    - OVERLY LONG FILE NAMES - as impediment to COPYING FILES I tend to use long file names, so as to identify needed files readily. If the file saves to my C drive in Windows XP Professional, I don't pay particular attention to the length of the file name that I've used. But in trying to COPY large files (e.g., a folder holding tens of thousands of sub-folders, with 2GB of saved data), most copying programs that I've encountered -- on 250 GB Maxtor external hard drives, on 40 GB HP external hard drives, on 2 GB Lexar flash drives -- not only will NOT COPY a file with an overly-long file name, but they also TERMINATE THE ENTIRE COPYING PROCESS INSTANTLY, merely on hitting a single too-long file name. Going into huge saved data files MANUALLY and MANUALLY reducing the length of each long file name is impossible. That's why we have COMPUTERS AND PROGRAMS: to automate important but tedious tasks and processes. I am hoping that someone somewhere has AN AUTOMATIC FILENAME-LENGTH TRUNCATION PROGRAM, or subroutine -- that could be run through my entire C drive prior to attempting to copy large files, or, even better, that could be run ON-THE-FLY in conjunction with any file-copying process, and that could truncate overly-long file names on-the-fly, as they are encountered, to permit the standard file-copying routines or algorithms to proceed without stopping, and even without losing those particular files with overlong names. IS THERE SUCH A FILENAME-LENGTH TRUNCATION PROGRAM? If so, how can I get an operational version, both for XP Professional and for XP Media Center? I'd have thought that this sub-routine would have been the most obvious thing in the world for MICROSOFT itself to have incorporated into Windows. But if it's available in Windows XP Professional or in XP Media Center, I'm not aware of it. Tag: Tick Tock.Tap.... Tag: 13461

    - Windows XP 64 bit TSM Backup Archive GUI Hello All, Just before I attempted to intall Tivoli Storage Manager onto one of my X64 based systems I thought I'd read the readme. I managed to find the comment below - On Windows XP 64 bit with SP1 applied, the TSM Backup Archive GUI (dsm.exe) will fail to launch, issuing a message "ordinal 6880 could not be located in dynamic link library mfc42u.dll". This is due to a problem with the Microsoft Foundation Class libraries shipped in SP1. Refer to Microsoft Knowledge Base article 814415 for details on this problem and instructions on how to obtain and install the fixed level of mfc42u.dll. This problem is not present in Windows 2003 Server 64 bit. Having trawled through pages galore I can't find anything to do with the Knowledge Base Article 814415.? Has anyone any ideas.? Cheers Stephen Tag: Tick Tock.Tap.... Tag: 13448

    - Cannot Activate Window x64 I recently successfully installed x64 with an OEM copy I purchased from Newegg.com after many unsuccessful attempts of trying to install appropriate RAID drivers. Now, everytime I click to Activate my Windows, the "Let's Activate Windows" window pops up, but I can't select any of the radio buttons (Yes, let's activate... over the Internet, telephone, etc). Once I try and click any of them, it's either hung or I can't highlight any of the options. Clicking on a radio button option just leaves it sort of highlighted bit the radio button isn't selected so the Next button is never clickable. Just looks like it's hung, though I can close that window. I tried requestion email support, but it says because my copy is OEM and I have to contact the "manufacturer" for support. I bought all my gear from Newegg and other online retailers, so I'd doubt I'd get specific support for this issue from them. Any solutions to this? I'm dreading the answer that I have to reinstall all over again just to activate. Tag: Tick Tock.Tap.... Tag: 13431

    - NTLDR, NTDETECT.COM fixmbr fixboot So, It would appear that the NTLDR and NTDETECT.COM files are nonexistent in XP64. or rather, they exist in the root directory but are so hidden, that even the administrator account does not have acces. more to the point, the fixmbr and fixboot commands have been removed from the recovery console, which is entirely distressing. my problem is described in greater detail in my other recent post, "x64 instal error 'Hardware halted'" but in overview, I have a thoroughly corrupted boot sector as a result of a dual-boot attempt in linux. basically GRUB edited my boot sector, but did so onto a disk which was NTFS formated, and has some seirous problems. I have since tried to go into the recovery console to fix it, nly to find that fixboot and fixmbr are no longer valid commands. HOW CAN THIS BE?!?! have I simply missed somehting obivous? did Âµsoft forsake me and leave me stranded without a boot sector? I would greatly love any inpus one can offer. Tag: Tick Tock.Tap....

    - x64 instal error "Hardware halted" So, Ive been through hell and back trying to repair my windows boot sector after a failed attempt to dual boot with linux. the problem: I am currently installing a FRESH (read: completely reformatted drive) version of windows parallel to my old one. it is on a second SCSI drive (scsi id 1), and I am doing this to avoid destroying some critical data on the first corrupt drive/version of windows. I have gone through all the steps up to and including reformatting the new drive, installing the master boot record on the new partition, and rebooting the machine. unpon reboot, setup loads once again, and is in the "loading devices" stage, with the green bar at roughly 70% and the message "approximately 34 minutes left," when the entire system fails, and gives a three-line bluescreen saying **hardware malfunction** please contact your hardware manufacturer your system has halted. I can manually reset and reboot, and it continues as such. prior to this, I had a corrupt boot sector on the first drive (SCSI id 0) which i attempted to repair using the windows boot disk. this repair failed, so I have tried to reinstall a parallel copy of windows for the purpose of simply accessing the old disk and recovering data as a last-ditch effort. however, I am being thwarted at every attempt. my system stats are as such: Tyan Thunder K8W motherboard, 2x AMD Opteron 250 2GB dualchannel ecc registered ram (1 GB per processor, dedicated) Adapted Ultra160 SCSI controller (not RAID) 2x 30Gb scsi drives, toshiba, exact model can be found, btu not on me right now. any suggestions? I know that both disks have boot sectors now, and I have tried various things, such as booting from the disk, booing from both drives, it always goes to the windows setup screen regardless, and then hangs in the loading devices step.

    - Cannot get 32-bit Internet Explorer to work Hey everybody, it is my 1st time here. I just bought a new motherboard (ECS's nFORCE3-A, socket 754) and an Athlon 64 CPU to go with it. Well I purchased Windows XP x64 and installed it. I have an always on cable connection, and the 64-bit Internet Explorer works like a charm. However, the 32-bit IE always gives me the error "The page cannot be displayed" no matter what I do. I can't do Windows Update at all. Anybody know what I can do to make the 32-bit IE work?

    - Life of XP 64 bit Hello, I have been buying upgrades in software and hardware science 1997 when I recieved a desktop PC as a gift in 1997 with Windows 95 as the OS, I don't have to tell your how it didn't have even one meg of memory or so on to let everyone now how low powered it was. That computer started me in the business of learning about how to get stuff to work on my PC and upgrading it. I will always look for the best solutions in proformance concerning my PC's with my cash flow in mind. I like gaming and want to be at the cutting edge of game play with low frame rate, and now hi data transfur when using lan and servers for gaming. My latest PC is a doser for me and I done want to mess it up with a bad dession that I think I have already made one. The PC that I am just about throught building has the following: ATX Case, 510 Watt Turbo Cool SLI Daul PCI Express Power Supply, Mobo is and DFI/NF4 Lanparty nF4 SLI-DR RT, AMD Athlon 64 bit Dual Core 4400+ processor, 2 VGA eVga GF 7800GTX 256MB RAM using SLI link to stack them, 4096GB OCZ DDR Ram PC 3200 400mhz RT, 74 GB WD Raptor SATA 10,000 RPM, Zalman 7000B Heatsink & Fan, Sony 16X48X DVD ROM, and Sony 3.5 Floppy Drive. Not to mention the neon light show. I would thing I hand a pretty good set up for gaming but there seems to be a glitch! The OS I thought I should get was the Windows XP Professional 64 bit. The reason is Linux is for the most part a more stable OS and not to mention its Open Source is quite appealing, but for a gaming rig I don't think so! Aparently their is only one real source for an OS that takes care of a gamers needs and that is Microsoft. So then I considered XP or XP64 bit and it would seem logicial to go with XP64 bit Scence I have a 64 bit daul core processor and it would take full atvantage of the new 64 bit games that are our now and for some time in the future. So I went to find out were to purchase said XP64 bit OS and found it was only buyable as OEM throught PC Manufactors until 2006. Well for $155.00 U.S. I got it. Only to find out that Longhorn os now Vistia and it is the New 64 bit OS for windows and this kind of burns my A$# because I have a good feeling that I shelled out 155.00 for an OS that is going to be put on the back burner because Microsoft want to sell me another OS called Vista next year. I have no less then 7 Computers in my house all with Windows XP of some sort either Home Proffesional, or XP64 bit and had to shell out $1,000.00 so all my computers for my families and my own use. You can see my fustration the expence of the OS from Microsoft. It would be a good business move for microsoft to sale one OS to and household and let that person call microsoft to aquire addional licsiences for $20.00 to $40.00 per each computer insead of the $100.00 or so that is going on now. And in the case of XP64 bit and vistia sell me XP64 bit now and upgrade me at a reduced price when Vistia comes out. Too my question! Does anyone know if XP64 bit is a ligimate OS from Microsoft or just something to rake in money until Vistia is released( How long will I get Support and updated for XP64 Bit). PS did you know that Linux, Amercian Army Software Developers, and the U.S Army have made or are making that game where it will run on a PC without an OS, thats right it finds your hardware and formates the gaming enviroment for your computer abilities and I hear it fast like a super awsume console or one on mega seroids!! The point being is if MS doesn't take sum que from what is happening and meet some reasonable grounds with their conumer base their going to suffer a great lose in business. The commit was made on a webb posting that someone would pick up on what linux was doing and capitalixed on it. Just think I want have to pay a $1,000.00 for the same thing and a reduction in attacks on my computer not to mentions having to reformat my hard drive because my System Registery have accumlated faults. The other thing is practically, Is it feasibale to believe that someone could take this idea and tare down MS so as to bring a change in heart or how they take care of comsumers that have spent thousands on their software that have put them where they are. The answer is yes, it is very possible and highly possible just look at MS, Apple, and linux they all or exanple of turning an idea into a big threat. Personely I realy like MS I just wish they could save me sum cash instead of trying to milk me dry. After All I will still by from you and you still will get my money. After all if you make a good product you succeed by selling quanty and repeat business by satisfied costumers that want more products from a company that delivers with your pocket book in mind.Thanks for any responces to my quiry!

    - Configuring for best performance. Hi. I've started wondering how Windows performance is affected by the rather basic options in the 'Advanced' tab, under 'System Properties'. Perhaps things aren't necessarily the same as they used to be, with all the new equipment that comes around? Any general guidelines? 1.How about the modern HD's that come with 8MB of cache - how can I get to see if it is enabled, and is there any interface to modify the operation? 2. How does 8MB of that cache get along with 'windows system cache'? And how can I change the size of WSC? I have tried to gleen some information by looking at the results from Sandra, but nothing consisten emerges if I go from single drive SATA1 to dual drive RAID0 and enable/disable WSC, as an example. Nothing consistent, that is, except confusion. Tony. . . Tag: Tick Tock.Tap.... Tag: 13349

    - "Briefcase" has problems w XP-64 and XP-Pro32 I just reinstalled XP-Pro 32 bit on my laptop and am having problems with "My Briefcase". I created the briefcase on the laptop and dragged files and folders to it from my XP-64 desktop. Later when I try to access the briefcase from the XP-64 machine I get the message the briefcase is corrupt. When I try to open it from the laptop (XP-32), it tells me that it is invalid and I need to create it with an "updated" version of briefcase. Is this because of XP-64? Also, I just looked at a USB drive with my 64 bit machine. The briefcase was created by XP-32. It had issues as well so I am recreating it with XP-64 to see it it works better. Any ideas? Would I have better luck creating the briefcase on my laptop over the network from the 64 bit machine? Tag: Tick Tock.Tap.... Tag: 13326

    - Apparently, Samsung think " that most of our machine will work on [xp]64" Asked about their Printers, and availability of drivers for XP64, this is the misleading reply I got... "Thank you for contacting SamsungElectronics. [Solution] With regards to your enquiry about 64 bit printer, Samsung does not currently have any models available for XP64 bit. At present there is no mention of any place to create drivers or machine with 64 bit compatibility. Having said that, we have found thatmost of our machine will work on 64 if you go through the add printer wizard and select the correct .inf file. For future reference, please use reference number 2100990132." Whilst I can appreciate, that ethernet connected printers are driver independent, as it uses a printserver, it's very misleading to imply that their other printers will work on XP64 without any modifications, as this is untrue.

    - <vrrROOOOOOOommmm> I'll be a bit light on the NG for the next couple of days. Building up my new laptop. All the Acer drivers look good, no problems so far. I started by installing Acronis partition thing in the 32-bit XP and shrinking down the C: partition to 12 Gb. It's only there for the few things that I might have to do that aren't supported in x64 or LH yet. Grabbed an image of it so I can restore if I need to. Then let the install repartition the rest of the drive -- D: is x64 Edition, E: will be LH64, and F: is my data drive. First configuration issue was to copy the Ferrari.wav over to the D: so my startup sound is there. Note also that neither the wireless nor the LAN have drivers in the OS, so you need to make sure you have the drivers ahead of time -- you won't be able to connect to anything until you get them loaded. -- Please, all replies to the newsgroup. ====================== Charlie. http://www.msmvps.com/xperts64/ Tag: Tick Tock.Tap....

We get the usual message that the server does not have suitable drivers and click yes to continue, but instead of getting the window to select the appropriate driver we get the following error The file "*.inf" on (unknown) is needed I found a KB article that suggested setting it up manually through the add new printer wizard as a local printer, then creating a new local port to the network share. The problem is we would like to use the Fax service on the server, but we can not set faxing through the add printer wizard. Can anyone suggest a way around this problem??? Tag: Tick Tock.Tap....

    - Firewall Question Went to get online this morning and all my internet connections had been deleted. I am using just the windows firewall with XP Pro x64. I'm not positive I was hacked but don't know how else this could happen. Anyway, I'm wondering if you think it would be beneficial to buy Tiny firewall or if windows firewall is sufficient.

    - access 97 adnd VB applications A Client of ours just purchased 2 new machines with Windows xp 64 and are trying to load an Access 97 & VB client/server based application. We managed to get around the several linking and installation issues. but when we run it, we get all sort of erroneous results. such as being able to run programs that display information but not update information. We also get OLE automation errors. Any Ideas? Will Access 97 & VB based programs that use 3rd party controls run on the 64 bit Windows Platform? Tag: Tick Tock.Tap.... Tag: 13119

Sorry to hear. I ordered mine later April and I got it last week (I'm in the
US). That is including all the Credit Card crap that I had to go through!

Hang in there...it's going to get there before Christmas!
