When you select safe mode with command prompt, did you get into a windows command prompt? If you didn't, then you really need to look for your windows cd. The slax or knoppix is for your to backup your file, so that you can have the option to format and reinstall your windows. It can't help you restore your registry.

Instead of overclocking, you should upgrade your ram first. Vista needs at least 1GB of ram. I believe you're also running 1 piece of 512MB ram. I would recommend you to replace that 512MB with 2 stick of 1GB DDR2. That way, your vista will run much much faster, since it doesn't need to swap out the ram to your hard disk. Then at the same time utilizing dual channel for your ram. You need 2 piece of almost identical ram to properly achieve the benefit of dual channel. That should give you a bit more of the speed boost.If you overclock before upgrading your ram, you won't achieve anything, cause the bottleneck is not at your cpu at the moment

Windows Disk is your last resort. So you better start looking for one. Not all live linux distro can read NTFS, where most WinXP are installed on NTFS partition. Try SLAX

You have 3 ways to do this.1. When you boot into windows, when it shows the desktop background, try press Ctrl+Shift+Esc or Ctrl+Alt+Del, wait for a while. That should call up taskman. Under the Application tab, click on New Task. If the backup file is a .reg file, you just need to run regedit and import it. Or if the backup file is RegCleaner specific, then you can browse and call up regcleaner to undo the job.2. When you try to boot into safe mode, there's an varies option to boot, you choose Safe Mode with Command Prompt. Once booted, it won't show you the normal desktop, instead, it bring you to the command prompt. From there you can also call up regedit or with a bit of dir and cd, you can also call up regcleaner.3. Pop in windows setup disk, run automated recovery.If you have any important data on the hard disk, I recommend to boot with a live linux or plug the hard disk into another PC to backup your files first. But too bad you can't fix the registry with another running windows.Anyway, good luck

Most of the application are single-threaded. Multi-threaded application are normally those specialized software, like those for math simulation e.g. Mathlab, adobe photoshop, video encoder and so on. Like xboxrulz mentioned, AutoCAD and some of the games. Generally, very little are multi-threaded. Even if they are, they will perform well in 2 core system, as it's the mainstream system now. No company will produce software that only runs well in system where much less people is using. You can check out the system requirement for each software that you use most of the time, and see if it mention quad-core ready, or multi-core ready, something like that. The other way is to run it and see how it utilized your core in real life.

Short answer - Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor E8200 is a better choice.Long answer - Let me talk a bit of story from my experience. 2 Weeks back, I upgrade my PC from the single core Sempron 2600+ to Intel Core 2 Duo E4200. Well, it's not the top notch machine, but it does help to improve my productivity. After formatting and installing WinXP SP2, plus all my development tools, I fire up the Visual Studio 2003. The first thing I notice was, it's not much faster. Then I started to do some work, well, it just get smoother than before, but it's not what I'm expecting, blazing fast. The Core 2 Duo is suppose to be at least twice as fast. Then I go and load my firefox, call back my old session where I left off, with at least 20 tabs open. It's the same, not that much faster as well. I started thinking, maybe the bottleneck is at the hard disk drive even though I got a new 500GB to go with the new system. Later when I really get to work, running firefox, visual studio, then eclipse, all running at the same time. Then I slowly notice something, when all run together, they are as fast as when they run alone. Then I start to realize the performance point of view of having 2 core. You can do more job at the same time. With that much program running, I can still play with Need For Speed Underground smoothly.Much later then, I started to play attention to the cpu utilization. Most of the time, it only uses 1 core. When I do some video encoding, I will notice that 1 core is fully used up. The other core is still serving all my running program well. So, the rules of thumb, 2 Core is more than enough. I consider myself a heavy user, even then 2 core has already made me happy. Unless you do mathematical simulation or lots of video encoding, maybe 4 core is worth it. Else, stick with 2 Core, and since your choice of 2 core is having a faster FSB, go with it. Save the money and buy more ram.

Let's just cross our finger and good luck

Denial of external socket connection means all ports. You should first try to confirm if server C is in fact denying all external socket connection including MySQL. It's really not worth the effort to setup proxy via php. It's a very complex solution for a very simple problem. Running php based proxy will make you face more problem later, as proxy require more direct access to the host's hardware as oppose to conventional method. 99% of all web host limit such functionality as it post a huge risk of security. You can setup redirection to your subdomain on server C to your server A and host everything there. You can keep those non data related pages/images on server C if space is a constrain. Though the best practice is still keeping everything under one roof for easy maintenance and faster access(performance)

Yes, that's what you should be getting, meaning, you don't even need whitelist, the port is already open, and they allow external access Why not just host your pages and database on the same server. If you're worried about your domain name, you can assign it to another server of your choice. Yes, that's the way to put the port. If you ignore the port, it will use the default 3306. So, if you're using default port, you don't have to put it in the config. IP alone will do. I guess you mean "route" (round), since you can't make socket connection, i guess you can't route also, you still need a socket connection to route.

If you can telnet in via 3306, then it's accessable externally. Though you won't be able to do anything via your telnet connection, it's not meant to be connected that way. Thus, I don't see the purpose for ssh connection too. SSH is a secure version of telnet. It seems more that your server C is having problem accessing external databases. Some web server denied external socket connection, to prevent usage for illegal purposes. You can try connect to another external database to confirm, or check with server C's host

Can you access the database on server A from your down PC? If server A's database cannot be access external, maybe it's not meant to be done as such. You can write php script as proxy to do the query and return the result in xml form. You can refer to SQLYog, it's using such method to bypass those server that doesn't allow external access. Though the proxy feature is only available in the enterprise version of SQLyog. The opensource free version doesn't not. Anyway, you can get a trial version and find out how it works. If you're not doing much query, you can also write the php script for a limited number of function. I'ven't really tested this. http://www.phpclasses.org/package/4000-PHP-Execute-remote-MySQL-queries-across-the-Web.html. But it should works. Or you can look for something similar. Not sure about SSH. Normally there's simple way to solve problem. If it ended up with complex solution, think again, there's always simpler ones.

Yes, Win2k also has DNS Client. WinXP is actually based on the same kernel as Win2k with added features and much more user friendly. If you're happy with Win2k, plus you don't need the built in firewall, don't play directx game on it, you'll be fine. No need to upgrade. How about firewall? Do you have 3rd party firewall installed? I once had a more serious problem, something to do with TCP connection. Can't access internet at all. Later found a tool call winsockXPfix.exe. Well, it did the job. Here is another similar tool for win2k http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm. You might want to give that a try as well.

Looks like your DNS is partially down. When the ISP tech support replace your modem with a router, you said everything works perfect. Meaning it can access those sites that you claimed you can't earlier? If so, It seems to be more of the problem from your pc side. Assuming you're running WinXP, try check if the DNS Client service is running (Control Panel\Administrative Tools\Services). Then goto -> C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc. Open the "hosts" file with notepad. The default entries there should be 127.0.0.1 localhostIf there's anything else after localhost like this 127.0.0.1 localhost127.0.0.1 yahoo.com127.0.0.1 google.comit will cause yahoo and google not working. You can temporarily remove it. Make a backup copy just in case. Then check your firewall. Try to disable it for the mean time and see if it helps. Some firewall are known to be playing too smart. Preferably you restart the pc after every changes just to be sure. If it still doesn't work, then it's quite bad. Not sure if others have ideas i'ven't covered here. Worse case, you might need to try a fresh installed windows just to be sure. The last thing to be changed is your modem. Good luck

Well, sounds impossible. To prove it, I did tried it on MySQL 5.0 ran locally, well, it's not possible. I doubt it's an MySQL bug.It's very likely that you might have insert the FileID along with some random number, or file_id you get from some file function. Check your insert query. You can also post the code section that do the inserting.

All you need to do is use "GROUP BY" $sqlOverview = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM buildings b JOIN evolution e ON b.BuildingID = e.BuildingIDJOIN towns t ON e.TownID = t.TownID")GROUP BY t.TownID; I do have a bit of suggestion on your table structure. Since all your evolution are tied one-to-one to your building, you might as well just store the level at the building's table. Table: buildings field 1: BuildingID (primary key, auto-increment) field 2: BuildingName field 3: BuildingType field 4: BuildingDescription * Additional field 5: TownID (foreign key,) / link to TownID in towns table field 6: Level / current building level Unless of cause you want to store every evolution that building has been through, then you need to fetch the latest evolution from your table. When you start using group by, not all the data that falls under the same group is shown. Normally group by are used for counting subtotal of each groups. NOTE : I just notice that you want to show multiple tables of town, with buildings in each town's table. That you'll need to run your query for towns, and generate each table from there, while looping through, do another query to fetch buildings for that particular town, and display into the table. -> Loop through each town -> Loop through each building of that town JOIN is to combine and tabulate everything in one table

morphious69, It looks like you need a IO subsystem. Not really a pc for what you've mentioned. If you need multiple input level, then you might need to use ADC(analog-digital-converter) for multiple level detection. There's many variance to select from, including but not limited to, sampling speed (Hz to GHz), resolution (level, from 8bit(256 levels) to 24bit(16million levels) or more). So, it sounds more appropriate to be using an embedded board with enough IO for your purpose. You can also link multiple boards to increase the number of IO. If you need further processing capability, then you can feed the data to PC, possibly via USB, Firewire or PCI and PCIe. Those for PCI and PCIe are call data acquisition card. They comes in many chooses of configuration as well. I think that's more practical than turning the good old LPT(Parallel Port) into something that it's not.

ComRadKeL, I think it's very likely that the dll missing is the malware that you just removed. But your registry entries might still refer to it at the services or run section. What you can do is check the name of the 2 dll plus their location shown in the rundll error dialog, see if those are legit system dll file. You can also post the file and it's location here. Once confirm those are not legit dll files, you can do a search in the registry for the file, and delete entries related to it.Be warn, registry editing is quite dangerous, and might render your system unbootable if done wrongly.Another way to check is to bootup in safe mode (Press F5 after BIOS screen but before Windows' screen show up). In safe mode, those additional entries normally don't get call up, so the error dialog shouldn't appear.Anyway, the best to to find out about the missing dll first, then you can decide what to do next.

Just want to add another note on my experience here. Recently I helped to install an Acer Travelmate 6292 notebook. After installing winXP and all the driver, the system fail to power off nor restart. It will reach the "Windows is now shutting down" screen, then won't power off. So, need to press the power button for 4 seconds to force it to turn off. I did left it for 30minutes or so, but it won't help. Can't do anything also after fiddling around driver update and registries and so on. Found some info online, but also can't help. I know it's definitely caused by driver, cause I did restart before installing any driver, and it works. By the way, I install a few driver before I restart, so can't figure out exactly which driver is causing it.So, I ended up formatting the system, and reinstall everything from scratch. This time, when installing the driver, and restart each time. It was cause by the bluetooth driver (Bluesoleil). After searching online, and updated with the new driver, it won't solve the problem, damn. So I have to format and install everything again for the 3rd time. This time, right before I install the bluetooth driver, I do a image back. This is so that I can try different version of the bluetooth driver to see which one is working, since merely updating to newer version can't fix the broken windows. Later I found out that the version from the Bluesoleil website actually works, where as the one given in the Acer driver cd broke.Well, a good lesson to be learned. Don't even trust the driver given by the manufacturer. It might be broken without them knowing it. And always do make BACKUP. This has wasted me 2 days (The first day I did install everything including softwareS, what's why a lot of wasted hours)

When you say MP4, do you mean 3gpp? If you have problem opening the file using any editor such as Jeigh suggested windows movie maker, you can use SUPER to encode it to your desire format or the format that's support by the editor. This this case probably WMV. http://www.erightsoft.com/S6Kg1.html You can also try virtualdub, which is more powerful, and it's opensource. But it's a little steep on learning curve.

Actually the connection speed is the physical connection speed. It depends on the hardware and the condition of the line. Not related to the server. You can get connected at 56k if you're very near to the exchange. I used to get around 42 to 48k, with around 10km from the exchange. Then, as for what yordon mention, the server speed, it's the actual download speed you get. So, if you're connected at 56k, theoretically, you should be downloading at 56kbps/8bit = 7kB/s (kilo bytes), minus some protocol overhead, plus some compression, more or less there. But if you're downloading at only say 4kB/s, that means there's bottleneck somewhere. Either it's the server that you download from it's slow, which is not the case nowadays, or at least not happening here, or it's your ISP that's the bottleneck, as mention by yordon, the server is busy.

For us, it used to be RM99(USD30€20) to RM120(USD38/€25) per month. With 3GB of data limit per month. That's for the 2 big telco. Now the smaller one is putting up competition with RM66(USD21/€14) per month, and unlimited, which is quite within reach for most of the needy. Further more it's unlimited. But the speed is limited to EDGE only. Cause the smaller telco can get a 3G license to operate in our country, due to political reason. With EDGE, I've ran a speed test on speedtest.com, download is around 200kbps while upload is 40kbps. Ping = 900ms. That's why there's no data limit per month, cause no matter how much you download, it will never reach 3GB for sure. For normal surfing and minor downloading it's quite good. With 3G you can get up to a few mbps. But I've done any live testing yet.

I don't really recommend satellite broadband. You still need to connect via dial up for the uplink. The satellite only provides the downlink. If you want a satellite broadband that can do both uplink and downlink, it will cost you a fortune. So, for ordinary satellite broadband, the responds still depend on how fast is your dial up. If the dial up is slow, so is your satellite broadband. The other problem is, it will occupy your landline when you're online, since it needs the dial up connection. The only benefit of satellite broadband is it's downlink speed, which is very fast. But overall browsing experience will still be laggy. If you have copper line, doesn't mean you get broadband. There's 2 factor. The end connection cannot be more than 7km away from the closest exchange(at least it's true for my country), and there must put up a hub(some kind of split up and sharing device, not sure what's it's actually called) in your area, before you can start using broadband. Normally they won't install one unless there's demand in the area, cause it's quite expensive. It happen to my parent house. It took us 2 years before they come and install one. All the the active areas got it 2 years ahead of us. Anyway, shanus180, you can improve your existing dial up speed but checking into a few factor. 1. The distance of the phone line from the pole to your modem. Try connect to the closest point in the house and see if it improve. Then you'll know what to do next. 2. Branch off. To be able to run at more than 36.6kbps, you need a clear line, meaning low noise. The X2 or V.90 technology relied on the wider frequency band than the V.42 (36.6kbps). So you need a nice and low noise line. One thing that contribute to noisy line is branch off, or 2nd extension. It's quite normal in every house hold. You have a phone in the living room, and another in the kitchen. Then you branch off another one into your room for dial up. Each branch will decreases the impedance of the line, causing a miss match, and each branch also cause ringing. Not a telephone ring, but a signal ringing, where the electrical signal is bounce back from the end of the line of each branch, late coincide at the point of the branch, canceling out or retarded the signal. It's more obvious with high frequency. So, to avoid that, you can first try to pull out all the branches, not just the phone at the end of the line, but the line itself. Or plug your modem directly to the main inlet box. If you can achieve much higher speed than before. Then you might want to consider pulling a direct line from the main inlet box to your modem. Make the branch from the main inlet box. So, when you want to use dial up, you pull out the branch. Don't worry about incoming call, it's will be engage when you online anyway. Just remember to plug back when you're done. This does sound a bit tedious. I do have 2 more suggestion. If the branching is what causing the slow speed, then you might want to request for another phone line, straight to your modem. Or, subscribe to data plan from cell operator, if your area has EDGE/3G/HSDPA/UMTS/TDMA coverage. With 3G, you actually get speed close to broadband, at least for us here. Our broadband ain't that fast. If you surf a lot, make sure you get an unlimited data plan, also check the fine print if they limit your total bandwidth. Some limit to 3gb of data per month, even for "unlimited data plan".

I think what tody is trying say is whether he can use 2 cable and achieve 2.5 x 2 = 5mbps.Well, theoretically you can. I've seen that option for dial-up during the days of win98se. As for cable, it's more or less like load balancing on server system. So, our ordinary OS might not support load balancing, which is a pricy option.The other issue is like what yordan and jimmy89 mentioned, the speed of the external line. Even if you manage to use load balancing, the bottle neck is still the speed of the line outside your house. Unless they pull another cable all the way from the ISP to your house, else you still get 2.5 x 2 = 2.5One last thing. With 2 cable connected simultaneously, you need 2 account on your ISP side. I don't many would fork out double of the monthly rental to do that, unless it's for business.

Oh, I doesn't mean get a new gpu card, I meant get a compatible fanWow, at 82C, I can start making coffee and cook some eggs. Hopefully it doesn't cook my laps

How long you load it before it goes to 61C? Does it goes to 61C if you use the original clock speed? Well technically 61C is still OK. Normally I'll try to stay below 70C. If it reaches 61C in a short load, then you should try longer load and see if it reaches 70C. That will give you more reason to upgrade You need to bring it to the shop to look for compatible ones.
