Has anyone got the "heads-up" on what happens when I click on my ebay toolbar, to go to the ebay.co.uk, When I clicked on it tonight there seemed to be some attempt to redirect me to www.rover.ebay.....lotsofgobbledygookhttp://www.ebay.co.uk\Moregobbledygook ..... and I got an IE7 "Page cannot be displayed" ..MVP hosts file :-) ....perhaps ? or, if you like show me ebay "within" another page, sort of thing.

For a while Da Wanabee Jerk count was higher than Da Jerk count. But that did not last for long. Da Jerk reclaimed da top spot but now it is neck and neck again. What is happening to Da Jerk? Is he getting tired or is he just too busy playing his game of Hide And SICK.

Thanks for all your help :). So I use voice over ip for my work phone calls and I have all my client files in Excel so I am able to use the Sip Url code to make calls directly from my Excel but on Access it doesn't seem to let me. I like access and its Contact Organizer because it has a lot more functionality. One side note: what are digital signatures exactly? My work emails often times end up in client's spam folders (maybe because it has "loan" in the email address). If I acquired a digital signature, would it stop this or is there anything I can do??? Thanks so much and I appreciate all the help! -- xxsassxx31

AHCI (Advanced Host Controller Interface) NCQ ( Native Command Queuing) (puts commands to HD in order) Got a new drive (Seagate ST3 750 330 AS), and thought I'd try this NCQ stuff. Set BIOS to AHCI and AHCI BIOS. The BIOS did pick up all my SATA drives on the AHCI BIOS. However, Vista started up (progress bar) but about 5-10 secs later, a BSOD flashed and it re-booted. I looked up AHCI on MSKB and found this:(that is, I reset BIOS to IDE, re-booted, and then looked it up) http://support.microsoft.com/kb/922976/en-us I could sorta remember that BSOD flashing by as a STOP, so I tried it . Voila - reboot after setting BIOS to AHCI and AHCI BIOS on, Vista…

So, I set up the Default Domain Policy under Group Policy Management in Server Manager in Windows Server 2008 for Folder Redirection. The settings I chose were Basic (Redirect everyone's folder to the same location), and under Target Folder Location, "Create a folder for each user under the root path" was chosen. The Root Path is set as \ \SageRealtyDC.SageRealty.local\SageRealtyUsers. I set up SageRealtyUsers as a Share and gave Everyone Full Control. From most of what I read on the subject of Folder Redirection, this should create a folder in the SageRealtyUsers folder when the user logs in using this new policy for the first time, and copy the My Documents…

Hi I am running Win XP Home (SP 3). After re-installing my HP PSC 750 driver, I am constantly receiving Delayed Write Error messages. I cannot disable the write caching on the drive as it is "greyed" out on the Policies tab of the drive properties. I have also tried through the device manger, without success. Is there a way to desable this in the registry? I have looked at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System \CurrentControlSet\Services\Lanman server\Parameters which many sites recommend setting the value to 0. My question is what "item" in this registry setting must be set to 0? Am I on the right track to solve the problem? Do you have any other solutions? Than…

Hi, I always get the message: {Lost Delayed-Write Data} The system was attempting to transfer file data from Buffers to \Device\LanmanRedirector. The write operation failed, and only some of the data may have been written to the file (in German) Message ID 50 Last Word C000020C on my Server 2008. Applications crash when this message occurs. All hints are for Server 2003. Is there any helpo for Sever 2008? Thanks Ole

At home, my Vista Ultimate doesn't allow me to run Windows Backup as administrator. It demands me to logon as administrator. At job, my Vista Business doesn't demand that. Why this difference? In time: I've tried to update my Vista Business to SP1 five times, always with failure. May this difference be version-related? Thanks in advance. Rosivaldo.

Hi! Can somebody advice free software on disk to disk back up with the option to back up to an external drive ? I found Paragon Drive Backup 9.0 Express (http://www.paragon-software.com/home/db-express/), it might be one to test, but I'm guessing it doesn't have much in the way of features... is here anyone who tried this software? Thank you!
