I've searched in Google, but I just want a second opinion before making a final decision and spending money on something that may not be needed.

My computer was old, so I decided it was time to upgrade the motherboard and CPU. I bought an Asus P5S800-VM motherboard, an Intel Celeron D 336 2.80GHz Socket 775 CPU, and also a 350W PSU. I have a Maxtor 10GB HDD, Quantum Fireball 20GB HDD, Lite-ON CD-RW and floppy drive came from my previous computer, and had no problems with them.

One thing I haven't mentioned yet, is the RAM. I'll get to that in a second.

Whilst installing Windows XP Professional, I had a BUGCODE_USB_DRIVER (0x000000FE) error come up, forcing me to reboot. It's only come up once, and during that time. If I'm correct, it has something to do with the CPU and HyperThreading. Also whilst installing, I got a PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA (0x00000050) error, which I again had to reboot.

Eventually it was installed, and I was in Windows. Not long after did my computer start spontaneously rebooting. At times there would be no notice whatsoever, it would just reboot. Sometimes I would get an error, PFN_LIST_CORRUPT (0x0000004E). I lost count as to how many times my computer rebooted and I got that error. Also worth mentioning, the second I get into Windows, I get an error box saying that an error has occured, do you want to send the report. Always comes up each time I get into Windows. I've also gotten IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (0x0000000A) once or twice too.

Now about the RAM. The RAM is PC2100 DDR, but it's not new. I've had it for quite a while now, waiting for the day I bought myself a motherboard that supported DDR. I was given the RAM a while back, but I didn't know if it was working or not. They are 2 sticks of 256MB, equalling 512MB. First attempt to boot up the computer was unsuccessful; POST beeps telling me that something was wrong with my RAM. One of the sticks of RAM appeared to have been burnt previously, but not by me. Something I overlooked. Now I just have the 1 stick of 256MB RAM in, and the computer is working, but not how it should.

Google pretty much says that my problems are related to the RAM being corrupt and defective. The motherboard, CPU and PSU are new, the HDD, optical drive and floppy drive are not but I know they have no problems as I've used them before with no problems. The only thing I can put it down to is the RAM, as it's the only odd thing out.

Does anyone think there could be any other reason as to why my computer keeps randomly rebooting, displaying sendable errors non-stop and showing me the PFN_LIST_CORRUPT error?

Hey everyone. Quick question.

My husband and I run a small press comic book publishing company, and we're currently redesigning our website.

Long story short, we're looking to set up a blog of some sort that i can customize the look of, that google will index and that i can turn into an .rss feed. we're willing to
pay for the service, although it has to be very reasonably priced.

I was going to work with movable type, which i know fits these criteria, but I'm thinking it's a bit over my head to install. I've installed messageboards and worked with databases before, but it's been a while, and I'm rusty.

Don't need a lot of bells and whistles, and really, the simpler the better.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

I am beginning to work on multiple sites on my home test server and need to set up virtual hosts. 

My server is running SuSE 10 with Apache 2, and is accessed by typing in "talon" in firefox's address bar.  I copied vhosts.template to site1.conf and edited it as follows:

# # VirtualHost template # Note: to use the template, rename it to /etc/apache2/vhost.d/yourvhost.conf. # Files must have the .conf suffix to be loaded. # # See /usr/share/doc/packages/apache2/README.QUICKSTART for further hints # about virtual hosts. # # Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container. # The first VirtualHost section is used for requests without a known # server name. # <VirtualHost *:80>     ServerAdmin deathrockadrya@yahoo.com     ServerName site1.talon     # DocumentRoot: The directory out of which you will serve your     # documents. By default, all requests are taken from this directory, but     # symbolic links and aliases may be used to point to other locations.     DocumentRoot /srv/www/vhosts/site1     # if not specified, the global error log is used     ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/site1     # CustomLog /var/log/apache2/site1      # don't loose time with IP address lookups     HostnameLookups Off     # needed for named virtual hosts     UseCanonicalName Off     # configures the footer on server-generated documents     ServerSignature On     # Optionally, include *.conf files from /etc/apache2/conf.d/     #     # For example, to allow execution of PHP scripts:     #     # Include /etc/apache2/conf.d/mod_php4.conf     #     # or, to include all configuration snippets added by packages:     # Include /etc/apache2/conf.d/*.conf     # ScriptAlias: This controls which directories contain server scripts.     # ScriptAliases are essentially the same as Aliases, except that     # documents in the realname directory are treated as applications and     # run by the server when requested rather than as documents sent to the client.     # The same rules about trailing "/" apply to ScriptAlias directives as to     # Alias.     #     ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/srv/www/vhosts/site1/cgi-bin/"     # "/srv/www/cgi-bin" should be changed to whatever your ScriptAliased     # CGI directory exists, if you have one, and where ScriptAlias points to.     #     <Directory "/srv/www/vhosts/site1/cgi-bin">         AllowOverride None         Options +ExecCGI -Includes         Order allow,deny         Allow from all     </Directory>     # UserDir: The name of the directory that is appended onto a user's home     # directory if a ~user request is received.     #     # To disable it, simply remove userdir from the list of modules in APACHE_MODULES     # in /etc/sysconfig/apache2.     #     <IfModule mod_userdir.c>         # Note that the name of the user directory ("public_html") cannot simply be         # changed here, since it is a compile time setting.

Next I opened /etc/hosts and edited as follows:

# # hosts        This file describes a number of hostname-to-address #              mappings for the TCP/IP subsystem.  It is mostly #              used at boot time, when no name servers are running. #              On small systems, this file can be used instead of a #              "named" name server. # Syntax: #    # IP-Address  Full-Qualified-Hostname  Short-Hostname # 127.0.0.1        localhost 127.0.0.1        site1      site1.talon 127.0.0.1        site2      site2.talon 127.0.0.1        site3      site3.talon

Then, rcrestart apache2.... ok.

And here is where I am stumped..  (and btw I googled the bit about /etc/hosts - i'm not sure if that's how it should be).    If I type in http://talon/site1 Apache says page can't be found.  If I try http://site1 page can't be found.    My site1 files exist in the DocumentRoot listed in the site1.conf file above. 

I also read through apache's documentation on virtual hosts but the way they explained it didn't make as much sense to me. 

Thanks for any and all help.. I've wanted to learn vhosts for some time now.

Hi!

I have encountered something strange here using Google and Firefox 1.5. Whenever I'm trying to search for something which contains the word "forum" I get this message:

We're sorry...

... but we can't process your request right now. A computer virus or spyware application is sending us automated requests, and it appears that your computer or network has been infected.

We'll restore your access as quickly as possible, so try again soon. In the meantime, you might want to run a virus checker or spyware remover to make sure that your computer is free of viruses and other spurious software.

We apologize for the inconvenience, and hope we'll see you again on Google.

I have tried it in IE 6 and Opera 7, but I don't get this message using them. What is this? I have scanned my system already for Spyware, but there was nothing major. But I haven't checked for Viruses yet, because it takes long. Well, AntiVir didn't notice anything as I have started (it checks the memory and current processes).

Does anyone else gets this message?

-------------
EDIT:

It seems I'm not the only one who had this problem: Thread in the german Firefox support forum. Now I have cleared the cache and history... and guess what? It works now! :D

But, still, it was somewhat confusing.

Time Warner and software giant Microsoft are understood to have held talks earlier this year on how the two firms could work more closely together.

Analysts believe Microsoft is keen to buy part of AOL and merge it with its own internet business.
Source

My position - if this happens it will mark the beginning of the end of the internet as we know it. AOL is already known for it's restrictive practises, combining this with Microsofts proprietry "standards" and monopolistic practises the net will be reduced to a microsoft only zone with linux/mac users unable to access a lot of content due to DRM restrictions. Microsoft would also use this position to force companies like google out of its way, making their sites incompatible with the AOL/Microsoft internet portal.
Discuss.

Hello, I just joined this fine community...actually it's quite an amazing coincidence that I found it right when my Apache server is having terrible problems.
I haven't had problems with it up until recently, but lately it has just been really misbehaving on me! Normally I have one of my friends help me with it but he's really busy so hopefully someone here can be of service.

Here it goes:

I got a new computer (an emachine with Windows xp Media Edition) a few months ago and ran Apache on it just perfectly. I was all set to start working on a new layout for my web page when something weird happened with Comcast: they actually kicked me offline for having a virus! I never knew comcast could do that...so I had to go to Best Buy where they swept my entire computer clean and reinstalled all the things the machine came with. Luckily I had back up files of most of my pics and such...but not of Apache of course.

So I had to re-install Apache from its website. This is around where the trouble started.
When I re-installed it, I followed the guidelines that my friend (who has always helped in the past) had written down for me in previous emails. I had saved the emails so that I could refer to them later in case of such things.
I installed Apache 2.0.55, or as the actual file is read: apache_2.0.55-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi to my desktop and then ran the file.
I typed in my information correctly (I even double and triple checked that!), and then continued to install...and Apache ran perfectly fine.

Then, of course, I had to go to the C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\conf file and modify the httpd.conf file. I copy and pasted what was in an email I received from my friend, which has always been correct in the past and which, previously, I have had NO problem with AT ALL.

However, when I restarted Apache, I got the following message: "The requested operation has failed!"
It hasn't started since then. *cries*

I have tried to do the following to remedy (and possibly understand) what is going on:

1. I tested the Apache Server Configuration
when I did this, it said that there was an error on line 15 of the httpd.conf file. I checked line 15 and didn't see anything out of order, but I was also unsure of what I was looking for, so that didn't much help.

2. I checked the Error Log File
when I did this, this message (among message that were not errors or problems) came up:
[Mon Dec 12 17:29:28 2005] [warn] (OS 995)The I/O operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an application request. : winnt_accept: Asynchronous AcceptEx failed.

What exactly does this mean? I had no clue...

3. I searched for the words "Asynchronous AcceptEx" on google and came up with a few sites that I thought might explain what was going on, but mostly they were just a bunch of people talking about similar problems, rather than a solution to the problem.


Sooo...I still remain lost and need help!
If anyone knows anything about this or has suggestions please let me know. This has been going on for about a month now and I am not a person with money (being a college kid and all), so I can't just have my domain name sit here being unused.
:(

Thanks to anyone who can help me!

Hello,

I have googled to no avail...

Running XP pro on a workgroup.

I have my room mate on a limited user account and I want her to be able to plug in and access her thumb drive, but on a limited user of course no plug and play.

I can not figure out how to modify either her or the limited user rights to allow plug and play.

If this can be done through a domain/AD I do have enough spare parts to put together a box, run XP or 2003 (if can find my disk) and dcpromo it and configure my network to a domain.

Again, if you could point me in the right direction in that set up it would be appreciated. I have played around with AD a bit in 2k, and that was years ago.

Ok, I got the virtual hosts working. Now I'm wanting to set up a secure server. I've tried google and the apache website, and it's all seeming rather confusing and beyond what I need. I'm not worried about things like man in the middle attacks or anything like that, so certificates arn't needed. All I want to do is make a site encrypted, basicly https.

How do I go about doing this?
