True, but if you can find a native version, as most id products have it would be far better than using winex!

Do you install the kernel source? If not you will need to get it from www.kernel.org and then read up on recompiling your kernel...

"higher than 1024 cylinder during boot up" That shouldn't be a problem anymore, and it definately doesn't explain why the lilo screen doesn't appear, as lilo should be in the MBR! Where did you install Lilo? did you put it in the MBR of the first harddrive (hda)?

A couple of things I can think of that may help! If you run: Hdparm -Tt /dev/hda (assuming you have linux on hda) what is the second speed? If it is 5 Mb/s then you do not have DMA enabled, try enabling with hdparm (see its help) if you can't DMA support may not be in the kernel (time to build...

Don't know much about mandrake, don't like it! :) However try 'modprobe emu10k1' if the module is available this will kick it off for your soundcard (and put this in your startup). If this isn't available you will have to recompile your kernel with emu10k1 as a module or built-in.

Linux is a great game system, RTCW and Quake 3 run faster for me under linux than windows (more FPS), also get less latency playing online! :) As for your problem look for README or INSTALL files, they normally have detailed instructions!

mmmm, I got them to clean the directory (down to 20,000 files) and the problem has not re-occured as yet.

Its a dual XEON server with 3GB of ram, and its only an archive directory. But I agree it is nuts, but they want proof, ie I can't find anywhere that MS say not to have 50,000+ files in a directory :( Some clients can be real troublesome! :(

P.S. When this problem occurs, there is also lots of strain on the server from many users.

eg. Code will say: copy file A to B delete A Most of the time it is OK but at times B is created correctly but when the "delete A" line is run it says "file not found". My theory is that because the directory that B is being placed contains approx 50,000+ files that...

LOL, Thanks again, and yes it is the Crystal Reports internal MAPI function that changes the working directory. Everything is fine until the client uses the MAPI export and the working directory gets changed..... Wish I could make the Crystal Window Modal as that would make life a lot easier...

I didn't know you could trap the maximise? how exactly is that done? P.S. Thanks for the ideas!

Yeah I understand it is a problem of Crystal Reports: however I am going to have to use Foxpro to get around the problem. Now one way to do this would be if I could tell when my foxpro application lost focus (not the form the entire application) and when it got focus back again, whereupon I...

Nobody has any ideas as to what event triggers if the application no longer has focus? sad if fox can't do it!

Yeah that doesn't work properly, you see the problem is when you create/display the crystal report it doesn't change the directory, it is only if the user clicks the export button on the crystal window and exports to MAPI then the working directory changes. Unfortunately if I followed your...
