If you visit ‘Add Counter’ window in (WinXP) perfmon and select the ‘Memory’ performance object, you see several counters in the list below. Available bytes, Cache bytes and so on.
But for some reason my machine (WinXP) shows only one counter in this section. It happens to be ‘Available Mbytes’, only one entry. I have no idea where the others have gone. 
I need to restore the default counters for ‘Memory’ performance object because I am working on a project which reads values of some of the counters I mentioned above. The code always fails on machine throwing an exception ‘instance name xxx is not valid for this counter category’
Can somebody help regarding what I can do to restore default performance counters?

Hi, in my small office use dial up networking to connect to the internet. But we use outlook express in order to send and receive mail. Because this computer are used by many people, what i want is to record the log of every sending and recieving e-mail. For example: Send From/To e-mail address, size of message, name of attachment file, subject and the period of sending or recieving e-mail. Is it possible to do that?

You can use GMail service. You need to set options to allow POP trafic. And when you do it you can use gmail with outlog. To see email send and recived you need to log on gmail account with browser and look in Send folder and you cann look under all mail. When outlog download an email from gmail, then the mail would not be deleted but it would store in all mail.
ps: To store the message you need to configure POP server to store it.

Hi
I'm about to do over my pc, will need to format. Lost my Norton Internet Securitys 2004 CD's container, which had the serial key on it. How do I find out what my NIS's serial key is?
Thanx!
|
|
|
|
|
You'll have to find the container. There is no way to ask the software what it is and no way to reverse it from something stored on the machine.
The other option is to call Symantec and see if they'll issue you a new serial number. There might be a fee for this though.

I couldn't find it in the registry either, and even if it was there - fat chance that it wouldnt be encrypted. Guess I'll go searching for a CD container with the words DO NOT LOSE THIS PRODUCT KEY written on the back. oi!
Thanx!

I dont know if I already posted this, excuse me if I posted already.
Through developing a printer driver I have stumbled on this question, there
are 2 types of surfaces Engine-managed, device-manged (standard and non
standard format).
In your opinion (and in the context of a printer driver) what is the best to
use and why? What are the differences between them and how are they
implemented? And above all is there any information or examples of each type
 (I know that MSPLOT in the DDK implements a Device-managed non standard
surface).
Thanks in advance

How do I apply certain group policy settings like hide desktop icons, disable task manager, etc. to a Windows user group? I need to it on a domain as well as on a workgroup computer.
|
|
|
|
|
Active Directory and normal Domains support Group Policies, workgroups do not.
If you want to know how to do this stuff, it's WAY beyond the scope of a forum. I would highly suggest picking up the Windows 2000 Server (or whatever server your using for your domain controller/Active Directory servers), Resource Kit.

I have created an index for the folder(windows2000 operating sys).
Now I want the script of Indexing. Where can I get the script?
Thanks,
Anant

What on earth are you talking about?
Script for index? There is no script. The index is for searching the filesystem and is stored in a folder off the root of the volume called System Volume Information, which you can't get to.

This is the answer that i need and just ask[^] you before.

No, that's NOT the same thing. What's in that folder is the Full Text Search indexing of files on the hard drive. It is not the FAT or MFT table.

Hi, does any one know please give me the resource or an instructure to do it:
1. I want the user that log on to my tablet pc, it would start Office OneNote to record the sound automatically. An application is minimize but not show in the task bar, it will keep itself running and an icon put on the system tray. When the user log off or turn off the computer, the sound recorder in onenote will save to specific location (Exp: C:\soundrecorder).
2. I want to record a log of user during the time that they turn on/off computer and during the time that user log on/off the user.

The answer could be yes and could be no. My main purpose to have this feature because i want to control my tablet pc only. On the other, it us useful to prevent unauthorize people to use my computer when i far away from it. If i really want to spy the other people, i will use spyware. But i'm not think in that way. Do you know how to do that?

Hi, I found the information on the HDD about its speed. The label on the HDD tell me some HDD speed is 7200RPM, 42RPM, 5400RPM. If the HDD already plug in to the system and user forget to check the label for the speed of the HDD, is it possible for us to check the HDD speed in the windows OS?

Why would you care about it? Seeing if you got what you purchased?
There's no classes or API function that specifically check this. You'd have to use low-level DeviceIO operations to get the status information from the drive itself. Exactly how this is done, like what commands to send and how to interpret the results, depend entirely on the drive.
But, if all you're doing is checking the drive RPM once, then you can use the diags disk, that comes from the manufacturer with the drive, to check the spindle speed. If not, download it from the manufacturers site. They all have them.

Thank you very much Dave for your comment.
Dave Kreskowiak wrote: Why would you care about it? Seeing if you got what you purchased?
The reason that i worry about it because when i purchase the new computer, i choose 7200 RPM in the specification of the hard drive. And when i get the computer, it is already set up and i don't want to remove the hard drive from the system unit to check it. That is why i want to find any tool just to check the speed of the hard drive.

Easy enough. Just download the diagnostics diskette image from the manufacturers web site. That will tell you everything you wated to know about the drive.

Hi, any electronic device when you use it for a long time it would in increase the temporature. For example TV, if you use and turn it off and after that you move it to any location (move because the TV is on the movable table) during the time that it steal hot, it would become easy to broken because the internal schema is hot and easy to disconnect from each other. Is the above statement is true? I do not have any reference or document about that, it just a comment from my friend. If the above statement is true, how about the tablet PC? People use it at school, during the time it turn on its internal schema would become hot and people use it on the hand and move around in the class. Is it easy to broken?

No, it's not.
What will kill the electronics more than anything is their own heat. Expansion and contraction from it's own heat will put more stress on the internals of the components than any moving of the device while it's "warm".
