Did you try goin directly to microsoft??

And why would you want sp1a? Sp3a is the last released.....

newsposter

Can anyone cogently explain the differences between these two? Are they one in the same thing? Are they somehow linked in functionality; i.e. does the Gadget Platform depend on Sidebar for anything?

Pointers to on-line docs appreciated.

thanks

thanks!!

Ok, for the idiots among us (mostly me)....

Is it necessary to install both 32 and 64 bit flash or do the 64 bit packages cover all the bases?

The targeted system is win7/64 but the browsers (Opera/Firefox and MSIE) are 32 bit.

Does anyone have a link collection for the official/current MSFT DX installers?

thanks

I hope I've got this sequence right, it's been a while since I refreshed my XP distro. a) Take a fresh, unmangled XP distro, preferably a legit MSFT-hologrammed CD. b) Dump the contents of that CD to a directory on your PC. Copy everything, don't manually delete or change anything. c) From a command...

newsposter

And..... when looking to buy a legit hologram-ed XP disk, you need to be careful about what kind of license the disk is set up to run on. There are ways to swizzle a distro to work with different licenses. But you're probably violating the EULA and may 'break/ the distro so that the slimming tools w...

Scuttlebutt elsewhere says that part of Nuhis contract with MSFT required that he cease dev of nlite.

Things like this are happening more and more with 'new' XP users. People (noobs?) trip across long-discredited snake oil and resurrect the 'knowledge' without fully researching things.

I'd prefer to wait until Adobe gets through their first months work of bug and security fixes.

Maybe in the Nov or Dec pack update.

Most of the Office and Win7 technet ISOs were also (quietly) updated in the last three weeks.

You can also try pulling back your double click speed in control panel|mouse

And the start menu behavior you aren't quite used to yet is also configurable.

Ah well.

O2010 SP1 is supposed to be available to Technet at the end of June. I suppose I can wait another 7 weeks for an updated installer........

newsposter

This is supposed to be a packaged cumulative update for April 2010.

Has anyone found a download link? All I can find is blah blah blah but no d/ls.....

thanks

The prio service is pretty much only for silent elevations in Vista. I load/run prio on win7 and server 2008 without the service. The additional tcpip tab in task manager is very useful.

newsposter

considering how 'critical' archivers are to most peoples work, it might be a good idea to wait a day or two to let Igor have a chance to load the new source code and installers to his Sourceforge site.

yup, using symlinks to shift the position of users takes about a gnatstail worth of time and maintains the expected c:whatever file path structures. It's also worth noting that with ntfs you can format a disk and 'mount' it as a direct directory path without a drive letter. Plenty of ways to do this...

It is NOT GOOD PRACTICE (and kind of rude) post your own derivative work in other peoples threads.

Start your own. And don't forget to credit the people whose work you are borrowing.

newsposter

No 'questions' in the seven months from the first post.......

newsposter

Some of this is almost to be expected with XP slipping deeper into legacy and drawdown support status.

I can well imagine that MSFT has their best & brightest working on Win7, Server 2008R2, and new products which the outsourcers or noobs are put onto babysitting XP.

pretty quick..... thanks!

Rica, please ALWAYS get permission BEFORE posting previously private server links.

always better to download OS components DIRECTLY from the makers source instead of intermediate 'repositories'.

please check before you post.......

msft pulled all of the d/l links for the Win7/Server2008 SP1 beta last Friday.

Uncorroborated chatter on TechNet speculates that SP1 may be released on one of the next three Tuesdays in sync with the usual msft Tuesday release practices.

newsposter

great. I'll assume that the hotfix list is accurate for the most recent msft release of the WMP 11 installer.

Does anyone have a direct-from-msft download link for KB9786956??

And would kb975558 be an OS level patch or a WMP patch?

How much hand-wringing are you going to do to 'save' 5 GB when 500 Gb drives cost U$50-?

In some cases, old attitudes as well as old equipment needs to be thrown out.
