One of our applications is exhibiting poor network behavior on Vista due to the new network stack's auto-tuning functionality. I'm working on tracking down why the problem's happening, but in the meantime, it'd be wonderful if we could simply disable auto-tuning on our application for the time being. Is there any way to do so programma...

In addition to the excel appl...

Okay, so this isn't strictly a programming question, but it is a programming-related question. I have a C# winforms project that I am trying to add a reference to the System.Messaging dll.

So, is there any way to screen capture a window which is obscured or partly off screen by directly reading these buffers? Vista does it when you alt-tab or hover the mouse over the taskbar. I'm doing this in D...
