Can anyone tell me why my BIOS reports 512MB RAM and Windows Reports 511MB RAM?
This happens on my Win 98 machine at home, I'm running Windows 2000 at work but I haven't had a chance to confirm if it has the same behavior.
I hesitate to mention that I've looked on MSDN and not found anything because I know as soon as I do, someone will post a link to the appropriate information

Well, Windows XP Professional reports 512MB (BIOS) and 512MB (Windows). I wonder if this is a Windows 9x issue?

Well on my machine at work,
Windows2k is shows 522,544 KB (535085056 bytes)
512MB = 524288 KB = 536870912 bytes
536870912-535085056 = 1785856 (1744 KB)
a little math shows that 1744KB are missing, somewhere.
now i would expect the reverse (640K on the mother board).
So unless windows is finding bits that are defective and removing them
(the pages they are in?) from the memory pool, i can not explain it.

Its cause of the difference in taking 1 MB as 1024 KB and as 1000 KB. I think so anyway.

A logon script is basically a batch file, VBScript file ( i think u can use them or an executable. Just remember that Win9x clients can't run batch files with a .cmd extension.
The best way of doing it is ethier attach the script to each user individually using the Active Directory User Manager or using the group policy editor and move the users into the appropriate users into that group. Once done you can attach logon / logoff scripts to the whole group.
I seem to remember that the Win2k server help had a little information on doing it - thats how I worked it out anyways.

If all clients in a LAN are assigned an IP address from a DHCP server,how can I enumerate ip address of all clients connecting to the server?
I can not use broadcasting.

I am having an intermittent problem with an application that 'hangs' and thought that the PWALK Platform SDK tool would help me debug things.
However although I got the project to compile it doesn't seem to work. I am running on NT 4 and there is an MSDN article that suggests this only works in 16 bit land. Has anyone got this to work on NT, or has used an equivalent tool?

I know from all the standard written works of art that the Windows API knows about such things as WM_LBUTTONDOWN and WM_RBUTTONUP, but there are three-button desk rodents out there. Does the API define WM_MBUTTONDIDDLE or some such equivalent?
|
|
|
|
|
There's WM_MBUTTONxxx for the middle button (#3), and WM_XBUTTONxxx for all buttons after the third. The WM_XBUTTONxxx messages send an id to indicate which button was pressed.

Is there any way for an application which runs as a console app (i.e. command line application) to detect that the DOS BOX he runs in, is closing?
i.e. click on the little x?

There is a way, I know that icecast shuts down properly when the x is clicked. check out the icecast source at www.icecast.org

Well, you see, I've been using my good ol' comp since the days of Win95. Unfortunately, now with WinME, my system folder is still called Win95. I was thinking of simply renaming the folder to WINDOWS, but realized how risky that might be. Anyone have any tips for me to change the folder name AND avoid shortcut problems etc.?
Everyone welcome the NewbiE!!!!

you could try changing the %SystemRoot% variable at startup. This way windows programs would not be missing much i think. .lnk shortcuts will have to be updated though.

when are we gonna see some new MS WinXP visual themes. Currently there is only Luna and windows Default. MS have all the resources to make 'skins' for XP but so far none are released. The defauult themes are located in C:\Windows\resources\themes.

Buy MS Plus for XP and you can get some. Kind of a ripoff for what you get though.

There's a program in beta called StyleBuilder XP, its shareware $20, it does XP themes.
TGT Soft they also make StyleXP for preview/applying XP Themes. I prefer its interface over the XP interface simply because i can switch color styles on the same page

GASP !
for some reasons I forgot to remove the Write enable option from my Win2K ftp site and .... bhooomm ! Some weird people thought to put some files on my ftp server. Now, the problem is they created the files in an empty name folder
(actually is a folder containing only one blank space in its name).
Now what ? I cannot remove the folder !
Does anyone have any clues to give me how to remove this folder ?
thanks
PS : i'm using Win2K SP2 with NTFS

The most likely cause was that the directory was renamed with the ascii alt-code for space which is (ALT+255). If you ftp in you should be able to type in rmdir ALT+255 to delete the directory.
Hope this helps ..

Hi guys,
I'm doing a ::PostMessage() to a window via a worker thread. The documentation for ::PostMessage() says that if the post succeeds, then the return value is nonzero. However, sometimes I get a zero result, and then I check the GetLastError() and this returns 0 as well (I'm assuming this means "no error", as the docs say nothing about this). I know the window handle I'm posting to is valid. What is going on?
Thanx
