Best way to fix OS after new motherboard?

I have a new MB and the install of XP was done with another MB - same chipset, mostly same of everything, but it dies and reboots every hour or so. In safe mode it is completely stable. I had first booted up into regular mode (oops) but later on when I booted into safe mode it did install...

Taking on large programming projects * project complete *

I agree that 3 months is quite short. It's really up to management to coordinate things well, to lay out some philosophy about how people are going to work together. You just need to decide how the work is going to be shared and who is going to do what.

Thanks.. I am loading a text file into memory for some processing. 4 GB is probably not very likely :)

File size question in Win32

I'm trying to get the file size in the most kosher way and I read that this is the proper way to do it, although 4 GB files are rare I guess. I get a warning : C:\DirListen\DirListener.cpp(98) : warning C4307: '+' : integral constant overflow This is obviously because MAXWORD + 1 overflows...

for 25 years - zero cavities

Another problem is the technology involved - the older technology uses a probe which can only find cavities after they have reached a certain size. This combined with the fact that cavities can take a long time to grow can probably lead to the situation that people talk about - finding lots of...

Outlook Changes Color Depth.

We have one user who when Outlook (2002 I think) is launched it will change the color depth and resolution of the screen. When we exit from it it changes it back again to normal. It seems to have an affinity for the 8 bit color depth, so it seems to be just changing the color depth. This is...

If it were running on the battery, it could be a bad battery. Also if it's just 1 year old, is it possible it's under warranty? I know some warranty's are only 1 year.

Need ideas for a generic Objective on a resume.
