Automatic Update of XP SP3 Takes over 30 hours?

Automatic Update has started installing XP SP3 on my Dell P4-2800 running XP
Home. It has been at the same point "Finishing Installation" with details of
"Running Processes after install" for over 30 hours. Is that normal? Should
I worry, yet?

Thanks!

You should find a NG/forum with the words Windows and XP in the name. This
is a .Net programmer's NG/forum.

Hi, I am updating system time with IRIG time source which sends irregular pulses as shown below 11000011111100111111111111111111....(1-IRIG present and 0-IRIG not present) I need to update system time when I find a steady pulse or a series of 1's say for a span of 10-15 seconds. Is there a way to implement this in VB6? Thanks in advance. Valiz.

Hi There, I have an update statement to update a field of a table (~15,000,000 records). It took me around 3 hours to finish 2 weeks ago. After that no one touched the server and no configuration changed. Until yesterday, I re-ran it again and it took me more than 18hrs and still not yet finished!!! What's wrong with it? I can ran it successfully before. I have tried two times but the result was still the same.

Hi, I'm creating a form based on a table. This table has fields including UniqueID (auto numbered and different for each entry), Track (3 different types), ClassYear (4 different years), and ModuleID. Now this form takes in info from some fields (eg. track, gradyear), and automatically updates others (i.e. ID and ModuleID). But I need to find a way to update the ModuleID a certain way. Here's the deal. There are many types of students....

I was reading the code of FFmpeg and it seems that they use malloc just too much. The problems and dangers of malloc are widely known. Malloc also has some overhead (although I don't know what is the overhead of automatic variable sized arrays, I suspect it is smaller than that of malloc), although I'm not too worried about it. I was thinking that, with C99's variable length arrays, malloc shouldn't be needed most of the time. But I'm...

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...

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. The idea...
