  1. Well I'm trying to make it automated hopefully as I don't really want to do this every 2 hours.

    I think I might just look around for something else to replace the m$ slideshow which will hopefully check for changes in the directory.

    Thanks.

  2. Does anybody know of a way to force windows xp to refresh the images being used in the slideshow screensaver at regular intervals?

    If thats not possible then does anybody know of a script which could stop the screensaver at regular intervals?

    Unfortunatly this isn't my area of expertise but have been asked to solve this problem.

    Many Thanks.

  3. SecondLife is the devils work and should be shutdown. Sorry.

    I just laugh at the number of security holes and breaches that they have had.

    I could say more but I probably would be told off for what I could say on this topic.

  4. Best idea is to go and spend a small amount of money on a DVD player that can playback DivX files. I've seen them for less that £30 in the UK so I imagine you can get them for a similar price worldwide.

    It will save you a lot of time transcoding and then with other problems that occur like audio becoming out of sync.

  5. I wouldnt say you cant do anything fun. If local security is down, you can use that to gain local admin rights and from local admin you can use that to take over active directory.

    Local admin won't be able to touch Active Directory, hence the name local. All that local admin would be able to do is screw up individual computers, which is not fun and easy to catch the offender.

  6. Well the problem with the fish tank idea is that the animals wouldn't like the distilled water and the water would soon become contaminated and thus kills your PC.

    I've seen a mod where one wall of the case was a fish tank but they weren't swimming around the components.

  7. Well it sounds like only the local security isn't working at the moment and seeming they are probably running an Active Directory which you won't have access to you can't do anything fun.

    Just read the other topics about school networks, you'll (hopefully) soon realise doing stuff like this at school is a fast way to ruining your chances in life.

  8. Simple answer is if you are asking these sort of questions then you shouldn't be watercooling your computer.

    If your desperate to watercool it then buy an all-in-one kit which will come with waterblocks, pump, resevoir, radiator and tubing. That way you will know that it will all work together.

    This is something that you don't jump to advanced before being a beginner as water cooling is all about experiance.

  9. Or if you are running windows 2000 or XP you can use Virtual Daemon Manager and make the iso run like a cd/dvd in a virtual-cd/dvd player.

    I use this Virtual Daemon Manager and a made iso of cd that i freq: use on my windowsXP laptop (I replaced the laptop cd/dvd player for a extra powerpack) and it works like a charm.

    Usefully but not very useful for installing Linux distros. You do need to burn those.

  10. If all it is is a lan party then why go to so much trouble? Just set up a share on one of the computers which people can put things into and take them.

    Even better you could make it a FTP server and then you can do some nifty things.

  11. You don't want to use the standard version of putty on a flash-stick on other machines other than your own. It stores information in the registry which isn't then removed.

    There is portaPutty for that job which stores that data in an XML file which can be stored on your flash drive.
