Make sure to run this: http://www.microsoft.com/Downloads/Release.asp?ReleaseID=33961

That is rather odd, since Galeon runs through the site just fine on my Linux box. Maybe IE is getting hung on the names of the files being pulled down, but that's a wild shot in the dark there. If you do happen to see the site, check out "thecat" on page 25, and see if you can remember what game that was ripped from...

Maybe, but the full version will come with a version of Maya and a bunch of other programming tools for mods and level design (3 CDs from what I read), not to mention the game itself. I would imagine they just want to demo to look its best (not get jacked with) and make sure that people will actually *buy* the full version (novel concept, I know). Should be nice though, I know I am getting it.

OK, first, you don't seem to have any idea on how to use IIS, and performing "trial runs" live on the Internet is exactly how IIS got such a bad name for security issues. Now, do you have *ALL* of the patches and updates? Have you read *any* of the documentation? Assuming those are both "yes", go to the properties of the site, and next to the IP address entry select the "Advanced" button. In there, make sure that you only have "default" and port 80 listed, and nothing (like www.test.com or any other value) in the host header column as that will limit what your site will respond to when a URL is submitted. The preceeding will make sure that you are at the base-level installation and setup for the site. So, do you have any firewalls setup on the workstation (like the built-in one in XP) blocking port 80 from the outside? Have you been able to get traffic to your IP from the outside before, such as in hosting games, ftp sites, ICQ file transfers, etc.? Can they ping you?

LOL, I have one site that I manage that use software from "CAU" for their DME mgmt. It's this crappy COBOL-based program that uses a screwball db and can throw up all kinds of wonderful (and cryptic, and worthless) errors. In any case, have you looked at the printer properties for spool settings? Usually under the "Advanced" tab you'll have the option to start printing after it has been spooled, print while spooling, or print directly to the printer. Just try adjusting those and see if they help.

That would be a good guess. It does sound like you are hardware-related issue. Give that test a shot.

Or just move it to PostgreSQL or MySQL and be done with it for free. MS SQL Server would probably be much easier to use and a lot easier to import the data into (along with link the Access front-end to), but it does cost a bit of money.

You want control? Get Linux. All these complaints about XP being a newbie OS were also layed at the feet of the oh-so-beloved Win2K. Obviously, not many of you remember the hardcores whining about how many wizards there were in Win2K, and how it blocked direct access to almost everything (and btw, it still does). Well, get used to XP kiddies, because if you plan on being in a .NET world (i.e. managing these servers remotely without TS and the like) then XP is the only way to go.

Well, here's a couple of things you could try. First, get the latest MDSC and Jet DB components for the server (if you can do this for the clients, that would be recommended as well) as these dictate the management of data control in the OS. You can get these at www.microsoft.com/data. Next, you could check out this article: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;Q296264& I had a similar issue before with a COBOL-based (ick) application, and adjusting those keys fixed it. For some reason, several workstations would lay claim to the same files/db at the same time and not release, and this addresses that behavior.

OK, get the freebie version of Trillian and use that for MSN IM. Now, all's well...

Looks fine for me in IE6, Mozilla, Nutscrape 6, and Galeon at 1280x1024.

No, there's a better way. Go into Outlook, and go to Tools>Options>Other and at the bottom you will see "Load MS Messenger at startup" (or something like that). Uncheck it, and restart Outlook. This will fix it for ya.

OK, if you happen to see anything just let me know. I will probably scout around a bit to see if I find out anything else on this topic.

I have no idea, but I didn't want you to feel ignored... Actually, I do know that all the places speaking of having proper 3D acceleration enabled talk about nvidia stuff. So, while you might get really good 2D performance with it, I'm not so sure about 3D. This link seems to have some good info on ATI Linux drivers, so it might be worth checking out: http://mirror.ati.com/support/faq/linux....p;cmdNext=GO%21

My truetype directory is indeed all lowercase, and here is XF86Config-4 file: www.asysttech.com/otherfiles/xf86config-4.txt

OK, I have been fiddling around with WINE for a little bit, and I think I must be missing the point. I was under the impression that you could install applications using it, and that its barebones installation would at least allow that. But, is that not the case? I just about crashed the box trying to open a simple exe (not an installer or anything), and I am beginning to wonder about this. I went to www.winehq.com, and it led me to another site with the rpms for it, and I picked up winesetuptk and followed the directions for use over at: http://digilander.libero.it/winehqitalia/ So, am I missing something? Should I be dual booting and installing all this crap on a Windows partition and then mounting that in Linux? I was under the impression I could simply run "winelauncher /mnt/cdrom/setup.exe" but that doesn't seem to be the case, as it crashes out (at best) and locks up the system (at worst).

OK, well I just managed to install NewsBin Pro on my Linux box, and while the install went smoothly (very smoothly) the fonts were all screwed up (surprise) and some of the items couldn't be selected with a mouse properly in order to launch. But, at least I got WINE to do something, so that's a start, right?

So can mold, doesn't make it any good tho... However, I do like it. No, really...

You're trading a card that does work in UT for a card that is having issues already? Not to mention that it's probably a slower card anyway. Is there a special reason that you are looking for such an old card?

Here's the log file. However, I normally go into the command prompt at boot up because of all my "experimentation" with the nvidia drivers as of late...

Yes, I know that's a *vague* error, and if you can point me to a log that would keep this kind of info I'll be more than glad to post it.

Are they in the same workgroup? If so, use an admin-level account and try \\computername\c$ and see what that does for you.

140+ at 1024x768@32bit in flyby 50+ at 1024x768@32bit in botmatch I don't use the other resolutions on this machine, so I didn't care about them.

Wow, I think that these actually work. However, I brought a rather large amount of fonts over from my Windows install, and I don't see even a tenth of them in OpenOffice (which you already mentioned that you weren't entirely too sure how it would behave) and AbiWord will no longer start as it's looking for "Nimbus Roman Regular". Any thoughts on correcting this? I don't even know where the original font would be, and I thought about just reinstalling the app. Also, I didn't have the "mkfontalias.py" file, but I did have the other components installed. So, I put a link to the file itself below for anyone else that might not have it. http://home.c2i.net/dark/mkfontalias.py

This came in my MyITForum newsletter, and I thought I would pass it along. I think someone asked about a free one a long time ago, so, here it is. http://www.theabsolute.net/sware/dskinv.html
