  1. Hi,

    I'm looking for a portable 12.1" laptop and I saw a nice HP laptop at Costco with a touch screen for 1000$. The specs are nice: 3GB ram, 250GB@5400 HDD, LightScribe DVDRW and ATI 3200HD with 64MB on board (with available 1400 shared memory support).

    The only downside is the CPU, it has a AMD Turion™ X2 RM-70 dual-core mobile processor 2 GHz with 1MB L2 cache processor (and that's probably the reason for the low price tag). It runs Win Vista premium.

    The main purpose of this laptop will be email, office, web and some Visual Studio development. Will this CPU be enough? Can it run 64 bit windows? What Intel CPU is comparable to this one?

    Thanks.

  2. Hi,

    I have a few accounts configured in my Outlook 2007. One of my account can receive emails but cannot send any (unless I'm in my office network). A few days ago I got an email in this account and the sender asked a read confirmation and I clicked OK by mistake.

    Now here's the problem: outlook tries to send the read receipt through the "read-only" account and can't since the SMTP server does not accept any outgoing emails. The thing is that there is no email in the outbox mail so there is no way for me to delete this receipt. As a result I keep getting annoying errors messages when running outlook.

    Does anybody know where is this message hiding?

    TIA.

  3. if IIS7 is important and you also need the Media center you have to use the Ultimate Edition which includes both

    Well, the Ultimate is way too pricey for me, and features like IIS7 (and they probably have MSMQ etc.) are more important for me than the media center and the premium version of solitare...

  4. Hi,

    So I'm comparing the Vista Premium and Business editions, and frankly it seems that the Premium edition is much better (not to mention cheaper).

    The premium has all the media features while the Business offers fax/scanning, backup and remote desktop support without any of the media features. Are there any other key features of the Business edition that I'm missing?

    Reason I'm asking is that I'm about to get one of these versions and I find it hard to justify the Business edition.

    Thanks.

  5. Officially Adobe Photoshop CS2 is not supported by Vista and Adobe are not going to fix it. If you want Vista support you should get CS3. So maybe CS2 will run on the Vista machine but you don't know what surprises await...

  6. I really wish people would learn to use google. ;)

    Search buddy, search. Not that hard to find it

    Simply search the file name and its the first result... That is "Windows6.0-KB931770-x86.msu". See how easy that was....

    I've searched, found, installed and got myself a nice blue screen. The way I understand it the intstallation of this patch is not automatic, but involves manual copies and settings.

  7. Hi,

    It takes me ages to copy files in Vista. It's much slower than XP and actually quite annoying. I've heard that MS made a patch for it. Where can I find this patch?

    Thanks.

  8. Cause there's no support for 98se and XP sucks.

    Wrong!! Windows XP is a very good OS. It is 98SE that sucks and it is a great thing that there is no support for it!! XP should be supported for a long long long time to come as it is already a good OS.

    XP is a good OS, but this presents a problem to Microsoft: why upgrade from a reliable OS? I'm sure that lots of IT managers think the same. Perhaps by reducing support and simply selling new PCs with Vista only will cause people to upgrade to Vista. It worked with the transition from Win2k to xp.

  9. Ok, perhaps someone already asked this question but here I go again:

    What exactly do I get from upgrading to Vista? It's a huge spyware which follows every move I take. I (semi) understand the need for the activation feature already in XP, but why probe my PC every day? Also, it seems like that instead of letting me do more, this OS makes sure I do less, and supervises it. Making sure that we cannot copy HD content or even DVD content and I can just go on and on.

    So I get some transperancy features, is that a good reason to upgrade?

    What do you think?

  10. Hi,

    I have a WinXP with Radeon 7000 and a 19" Widescreen Acer LCD. Up until recently I was using the 1440x900 resolution (the native for the monitor), but for some reason it disappered lately and the only widescreen resolution I can get is 1280*768. The funny thing is that I can set the system for higher resolutions than 1440 and it works. I have all the latest drivers for both the monitor and the graphics card.

    How can I get this resolution back?

    Thanks.
