Dependancy Walker will analyze any executable and tell you what dll's the program needs. The program in question does not need to be running - this just looks at the app itself to determine the dependencies (hence the name).

RIP Bladerunner...

Here's a free one that works as a winamp plugin: Streamripper. I haven't tried it, but it looks like exactly what you need!

fast-forward-fast-forward-fast-forward... TWINS! ...fast-forward-fast-forward-fast-forward... TWINS!

It's actually a hidden, system file, so in folder options you need to set "Show hidden files and folders", as well as clear "Hide protected operating system files"...

There is a hidden system file called "desktop.ini"... deleting that should straighten you out.

This setting is defined by the server, so it needs to be set there. Unless of course the server is on a domain, and then you have to set it on the domain controller.

This is set on a per-user basis... So first open up the properties of the particular user. Then go over the the Sessions tab, and there you can modify the Idle session limit. You can set it to "Never" if need be.

I second NVDVD

There's a free newsletter that highlights ridiculous lawsuits like these: The True Stella Awards. I would also recommend their original publication, This is True.

GSview can view PostScript and PDF files...

I knew a guy who was having this problem... then he put a piece of paper between the motherboard and the case, and suddenly it booted just fine! It didn't look like anything could have been shorting out, but whatever, it worked...

The RFC's (822 and 2822) allows for both formats, so I don't think there's really an easy answer to this. Maybe just because "." is quicker to type than "-" or "_"? One thing I didn't know before reading the specs, was that the mailbox name can be quoted, which then allows VERY strange email address. For example, "% Everyone @ NTCompatible is cool! %"@ntcompatible.com could be (by the specs) a valid email address! I've never seen this before though, and I doubt many mail servers actually support it...

;( Like I said, it must depend on the area, because AT&T in my area doesn't require the MAC address, only the hostname.

Quote: you will also need to clone the MAC address of the computer that you regestered the account with. In the linksys routers its under one of the advanced tabs i believe Not necessarily... In my area at least, AT&T controls access by machine name, not MAC address. I've changed network cards several times (which changes the MAC address), and not had any trouble. But I have to have the machine name to get on, which is something like "a1234567-b" (that's not mine of course). When going through the router, you would now set the linksys to use that hostname rather than your computer. Oh, and just to make sure there's no confusion for the less network savvy people among us: MAC address refers to the unique address of any network device. MAC here stands for Media Access Control, and has nothing to do with Macintosh computers...

The fonts on NTC are defined with fixed values (rather than relative), so IE won't allow dynamic changes. The only thing you can do is disable the custom sizes. On the "General" in "Internet Options", click the "Accessibility..." button for options to override the defined sizes. Someone else was complaining about this earlier, and I think Phillip already has this on his "todo" list...

Start by pressing the power button... If you've already got the brightness and contrast controls on the monitor turned up, then you'll have to make adjustments in software. Many video drivers have gamma controls - see if yours offer anything to adjust. If you post your video card here, people may be able to offer software suggestions to help also...

1) The extra fee is for an extra IP address. Since you are using a router, you only need one IP address, and AT&T has no way of telling how many PC's you have hiding behind that router. 2) Nope - as long as the router is set up as a DHCP server (which they usually are), both the Mac and the PC should pick up IP's and get out on the internet just fine. Now if you want to start sharing files between them, well, that may be a whole other issue.

Superdisk was an attempt to update the old floppy interface, in competition with zip disks. It is a 120 MB removable disk drive that will also read normal 1.44 MB floppies. http://www.superdisk.com/ Now that CD-R(W)'s are so cheap and fast, there's really no need for this sort of drive anymore...

;( I'm just trying to figure out why anyone would want even two or three videos playing at once, let alone 15!

Not true! WinXP Home cannot join a Win2k Domain, but it works just fine for normal workgroup-based sharing. Just make sure they all have the same workgroup name... Win2k defaults to "WORKGROUP", while WinXP defaults to "MSHOME".

Wow, I wish I could find a place like that for that price in Boulder...

Cool, I'm glad that worked... it was a shot in the dark, but weird experiences like that tend to stick with you...

I have seen this once before when installing Macromedia Homesite... a bug in the installer used to make a folder in the "Common Files" folder called "Macromedia " (note the space). Windows won't let you add a trailing space, but if one somehow gets created like that, Windows will freak out. This may or may not be the problem in your case, but I'll explain how that was fixed anyway... First, open a command prompt in the folder containing the rogue folder. Type "dir /x", and you should see a line that looks like this: Code: 12/12/2002 09:29 AM <DIR> STUPID~1 Stupid Persistant Folder (Of course your folder name is different ) The way to go here is to rename the folder using its 8.3 name, and then you can deal with it like normal. So do a "ren STUPID~1 newname", and now you should be good to go. Hope this helps...
