Do you have DNS running? You can't connect via a domain name without it and must use machine names instead.

If you entered a key that is not expected by your version of XP. Your group license key may have conflict with the key on the product. talk to your IT. Good luck! IT Pro

In that case, the registry is the wrong place (at least, current user is). Your alternative (if it's your app) would be to have the information in a publicly accessible file. Steve S [This signature space available for rent]

In the registry, under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AboutURLs, you can add any key you like, and redirect it to any other URL. Thank you Richard. I can see how they saw it as a security threat in some obscure "hey it tickles more than it hurts" way, but still, wish I could disable that fix :) Now lets see how how much damage I can do to my registry.... :-D Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa

It has been running continuouslybut I just tested this theory by putting in a few web addresses that I've never been to before and it found them straightaway. Must be something else... Cheers James

Were you using the administrator account? If you were then shame on you... you forgot that account :( Connect the drive up to another system pull off the data and start over.... If not, just log on as administrator and rest the account that you were using.

This is a programming question and should better reside in the Visual C++ forum. :| Having said that, here is the solution: #define HARDBREAK __asm int 3 void WINAPI ServiceMain( DWORD dwArgc, LPTSTR* apszArgs ) { ... HARDBREAK; ... } The above HARDBREAK macro inserts a hard-coded breakpoint into your code. (Software interrupt 3 is used for breakpoints on x86). If you run your service (via SCM) and control reaches this possition a "Unhandled exception" message box of windows will appear. Choose cancle to debug your app and - voila you will find yourself in the debugger with the app halted as exactly this position. From there you could single-step, insert watches, etc. Please post any F-ups to this to the Visual C++ Forum :cool: -- Daniel Lohmann http://www.losoft.de (Hey, this page is worth looking!

I'm not sure how accurate the temperature is. It is reporting 35 F which seems highly unlikely, but 35 C sounds about right. It could be a typo. You wouldn't have any ideas on how to access SMART progmatically would you?

There used to be a fault with older versions of foxpro that when moved to a faster machine (300MHz or faster, well that is fast for when foxpro2.5 was written ;)) it will start giving divide by zero errors on startup. There is a fix in the microsoft site somewhere. Stephen.

I'm assuming you want to develop for NT/Win2k/XP. I really don't know much about drivers for Win9x... Books Windows NT Device Driver Development - Peter G. Viscarola, W.Anthony Mason Gives a good start in driver development. Shows how to set up the development systems and use tools like WinDbg. Includes nice code samples. Inside Windows 2000 Third edition - David A. Solomon, Mark E. Russinovich A nice introduction to Windows 2000 system mechanics. Seems to be primarly written for advanced system administrators, but contains some nice information for developers too. No code, but lots of system experiments with the kernel debugger (a tool for live debugging included, although it probably must be updated at SysInternals webpage to work). Windows NT/2000 Native API Reference - Gary Nebbett A reference. Wait until you understand the basics, then get this one. Some say the information is to accurate to find out whitout the Windows source code. The author claims he had no such access. Internet SysInternals Webpage Useful, contains a lot of sourcecode. Microsoft DDK page Microsoft is releasing the new version of the DDK (next month, I think). If you have an MSDN subscribtion, you will be able to download for free. Otherwise, try using the old suite until you feel the need to upgrade... Hope this helps.

Problem solved! I think... XP will not share with users unless all users are using passwords - the default user setttings won't work. Yesterday I reconfigured all users to have passwords, then created a group for the db program users and added users to it. I re-installed the program and shared the db folder with the new group and, voila!, it worked:-) Many thanks to the authors of this[^] article! Maybe I'll summarize it and publish a tutorial for other CP users...
