I have problem on Windows 7 32-bit using Input Locale. In Croatia I use KB16 YU 852 for Input Locale definition and that work fine when I start batch mode on Win 7 prof. When I start 16-bit program (Clipper), in keyboard and monitor is code page 852. When I start some 32-bit program inside my clipper program ( command SWPRUNCMD() ) keyboard is still code page 852 , but monitor is not code page 852 ( I think it goes to 437 ).

I have been trying to install this for about three days now. I have yet to find a solution to the error message, and I have no money to ask support to fix the problem. I have tried stopping then restarting the Explorer.exe, did not work, I have tried uninstalling the only other one installed on my computer which is the 2005 version, and that did not work, I have tried turning off my firewall, still did not work, I have tried a clean boot, still did not work. I am down to my last known option of starting in Safe Mode, but I have doubts about that working when I have tried everything I could possibly find in solutions to this problem on the web. The error I keep gettin…

I have Microsoft Security Essentials installed. I was on a web page and a window popped up. The banner said Mircosoft Security Essentials and there were a couple of threats and boxes checked off. Underneath there was an option that said clean now. I did not click on said box, but instead ran a quick security scan and everything was fine. Should I click on the box that says clean now, if this ever happens again? The pop up was new to me and I did not know if it was a trick of some sort. Continue reading...

MacBook Pro 13 inch Mid 2012 2.5GHz i5 8GB Memory OSX 10.9.2 Failed to start up four times. Then started on next attempt. Screen started p with the grey apple. Then went grey and blank. Then the spinning clock appeared. Then it cycled endlessly plain grey screen and spinning clock, every five seconds or so. Eventually it started correctly, and I found this bit of Console report. Is there a permanent fault? Is there something failing that I need to fix? There was a lot more, but these are the only sections labelled with a crash. Continue reading...

I am setting up an environment with NFS. I have a setting where a SVR1 has two interfaces. I receive NFS-requests on one interface(192.168.122.2). I need to redirect these nfs request via the other interface(172.16.0.2) to another device SVR2(172.16.0.3).SVR2 does some processing,once it is completed,the nfs packets needs to come back to SVR1 for writing it. Here are the ip's of two interfaces: SVR1 - 192.168.122.2,172.16.0.2 SVR2 - 192.168.122.3,172.16.0.3 I need to redirect only nfs traffic.rpcinfo gives me these ports: 111-portmapper 4000-status 2049-nfs 4001-nlockmgr 4002-mountd How can I achieve this?Looking forward to your help.

I have experiened this problem quite a few times to no solution. I hope by making this post with some specific info about my hardware will help. I have an ASUS A42J laptop nvidia geforce 310M GPU intel core i5 4GB ram I try to install and setup nvidia drivers both 32bit and 64bit. when I restart I end up with a lot of crashing such that xorg won't start at all. Something about "no screens found" What am I doing wrong? Could it be that my card just isn't supported. I can imagine this is Nvidia's fault right? I think they needed a couple more fingers from Linus Continue reading...

I have core i5 with 8gb RAM. I have VMware workstation 10.0.1 installed on my machine. I have fedora 20 Desktop Edition installed on VMware as guest OS. I am working on linux kernel source code v 3.14.1. I am developing an I/O scheduler for linux kernel. After any modifications in code every time it takes around 1 hour and 30 minutes for compiling and installing the whole kernel code to see the changes. Compilation and Installation commands: make menuconfig make make modules make modules_install make install So my question is it possible to reduce 1 hour and 30 minutes time into only 10 to 15 minutes? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, mom…

Battery cases are great — they extend the usability of your iPhone for hours past what you get with the built in battery. But when the battery case runs out of juice, you're hosed, at least until you can charge it back up. Prong aims to fix that with the PWR case for iPhone 5 and 5s, coming this summer. It's available for pre-order for $65; when it goes on sale it'll cost $79.99. The PWR case incorporates a detachable backup battery and integrated plugs, so you can charge it in any outlet without needing a USB cable or a separate AC adapter. The battery pops off from an inner protective bumper, so you can still use your iPhone — protected from scratches and dings — whe…
