Until it breaks.... From experience, I'd never recommend a Mac Mini is used for anything mission critical. Disk in a Mac Mini as standard are only 5400rpm is just one example of why not. Need a second nic or add in card for some reason, just install one. Oh wait, that won't work.. Great little...

I'd be considering O365 hosted email as well, integrates nicely without Outlook for Mac or built in mail client and will work great through the web and with mobile devices. Depending on the number of users in the office / client I'd possibly be advising he cancel the order for the Mac Mini...

Thanks guys, so vCloud would be the ideal environment and is essentially an off the shelf solution for self service provisioning? vCloud looks pretty steep on pricing for managed VMs. For lower cost, as I say we already have vCenter licence (and so orchestrator), and as this is for our test...

I'm looking to setup a self service portal for VM provisioning. I've read that this might be possible with VMware Orchestrator and since we already have a vcenter licence this might be ideal. I'm also considering a more custom setup with a PHP form translating to a script to run against vcenter...

Is it even possible to get an application to run at kernel level in Windows? Thought the kernel was supposed to be pretty much inaccessable in Vista and XP.

Vista 32bit and 64bit. Ultimate, Business and HP. Reinstalled the computers several times. I'll see if I can flash one of the drives maybe that will fix it.

Been having this irritating problem on several computers, home and work. Basically Vista remembers the last disk that was in the room drive. Takes a reboot for my computer to show the drive as being empty. Also been having a lot of problems with Vista showing burnt cd's and dvd's as being...

I've been playing around with ghosting machines and want to know if I'm likely to encounter any SID problems. At the moment what I've been doing is building the machine on the domain just the same as I would if I wasn't going to ghost it. Then to ghost it I unplug the network cable, change it...

I'll just assume your not breaking any copyrights with this one. What codec you need will depend on what you used to encode it. Try the xvid codec to start with theres a good chance it might be what you used. Install VLC player to play the file.

Windows desktop search is an Optional update.

From what I've read all so called home user edition of windows XP home, pro, all versions of Vista and 2000. Fall under the requirement that you need one licence per running instance. For servers you get 4 virtual licenses included in your physical machine licence. So if you have a server...

You could try writing a batchfile that will check if the version installed is greater than the version on the network drive. Then stick it in the startup folder for all users.

OK, Vista 64 is set to use Internet Explorer 7 32-bit as default and Media Player 32-bit as default. I'm looking for an easy way to set everything to run native 64-bit. Anyone know all which apps are set to default to 32-bit and an easy way to change them over. Yes I know there will be...

I think CF is probably faster but in the real world you won't notice any real difference. More RAM is always good if your gonna be spending money but readyboost is different to superfetch. From what I understand superfetch will preload apps into RAM for use, whereas readyboost will load some of...

I bought Vista because I work in IT and I figured I'm going to have to check out this new OS that everyone’s going to be using, I put Vista on my media centre machine because I got a free copy of it from the Dell upgrade scheme and thought why not. Advantages that I see: Navigation...

i ran windirstat, I am referring to the Vista install as I said, my games and apps that i have installed take up approximately 15GB, everything else is windows. I understand that it will be system restore and volume shadow copy. Just never realised it would be so much. Windirstat showed 19GB...

I'm curious, 12 GB or therabouts after initial install. My Vista install has swelled to around 40 GB. If I minus around 15 GB for any programs and games I have installed, whats it all being used for. Anyone else experiencing the same thing?

Yup, I believe its under, security settings, local policies, security options, then edit the message text for users logging on.

No not always, however windows prefers to be C. Windows being anything other than C can cause a lot of problems.

Just realised I didn't actually answer your question. Oops. Stick with Vista, have you played around with hibernate, maby it will cut some of the boot times your seeing. Just remember and do a full reboot every now and then.

My boot time is way faster now that I've switched to Vista and I love that as soon as I enter my password and the desktop loads everything is usable right away. No having to wait for minutes for everything to finish loading. From the time I first see the desktop I can immediatly enter the start...

Should work, Virtual PC 2007 officially supports Vista as both host and guest.

Does anyone know how this works. I've found plenty of info from a white paper Microsoft released last year of licensing its server products in a virtual machine environment. I want to know what the licensing situation is with XP and Vista, do I need a license for every instance running, virtual...

At work we use Hornbill's Support works. Works very well IMHO.

Natively? What do you mean by that? 1. Backup drive 2. Put drive in new machine. 3. Install Vista (don't enter serial). When installing Vista format your hard drive at the provided. 4. Boot from Vista cd again and this time select upgrade and enter the serial when asked. At least I...

Just call the cops, if he's cracking your encryption he deserves to be in jail.

I've no doubts you could do this easily however i don't think it would be very comfortable for him working. I would expect a lot of lag, especially with a program that has lots of graphic movement on the display. The issue of there being big files would not be relevant as they would most likey...

I would think what your looking to do would be to set up a small domain using either server 2003 or Small Business Server. I think SBS would be more straight forward. You create a user for each person you need. Create each user a folder and map it as their H drive or whatever. Change the...

I have to say I'm actually seriously impressed with Vista. Practically an unattended install. Downloading all needed drivers via windows update and so far the only apps I've had any problem whatsoever with was trying to find a good free 64bit antivirus.

Can anyone recommend me a program to repair corrupt excel files. Thanks

Delete me

Ok I think you got two ways to go on this. You could have the 150 as your OS, games and page file drive or you could have the 150 for your OS, games and a seperate drive for your page file (A 150 raptor preferably). The second option would give you slightly better performance but a is more...

Google is your friend. As far as I know Microsoft won't replace your disk for you and i'd imagine they'd charge if they did. Home is perfectly fine for gaming. As for features.

Whats the purpose of your cloning are you trying to move your installation to the second hard drive and still be able to access the first. Are you trying to mirror the drives for redundancy. Might be able to help with some more information.

Another vote for AVG free or NOD32. Personally I user AVG free on all my systems and can't speak highly enough of it. I've used NOD32 as well its just as good if you're one of those folks who believe it must be better if it costs more. Also, consumer Norton is absolute crap, as posted by...

From what i've read the 150 is 2x 75 GB platters and the 74 is 2x 37 GB platters

Dunno about a big difference but the 150's will definitely be a bit faster because of the higher density platter. The 74 is essentially the same drive that was released back in 2004 but with 16 MB cash, support for NCQ and a SATA interface.

Yes you can still do that.

I can't believe you got is so cheap in the states. In the UK its £350 for Vista Ultimate £130 for an OEM copy. Thats near $680 and $250

Dell, bought a new computer from them a couple of months ago and it had the software for 5 ISP's preinstalled, and all the other crap that it had on their a new computer and it takes like 5 minutes to boot up. I feel sorry for the people out there who don't know how to do anything about it.
