I wanted to write a batch file for comparing files in the current directory with those in another directory in terms of file size. And the following is what I have so far: @echo off rem compare files in the current directory with those in another directory rem in terms of file size. rem parameter to this batch ("the other directory") should include the path separator rem (backslash) if it is a proper directory spec rather than say "<drive letter>:" if "%1"=="" ( echo Usage %0 the-other-dir goto :end ) for %%f in (*.*) do ( set fn=%%f echo %fn% set fn2=%1%fn% echo %fn% for %%G in (%fn%) do set fz1=%%~zG for %%H in…

Hi all, I have recently upgraded my machine to Windows Server 2008 Enterprise x64 edition. I have a Sapphire X1950 Pro graphics card and I downloaded the latest Vista x64 drivers for it. They installed fine, but the video performance leaves a little to be desired! It's as if the hardware acceleration has been turned down a little. With the driver installed, the hardware acceleration options are greyed out so I can't check them. I tried uninstalling the driver and reinstalling them with Catalyst 8.8 but after doing that I couldn't even launch the Catalyst Control Center. I tried an older version of CCC+Drivers (version 7.7 I think) and that inst…

Hi, I need some suggestions for solving a file copy problem. I essentially need to watch multiple directories for new files, and copy any new files to a common destination. The directories I need to watch are in the same top level folder, but are in different sub folders. Any 3rdparty tools or scripting ideas that might make this easy and scalable (the number of source directories will continue to grow). Thanks.

We recently changed our phone service to Broadband with our cable company (who also supplies the broadband cable connection for our computer) I can no longer send a fax. Tech Support told me that I need to configure the fax program to send as "DATA" for sending instead of sending as a phone fax. I can't find where to do this. I am using the fax utility that is installed with Windows XP Home .... Can someone tell me where to change this information? Thanks -- Dori ... -----------------------------------------------

Recently I noticed that the Auto Logon feature in Power Toys, Tweak UI does not stick. Every time I reboot I have to re-enable this feature. System is WinXP Pro SP2 with all latest updates. and Tweak UI is v2.10.0.0. Has MS intentional broken this feature and if so is there away to make it work again? Thanks.

I was having problems viewing separately downloaded Chinese subtitles in avi files. I finally managed to solve that problem using BSPlayer. But that's not what I'm asking for help with here. There's something I don't understand. I downloaded the Chinese subtitles from a Chinese website. The subtitle filetype is .srt. However, when I open the subtitle file in Notepad, all I see are lines of nonsense characters that look like this: ÕâÊÇÄãÃÇÄܼ¯ºÏµÄ°®ºÃ But when I open the same srt subtitle file in Word, I get a File Conversion options window asking me to choose one of the following: 1 Windows (Default) 2 MS-DOS 3 Other encoding (choose…

Re: Contacts & Signatures Won't Stick I can't get Contacts and more than one Signature to stick in WLM 14.0.5027.0908 Beta, using XP SP3. Each time I exit WLM they disappear. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Is it a known bug in WLM 14.0.5027.0908 Beta? Does anyone have something smart to say on this problem? -- DSH Lux et Veritas et Libertas Vires et Honor

My computer spontaneously restarts while I'm in the middle of checking email, or drafting a Word document, or whatever. For a split second a blue screen appears with words on it and disappears so quickly I can't read it. THen the computer restarts. I've lost whatever I'm working on but everything else is fine. Does anybody know what's going on? -- steve

I need to create a .bat file to performa some tests required by a third party application. The third party application documentation says that "The script must exit with a 0 (zero) value to be considered a success. Any other output results in failure. Upon success, the stdout output of the script will be examined." I made some tests but I prseume I made some mistake. Can anybody please explain how a .bat script must close in order to exit with a 0 or a non 0 value and, maybe. provide some simple sample? Regards Mario

We had set up a W2K8 server (the only server in the organization) with User CALs and everything was working fine inside and outside. Just as we were rolling it out to the remote and roaming users it stopped working. Users on the local, to the server, network can still fully use RDP. Outside users get to the server's full screen logon but no matter what user/password they use they get a "The user name or password is invalid." error. Same user/password works via the local network. The event log was showing a 1004 id but a hot fix stopped that as MS indicated it was a false event that led to useless investigation. This started right in the middle of …

When I choose 'Hibernate', nothing happens. No error message, nothing. Running XP Pro, SP3, 2 GB RAM. I can log off and then get hibernate to work, but of course logging off shuts down all apps, which I don't want to do. Any solutions, or any other info I can provide to help diagnose? Thanks, Chris
