Q1.Friend of mine is having computer problems when a game hangs.
SIMS superstar - i assume installation was okay...i installed it
mega plenty of RAM
have downloaded latest video drive
tower is a HP Pavilion 521 a, purchased early last year
game hangs, like it doesnt have enough working memory, but i know it
does
to try and fix this i have recently reformatted the hard drive and set
it back to the original settings, downloaded all windows updates and as i
said the latest video driver.
all should work well, i dont know what is going on and it is really pissing me off cause i dont want her to use my pc anymore....lol

Q2. in win98 what do I type in the run box for a dos prompt. I thought it was cmd.exe but obviously not.

Q3. why cant I set the path so that I can use java compiler from dos prompt. 😠
I program with textpad and compile by CTRL + 1 but now I need to compile packages but it cant do it (aparently).

PATH=%PATH%; C:\PROGRA~1\SSHCOM~1\SSHSEC~1;
SET PATH=C:\WINDOWS; C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND; C:\j2sdk1.4.0_02\bin; C:\Perl\bin; %PATH%;
SET JAVA_HOME=C:\j2sdk1.4.0_02
SET CATALINA_HOME=C:\tomcat
My autoexec file as it is at the moment. Is there a mistake in line 2?
(need to disable smileys and BBCode for anything like this to look right on screen)

now I AM curious.... what course are you doing at uni??
eeeeeeeerrrm.
are you asking cos you are about to hang shit on me?
computer science.

Amazer,
I haven't got Win '98 running here, so I can't test this, but are you sure that it's happy with periods in path names?
You might want to try renaming
C:\j2sdk1.4.0_02
to
C:\j2sdk1_4_0_02
, making appropriate matching change in the autoexec.bat file and rebooting...
Good luck

Re: Question 1, which video drivers are you using - being a HP computer you prob have either integrated video - or a 'not so up-to-date' video card, either way be careful about which drivers you use - don't use the latest nvidia drivers, as they do /can cause the sytem and games to crash, depending on the card Geforce2 don't need anything higher than version24 for Geforce 3/4 use the latest drivers.
Plus if it's Win98, you may have installed the latest DirectX drivers, which cause big f/ups with the system ... meh, that's Win98 for you - I am not familiar with the game.
In regards to Q2 - You idiot 😉
Q3. Try
set path=%path%;c:windowssystem32;c:j2sdk1.4.0bin
set classpath=%classpath%;.
- As the executable is in the bin folder ... duh, or if it still doesn't work - you will have to always set the path, just before you compile it.
Hope it all works

Don't path names in a path statement (which is very much DOS rather than Windows) have to comply with the DOS 8.3 naming limits?
If so your 13 character j2sdk1.4.0_02 is just too long.

modulus.com.auSorry that was meant to be:
set path=%path%;c:\windows\system32;c:\j2sdk1.4.0\bin
¯`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸¸.-> Keepin' it Real !!
q1. try the maxis web site for patchs or the hp web site
q2 command
q3 dos is 8.3 format 😀 full stops , etc [ /.#:;] are not valid in file/directory naming.😀
ok at the risk of every one pointing and laughing at me ....but the game may be at fault ,is it compatable with your windows ,does it need patches to fix faults in the game . check their web page . have you tried turning the qualty of the game back a bit .... i`ll run before you all get to loud ...:P
All this computer stuff and language Man i am glad i run Apple Mac's I don't have to do any of this. I have never even used a PC . or windows
Keeping it real !
OK another one. friggin dos :cussing prompt :cussing windows :cussing
How do I get my compiler errors to be written to a file instead of to screen because stupid dos window cant scroll up.
I can do this in unix but doesnt work here.

at the dos prompt type your usual plus a redirect for std out, using the > character, e.g.
java mysource.java >out.txt

modulus.com.au😠 found this
If you are running MS Windows 95, MS Windows 98, or MS Windows ME, the trouble that you encounter when you have more than a page full of errors is that the error messages from javac are not sent to standard output stdout but are sent to standard error stderr instead. Unfortunately, this will not work with MS Windows 95, MS Windows 98, or MS Windows ME because there is no support for redirecting output from standard error on those operating systems.

Will just have to go to the old method of being quick with the print screen key.
Stupid friggin MS windows pile of junk.
Chris.... kombi pilot, oval dreamer... finisher #26971 2005 city to surf
Eerk.
I can't think of another way of doing this if the compiler doesn't have some command line switch.
