Did you accidentally disable APIC in your BIOS? APIC allows for twice as many IRQs...

There is no DOS in WindowsXP. It is emulated. DOS games suffer badly from this fact and most of them aren't going to work in WinXP. Ever. Looks like you found one of them.

Let me start out by saying... you will never get *all* Windows applications to run on Linux. That won't happen. Now that that's out of the way... you want to install/setup WINE. WINE is a Windows emulator of sorts and allows Linux to run hundreds of Windows applications. For games, you want WineX by Transgaming. http://www.transgaming.com is their website and they ask for a $5/month subscription to help pay for development costs for running their program.

Right-click on the folder and choose the security tab. There you can set the permissions. Yes, you must create user accounts for every person that needs access to the NTFS volume and the passwords must match (to avoid getting a login request box). Domain controllers function as a password synchronizer to avoid this problem. If you don't have a domain controller (Win2000, 2003, or NT4 server) then you have to create accounts on that local workstation for every user.

That too... as well as share permissions.

Create an account on the NTFS computer with the same username/password that is being used on the FAT32 computers.

Ahh! Western Digital bad! Western Digital bad! Western Digital has been on Linux sh*t lists before for problems like this... and I must say, every Western Digital drive I've used in a Linux system has caused an eventual hard freeze in Knoppix 3.2, Morphix 0.3-x, Red Hat 8.x and 9.x as well as Mandrake 9.x. Not to mention the high failure rate of WD drives! Western Digital bad!

It's been a while since I used Evolution, but it seems like when I did use it you could read a PST file and import from them that way. I can't remember though, sorry. I just knew about the favorites because I have done that oodles of times before.

Yes, IE does have an export bookmark function. See above. To do it: 1. Open Internet Explorer 2. Click File/Import and Export 3. Next in the wizard 4. Choose "Export favorites" and hit next 5. Select a filename to save as (normally bookmark.html) 6. Done. I'll send screenshots if you don't believe me.

Aside from the fact that an ungodly amount of Western Digital drives fail, I know that many WD drives have general compatibility issues in all Linux distributions.

o0h. Ouch. The individual URLs won't get you far. You should go to Internet Explorer and do File/Export. Choose "Export favorites" and it will export all of your favorites into one HTML file (normally bookmark.html). Mozilla will then import this file correctly. Since you have that many favorites, it would be worth your time to find a Windows machine and copy the favorites there, then perform this operation.

Win2000 fixes cannot, will not, ever work on NT. There are a great deal of fixes coming out for 2000 that will not be released for NT4. Microsoft doesn't want to release patches for NT4. They want you to upgrade immediately, and this is how they do it. In their defense, they have to leave it behind sometime...

www.turboprint.de These drivers work perfectly with the Canon S520 - even if shared from another computer.

Two sound cards rarely coexist. You'll need to disable the onboard sound in BIOS (usually there) or via a jumper on your motherboard...

You reinstalled Mandrake and it doesn't work? Did you try enabling the soundserver?

I know that the soundservers are disabled by default. And I also know that if you have an SBLive, it will work hands down.

In both KDE and GNOME on Mandrake, it does not start the soundserver by default. In KDE, go to the control panel and the sounds applet (I use GNOME so I can't remember what KDE calls it)... click the box to start the ARTS soundserver on startup.

Screw that. Might I suggest Sourceforge.net or freshmeat.net?

You can convert any partition to NTFS without losing data by opening a command line and typing: convert <driveletter> /fs:ntfs --Vermyndax

There is an upgrade path from Access to SQL Server, but importing/converting the data automatically will require access to the Enterprise Manager. To load this utility, you would need a SQL Server 2000 CD to install the client tools. Unless of course, your host provider has a web interface or whatnot to manage the SQL Server, but this is unlikely. You might want to ask them.

sSQL = "Select * FROM CDListing WHERE CDListingID = '" & lID & "'" SQL = "Delete * From CDListing where CDListingID = '" & lID & "'" These statements are formed correctly for syntax. Now your error is most likely a problem with trying to look up data that is of a different datatype in the database. This can be tough to hunt down and exterminate. The basics of this is: 1. The database has a column named "lID" that is of datatype integer. 2. The variable being used in lID in your code is a string. When you execute the SQL, you're trying to lookup a string when the JET engine is expecting you to give an integer for that column. This is tough to chase down because you have to see where lID is declared in the code as a string (or whatever datatype it really is) and compare the database to see what datatype it expects. Sometimes you have to make adjustments to this for it to work correctly, too. As for your other question... I'm not suggesting cgi/perl is better. I'm suggesting that Access databases should not be used to drive a website. You should use a SQL Server 7 or 2000 to handle this job. Access databases have fundamental limitations that will hinder a website eventually when there are a lot of hits. Access databases are also quite slow when accessed like this. I like ASP... I prefer ASP.NET (I do a lot of programming in ASP.NET/SQL Server 2000), but classic ASP is sometimes a nightmare. cgi/perl is definitely not any easier! I would dare to say it's tougher to deal with. If you're using ASP, chances are your site is on a Windows server and getting it to run cgi/perl could be a literal b!tch.

I don't know why anyone would want to run a website from an Access database... but anyway ... The only problem I can see is that you need to encapsulate part of your SQL statements in apostrophes. For instance, in your SELECT statement: SELECT whatever FROM whatever WHERE whatever = " & whatever That's essentially what you have. Proper syntax of this statement would be: SELECT whatever FROM whatever WHERE whatever = '" & whatever & "'" Note the apostrophes delimited the criteria to filter your results in the WHERE statement. You would need to do the same for the DELETE statement. --Alexander

Also remember to comment out: Load "GLCore" Load "dri" Comment both of those entries out. Then, of course, as you said, make sure "nv" is "nvidia". Last but not least, try a reboot! Sometimes "nv" hangs out and interferes with loading "nvidia". And make sure you did do the GLX driver... --Alexander

I do the network admin job too... senior engineer actually, and have to live with the pain of watching other admins suffer when they don't "have time" to read ntbackup's docs... Hence this was born! --Alexander

Hey gang... Nice to see no one is bashing the app too hard har har har Probably the only feature I will add at this point is the ability to choose the scheduled task time/date... aside from that, it's pretty cut and dry - not much else to do with it unless you folks think of something! --Alexander
