hdparm for windows?

mezron
I've got a couple of 7200 rpm maxtor drives in my computer. One or both of them make a bit of noise and I'd like to find out which without opening the case (it's a hassle to get out of my desk). I'm looking for a utility that I can use to make an individual hard drive spin down.

How to determine a missing Codec from video files

videobruce
Trying to play certain video files in different viewers (IrFanView for starters) and some won't open because a certain Codec is missing. Others with that same extension will play. How do you determine what Codec is needed with a given file before you try to open it other than looking at the file extension?.

Small footprint fax server for Windows 2000 server

mthaler
I would like to find a small fax server that uses a standard faxmodem, that can be placed on a Win2K server. Winfax Pro does NOT work on Win2k Server, although it can be networked with a NON server. Preferably the program would be one that does not take a huge amount of memory or space.

Anyone else tried the new Nvidia Drivers 44.03?

PTS
They are amazing. . I ran DXDIAG first thing. You would not believe how fast everything moves in the graphics tests. I then tried some games. I'm playing ALICE at 1600x1200 and getting 100 fps. That is impressive, but I really was blown away by DXDIAG.
