Pls read this Article carefully and act with additional care (at your own risk) :
WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
By default, RSL is 25 percent of the size of paged pool. Setting up the size of paged pool (see PagedPoolSize value of the Registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management) also affects the size of RSL.
You can also manually set the RSL:
1. Run the Registry Editor (REGEDT32.EXE).
2. Locate the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control.
3. Modify the value RegistrySizeLimit (create it first it if it does not already exist) to reflect the desired size, in terms of bytes.
NOTE: RegistrySizeLimit must have a type of REG_DWORD, and a data length of 4 bytes, or it is ignored. If you set the value RegistrySizeLimit to less than 4 megabytes (MB), it is forced up to 4 MB. If you set it to greater than about 80 percent of the size of paged pool, it is set down to 80 percent of the size of paged pool (it is assumed that paged pool is always more than 5 MB). If you set it to 0xffffffff the maximum size allowable (or 80 percent of paged pool, up to 102 MB) is set.
4. Shut down and restart Windows NT for changes in RSL to take effect.
Note A system restart is required after the RSL has been increased either through the graphical user interface (GUI) or the registry, because this change does not happen dynamically. If you do not restart the system, you may experience the following event:
Event Type: Error
Event Source: Userenv
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1000
Date: date
Time: time
User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM Computer: name
Description: RegLoadKey failed. Return value Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service for C:\Documents and Settings\ntuser.dat.
In Windows NT 4.0, and Windows NT 4.0, Terminal Server Edition, the maximum paged pool size is 192 MB, so RSL can be a maximum of 153.6 MB. For additional information, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: 142719 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/142719/EN-US/) NT Reports Out of Resources Error When Memory is Available
In Windows 2000, the maximum paged pool size is approximately 370-400 MB, when you do not use the /3gb command-line switch (this makes the RSL greater than 296 MB). If you use the /3gb switch, these values remain unchanged from Windows NT 4.0.
Additional Notes on RSLRSL sets a maximum, not an allocation (unlike some other such limits in the system). Setting a large RSL will NOT cause the system to use that much space unless it is actually needed by the Registry. It also does NOT guarantee that that much space will be available for use in the Registry.In Windows NT version 3.1, paged pool defaults to 32 MB, so the default RSL is 8 MB (enough to support approximately 5000 user accounts). In Windows NT 3.5, paged pool can be set to a maximum of 128 MB, so RSL can be no larger than about 102 MB (enough to support approximately 80,000 users; however, other system limitations might keep this number of users considerably lower).
RSL includes space in the hives themselves, as well as some of the Registry's runtime structures. Other runtime structures are either billed against standard quota, or are protected by size limits and serialization.
To ensure that you can always at least boot and edit the Registry if you set RSL incorrectly, quota checking is not turned on until after the first successful loading of a hive (that is, loading a user profile).
For all but a few domain controllers, RSL never needs to be changed.
The limitations imposed by RSL are approximate.

Is a soft boot more stressful on computer than a hard boot?
Soft boot is less stressfull for your computer!! (Control-ALT- Delete) Hard boot is rough for your computer!! And it takes longer:( People argue all the time about which way is better to shut off your computer so I don't know if this is the truest answer!!
What type of server serves up IP addresses on a network?
It's called a DHCP server. DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Control Protocol.
You don't need a stand-alone server to provide that function. Almost all routers (wired or wireless) will provide the function or "service", as it's called. And most operating systems will provide some level of it built in. Sometimes it's part of the "internet sharing" function.

How do you rotate words on word?
Depending on what sort of rotation you're after, you've got 2 possible options. # Write your words in a text box Select the text box Click the 'format' button, then 'text direction' (you may have to scroll down to find this option). You get the choice of rotating 90 degrees either clockwise or counterclockwise. For more fancy rotations, including having the text going down the page, or to change the shape etc of text, use WordArt - to find it you need to have the drawing toolbar visible. Click on 'view' then hover your mouse over 'toolbars' In the drop-down list that appears, check the box for 'drawing' WordArt appears on the drawing toolbar as a blue capital 'A' which is slightly tilted When you click it, a box appears with some text options Choose any one, then another box will appear for you to write your text in; click OK when you've finished Reselect the text box, & a toolbar appears; the 3rd option from the right is for vertical text. There are loads of other things you can do in WordArt, but they're a bit difficult to explain in a message. I suggest you use Office help - you may even find your way to a tutorial. Oh yeh, all of the above is using M$ Word 2003, but I'd imagine would be vaguely similar on other versions; I still miss my old M$ Publisher ('95) which allowed you to be far more creative!
How do you convert D drive from FAT32 to NTFS in Windows 98 OS?

What is system restoring point means?
System Restore's purpose is to return your system to a workable state without requiring a complete reinstallation and without compromising your data files. The utility runs in the background and automatically creates a restore point when a trigger event occurs. Trigger events include application installations, AutoUpdate installations, Microsoft Backup Utility recoveries, unsigned- driver installations, and manual creations of restore points. The utility also creates restore points once a day by default. System Restore requires 200MB of free hard disk space, which the utility uses to create a data store. If you don't have 200MB of free space, System Restore remains disabled until the space becomes available, at which point the utility enables itself. System Restore uses a first in/first out (FIFO) storage scheme: The utility purges old archives to make room for new ones when the data store reaches a set limit. The file types that System Restore monitors are many but include most of the extensions that you typically see when you install new software (e.g., .cat, .com, .dll, .exe, .inf, .ini, .msi, .ole, .sys). Note that only application installations that use a System Restore restorept.api-compliant installer will trigger the creation of a restore point. Typically, system recoveries are easiest when you know *or think you know* what caused the problem (e.g., a recently installed device driver). In some cases, System Restore might not be the best choice for correcting a problem you're experiencing. System Restore changes many different files and registry entries, and in some cases might replace too much and actually cause more problems than it solves. For example, say you install Office XP, which triggers System Restore to create a restore point, and the software suite works great. Later in the day, you download and install an updated video driver, and because the driver is signed, the installation doesn't trigger System Restore to create a restore point. Now your system hangs on occasion, and you believe that the video driver is the culprit. In this case, you should use the Device Driver Rollback utility because it will address the device-driver problem only and not change anything else on your system. System Restore would roll your computer back to a preOffice XP state, and you would have to reinstall the entire software suite after you resolved the driver problem.

Mainframe is used in business where the data to be processed is too huge and has to be processed too many times and may require too much CPU cycles where the else of the computers may flunk.
Mainframes are very similar too supercomputers ahich can process huge number of transactions in small amout of time . but the only diff between supercomputer and mainframes is supercomputers are used to calculate and process complex algorithms say which has so many integration and diffretiation and lotssa calculus steps where as mainframes are used to handle simple business related calculations like addition and subtraction kinda things .
- - - - -
First understand that any company that has a mainframe is pretty big--an insurance company, a carmaker, someone like that. They will use it for several things:
It's got the company's databases on it. One of the databases might be a list of customers: it will list the customers and usually all the things they've ordered over a certain time period. You can do this with a PC, but mainframe databases can get much larger and they've got more features.
It's set up to share resources. All the company's printers will be hooked to it. When you send a print job to it, you can tell it to print only to one printer, or to any printer that's available and capable of taking the job.
These days corporate e-mail will go into the mainframe.
And sometimes you run programs on mainframes, but that was mostly done back before PCs got so prevalent. When all you had was a "dumb terminal" like an IBM 3278, the mainframe had to store plus process your data; today a lot of processing is done out on the PC and completed data is sent back to the big iron.
-----------------------------------------------------
Simpler, a mainframe is only a way to designate the main node withing an array of computers linked by networking. In other words, he the big kahuna!, but it doesint mean he's the most powerful!.
Mainframe = Node 1 = Computer #1 = Big kahuna
