Personal Web Server 4.0 won't start anymore.

I installed PWS 4.0 on my Windows 95 computer. It installed and ran nicely
without any problems for several months. Then I stopped using it for a while.
Now that I need it again it won't start. The Personal Web Manager program runs
and when I click on Start to start the server running nothing happens now, not
even an error message. I see a message saying "Web Publishing is Off". This
should change to "Web Publishing is On" but it doesn't. Rebooting and turning
off Zonealarm didn't help. I'm using this to learn ASP.

Is there anything I can do to try to get it running again?

Should I uninstall it with Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel and try
reinstalling it?

I tried searching the Microsoft site, looked through the Support &
Troubleshooting area and could not find any help for this problem. I also tried
Google Groups without success.

Thank you.

A reinstall sounds like a good idea. Another good idea may be running an
operating system that isn't 8+ years old... That's just my opinion though!

My installation of PWS 4.0 won't run at all anymore. I'm going to uninstall it and reinstall it hoping it will work again. I worked great for severa months. I'm using Windows 95. To uninstall I'm guessing I can use the setup program: Start->Programs->Microsoft Personal Web Server->Personal Web Server Setup Now I see an initial screen, click next and I see a screen where I can click Remove All to remove all previously installed...

I have a need to become familiar with SQL Server 2000 for work. Needless to say I am new to SQL Server any version, but not IT in general.

In fact so many of you kind people confess to having succeeded in doing it. I have tried...

I suspect this isn't possible, but I recently moved a app to SQL Server and it contains a Project table. Now I have a new CRM tool that needs to be mobile, but should also synch with the Project table on SQL Server. I really like the idea of replicating an Access database for the mobile users and somehow synching with the SQL server for the Projects. Is that doable? -- Danny J. Lesandrini

Hi, I've got a Windows-service that runs nice and smooth on my local machine, but when installed on a server it fails to start the thread inside. I can't figure out what's wrong. The code below executes as it should on my machine: test123 is written to the eventlog, but it's not on the server where it should be installed. It has however run for a few days on the server, but just stopped one day (perhaps after a reboot?). The eventlog...

Hello, I am using Visual Basic.Net 2008 I have created about 3 forms working OK in the past, but now I doesn't work anymore. When I try to start to run/debugging the program it starts to open the form in a second and close quickly. I don't know why this is happening. I add a treeview control, but I don't think that is the problem. I just don't know what I did. Any tips will be appreciated. Thank you in advance. Cheers.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

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.
