if the software was bought (thus not written by you) there is no way to know. usually the other files provided are text files for start up and small things like that. by software i assume you mean the bulk of it which is the .exe file, the executable file. this has been converted from the original language (C++, Java, ect.) into what is known as machine code (1's and 0's) for this is the only language for computers. the other languages are for us humans to understand not the computer. a compiler will take your programming language and turn it into a machine language code to be run on the computer. usually software, especially expensive ones, do not come with source files showing you the original code or else you would be able to copy it, modify it, etc... so if you try and open up a .exe file into a word document you will see a whole lot of unreadable garbage... but very readable to a microchip just waiting for its next instruction.... \nelectrical engineer,\nRuben

They are three image files. Windows does not recognize them by itself. Just downlaod alcohol 120% software. After installing alcohol, run the application and click on image finder link on left hand side which will open a new window and seach for the desired location in ur hard drive where they files are.It will list all of them. Now select all of them and right click and go for "add these files to alcohol" and just close this window. Now u  r back to alcohol window. Now create one virtual drive using alcohol and right click on those image files  and go for "mount them" option and it will mount it on one of virtual drive. Now just install the game as if u have CD in that virtual drive.  when asked for next cd, just unmount the current image and mount the next one.

First, lets explain what Kernel is...\nKernel is the core piece of most OS (Operating Syste). Its a software that is responsible for connecting / enabling communication between both hardware and software.\n\nSome OS's have a Kernel, while others don't.\n\nIn most OS's, the Kernel starts with the start of the boot loader.\n\nRegarding Windows, and whether it has a Kernel or not, there are several Kernel files in the System32 directory. Here is a small list:\nkernel32.dll\nkrnl386.exe\nntkrnlpa.exe\nntoskrnl.exe\n\nThis is the Microsoft search result for Kernel:\nhttp://search.microsoft.com/results.aspx?mkt=en-US&setlang=en-US&q=Kernel\n\nKernel Enhancements for Windows XP:\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/whdc/driver/kernel/xp_kernel.mspx\n\n###### EDIT ########\n---Quote---by bryrose.geo---\nDelete Kernel32.dll from your windows/system32 directory and let me know how that works out for you.\n---End of Quote---\n\nIf you attempt to delete the Kernel32.dll in Windows 98, when Windows starts, it will state that it cannot run due to the following missing files. This is normally in GUI (Graphical User Interface) screen.\n\nIn Windows 2000 / XP / 2003, I haven't tried this specific file, but normally, when the 'ntoskrnl.exe' goes missing or is corrupt, Windows doesn't load and you are in a DOS Mode screen indicatingthat the file is missing and that Windows cannot load.\n\nYou normally had to boot from the Windows CD, choose repair, and place the file in directory again. This is normally a DOS command screen. To restore the file, you had to type in the following command:\ncopy d:&#92; i386&#92; ntoskrnl.ex_ c:&#92; windows&#92; sysytem32&#92; ntoskrnl.exe\n\nthere should be no spaces after the back-slash[&#92;]...I placed a space to prevent Yahoo! Answers from replacing some text with the dots [...]\nd: is your install source [the CD]\nWhat this command does is that it opens the i386 directory on the CD and copies the ntoskrnl.ex_ to the Windows System32 directory and renames it from ntoskrnl.ex_ to ntoskrnl.exe\n\n### END OF EDIT ###

Never ever mess with the registry unless you know what you are doing! Its basically a place that Windows uses to store hardware and software configuration information, user preferences and setup information... and it is a mess. One of the reasons why I stick to Linux :)\n\nIf you really want to do some registry clean up, get CCleaner which is very useful. \n\nAnd always make a backup by going to File > Export and saving the current state of the registry. This can be imported at a later stage if something goes wrong

best thing to do is get a full .iso of cd then mount that thru alcohol 120 then play\ntry mounting the main .exe file with the w3 icon

Autorun.inf is the primary instruction file associated with the Autorun function. Autorun.inf itself is a simple text-based configuration file that tells the operating system which executable to start, which icon to use, and which additional menu commands to make available. In other words, autorun.inf tells Windows how to deal open the presentation and treat the contents of the CD.\n\nThe entire sequence is initiated when the "disk change notifcation" polling discovers a new disk in the CD or DVD ROM drive. Then, if the "Auto insert notification" feature is enabled (it is by default), Windows checks in the new disk's root directory for the existence of an "autorun.inf" file. If found, Windows then reads and follows the specific instructions this file defines. If no autorun.inf file is found, then Windows refers to the new disk by its serial number and executes the default actions associated with the (data or audio) content on the disk.\n\nThe Autorun.inf file defines the following:\nAutorun.inf Defines the following: The process or application that will automatically run when a disk is inserted\nAutomatically run when CD is inserted Optionally, one can define the process or application that will run for specific Operating environments.\nIcon Representing CD or DVD The icon that will represent your application's CD or DVD when the drive is viewed with My Computer or Explorer.\nMenu Commands when CD-ROM is clicked Menu commands displayed when the user right-clicks the CD-ROM icon from My Computer or Explorer.\n\n\nA simple Autorun.inf example:\n[autorun]\n  open=autorun.exe\n  icon=autorun.ico\n   \nA complex Autorun.inf example:\nThis example is used in the following section for complete definition and descriptions.\n  [autorun]\n  open=filename.exe /argument1\n  icon=&#92;foldername&#92;filename.dll,5\n  [autorun.mips]\n  open=filenam2.exe\n  icon=filename.ico\n  [autorun.alpha]\n  open=filenam3.exe\n  icon=filename.ico\n  [autorun.ppc]\n  open=filenam4.exe\n  icon=filename.ico\n  shell&#92;install = &Install\n  shell&#92;install&#92;command = setup.exe\n  shell&#92;uninstall = &UnInstall\n  shell&#92;uninstall&#92;command = Uninstall.exe\n  shell&#92;readme = &Read Me\n  shell&#92;readme&#92;command = notepad readme.txt\n  shell&#92;help = &Help\n  shell&#92;help&#92;command = helpfilename.hlp\n\n\nhttp://www.duckware.com/winopen/index.html\nhttp://autorun.moonvalley.com/autoruninf.htm

Hi!\n\nFirst, be ready to back up your registry...\nNow: Start>Run>regedit\nGo to File>Export type a name for the registry file, like : original, etc, etc etc and make sure that ALL is selected, not the Selected Branch...\nThen, go to Edit>Find\nIn the dialog box, type umaxpcls.sys \nThe string umaxpcls.sys will, eventually, be found.\nNow, replace the key (the value) with ab306p.sys.\nSave your registry, if asked.\nMake sure both files have the same path, so, copy ab306p.sys near umaxpcls.sys  (in the same folder). You can find it by pressing F3 (or Find File) in Explorer.\n\nGood luck!

Yes, it's called a text editor.\n\nGet the kernel source code and open any of the files with any text editor. The source code is shipped with your distribution.

People have mentioned to install Linux.\n\nBut the thing is that when you install programs it might not be so FisherPrice if you know what I mean.\n\nIt is quite hard, and Linux isn't just Linux.\nThere are soo many different types,\nFedora Core, Ubunta, Debian, Mandrake, SUSE,Red Hat(which is gone[and No USB support]), and Knoppix and the list goes on.\n\nIt depends really on what you want to do with your computer, is which Linux distribution you would want to install is Debian because it known for it's ease in installing other 3rd party programs to do your odds and ends i.e. converting mp3s blah blah blah. \n\nIf you want to still use your windows products there is a program for linux called Wine which means Windows Emulator, emulates alot of programs nicely. \n\nBest of all Linux's are free, except for Enterprise editions which you have to pay monthly.

It is not a program, but a dll that uses rundll32.exe\nThe dll name is C:&#92;WINDOWS&#92;System32&#92;shimgvw.dll\nWhen you click on a picture in explorer, rundll32.exe is the process running.

A Dll file is a Dynamic Link library File. A DLL (Dynamic Link Library) is a small application (or sometimes a group of them) that's called on by a larger application to provide a service or set of instructions. DLLs may reside within the Windows operating system itself or within Windows applications. The DLL is designed to save space by placing commonly used routines in a DLL file, rather than placing copies of all of the routines in each individual program. If your Windows applications and/or programs are missing the correct DLL files, you've probably been faced with either a reinstallation of your software or a non-working application.\n\nDLL errors can occur for many reasons. The most common is that while deleting an unused program from your system, you may delete a 'shared' DLL file used by another program installed on your system. Once this program is called upon by Windows, it will get stuck when it cannot find the DLL file necessary to use the program, resulting in an error message

Linux does all the things you listed.  I know Windows inside and out, I can tell you how to edit the registry and system settings to get maximum performance and speed out of Windows without sacrificing any services.  On Linux, let's face it, I don't want to use a command line to debug drivers, forget it!  One reason I don't like Linux is because the drivers are a pain to install and not all of my hardware is supported (but it is under Windows XP).  Also, Linux is really bad for gamers (like me) as there aren't games on Linux, at least none that I would play.  Low Cost... hmmm, okay, I paid $15 for Windows XP Pro under the old student discount program at my college.  I am also using free anti-virus and antispyware applications.  I'm sticking with Windows, Linux is too much of a pain but great for most home users and for those who don't want to worry about spyware and viruses.  I am not a home user... I am a Windows XP power user.  Windows XP is just as safe as Linux if Home users would take more responsibility for their own security and you'd make my job a lot easier.  I don't enjoy removing hundreds of spyware and viruses from PCs when common sense security practices could fix it.  And unless you really need your data... I'm going to format the drive in those cases.

you can use Siw, it's a system information tool, and free\n\nhttp://www.snapfiles.com/reviews/SIW/siw.html
