Hi,
I have a problem concerning the startup on a embedded XP system.
It seems the services needed are not yet started before my application runs.
The application needs the services and is placed in the startupfolder, so i thougth all services were started then..
Anyone any idea how i could solve this problem?
if i can hold the application from starting until all services are started then this should do.
Thx in advance.

You could query the status of the services you require, and see if they have started. If you can modify the application, this is probably easiest...

you're probably right... the app already checks for the services, but only ones and gives an message when they are'nt active on startup. So i guess i have to buildin a timeout and poll for the services.
Could we have a situation that the service process is active (see it in task manager) but not started up completely? if yes, i guess then i have to check if the service is in state started or so.
Thx for the response.

Yes you could. The service might also be paused, or stopping, and the process would still be there...

Hi steve,
Sry, i go back to the problem.
I have another app. which i cannot modify and has the same problem.
the program is using 3 services, the XP system has autologin (admin account).

Is there a way to delay the startup?
Thx

You should be able to just put everything you want secured into the SSL channel...

Its no virus. There's a small bar between the web page being viewed and the bottom of the Address bar, or whatever toolbar is lowest. Grab that bar and drag it down as far a it will go. You'll find your Menu Bar behind one of the other toolbars.

Hi, I'm suing QuickBook 2004 for record my business transaction. Now my quick book file reach 40MB since I used for one and a half year. As far as I know Microsoft access has a litmit file size to 2Gb and it won't run if the size keep in crease above 2Gb.
From here I have a question that does QuickBook 2004 limit its file size or not? If its limit its file size, what is the size that it limited?
Thank in advance!

Depends on whether the application was written to be large file aware or not. Many apps can't deal with files bigger than 2GB because they use absolute positioning (API: SetFilePointer) and never supply a high-order DWORD, so limit to 2GB implicitly. Without seeing the source code (which is, let's face it, unlikely) it is hard to tell.

Hi,
I have the following issue:
For an experiment I want to redirect requests from a device to a specific web address to a different system.
It concerns an embedded device that can connect to a number of websites, and for one of them I do want to redirect the traffic to a different server.
As it is an embedded device I cannot change the address or make local adaptations.
E.g. just adding the name of the website to the hosts file is not an option.
Anyone a clue on how this is easily achieved?
For now I have considered the following alternatives:
- run my own DNS server, tell the device to use that one and redirect that website to a different IP address and all other addresses to the "real" dns server. Not really sure if this is possible though (since I might have to serve the complete zone, instead of just redefining the one adddress).
- use modified Socks based proxy for this. Not too sure if I can find sources for this and not too sure if this will work as I am already behind a proxy.
- maybe trick my router (linksys wrt54g) into doing something (not really preferred as I would like a generic solution).
If you have suggestions on what would be the easiest (or see other simpler approaches) please let me know.
Thanks alot, Frans.
PS: this might be off-limits for this forum, but if there is a very simple linux-based solution that is definitely something I'd like to consider.

Found a solution inbetween.
I just set up posadis on a PC.
Posadis is an open source DNS server.
One can simply configure it as a caching DNS server (which just means it redirects DNS requests to another server and caches the results for later usage.
However with posadis it is possible to preload the cache. The original idea is that you could redirect addresses that you do not want to other addresses (e.g. 127.0.0.1). (so a form of blacklisting).
This could also be used to whitelist an address and specify its IP address upfront, which was exactly what I needed.
I installed this on a PC, configured the embedded device to use the DNS server running on the PC and all was set. Only thing I did not manage was to use this in combination with a proxy (as in that case the device immediately sent all its traffic to the proxy).
That was no big deal for me though.

Besides "Oracle OLAP Agent" and "OracleServiceORCL", what other services does Oracle use on Windows?

Thanks, but most of the pages returned by that search I had already visited.

If we disables anonymous access, windows launch an alert box of user name and password for authentication. Can anyone plz tell me that
1- Which mechanism is used by windows to launch this alert or message box
2- Which dll file is called by windows operating system during this authentication mechanism?
Please help me...

It wants you to use Windows Authentication by default if you turn off anonymous access. This is the same thing that happens when you log in to the network. It talks to the domain controller and authenticates you for the network. It (sometimes) asks you again if you try to connect to a server without anonymous access, particularly through a browser.
I do not know which DLLs are responsible for this. You can't hack them anyway. That would be bad...

Is this what it has come down to? Any question about how the system works inside is automatically deemed to be rooted in malicious intentions?
I recently posted a question about how the OS uses the BIOS, and people started assuming I was a virus writer.

No, I'm just saying you'd probably break the system if you tried to change it even slightly. Because Windows doesn't like it... not because it's morally wrong or something.

Your keyword: GINA.

GINA is the name of the subsystem used by XP and previous versions for logging the user onto the system.
Do an MSDN search for GINA and you'll see.
