Re: To WinXP or not WinXP... that is my question Roger Wright25-Oct-02 21:56 Roger Wright 25-Oct-02 21:56  You shouldn't have any problem with it, and you might find some benefit for development purposes. I despise WinXP as a platform, but that's for esthetic reasons (the GUI sux) and matters of principle (the licensing model). But it is quite functional, and is sufficiently different from Win2K that there are some times when the differences could cause problems with the products you design. You currently are running a Win2K Server farm - it would benefit you to have at least one XP host to build and test your apps on. The power management features of XP I can't comment on - it works on desktops well enough, but I can't afford a laptop and have no experience with it. Win2K does an excellent job of power management, and XP appears to extend this capability - I'd go ahead and risk it...

I've used XP Server on the same laptop with no problems, but needed a Win2k Server environment, and that's why my desktop now runs XP. As a dev. platform, XP is fine, I just kill all the themes so it looks almost identical to Win2k. (There are plenty of sites out there that give you tips on speeding up any Windows OS.) As far as power management: never had a problem. Works like a charm. -- ian http://www.ian-space.com/ tracking intruder Martin Blanc21-Oct-02 23:21 Martin Blanc 21-Oct-02 23:21  When I came back from my holidays, I found someone used my computer (Windows NT) and besides others, installed there 'something'. There were remains of InstallShield (_delis43.ini, Zdata51.dll, _ins5176._mp) in a TEMP directory. My question is how can I find out what activities were performed on my computer. Will you give me a hint where and how I should look for them. Regards, Martin Re: tracking intruder Daniel Turini22-Oct-02 0:07 Daniel Turini 22-Oct-02 0:07  look at the browser's history and list all files accessed/modified on a specific date range. If you have XP/Me you can look at System Restore's snapshots too.

Most installers leave an audit trail behind them. I've been playing with this myself today, and discovered quite a few attempts to hack into my system. None succeeded, and all returned 550 and 404 errors, but I'm planning to send each and every one of my admirers a personalized copy of BackOrifice as soon as I can get around to it.

It's a brilliant software firewall, and what's more, it's free. I've always heard that there was an idea behind Win ME... I still can't figure out what that was... anyboy know??? I;ve herad the idea was that it was supposed to be n operating system but I doubt this. - Brian Delahunty Re: tracking intruder Roger Wright1-Nov-02 20:57 Roger Wright 1-Nov-02 20:57  Buy the Pro version, Megan - it's cheap, and so much nicer!

I have the server setup on my network, but when I go to "Register New Server" within Enterprise Agent, it's not listed. It's listed in the Win2k ODBC Admin tools (where you setup DSN's), but not within Enterprise Agent. There is a server showing up, but it is not mine. There are about 30 or so SQL server's out there (which, again, are listed where you setup ODBC in Win2K), but only one of these are showing up with I go to register a new server. What are some of the possible problems? I have verified protocol setup of TCP/IP for both server and client. Any help is appreciated!
