Thats a good tutorial....

Try doing any remotely useful things with **** Small Linux! It just cant! Lets say, a KDE desktop, OpenOffice document printing, hosting a PHP/MySQL portal....

Yeah, seriously.... Go FreeBSD indeed. And if you are comfortable with terminal, even better! As I remember, we initially started using linux in 1999 and loved it for its non-bloat nature. But now pretty much every mainstream linux distro is getting slow-running & bloated (except gentoo to an extent). And from the other end of the spectrum, FreeBSD is getting more compatible with linux, hardware support, its getting GUIs (like KDE, GNOME...) & is still secure & light-weight. So I favour FreeBSD now.

Flame bait.In any case, generalisation is not the best policy. As for the topic's original question, it seems to have been solved by the poster himself. FOR EVERYONE ELSE: Please post in correct english, makes it far simpler for us to help.

http://johnhaller.com/jh/useful_stuff/portable_openoffice/ Portable OpenOffice.org allows you to carry an entire office suite -- word processing, spreadsheet, presentations, drawing, etc. -- with you on an iPod, USB thumbdrive, portable hard drive or any other portable media. You can plug it right into any Windows computer and use it just like you would on your own. Portable OpenOffice.org is a repackaged version of OpenOffice.org designed with portability in mind. It works just like regular OpenOffice.org installed on your computer does, except it allows you to use it on any Windows computer without installing anything. It has all the features of the excellent OpenOffice.org office suite except for the Data application. It also includes some special enhancements to make it work even better from your portable drive.

Antimalware blog Every week seems like a big week for us in the engineering team working on our anti-malware technology. However, last week was especially important in a sentimental way. We got the final name for the cool technology our team has been developing for Windows. The name, after long consideration by our product marketing and branding folks, is "Windows Defender"! What's really cool about this name is that it’s more positive than "Windows AntiSpyware". Windows Defender is about what Windows will do for customers, defending them from spyware and other unwanted software. Our solution has really been about more than just the standard definition of "spyware". We’ve always said we will provide visibility and control, as well as protection, detection and removal from other potentially unwanted software, including rootkits, keystroke loggers and more. Making the engineering change from "Windows AntiSpyware" to "Windows Defender" took a lot of careful coordination across our team to ensure that the strings in the UI got changed, the help files all got updated, registry keys, file names and properties, as well as a couple of images all got changed. All this work was completed and tested last Thursday, and is currently making its way through our build systems in Windows to make it into the main build environment, where official builds come from. We're pretty excited by the name, and by the sleek new UI and other improvements we've been making in it to help make Windows Vista the best operating system around! But Windows Defender is about a lot more than just a name change. The engine is now moved to a system service, and signatures are delivered over Windows Update. The detection mechanisms have also been radically improved by applying to spyware threats all the great detection technology we use in our antivirus engine.

New version out, yet again...

Well, thats no reason to bash the post! If someone doesnt want to install an SP, its his choice. Please dont troll.

Yes, best way to find out is that! Nothing will get spoilt anyways.... Hmm no, its working fine & we still love that feature for the tremendous convenience it provides!

Thats cool.. Thanks

True, and for that we need another hundred thousand posts. Provided, that they dont move the goal-post by then....

Coolsights2000, please tone down the size of the fonts! And read rule 7b. If anyone who does know the answer sees this topic, then they'd post it...

The thing to remember here is, you cant use an XPproSP2 CD + MCE CD2, & expect to enter an MCE key & install MCE! You *NEED* the MCE CD1 + MCE CD2.

I am happy to come back to this topic, almost a year down the line, and note that we're now past the 400 thousand posts point!!!!!!!

Hmmm...If you are on XP, then do try this to make it look better: 1. Right-click desktop, go to display properties. 2. Go to the "Appearance" tab there. 3. Click the "Effects" button (its towards bottom-right of the dialog box). 4. Enable "Use the following method to smooth edges of screen fonts". 5. In that SAME drop-down box, choose "ClearType". 6. Click "OK" and apply the settings. 7. Now screen will look sort of blurry, dont mind that, complete the next set of steps. 1. Right-click desktop, go to display properties. 2. Go to the "Settings" tab there. 3. Click the "Advanced" button (its towards bottom-right of the dialog box). 4. You will now be looking at the "General" tab. 5. You have a drop-down box for "DPI setting". 6. Click it & choose "Large size (120 DPI)". 7. Click OK & apply these settings. Now, provided that your refresh rate is above 75 Hz atleast, you will see that even at high resolutions, the on-screen text is comfortable to your eye.

Cant say for sure unless the specifics are known. Like from exactly what settings, and the TO exactly what settings.

This post should prolly go to driverpacks section....

Thanks to DL for mentioning this.

No, "direct hit" is not a rating! Its a quick summary of the article, with all the important details in a few lines. Its made for people who want to read all articles quickly - they can see the "direct hit" box, & decide if the review is about something they are interested in, or not. That way, they need not read the whole page to know what its about, & can read only the articles they are interested in, to save time.

XPMCE2005-CD1 & XPproSP2 - the two discs are almost the same, except slight differences: 5 files in the I386 folder. & the CMPNENTS folder.

haha

IIS sucks for php/mysql. A better solution is to download, install, & use apache+php+mysql. Or, if you dont have the time to read instructions about how to do all of it, use a pre-configured pack, like xampp
