I am looking for a solution that will prevent resources (HTML and images) from theft.
I want to be able to have administrate the "system" so that text and photos can be viewed for only a limited amount of time (that I determine) while disabling common options like "View Source", "Save As", "Print" etc.
Does anyone know of a solution that can prevent content piracy?

It's still a web site. You simply cannot stop a determined individual from writing their own HTTP client (very easy with the WinInet library). Or there's always telnet:
telnet www.codeproject.com 80
GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: www.codeproject.com
<cr>
<cr> and the server starts spewing HTML at you.

After using my computer for few hours svchost.exe uses a lot of processor time on Windows XP. When I kill it, it respawns and behave properly. Is it a "feature" of Windows XP or did I something wrong  ?

To see what it is doing, in a "DOS" box type the following
tasklist /SVC
tasklist /FI "PID eq processID"
For some help
tasklist /?
this may help you to track down which process is at "fault"

Ev'ning All (OK, so I mean Roger, but I'm in a nice mood. The wife will be driving to a family wedding tomorrow, so I can get pissed as a maggot at the reception  ).
My computer has started freezing (I need to press the power or reset button to have any effect on it) at random times. It can be a matter of seconds after Windows has started or an hour or so later after I have performed many tasks.
I don't believe it is the hardware on the computer as I have been in Knoppix now for over 2 hours with no problems. Looking through the Event Viewer shows no problems and I haven't installed any new hardware, drivers or patches in the past week or two. It took me 7 reboots yesterday to read 26 emails in Outlook using IMAP. Frustrating doesn't begin to describe it.
Wednesday I was downloading the latest Knoppix release while I was at work. My wife decided to use my computer (the effort of pressing her power button must have been too much). After she finished surfing the net she shut it down. At this point it froze. She then rang me and I got her to power it off. When I got home I powered on no problem then set the Knoppix download off while I went to bed. In the morning all was well, MD5'd the ISO and then burn't it to CD. Wasn't till that night that sh*t started happening.
I have NAV 2003 installed with latest sigs, can't get machine up long enough to scan. Any ideas?

Err, check seating of all add-in cards, check CPU temperature, check CPU fan working?
If that doesn't help anything, try booting up in safe mode (hold Ctrl before boot screen appears) and see if it stays up longer. If it does, probably some driver or service is running that shouldn't be.
Could it be NAV itself that's the problem? Perhaps the latest signature set has broken something. Modern anti-virus products on Windows NT/2000/XP/Server 2003 use a file system filter driver to process file requests for the on-access scanner.

I had something like this happen to me a couple of years ago. The machine would intermittently hang for no apparent reason. I did eventually determine that one of my memory chips had gone bad. Of course it would only crash when the system addressed a specific address so it didn't happen all the time.
I'd get a diagnostics program and make sure your memory is OK.
Same thing could be true if you have a bad sector on your HD, so ChkDsk it.

What OS is it? Win98 (both editions) was famous for this, especially on shut down. I've never seen a definitive analysis of the cause, so I suspect there are multiple flaws in the OS that can result in a freeze up. Installing NAV almost always destroys a Win98 machine, but since you've had it running successfully for a while before this started it is most likely innocent this time. New signature files are just data, and don't have any effect on the program code.
Most of the freezing problems I've run into have been resolved by re-installing various devices. It's a long process to isolate them, but the procedure is to disable devices in Device Manager, one at a time, rebooting each time, until the system runs for a long time without failing. If this isolates a problem device, remove it and re-install it. If not, re-install Windows.
Sorry if this isn't particualrly helpful, but this is the kind of problem that really needs to be fiddled with personally for me to diagnose properly.

Have it installed on two Win98 machines, and they've done fine.

A few people have had very good luck with it, but not me, nor any others I've met around here. When it is preinstalled as part of an OEM package, it usually works well, too. But never as an addon, and the huge database of workarounds and fixes Symantec maintains is good evidence that my experience isn't unique.

Windows XP Professional SP1 with all the fixin's.
It's been runing perfectly since I installed it 3 or so months ago. It could still be something in the hardware area, though since Knoppix 3.2 has been able to run for hours at a time I think it is more Windows specific. Could also be a driver but I doubt that as nothing has changed.
Only thing is my wife shutting down the computer while it was still downloading and creating the first freeze point.
I have more than enough space to install another installation of Windows. I will probably do this before blowing away my may installation.

Before installing a fresh copy of Windows, try using System Restore to roll it back to Tuesday, before this started happening. I did one this week with similar problems, except that there were also significant files completely missing from WInXP - in that case, the Restore function was one of the missing files, so a full reinstallation was the only hope. Perhaps yours isn't so far gone.

Done and it's working as perfectly as a Windows computer can.

My computer just started doing this  I'm running a scandisk right now to see if thats part of the problem. I guess I'll just have to use System Restore

My computer has started doing this occasionally again yeaterday. What I have noticed (months ago and now) is when I am using Outlook 2002 to connect to my email via IMAP I get this hanging. Using Kmail under Knoppix 3.3 for hours at a time caused no problem or POP3 and Outlook. Has me confused still.

I think my problem was a bad IDE Controller driver, which was related to my attempts at getting a ATI TV Tuner to work. The problem really showed up when I tried defragmenting the HD  I reinstalled windows and it seems to be working so far.

I have an IMAP account I access with Outlook 2002 too  I can't wait until 2003 comes out.

It sounds like the IMAP implementation in Outlook 2002 is not quite ready for prime time.  I've never used it, since all the ISPs I've ever used or seen are strictly POP3. I wonder if that's a US thing, or just this area?

I am only using IMAP because thats what my school email is available in IMAP.

I used Outlook 2003 Beta for a while and it is quite improved.

need c++ code for calculating the memory usage!
can someone help me in this regard!

You can get some info from GlobalMemoryStatus(...) but it just gives you, as you might guess from the name, the status of the global memory... it won't tell you how much a particular process is using.
|
|
|
|

why not simply give a call to pgrep (if you are using a *NIX system). You could have pgrep dump to a temp file, then parse it to get out whatever information you need.
Of course, this solution really cuts down on portability...
Otherwise, to have an approximation of the memory used, if it's a small program, you could use sizeof() and your variables... You'll be missing the memory usage for the program itself though, as far as I see it.

With the advent of Win XP's fast user switching you can now get multiple users logged onto a single machine.
The problem I run into in a multi-user environment is that they don't bother to log off again.. which really stresses the virtual memory of my machine.
Is there a way to 1) determine which users are currently logged on and 2) figure out how long they've been idle, and 3) selectively log them off if they haven't been doing anything?

Hello Everybody,
Can anybody provide me the soft copy of the book "UNIX NETWORK PROGRAMMING Vol I - by STEVENS".
Unfortunately this book is presently not available in bookstores here and I need it desperately.
Pls tell me on my personal id also if anybody can help me.
I will create the sufficient space in the account.
Thanx and Regards,

Hi,
I would like to know something about the workgroup configuration. When a group of computer are configured for a work group configuration then is it possible somehow to manage those computers remotely from some other computer using the Local Administrators user name and password? How are the computers configured for the work group configurations be seen from a network supporting domain configuration. Can somebody help me in this regard?
Any reference material provided or any link will be of great help.
Thanks
Abhishek.

There is no domain in a workgroup - just individual hosts in the workgroup. Products like PCAnywhere allow you to administer individual hosts remotely. If you're using XP the Remote Management functions may allow you to isolate individual hosts in the workgroup if each host's local administrtor logon is known, but I haven't yet tried it out.
