Changing security fixes hang problem temporarily

I created a DLL in VB6 that handles all the database access for some ASP
pages that I created. The application basically authenticates the user
against the database, does a search, reads a graphic file from the database,
writes it to a folder on the server, then displays it in a browser. All was
working great on my laptop with XP Pro. I now installed it on a 2003 server
with IIS. I am now getting intermittant problems.

Somtimes I get an internal error 500, but most times the page just hangs and
never comes back. If I change the permissions on the folder where the
graphics file gets written to give 'Everyone' full access, everything works
great. Once I reboot the server, it stops working again. If I then remove the
'Everyone' permission from the folder, it works again. Upon reboot, it
doesn't work again.

It appears that anytime I change the permissions, it starts to work, but it
doesn't matter what I change. Either adding the 'Everyone' group or removing
it makes it start to work.

Any idea wat else to try?

Hello, I've been reading up on security in Java Applets and whilst I understand the concept, I can't successfully get my applet to read a file on my local machine.

The access control list for reading is null by default, in the JDK. You can allow applets to read directories or files...

After applying security patch MS03-031 (Sql server ver 8.00.818) a query that used to execute in under 2 seconds, now takes over 8 Minutes to complete. Any ideas on what the heck might be going on?

Hi everyone! I need to write a simple application that will change folder attributes for a user that doesn't have administrative privileges. (Example : I'll login as administrator, run an application and will give a permission to all users to write to program files) Is anyone know which classes/namespaces to change a folder/file permissions should I use? Thanks a lot

I have a form that contains two hidden values, among other controls. I was wondering, if I change these values in server script and immediately do a server.transfer, do these values get updated before the page is changed? I want to say that because the values are changed but the page is never reloaded after the change, that these changes do not take effect before the server.transfer. Please let me know if I am correct here. I think I am...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
