I would like to know if there is a way to 1: find out if a copy of Windows XP was previously registered, and 2: Check for a legal copy of Windows without actually trying to install the software in my machine.

Executing Exe File in PHP on Windows XP Servers
by Guest Alice Wei- 1 reply

Hi, I am wondering if anyone on this list could help me with the following error. I have a snippet of code that calls an exe file before it starts processing anything else from the php file. The code is called as follows: //execute program shell_exec("C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\incidence\my-manager.exe -d$date -p$event"); The entire program works most of the time without my further edits, but sometimes I cannot get the entire program to finish execution because I see a Visual Studio error pop up window asking if I would like to bug due to the code snippet above.

Search Does Not Find Boot.ini
by Guest Jack Gillis- 7 replies

I wanted to take a look at boot.ini under XP SP3 but had forgotten just where it was. I opened C: via Windows explorer and Searched for it but nothing came up. 'Show hidden files and folders' is checked in Folder options and 'Do not show system files' is not checked either. So I took a careful look at the root of C: and there it was. My question is why didn't Search find it? No big deal, just curious. Thank you

For some reasons I cannot reinstall my video card drivers. The graphic is slow. So I decided to reinstall my video card drivers. After reinstall, everything looked fine. But after reboot, the drivers are gone. It looked like the the video drivers were not reinstalled. The graphics became slow again, even something like moving the explorer windows around. It would refresh the explorer window section by section as I move it around.
