Link statically.
Test it on fresh-installs.
Use VMWare for testing.

Don't write buggy code?
I have no problem at all creating software for 98/Me/NT4/W2K/XP. We dropped 95 for some API reasons.
Chances are you are depending on versions of DLLs that you shouldn't. Many times this is COMCTL32 (which is well documented so you only have yourself to blame.) Are you depending on SHLWAPI? Also not available on all versions of the operating systems and also well documented.
You depending on them having IE6 installed?
MDAC?
MFC?
CRTL?

I have windows xp proffesional.I install SQLServer2000 enterprise edition.When I wanted to install "SQL Server Components" it tell me it can't install server tools in this operating system and installed only client tools.
After installation I run Query analyzer.I have to connect to SQL Server.My compuetr name is 'MAZY' and I typed its name the name of server name.But when I clicked to connect to server I got this error:
---------------------------
SQL Query Analyzer
---------------------------
Unable to connect to server MAZY:
Server: Msg 17, Level 16, State 1
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][Shared Memory]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
I tried "windows authenication" and "SQL Server authenication" too.I get the same thing.In enterprise manager when I want to register my server I get the same error.Any idea?

I'm sure you can only install on a server, for example W2K Server.

You can install MSDE instead of SQL Server on your client machine. MSDE is the desktop version of SQL Server and is rather nice for developing applications targetted at SQL Server.

Hi CP,
This one's a little embarassing I enabled the "Auto-logon" feature on my Win2k box about 4 months ago (after re-installing the OS). I thought it'd be a great idea to do this 'cuz it'll be ready to go after I boot. Now I would like to use PSTools to do some remote administration from work, BUT I forgot the password. Does anyone know of any password recovery tools that I can use.
TIA

Hi,
As far as I know, password is stored in clear text on registry. Have you tried using TweakUI utility ?
Can't remember the exact location of the key that holds password. It is something along HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\Logon
Regards,
Venet.

Thanks Venet.
TweakUI does show the asterisks and lets me know how many characters it is. I downloaded a utilty that will reveal what the asterisks are in a text box, but not the TweakUI one. The Copy right-click is disabled as well, so i can't do a cut and paste. Grrrrrrrrr...
Any other ideas???

Hi Mark,
Well try another thing.
I just looked at my computer and found this registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
There should be some values there like
DefaultUserName and DefaultPassword
See if you can get those and let me know
Regards,
Venet.

Thanks again. Unfortunately, it's still a "no-go". I found the DefaultUserName key, but no DefaultPassword.
Any more ideas In the mean time, I'll try and find some more utilities.

Well if registry fails then you can try creating another username and add it to Administrator group. Then delete the old Administrator.
I'm runing of ideas now.
[edit]
Try this utility. I just tested and worked fine:

Thanks. Sorry this is such a delayed response. I created a new user with Admin priviledges. I can do everything from that account now, but I can't delete the old one. Oh well, c'est la vie.
Thanks again for all the suggestions.

Hi there,
You still have access to your computer (when you're sitting) at it, don't you?
Then why don't you just reset the password (Control Panel | Users and Password) and use the new one for remote control.
BTW, it's probably wise to disable autologon especially because since you do remote admin, you'll probably have your computer always connected.
gr,
Gertjan

Hey Gertjan,
Yeah. What I did was create another user with Admin privies. I tried to delete the old one, but wouldn't let me. I've disabled Auto-logon so this wouldn't happen again.
Anyways, thanks...

Hello,
I have a problem sending Email using outlook express From a client computer
which is connected through Microsofot Internet connection sharing.
My network is configured as such:
Server is running Win2k Pro and is connected to an ADSL modem.
Client computer is running WinXP pro.
10Mbps ethernet.
I have tried changing MTU size and configuring the cards to work both with
Half and full duplex modes.
Connecting the clinet directly to the ADSL modem results in no problems
sending email.
I would be gratefull if anyone that knows anything about this problem would
reply.
Thanx.

Could you post the error message? What IPs are you using for your internal network? Is your SMTP server located outside network? etc. etc.

Venet.

Does anyone know how to start Win2K from a remote machine without physically turning the machine on? (Yes, the machine is plugged in, and electricity is flowing to it at all times.)
It might sound crazy, but if you can shut your machine down without physically turning it OFF, why wouldn't you be able to do the opposite and start it up, without physically turning it ON?
I'm talking something almost similar to hibernating, in which the machine turns itself on at a certain time you had instructed it to do so. This, however, is for it to turn itself on upon receiving instruction to do so from a remote terminal.
Might there be something in the BIOS you can activate to do this?

Good point

Nope, it has to do with the network card. There are types of Network Cards that can remotely turn on PC (of course this needs to be supported by the BIOS as well). Technology is called WakeupOnLan.
It is based by sending a special packet (MAGIC PACKET) to your NIC and it will turn on the computer.

I notice that (in Win200 at least) the check on the 1st 2 bytes of an exe being 'MZ' does not take place.
Anything known?
