hello all at accessindia due to exams, assignments, busy college life, i'm not able to post very much to the list, but this time, i have to ask few questions and hoping to get some suggestions too.
few days ago, my PCI.sys file got corrupt and i had to wate til some sited person arive so that i can fix it with bootable disk of windows. ( how depended is that? ) anyways, so the point of story is, unlike linux/unix, windows doesn't have any screenreader which can read console messages and tell user about status of the boot process. however, if we can code in c / cpp, this can be achieved. the application will have to directly interpret with the bios, so i understand its not easy task, but, if we write code and put it on a bootable disk, and then let windows load, i guess, we can read out the boot progress. due to its high complexity, i'll be very glad if some institution like NAB delhi or karishma enterprise can throw some more light on this subject. i'm also open to any discussion for the same off-list if its about the programming concepts and ideas. also, with free speech synths like ESpeak, we have a very good chance of getting it as freeware. so, lets see where and how far we can progress in this field. also, as far as i remember, there use to be a shortcut to turn off the display of the laptop and still continuing to work on the process, the shortcut was something with function key i remember. oh, and btw, i'm using compaq laptop. if we can turn off the display screen, i suppose, we can increase the battery life by up to 25%. i think, that's all for now. regards, ruchir. -- As long as forever, I will stay by your side, I'll be your companion, Your friend and your guide!!! www.ruchir89.wordpress.com To unsubscribe send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the subject unsubscribe.
