Hi all,
I have a pentium 2, 233 MHz, SDRAM 64 with win 95.
Now I wonder if it is possible to install win 2000 on this machine, if yes what is the procedure to achive this goal or what I have to think before I start the work.
Any help or pointer to site which describe this process.
regards

I doubt very much.
Although according to Microsoft 64 MB with 133 MHz is the min. sys. req. it still would run very very slow.
I mean I have Petium II 400 MHz / 310 MB Ram and still is not very fast. Probably adding another 64 MB would make things better.

I currently have a Pentium Pro 180MHz running Win2K. It does have a slight advantage with 96MB of RAM, but I don't think you'll have any problem installing on your machine. Although I much prefer using my new server for my daily work, the old Ppro machine did quite nicely for a long time - I'm just spoiled by the speed of the new one now
If you're certain that the rest of your hardware is compatible, go for it. On mine, I fired up the installation program, answered a couple of questions, then went to bed. In the morning it was fully installed and working, despite being only the Beta 3 release.

Roger, this guy has only 64 Megs of RAM !
Probably it's going to end up with all sorts of error messages due to lack of memory.
P.S. Please let me know if installation was successful.

I understand that, but I only had 96MB, an even slower CPU, and much older equipment. It's worth the risk, to my thinking. If it fails, he can always add RAM.

Hi all,
At home I want to connect atleast two to three PC's to test DCOM objects.
Right now I have a PC with winXP and other win95.
The computer with winXP is connected with 100Mbits internet connection.
Now my question is what hardware and software do I need so that I can build my own LAN.
Further I have network cards on both computers.
I would appreciate if someone can help me in this regards.
thanks in advance
regards

Assuming the network card in the Win95 PC is 10BASET or 100 BASET, you will need a network hub and one network cable for each PC. The networking software is already available as part of the operating systems for both but may need to be installed. Set them up with a common workgroup, or, if your XP system is a domain controller, you can set the Win95 PC up as a domain user.
Those are the basic requirements. Sounds like you have much of what you need already. Good luck.

Well, if you are going to use Peer to Peer network, that you don't even need to have a hub/switch.
All you need to do is create a workgroup, and add both PC's to it.
Another thing would be is to decide on what IP address to use. In my network I use private static IP's 10.x.x.x (and they should have same SubNet mask), but this won't work if you are going to connect to the internet!
In case of using DHCP, things get a bit more complicated, due to DHCP configuration.

With no switch you need a crossover cable to switch the TX and RX signals to the appropriate pins. Also, you need a switch as soon as you want to add a third PC.

True, third PC requires to have a HUB/Switch unless you have a PC with two interfaces, and some packet forwarding software.
Making cross-over cable is not really hard.

Hi,
Was just trying out a small sample code which allocates certain amount of memory(say 80 MB).Now the Task Manager shows certain amount of memory(xxxx). I generate 400000 random numbers and free of the memory in those locaitons. the random number funda is used to have a defragmented deallocation. Even after freeing almost half(40 MB) of memory the Task manager dosent seem to show the reduction. I guess, this is because of the defragmented deallocation which was done.Any suggetions or comments???

This is probably in the workings of the (MSVC I presume) CRT memory manager. Have a look at the malloc/free (and its implementation functions) sources and you'll see likely causes. Basically, it doesn't give up memory to the OS right away.
Disclaimer: This depends on the OS and version of the MS CRT! MSVC6+ using NT5+ uses the plain HeapAlloc API's where older versions do not, and IIRC it's only for allocations above/below a certain threshold.

1. This is the wrong forum.
2. When you do find the right forum you might explain a little more of how you're trying to connect (ODBC, DAO, ADO, OLEDB, RDO,... did I forget anything?), including what error messages/symptoms you get when trying to do what you want to do.

Is ther any way to clear the explorer address bar in w2k.
Clearing the history (as suggested by microsoft) does not clear the address bar history which is now very cluttered.
(I have also killed off the temp internet files & cookies)
I have searched the registry and scanned all files searching for the text but cannot find a match - it must be encrypted somewhere....
Any ideas ?

|

Hmmm... Nobody seems to be able to answer my question. Maybe there is no answer.
I have however come up with an alternative - it is a bit rough but fixes my clutter problem.
I have deleted and re-created my user account. (yuk !!)
Lucky I wasn't using the administrator account...
Thanks anyway...

The clear history has always worked for me. If it is still not working for you, aside from reinstalling IE, you could decrease the number of days that.it keeps page(s) in history from 20.

Hi all,
I created a service under account it is in network domain. when i start this service it return error:1069-- the service was started from an account which does not have logon as a service provilage.
Then I use the sample code provided by Microsoft to grant this provilage to this account this seems ok because all return value are ok. but start service still doesnot work. same problem.
I open the policy on local computer and i logon as this account.
return LsaAddAccountRights(
PolicyHandle, // open policy handle
AccountSid, // target SID
&PrivilegeString, // privileges
1 // privilege count
);
