    Port replicator and kvm switch combined functionality/ interoperability

    I have a port replicator, which connects via USB *only* to the laptop and terminates the mouse and keyboard via USB and the monitor via DVI or VGA. This works fine, but what if I also want an extra pc (or n computers) such that I can do KVM switching between the two or n pc's, without losing the...

    I am running Ubuntu 11.04 on a Desktop. I have an external USB 2.0 Dazzle Hi Speed SD card reader. Using this reader, I can view the contents of SD cards which are 2.0gb and below, but not 4gb and above, i.e. SDHC/ high capacity cards. For 4GB cards, the OS reports that the card is blank, and...

    I am encountering an R6025 ("No object has been instantiated to handle the pure virtual function call") error in a complex application. The error is intermittent and it is time consuming to reproduce. I have read that setting a breakpoint in purevirt.c at the line "_amsg_exit(_RT_PUREVIRT);"...

    hard drive partition problem

    My pc has a 256 GB hard drive partitioned into two 128GB NTFS partitions which the BIOS, Windows XP boot disk and Partition Magic/ fdisk all seem to think are primary partitions on two separate disks (1 and 2). None of these can delete or merge either of the two partitions because they don't...

    xp and removal of fat32 partition

    I have a 128Gb fat32 partition, drive D on my XP Home system. I created it using PartitionMagic and I want to remove it.

    Visual Studio.NET allows the Tools menu to be extended by doing the following: Tools> External Tools> Add > {enter appropriate values for Title/ Commands/ Arguments> Initial Directory} This works fine, but we have a number of external tools to add, large number of pc's at work, and we may want...

    What do I need to do to resolve the following link error? I am a bit dim-witted/inexperienced w.r.t. DLLs. I checked another project which linked the call o.k., but couldn't see where the settings had been modified to find the appropriate object. someproj error LNK2019: unresolved external...

    My cursor for editing code has entered an irritating mode whereby a character is always highlighted (flashing black square) instead of the cursor being between characters (flashing vertical bar). I must have inadevertently pressed a particular key combination. How do I revert back to normal...

    Apache security considerations

    I am a newbie to Apache. What are the security implications of installing Apache on XP (with Norton Internet Security running and behind a router)?

    XP Home - disablement of firewall

    With reference to the XP Home 'help and support' menu instructions pasted below on disablement of the internet firewall, step 3 bears no resemblance to what I actually see. There is no "Internet Connection Firewall" option, and I cannot find it, nor the "Protect my computer and network by...

    CD-RW

    I have a 24x10x40 MIRAI burnproof cd rewriter. It successfully writes to a Memorex 700mb 1x-4xCD-RW. It also writes ok to Imation 700mb 1x-52xCD-R, but fails to recognise Imation 10x-24x CD-RW. Why?

    I have an Allied Telesyn 2500 NIC for my Gigabyte motherboard with AMD Athlon 1500+ running Windows XP.
