It's no wonder your PC has been slowing down! You've got a Celeron! Oh man I feel sorry for you. Next time, get a P4, or something else, but the worst you can get is a Celeron. Even AMD is better.

On the site you have written a program that will ID the Operating system. Can I use this to scan my entire Network,and if so will it work in ID'ing all different operating systems?
Thank You,

Hi all. I've got a user whose running Windows 2000, SP3. She was attacked by a Trojan called Download.Trojan that reset her IE home page, and installed the following files on her PC under WinNT\System32, including a batch file to download these files off the net, and execute them:
install2.exe
infamous_downloader.exe
0021-bdl94126.EXE
CS4P028.exe
silent.exe
I deleted the files, and reset her IE home page, but now she can't connect to the internet at all. She can browse the network, check her Exchange email from Outlook, and such. She just can't browse the internet. I reinstalled SP3, deleted and reinstalled her TCP/IP connection, and even tried giving her a static IP address (normally, our users have dynamically assigned IP's).
Anybody familiar with this?
Thanks in advance.

Have you tried clearing the cache in IE? Delete all temporary files, cookies, and any offline content; sometimes this restores IE to a working state after an infection is cleared out.
Some people think of it as a six-pack; I consider it more of a support group.

Yup, tried all that. End solution: rebuilt her system from scratch.  Not a terribly complex thing, of course, but should not have been necessary. Oh well.
Thanks for the advice.

Some spyware puts itself in the Winsock LSP (layered service provider) list. If you just nuke the files without repairing that list too, you may end up in just your situation. I did some quick searches but couldn't find good info on LSPs; your best bet is probably to use AdAware or Spybot.

Thanks, Michael. I didn't check the Winsock LSP, but did use both AdAware and Spybot, to no avail. Stupid question: what is the Winsock LSP? I know what Winsock, just not the LSP. Where do I find it?
Thanks.

We have a standard Windows application running on Win2K+ OSes. One of our customers has a special requirement where he needs touch screen monitors. So, my query is regarding the compatibility of my app. Will it require any changes, or does Windows handle it by itself, or do I require any third-party software? Some basic issues like how is right-click handled are not clear to me.
Can somebody provide me with some insight into this?
Thanks,
Krishnan

My application uses a touch screen from ELO TouchSystems[^]. With ELO, your application doesn't know that the touchscreen is installed. The touchscreen works in parallel with or in place of a mouse. The touchscreen can perform single clicks, double clicks, and drag and drop operations. There is no way to implement right click operations using the touch screen only, unless you place a touch area (a button) that means "perform a right click on the point I was last touching", which isn't very intuitive.
The biggest modification you have to make to your application is to make windows and controls touchable. This usually means making them larger, and making their touchable areas obvious to the user. I've found that a 'metric' value of min(screen width,screen height)/12 is a good minimum size for a comfortable control.
Push buttons are easy; just make them bigger. Radio buttons and check boxes work better if they are made larger, and they are given the WS_EX_DLGMODALFRAME extended style. This gives them a raised edge look that gives the user an indication of the touchable area for the control.
Edit controls require an on-screen keyboard. I've made mine task-specific, so I use a numeric spin button, a numeric keypad, or a full alphanumeric keypad depending upon the contents of the edit control.
Scroll bars and track bars are more difficult. The sizes of the Windows scroll bar controls are fixed by the system metrics values. You can increase the size, and Windows displays the scroll bar at the larger size, but it doesn't scale the arrows well, which is ugly. The thumb control for the track bar doesn't appear to resize up to a touchable size. I ended up writing my own scroll bar and track bar controls that sized appropriately.

That's useful to know, particularly the link to ELO, who have international resellers. I like the idea of an on-screen numeric keypad, but I'm not sure I'd want to use a full alphanumeric one!
Is your keypad simulating a staggered qwerty, or is it more rectangular? Don't suppose it makes that much difference to the user, since touch-typing (in the conventional sense) isn't likely to happen!

The alphanumeric keyboard is a staggered QWERTY. The keyboard is a relatively simple dialog box, and the keys are pushbutton controls. One important note: the pushbutton controls are a little unusual. Normal pushbuttons issue a BN_CLICKED notification when the button is released. The pushbuttons I use in my keyboard and numeric keypad issue a notification when the button is pressed. This results in a much more natural feel, in terms of the onscreen keyboard feeling like a real one.

I am currently accessing the internet through a proxy server. However, I can't seem to get any IM (MSN,Yahoo, ICQ, etc.) to connect using the same proxy.
Is there anything else I'm missing?

Sorry if this is the obvious, but did you configure access to each of the programs? (They don't run off the Windows proxy settings)... Make sure you've selected the correct proxy type (Mine is HTTP) and that should be over port 80.

Yeah, I did. Didn't help though.

IE Works though or no? The only other thing I can think of is if you are running over port 80 and have IIS installed then it can't route traffic beacuse you already have something using port 80. What kind of proxy server is it? A service or just a free proxy or what?

IE works just fine.
Never mind. A friend recommended e-messenger. Less hassle all around, I think.
Anyway, thanks for the assist. ![Beer | [beer]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/beer.gif)

All of the IMs I know of use ports other than 80 for communication. You have to enable those ports on the proxy server to allow them to work. Changing the programs to use port 80 won't help because the server end of the connection isn't listening to that port.

Hello all,
I have created a certificate using the makecert.exe utility (I do not have a certificate server available at this moment). The certificate was created and I moved the certificate to my C:\Intepub\wwwroot directory.
I then opened up the directory security tab in the web site properties dialog box. Then, I clicked on the Server Certificate button and the "Welcome to The web Server Certificate Wizard" opened. I clicked next--> selected radio button option "Assign an existing certificate" and clicked next. The IIS certificate wizard opened but there was no option to browse to where my certificate was located (in: C:\Intepub\wwwroot).
How do I install the certificate I created into IIS? I have looked all over msdn and the web to find some hint of how to do this, but could not find anything.
Any and all help would be appreciated.
TYIA,
lonelobo

I had to issue the following command:
makecert -r -n "CN=www.benningfield1.com" -b 01/01/2000 -e 01/01/2036 -eku 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.1 -sk ANewKey -ss my -sr localMachine -sky exchange -sp "Microsoft RSA SChannel Cryptographic Provider" -sy 12
After that it the certificate wizard "saw" the newly created certificate.

You need to use Microsoft Management Console to import the certificate into "Computer" certificate storage (it's MY logical storage, Registry\HKLM "physical" storage). Then you can select the certificate from storage in IIS.

How about doing it the easy way? Download the IIS Resource kit from microsoft's website and run SelfSSL.

What is difference between server o.s. desktop o.s. and network o.s. ( operating system) Please explain in detail?
|
|
|
|
|
They really differ in use. Many operating systems come in several flavors because of this, e.g. Windows, Linux, etc.
A Desktop OS targets an end-user, and is [usually] optimized for Graphical Interfaces, Media, et al., while not needing robust features required or needed by Server OSs.
Server OSs are meant to be used by multiple users and as such are optimized for background processing, application/file sharing, print services, databases, internet and network services, fault tolerance, etc.
Network OSs are meant to be used by clients (such as a Terminal Server Client for Windows or VNC or an X-Windows client in the case of Unix.) Applications and ilk run on the Network OS across the wire, the client just sees a representation of it on their "terminal." The client is usually the only software running on the local machine when using a Network OS -- and may be a very stripped down OS whose sole purpose is to be a "terminal" to a Network OS.

I'm going to resolve my server problem by adding a new drive as C: and re-installing Win2K Server on it. I can then recover anything I need from the existing drives at my leisure, after I have a clean, stable server configured. The question is, since I'll be installing the new drive on IDE 0 as master, when I move one of the existing drives to IDE 1 (where the CD-RW currently resides alone) should it be master, or slave? If this was a simple CD-ROM drive, I'd make it a slave, but I'm concerned about problems writing CDs if the CD-RW drive is not the bus master. Any thoughts?
