Opinions on GRC.com's view on XP's raw sockets?

Down8
I was wondering if any one had an opinion on Steve Gibson's idea that WinXP is gonna bring down the 'Net? I had read this guy's rant before, and thought him a complete crack-pot. But, as I was applying for a job at a friend's firm, he suggested GRC.

EZ CD Creator 5 Deluxe

SneakX
I everybody, that's my first post on this board, and I hope that's not the last. I installed WinXP 2502 some days ago, and I have an issue I didnt encoutered with WinXP 2486. When I tried to install EZ CD Creator 5 under 2502, the Installed said my Windows version wasnt compatible with EZ CD5.

Jedi Knight/Mysteries of the Sith problems

GTwannabe
I can't get either of them to run. The Lucas Arts console starts up, but when you click the Run button, it says I need to install DirectX 5. 0. It gives me two options: install and cancel. Install gives me a can't find the CD error, and cancel just exits back to the Lucas Arts menu.

Brian Frank
I'm wondering about the A+ Certification as to how helpful it really is. So far, I've only talked to one computer tech, and he basically said that the course goes over older technologylike 486 stuffand is more for show than anything else.

Hi! Actually I have 2 questions. One is that my opengl game does not work in HL. I have installed RC1 2505 ok, with the default drivers. But HL complains that my video card does not support opengl. I have a Geforce 1 DDR (Annihilator pro).

Asus Live on XP

ghostsa
I couldn't get Asus Live from 4. 4 to 4. 6 to work on Windows XP. I use Asus V3400, it simply shows a blue screen and restarts. . Could someone tell if an actual version of Asus Live can work in XP? If you have a diferent program that can do the same as Asus Live and it works on XP, you're welcome too.

12.41 Detonators released (officially)

Xiven
12. 41 has been released officially now (). The official download is byte-for-byte identical to the one leaked a few days ago, so don't bother re-downloading it. Unfortunately the drivers still have the annoying refresh rate problem with some monitors: Quote:.

Can you detect what is opening a port up?

ryoko
I always have 3 particular ports opened and listening after I boot my pc up(I verified it through netstat and also a shareware program). Is there a program that will detect what program is listening on those ports? This is using win9x, however I'd also like to know with nt and win2k.

XP and PhotoSmart P1xxx series printers

rbduck
I've already done it, but it might help if anyone that has xp and a PhotoSmart P1xxx series printer, send HP some email asking for the drivers. They might speed up the process a bit and release drivers sooner than 1 month after Official AP Release.
