1 megabyte = how many bytes?

Probably doesn't belong in Highly Technical, but here goes: The size of a Megabyte (and a kilobyte, for that matter) really depends on who you ask. If you ask a HD manufacturer, it's 1000 bytes/kb and 1000 kb/mb. Ask an OS or a disk utility, and the answer is 1024bytes/kb and 1024 kb/mb...

Should there be such a file as "rundll32.EXE"???

I've got it in C:\windows under Win98SE. My guess would be that the .exe is what powers the dll as dlls can't be executed by themselves. Again, it's just a guess.

PHP help

Normal users don't normally have /usr/sbin in their path. Try moving your script (or a copy of it) to /usr/bin, or some other place that normal users can access.

Multiple Inboxes with Outlook Express or normal Outlook?

You need to setup something called a "rule" and tell Outlook to move all messages from each account to a different folder that you create. The "rules wizard" makes this process fairly easy.

How to load a whole program into RAM?

Ummm... what would this accomplish? Windows won't dip into swap space until you run out of regular RAM anyway. Example: 1)You have 1GB of RAM. Windows has 1GB of RAM to work with. 2)You have 1GB of RAM. Windows has 500MB of RAM + 500MB of swap space stored in RAM. In both scenarios...

XP has a built-in firewall. It may be the source of your troubles. Does the ping actually say that it was blocked, or just that it timed out? If it just timed out, verify your ip in ipconfig.

Differences between v.92 and v.90

Try looking into _kbdhit(). I think it's one of those MS specific functions, but maybe I'm mistaken. Anyway, it returns non-zero if a character is waiting or zero otherwise. You can then call getch() to actually read the character if one is there.

Hosting a CS server with a router

The same way you did it with just port 27015. Just add 27000, 27001, etc. Also, to select both TCP and UDP, there's probably a little drop-down or a check box labeled "protocol" or something similar.

If the problem is confined to IE (I assume you're using IE based on the ActiveX), try redownloading/"upgrading" from MS. IE periodically dies on me, so I keep a copy of the installer on a CD and that normally fixes the problems.
