This setting can also be changed in the BIOS on some Dell systems

I was given an old KDS monitor some time ago and it seems that they aren't the most reliable pieces of equipment. Unfortunately, you may want to get a new/newer monitor. I tried the tape thing, and it just doesn't seem to work well enough.

A few other good programs are VLC (not to be confused with VNC) and xine.

Have you tried powering off the modem for at least 30 seconds? The steps that I would take, are to power off the modem and router for thirty seconds. Power up the modem. Give it 45 seconds or so to warm up. After that, plug in the router to the modem. Try that, and see how it goes. I have seen problems reconnecting cable modems to devices while powered on. Not all modems, nor all devices, but sometimes.

I think what some of the posters to this thread are losing sight of is the fact that the intent is to capture screens, not dink around with copy-and-paste and graphic-manipulation programs. The advantage of a program like TinyResMeter, SnagIt, or HyperSnap-DX is that a screen-grab is a one-step process. This allows a series of screen captures quickly, if needed--or at the very least, simplifies the process.

Not flame-baiting but I honestly fail to see how use of any one program over another would be more simple:

PrtScrn way:

1.) push Print Screen
2.) paste somewhere
3.) save

External App way:

1.) Load app.
2.) Tell it to capture
3.) Save shot

Each is just as easy and requires no more "dinking" than the other.

In Windows, simply push the "Print Screen" key, then open a program such as Paintbrush, and paste it in. For a single window, you can use Alt+Print Screen. This is really simple and doesn't support any fancy options like a timer or anything like that, but it "should" work across all (AFAIK) windows desktops.

In the future, if your shell supports tab completion (assuming that you only have one file with a leading space) you can first type the "\ " and then using tab or escape, can automatically complete the file name for you.

To access the file put a \ before the space so that it will read "\ " (without the quotes of course) Then, you can rm/file/vi/etc. the file and figure out what it is. Special characters are often needed to be prepended with a \ in order to be used from the CLI/Regexps/etc.

You need to remove the program from "Add/Remove Program Files" in control panel, not just by deleting the folder. If you for some reason must remove the folder manually, make sure to remove OPXPApp.exe from any startup, or kill it manually in the task manager if you can.

Try Ad-aware, and all the "usuals." How did you remove Isearch before?

Are you running fsck/e2fsck?

This sounds to me like simple port forwarding?

check out http://netfilter.org for ipchains/iptables depending on your kernel

Do you mean:

dmzbox -mail-> internal Exchange server
dmzbox -website-> web server

Well, as far as the partitioning scheme goes, Sony has AFAIK always shipped there computers with a C: and D: drive, so that in the event the OS neeeds to be reinstalled (as with yours) One could do so, without having to format all of their personal files which "should" be stored on the D: drive. I am not sure how "recent" you bought it, but you may be able to go to Best Buy with your receipt, and laptop, and other documentation that you have, and explain that you never received the system recovery disks, but you DO have the product key. (The Windows sticker) If they can't help you, then contact Sony. I think that most (if not all) major manufacturers can provide people with copies of the media, for a charge. I don't know the prices, but I am sure it is significantly less than purchasing a new copy of Windows. In your case, you already have the license, now you just need the media. There is no way to reinstall XP without the disk. No "online" installations or anything. I don't think this is possible with Windows. Once you do obtain the Windows XP media, it would be a smart idea to copy all of your personal filesto the D: drive, if you don't already. Or, maybe you can copy them to DVD and then reformat all 120gb as on big C: drive during the Windows reinstallation. There is the option of doing a Windows recovery …

I think this thread is dead. Anyone agree? This is the person's only post since October (when they signed up)

If you purchase the Linksys product that I mentioned, it will fully replace your current DSL modem.

I have not seen a product that accepts a USB instead of RJ45 modem, but Linksys does offer a product that is the ADSL modem, router, wireless access point, and 4-port ethernet switch all in one. I have not personally used this product but would recommend a Linksys product any day. Here is the link:

Hope it is close enough to what you are looking for.
