Hi, any electronic device when you use it for a long time it would in increase the temporature. For example TV, if you use and turn it off and after that you move it to any location (move because the TV is on the movable table) during the time that it steal hot, it would become easy to broken because the internal schema is hot and easy to disconnect from each other. Is the above statement is true? I do not have any reference or document about that, it just a comment from my friend. If the above statement is true, how about the tablet PC? People use it at school, during the time it turn on its internal schema would become hot and people use it on the hand and move around in the class. Is it easy to broken?

No, it's not.
What will kill the electronics more than anything is their own heat. Expansion and contraction from it's own heat will put more stress on the internals of the components than any moving of the device while it's "warm".

Thank you very much Dave!

Here is what I concern, when the device become hot, does the schema of an electronic device become soft? (soft mean: like we use the fire to burn the metal until it melt). If it is become hot, then the schema easy to become disconnect from each other if the device are move around. This is what i mean, hope to see further comment.

Do you have any idea what this word really means? If not, click[^].

If it gets hot enough, anything becomes soft. But, by the time the internals of an electronic device become soft, they would have long since failed.

CPU aside, nothing in the PC gets hot enough while operating to be of any concern. Mine runs at an internal temperature of about 33C, far too cool to melt anything inside (or even soften it). The CPU, if operated without a heat sink can get hot enough to destroy itself, but even then it will not get soft. Plastic parts nearby may melt, but movement will not cause the problem - heat will, and then only in a severely misconfigured system with no CPU cooling.
If the inside of a device ever got hot enough to cause parts to soften, the electronic functions of the system would have failed long before that event. Semiconductor devices are very sensitive to heat, and are destroyed by temperatures much lower than any that would cause structural weakening of the physical hardware.

Absolutely not true, unless the device is already broken internally. Heat will kill electronics, as will enough shock, but I assume you mean normal movements, not drop kicks across the room.
Jerky movements of a running device that includes moving components (a disk drive still in use, for instance) can cause damage, but powered off even laptop PCs are quite durable, hot or cold.

I do not mean drop, just a normal movement. I also have some more question to ask, please check here.[^]

In WIndows 2000 where is the option to calabrate a UBS joystick.
The Joystick works OK, but ranges a bit out!

|
|
|
|
control panel > system > hardware > device manager
get the joystick, go to his properties, and there, there might be a calibrate button...

Did not find anything.
When searching for new h/w did see a USB Human Interface Device, but no options for calabrations.

In 2000, it's the Gaming Options control panel. If you don't have any drivers, or incorrect drivers, installed for the Joystick, it won't show up in this panel. Try the manufacturer's website for updated drivers.

Hi, does any one know how to activate the virus scan (suppose norton) to scan the flash drive everytime that i insert the flash drive to my computer USB port? The problem is when some one borrow my laptop they did not scan their flash drive and some flash drive contain virus that could be harmful to my laptop. Auto protect option is not meet what i need.

Can any one please help me in giving me a program that will backup the settings of the users of the system. If not API then, any existing EXE or a DLL in the windows .

What do you mean by setting of the user of the system? Do you mean the user profile of the user, if so try to log on as admin and copy the folder of user profile to any other back up devices. After you have fix the problem then you need to copy it back from the the backup device.
Note:
- You need to logon the user for first time to create the user profile folder before you replace the user profile with the one that you backup.
- During the time that you backup and restore the user profile make sure the user already log off the session.

I want API through which I can backup the settings of a user.

backing up is a file copying task, nothing more. You can do it he same way you copy any other files from one location to annother. Using NTFS you need administrator (backup admin?) rights to the machine in question.

I just downloaded a copy of Windows Vista Beta 1, but the only available computer I have to install it on has 240MB of RAM, and the install keeps aborting because it says it needs 256. Does anyone know if there is anyway to force the install to continue even though I don't have the amount of RAM it wants? Is there a way to fool the install into thinking I acutally have that amount of RAM?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

if it need 256 Mo, it need at least 256...
virtual memory don't exist at installation time of an Operating System as the HardDisk is not formated (not even partitionned maybe).
what happens when you overrun the memory capacity using windows is that the system uses the Hard disk as an extra storage place. here it is impossible.
so, no, it is not possible. if you want to install Vista, add some RAM in your PC... (and if you really want to see it running smoothly, you'll have to place much more RAM for it !!!)

In my opinion, i think this solution is not possible. You must install enough memory during the time that you need to install windows.

You need a minimum of 256MB to install it, no exceptions!
If you want to actually run the thing without waiting 2 minutes for the system to respond to a mouse click, install 512MB or more.

Hallo.
Help me please.
I'd like to write a toolkit that would allow to work with fingerprint device. Such functions as getting the finger image from the device, matching with other, save in database etc.
I have a device and driver for it.
Maybe you can give some tips what to do for achieving this.
I've disassembled the driver's "*.dll"s and found functions that might be necessary, but I don’t know how to work with them...
