    Actually, I think I read the same thing. But just looking at the message it's giving you gives me the impression that it's interpreting the whole string as a filename. It's worth a try without the quotes; if that doesn't work, I'd even venture a try with just the filename in quotes and the parameters listed after without them. It probably won't work any worse than it does now.:) "Ask not for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee..."

Michael Martin wrote: How do I tell which is pin 1 There's a couple of ways - the easy one is to look at the MB for a '1' next to one of the connector pins and match that up with the plug.

    Is your hard-drive formatted as NTFS or FAT32? I believe the security options only show up on NTFS drives.

    Hi Robert, thanks for the reply. Actually, I was just looking for some general information concerning the Vantive CRM product from an end users prospective. Basically, what the applications functionality are, what type industry is it geared towards, what can we do or not do with the application, how it compares to other CRM applications, if you recommend it or not, etc. Since Vantive no longer exists on its own (as you know PeopleSoft bought it out and integrated Vantive’s technology into its own CRM application), its difficult to find basic "brochure like" info on Vantive 8.6 CRM Thanks for the help!

    Good advice, I like to do this myself (clean install every so often), but I've only been running this installation for about 4 month now. I've previously run W2K for over a year with no problems whatsover, maybe I should go back... And each time I do a reinstall I say "this time I'll image the disk and keep a backup", but never do :rolleyes: Clones are people two.

    Use inet_addr and gethostbyaddr. Example: int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { WSADATA d; WSAStartup(MAKEWORD(2,2), &d); char szIP[] = "1.2.3.4"; long ip = inet\_addr(szIP); HOSTENT \*pHostent = gethostbyaddr((char\*)&ip,4,AF\_INET); if (pHostent) { printf("%s is %s", szIP, pHostent->h\_name); } return 0; }

    Bummer... The evil doer was back last night, this time hijacking my IP address. Since that wiped out my connection, I can at least take some consolation in knowing that he probably couldn't use it either. I got the mac address, though, and the ISP can block users from that info.:-D "Please don't put cigarette butts in the urinal.

    Great link - Thanks! I don't think a requirement for IE4 is much of a problem anymore, though I do have huge problems with MS no longer offerring the full IE as a download. I'm seeing very few versions lower than 5.0 installed on users' PCs these days. "Please don't put cigarette butts in the urinal.
