Take a look at the parameters of Shutdown.exe (shutdown.exe /?) or run it in interactive mode (ie. with a GUI)(shutdown.exe \i). It lets you connect to and shutdown remote PCs...

have you tried the manufacturer support? _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau. Talk about things of tomorrow and the mice in the ceiling laugh. (Japanese Proverb)

no,i mean some part has no color though it is colory.

If your budget will allow, a minimum of a 2gig a64 or 3gig p4, 1 gig of ram (preferably 2), and a geforce6800 or better graphics card. Monitor and harddrive capacities to taste. With 2 gigs of ram this should be able to handle all of the latest games, with 1 gig you'll have a bit of a weak spot, but ram's an easy upgrade in the future. If your budget will allow, get a dualcore chip. It won't help much now, but newer games will be able to take advantage of the doubled processing capacity.

You should check everything before you buy a used PC. :) Farhan Noor Qureshi if (this == this) thow this;

'lspci' is your friend. Andrew The secret ingredient is love. Yep, love and a rock. Easy on the love...

This severely depends on what kind of processing you are planning to do while streaming the media, and the type of media being streamed, and the type of stream you want to offer. Audio-Streaming is less demanding than Video-streaming. "Forking"-streaming is less demanding than "on-demand"-streaming. (i.e. its easier to simply forward one input to several recipients than to have a seperate input stream for each client). "passthrough"-streaming is less demanding than "postprocessing"-streaming. (i.e. if you want to alter the stream or add some DRM, its going to cost you some performance.) Cheers, Sebastian -- Contra vim mortem non est medicamen in hortem.

I'm in a reasonable position to answer this, I guess, I've experience of AMD's from K6 through Athlon and AMD64, and Intels from 486 through every Pentium (except Pentium M) up to Pentium 4. At present, AMD's desktop processors (I'm meaning AMD64 - X2 as well, as the core's pretty much the same) have (IMO) much better development (compilation etc) performance than Pentium 4s. I've built the same project from scratch on a 3GHz P4 and an AMD64 3400+ (clock speed is 2.2GHz) and the AMD took about 2/3 of the time of the P4 - other factors such as disk and RAM were approximately equal (1GB RAM, they both had 7200RPM disks, although the one with the AMD64 was a laptop drive, so might have been a bit slower). Other CPU bound tasks display similar speed differences. However, I think Intel are probably back on track with the Core Solo/Duo range - the Pentium M's were always pretty good for performance. Anyway - processor/chipset related software issues? Nah, didn't have any of those. HTH

yeah, but that"s not much of a small form factor. Maximilien Lincourt Your Head A Splode - Strong Bad

OK thanks. That helps me understand things a little better. SuzyB If I had a better memory I would remember more.

I think you may also check your PC power supply, sometimes, the Power supply became unstable due to life time. I don't know what's the model of your power supply. usually, you have to consider your power supply after any upgrade your pc hardware. I just have a quick look on your post, you should got two pc, right? using the power supply of stable one to run the other.

Sounds like the MB only works with single-sided DIMMs, so the 128s are seen as 64s (64MB on each side, the MB only sees one side) --Mike-- Visual C++ MVP :cool: LINKS~! Ericahist | NEW!! PimpFish | CP SearchBar v3.0 | C++ Forum FAQ

Do a search, there are often *fixes* for specific drive models. The tigress is here :-D
