Finally found a way to get rid of the stupid ActiveX-warning when ActiveX-plugins (Flash) are disabled in Internet Explorer! Those who need it, know what I'm talking about. Let me say one thing first: I HATE Flash, I really do. Well and I LIKE Internet Explorer, I want to use Internet Explorer and I want to use it without Flash. This little workaround is for people who want to use Internet Explorer without Flash, and not for happy Firefox users with their nice flashblocker, alright. In Internet Explorer, when you disable ActiveX-Plugins, you get an extremely annoying window everytime a flash-file is found, saying something like "Your current security settings prohibit running ActiveX controls on this page. As a result, the page may not display correctly, blah bla blah ...". If you look through the Microsoft Knowledge Base, this silly pop-up cannot be disabled! I've been searching for a solution for a long time, and now I've finally found one, tested with Windows XP, guess it works with other windows version in the same way. Here it comes: 1. Get yourself a resource editor, like "Resource Hacker": http://www.angusj.com/resourcehacker/ 2. Search for the file "shdoclc.dll", usually located in c:\windows\system32\ or c:\winnt\system32\ 3. Load shdoclc.dll in Resource Hacker, go to "String Table" and go to element #503 4. In the right window you now see some of the IE alerts, simply delete the line 8033 !!! 5. Click on "Compile Script" 6. Save as shdoclc.dll in a different directory 7. Replace the old versions in ..\system32\ AND in ..\system32\dllcache\ with your new one, if necessary in safemode. That's all. You will never ever see the stupid pop-up again. GreetingZ to all happy IE Users -----Tutorial approved, with the replies moved here from the topic posted in the non-tutorial section-----szupie

You could try to choose .wmv-format instead of .mpg or .avi, that would take much less space and might be better for users with slow connections. In Windows XP you can create .wmv-files with the "Windows Movie Maker". GreetingZ

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think that as long as your hub is only a hub the whole thing will not work, what you need is a router! You could buy one or built one on your own out of an old computer, using fli4l http://www.fli4l.de/en/ or similar software. An alternative would be Windows' ICS, Internet Connection Sharing, but for this the 'second' computer alway needs the first one to be running. GreetingZ

Yes you're right, they want you to sign a form and fax it to them, only God knows why. But in their welcome mail they said "If you are unable to fax, please scan the fourth page and e-mail it back to us at betateam@xandros.com". So what I did ... I made a screenshot of page 4 of the pdf-file, tried to draw my signature with MS Paint, dropped it on the screenshot, put it in a file and mailed it to them. It worked, I've been accepted, even found my first bug, but things seem to run a bit slow in this beta programm. The betatester's forum is almost dead as it seems, only one or two posts a day, and there's only five or six active engineers who are working and communicating with the testers. But anyway, I'm telling all my friends that I'm an important XandrOS Betatester and they're all very impressed. :P GreetingZ 2 your Gentoo

Well, I've seen this cover photo on amzon: So if you want to now my theory: I think that some long beard is gonna be burning pretty soon! But what's that there in Harry's right hand? A barber's knife? Will he shave Dumbledore - ZZ Top's oldest member - in time? Will he s(h)ave him before the beard is burning? Well in some hours we probably will know more! GreetingZ

You're killing me! Is there a way to become a member of this family? Any unmarried family members yet? Please invite us all to your next sweet little pleasures of the body family events! Thanks in advance!

XandrOS Linux is looking for french or german speaking Betatesters for finnishing their localized releases of XandrOs 3.0, if you're interested click here: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ XandrOS (former Corel Linux) is a Linux distribution which is NOT free, you have to pay for the license, and it includes Codeweavers Crossover Office. Meanwhile they have released the Open Circulation Edition, which comes as a reduced version via bittorrent download WITHOUT Crossover Office. Anyway, the reason why I'm telling yo'all ... the cool thing about this Betatest is this: "At completion of the beta process you will receive a complimentary, licensed version of Xandros Desktop" .This usually costs US$89.95 ! So I think in this case betatesting is a pretty nice thing! For comparison, the thousands of Microsoft Betatesters - they get NOTHING for their work! So if you think Betatesting is cool, SIGN UP. GreetingZ

Well, poor me ... I don't have an internet connection at all! But believe it or not, I'm still the fastest! No no no ... I have 6000 downstream and 600 upstream since some weeks (600 kbs down/58kbs up), and I find this really fast. But is anyone really interested in what speed we have? Maybe a more interesting question would be how to INCREASE speed. (Registry settings, MTU settings and so on)GreetingZ

Oh, almost forgot the ASP.NET Web Matrix Project It's a free (and fast) WYSIWYG application development tool for ASP.NET, only 1,3MB in size, not as complex as the Visual Studio thing, real cool! AND ... every now and then Microsoft offers free asp.net hosting accounts with 20 MB HERE, unfortunately suspended again at the moment. GreetingZ

To all ASP.NET'ers: Microsoft offers the Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition Beta 2 for free! You can get it here: https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/site/search?f%5B0%5D.Type=Affiliation&f%5B0%5D.Value=DevLabs&f%5B0%5D.Text=Microsoft%20DevLabs If you want to test your ASP.NET applications on your local machine, you DO NOT really need the MS Internet Information Server (IIS) running, no! Get yourself the Cassini Webserver HERE. It's a tiny Webserver only responding to your localhost, if you try to connect from the Internet you get an error message. But you can hack this if you like (found this on MSDN): Open the file "request.cs" and uncomment the following lines: // Limit to local requests only if (!_conn.IsLocal) { _conn.WriteErrorAndClose(403); return; } Restart Cassini and you will have an asp.net-capable webserver running on your machine. GreetingZ

Just in case nothing of this works, check the BIOS settings! Sometimes USB-support is disabled in the BIOS for security reasons. Ok, you seem to have used USB before and BIOS setttings should not have changed alone, but who knows, just check it if nothing else works, I've had this before on a friend's computer.GreetingZ

Hi, I very much like the Graphical User Interface Gallery, you can find lots of crazy screenshots and information about new and old Operating Systems, including rarities like VisiOn or chinese Windows 3.2. Ok, Distrowatch has been mentioned before, but don't forget to take a look on Distrowatch's Related Links Site, especially on "Distributions on the waiting list"! GreetingZ

I guess Corel Photopaint is pretty good, it comes with the Corel Draw Suite. And Ulead Photoimpact sure also is an alternative. http://www.corel.com/de/ http://www.videostudiopro.com/en/?utm_source=ulead&utm_medium=redirect&utm_term=/&utm_campaign=ulead GreetingZ

I voted for Internet Explorer - ain't no other! - still the fastest! - extremely good looking!- full operating system integration! I don't like/need tabbed browsing, it only takes space away from my monitor, and I don't like/need pop-up-blocker and all that stuff. It's really nice that so many people are happy with Firefox, but me I'm happy with my good old IE. YES! GreetingZ

Hmmm ... perhaps he hates the Internet just BECAUSE he uses Firefox on his new computer? So hear my advice: deinstall Firefox and put out the old machine. All things will be fine. GreetingZ

I don't have any RAM at all!

But rss IS xml!!! For example take a lok at this rdf-file: http://www.ccc.de/rss/updates.rdf , this IS pure xml.data! It's doesn't matter whether your data comes from a file 'news.xml' or 'news.rdf' as long as the content is well-formed xml. In my example simply replace 'news.rdf' with the file you want to show. if ($result = xslt_process($xh, 'news.xml', 'news.xsl') GreetingZ

YES! In this example there is the rss-newsfeed-file called 'news.rdf', the stylesheet, in my case an xsl-stylesheet 'news.xsl' and the php-code which tells the server to throw the rdf-file against the xsl-file 'news.php'. Code goes like this: news.php [b][i]<?php$xh = xslt_create();if ($result = xslt_process($xh, 'news.rdf', 'news.xsl')) { echo $result;xslt_free($xh);}else {echo "<p>";echo xslt_error($xh);echo xslt_errno($xh);echo "</p>";xslt_free($xh);}?>[/i][/b] news.xsl [b][i]<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform/" method="html"/><xsl:template match="/"><xsl:for-each select="rss/channel/item"> <DIV STYLE="color:gray; font-size:10px; font-family:verdana"><a><xsl:attribute name="href"><xsl:value-of select="link"/></xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="target"><xsl:value-of select="title"/></xsl:attribute> <xsl:value-of select="title"/></a></DIV></xsl:for-each> </xsl:template></xsl:stylesheet>[/i][/b] For doing it this way the XSLT support (Sablotron) has got to be enabled. Depending on your server configuration you might have to write the complete path for the filenames in the php-code, like '/htdocs/blabla ../news.rdf' Try it, it's cool! GreetingZ

Mmmhhh ... whenever this MAGH comes out, some big fat oil company will buy the patent, just for NOT using it then. In this world if you make a great invention like this, you can sell it or you'll be killed. I think that inventions that could cause danger to the big companys have no real chance to hit the end-user. It's a crying shame.

Well I guess this little story shows us what a mighty strong and powerful Browser Internet Explorer really is! GrettingZ

THAT'S the point! I agree. I think that as soon 50% of the internet surfers use Firefox, this browser will be much more targetted! Little scriptkiddies and evil crackers are still searching for exploits for Internet Explorer. If IE would only be used by a minority (like Firefox these days), it would be appaer as the safest browser in the world. If you look at the car crash statistics of your country, how many Ferraris were involved in a car crash? And how many Volkswagens were involved in a car crash. Does that mean Ferrari is the safest car? You know what I'm trying to say. Firefox and other 'minority browsers' are not yet as much the taregt of the exploit finders as poor Internet Explorer is. GreetingZ

Wi-fi In Hotels Safe? = Sex in Bangkok without condom safe? Well, the only real safe way to use the internet is offline browsing I guess! Maybe some evil Telnet hackers could be a problem, BUT can you really trust the hotel employees? What if one of them sniffs the whole traffic? As Rudy says here, I agree that encrypting is the right choice when you use any kind of public access points.GreetingZ

Ah, "bad file descriptor", I've had the same problem with a php-file before, I wasn't able to change permissions. I deleted the file and uploaded it again, then it worked. Concerning the picture problem, I could only imagine that there is some kind of path problem OR the sql-database name is not correct. No other idea :lol:GreetingZ

Most of today' bigger Linux distributions have Apache, MySQL capabilities and everything else you need to run a server. Maybe XandrOS (formerly Corel Linux) is the right choice, it has an easy installation routine, or Linspire (formerly Lindows) which more or less imitates Windows. Downloading is easy, get an .iso-image and burn the CD, then install. You can find a large selection of distributions with informations about the features and download sources here: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ BUT .... if you run your own server, it's important to keep the security patches uptodate. Otherwise you can easily be hacked. It will be hard to configure your server correctly without any Linux experience. That's what everybody says. GreetingZ

Before installing the template, was the images directory set to "writable"? Sometimes you have to chmod files or directories before everything works. If the directory was not writable, the images are actually not there. GreetingZ
