    If you are not administrator, you wouldn't be able to change anything in regedit in the first place for all Windows after Windows 9x. This holds especially true on Windows Vista since the User Account Control will actually stop you and ask for an administrator password before you can even see the regedit.It also depends on the administrator, maybe the environment allows users to kill off software that may be clogging up the system but don't allow them to use the regedit.If it's something that a virus has caused, then obviously the regedit is available (unless that virus also blocked regedit access then you're screwed). Else, as you said, the regedit is access denied.xboxrulz

    I tend to only penalize people that steal posts off Google (or any other search engine therein). I never penalized anyone who linked their post back to their own website and that it can't be found on any other websites =S.If you feel wronged, just contact me and I'll see how I can sort out the mess.Heck, sometimes if I like something I posted that is both long and useful, I'll copy what I posted and paste it to my website in my blog. I just abide it like an open-source license like the BSD license.It is true that every moderator has a different stance. Unfortunately, we're just volunteers from around the world, and I'm afraid that each one of us have different views on this matter. I'm very lenient. As long as you don't plagiarize, I don't care. Copy and paste from your website ... just quote it if it's not your own work. I treat it like an essay or a part of a program. What programmer would rewrite things if it's already pre-written that they wrote and it still works?....xboxrulz

    This is the moment every Apple fan has been waiting for. Finally a solution to the bad Intel chipsets for the Macbooks. Also for a complete revolution in the Apple hardware.

    Let's take a look in what Apple has in store for us this time around!

    So what's new about these Apple notebooks?

    Macbook

    Intel Core 2 Duo Penryn 2.0 GHz or 2.4 GHz 1066 MHz FSB
    160 GB, 250GB or 320GB 5400RPM Hard Drive or 128GB SSD
    2GB DDR3-1066 RAM
    NVIDIA GeForce 9400M IGP
    2 USB 2.0
    8x SuperDrive
    Mini DisplayPort
    Backlit LED glass LCD screen
    All new aluminium casing
    All new multitouch glass trackpad
    All new backlit keyboard

    Macbook Pro

    Intel Core 2 Duo Penryn 2.4, 2.53 or 2.8 GHz 1066 MHz FSB
    250, 320GB 5400 or 7200 RPM Hard Drive or 128GB SSD
    2GB DDR3-1066 RAM
    NVIDIA GeForce 9400M IGP AND NVIDIA GeForce 9600GT w/ 512 MB GDDR3 discrete GPU
    2 USB 2.0
    1 FireWire 800
    8x SuperDrive
    Mini DisplayPort
    Backlit LED glass LCD screen
    All new aluminium casing
    All new multitouch glass trackpad
    All new backlit keyboard

    So what do all these specifications mean?
    It means that it is a behemoth of an Apple update. We haven't seen such changes to the Mac hardware since the introduction of the iBook and PowerBook G4 before the Intel transition. (Note that the bottom scenarios are what I see for common scenarios. Please don't hold me accountable if they are false and please correct me if I'm wrong).

    So what does this means for me if I'm a regular business user?
    Better battery lifespan, faster access and a much more intuitive design as a laptop and the new trackpad will make your organization much faster and efficient. Also this means that flash videos should not make your laptop sound like a jet engine. However, you may not benefit much unless you have the Santa Rosa or Napa revision.

    So what does this mean for gamers?
    Ever wanted to run Need for Speed: Carbon, Unreal Tournament 2004 or Call of Duty 4 on your Macbook? Sure, now you can ... smoothly! Enjoy this massive graphical upgrade! With Macbook Pros dual GPU, it'll mean that you can still game on the go without sucking so much power. Once you plug in, your game will go even smoother like a desktop.

    So what does this mean for graphics artists and/or movie editor?
    Ever thought that whenever you're running Adobe Photoshop or Final Cut Pro and your hardware starts whirling like mad? Now with this new graphical update, it means it's going to not only renders faster but your computer should no longer be a jet engine because of the redesign.

    So what does this mean for musicians?
    Like regular business users, you won't see much difference in this new revision. Refer to the business users section.

    So what does this mean for developers and power users?
    This is a massive upgrade, now to appeal to the new hardware, you can add better effects in your Mac games and software and for power users, now you can multitask ever more and work more efficiently since now the CPU would be even freer because of the new IGP/GPU!

    However, like many Mac users, I've been appalled at the fact that FireWire 400 was removed. It made no sense since other manufacturers are actually adding it (and calling it by its standard name: IEEE1394)

    All in it's a great update for people to get! It is the one that most people waited for. It is both a lot more environmental and it's even sexier ... as one can say. Also, the technology is way advanced than most laptops ... the glass LCD display, the new sleek glass trackpad and the use of DDR3 on a laptop!

    For the full version, with the images and layout, go to my page: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

    Your thoughts on the new revision?

    Are you using Vista or XP?

     

    In Vista, the audio system was rewritten and DirectSound was deprecated in favour of XAudio2 and OpenAL ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DirectSound

     

    DirectSound is currently emulated on Windows software mixer... so that can be creating problems for you. I know some old games won't work because of this issue. Your software might be getting this same problem since you're trying to do a hardware capture.

    That's nothing new because they've already done that to Windows Server 2008. The nearly GUI-less version is the Core edition and it's purpose is to offer a small, lightweight server OS with an as small as possible footprint so more Core-versions can be run using virtiualisation. The downside is that not all 'features' are available because .NET is required (.NET is not a part of the Core edition) and that all the configuration has to be done using the Powershell. I don't think Microsoft will release a Core edition of Windows 7, 90% of the end users won't be interested in it nor will be of any value.

    Remember that most computer users aren't computer scientists and they don't know crud about computers. Heck, most of them weren't even from the DOS/UNIX CLI days.

    Thus, Microsoft won't do that like what they did in Windows Server 2008. The only people that actually use the frontend of the server OS are administrators. (Unless, it's a thinclient server)

    Windows 7 is a new project that Microsoft is working in.Windows 7 is also know as Blackcomb and mistakenly thought as a "bootlegged" version of Vista.
    Blackcomb is expected to be released June 3rd 2009. Windows 7 has a impressive version of Paint as well.

    You can see the screenshot here(Screenshot is from Wikimedia.com): http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/
    As you can see as similar as Windows 7 is to Vista it is quite different.

    I believe that Windows 7 will be a great hit in Microsoft (At least that's what we hope,)
    What do you think Windows 7 will be like? New Features? Is there a point in creating it? Why or why not?
    _____________&_________________
    What additional information do you have on Windows 7?


    Nothing more than what was already discussed.

    I haven't made all things clear.
    By default, when a window is active or inactive.
    It will get a message then to redraw the window to represent it's state.
    I want to override this in tool window so that it won't draw the inactive state and therefore look like active.
    Thanks,


    Well, i understood that. However, I don't think anyone allowed this to happen because all the applications you see when you click on another focal point, it lists itself inactive. I think this is got to do with the operating system and not the programming language itself.

    I actually look forward to this new James Bond game. However, for my experience. It is very annoying to notice the fact that it keeps flickering every once in a while. Other than that, it is very smooth fluid gameplay and has a lot of potential to be the best Bond game since Rare's GoldenEye; which still claims the throne to be the best Bond game ever.I'm still deciding if I should get it for the PC (fearing that flicker glitch), Wii or on my XBOX 360. However, I still have Need for Speed: Undercover on my list first so most likely I'll go for that first instead.That and the fact I need to get Gears of War 2.xboxrulz
