I think you might find this an easy and virtually free way to  
accomplish printing to a remote computer. Save your documents as a  
pdf, then email it to the computer at the other location and have  
someone print it. This way would eliminate guessing if the document  
printed and you could include the distribution info so the printed  
copies get to where they are suppose to after being printed.

ok, I've never paid too much attention to this..tell me what 
it means!?!!??


It means, at least in Windows, that the operating system has
terminated function.  That is, the OS has crashed.  This can 
happen for two reasons, hardware failure (unlikely) or in most

cases, software failure, either of the OS itself (unlikely) or of
an application that has done something it shouldn't.

It usually means some sort of hardware failure. But can also be a
driver failure. Or just about anything.
Try http://aumha.org/a/stop.htm for some help with your specific
error. Good Luck.

This has not been my experience since migrating to the NT kernel. I
can't recall *ever* seeing an application cause a blue screen in
either WinXP or Win2k.

Again, from personal experience, I almost always trace Stop errors
back to hardware problems. Bad RAM, motherboard, disk drive, take your
pick. Audio and video drivers are the exceptions.

OTOH, the last time I had BSODs, they were because of a Cisco VPN service
running.  An upgrade fixed it (on XP).

Certainly bad hardware could cause BSOD, but I have had literally dozens of
hardware failures on XP laptops in the past five years and none of them
every caused BSODs.  RAM, video cards, motherboards, power systems,
keyboards, etc.

So, YMMV.

There is a setting in Outlook that will not expand the digest into
individual messages.  Unfortunately, I don't use Outlook, so have forgotten
it.  Presumably a Google search on Outlook 2002 html digest or the like will
help.

And, as Tom said, you can subscribe to a different type of digest, so
nothing can identify the individual messages in there.

[CGUYS] DVD Decoder for Windows 2000

2007-06-23 Thread Kee, Arnold
Hello all:
For those of you fully intending on NOT keeping up with the Joneses when it 
comes to Windows versions, are you using a shareware DVD decoder?  And if so, 
which one?  
Ever since I "upgraded" from 98 to 2000 (moving from the Jurassic Period to the 
Cretaceous Period I suppose), my DVD player stopped working.  The compatibility 
report said it wouldn't, but I don't see why an upgrade should cause me to have 
to now pay for something that used to work for free.
I've tried some of the sources on the list that MS provides when you search 
this question on their website, but they require more money, or don't actually 
work (AVS Player for example).

Actually, the move from Win98 (the DOS kernel) to Win2k (the NT
kernel) was a major upgrade. Well worth it. The last big upgrade in
Windows.

Have you tried the open source VLC (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/)?
