To do that you'll have to lock it down to a single machine using the mobo and hard drive serials, which would first require running something on the target machine to retrive that info before burning the CD.

Unless you can find some single use cd's thats going to be very hard. To erase a CD you'd have to use a re-writeable CD and to stop it from being erased all the user would have to do is eject the disk.
It'd be very hard to pull this off without some serious investment and top notch workers. Even then some one would still get around it if they had the motivation and time :P

Autorun can be prevented by depressing and holding the Shift-Button. Whoever knows that can simply copy the CD.

Many people also have autorun disabled because it annoys them and they will decide how to use their computer *glares at focus stealing apps*

Hi,
I have been looking around at some new memory devices. Unfortunately my hardware knowledge of the memory coding is limited. I have found people using PC4200 and DDR2-800,... but I do not know how they relate to each other.
Does any know where to find info on how PCxxxx relates to DDRxxx?
thanks,
Rich

Hi
How to find whether my application is running on laptop machine or desktop machine ?
any win api would help ? or any other thing needs to be looked up.

There isn't any API to do this. There really isn't any method of reliably determining this. Why should your application care?
|
|
|
|
|
The only reason I could think you'd want this is for power saving if on a laptop. In which case you want to check the power settings of the machine rather than find out if the machine is a laptop.

Thanks,
Only way I am thinking is have to search for battery if it's present then it's laptop otherwise it's desktop...

Do UPS systems use the same API for battery reporting as laptops? IF so this would only be able to definitively identify some systems as desktops.

I thought the same thing but then remebered that UPS is shown on a different tab to batteries and have a few different properties.

Hai Everybody,
I want to create an application in which i have to have a single CPU but the results has to be displayed in multiple monitors which are all connected to it. Can any one help me by specifying the requirements.

What is the platform are you working in. Please throw some more light over the requirements your project has. Also are you to use any specific Graphics Adapter.

Hi, I want to be able to set the wake-up (or resume) time on a PC by programatically changing the contents of the BIOS NVRAM. Does anyone know the detail of the mapping of the parameters within NVRAM (specifically the offset of the wakeup time hours, minutes, seconds location and also the checksum location) - I AM assuming that these are fixed as other applications seem to be able to "wake-up" PC's programmatically. I've been "Googling" for ages on this and haven't had any luck !
UPDATE:
Have now found that the RTC registers are what I need and they're accessable via port x'70' and x'71' Hopefully, I'm on my way !!!
-- modified at 18:01 Sunday 15th July, 2007
UPDATE 2:
Looks as though "something" is overwritting the RTC alarm registers at power down as they revert to the BIOS setup screen values. Anyone know anything about this ? (P.S. Believe the RTC is in the SiS962 south-bridge chip)
-- modified at 3:45 Monday 16th July, 2007

The "something" is the BIOS setting the desired values, because the standard application for the BIOS alarm is to wake up at the desired time. It is therefore important that the registers be written once again during powerdown.

Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,
Thanks for your reply !
I understand that the BIOS alarm values must be set into the RTC. But I would have thought that this would only happen when the BIOS setup screen was changed by the user - not at EVERY power down ! Accepting that this is what happens, where are the BIOS values stored in the interim and copied from ? My only thought is that it must be copied from NVRAM. Are they at fixed locations or dependent on the BIOS writer, and to be "hacked" by people like me that want to "zap" the process !!

Is there a way that I can have internet on both pc's?
I read something about using a "crossover cable" and an extra ethernet adapter in the original pc, but it seems to easy .
If this process is right, is there software needed, new drivers or a different "special" ethernet adapter?
Thanks
PS- If it makes any difference, I am using a seimens speedstream 4200 router.

That's not a router. It's a DSL modem. The two are very different.
You CAN do it using a couple of ethernet cards in one machine and Internet Connection Sharing, but that sucks.
You'd be better off getting an actual router and connecting both machines and the modem to the router.

Buy a cheap 10/100 switch (less than $20?).

Avoid wireless if you can. It's impossible to secure it.
