  • Installing wireless PCI-E driver on Windows Server 2012?

    So here's the deal.

    Two PC's, one i5 system as my main PC and an AMD FX-4100 system as the server.

    Installed windows server 2012 and trying to connect the server PC to our wireless network connection.

    Installed the PCI Adapter chip and it hasn't auto detected, tried to install the drivers for the chip but of course they can't be installed on a Windows Server 2012 platform, they only work on normal operating systems.

    Any ideas as to what I can try now ?

  • PHP assistance with Key Checking system?

    Right, so here's the issue.

    I'm making a script which checks the key a user inputs into the database, and returns the value of the "active" setting in the database, this will either be "YES" or "NO" in the database.

    Here's the error.

    mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource on line 17

    This should return the value of 1: (There is supposed to be a php variable here which is not displaying for some reason)

    That key was not found in our database

    And here is the code.

  • Question about CPU cooler?

    Okay, So I overclocked my CPU (AMD FX-4100) this morning from the stock speed of 3.6GHZ to 4.2GHZ so far, all on the stock cooler, I've read online you can go up to 4.6 on the stock cooler.

    Anyway, the question is I've ordered one of these http://www.amazon.co.uk/Arctic-Cooling-Alpine-Pro-... And only just noticed it has a max cooling capacity of 90Watt.

    Now my CPU has a max 95watt TDP .. So i was wondering if this cooler is suitable and will cool the CPU effectively?

    Part of me thinks only if the CPU gets to full load the CPU cooler will be unable to keep it cool for long periods of time.

    How much of this is correct?

  • Nvidia GTX 650 TI compatible with Asrock N68 VS3 FX?

    So, will it work?

    I currently have one PCI-E port.

    My current graphics card is a GT640 2GB (Nvidia), taking up one port.

    Installed next to my graphics card is a wireless TP link card. (PCI)

    Is it possible I can install a GTX 650 TI to replace my current GT 640 without getting in the way of the TP-Link wireless card chip ?

    Also, I've heard if you buy a card with two fans, you need two fan headers, is this true?

    My current card only has one fan built into it, and so I will need to check if I have any free fan headers available.

    Thanks in advance.

  • Obtaining and display profile ID's in php?

    So I'm looking to create a link located on the homepage, the link will be, for example "www.mysite.com/profile.php?id="

    Now what I want to be able to do is that when a user logs in, they are able to click on a their profile link below, and have the "id=" taken from the database and inserted into the link so that the user can then view their profile.

    I think i'm going along the right lines with the code but I can't remember if I need to concatenate when displaying the link "www.mysite.com/profile.php?id=$id".

    I've tried concatenating but the code editor doesn't seem to recognise it.

    Wonder if I shall bump into Gitlez on this question!

    Here's the code.

  • Help with an SQL insert script ?

    So I have a script i've created, it gets first names, surnames, usernames, emails and passwords from the HTML form. However it only displays the FirstName variable when i echo each of the above variables as they're not being inserted into the database, they're not being passed from the HTML form to the PHP script either, except for the FirstName field, i've checked over and can't see why.

    The SQL insert script is also not working.

    Any ideas ?

  • Does anyone know what this is ?

    This is located near to where i live, it looks gas related as the little cabinet... i suppose that's what you'd call it, has EDF ENERGY notices on it. It's also got a small pipe next to the cabinet with a small round object on top, maybe some sort of extraction device, and then as pictured, there are two funnels, one to the left, the smaller one, and one to the right, these are hollow and the tips bend over and point to the ground, i've walked past this a few times and sometimes it makes a whirring noise, it's difficult to describe, this appliance is right next to a main road which is always busy.

    This looks like some sort of gas extraction thing, but i was wondering if anyone knew what these were, or are called ?

    Here's an image of the appliance.

  • Help me identify this song?

    Okay, I first heard this song on an Aer Lingus flight as the offloading music when we landed at Malaga airport in August 2011, I was convinced it was airline exclusive music because I couldn't find the title anywhere. I tried googling.. I can't contact Aer Lingus about it. They don't have a relevant queries email address.

    I heard this song again today when I was buying lunch at the co-op.

    The song is something like this

    "when you bring out the best in me "

    *whistling tune*

    Then something else.

    It pretty much repeats those two lines over and over.

    Please help me find this song!

    Thank you.

  • php help - in game cash?

    hey

    Im trying to make code for an online game im trying to build,

    im trying to make a php page which will subtract the cost of the factory from the users cash, this is what i have so far:

    <?php

    $factory1 = "$12,000,000";

    $factory2 = "$18,000,000";

    $factory3 = "$24,000,000";

    if ($cash|>$factory1);

    echo "You have successfully built this factory";

    else

    {

    echo "You do not have sufficient funds";

    }

    //deduct 12 million from the users cash

    //

    if ($cash|>$factory2);

    echo "You have successfully built this factory";

    else

    {

    echo "You do not have sufficient funds to complete the purchase";

    }

    //deduct 18million from users cash

    //

    ?>

    but i was wondering how to make it so that if they buy factory 1 then 12 million is deducted, and if they buy factory 2 then 18 million is deducted, also i was wondering how would i send the remaining cash after the purchase into the database?

    is it INSERT INTO * cash WHERE cash = $cash; ?? or something similar

    thanks :)
