I have been doing some extensive testing of a Windows Service I have been writing in C# .Net 3.5. I am having trouble getting Windows to give me enough time for my service to shutdown properly when I restart or shutdown the computer even though I am invoking the RequestAdditionalTime() method which should update the SCM and keep my serv...

I have an existing PHP script that needs to work with data from an Access db, and the machine it's on is migrating from Win2K to Windows 7. I looked around, and Microsoft seems to say that this is still available somewhere, but I can't find any solid information about how to actually get it. ...
I have figured out how to change the desktop wallpaper (there are dozens of examples on the Internet.) One thing that still eludes me: how do I detect when the wallpaper has changed? (Say via the Display control panel or another program changing it.) ...
I have a java SWT application that works OK with Windows XP and Windows Vista. But when I run it on Windows 7, weird errors occure, and it crashes. For example, in a method where I call Table.removeAll() I get a java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 0. The table has SWT.VIRTUAL in style. Another problem is when I write something in...
Somewhat strange problem... when I start my .NET app for the first time after rebooting my machine, the SQL Server queries are really slow... when I pause the debugger, I notice that it's hanging on getting the response from the query. This only happens when connecting to a remote SQL server (2008)... if I connect to one on my local mac...

Is there a way for an app to present the user with the UAC prompt only once, upon first running. Thereafter, no further prompting. In other words, I understand that our app needs the user's UAC permission to do certain things. And that's fine. But we don't want it to have to keep asking on every occasion it runs. Can the user give permi...

Hi, Im running on a Intel computer (Win7 64-bit) and according to what I read Intel is using Little-Endian. I try this out in C# with the following code: byte[] b2 = new byte[] { 0, 1 }; short b2short = BitConverter.ToInt16(b2, 0); and b2short == 256 as expected from a Little-Endian. Then I read that in .NET, the BitConverter.IsLitt...
I've used the UrlRewriting.Net module for a couple years now without any problems in Windows XP and Windows 2003. I just recently upgraded my home PC to Windows 7 and started developing a new website. The plan was to use .html extensions and rewrite them to their .aspx counterparts using the UrlRewriting.Net module. Everything works fla...

I am using a Hauppauge HD-PVR with Windows 7 Media Center (using DVBLink to connect them). I'd like to write a small application to check if the system is currently recording and if not perform some action. Which classes do I use to get this status? I've read the docs but the solution is not immediately obvious to me. Thanks! ...
I have a Python test suite that creates and deletes many temporary files. Under Windows 7, the shutil.rmtree operations sometimes fail (<1% of the time). The failure is apparently random, not always on the same files, not always in the same way, but it's always on rmtree operations. It seems to be some kind of timing issue. It is als...
