Any suggestions - internet data card - Pay as you go Service? *************************************************************************** I have 2 questions. 1. I am in the process of buying a laptop . The new laptop does not have a slot for an internet datacard to be inserted ...can only accomodate a USB device for internet data service. So I will need a service that offers the USB device. I am using T mobile (USA) ( US 49.99 per month ) now but they do not offer a USB device in lieu of the internet data card.

Grateful for advice please. I have Windows XP Home Edition 5.1 Service Pack 3 [according to about windows]. I have a few problems which I think are related.

Cancel Win XP Pro installation
by Guest ADB- 1 reply

I am trying to cancel an installation of Windows XP Pro. I discovered that I am using the wrong disc (installed on another machine) and want to install Windows Home. However the machine is putting me thru hell by not allowing me to cancel the installation, it simply keeps cycling to the point where it asks for the product key over and over. Removing the disc generates an error that causes a reboot that asks for the disc and then goes thru install again and is in an infinite friggin loop. I am completely fed up. How can I stop this?

Command or setting to force monitor on?
by Guest Harko- 16 replies
- 446 views
Hi all, I have two scheduled tasks: One to have wizmo force the computer to standby at 10 pm, the other to start Internet Explorer at 6:15 am to wake the computer from standby. Both tasks work fine, but upon wakeup, the monitor doesn't turn on. I have to move the mouse to wake up the monitor. This isn't really a problem at all obviously as I have to move the mouse anyway; more of a discussion point/loose end to tie up: Is there something to run at the command line to force the monitor to turn on? That way I could put the IE startup and the monitor wakeup command in a batch file and run that instead at 6:15. If not, is there some setting somewhere…

Hi, My computer (with WindowsXP) was accidentally restored. A FPGA simulation software Modelsim PE 6.2c student version, which is obsolete now, cannot removed. It is not shown in Control panel. There is no uninstall function either. The same version cannot be found because it is substitute with the newer version. Could you tell me how to remove this obsolete software? Thanks a lot.

handle of child window with input focus
by Guest Bob- 1 reply
- 150 views
There's a Windows API function that provides various information about top-level windows, but I can't remember its name. I think the first parameter is the HWND of a top-level window, and it fills in a control block structure in return. One of the values it makes available in the control block is the window handle of the child window that has the input focus. Hopefully that's enough info so someone will think of the name of the function and post it for me :) Thanks, Bob
