windows-xp

I have a clean installation of Windows XP (Professional, Version 2002, Service Pack 3) in VMware Fusion virtual machine (3.1.2 332101). (Host machine is MacBook Pro, Mac OS 10.6.7.) XP installation has 512 MB RAM and is fully updated, except I left Internet Explorer at version 6. I have installed Ruby and RubyGems: C:\Documents and Settings\zeljko>gem env RubyGems Environment: - RUBYGEMS VERSION: 1.6.2 - RUBY VERSION: 1.8.7 (2011-02-18 patchlevel 334) [i386-mingw32] - INSTALLATION DIRECTORY: C:/Ruby187/lib/ruby/gems/1.8 - RUBY EXECUTABLE: C:/Ruby187/bin/ruby.exe - EXECUTABLE DIRECTORY: C:

I have a little bit of C programming experience from school, but it was all Unix. I want to compile some C with Emacs, using Emacs as a second IDE. What is the easiest way to go about doing this? I downloaded Cygwin with no successful compile of a helloWorld.c in Emacs. Even opening the cygwin command prompt (shell or whatever its called), it doesn't recognize gcc as a command. Error 'make' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. I need a compiler that works on Windows, is free (or comes with visual studio), and can be used with Emacs. What to type

We are a small hardware manufacturer. Most of our products use USB for programming the controllers used. The current situation is that programming the hardware (part of the assembly processor) is rather labour intensive. Each time a new USB device gets plugged in Windows prompts for a driver install. This means that for each new product we have to go through a process of "no, don't go to internet" --> "yes, search automatically" --> "done". We even have to do this twice for each product. I have been experimenting with the Windows preinstaller (DPInst), but this seems to only facilitate a

We've all seen it and now I want to do it. How may I go about achieving this effect with a winforms application? alt text http://www.activewin.com/winvista/images/Windows%20Media%20Player%20-%20Taskbar%20Player.png You are probably going to want to start reading about Desk Bands . It's not an easy process, and you won't be able to just put your winforms application in the task bar. It also depends on what version of Windows you want to target, as tommieb75 pointed out, the newer versions of windows have better integrating capabilities. In addition to the above, the Windows v6.1 SDK includes a

I need custom OIDs for monitoring some of my software states. But I just can't understand: how can I create custom OID (like .1.3.6.1.4.1.30891.100.103) in Windows XP system? I need few of them to write there some info and read it when needed but I have no idea how to create them in the system. You should do this by writing an extension of Windows SNMP agent. The following article shows how, http://www.codeproject.com/KB/IP/SNMP_Agent_DLL__Part1_.aspx There are a few options to register OIDs, including: Private Enterprise Numbers (which are then publicly listed ) UUID-based OIDs In both cases,
