It's plain that you've never run any sort of company. Hell you can't even run your own life nor your own little Vista computer. This is a person, Bill Gates, in control, in charge and doing his job. It may seen like a piece of MS "dirty laundry" to a fukkin drunken loser like you but as he says, "...What do you think I do all day? Sending an e-mail like that, that is my job.

I'm running XP pro. At times I have problems getting the DVD drive to update its directory. I try all sorts of refreshing but ending up booting my machine. This is kind of over kill. What simplier way is there to force an update? I do not have any sort of auto play turned on. (DVDs were burned as data DVDs with Nero.) Don <www.donwiss.com> (e-mail link at home page bottom).

I have discovered several things about this LLTD situation. 1. the v5 version of the file will only install on SP2. 2. if you have LLTD installed before you apply SP3 the LLTD files are updated to the SP3 versions. 3. there is a v6 installer for XP SP3, but you have to request it from Microsoft. 4. if you need LLTD on XP x64 or Server 2k3 x64, get the files off a Vista x64 system and install them as noted in the link for installing the v5 package on SP2. Spread the word. I don't understand why Microsoft is making it so difficult for people to get LLTD on XP, 32-bit & 64-bit, and server 2003.

I have found some command line commands to do the sync but does anyone know if there is a way to do the pairings? Thanks. Kevin

Experts, I am running Windows 2003 Server SP2, and on this machine, I cannot get the Workstation service to start automatically (thoug the service is set to start automatically). Once the machine boots up, I can log in and start the service from the services panel manually without any problems. I checked the dependencies, and this service is not dependent on any other service. Understandably, other services that are dependent on Workstation do not start up either. The Error log lists the following two entries: Event Type: Error Event Source: Service Control Manager Event Category: None Event ID: 7009 Date: 8/6/2008 Time: 10:12:12 AM User: N/A C…
