Hi, I have a set of laptops, some of which have an ATI video chipset. They are Dell model e1505. I am trying to script the installation of the video drivers and have run into a hitch: the INF->right click->Install doesn't seem to work for this driver: it just fails silently. The driver...

I have been working on a custom CMS/shopping cart to fulfill some specific customer needs and find myself constantly clicking "Resend" when asked by my browser if it is okay to resubmit. I know that can be avoided by posting via GET, but I have noticed that not many websites (eg. Paypal) use...

I am in the process of reviewing the designs of some third party (ie. some open source) databases that handle CMS and Webstore information in an attempt to choose one to fork into a standardized code base for the company I work with. One thing that I have seen is a varied approach to...

This may or may not be any help at all, but its a demonstration of where I am failing: http://robertcarpenter.net/bench/nested-floats.html I am working with a CSS 3 column layout: Some *bare bones* psuedo html/css <div id=left style=float:left width:100>...</div> <div id=right...

Hello...I have a real puzzler (at least for me) for you windows experts. I recently built an XP Pro system for a client and also purchased a Drobo for data storage. The system works well with one exception: the Drobo mounts as an internal drive, not a USB Mass storage device. So now, we...

There is no pressing need to do this...just laziness really. Is there a way to rearrange the left-to-right order that mysql thinks of my tables? I have some databases that were setup with a bunch of boolean values and the real data fields afterwords. When I SELECT * FROM table I have to scroll...

I posted something similar in the Puzzles for Programmers forum about three weeks ago...I got one reply directing me to post it here before the post was deleted. Ouch. I don't think that this is the right forum but I am just doing what I was told. I am looking to learn about modulized code...

I am going to try and explain this without dumping my whole database into this little box and hoping you all read it ;-). The design should be normal enough. If needed, I can post the definitions. I am setting up a multi-user CMS: a table for content, a table for users, and a table for...

I guess this is a survey question. When developing AJAX scripts how much attention should be given to parallel development of a non-AJAX version of the interface? The, for most people, quintessential example of well implemented AJAX, gmail, has full backwards compatibility: Basic HTML view...

Hi cabling experts...can you help me understand this one? My site has two buildings. We just moved in and I am charged with putting both buildings on the same network. There is a buried telephone trunk line between the two buildings (2x25 pair) which terminates into 66-blocks. Total cable...

Hello I am breaking into the flash coding realm and am finding some difficulty with writing repetitive code....I would like to find a way to streamline this code so it is not so repetitive. function update(){ if (!needsUpdate) return; needsUpdate = false; var tHeight, tWidth, tAlpha; if...

I manage a small windows network (~15 computers) with a tiny budget. I would like to get the computers to login to and be members of a domain so that adding a user is not a grueling monotonous task. But with our tiny budget any windows server is beyond out of the question even without CALs. I...

I am new-ish to programing on a posix system and trying to compile some simple opengl apps that I wrote on a windows system in college a few years ago. The code is simple and has no OS calls that ogl doesn't handle. When compiling, I get this: Basileus:gl project robertcarpenter$ g++ -L...

Is there an equivalent of the M$ context menu key on my MBP? I used to use it a lot on my windows laptop when posting in forums and such because Firefox has the spell checker built in --move the cursor into the work that it had underlined and press the context menu key to get its suggestions on...

Okay, so I upgraded to leopard. Its nice. I searched online for some tweaks and found the main thing I was looking for: turning off the 3-d look of the new dock. The process basically consisted of adding a line to the com.apple.dock.plist file via the terminal. Not a problem really. But it...

As per suggestions in thread779-1427937 I am attempting to install windows SteadyState on the computers I manage in a school building. Unfortunately, SteadyState is a 32-bit only program and the systems I am managing are all XP-64bit. Anybody have any ideas as to alternatives? Thanks...

I work for a small private school. We are just getting up our first computer lab (we used to just pass laptops around....) and are using XP-64bit on some new computers. Without the four-figure tech budget required to set up a domain, I am managing the computers without. It is pretty simple...

I have herd that there are ways to use Samba on a linux server to act as a primary domain controller for a windows network. The school I work with hosts about 20 computers and would like to avoid buying CALs for all of them, as well as the server price tag on windows server installations...

I am about to graduate with a degree in Computer Science and have been hired by a local school as their IT guy. Its a small startup private school that is just getting enough money for technology, and I am their first in house techy. We just got a new building and I was pleased to find that...

Hi, I am trying (and, atm, failing) to find a piece of software that I can use to authenticate certain security standards among *any* computer that wants to connect to our network. Currently our network is setup to allow wireless access to anyone on a guest AP outside the rest of our network...
