Sometimes there are issues involved in the install and uninstall of beta and new software. I bypass all such issues simply by creating an image of my system with Acronis before installing, say, IE 8 Beta 2. If I decide to go back to IE6 on this particular PC, I'd then restore the machine itself to that stored image. Thereby avoiding all uninstall hassles altogether. I run SmartSyncPro everyday to back up Outlook, OutlookExpress, My Documents, Firefox profile and certain other folders. An Acronis image is created every other day besides. I generally keep in store the last three images. Plus the fall-back ones like that mentioned here. I cannot count the …

Hello! I have some minor appearance issues to which I cannot yet find an answer. I am posting here in the hope that some bored guru will stumble upon this post while I am off on Google looking for the answer. 1) I cannot turn off the "Stop USB Mass Storage Device" item in the system tray when restricted users are logged into a locked down 2000 TS. I have "Hide the notification area" checked under User Config > Admin Templates > Start Menu and Taskbar. I need to kill that so no end user can disable the USB backup drive on the TS. 2) Another thing I have Googled to death is trying to find a GPO setting to enable desktop icon auto arrange for all…

Recently, I selected the update, "SIS-Display-SIS 741", from the subject site and restarted my computer, running WindowsXP Home. At the end of the reboot, a pop-up titled "keyhook.exe - Entry Point Not Found". The enclosed text read: RealKeySting@CSISReg@SAHPAD0H0PAUHKEY__@@K@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library SISBase.dll. Microsoft's Download History indicated the update completed, I found "SIS-Display-SIS 741 in the Device Manager and diabled it. The pop-up error message repeated for several reboots. Finally, I enabled, SIS-Display-SIS 741. A search indicated Keyhook.exe" was located at C:\WINDOWS\system32. It was not readily av…

I have a friend who "heard" you can use the new Windows Vista email program "Mail" with a WinXP OS. Is that true?

SP 3's Warning: "The server you are connected to is uding a security certificate that cannot be verified" XP Pro SP3 With SP3 came this new warning: "The server you are connected to is using a security certificate that cannot be verified" How can I stop this warning! The server is an ATT IP server over which I have no control. Now every time I get email this appears. It is annoying. TIA for any or all thoughts and fixes. EagleOne

I really just want to have it in english.

I've searched Google Groups and this newsgroup and can't find the answer to what should be a very simple problem. In my home network, when I view My Network Places, I see every available share on all computers on the network. I don't want to see all the shares available, I only want to see the computers on the network as I do in Windows 2000 and Vista. How can I change this behaviour? -- Posted via NewsDemon.com - Premium Uncensored Newsgroup Service ------->>>>>>http://www.NewsDemon.com<<<<<<------ Unlimited Access, Anonymous Accounts, Uncensored Broadband Access
