    Where's the Cache?

    If the movies are played with certain plugins then it is possible that they are streamed, and thus would not be saved on your computer, and if it uses plugins, they wouldn't be stored in your browser's cache anyway. Otherwise try viewing the source of the page and download the video directly.

    Chat rooms

    I tried it and created my Habbo, but when it tried loading it just came up with a Shockwave error message and exited.

    Chat rooms

    Can anyone recommend any IRC-like chat rooms that do not reveal ones IP address to other chatters and do not require registration, etc. that have lots of people on all the time?

    Windows 98 Logon

    I don't think you should rely on Windows 98's login screen to provide much security. Windows 98 is a very insecure OS. You could use policies to heavily restrict the default and arbitrary users, and only give power to specified password protected users.

    Windows 98 Logon

    But that's not what he's asking. He wants to make it so that you cannot login without specified username and password pairs. Not to disable the login mechanism completely.

    Tiger?

    Isn't there a legitimate project that will emulate the Mac processor on the PC, provided you have the CDs for Mac OS X?

    Stop Explorer.exe from starting

    >> The explorer.exe file has to be loaded for Windows to function. << No it doesn't. You can use your own custom shell. Who needs the desktop anyway. There are even alternatives to Windows explorer desktop, like the ReactOS desktop. You can even make cmd.exe your shell. If you really do...

    Random Number Generator - worst application for 20USD

    Yeah, it's easy to generate pseudo-random numbers. So that's an outrageous price. But remember, don't rely on pseudo-random numbers for anything important, as they're not really random.

    Computer "turns off" then restarts

    Well, as a temporary fix, you can just log off and manually cut the power.

    What program can do this?

    You could also try Sandboxie. Sandboxie is similar to Deepfreeze, but works on a per-application level. Btw, is there any freeware program that will image my computer from within Windows and copy the image to a USB pen drive? I don't have a cd writer on the computer that I need to backup...

    windows server 03 VS Xp

    It is actually less compatible with some networking and other hardware. If you want to create your own Domain (login domain) for Windows XP Professional computers to log on to, then get 2003. If you want to have a large network with many computers connecting to a single computer, then get...

    Ingenious idea!?

    No. When it creates the files, it just creates an empty pretend hard drive for you. When you install a virtual machine, it doesn't do anything at all to your actual hard drive other than write to the virtual drive file. So you don't have to mess with partitioning your actual hard drive. What...

    Best Web OS

    EyeOS is the only one that I know of.

    Set limit to a folder

    Why not just create an NTFS partition but instead of giving it a drive letter, mount it as a folder in another drive?

    program cannot run in DOS mode

    The: "This program cannot be run in DOS mode." thing is just there for compatibility with MS-DOS. The EXE file format was introduced in DOS. Plain DOS cannot run Windows programs, and would choke on the rest of the executable--the computer would probably hang or do unexpected things if you...

    creating your own os?

    Well, you can start by writing a really simple one by writing directly to the bootsector of a floppy disk. But you'll soon find you run out of space. Also, the disk will have no usable filesystem. Then you can expand by using JMP. You can use BIOS interrups to write text on the screen. It's...

    Forcing Logon to a Specific User

    In Administrative tools, remove the Domain Users group and Domain Admins group from the Users and Administrator groups. Then add access to your own domain account into the local Users or Local Administrators account (whichever you prefer).

    creating your own os?

    I've actually written a small os a long time ago. I wrote it all in DEBUG, which comes with DOS and Windows. I remember that I wrote it directly to the boot sector of a floppy disk, and then simply reset the computer with the disk in the drive. I wrote it so that it would switch from real...

    STOP: 0x000000A5 BSOD

    Perhaps something happened to it? Check and see if the date and time are correct in the BIOS setup.
