Are you talking about Windows Me and XP's system restore feature (which by default uses about 10% per drive as "back-up"?)

I just have to chuckle ;)

Hey, peeps! Everyone over here of course knows Tekmaven and MAD_DOG ... they've been huge helps over here since the start! In fact, Tekmaven was just promoted to global moderator. In any case, the two of them are in the middle of revamping [url=http://www.pcmodkingdom.tk]http://www.pcmodkingdom.tk[/url] and it's coming along very, very …

link please?

Personally, I never understood why Outlook always makes the name of the default profile "Default" instead of using the username of the person logged in.

As you've all probably noticed, I'm redoing the entire look of TechTalk Forums one page at a time. However, I just want to clear up that this really isn't what I'm doing. My redo is focused around the back-end PHP code. I'm simplifying the front-end look slightly, but only temporarily. …

Actually ... let me clear up what I'm doing right now. I've been spending night and day redoing the TechTalk website, but NOT the front-end stuff! The php code for the YaBB script is extraordinarily messy, uncommented, and has HTML code with like 5000 nested tables hard-coded into all these …

I'm still working on the new TechTalk design ... all back-end stuff .......... So far 18 hours straight! (ARGH)

I know, I know ... still no info center. It's coming soon. Good thing is I'm actually learning php!! The purpose of this message is just to test that this "calendar event" appears in the new info center.

There was a close call tonight! We almost lost most of our entire database! Luckily (after a few hours on edge) I was able to restore a back-up of a MySQL dump.

Congratulations, Tekmaven, our newest Global Moderator. Tekmaven has been with us since the beginning and has done a great job! Kudos to both global moderators, Tekmaven and inscissor. Kudos should also go out to our other moderators, MAD_DOG and AlPhA !! :D

I moved the Novell topic from the Networking category to the OS Tech Support section. Hopefully it'll fit in better here!

New portal set up! This is a replacement for Tekmaven's post about the topic, which unfortunately got lost when we had a scare and I had to restore an older version of the database.

Woo hoo! I was able to restore a back-up of TechTalk Forums ... we lost a few messages though :o (sorry about that) The back-up was from early yesterday and we lost about 10 posts. Not too bad!

I want to set up the ever popular fortune program to display a random fortune each time a user logs in. The program is installed, but which config file do I need to edit to get the program to automatically run after each successful login?

heh - niiice ... btw, if you're having a problem getting the forum to recognize a full link, surround it in [code][url]http://blah[/url][/code] This way the link doesn't break off before the URL ends

I heard it won't be called Windows .NET anymore? Now it's server 2003 or something? In any case, just curious, is this a complete server operating system only? (e.g. upgrade from Win2K Advanced server, terminal server, etc) Not an upgrade to XP, right?

Sorry I'm soooooo late with a reply ...... figure out the problem yet? Have you checked NVidia's site for the latest Detonator drivers. Other than that ... check for NVidia-related patches for the games themselves

BRB - gotta go upgrade my Win2k pc!

Okay, so this forum uses PHP with MySQL... I have access to PHPMyAdmin on a remote server. I have been making periodic back-ups (dumps of the tables) but I'm always afraid that when I need them most, they'll fail on me. There isn't by any chance an easier way to …

After being up all night ... Not only do we have a new look, but the entire site is condensed. There are now fewer topics, which should make it easier to decide where to post. Let me know ...

ATTN: VMWare users!! Please help me! ... (sorry this post is so long, I tried to be very thorough) I have a WindowsXP computer with two nic cards. One of them is connected to a cable modem and another to a hub. Also connected to the hub are a linux …

Please help me!! I'm so frustrated. I know I have been a bit absent from techtalk lately but I've been super ultra busy ... one of my latest endeavors is working with Linux. I have a Red Hat 7.3 system set up right now which works perfectly except for one …

To change? You mean to overclock? Ususally overclocking lets you get maybe 133MHz more out of your processor, but nothing is going to turn a PII into a PIII. On the other hand ... if you mean is it possible to swap out processors in a computer. Well, that depends …

It's been months. I take that as a no. BTW ... Just so that you can be all happy that you've waited months and finally gotten a reply to this post only to find a nonsense comment ... here's a nice smilie face to cheer ya up! :P Now don't …

Obviously ............ we have a whole new design here! Like it? Yes, no, maybe so? This time around there's complete customization ... so any feature you want, I'll definitely look into asap! I took everyone's opinion and decided to put the main forum index back onto the main page (it …

Cool any news when SP1 will be officially released? I think I might've heard the end of August??

I'm confused. What do you mean by "fix it" ?? Are you trying to reinstall it? I'm confused ... I can help you if you give more info as to what you would like to do.

grokster? Is that a file sharing program like Napster or Morpheus? I'm not sure ... As far as using FTP, use an ftp program such as WS_FTP or, my favorite, SmartFTP (http://www.smartftp.com) File sharing programs don't use standard FTP server/clients to transfer ... they use their proprietary ports ...

Great minds think alike! I've already been doing that over at the forums at [url]www.computing.net[/url]. I've been responding to a fair number of posts, and I sign each one of my responses: TechTalk Forums [url]http://www.techtalkforums.com[/url] The problem with that is it is awfully time consuming. And not only that, but …

Hmm ... no posts lately? I have been working my ass off everyday trying to promote this site, but to no avail. We've been getting a fair share of visitors, but no one seems to want to post or register >:( How frustrating! I would expect most people who visit …

So... how's your new ram? Make a big difference?

You do know, of course, that as global moderator you can easily move misplaced threads, inscissor *hint hint*

We've got a new calendar integrated with our forum!! Lemme know what you think, etc. The colors still need to be changed a bit, and some other stuff still needs to be added, but ... well ... it's a start!

I'm just sooooo not an ATI person. I used to have a Rage 128 and then a Radeon. When I realized that there weren't any good linux drivers for the Radeon I switched to Nvidia and never went back.

After hours and hours of work, it looks like all of the back-end code behind TechTalk is just about completely finished! All of the code has been optimized and (hopefully) I tried realllllly hard to make sure all the HTML code has been optimized. All I need is a lil …

I just noticed the darn JavaScript jumpbox doesn't work on all of the pages! The code is the exact same for all of 'em ... I dunno what its problem is. I'm studying chemistry and computer architecture for 2 midterms right now ... but as soon as I get a …

OOh kewl ... wow SB finally decided to post WinXP versions of the Live!ware software. Too bad Audigy has been out for quite a while already! Anywayz, thanx, I'm off to upgrade LiveWare ... (Once again, Dani dreams of an Audigy)

Bruce Almighty was really good :) I just saw it recently too. I used to absolutely hate Jim Carrey when he did all that stuff like Ace Ventura but ever since The Truman Show I have loved him.

Hmm ... the only 3D programs I've ever used have been Amorphium, Bryce, and Poser. I don't think any of them are specifically targeted towards any Macromedia software however. I live in Dreamweaver (and Photoshop, but that's besides the point) but when it comes to anything else by Macromedia, I'm …

This board formally dedicated to aeinstein :) Is this what you had wanted? ??? I'm still confused! ;D

Oh how honored! TechTalk the homepage on your mac! I guess I didn't think ahead in creating a links board :( so I guess the coffee house is the best place ... Of course, people are posting links all over. Incidently, do you think I should create a new links …

I think inscissor was having the same problem before and he cleared out his IE Temporary Internet Files (not cookies) and the problem seems to have been fixed? (I dunno!) Maybe he should come check this thread ... ;D

Is it possible to do some rudiamentary X86 stuff with cgywin? (i.e. lets say you wanted to write Liang's stick figure program which uses QT)

Yup ... but you don't want my opinion ;D It's basically the same as previous versions of VB, with a few lil statements changed. Also, it's more object oriented, if that's even possible. For just about every single command, you have to specify the exact object/object property you are talking …

So ... whatcha think? The first choice is the way it is now. The last choice is the most condensed (but also provides the least amount of info).

I hand-redid the entire database. I reentered all the values in - half of them were screwed up from the conversion. After altering 1000+ cells of tables of the database, let me know pleeeeez if anything at all doesn't work or look right. Thanks!

Guess which lil gal programmer/comp sci major is going to finally get around to taking her A+ sometime this summer (eh, got nothing better to do!) ?
