    Eset NOD Smart Suite...anyone use it in a network?

    Well, actually, there are folks using WinXP and Vista as servers who are reporting the same general effects on the support forum -- from poor response all the way to lockups and spontaneous reboots. But my personal experience with it does concern the failures occurring only on very heavily...

    Eset NOD Smart Suite...anyone use it in a network?

    If any of your systems are servers I would hesitate to recommend either ESS or EAV (version 3 of NOD32) at the moment. I have been working with ESET since December on serious issues (loss of RDP sessions, DCs not responding to logon requests, poor-to-nonexistent share availability) that occurred...

    Outlook 2007 randomly hangs

    Good luck! I just looked Spambayes up. Sounds like it should be useful. I hope you get it sorted out.

    Outlook 2007 randomly hangs

    Did you use the "Go" button to open COM add-ins on that dialog so that you could uncheck some or all of the active add-ins for testing? NOTE: In Vista (don't know about WinXP) you have to run Outlook as an admin to be able to do this.

    Outlook 2007 randomly hangs

    If you look in Tools | Trust Center | Add-ins do you have any unusual add-ins listed? I've seen some screen capture utilities and some antivirus software which used plug-ins or add-ins for Outlook cause problems similar to the one you're reporting. You might disable them one-by-one to see if you...

    Dual Booting Vista and Ubuntu

    Yes, that is also another excellent possibility. Each method has advantages and disadvantages. Some disadvantages of using Virtualbox (or any other virtual machine environment) for Ubuntu would be slower performance (anywhere from negligible to horrendous, depending upon the host system's specs)...

    Dual Booting Vista and Ubuntu

    The only proviso I would add is that, with this method, there are certain situations where you can wind up with GRUB getting "lost" at boot time. This is because you change the physical drive order in the BIOS, but the OS is still smart enough to "know" the difference between, for instance, hd0...

    Dual Booting Vista and Ubuntu

    An alternative method would be to set the BIOS to use the 500 GB Vista drive as your primary boot device, and the 80 GB Ubuntu drive as secondary. When you turn on the system it'll automatically go to Vista. When you want to use Ubuntu you just invoke the boot menu at POST time (F12 key on many...

    What text editor do you use?

    NoteTab Pro For the bizarre and very wide range of things I do, it's supremely adaptable. And I just, you know, like it. I seem to get emotional about a text editor after taking the time to learn all of its facets. I still shed a tear once-in-a-while because I miss PC-Write (DOS).

    Quicken or MS Money

    I've been using personal finance software since Dollars & $ense on the Apple //e. Quicken and Money are really the worst examples of this type of software I've ever seen. 1. The more advanced any given feature on either of these pieces of crapware is, the more bugs it has. As mentioned by...

    XP Sp3 today on msdn?

    One "improvement" would be that, when you're doing a fresh installation of XP on some machine, you don't wind up downloading several hundred megabytes of security updates after the initial installation. There were a lot of updates to be applied after a clean WinXP SP2 installation. Unless...

    XP Sp3 today on msdn?

    The 545 MB file is the .iso (image) for producing the CD. The smaller file (roughly 330 MB) would be the admin download, which seems not to be available yet -- at least on TechNet.

    Microsoft Money free trial

    And, if you do decide to buy MSMoney, for pity's sake do not buy the downloadable version. of the software. Buy it on disc. Going through the ridiculous procedure to reinstall Money with the very peculiar way they handle the installation keys (in an attempt to extort more money from you so you...

    Microsoft Money free trial

    Be grateful that it doesn't work. Even when it does work it's just terrible software. So is Quicken. Use GnuCash. It's free. It's still incomplete and a little cobby in places. But at least you don't pay for lousy software and lousier customer service. And it is improving noticeably with...

    ROFL wtf.

    As I said, if you decide to go scorched earth on the creature, you should be able to win. I don't really see any point of pride in that. A human would have to outweigh it 5:1 even if if the human was a REALLY small adult. They don't really attack unless you're invading what they "consider" to be...

    ROFL wtf.

    Just a bit of additional information about how "harmless" geese are. Geese, whether wild or domestic, are capable of inflicting a great deal of harm on even a large human being. You can often get away with being aggressive with them under certain circumstances, but that doesn't mean you can...

    You'd think after being around for 12 years

    I'll just throw this out in case it might be helpful. Some USB keyboards have a "Function" key (F with a square around it, or some such) that changes the functionality of the function keys row on the keyboard. For whatever bizarre non-reason, all of them I've seen actually default to having...

    things which annoy you in Windows (98,XP, Vista...)

    I log off just with keystrokes. There are a couple of methods. If you set up your system to use the Ctrl-Alt-Del screen you can Ctrl-Alt-Del then use the down arrow (twice) and the Enter key to log off. Or you can just use the Windows key followed by three right arrows, two down arrows (or five...

    things which annoy you in Windows (98,XP, Vista...)

    Yeah, I'm not sure I even like using a Web interface for the Internet, much less for anything else. I'm getting danged tired of everything trying to look like a blasted browser. About the focus issues -- I think I'd call the way it's handled insanity, not just an issue. If I'm typing in...

    Network-Based Calendar Software?

    Just in case one of the other suggestions doesn't work out, you might have a look at Chandler. It's pretty weird, but it's also pretty amazing. I introduced a friend's company to this software a few months ago, and they are absolutely loving it. It's especially useful if you want some e-mail...

    Is there a Opensource Acrobat Reader Replacement for Windows XP and Vista?

    Just one further thought. If you really want Open Source Software for this purpose, then you might try installing GhostScript and GSView. GSView isn't exactly what I'd call a super deluxe PDF file viewer, but it IS actually OSS.

    XP Boot Logger

    Oh, ugh! Yeah, that changes things, doesn't it? Well, if you're going to be stuck doing long-distance maintenance for this friend, it might be a good idea to do something along the lines of what RebateMonger is suggesting, though there are many, many alternatives. Most, or all, of them...

    XP Boot Logger

    Yup, thepladfad is stating it the way I understand it. BOOTVIS was safe (kind of) to use prior to SP2 for XP. After application of SP2, no. Five minutes is a pretty long boot time. Did you install some new software (or hardware) on the system just before the boot time got to be so much...

    XP Boot Logger

    Well, such a thing DID exist. It was called BOOTVIS. I believe Microsoft stopped making it available because people were getting in to so much trouble with it. For some reason a lot of people didn't understand the multiple-boot procedure it went through when doing the analysis. They would think...

    Is there anything worthwhile to UAC in Vista?

    Here is a pretty decent basic writeup on UAC from a guy who knows his stuff (to say the least). It's worth a read. A lot of people out there are throwing a monkey wrench in the works by disabling UAC. Vista is the first secure Windows version that you can realistically run from a regular user...

    What are the general differences between Microsoft Office 2003 and Office 2007 (GUI interface, new features)?

    In addition to agreeing about the improved (IMO) quality of the user interface for the core apps (but not Outlook) and the new document formats, I'd say that Office 2007 applications are more robust and less crash-prone than the Office 2003 apps. This is especially true for me on WinXP. Haven't...

    freeware quickbooks equivalent?

    No love for GnuCash? It's got some rough edges, but it has come a long way. And it should definitely be able to do what she needs for her small business. It's available for Windows now, too. I was using it under Linux but am now using the latest version under Vista.

    Tee-Hee! Well, it's nice to know that they're consistent! Yeah, I'm just going off what one of the Unix admins here said. And, come to think of it, he has shown a tendency toward obliviousness-bordering-on-unconsciousness at times. I admire him for that. It's a trait I had to work hard to...

    Windows Small Business Server 2003 R2

    +1 Heh. I've never run into the truly awful problems I've read about, but I've seen a lot of truly weird behaviors from that software -- on Windows, that is. Seems to run okay on our Unix systems, though I don't admin them.

    Using a Laptop for Video Surveillance

    Should I make the switch?

    I'd just add that NOD32 was as good as it gets. Version 3, unfortunately, has some serious problems for some applications. On a standalone desktop / notebook system it's probably going to be okay. But we've had to yank it off of our production domain entirely. It was killing servers all over the...

    Using a Laptop for Video Surveillance

    A lot of people are very wrapped up in their own thoughts and activities. An extreme sense of entitlement combined with never having been taught to consider other people can cause folks to behave this way. In most cases it's a lack of maturation and perspective, not PTSD. breathing (even when...

    Using a Laptop for Video Surveillance

    Yeah, because not being able to cause other people to choke and suffer for your own enjoyment is some serious Nazi-like oppression. Godwin's Law for the win. As the world gets more crowded, people, in general, have to work just a little harder to get along with each other. That means letting...

    Anyone have any luck setting up something like gnuCash to do online accounts?

    My wife and I have been using personal financial software on PCs for almost 30 years, starting with stuff like Dollars & $ense on the Apple //e and going through various versions of Quicken and Money. Last year we got sick and tired of messing around with the pile of steaming dung that is the...
