I'm using Flash MX and working on a drag and drop problem. This is a geography problem to correctly identify the countries of the world and I want the users to drag a text movie clip (the name of the country) and drop it over the correct location on an outline map of the continent. It's not...

I've downloaded QueryBrowser 1.1 in Win98SE on a Celeron 2.4 machine and when I try to open MySQLQueryBrowser.exe, I get a message "The LIBMYSQLUTIL.DLL is linked to missing export KERNEL.DLL:GlobalMemoryStatusEx". Any thoughts? Is this a Win98 thing? Roy Doorenbos Grinnell, IA

Dear Dian: Thanks! I had tried the instanceof operator and it didn't work either. I figured out that I had a duplicate view.jar file in the classpath of my plugin and eliminating one of them took care of the problem. Roy

I have a project for an elementary classroom and I'm trying to use Eclipse to access a MySQL database. I have a class called Student and I want to show a properties view for the students. I'm new to Eclipse and I'm having a hard time figuring out the IAdaptable interface. I've made Student...

I have a Hitachi DeskStar 60 GB that I was changing the cable and as I reached to pull the cable, I accidently bumped the "start" button from behind. I instantly found out that this will start the computer. So, as the cable was coming out, the power was started. Since then, I can't use it at...

The LIBMYSQLX.DLL file is linked to missing export KERNEL32.DLL:GetFileSizeEx" is a message I get every time I try to run MySQL QueryBrower. When I close the message, another is behind it saying that "A device attached to the system is not running". I've deleted and reloaded QB a number of...

I recently added a wireless card to a PIII Win98SE machine and I wasn't very pleased with it, so I went back to the Ethernet cable but it didn't work. It was the original NIC. I pulled the wireless NIC and its drivers, but no luck. I even pulled and reloaded the card and its drivers, but...

Thanks again for your time. I unplugged the keyboard without any change. I like the idea of pulling the battery to reset the BIOS. If that fails, I guess the thing goes! I find it hard to imagine a virus. The software came straight from Sun. Anything could happen. . . Roy

Thanks for the reply! It sounds like 5 short beeps, although the last one is maybe a little shorter than the rest. How do I find out what kind of BIOS I have? Roy

I have an older Win98SE PII 233mHz machine which I had removed an old version of Java2 getting ready to update some software. I downloaded j2sdk1.4.2_05, installed it and rebooted. It didn't reboot. It beeps 5 times, the screen stays dark and the "CapsLock" light is blinking. That's it...

That makes sense. Thanks! Roy

This might be a dumb question, but for some reason, I just need to know. For some reason, my autoexec.bat file disappeared. When I enter "path" in the DOS window, I get "C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND". Where did this entry come from? Is it stored in the registry somewhere? rdoor

I recently installed OOo on an xp server as a network install. When I go to the win98 workstations and try to install using "Setup" from the "Program" folder on the xp server, nothing seems to happen at all. I successfully installed on an xp workstation, but I can't get the win98 computers to...

I'm trying to make a variable size JFrame, depending on the number of components in it. The component in it is a scrollpane and in the scrollpane is a variable number of JPanels. I'd like to limit the size of the JFrame to 550 pixels, but I can't seem to get it done. It limits itself to 612...

I'm trying to print a JTable (in a JScrollPane in a JFrame) which has 8 rows and a header. I can fit 5 rows on the first page but the second page only will display the 6th row and a little of the 7th and none of the 8th. It appears to me that this is exactly what is showing on the screen and...
