FAT32 with NT4, a theory

pmistry
I was wondering since Windows 2000 can use FAT32, I was wondering if during the WINNT4 setup, if you pressed F6 and loaded the Win2k FAT32 file system driver, that NT4 would use it and have it work with NT4, you would probably need to write an oemsetup.

"A system call that should never fail has failed."

test_client
Has anybody seen this error before? What does it mean? One of our web scripts bails out on Winsock initialization. WSAStartup generates an error 10107. Here is what Microsoft tells you about the error: // // MessageId: WSASYSCALLFAILURE // // MessageText: // // A system call that should never fail has failed 8).

XP Firewall for Dummies?

NaughtyNu
I'm a child of Zone Alarm simply because it just asks if you want program so&so. exe to use the Internet or not. Everything else is taken care of. I tried playing with the built in firewall with my first build and it was clear that I was missing a few steps.

What a big interface you've got!

shinglung
Hi Is it me or is XP's GUI BIG! Does anyone know if you can change the size of the title bar and start bar? I know the GUI can be smaller because in combustion* if you undock the timeline it uses a small version of the luna GUI (unlike Photoshop)(Is the size programmed in?).
