Does Windows ME have a task manager? Perhaps the System Monitor ITSELF is what is using the CPU!

the answer is no

that is how it works

@ zeroliken: thank you

don't use int use float?

edit- yeah don't use int use float , otherwise it just superman 3 and office space problem.

perhaps you should download some type of IDE(integrated development environment) that will notify you of any syntax errors....

-edit sorry i get so angry, but ya know what i mean?

sometimes it just easier to do the math than create all that code, if you can create the code, then i'm sure youy can do that math

if you really want to be a programmer, it is hard work, trial & error, there's plently of books & resources, stop crying wolf

the answer is the future!

we go back to old-school mainframe where all users work from same mainframe!

upgrade to sp3

*update not upgrade, the problem is signal attenuation(conductance)learn about electronics, you have to start from the beginning, you cannot start at end, because why?

besides, you don't have to erase the hard drive if all you are trying to do is clean it. just kidding i know what you mean. you can erase a hard drive with just about any type of OS install disc. just delete the partitions using the partitions manager then exit without installing. Linux Ubuntu is probably your best bet if you can't find a Microsoft disc.

probably because windows7 and linux don't play well together. try using Disk Cleanup

hmmm....i would also like to add telnet is usually port 23.SMTP is port 25.
i guess this information was sorted out in Exchange.(since it was a LAN issue)?

your email provider's smtp address can probably be found on thier website. i say 'probably' because some providers' plans don't support the use of Outlook(or other email handlers) unless you upgrade your plan. when you do find the smtp address. check to make sure it matches what is in your account settings in Outlook.

you can unistall/reinstall outlook express

but that requires instruction, another email provider may support larger attachments.

hopefully cause it was pretty quick 3.4Ghz pentium4 dual core!
i tried many, many thimgs as that IBM slowly died, cleaning, cpu cream,
a big possibility was broken circuit at the psu socket due to many components&wires jammed together in too small of a frame.

my theory is fried CPU, but i need another CPU or MOBO of same socket type to test...

you need to set static IP addresses(for microsoft, i don't know Apache)
i really don't think DNS will work without IP addresses...
unless you're creating a new DNS system for the world :)
were you using IPv6 or 4?

sounds like the same hardware problem as the broken IBM in my hall, something is fried, but i don't know what. i think maybe the processor is overheating. try cleaning the heat sink & processor(professionally).good luck to us both!

VMWare is popular, and Microsoft VirtualPC for pc's and HyperV for multiple virtual servers on a single server to cut costs like the city i live in is doing :)

I assume having a server on a pc means you're using virtualization.
and xp3 & server 2003 have the same family for auto installion.
i will search for the appropriate link...beware it can be challenging to understand & use, but install includes help files....

-edit the closest i could find is xp(sp2)family AIK here the address:
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=10333

I'm pretty sure your first step should be to download WindowsAIK for XP family

CORRECTION---do not change <size> 200(MB)

good luck & let us know what happens

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd349348(WS.10).aspx

copy&paste that into notepad/wordpad .
replace capital letters with what you want
change <size> from 200 to what size partition
save, rename the text file from *.txt to autounattend.xml

put autounattend.xml on the root directory of a USB drive,
restart computer with install disc & usb thunbdrive

is your machine 32-bit or 64-bit?
what version of windows do you want ? (e.g. starter,home,pro,ultimate)?

it will probably be easier if i just paste an answer file here for you to use...

http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=5753

there you go...

sound to me like your board or cpu is fried, sorry.
that's a little bit beyond my skills...however i do know you can like reset to bios or whatever by setting the jumper to 'clear cmos'. then turn on the machine...

usually when 2 identical machines act differently it means 1 is broke, but if you don't want to give up, search for the 'answer file' online for the version of windows that you want. it's called autounattend.xml or i can make one for you. or you can make one for yourself by downloading windowsAIK....

good luck...but i am worried that the board is fried, because i'm out of ideas.

when you burn the dvd, make sure you burn it slow, and burn it as a 'bootable cd/dvd' and NOT a 'bootable UDF' . you might need to find out how many boot sectors are needed, but i'm not too sure about that.

also sometimes the board is so old it has no factory drivers built-in for dvd burners. in this case, you should boot from a USB 'answer file' or some other workaround(of which everybody seems to have an idea how) one way i just read about is to download something called 'ultimate boot'

turns out this problem happens alot when you burn your own disk, the dvd must be written at a slow speed as to avoid errors, there is tons of info if you google search, 'can not read from CD Code 5'

try using the original & see if that works

it actually sounds like your board is fried. or your processor...
what computer is it? maybe i can look for what code 5 means...

that sounds totally messed up,
are your installation disks genuine retail? or a downloaded hack?

yes, there are other ways, but it can get a little technical.
WindowsAIK(auto installation kit) is useful(but you need to learn how to use it,instructions are included, i believe)

to fix your boot menu, you can use either msconfig or download EasyBCD

-edit- check the BIOS of the boards,maybe?

mark it closed! you solved it! :D

in the Run... line type msconfig or msconfig.exe or msconfig.msc
click the 'startup' tab to see what is running at startup.
click the 'services' tab to see services you might want to disable.

try to use drwatson.exe(or whatever it's called) to scan for hardware problems

search 'pcdoctor' online that is another hardware scanner

even a newly installed OS might still need to be defragged

defragment! get it to 0%
also check disk for errors
these are easily found in start menu programs accessories system tools

your computer should not be having problems running windows7...it seems like a hardware problem possibly due to the overclocking...i would need help myself

-edit-also check for video card driver updates

there could also be more than one place in the registry where it is.
i usually get those types of errors after migrating an operating system to a different partition. but it sounds like you don't want to still use the program, otherwise i'd say check the *.ini configuration file in the program's folder(if it has one. sometimes you can also fix path errors in the registry(depending on program) that's all i know for now

i think the program you want to find is regedit.exe
you can type it in the run line, or do a search for where it is.
the registry is huge, but it has it's own search box(find..probably)

right-clicking!
to set permissions, right-click the drive, choose properties.
choose the security tab and go from there.

for just moving something, right-click it, choose cut, then right-click where you want to move it to and choose paste

if you don't want to take apart your computer, check all of your power saving settings.(obvious, i know)

but yes, could be vid card, or even power supply, or
some other hardware problem. could also be a virus.(virus is always a possibility for everything these days, it seems like)

-edit power settings, like hibernate,sleep, etc,
-edit you cloud also check your BIOS for a setting

-edit-rolling back or updating the driver for the monitor might help, same with driver for video card

-i had similar monitor trouble when i had a bad power supply....

of course, i'm 99% sure it would

that is exactly the reason i already had my floppy disabled, and only one cd/dvd drive instead of two
+edit+ and then you don't have to hear that annoying sound it makes sometimes!

grako, you cannot share from computers that have no password setup when simple file sharing is disabled:)
do you know about remote desktop?

well... iread your other thread...and i can't solve it but,
if you want to disable a service so it won't restart,
type 'msconfig' in the 'run' line, then 'services' tab.
maybe that will help(unless you already knew that)

he wants both, jingda

perhaps that sound is that of a toilet flush, the obvious answer would be to check for a setting in PCC

to see webpages, your network card must have DHCP & DNS addresses set in there.
usually putting the router's ip will solve this, but i'm starting to lose track of
your questions, so just keep trying stuff and you'll figure it out eventually:)

i'm sure you don't need to take down the firewalls, though.
maybe you should see if you can use remote desktop

one way would be to open the 'tools' menu from a folder's menu, select
'folder options' then 'view' tab
at bottom of list uncheck 'use sharing wizard' or 'use simple sharing'

for this to work, your usernames must have passwords set

plug the pc and laptop to the router, make sure they are connected.(ipconfig)
i'm not gonna tell all steps, but on the pc, go to the adapter list folder(can't think of what it called right now)or device manager. select both adapters at the same time, then right-click them. choose 'bridge connections'...now you should be able to share internet using ICS...but there is still more to do before it will work....

How to check router settings:

Open:Cmd.exe
type:ipconfig
press enter
read the output. your router's ip address is listed as "default gateway"
open your internet browser
type your default gateway address where you normally type website addresses
press enter
your router's settings page should appear
every type of router's page is different, and has different options
try to find your dhcp client list(not all routers can be a dhcp server)
set a password,security settings and so on, etc.

i'm only telling you this so you can have more confidence talking to the ISP.
because yes it is possible that your neighbors could be stealing your bandwith
(especially if you reset the router, because then the password is gone)

and kraai, LAN is Local Area Network, WAN is Wide Area Network and WLAN means Wireless Local Area Network. They said they had fixed the faulty line so
i really don't know what the hell is going on(but i want know).
you must think his ISP is lying to him? that is always a possibility

i guess i wasn't joking then, about the router. did they supply it? or do you own it? router firewalls are important.

some other ideas:
-turn on tracking blocker(or whatever it called, a.k.a. inprivate filtering)from tools menu internet xplorer.
-and disable all add-ons(from same menu
-block 3rd party cookies(or all)tools>internetoptions>privacy>advanced
-YOU didn't download and install anything, but what about auto-updates?
-reliability monitor is a neat little new thing for 7,but needs a restore point for it to function at all.

maybe they didn't fix it yet...did you see them do any work?

ok, that's all i got for now

i am not talking about doing tests. i am simply suggesting something that has not been mentioned.
