Strange, the option is there in Kazaa Lite (K++) 2.1.0. I guess they may have removed the option in the newer versions.

Recent versions of Kazaa Lite (K++) have the option in: Options -> More options... -> K++ Options -> Hide system tray icon

Actually there is a simple trick that will enable you to use printscreen on a movie. You need to open 2 media player windows. Easiest way is: Start -> Run -> 'mplayer2.exe' Load up a video clip into it. Start up the media player that you use (if you use WMP 6.4 then you can use the options to allow you to open more than one instance of the player instead). Load the video clip you want to grab from into it. Press PrintScreen Because of the way overlays work, if you take a screenshot, the first player you load will appear with no image in, but the other will actually grab correctly.

This is a symptom of the new worm going around that exploits the DCOM RPC vulnerability that Microsoft warned about several weeks ago.

Three friends of mine were hit by this worm today (writeup). Because the worm appears to be quite badly written, it's apparently causing repeated crashing of svchost.exe on their machines though none of them had experienced a remote shutdown message like the previous posters.

The most sensible solution would be to have the Server use an IP address in the range 192.168.0.x like the rest of them and then set up port forwarding on the router to map whichever ports the server is hosting services on (eg. 80 for HTTP, 21 for FTP) through to the server's IP. This is assuming the router lets you do this (it really should).

The people at http://forums.qhimm.com/ will almost certainly be able to help you with your sound-related issues...

Ok, please confirm that you have installed the upside-down movie patch - you want that, not the directshow drivers off the cd. This has worked for everyone else I have talked to. Other than that, I really have no other suggestions.

The only fix I know of is to install the upside-down movie patch which you say you've already done... I just uploaded my saved games to http://www.ffseven.com/saves.php

Make sure you have not ticked the NVIDIA box in the FF7 Configuration utility. Doing so under Windows NT does not work. Also, I tried it just now and my APP.LOG ended in the same way (repeated "TEXTURE LOADED INTO VIDEO MEMORY")

http://www.ffseven.com/faq.php In particular, install the movie patch (it's a newer version of the video codec provided in the DirectShow drivers package). Also, try installing the Cetra utility (from http://ficedula.cjb.net/) and enabling debug mode.

Yes, support for browsers other than IE would be nice, and should be perfectly possible for the corporate downloads section, but for WindowsUpdate "standard", an ActiveX control is used to determine which updates your computer needs, and as yet (to the best of my knowledge) no other browser fully supports ActiveX controls (though efforts are being made to provide ActiveX support for Mozilla).

Quote: Oh, ok... I think you mean the "Corporate Downloads" section @ MS, & guys who are network administrators here no doubt have that link... http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp?corporate=true will do the job.

That would defeat the point of wanting to do a clean install would it not? Anyway, in future, if you want to keep the downloads from windows update, you can download them from http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp?corporate=true

Quote: I already try all patch (Nvidia , movie, chocobo) ... And the application compatibility toolkit? It won't work without it in Win2k.

Quote: Okay. Can someone please take the time and explain to me STEP BY STEP what to do to get Final Fantasy VII to run in Win2000? What program exactly it is that I need to download (there's 2 different compatibility toolkits available), what other patches I might need, and most important: what exactly I have to do with the toolkit. I read through all of this, tried all of this, but still it doesn't work. Perhaps it is because I am no 1337 Windows-pro and therefore have ABSOLUTELY no clue about what to do with this Application Toolkit thingy. The game starts, and after the intro (which is displayed upside down for some obscure reason) the game crashes. More exactly the game crashes when the first character tries to do an attack. So please, can anyone help me? The first place you should check out is the Eidos Interactive support page for FF7. Specifically, this page: http://www.eidosinteractive.com/support/patchinfo.html?ptid=16 which will cure your upside-down movie problem (also solves most other movie problems that people have had) and this one: http://www.eidosinteractive.com/support/patchinfo.html?ptid=54 which updates the graphics support. The game crashes are slightly harder to deal with. There's a fairly reasonable guide to solving this at http://www.ffseven.com/faq.php Finally to fix the crashing on the chocobo races you'll need this patch: http://www.qhimm.com/ff7_chocobo_patch.zip

Quote: 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 - Class B non-routable 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 - Class C non-routable Actually, if I remember my networking classes correctly: 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 is Class B, not class C (subnet mask of 255.255.0.0 - 16-bit host id) 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 is a subnet of Class A (subnet mask of 255.240.0.0 - 20-bit host id) (this is possible due to the introduction of subnet masks which effectively superceeded the original A,B,C class distinctions) Quote: BTW, yes I gave the whole range and yes I know that the first and last addresses in the range are generally not usable. Yes, in fact 0 and 255 have special meaning in an IP address. 255 means "broadcast". Sending a packet to 255.255.255.255 will send it to all IPs on the network (note that this is not forwarded by routers so don't think you can just send a packet to everyone on the internet ). Likewise sending a packet to 192.168.255.255 will send it to all IPs on the network that begin with 192.168. 0.0.0.0 means "this host on this net". There are various other special combinations also.

Runs fine for me on Windows XP Pro, GeForce 3 Ti500. Have you tried the suggestions at http://www.ffseven.com/faq.php ? Importantly, make sure you're not enabling "nvidia" mode in the FF7 configuration utility because with recent drivers it's a) not necessary and makes it not work.

You're welcome

Doesn't Control Panel -> User Accounts -> Change the way users log on or off -> Use the Welcome screen work?

Yes it does work.

Thanks APK. I've been wanting something like this for a while so that I can access locally mapped network drives when I don't have the hub turned on.

I'm not aware of anyone else having this particular problem, but if no-one here has a solution, you could try asking on the forums at http://forums.qhimm.com/ (they seem to be quite a helpful bunch ) In fact (quick search later) this thread might be relevant: http://forums.qhimm.com/viewtopic.php?t=1936

Quote: The ONLY thing I don't like is how you have to hack user.js & prefs.js manually to alter your webpage cache location in it. This is done graphically in Mozilla which is simpler (especially for non-nerd techno geek users)... I move mine to a 1gb partition on a CENATEK Ramdrive circuit board for that, & it's still easier to do in Mozilla than Phoenix/Firebird... nitpicking, but I am (lol) entitled to some of that, I get alot of that I have to field myself! apk There is another way, though it's admittedly not much better. Put the url "about:config" in the address bar and you should get a large editable list of prefs including "browser.cache.disk.parent_directory", which I think is the value you are wanting to edit.

To quote some joker from Slashdot.org Quote: download the patch You can download the patch to this bug here: www.mozilla.org [mozilla.org] Please note that this is a pretty bloated patch, but well worth it. And the reply Quote: Do not install this patch I just installed this bloated patch and it has caused nothing but problems: 1. All of my x10 ads are missing. I would like to remain up to date on the advances in wireless webcam technology and x10's implied use on spying on girls without their consent. 2. There is a *major* bug that hides webpages behind other webpages. I found a half-ass fix for now: click on the "tabs" at the top. 3. This patch broke both Comet Cursor and Hotbar. Worse, they're not auto-installing when I visit certain webpages or when I click on my co-workers "Upgrade Outlook for colors and background" emails. 4. My script debugging isn't working anymore. Sure, I have no idea what all that techno-babble means, but I know its broken! 5. Where the heck is msn.com now? As a matter of fact all that is needed to crash IE is one line of code: Code: <input type> Here's some slightly useful information: Quote: IE tries to compare the type of the input field to "HIDDEN", to see if it should be rendered. When there is no type string, a null-pointer is used. mshtml.dll calls shlwapi.dll#158 @ 0x636f0037 with a pointer to a static unicode string "HIDDEN" and a null-pointer. shlwapi.dll#158 does a case-insensitive comparison of two unicode strings: it reads from address 0x0 because of the null-pointer and thus causes an exception. This is not exploitable, other then a DoS because there is no memory mapped @ 0x0 and even if you could load something there, you could only compare it to "HIDDEN" which gets you nowhere. And yes, finally, putting a <body> element in fixes it, but an even more sensible solution is to not leave the "type" tag blank.
