Hi, I'm looking for a freeware ramdisk driver/program for XP which allowes to create big ramdisks (1 GB or bigger). A long time ago I was using xmsdsk.exe, but as I read it doesn't work in XP. My "biggest success" is a 329 MB ramdisk - "AR Soft RAM Disk 1.20": http://www.majorgeeks.com/AR_Soft_RAM_Disk_d1356.html Do you know a freeware solution for XP to make bigger ramdisks? Thanks in advance and Best regards~~Piotrek~~pe3no.

I regularly RDP via VPN from my home XP Pro to my office XP Pro. I use VB6 on my office PC and sometimes need to use it with my administrative account so I use RunAs via the right-click method. When I do RunAs of VB6, my explorer locks up with some broken graphics on the start bar. (I place the start bar on the left side of the display.) I get out of this by running task manager on the remote system with ctrl-alt-end, terminating explorer, and starting explorer again with the run option on the task manager. Up to this time, I had found that after a reboot, the problem did not come back right away. That is, the runas functioned as expected. Tonight…

I thought this issue was related to just IE but today I realize, the issue affects my XP system in general, not just XP. I thought it was only IE because I surf mostly on the pc. I have a dual core pc, with 1 gig ram, IE 7, all patches, have and up to date antivirus and firewall and run XP Pro. While surfing the net, I find that over time, I can't open a link in a new tab. I try to open it and nothing happens. No errors whatsoever. When this first happens, I can get around it by closing one tab and then opening the one I want. Over time this doesn't work and if I have more then one copy of IE open, if I close one copy of IE, then I can open anothe…

I have read some articles about Windows NT/2K C2-compliance. The part that interests me is object reuse protection. Supposedly this means that disk space is initialized to 0 when it is allocated. However, I don't see this happening on my 2K system, not as far as I can tell. Wouldn't zeroing (for say, hundreds of megabytes) imply a long write to disk everytime a new file was created? I initially thought that C2 compliance could be achieved through configuration, but did not ship that way out of the box. Some of the articles state that the evaluation applies to off-the-shelf products, which is ambiguous as to whether that means default configuration or simply a l…

A server at a customers site slows down a couple of times a day. (Windows 2003 sp2 -sp2 installed hoping to resolve the problem, so the problem already exists when only sp1 was installed-) in the beginning of this problem I noticed the following error message in the servers logfile: _______________________ Windows saved user DOMEIN\user registry while an application or service was still using the registry during log off. The memory used by the user's registry has not been freed. The registry will be unloaded when it is no longer in use. This is often caused by services running as a user account, try configuring the services to run in either the L…

I like the X-mouse setting available through TweakUI. However, it only seems to work between separate windows, i.e. it doesn't seem to work between two Excel sheets or subwindows in other applications. Is it possible? -- Herbert Eppel http://www.HETranslation.co.uk

Hi, I have Nero OEM 6.6 on my computer. here are the specs of my system: OS: Windows XP Pro Motherboard: ASUS P5ND2-SLI Processor: Intel Pentium D 830 3.0GHz Hard Drive: 250GB SATA RAM: 2x 512MB DDR 667MHz Video Card: ATI Radeon X1300 PRO Optical Drive: Pioneer DVR-110D DVD-RW USB: 4x USB 2.0 Sound Card: 7.1 Channel Ethernet Adapter: Intel 10/100/100 Gigabit I tried to burn a backup copy of a DVD movie at 12x writing speed.

So the power cord connected to my Seagate USB disk drive fell out in the middle of a restore job. I looked in the directory where the .bkf file was *supposed* to be and it was no longer there. Does anyone have ANY idea where the file could be? I did a search for the exact file name but it's not on my local system OR the backup drive. Side note: I was restoring the files from my backup disk to another machine on my home network (an iMac). I don't think it should matter, but thought I'd mention it. Would *really* appreciate help on this. I'm a consultant and I had client files on it. I've been trying to burn dvds all day to avoid just this issue..fi…

Hello, I set up a Windows Longhorn Server 2008 with Terminal Services for testing the Plug and Play redirection. I have tested it with Windows Mobile Devices, Microsoft Webcam, Logitech Webcam but it won't detect or install any driver. The redirection of drives works perfectly. No problems there. Anybody got this to work? I'm using Terminal Services in Windows Server 2008 Beta 3 and Windows Vista Ultimate Client. Greetings

Can I make it so no one has to sign in as a user on Windows XP? I would like the computer to just start up without having to put in a password or designate a user. If I do delete a user account, will I lose all the files under that account? Thank you for any insights or assistance.
