| December 28, 2007 @ 4:12pm | Personally I can't stand Vista. The last several computers I've bought for myself and others I limited my choice to those which came with XP. Dell allows you to choose between the two when you order from them, which I find a really attractive selling point for them.
Other than the general appearance bells and whistles I've not yet found anything Vista does that XP can't. I find all the system administration and networking tasks much more obscure and tedious on Vista.
And coupled with the performance hit you take with Vista (it runs noticeably slower on any machine I've seen, and even know of techs who recommend going back to XP when someone tells them their new computer is too slow), makes me stay far away from it.

| Finally making the plunge for Windows Vista on my home PC | December 28, 2007 @ 12:31pm | Anyone have any good things to say about Vista? I've heard plenty of horror stories, but I'm hoping Microsoft has been able to work out a lot of the bugs by now. The hardware is a significant upgrade over my previous pc, so I'm hoping to see a nice performance increase regardless of the OS. Any Vista tips/reviews/warnings are apprecieated. Thanks!

| NTFS Permissions | June 30, 2006 @ 12:20pm | Hi everyone,
I have a desktop that is running xp pro and all my partitions are ntfs formatted, but when I go to properties for a folder or file there is no security tab only a shareing and security tab like its fat file system. and I cant connect to it from my laptop, xp pro also. network places shows nothing, if I go to show networked computers I see the computer but cant connect, I am thinking this is all related. but Ive been over and over everything and cant figure it out.
Can someone help me please?
thanks, phil |

| Unable to activate subscription renewal in Norton Systemworks 2004 Pro | April 10, 2005 @ 9:11pm | If you're having trouble activating the subscription renewal you just purchased, and the instructions on the Symantec site don't help, here's one more thing you can try.
In my case, I wasn't getting the screen to enter the subscription key into. I would click the button to continue to the spot where I expected to find a box to paste in my code, but instead ended up with a browser window displaying a useless section of the Symantec site, and a message in the program thanking me for activating my new subscription! Add to this the fact that I read on their site that the subscription key is only valid for seven days and I'd purchased it four days ago, I was starting to regret ever buying it!
I proceeded to attempt to uninstall the entire package, which it also would not comply with, errorring off in their uninstall package. Attempting to reinstall it was futile, too, as it detected the existing installation and told me to uninstall it! Thanks!
The solution (I use that term loosely in this case), was to uninstall the antivirus portion of Systemworks, then install it again, activate the subscription renewal, and finally perform the liveupdate on it. That narrows it down to something in their own update breaking the renewal process, which is pretty sad for a package as expensive from a company as big as them. Oh well.
Hope this helps someone in the future. I sure would have been delighted to find this before! |

| 'cvtaplog' causes Windows Defrag and Norton Speed Disk to crash | December 25, 2004 @ 7:21pm | (This problem was encountered and solved on a Windows 98SE machine. Other versions of Windows may also share this problem and solution.)
When attempting to run Windows' Disk Defragmenter or Norton SystemWorks 2004's Speed Disk, both crash and list "cvtaplog" as having performed an illegal operation. It turns out there was corrupted information in the c:\windows\applog folder (used to store data related to optimizing programs). Simply renaming this folder to something else allowed defragmenting to proceed as normal.
Note: Contrary to the claims of some websites (many of which were only setup to scare people into the security sites and services they're pitching), this program is not a virus, trojan, adware, spyware or anything else. It's part of Windows and not harmful to your computer in any way (unless you're trying to defrag!). There are some viruses (such as this one) which may overwrite that and many other Windows system files with their virus code, but the presence of this file on its own doesn't mean you have a virus. |

| Unstable Connections On Your Own Cables | December 1, 2004 @ 2:42am | If you're creating your own Cat5 network cables, to save money or to make running them over longer or more difficult stretches easier, be very careful to create them with the correct wiring scheme. Cables that work fine at 10Mbps may cause huge headaches at 100Mbps because of incorrect ordering of the twisted pairs.
Be sure to create your cables as follows:
Left to right, looking at the back of the connector (the side without the tab)

For straight-through cables (those connecting computers to hubs/switches/routers), use the same on both ends. For cross-wired cables (those connecting two computers directly together), make one end like the diagram below:

| Why Get A Cable/DSL Router/Gateway, And How To Set It All Up | December 1, 2004 @ 2:18am | So you're getting a high speed cable (through your cable company's network) or dsl (Digital Subscriber Line) connection. What is a router/gateway, and why do I need one?
A router/gateway is a device that sits between your computer(s) and cable/dsl modem. It will serve several useful purposes for you.
First, it will protect you from many external attacks by acting as a hardware firewall. Since your connection is always on, it's always open for anyone to try and get in, so a hardware firewall is highly recommended.
The second purpose this device serves is allowing you to share your connection between multiple computers (up to 255 for many models). The speed will be divided between the machines using it at any time, but for most connections and uses this won't be a problem or even noticable.
A third benefit comes for dsl connections. Most utilize a technology called PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet) to verify your account with them, quite similar to dialup connections asking for a username and password. This technology requires that you install a software package on your computer, which you have to run and click a connect button when you wish to use the connection. A router capable of supporting PPPoE (most models will) will allow you to remove this annoyance and simply launch your internet applications as if the connection was already established, and the router does the rest.
And four, certain models will also serve as a wireless access point for any wireless clients you may wish to add to your network (hard to cable areas or laptops/notebooks).
As for how to set it all up, generally it's as simple as plugging in a few cables. The installation is as follows: Internet >> Cable or DSL modem >> Router/Gateway >> Computer(s).
Most models will require little or no configuration for cable connections, and simply inserting your assigned username and password for dsl connections. Some providers may require small settings tweaks to get everything working, but the provider, router maker, or a quick internet search should help get this all sorted out. Settings can be configured through a web browser pointed to the router's address, which will be described in the manual.
Routers from companies such as D-Link, Linksys, Microsoft, Belkin and others will offer the features you're looking for. I personally prefer D-Link models (DI-604 for cabled networks, and DI-614+ with wireless), but they all seem to have good and bad reviews so your mileage may vary! |

| Tip: Sharing Windows 2000/XP Drives From Windows 98 Machines | December 1, 2004 @ 2:02am | | In order to allow Windows 98 machines access to a shared Windows 2000 or XP drive, you must first create an entry in the Administrative Tools section of the Control Panel for that machine on the Windows 2000/XP machine, then grant it the appropriate permissions on the shared drive. Then, use that username you created as the Windows login on the Windows 98 machine. Otherwise, you will get an IPC$ login box asking you for a password you never set when you try to access the shared resource. |
