the song is ok, but the video looks like a bad cinematic from a bad computer game (circa 1993).

Might give it a try. I suspect its a visual studio problem, before anything else. Thanks though ;) "impossible" is just an opinion.

/me tries to do the menu in CSS and basically fails Well, I have an implementation that almost works in Firefox (2 and the latest build of 3, not sure about earlier build) and Opera (whatever is the latest stable build). IE7 (havent tested other versions) hates it completely though. Too bad I dont have enough time for this. CSS is sorta fun to play with. I guess I'll revisit this eventually... :badger:

If you have a lot of different lists, I agree that SQL Server is the best place to put it. If you have one list, and they have all sorts of different attributes you want to sort by, I'd keep it in XML and use an XSLT to reshape the XML to change what it's sorted by, as required.

This is exactly what I am thinking, but I've never delved deep enough into this to know much. What I do know, is that even if I apply my hook after VMWare window goes fullscreen (at least if I was VMWare, thats when I would hook the keyboard), mine still doesnt trigger. So I am thinking that it uses some sort of even lower-level hook. Like IRQ interrupts, perhaps? This is actually kinda funny. The reason I am doing the whole keyboard hooking thing is because my keyboard has those few extra keys (ie, play, stop, pause, etc), and I've had problems with the drivers for it in the past, so decided to either make my own (yeah, right. never tried, so maybe sometime in the future), or just simply hook the input, and then process the specific keys there. But since I spend quite a bit of time in a VMWare machine, the problem is very annoying.

I wrote a lengthy article here on file sharing in XP. It should be helpful and if you follow the steps you should be able to reproduce it on Vista as well. Click my profile and view my articles.

It doesn't work great for partition multi-boot, but drive multi-boot is great. I have managed both now though. For the former it is just more complicated, for the latter, it is pretty easy. You install Vista to one drive (virgin install) Install XP to the another drive after pulling the Vista drive (or reverse the two, but the point is to remove the drive so the OS install doesn't see the other one) Now you have two boot drives that never saw the other OS. Choose which drive to boot, install GAG on it, and set up bios to boot that drive. Now setup GAG to know which drive is which and now everything is pretty easy. You can do this with Linux and other OS's. _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau. Talk about things of tomorrow and the mice in the ceiling laugh. (Japanese Proverb)

Also, be aware that ESX server has a VERY restrictive hardware compatibility list. Basically, it's Intel and Broadcom network cards. That means no Marvell, no Realtek, etc.. you know, the stuff most people have. Only the most recent version supports SATA controllers (it's been entirely SCSI so far), and I think the choice in SATA controllers is very limiting. -- Where are we going?

<.< I should take a course in this whole "Subliminal messages" thing. Self-learning is obviously not cutting it..;P :badger:

IIRC from when I looked at the minimum specs to play back HD (not 100% sure since I don't have any p4 systems), your CPU (assuming single core) is around the bottom end of the minimum spec range and nowhere near the recommended level. It could just be the CPU hitting its limit. A geforce 8xxx or radeon 2xxx/3xxx series card might help since they offload a significant fraction of the HD playback process onto dedicated hardware.
