What is the minimum and maximum size for the Virtual Memory in WinXP and Win2000
and other Windows in general?

Maximum size for Virtual memory is how much free space you have on C:\
And minimal size it depends, how much RAM you have and what process you are running.

Well, not exactly. A quick calculation is your physical RAM + the size of all swap files.

I think you made a mistake with this calculation.

My guess is that you can only use 4096 MB since that is all that is addressable with your processor (32Bit ~= 4 Gig). I bet you can make it quite a bit higher on a 64 Bit machine

This is normally done on the firewall, not the PC.
Putting the burden on the PC, depending on your environment, can be a pain at best, and a total nightmare at worst.
This is because the amount of administration in a workgroup environment with no roaming profiles will force you to make the change for the user on each and every PC that the person logs onto.
In a domain environment, with Group Policies in effect, it's better, but is still a pain because of the maintenance of the denied list and making sure that the policies are set up correctly.
The best way to do it is a firewall where the user needs to authenticate to the firewall to get to an outside site. This way you just need to make the change in one place and not worry about the configuration of the machines themselves.

Please, use a Proxy-server with an URL Filter like Squid or Webwasher/Websense. Squid is for free, btw.

I have a Windows XP Professional but whenever I was trying to open my computer with a right click it shows an error. MMC requires Internet Explorer 5.5 or greater to be installed.
Please tell me how can I install greater. I was trying to installed IE6 but it says you have a latest version al:(ready installed.
thanx....vim

do you really have IE6 installed? check the version
also, go to the windows update site & get all the latest patches

XP comes with IE 6 installed already. You can't have any lower versions installed.
The problem doesn't appear to be a documneted issue with Microsoft. I would try scanning your machine for spyware/viruses and removing as much as possible.

I have a machine that for no apparent reason started ringing the bell, like a railway crossing signal but a bit faster. This happened before and when I moved it to my lab to take a look inside the box it decided to work without my doing anything except move some wires around so I could feel if any of the various connectors were loose. This leads me to believe that it is a loose connector but I don’t know which.
The ringing starts when there is normally a single beep but doesn’t stop and the boot doesn't progress to where anything is written to the screen. I did swap the video driver with one I know to work on another machine and that was not the problem. I disconnected boards one by one but that didn't have any effect either.
What is the absolute first thing to happen after the single bell sounds when a machine is booting before anything is written to the screen?
Does anyone have similar experiences and can suggest what the most probable cause of this problem is?
Thanks for any advice you can give me.

It sounds like your machine hung during the boot. The sound card just started playing the same sound over and over again because it wasn'ttold to stop or wasnt given anything else to do.
Do you have any "inflated" capacitors on you motherboard? Google for "Capacitor plague" for what I'm talking about.

Thanks, I wasn't aware of this problem. I'll have to take a good look at the MB and power supply.
Do you happen to know where I can locate a writeup on MB test points? I am just getting back into diagnosing hardware, after many years, but do not have the engineering specs for the boards I need to check out.

It is also possible that the cause is a hardware failure. Check your PC or motherboard manual for error codes. Error conditions are indicated by different beep patterns.

You're really not going to find anything useful. This stuff is proprietary to the manufacturer for each design. No-one publishes the stuff.

I came across the following syntax in a batch file (runs on XP, probably on any NT version)
type filename.ext || echo error
The result is that if filename.ext exists, its contents are listed, but if it doesn't, the second command (echo error) is executed
The same is true of any command other than type and echo, meaning that the part after || is executed only if the first command fails.
This feels like an incredibly stupid question, but what exactly does || do? I know that | is the pipe operator... 
Seaching the web came up with this wonderful site which gives all kinds of batch file examples & tips, but I can't find the above
http://www.robvanderwoude.com/[^]
This is off topic, but I even found out that it is now possible to write subroutines in batch files, using call :label & goto :eof  ...

 Conditional Commands
When an internal command or external program finishes, it returns a result called the exit code. Conditional commands allow you to perform tasks based upon the previous command's exit code. Many programs return a 0 if they are successful and a non-zero value if they encounter an error.
If you separate two commands by && (AND), the second command will be executed only if the first returns an exit code of 0. For example, the following command will only erase files if the BACKUP operation succeeds:
[c:\] backup c:\ a: && del c:\*.bak;*.lst
If you separate two commands by || (OR), the second command will be executed only if the first returns a non-zero exit code. For example, if the following BACKUP operation fails, then ECHO will display a message:
[c:\] backup c:\ a: || echo Error in the backup!
All internal commands return an exit code, but not all external programs do. Conditional commands will behave unpredictably if you use them with external programs which do not return an explicit exit code. To determine whether a particular external program returns a meaningful exit code use an ECHO %? command immediately after the program is finished. If the program's documentation does not discuss exit codes you may need to experiment with a variety of conditions to see how the exit code changes. Note that this is backwards from the C/Perl meaning of && and ||, because in DOS, 0 = succes but in C, 0 = failure.

so it is the logical OR operator. wonder why it doesn't appear anywhere in cmd.exe's help (or maybe I missed it...)
thank you!

which is why main() used to return 0 on success in old DOS programs... 
[edit] not only in DOS but all programs. using MFC made me forget that.[/edit]
kind of confusing, isn't it...
4NT[^] looks useful. I'm looking in to that too. Thanks again!

do you mean, like a separator page at the beginning of each print job? that can be done in the printer's settings in control panel

I doubt the OS provides a standard setting to do this...

Hi, could you explain more detail about that? Because I don't know what you want to do with printing.

I have installed WS 2003 and applied sp1 from the MSDN CD. I have not activate it yet and I like to use my VLK. When I try the new key it tells me that it is an invalid key. How can I change it?
