This post by Microsoft (disclaiming its need to adhere to GPLv3) has me depressed. Not because of what it portends for open source, but because of how dumb it makes the company look, as Mary Jo Foley of ZDNet points out. Not to mention that it makes Novell look really dumb for trusting Microsoft to play nicely. (But then, that foolishness was never in doubt.) Still, Novell has just released this response to Microsoft's position: Shortly after the GPLv3 license was released, Microsoft issued a statement in which they expressed their view that Microsoft is not a party to the GPLv3 and it is therefore not applicable to them. Yesterday, they also articulated t…

This Briefcase requires a newer version of the software
by Guest thecreator- 0 replies
- 419 views
Hi All, Windows XP Professional x64 Edition. I have installed the Evaluation version, which is fully updated. However, using a Briefcase to contain my Downloads, rather than a simple Download Folder, I can open the New Briefcase on the Desktop with no problems. With the Briefcase closed, I attempted to save a download into the Briefcase Folder, so the Briefcase is not in use, but I get that message in the Subject line. The operating system is installed in a seperate partition, by itself and is not sharing anything at this time. -- thecreator

Debugging Login Explorer Hangs
by Guest tim_milstead@yahoo.co.uk- 0 replies
- 335 views
When I login as any user (limited or admin) explorer occassionally hangs and the login only proceeds if I kill explorer using the task manager and the run explorer. I have removed as many startup programs as possible and it still does it. I don't expect anyone to diagnose my problem, but I was wondering if there is any way of trouble shooting what the problem is. The even viewer contains nothing of use and sysinternals process explorer programs don't help either. Is there some way of debugging explorer to see what is going on? Thank in advance, Tim.

Vista device manager driver update incorrectly says newest is installed
by Guest Cacadril- 0 replies

My brother has a Fujitsu/Siemens Amilo with AMD Turion 64x2 processor and an Atheros AR5005G wireless network adapter, running 32-bit Vista Home Premium. There appeared to be no way to make the wifi work. It did show the list of available networks, but when he tried to connect, the message was something like "connection failed" (in a different European language). The system showed a button offering to diagnose the problem, but then the diagnosis was "connection failed for an unknown reason" (all mesages translated by me). After several failed attempts I found the corresponding event log messages, which were promised to contain a detailed analysis. However, the…

"Hidden" attribute
by Guest chromian- 0 replies

I do hope someone can help me please. I am entirely new to Vista. While mucking around trying to figure out why a legacy program would not run, I decided to "unhide" the gateway recovery partition and somehow copy the files to a disk. Anyway, so that I would not injure the protected files I first copied the files to a D drive partition created with Partition Magic V8. I then used the Vista burner interface to prepare the files (on D) to burn a dvd. The size was over 5Gb, so it was not going to work. I baled out, but kept getting a popup that said I had files prepared for burning. So I went back into the burner window and deleted the files from the lis…

No playback after recording audio
by Guest brett- 0 replies
- 536 views
I use Multitrackstudio to record audio from a digital piano. I go from the piano headphone out to the laptop mic input. That's my only option. Then I record ok and can playback ok. I shut down Multitrackstudio. Now when I try to play anything in iTunes or Windows Media Player, nothing happens. There isn't any progress on the progress bar or audio. They seem to remain in a paused state. I have to reboot before audio works again. Any suggestions on why this happens and how it can be fixed? Thanks, Brett

I have created a Catalog in Computer Management and can query this catalog in COmputer Managemen and it works. I wanted to make this Catalog available to all users on the Network via a web page. According to Microsoft this can be done. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/825487 When you use this asp script it will return the expected results in the web page but only on the WEB catalog and not the new catalog I have created. If you let it do the index of 300000+ documents it will come back and index one particular folder down the tree and ignore the rest, but there seems nothing different about that folder. I tried to add the folders i want indexed into the…

I am receiving a Runtime Error 55 "File already open" every time I open a particular program (Examsoft/Softest). I have already tried 1) end tasking every open program 2) shutting down and restarting 3) disk cleanup 4) system restore to before the problem. No luck. Unfortunately, it is absolutely not an option to uninstall and reinstall the program. Any ideas? Thanks!
