Guest Bill in Co. Posted January 6, 2008 Posted January 6, 2008 Re: Yikes and yowsers I have or will have a sign on my door: Vista, "access denied"!!! I figure it's bad enough I'm getting another system now (Dell) with WinXP! (I figure almost had to, as OEMs like Dell are running out of time for that option anymore, and most don't even offer it anymore). My biggest fear at this point is: how on earth I'm gonna be able to do my DOS-based recovery techniques should Windows ever really get screwed up. And now having to depend on Dell's (somewhat limited) "restore" or "recovery" disks, and their limitations. Egads... I don't like being at the hands of the OEM, and their own strange disks and limited techniques for this. Hmmm. Maybe I should make it FAT32? Nah, better not... That's probably being overly worried about this? I've even thought of going out and buying the full WinXP Home from MS, so I can do things my own way, and not have to depend on whatever Dell (or for that matter, any other OEM), leaves me/us.

Guest Gary S. Terhune Posted January 8, 2008 Posted January 8, 2008 Re: Yikes and yowsers OK, my bad in not checking your headers... But you aren't apparently posting directly to the MS servers: NNTP-Posting-Host: cpe-58-166-223-93.wa.bigpond.net.au 58.166.223.93 There is apparently a disparity in the synchronization of your posting host and the MS servers that actually host these NGs. Don't ask me to explain it in detail -- that was gone over in absolutely gory detail not too long ago (surprised that thread isn't still alive.) Not saying whether it's on the MS or BP end, but someone is dropping the ball when it comes to getting your posts to the MS servers. -- Gary S.
