(I've checked here already for similiar questions, and haven't found one that's exactly the same - hence I'm posting a new question) I'm currently running an ASP.NET application on IIS 7.5 on Windows 7. When I access this application on Internet Explorer (either 6, 7 or 8) it is incredible slow and often fails to load at all. There are ...

Our Win32 applications need to write in their installation directory. So under Windows 7 and Server 2008, this requires administrator rights. Currently we manually check the "run as administrator" option in the properties/compatibility tab of the EXE file. Is there a way to do this automatically during the installation of the MSI? ...

I've recently installed Windows 7. After opening my old C# project in visual studio I noticed that my buttons are too small (button text doesn't fit). Why did Microsoft increase the standard font size (well, font size is still set to 8, but it's somehow bigger now)? Can I fix it somehow, without correcting all my buttons etc. manually? ...
I am not sure if this belongs to Stackoverflow or Superuser but I thought I would ask here. I have a console based application written in C which currently takes about an hour to terminate in Windows 7 64-bit OS. The task manager reports that the application is using only 25% of the available CPU. I would like to reduce the run time by ...

I'm trying to build a pipeline with gst-launch in Windows 7 that will view a stream from a VC500 Video Capture device (Captures composite video and inputs to computer via USB). I think my biggest issue here is the fact that it MUST be done in Windows. I'm finding a lot of the plugins for gstreamer-java are supported in Linux instead of W...
We need to support a legacy app that provides a Unix and a Win32 port. Unfortunately, later in the game, a lot of glue code was written in ksh scripts for the unix port only, and the Win32 port has lost parity. I've been trying to revive it, and I've been trying some ksh-for-windows solutions (a native build of Zsh used to work in the ...

So here's the scoop: I wrote a tiny C# app a while back that displays the hostname, ip address, imaged date, thaw status (we use DeepFreeze), current domain, and the current date/time, to display on the welcome screen of our Windows 7 lab machines. This was to replace our previous information block, which was set statically at startup ...

This is my first time fiddling with the windows world in over a decade, so this may be a simple fix. But I'm completely stuck. Say you have a source directory, mkdir helloworld && touch helloworld/helloworld.{h.cpp} helloworld.cpp: #include "helloworld.h" using namespace std; int main() { cout << "Hello, World!" << endl; r...
Hello again my fellow StackOverflow friends! What I would very much like to do is copy the contents of my Windows 7, Windows XP (Pro and Home SP3), Windows Vista, and assuming I have space left for it my most updated copy of 98 SE installation CDs onto a flash drive so that I can use that for any OS installs that I need to perform. Obv...
