This is a bit of an unusual question, but here it goes: Been using OpenSuSE 10.1 on my work PC, and have been very happy with it. The thing is that one of the applications I need to run on it (the WindRiver Workbench environment) is officially supported only on Enterprise distributions like Red...

(Sorry for the somewhat cumbersome title) Got Windows XP running on my primary HD, and I use my older HD for file backup (both NTFS). My backups run automatically at nights (basically using file copying). Now I want to turn the older HD to be Linux based (entirely), and boot from it. Yet, I...

Hey folks. Thought of replacing the Windows automatic updates with batch utilities that will give me more control of the timing of the updates. Autopatcher seems like a good solution for this purpose. Found some older threads discussing this, but they seem to be a bit out of date, so I would...

Hi, Asked this question in the Windows defender/OneCare thread, but thought it should have its own thread. So here it is again: Been using Spybot S&D for quite some time, and been generally happy with it. How would you compare it to Windows Defender? Do you recommend me to switch to WD? Maybe...

Hi, My work PC has the default C$ share for C drive. I have too many reasons not to allow that. When I want to cancel this share, it tells me that the server service always creates this share when restarted. Is there any way to prevent this? D.

Hi, Got this Disk on key I got as a present (can't really tell the brand), which worked fine up until recently. Now, when I plug it in my PC's USB (and other PCs as well), it's not even detected. Anything I should do before I scrap it? D.

Hi folks, Got this very weird problem I hope you can help me with: Got a PC (running WinXP SP2) connected to an Alcatel ADSL router. I Also use the ZoneAlarm Firewall. The other day I upgraded ZA's version (something I do all the time), and suddenly my PC wouldn't receive an IP address from...

Hi there folks. This question may somehow be related to this forum. I plan to buy an LCD display (round 20") that should serve both as TV and PC monitor; meaning I want to connect it to my PC and to my satellite box. Now, I know I can purchase a TV card, connect my sat box to its input, and...

Hi, This might be a bit long but please bear with me: I have a PC at work on which I need to run some tests from time to time. As some of these tests may fail, or finish ahead of time (when I'm not at work), I would like to be able to connect to my PC from home to check the status of these...

Hey folks, Got this problem on my work PC: Defined Maxthon as my default browser (and it is, as typing an http address from the start->Run box opens it), but when I open web links from some of the apps (Notes, Copernic Agent), IE pops up instead. OS is Win2K. Any ideas? D.

Hi, As someone who has many contacts in both MSN & ICQ networks, I tend to use "multi network" proggies such as Trilian or IM2. Used Trilian in the past, but hated its interface, so I moved to IM2 as soon as I heard of it. It's a real nice app, with a simpler interface (has the MSN feel). It's...

Hi there, Been trying to setup an FTP server on my PC, without success. here's the info: - FTP server: GuildFTPd 0.999.13. Passive mode properly configured to my WAN address. - Router: Alcatel Speedtouch 510. - OS: XP, no SP (thank god). - No firewall running (when trying this). - Did port...
