Help With Registry Please
turbopowerdmaxsteel replied to gigglecream's topic in Websites and Web Designing
Tried that out on my Windows XP Pro SP2 and it works. You need the hotfix and you have to create the correct registry key. Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System\Shutdown Value Name: ShowHibernateButton Type: REG_DWORD Value: 1 (Hexadecimal) Alternatively, you could use the registry imports that I exported just now to toggle the enabling and disabling. You can get them from this page on my site http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ -
Help With Registry Please
turbopowerdmaxsteel replied to gigglecream's topic in Websites and Web Designing
Ok I read the thread located at http://forums.xisto.com/topic/90033-topic/?findpost=1064346584 about the 4th Hibernate button update. Here's what I feel has happened to your system. Being preloaded with XP Home, your Windows had the hotfix KB893056 installed (or Win XP Home has the fourth button feature embedded in it). When you upgraded to XP Pro, the hotfix might have failed to upgrade (or as per the second case, the hotfix didn't exist altogether). Check the Add/Remove Programs and make sure the hotfix is being shown as installed. If not contact Microsoft for the hotfix at https://support.microsoft.com/contactus/?ws=support Microsoft states:- I wonder if it means that the non SP2 versions of XP do have the fourth button. Either ways, installing the hotfix should be the solution. -
Help With Registry Please

Although this is too simple a thing to miss out on..Check out if the Power Options properties contains the Hibernate Tab. You might have the Enable Hibernation checkbox unchecked. If the Hibernate Tab is not available, you are most likely having a driver incompatibility.Hibernate requires compatible drivers, but since you are upgrading from Win XP Home to Pro that shouldn't be the problem. You might still trying updating your drivers (The Graphics driver could be the most likely cause).Hibernation can also be disabled if you have more than 4 GB of RAM which is highly unlikely.By the way, I've never see the fourth hibernate button on the shutdown menu. The Hibernate button is overloaded into the stand by button. Holding down on the Shift key, toggles it to Hibernate (H being the accesskey). Another simple thing to miss out on. -
Visual Basic Names Visual Basic Variabe Names
turbopowerdmaxsteel replied to Athono's topic in Programming
I know we are getting a bit off topic, but...No matter what you call Microsoft's putting together of the trademark Visual Studio members, you can't deny that they have pioneered many new technologies. Let me state some pertaining to the revolutionary Visual Basic.VB6 is undisputedly the world's most popular language.> The name visual itself is very important, for the first time, people could drag and drop controls onto a design surface and see how a program would look without going through the lengthy edit-compile-test cycles required by other languages.> Stepping through code while debugging - just ask any VB developer if they could do without it.> The introduction of Active X Controls took the idea of code reusability to a completely new level. > VB was also the first popular general-purpose language to offer truly integrated database access.> The IDE concept that VB revolutionized has now been incorporated by non Microsoft products too (Delphi, Java).> Intellisense - It speeds up software development by reducing the amount of keyboard input required and allows less reference to external documentation due to embedded function signatures and short descriptions.True it lacked the pure object oriented power of other languages, but hasn't it caught up with .NET? As we programmers grow lazier day by day , changes such as these are greatly welcome and with the further advent of hi-tech sidekicks, we will do so even more. -
Google Search relies on page ranks to decide which pages of a site to include in the search index. One of the criteria in the evaluation of such page ranks is how many other sites refer to that page. The more the page rank of your site's pages, the greater is the chance that they will be included in the search listing. I have had simillar woes and resorted to advertising my pages on forums which are crawled by the google bot quite often. (It wasn't spamming, though) Finally, my pages appeared on google index. You can also submit a sitemap containing a list of the pages your site contains and submit it to google. That aids google in crawling your page, but doesn't guarantee listing. Check out https://support.google.com/webmasters/?hl=en for more information.

lol. Bots are surely getting smarter.These bots don't have serialized member no.s. Have they created more bots in the range (18928-18998) and only few have spammed this thread. Or is it that they wait for some hours to create a new account?

Thanks for reporting the issue. I've brought it to the notice of the administrators.

Sometimes, button smashing is the way to go. But, it can't be trusted for most of the combos. Like in Guity Gear X(X2), I can't do some of the overdrive attacks (2QF is what they are called, I presume) without button smashing.But, that doesn't mean I am a button smasher. Its just that to be the best you got to employ everything.

Secret Behind Your Nick/User Names Where did they come from?
turbopowerdmaxsteel replied to szupie's topic in Introductions
Yahoo! was the first place I required an ID. I inspired the nick name from the fictional Nano probe infused secret agent - Max Steel. I used this short program of mine to get a unique and cool name. Module Module1 Sub Main() Dim ReadText As String Console.WriteLine("Enter the probable words seperated by a comma:") ReadText = Console.ReadLine() Dim Params() As String = Split(ReadText, ",") Console.WriteLine(vbCrLf & "Use this Nick Name:" & MakeNickName(Params)) Console.ReadLine() End Sub Structure CoolWords Dim Word As String Dim CoolNess As Double End Structure Function MakeNickName(ByVal Parameters() As String) As String Dim TheCoolWords() As CoolWords = Nothing Dim Param As String Dim FinalNickName As String = "" Dim Message As String = "" Dim Character As Char Dim Counter As Short = 0 For Each Param In Parameters ReDim Preserve TheCoolWords(Counter) With TheCoolWords(Counter) For Each Character In Param .CoolNess += GetCharCoolness(LCase(Character)) Next .Word = Param .CoolNess = .CoolNess / Param.Length End With Counter += 1 Next Dim I As Integer, J As Integer For I = 0 To TheCoolWords.Length - 2 For J = I + 1 To TheCoolWords.Length - 1 If TheCoolWords(J).CoolNess > TheCoolWords(I).CoolNess Then Swap(TheCoolWords(I), TheCoolWords(J)) End If Next Next Dim Uniqueness As Double = 0 For I = 1 To 0 Step -1 Uniqueness += GetUniqueness(TheCoolWords(I).Word) FinalNickName &= LCase(Replace(TheCoolWords(I).Word, " ", "")) Next Return FinalNickName End Function Function GetCharCoolness(ByVal Character As Char) As Double Dim CoolString As String = "a23b43c43d56e78f45g45h34i67j96k56l67m76n45o78p78q34r47s78t88u56v56w84x85y76z94 00" If InStr(CoolString, Character) = 0 Then Return 0 Else Return Val(Mid$(Split(CoolString, Character)(1), 1, 2)) / 100 End Function Function GetUniqueness(ByVal Word As String) As Double Dim UniqueString As String = "Max Steel05Nano Probe infused94Secret Agent06N-Tek45T-Juice96Turbo Powered60X-Games05" If InStr(UniqueString, Word) = 0 Then Return 0 Else Return Val(Mid$(Split(UniqueString, Word)(1), 1, 2)) / 100 End Function Sub Swap(ByRef Value1, ByRef Value2) Dim Temp Temp = Value1 Value1 = Value2 Value2 = Temp End SubEnd Module With the input of "Max Steel,Nano Probe infused,Secret Agent,N-Tek,T-Juice,Turbo Powered,X-Games" I had before me turbopoweredmaxsteel. It didn't end there. Being on Yahoo! got me eventually banned from entering chat rooms, because of having more than 4 IDs in the same room. So I had to get a new one, and got the e removed from turbopowerdmaxsteel and thats how it has been ever since. -

From my experience, I think Wikipedia does a really good job. I have learnt about so many things from it. Hope they win the search engine battle .Either ways, we are going to be the winners.

I have tried everything to find out about the progressbar that Norton Internet Security 2006 uses during its preinstall scan. The search style of VB .NET 2005 's progressbar doesn't resemble the cool look of the one used by norton. Having checked the dependency of the Application, I found out that it uses comctl32.dll version 6.0.2600.2180. I cannot even add a reference to it in VB .NET. Can anyone tell me how do I use that control in my application? Or is it only possible in VC++ 7.1 in which Norton Internet Security was developed?

I think what you just wrote about GMail is a bunch of crap. Having given many other E-Mail Services a shot, I finally found one that fullfills all my needs (ok almost). GMail keeps up with Google's foundation goals -> Speed & Ease of Use. Talking about speed, I am yet to find a match for GMail. Try the basic HTML view if you want faster perfomance. The search option is the easiest way to get to old messages. I guess you didn't realize the fact that its FREE + POP3 Support, No annoying Ads, Strong Spam Filter, Alerts, Chat Conversations Archive. What more can you ask for without paying a penny? Although, I do agree with you on one thing - 2 GB is just too much (unless offcourse if you have Spam subscriptions).

Actually, I am trying to create a Download Manager (infact I have a sound working one). I want to make a class FTP Engine, which would do all the low level handlings and enable file downloads. For this I have delcated the following objects :- Dim WithEvents FTP0 As New FTPEngine Dim WithEvents FTP1 As New FTPEngine Dim WithEvents FTP2 As New FTPEngine Dim WithEvents FTP3 As New FTPEngine The problem I am facing, is the exception that I mentioned, being genereated whenever I try to Call Methods or Functions of an object of AxMSWinsockLib class. However, working with MSWinsockLib class, seems to be working.

The following is the code that I am testing with. The sckCom.close() method works fine, but the sckDat.close() method causes the following exception :- Exception of type 'System.Windows.Forms.AxHost+InvalidActiveXStateException' was thrown. I am not sure why this error is being generated. Also what are the differences betweem the two class libraries 'MSWinsockLib' & 'AxMSWinsockLib'.

I managed to fix the corrupt file, by resuming downloads from 50 KB back markers. I guess this should do it for the problem. -
