I once had a problem like this and it was caused by my firewall(Norton internet security 2007) blocking internet explorer from connecting to the internet.
So check to see whether it is a firewall blocking your browser from connecting.

I've wasted the entire day so far trying to get XP to install and boot off of a new 300Gb Maxtor drive. I've chosen the default partition size of the entire drive, installed XP SP2, and XP hangs on the initial post-installation boot.
I tried formatting the drive with the Maxtor utility with the same results. Then I tried installing Win2K, which worked, but only allowed me access to a 137Mb partition, which is a known behavior.
I'm about to haul this drive back to Fry's to trade in for a different manufacturer, but I thought it might be a good idea to ask the gurus here if this is a known issue.
Thanks,

I had a similar problem once, it was because my BIOS didn't recognize large drives and therefor installed Windows on a 150Mb partition instead of the full 300. What I had to do was update my BIOS and then reinstall once more. The BIOS then recognized the entire drive and installed properly.

Thanks for the information M/C. I checked the motherboard (EliteGroup 848P-A) manufacturer's web site and none of their suppport links work. This board is only two years old, so I'm surprised that a) the BIOS don't support big drives, and b) the manufacturer doesn't seem to be supporting this board anymore. It looks like it's time for a new motherboard Or maybe it's time to build a new computer.
Thanks again for your suggestion.

Well, my solution was pretty simple. It was clearly the BIOS, so I bought a new mo-bo that was on sale with an Intel 2.6Ghz duo-core processor. $640 later for 2Gb of DDR2, a 500Gb HD for the same price as the 300, a new case, and a super deal on a $20 DVD writer (after rebate) and I've got a brand new screaming system. After the shopping spree, it only took a couple of hours of (very cautious) assembly. The old system has now replaced my ancient Win98 home-use computer, which is now sitting in the recycling pile. I'm a very dude and the new system is very

IN windows Xp there is a command Runas /user <appln> .The password can be entered only when asked.
Is there any way to give the password also with the Runas command?

Nope. How secure would it be if you could type your password in clear text on the command line?

No Dave - iam not giving it directly from command prompt. Iam calling the command in a VBS file thro my VC++ program.
IT works
Option explicit
dim oShell
set oShell= Wscript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
oShell.Run "runas /user:administrator ""PrintArt.exe"""
WScript.Sleep 100
'Replace the string yourpassword~ below with
'the password used on your system. Include tilde
oShell.Sendkeys "yourpassword~"
Wscript.Quit

How much do you want to bet you're not?
This has some problems because you're waiting 100 (0.1) seconds, then sending the keys. What if the window takes longer than that to show up?? You just typed your password into another window, possibly Notepad?? Nice...you just typed your password, in clear text, into a TextBox.

Why???? Why not just do the same thing in your VC++ app where you'll have much greater control?

That's a nasty hack for something that you should be able to code in about 30 minutes.

Nope. I haven't touched C++ in quite a while. But, the functions are in the Win32 library. You're looking for CreateProcess, probably FindWindow, SendMessage, maybe even WriteConsole.

Hi,
I setup two NICs on a machine. After the setup i tested both the cards and they were working fine.
I attempted to swap the properties of the connections and restarted the computer.
Now, the machine is not recognizing any of the Network connection. Also, the 'Network Connections' is not opening.
What might be the problem with the system? Any way to restore back to old configuration?
Will be grateful if anyone can help me in this issue.
Thanks in advance,
Murali

What version of windows are you using? Xp,Vista?
MuraliKumarD wrote: I setup two NICs on a machine.
Did you make a backup before you did this? If you are changing anything that is important to the configuration of windows then you would always want to make a backup of the configuration of windows using system restore, etc.
MuraliKumarD wrote: Any way to restore back to old configuration?
Yep, System restore. (But you have to of made a backup for this to work)
MuraliKumarD wrote: Also, the 'Network Connections' is not opening.
Most likely the NIC cards have been disabled.
To check whether windows can find the NIC cards Goto:
'Control panel'>> 'Add hardware'
'Add hardware wizard' opens, click next, and it will search for any new hardware (ie. the NIC Cards).
Have you searched on google for people that may have had the same problem?
This would be the first place I would look after Start>> 'help and support'.
Is 'Network connections' shown in the control panel?
In Windows XP:
The 'network connections' in the control panel is called
ncpa.cpl (the .cpl means it is a Control Panel extension, eg it is displayed in the control panel)
Hope this helps

Hey,
I am trying to write a program that will run on about 40 computers at my work to monitor the processes. The way I would like to do it is run a small program in the background that receives notifications events from the kernel every time a process is created or terminated and then reports the information to a server computer. I am able to handle the communication with the server fine, but the receive notification events is causing me a bit of trouble. I have been trying to use http://www.codeproject.com/threads/procmon.asp <-- this example to do just that but it does not always report the process name, sometimes only the process id. If anyone is able to give me an example that works or point me in the write direction would be great.
Thanks in advance

You will need to be running Windows 2000 Server or 2003 Server - the workstation products cannot run AD.
