services

Live and learn..

I went into msconfig and started unchecking some of the services. Upon my next boot, guess what... it wouldnt boot. hehehe No big deal, you can always recover. During the boot process if you keep hitting F5 until you get the menu screen, you can choose "boot unto last known good configuration" and all will be good. Just remember to change anything that you changed before.

I never played with it some more to figure out what exactly was stopping the boot, but I figure it was some of the "remote services". Anyways, the moral of this story is that even if you uncheck the incorrect service, you can recover. So why not make it a learning experience.
 
Now that's really cool. Thanks for that tip. I probably will end up having to use that sooner or later with my, "can't keep my hands off of shit" nature! Heh heh.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
