    - xp slow dos compress pkzip Hi Folks: Not a question here, just observations. We have an IBM running as a station monitor that runs software that saves log files; about 86 megs a day. It ran out of hard drive the other day. About time I guess.. I tried sending these to compress. Well, fist I could only do 1 file, because there was very limited hard drive. But, after 1, then 2, then 4, etc., and deleting the original files, I could 'compress' about a month's worth of files in a clip. I couldn't 'compress' 2 months, no matter how much free hard drive I had. Using 'compress' I could only do a month at a time. It took about 16 seconds a file (86 megs) and compressed very tight! A whole month compressed to about 60 megs! I noticed there is about 2 years of these files to compress.. That's a LONG time to compress! I just found PKZIP on a boot chip! Using the CMD window, our good 'ol virtual DOS window, I can 'pkzip' the all these files at once - over two years worth, and it takes 6 seconds a file. Over twice as fast in a 'virtual DOS box' it's causing FAR less drive activity, and I can still use the computer! In fact, I'm deleting the originals after PKZIP 'zips' them. Why is this?

    - Text in ASP Scripts Hidden From Windows Search Found some interesting behavior in Windows Search (Start => Search => All files and folders => search for "A word or phrase in the file:"). This applies to XP and maybe other Windows flavors. Procedure: 1. Create a simple text file named test.txt. 2. Open the text file in a text editor and add a simple test word such as "blah" (not quotes). 3. Save the text file. 4. Using Windows search, attempt to locate this new text file by searching for files containing the word "blah" (no quotes). Recommend limiting search to folder that contains the new text file and deselect search subfolders option. 5. The file should be found. 6. Change the file extension of the text file from .txt to .asp. 7. Redo the search. 8. The file should be found. 9. Reopen the text file (now named test.asp) in a text editor. 10. Change the string "blah" to "<% blah %>" (without quotes). [The brackets delineate script in asp files.] 11. Save the changes. 12 Redo the search. 13. The file is NOT found. Interesting. There must be some security concern related to .asp files with embedded scripts relative to Windows Search. I wonder if there is a KB article or something about to this. I have not been able to find anything. Can anyone shed any light on this behavior? Does anyone know of a good tool to find files containing a specific string/pattern? Cygwin and some of the Unix tools works, but a GUI tool like Windows Search would be preferrable. Thanks. Tag: install program running Tag: 1903019

    - Share folder on corporate network, can't find on other end Hello, So for various reasons, the best way I can share this one file with several co-workers is to a share a file off my hard drive. We are all on the same network and anytime they'd need it my computer would be on. I was able to use Windows built in help to "Share the folder" with my co-workers but once on their machines I could not figure out how to go find the shared folder. I have a feeling I need an IP Address, and if so, you'll need to tell me how to find it. So how can I get this shared folder so that everyone can see it and access it? I am running Windows XP Pro as are all my co-workers. Thank you -- BlueWolverine MSE - Mech. Eng. Go BLUE! Tag: install program running Tag: 1902999

I need "complete" backup/restore for data retention, image recovery, boot restore, (int)(ext)ernal large HD, and (E)- SATA support.

Instead of having two icons (2-user accounts) on the first screen after booting, I now have a Windows dialog window where I have to type (rather than clicking my name) my account name; I then click OK.

    - SP3 - Access is denied Hi, I receive this "Access is denied"-error when trying to install the Service Pack 3 for Windows XP. When trackign down the error in the svcpack.log (see udnerneath), it has apparently something to do with missing rights on my registry, which is quit bizar because I am Administrator on my machine.

    - sp3 and ftp command line I just installed XP sp3 on a computer within our domain. Now, ftp from a command line does not work. It connects, you can login, you can change directories, you can rename and even delete files. But, if you try ls, dir, get, or send, those commands timeout. After those commands timeout, the connection remains open and you can still do the previous commands listed, but not get,send,ls,dir. Just as a test, I opened the ftp site from within IE and it works fine in there, I can copy and paste, rename, delete files. Windows Firewall and ICS are both disabled. Last Friday, I installed sp3 on my own workstation, and I do not have any of these same problems. So, to further test it, I installed sp3 on another computer. This third computer has the same problems with ftp that the first one has. And, something else that might be related... With a domain admin account, I can pull up Computer Management for my computer remotely, but not the 2 that have the ftp problems. And, this problem is usually fixed by disabling Windows Firewall or configuring Windows Firewall to allow those type connections. The only difference between these 3 computers is that on mine, I used our internal WSUS server to apply the service pack. The other 2 computers, I downloaded the sp3 distribution, WindowsXP-KB936929-SP3-x86-ENU.exe, from Microsoft and installed that. I didn't want to apply sp3 domain wide, so I figured I'd just install it on a few computers first. Any help would be much appreciated!! Tag: install program running Tag: 1902935

    - Difference Start/Turn Off/Standby VS Power Options Standby If wrong groups please advise. Is there any difference between going to sleep via method A and B (below): Method A: Start/Turn Off Computer/Standby Method B: Control Panel/Power Options/Standby (Ex: Standby after 15 minutes) The reason I ask is that I am having trouble w/ USB Flash drives. Using method A and waiting a while before waking up causes the drive to be unavailable until unplug and replug it in. It is visible in Explorer but you can't read/write to it. Using method B: The drives seem to work OK the next morning. The drives are plugged in to a powered USB hub. Win XP sp2 Thanks Tag: install program running Tag: 1902930

    - FAT32 extended partition not recognized as an XP Drive - but can I have a strange situation.. PC Info: AMD X2 4800+, 300gb Seagate SATA drive, 4 gb mem (2 sets dual channel), XP Media Edition. HD partitioned 4 drives (C & D - Fat32, E & F - NTFS) My PC froze last week and I had to press (Ugh!) the reset button. After it rebooted, it went into CHKDSK (which I expected), but it scanned my D Drive first, then went to C, and froze at 30%. After a while I finally reset it again and this time it scanned C: first and finished and then stated that it couldn't check D:, because D: was not an XP drive. My system starts (very, very slowly) and runs (very very slowly), and my D: drive is listed, but not accessible (not a windows drive). Now the weird (and Lucky) part.... I booted with a Win98se floppy and was able to get (using a great free long filename utility) my data off the D: drive, which DOS was able to display. I copied it to the C: drive for recovery off my network. Now the Questions... What can I do to get the D: drive to show back up in Windows and why can I see the data in DOS but not in windows? Has anyone else ever had something like this happen? Thanks, RJC Tag: install program running Tag: 1902908

    - no updates after repair install This system, WinXP home SP2, failed to boot, didn't even get up to windows loading, unable to get to safe mode IPL. After a repair install which went fine the system will not install any of the 93 outstanding updates. I use custom & choose "Review and install other updates If you do not install Windows XP Service Pack 3 (KB936929), other updates might still apply to your computer. " There is no error code given. they show 0 size and a disclaimer that the update is downloaded & if I select it will finish installing, which it does not do when selected. I have turned off virus scanning and used the Windows update trouble shooting to no avail. The system appears to be operating normally other than this problem. Any ideas or suggestions? ***************** Thank You kGbAT@msbx.net To reply to this email please remove the AT after the kGb in the reply to address as shown above.

    - Windows Time Problem Recently my Windows Date and Time has been acting up. I set the date and time and within four or five hours the time is wrong. Example: "At 1pm I set the time as 1:00 pm. By 5pm the Windows time displays 3:35, almost an hour and a half late. If I don't check it for a day or two, it actually shows the date and time as some time on the previous day. Is this a CMOS battery problem or something else. If it were a Cmos battery problem, wouldn't I be having boot problems (ie: error and boot to BIOS?). Thanks for the help. PS: I thought I posted this this morning but it didn't show up. Tag: install program running Tag: 1902752

    - Windows Task Manager Memory Usage Issue Hello, I am currently running a C++ program which is supposed to compute something in about three full (24 hours) days. I am a little panicked about the feedback I get from the Windows Task Manager about my program. More specifically, after I minimize the console application that is doing the computation, the Task Manager shows a very small (but growing) amount of memory (7Mb or so) being used by my program, but I know that my program, after some initializations, should use at least 300Mb (and maximum 500Mb, when the dynamically allocated memory is at the maximum). This makes me worry (hopefully irrationally) that Windows has done something --deallocated? -- with part of the memory that my program uses. A good sign is that the "commit charge" did not decrease, so I still hope that I am just witnessing a weird way of showing memory usage in the Task Manager and not anything more sinister. Can anyone with knowledge of how the Task Manager shows memory usage make me get rid of my fears? Alex P.S. I am using Windows XP. If other information about my system would be needed, please let me know. Tag: install program running Tag: 1902732
