rockerfellerz, i know you're right about the 2 operations on the HDD. Infact i too believe that making any king of change (physical or logical) to the hard disk body itself in not so secure since it will be bypassed. BUT .... What if you swap AddressBus Lines 1 & 2 for example. Then an address...

Hear me, and hear me all well ..... THE FOLLOWING METHOD IS DEVELOPED BY MYSELF AS A WAY TO SECURE MY REMOVABLE MEDIA SO THEY CAN'T BE READ IN ANY OTHER COMPUTER !!!!! NOTE: This method required extensive technical skills and a lot of nerve (and coolness) to make it work. In the near future i...

Partially, ...... YES The installation software of Mustek WCam3X is really STUPID. Regarding Windows2000, you should login as the member ADMINISTRATOR, with Administrator priviledges (belongs to the Admin group). NOTE: If you login as another member ...... Boogey !!! e.x: I logged in as...

Hello. I'm a relative newbie !! How can i create an attribute and make it appear in ARIAL or any other font except the standard TXT font that AutoCAD 2000 uses? Thanks

For starters: Don't rely on the COM ports baud rate to find out your connection speed. There were many times when the actual connection speed was a lot faster with a lower COM port baud rate than with a faster one. If your MODEM is internal (I think yours is !!) then you should try and change...

Hello everyone. Is there any way to see (thru the code of an ActiveX control that i made) whether the properties of my control are being changed during design-mode or Run-time. The thing is that i want to prevent my ActiveX from executing the main body of a <Property Let> when in Design-time...

I can't say fo sure but i don't think copying these files (there must be 2 of them) would pose any problem. NOTE: Normally system files like these 2 are automatically copied by windows when they detect various hardware devices. In this case, i think the files had already been copied but somehow...

A PC hardware definetely does NOT support this kind of function. However ... I'm sure you can find someone that can build you a small DOS or WINDOWS application for you .... that would run in each boot and ask you for a password or some other ID confirmation (if you don't enter the right code...

I agree with pansophic but there might be a little bit more to it than just a simple driver mixup. In general a yellow mark (by 90%) indicates either a DMA channel conflict or an IRQ line conflict. 1. Go to Device Manager 2. If the first page you should be able to see a large textbox that says...

The automatic shutdown of a PC has to do with the following 4 things: 1. BIOS feature &quot;APM - Advanced Power Management&quot; must be setup correctly. 2. The power supply must be ATX type (almost all are !!). 3. Windows must be aware that APM is available. 4. You must enable the related...

Make sure you use the its own power supply transformer. The fact that the noise is produced ONLY when you plug it on the AC power supply indicates 1. The power supply transformer has a selector of AC input voltage (110V / 220V) and its turned onto the wrong power rating (110V in US, 220V in...

Many of us usually work (or have people that work) in long term projects that can take from couple of months to couple of years. If the development of software is done under Windows 2000 or XP then you might consider asking from your employees to HIBERNATE their computers instead of shutting...
