I'd like to speed my bootups by removing unneeded items from starting up using MSCONFIG. One of the items is "Service Manager" (sqlmanger.exe). Some of the Google references think it's a useful file, but I'm not aware of using SQL in my normal applications, and I think I don't need to have it start at bootup. Any reason NOT to disable it at startup? Bobbi

Ubuntu 8.04 has Firefox 3 as the default browser. On July 16, 2008 Mozilla released Firefox 3.0.1 that fixes a lot of critical security flaws. But at current date, there're no updates for Firefox 3 for Ubuntu 8.04. 'Check for updates' button is also disabled in Firefox. Still no updates for Firefox 3 in Ubuntu Update Manager. Ubuntu security sucks!

I take an early look at Apple's new Windows products, the iPhone 3G, iPhone 2.0 software, and MobileMe, and deliver some preliminary verdicts! More...

Thanks for the fix. Updates work again. :) -- DMG Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com

Where does the files to a mounted drive end up? For example, I have a Asus 701 with a 4GB SSD (solid state drive). Not a lot of room, plus writing to SSD and flash drives reduces how long they will last. EEE PCs also sports a SD(HC) slot. I have two SDHC 16GB, so I have a lot of space now. Problem though, lots of programs won't install on a removable drive. And Windows doesn't like parts of itself on a removable drive either (swap file for example). So the solution is to use "Mount in the following empty NTFS folder" option. And I installed many programs through a mounted folder and things were fine. I also modified where my Settings and Documents folder …

I continue to get this update even after it shows that it was successfully installed. I have done every step suggested in the knowledge base troubleshooter. Does anyone have a solution -- cboston

I'd post this in the 2003 Server group, except there isn't one. :) I just installed the trial version of 2003 Enterprise Server SP2 and after the installation, the system reboots, the splash screen displays, then the video signal disappears. I'm using the ATI AIW 9600 video card. When booting into safe mode, the Devices list shows the 9600 series drivers loaded. Why is the screen going blank if the default Windows drivers are loading? I have checked several forums and there are many people using the same card with this OS. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance. T. M.

I found that a Realtek RTL8168C(P)/8111C(P) driver was offered on windows update for the new Gigabyte EP45-DS3. After installing I discovered the driver was older than my current one. Surely dates are checked for drivers during the update process? The driver failed, so I rolled back. Easy enough, just letting you know.

PROBLEM RESOLVED! I uninstalled the SP3, then did some basic troubleshooting of my cd-rom drive...it appears that the problem was in the registry files..I got an error message when I accessed this :"_NEC NR-7800A properties (Code 39)" saying the device driver may be corrupted or missing. So, with that in mind I went to http://www.dell.com typed in the 'Code 39' which led me to the http://www.microsoft.com fix titled 'Guided Help'...simple as that, it fixed it and my cd-rom is now working like usual. Hope this helps anyone else who may have the same problem. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "Lou 62" wrote: > Hi, I have a …

Sorry for the repost on this. I posted this in a wrong newsgroup I beleive. I'm running into a robelm when I attempt to install 2.8 SP1 on a Windows 2000 Professional machine. 'm receiving an Advanced Inf Installer pop up box stating INF Installer failure. Reason: Access is denied. Any idea on this or how I can resolve it to get MDAC 2.8 SP1 on W2K installed. I need it for one of my applications to install.
