I have loaded Vista on my Dell laptop and all works fine except the bubbles screensaver. Instead of the bubbles floating over the desktop it changes to a white background with the bubbles floating around. Is there some way I can get the desktop to show in the screensaver? Any help appreciated. -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com

Selective Security Wipe
by Guest mark- 0 replies
- 221 views
Sorry for the dup post between groups, but thought I might try this one as well. Wondering if anyone has a suggestion for how to perform selective deletion of data from multiple servers and volumes, that will meet DOD erasure standards when completed? One of our clients is not using our services any longer and has requested all data pertaining to their business, be deleted from any and all servers. Obviously backups will need to be addressed, but there are over 40 servers with multiple volumes and MS SQL Server. I have found a few utilities that appear to do this (like DODlete and Eraser) but time and efficiency are a key component and I would like to aut…

benchmarks, perfmon, monitoring
by Guest SPiderman- 0 replies
- 259 views
Hi, What does everyone recommend for perfmon, benchmarks, db monitoring, and server alerting for down issues? I like sitescope but it isn't in the budget. I heard what's up gold is decent, but sitescope is much better. We have MOM now but it isn't giving us what we need/want and we want a product that will hit unix/linux as well. How about getting stats on servers that seem to start crawling a specific time of day? I can't tell if it is the server memory or the application? Some apps are oracle db's, some are sql db's? What is the best approach? Would a product like Sandra Software http://www.sisoftware.net/ help out?

Windows 2003/2000 overall performance monitoring/benchmarks, monit
by Guest SPiderman- 0 replies

Hi, What is everyone using to get stats on overall server performance, benchmarks, and server monitoring? I like SiteScope quite a bit but it isn't in the budget. The windows perfmon is Ok but just not great. I am trying to look at stats on some servers to figure out why some applications are running slow or should I say servers. We have some sql apps, oracle db based apps, citrix servers, and some others. I want to just find a decent app that will give me an idea of if the hardware is getting maxed out or if it is just the app slowing down, any idea, suggestions, web links, pointers, whatever you got, I will take it, thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!

As I state din some other threads, I have had the same problemn as many where the Vista photos screen saver crashes upon use. This was not the case when I got the machine. Well, After a long time trying to figure out how to fix this, I did. MY problem (which mayu be different from yours) was due to a BAD codec that ligos installed along with some 3rd party software. All I had to do was unregister the file, and BAM.. works great once again (except certain video fdiles the saver can not play come up with a generic ico.. and this has always bene the case). it seems that the Windows Photo Gallery and Windows media player, while looking the same, are n…

I do not know where to post this question. i hope this is the right place. I recently installed VS 2005 on a brand new dell with Vista on it. I am having issues with the future "Options to Implement Interface (Shift + alt + f10)" which is shown when you are deriving from an interface. For example: try follwing: class UserArrayList<T> : IList<T> {} The option shows up when i put my cursor over the IList<T> statement but when i click on the down arraow nothing happens it just disappears. its very annoying. can someone help please. Everything else works fine, including autocomplete and intellisense. thanks
