noo, Ni. Noo Ni Noo Ni N...N....Nee Ni Ni Ni Ni Gotta love Holy Grail......

Hi, One of my mates has been playing with a program that connects to both the ICQ and Yahoo Messenger networks allowing easy communication with both networks. Does anyone know: a) The name? Where to get it? TIA, Felix.

Hi all, Having made a service of an XWindow manager using FireDemon, I now have the problem of the splash screen and the taskbar button. I would like to know if anyone has and ideas how to remove the taskbar button and stop the splash screen appearing. The splash screen isn't really a concern however the taskbar button is. I need to be able to use this so I can use the Unix servers/programs at Uni as though they are part of my computer. Makes coding and other uni work much easier. TIA. PS - I have tried telling the service not to interact with the desktop but then the remote programs to not pop up, hence defeating the purpose of the exercise.

Search the forum for "FireDemon" or FireDaemon" and the answer will present itself.

Find yourself a Win9x machine and install it on there. Then copy the game directory to your Win2k box and run it. From memory it's only the installer that won't run under Win2k, not the program.

Two Questions: a) Does Win2k support more than one display adapter ie two monitors? Does anyone know whether the above will work with two PCI Trio64's? I am attempting to get dual monitors working on an old dog box for the hell of it. ------------------ ------------------------- I don't suffer from insanity. I enjoy every minute of it.

You can also do something like I do: Load up your quicklaunch bar with everything you ever use and then resize it to minimum. You then have a modified start menu when you click on the two little arrows. I do it with "my computer" and "network" too. Thus my taskbar virtually has three pop up menus.

What annoys me more than anything is that hardware companies write crappy drivers and pass them off to consumers quickly rather than taking the time to write good quality drivers that only have to be updated for a new OS, service pack or to take advantage of some improvments in DirectX. I give a big flip-off to hardware companies who think users will tolerate crap. At least when you use Linux, the drivers are a combination of hardware vendor and experienced hackers who nsure that the drivers are as bugless as possible. Crappy drivers = another reason for dual-booting Linux (I may switch in the near future)
