Well if the database is located on disk then disk access is alot slower than RAM access, but if th database is located in memory then it's related to the type of database and such details...etc. Hope this helps:)

In operating systems: 1- Hardware interrupts have the highest priorities and you can't disable them in win2000 because its multitasking and doing so harms the scheduling using the clock interrupt! 2- Process Managers and Reincarnation servers and memory manager have always the highest priorities so you cannot beat them!

Ok this may be a bit complicated, are you planning to create a web application that sends messages to the users SMTP server, if this was the case you may use PHP or ASP.NET built in capabilities to do so and that is generally easy, or if you need it in C# you may access the SMTP port 25 which works similir to ping and hence get a request with the client's SMTP server, without the need to access the registry!! I hope this helps. Best Wishes Mark!:)

Let me first give you a tip, about never to write such sensitive code that is not portable on all systems, a better solution is to use specialized packages and technologies for that, now regarding your question I would 100% go to Perl or Python .Net embedded scripts... I hope this tip will help you..

Well your right for your explanation but let me add that the primary partition is the one that we can wright on their bootsector(located at the first sector from the first track(512KB) of your PRIMARY partition only which is also called BOOT partiton ) that is, operating systems may be installed on one till 4 primary partitons that gives you a chance for multi-boot(Windows, Linux, BSD Unix ..etc.) on same machine, and extended partitons cannot be boot partitions and thus they may hold logical drives for saving data only! I really do not agree with you that

Sebastian Schneider wrote:

"primary" simply indicated the "most basic partitioning system". Extended partitions are primary partitions, too.

Correct me if I am wrong!!

Your problem is a simple and classical one you are the adminstartor but can't access run, which is because its disabled in the registry, you try to run the registry but it was also disabled, so to fix it create a .NET program that uses the namespace Microsoft.Win32 to access the registry using Registry and RegistryKey ...(Hint: search MSDN for this namespace) and then program this program to : delete the key DisableRegistryTools (type=DWORD) with value 1 in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ to revive the registry delete previously made DWORD keys with value 1 in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ to re-enable RUN! And voila problem solved with this simple tweak!!!!! Hope this helps! :cool::cool: -- modified at 10:55 Thursday 13th September, 2007

1-Well I am a programmer! 2-Rarely 3-Well since its fast I use it to open some tutorials I download, I used to write C/Assembly languages code in it, but I created editors for these two so I am not using it alot now for code! 4-I already said I created my own tools for coding that can color the syntax for instance.:-D

Well I don't know about the application you are using, but I guess if you were able just to get this output in someway or another(not in excel) you may easily create a program that organizes the output in an excel table or such.

Your right about how to create a boot disk but the boot program on the first 512KB Sector is not DOS's one and you must know exactly where to find that specific boot sector program and not just any program!

Use System.Management namespace(hint: visit and search MSDN) because this namespace has all about attached hardware to your computer plus diagnosing them!!
