malik22 Posted May 22, 2008 Author Share Posted May 22, 2008 What are msu packages services packs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomorrow Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 What are msu packages services packs?No.The updates you manually download from Microsoft Download Center are in .msu format and with WinSxS removed installation of these is broken(not possible...exits with error).

minotaur Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Yes, you need to have the Event Log Service running (left on automatic) to be able to use Diskeeper. In any case, turning ELS off will not get you any noticeable performance benefit, as it takes up hardly any CPU time and memory. My approach is to not disable any service unless it specifically gives trouble or eats up too much in the way of resources. I too hate resource hogs. In fact, Diskeeper itself runs as a service, but barely takes up any resources ..quite amazing considering what it does...a very tightly written program IMO. BTW, is there any advantage in connecting the camera directly to the PC for file transfers? I haven't gone that route in a while....I always use an SD card reader...seems to be much faster that way.

TranceEnergy Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 And is DNS client needed for the internet to work?If you configure manual static ip adress you can remove dhcp/dns. I wouldnt remove dns and dhcp if you use it on a laptop f.exand usually keep changing to different networks. Would only make life unnecessary difficult.For home usage, same adsl modem, everything static, no reasion to keep it unless u cba to set manual ip adresses.
