I'd like Apache to terminate my perl script after 1 minute if it doesn't complete naturally. Is there a setting in Apache (or other server software) to do this?
What would be a good solution for hooking up the satelite tv box (dish network) in my room to be abl;e to watch it on my PC and possibly record video from it?
Please share with me the best cards, cables, software, anything else needed to do this in the most efficient way?
The old advice to set the REG_DWORD value named RPEnabled (some sources claim it's RPEnable) under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer to 0 doesn't work anymore since the Consumer Preview (i.e. now also for the Release Preview). Yes, I tried both RPEnabled and RPEnable.
How can I log into the system and be presented the desktop instead of the metro start screen? I got rid of the lock screen already, so this is the missing piece in the puzzle of making Windows 8 Release Preview usable.
A friend of mine says that a site I frequent was reported by his antivirus software to be infected with a trojan. I can't confirm this because I'm on a Mac, and he's running PC so nothing happens on my end.
I'm wondering if there's a web site that I could use to check the site for infection or malicious script.
Hello,
I have excel files with the following header:
Caption
Sound: Location of sound file
Image: Location of image file
How can I make a slideshow from this? Each slide should show image, caption, and play sound automatically according to the excel list. I don't care what software I use, if I can get the job done.
Total slides ~10,000.
In case interested,this is review material for English second language students.
Any help appreciated,
Thanks
Can anybody suggest me any good and preferably free software - working on Vista / 7 - for recovering content from DVD disks?
A few DVD-R VOB files cannot be read from disk by Windows. Probably the camera failed to burn it correctly.
What I want to achieve is to skip a few invalid frames in VOB files and recreate proper MPEG stream - without re-encoding whole stream and loosing the quality.
I'm doing a fresh install of Windows 7 and I have an on board software RAID. I "need" to install the drivers via the infamous F6 process. Technically, it should be possible to do so after the OS has been booted, but long story short, this isn't going to work well for me.
Is it possible to install F6 drivers during the installation using a USB, or must that always be done using floppies? What are my alternatives?
I want an easier way to change my default sound device from my sound card to my usb headset.
Currently it takes a very precise right click, a left click, another right click, and two more left clicks.
Ideally i could just have it swap with a shortcut key. (it was a little easier in XP but not by much.)
A software solution is preferred, but I am open to suggestions that use hardware.
I am running Windows 7 currently.
I have a VPN connection set up using the Cisco VPN Client, and whenever I connect to it I lose my internet connection. This is the first time I have used this software, all previous VPNs I have used have been setup through Windows and I can uncheck the 'use remote gateway' box in the TCP-IP properties box to get around this.
Is there a similar option in the Cisco Client that I am missing? I am running on Windows 7 32 bit
I'm not looking for a software or site to download youtube but for an opensource script in bash or any which is up todate as youtube often changes the download url.
I've found this but seems deprecated:

I want to use the internet connection of the servers at my university. I have a remote desktop account, and I have tried setting up VPN, but all VPN or proxy server software I could think of was blocked.
Windows' built in VPN is blocked too. When I go to "Change Adapter Settings" and click on "File-New Incoming Connection", it says "Access denied."
What would your suggestion be to use the internet connection of the remote desktop?
If someone knows a software with these features:
Works from the tray area
Very lightweight
Works also in Windows XP (preferably workstation, nothing serverish required)
Can show a bandwidth usage graph, where I can easily see each PC's usage
I can inspect a computer's connections, find out the ports and applications that are using them (eg, all bandwidth is consumed by PC #3, that's running uTorrent.exe from port 33003)
...I'd happily check it out. I'm only sharing my connection with (at most) 4 computers, I'd prefer not having to add hardware or reinstall my system. Thanks in advance!
I connect to many different computers via VNC and RDP. I'm looking for a windows client that can preferably do the following, though I'd accept software options that only meet some of the points:
Save profiles (hostname, username, password, settings, etc.)
Connect to VNC Servers
Connect to RDP Servers
Connect to SSH Servers (or ssh tunneling)
Scan network for devices not in saved profiles
Free (as in beer)
Tools that do similar things, but not on windows:
ARD on OSX
iSSH on iPad
Desktop Connect on iPad
When I type in the standard web address for my site, I get a 403 error. However, when I type in a more exact address, say pointing to an index.php file, everything shows up fine.
I'm using Anodyne Productions' Nova (SMS 3) which uses codeignitor. All accompanying software (PHP/MySQL) is compatible.
I'm not a very technical person, so I'm hoping that this is an easy fix.
Thanks for taking the time to answer.
I'm working on a new/fresh Windows 7 32bit machine that now has IE9 installed. The user is using the Dell Stardock application as his primary "desktop" (all his links there). When we place an internet link there and click on it we get the following error message:
There was a problem sending the command to the program.
To me this indicates that IE9 is having trouble going to the website we want to go to, which should get passed as a parameter to the browser when it opens.
I don't think this is a StarDock/ObjectDock problem because we also have some other problems with internet links. For example, we cannot move an internet link from the Desktop to the Quick Launch on the task bar. When we do try, it forces us to put the link with the IE icon as part of the IE menu instead of allowing us to have a shortcut there as it's own entry. I should mention however, that links on the desktop and in the taskbar do work as we expect them too (without showing the above error message).
It appears that this problem started after installing Windows Updates. Since we installed a whole bunch of updates at once I have no idea which one caused the problem.
I did have Google Chrome installed but I uninstalled it since the user wants to use IE. The problem started before I uninstalled Chrome. I also reset the browser settings on IE9. It didn't help.
Next I uninstalled IE9 which took me back to IE8. This actually did resolve the problem but the problem came back as soon as I installed IE9 again.
We have Verizon Internet Security installed. It's actually a McAfee product rebranded to look like Verizon. I'm not real crazy over this software but the customer has a subscription so we're not planning to change it. I have no reason to believe that this is causing the problem and yet I know that security software is often to blame for strange issues.
I've looked at the registry settings for the following keys and everything appears to be ok for every single one of them:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.htm
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.html
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\shell\open\command
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\shell\open\ddeexec\Application
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\https\shell\open\command
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\https\shell\open\ddeexec\Application
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\htmlfile\shell\open\command
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Microsoft.Website\Shell\Open\Command
Edit1:
I've found two potential solutions but I won't be able to try them until tomorrow. One is to disable the "Windows Font Cache" service. Another is to clear IE cache and browsing history. I won't be able to try out either solution until tomorrow since this is a remote client's machine. I see there are lots of other suggestions online but if you take the time to read them through you'll see that the other suggestions didn't fix the problem.
The drive is a Samsung Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ 1TB.
There are no SMART errors and the drive sounds healthy.
Restarted the computer from the drive working fine and then noticed that the drive had the same drive letter but has RAW as the file system.
I have a few file/partition recovery software titles available but since doing any scans on this drive takes about 2.5 hours I wanted to know if any one had any advice.

I have two PCs (different specs) with the latest Windows Vista and Safari 4 updates installed. In one machine, Safari 4 works great but in the other, it starts up slowly (less than a minute though) with harddisk sound indicating data access activities.
I have cleared all internet caches and I am quite sure that there is no virus in both machines. Are there any other reasons that Safari performances are so different in comparably similar software and hardware environments?
Is it possible to install a main server and install some sort of virtualization technology, pay one price for software such as Photoshop and let everyone user it?
Please explain to me why or why not
If yes, please tell me what technologies are capable of doing that, and one would save costs by doing that.
How will the performance be?
I noticed this guy has done that

I was wondering if this is a good idea at all or not?
I'm currently installing Windows 7 onto a new laptop before imaging it to deploy. I need to install the Wireless and Graphics drivers, but the HP site is offering me both ATI and Intel graphics drivers (at 102MB and 470(!)MB) a pop, as well as Intel, Broadcomm, RealTek and Atheros wireless drivers.
Is there a bit of software that will tell me what devices are in the machine so I don't have to go through, trial-and-error and find which is the right driver for the hardware?

Hi,
We recently switched from other bug tracking software to Jira (3.13 currently ).
We need to set issue linking in a manner that my task start time depends on other colleague's issue and I can not start until he resolves his issue...
I goolged and found that this kind of thing is integrated in newer versions :/ Maybe we need some plugin, make some custom field, enable something in administration part...
Any help would be appreciated...
(please retag/add jira and bug-tracking tags or whatever)
I have a plasma TV with USB input (can play divx and etc) but what I would like to do is use a software to turn a folder in my notebook HD (windows 7) into a USB Mass Storage device, so that I can connect the TV to the PC using a USB cable so that the TV recognize the PC folder as a flash drive / usb mass storage.
is seems MAC has something like what I need:

So there must be a similar to windows!
