I just did a clean install of XP SP2 and then went to Update. It downloaded 84 updates and patches but no IE7. Weird. Bozo :joker:

How do you start FAST from the command prompt? Can I presume the /? command will show all the switches? Bozo :joker:

Cool! I used a pair of virtual XP installs to play with File and Transfer wizard. Looks like all the programs must be installed on the new computer and it brings the settings, keys and license info over. And, I can burn all this info to a CD/DVD before I trash the old system. Bozo :joker:

I've never used the transfer wizard. Don't know if I will be able to. I only have one power supply :crap: Bozo :joker:

I have narrowed the shutdowns/lockups to two things that are common to the problem computers. The memory and a software program call Cimplicity. Once the Crucial DDR ECC memory is replaced with standard Crucial DDR memory on the computers running Cimplicity, the shutdowns/lockups stop. Strange...

I just ordered a new motherboard. I could clone and reinstall my operating system, but I am contemplating installing XP 64bit with SP2. I use Firefox for 90% of my browsing and IE-7 for the rest. I use Outlook Express for mail. I would like to keep my address book and web links. Could I just...

Link worked for me. Didn't M$ buy VMWare? Bozo :joker:

Detroit Lockers are not locked all the time. You wouldn't be able to go around corners very well. And, your description of the G80 is exactly how a Detroit Locker works. Good road test:http://www.pickuptruck.com/html/stories/eaton/page1.html Bozo :joker:

MS tried to copy some of these features in Vista. But, Vistas' search function blows goats. Bozo :joker:

Did a little research. Seems it is a Detroit Locker (made by Eaton Corp) in the GM trucks. It' option code is G80. Eaton makes two models. The standard mechanical unit and a electrically engaged unit. They have been available for almost 40 years. Back in 1967 they were the prefered rear for...

Toyota trucks were available with a lockable rear axle (driver selectable) in 2001. The Ranger pickups have the Torsen rear axle available since 2001. Detroit Locker rear axles have been available for years. Bozo :joker:

Big difference between AWD and 4WD. AWD makes power available to all four tires but the one that is easyest to turn gets the most. Most systems monitor the tire speed and transfer the power away from the slipping tire. If you could get 3 tires on dry pavement, and one on ice, the one on the ice...

The Toyota dealer near me just built a truck/suv building. They hired 8 more mechanics. Even considering the amount of vehicles they sell and their percieved quality, the mechanics in the car building should have been able to handle the load. I'm not knocking Toyota. I just believe there is a...

We have some eqiupment at work made in Germany. Some of the German engineers that were here wanted to buy American cars and have them shipped to Germany. They think the German cars are junk. Go figure. One thing that I always like to point out to the Pro German/Japan/Korean fans, is that the...

Thin men / large women: A lot of women gain weight after having children. Could be hormones or a shift in life style. Men tend to gain weight later in life. More a shift in life style and eating habits. That's a very unscientific observation I've made. Bozo :joker:

RE: referers. How does a server handle someone who visits your site but is using something like TOR? Does it only see the last address? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tor_(anonymity_network) Bozo :joker:

I've been poking around with a WD 80GB USB drive trying to get XP to boot from it. No luck. I installed XP on the host computer and made an image of it with Acronis. Then I installed the image on the USB drive. That part worked fine. But, I get a BSOD shortly after XP starts to load from the USB...

Windoes Media Player calls home looking for updates. I've had that happen on a few occasions. I've never had IE7 do anything like Tannin described. Bozo :joker:

Good news from "Daily Tech" 1. Boot from the Windows Vista Upgrade DVD and start the setup program. 2. When prompted to enter your product key, DO NOT enter it. Click "Next" and proceed with setup. This will install Windows Vista as a 30-day trial. 3. When prompted, select the edition of Vista...

The $180 is for Windows and all the other crap installed. All the preinstalled crap that fills the taskbar from one side of the screen to the other with icons. The crap the causes the computer to take 5 minutes to boot up. Dell tech support?????? Isn't that an oxymoron? Bozo :joker:

The best bet is to actually go to a store and sit in them. Everyones derriere is different. Lombar support is important too. Take your time making the decission. Getting a sore back or cramps after an hour or so in the chair will negate the low price. Bozo :joker:

Microsofts Virtual PC 2007 will be out in March? It's free and is even easier to set up. I used Vista beta as the host and installed DOS 6.2 as the guest OS. Don't know why I did that, but it worked. :) It even works with MS Server operating systems, host or guest. Bozo :joker:

Vista should have been 'fixed' before it shipped. :crap: Bozo :joker:

These are some of the Vista problems. http://www.intelliadmin.com/blog/2007/01/5-sins-of-vista.html All were reported during the beta. Bozo :joker:

Been testing SP2 for XP64 and Server 2003 for a while now. I've never had any problems with the service pack. XP64 really comes alive when SP2 is added. On my test system there was a very noticable increase in speed. Drivers for some hardware is still a problem though. That's not MS's fault...

That's a shame. I have about 50 Plextors of various flavors deployed at work. Some in a pretty hostile industrial envirnment. Never had one fail. That's more than I can say for the non-Plextor optical drives I've used. Bozo :joker:

Nope. :( Bozo :joker:
