Hi,
I try to play sound from my monitoring application, which is an xp virtual machine on VMware ESX 3, on a physical machine with a real sound card, but I can not add from the ESX console sound card.

I would like to play sound without openning RDP session, do you have a solution to add a virtual sound card and then stream it with vlc?

Does anyone know of a replacement for that dialog that adds a Compare button (preferably configurable to use the comparison tool of my choice)?

The Firefox AwesomeBar is indeed awesome. But, lately I see that it has become slow. On entering some characters it even freezes for a few seconds (freezing the entire browser).
Why does it slow down? Is there a way to speed it up?

I have an external hard disk where I have created many partitions to use also in Linux.
First two partitions are FAT32. The third is a Truecrypt partition. I cannot assign a letter to the second partition.
When I go to Manage disk and right-click on the unassigned partition, most of the options are not enabled.
What have I to do to see this partition on my XP PC?
I need to forbid all users except administrators to write into DVD/CD/USB drives on Windows XP.
Googled around and there is a way to disable devices completely:
Cdrom:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\cdrom\Start (from 1 to 4)
Usb:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\USBSTOR (from 3 to 4)
but I need to disable them only for particular users.
Is there a script or batch file to automate the log-on process from the XP Welcome screen? As all details are the same Username, Password, and Domain in a room of 30 machines.
The reason I don't use Windows AutoAdminLogon is I only want to logon temporary at different times as a user to run such things as online test for a class of high school students without the students logging on individually first, also it would be useful for admin tasks if I can change/specify the user details.
I recently duplicated my XP "C" drive, using Retrospect.
When it finished, there were 6 errors. I checked the log and the 1st error referred to

The other 5 errors referred to the Microsoft SQL Server.....\MSSQL\log_...trc: Appears incomplete.
Is this a problem that can be solved by reinstalling Microsoft Security Essentials? Or wht else? Any help appreciated, Regards,
