4saken Thanks for the reminder about the Opt-out! I just rebuilt my computer to Win7 and didn't add it back. I won't go anywhere without AdBlock Plus installed!

If you buy the upgrade for 7, you can start with a blank drive. Essentially it should work like the old Windows XP installer that searched for a boot floppy or cd for Win988.

Of all the times my schools MSDNAA provider could be updating! I'm still running RC1 and have yet to find a problem. Too bad I will be modifying the ISO before installing since I don't want to flatten my computer again. Upgrade from RC1 to RTM coming soon!

I was pretty much forced to move back to TWC due to AT&T's low throughput in the new development I just moved to. Hard to live on 1.5 Mbps down when I am using streaming audio/video for classes. I have never had an issue with TWC, with the exception of a higher price per month. At the moment, I...

Since the phone is not acting as a bridge for the computer (Connecting the computer to the phone and phone to the wall) you should experience no change at all. If you do, talk to your IT department and tell them to fire the networking team. The switches in your closet are most likely...

Verizon's software will not allow you to connect to the EVDO Network. You can use the automatically created dial-up access that dials *777 to access the network. Try connecting to the EVDO Network before connecting the LAN connection. You would probably need to bridge the connection in Windows...

I just wish my Java Based Expense Reporting system would be upgraded... can't print an ER to sign and send in with JRE 1.6 installed. Talk about bogus coding.

As a desktop tech, I've found Windows XP Hibernate to cause more problems than the amount of energy it saves. Given, our image designers still need to learn quite a bit about XP. This is why I will set my laptop to standby after 2 hrs. I have laptop users calling in with stories of how their...

Just a warning... Some apps require a certain major version of Java. You are fine to remove several versions of 1.6_x, but leave any 1.4_x and 1.5_x if you have them. Reason: Many developers built their code to check and require a certain version of Java. If it isn't found, the app will either...

One of my co-workers has one on his desk. I never knew what it was called. Nice piece of equipment. When I return to my office later this month, I'm going to have to relocate it to my desk.

broadbandreports.com / dslreports.com has some freebie tools you might take a look at.

I used to work in electronics retail. Here's the scoop... After rebates you get it for far less than cost. BBY and CC only mark up a small 1-5% just to cover the cost for transport. They make ALL of their money off of add-ons like anti-virus, memory upgrades and so on. Don't waste your time...

I feel for you already. I hate telling clients that the problem is not really related to what the initial thought was. I get to do that almost daily in my job. Luckily, I have a way with people and words and avoid getting my head chewed off most of the time. As for AOL... Load his PC with...

You wouldn't believe how powerful this utility is. I atteneded a Microsoft TechNet Training last week and they highlighted this feature. If a machine needs to be reimaged for some reason, the WIM process can back this info up then easily transfer the information back and restore the user's local...

I agree to avoid upgrades. With my experience of Vista, it forces you to do a clean install, even though you select upgrade. The nice thing is that it will copy the old OS information into a folder like Windows.OLD for easy migration and backup. My experience with Vista is ok... just don't...

Back in the day of PS, Bleem was the way to go. Bleem was a software emulator that read the PS games in a CD-ROM. Since then it has been deemed somewhat illegal. So for our sake I won't even look for any info on it.

I believe most drives are formatted FAT32. I'll usually convert them to NTFS right out of the box, the only exception being my new Seagate 500 GB External. I left it with whatever partition type it had since I didn't want to hunt down the software to turn off the darn yellow light. (Software...

If I'm guessing right... you're referring to the Seagate fiasco that was mostly contained and none of the drives reached U.S. soil. I have no fear. If you want to be safe, reformat the poor thing and keep an active Anti-Virus program. As for all of the other problems, I'm there with ya. Glad I...

First, take time to back up your personal and important info. If you don't have a method of doing this, find a local computer shop or chain store like CC or BBY and have them back your stuff up. Remember it's not cheap, but you know they will get it for you (if you tell them where to look)...

3 Computers currently in use: 1 Home Brew Desktop w/ Vista Ultimate, HP Laptop w/ XP Pro, Work Dell Laptop with XP Pro. I'll be adding my other 2 to the running as soon as I finish unpacking everything. I'll probably end up running a linux file server and set up my spare Dell as a make shift...

This is the fun part. I'm mostly certain that the phone has to support Verizon's protocols. More specifically it has to be CDMA, meaning Sprint, Cricket, Cincinnati Bell Wireless and so on will work. If the phone runs on GSM or the outdated TDMA (older cingular phones), I seriously doubt it will...

To turn this annoying feature off... Open Control Panel Click User Accounts Click User Accounts again Click Turn User Account Control On or Off Select Off There you have it! No more pesky questions if you really want to install something.
