A fresh Windows XP SP3 install does not allow remote WMI access like Windows XP SP2 does. If I follow the steps in the "How to troubleshoot WMI-related issues in Windows XP SP2" document at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/875605 I'm unable to get SP3 to respond to a remote WMI request.

From what I understand, a 32bit process can only access 2GB of memory on 32bit windows without the /3GB switch, and that some of that memory is taken up by the OS for its own diabolical reasons. This seems to mesh with my experiences as we have an app that crashes when it reaches around 1.2 - 1.5 GB of RAM with out of memory exceptions,...

I haven't done C in a long time. I'd like to compile this program, but I have no idea how to proceed. It seems like the makefile refers to GCC a lot and I've never used GCC. I just want an executable that will run on windows. ...
I'm fairly new to localized programming, and I'm trying to figure out how to set the proper initial locale for a newly-launched unmanaged C++ application (from within the app). As far as I can tell, new applications start with the C locale, rather than the proper regional locale (English, German, etc). So what I need to do is call setlo...
I have an log file that I need to extract specific patterns from. I need to find and then process them into a new file. grep on Linux would usually do the trick but the regular expression spans multiple lines, which I understand grep does not do. here is an example from my log/debug file: Da: 1.328 0.5045 Db: 0.6415 0.1192 La...

I have access to a third party library that does "good stuff." It issues status and progress messages to stdout. In a Console application I can see these messages just fine. In a Windows application they just go to the bit bucket. Is there a fairly simple way to redirect stdout and stderr to a text control or other visible place. Id...
