Slow XP System for everything
by Guest D. Kirkpatrick- 3 replies
- 251 views
This may have been answered here already but I have just joined this Usneet group for some help. I have an XP system here (HP personal system). It is actually my wife's and is used for school. I have 2 W2K machines myself. Here is the problem. Her system has cranked down to a standstill. It takes (literally) a full minute for any MS Word document to open even though I have a licensed copy of WORKS installed (OEM). Rebooting (hot or cold) can result in having to wait as much as 10 or more full minutes before the system is usable. During that time period the disk activity light is on full as if the disk is being polled or scanned. I have run var…

I guess this case is not so simple... problem is, I just need to "erase the first 3 characters of each file". For example, I have this folder with 1,860 files. All of these files are named: "ir_#####", where the # sign represents a number. So, each file contains a 5-digit number preceded by the "ir_". There are no duplicates in the "#####" section. I need to remove the "ir_" portion on all 1,860 files. ir_12345 changes to 12345 ir_24680 changes to 24680 ir_30817 changes to 30817 etc... Is this possible? How?

I hope somebody can help. I recently purchase Microsoft Office Professional 2007. Word and Excel installed properly, but when I installed disk #2 I received an error message.

Has anybody have any solutions on how to fix my WMI system for my computer. Do I…

What's the ^ command line symbol for?
by Guest andrea@NOSPAMPLEASE.com- 2 replies
- 226 views
Hi all, I have a question about the Windows command line interpreter: The ? symbol replaces one character with boolean true, the * symbol replaces one sequence of characters with boolean true, but what does the ^ symbol do? Just try to run these commands and you'll see it must have a special meaning: ECHO ^ ECHO ^^ ECHO ^^^ ECHO ^^^^ same on filenames. If a file contains ^ in its name, I am forced to specify it between quotes even if it doesn't contain any space! Thanks, Andrea

Hi all, I have a PC that is running Windows XP and there are multiple user environments present (similar to a terminal server) whereby there is the console (sitting in front of the PC) and then individual user windows sessions for other users attaching through lets say RDP(but not RDP). In each windows session/environment there is a network application (similar to telnet) that must attach to an application server(on a different but nearby subnet). The application server only will accept connections from 1 IP address therefore the first user to launch the application connects and the rest get denied. I need to make each session appear to be coming fro…
