I just uninstalled Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2 because it constantly kept crashing. A good thing was that it was only crashing a single tab in IE8, but multiple tabs constantly kept crashing for no reason (to me at least). A new nice feature is colored...
Everyone who owns Vista knows UAC by now. Everyone also knows it's not smart to turn it off, but still a lot of people do so. It's not easy for Microsoft to make their customers happy, is it now?! ;-) Anyway, a smarter solution is something I...
I just blogged that I'll be switching back to Windows XP . One of the problems I forgot to mention is this one: I can't remember the time that my Windows XP gave me a Blue Screen Of Death (BSOD). On Windows Vista tonight was about my 15th time since I...
I've made my decision, I'm rolling back to Windows XP. I've been using Vista on my laptop on which I perform my daily work. Some problems I've come across: Visual Studio 2005 doesn't behave as I want it to, for example extreme slow startups It's very...
For some reason, a single project I'm working on wouldn't let the debugger attach to my IIS7 on Vista. I was completely clueless on why this was happening. Great thing is, the problem is solved, it now connects. The problem remaining is, that I'm still...
Just recently Service Pack 1 was released ( Beta! ) for Visual Studio 2005. Back then, the Vista update had a link, but it was removed. Miguel blogged that the beta version is online! This update is required because of the security enhancements to Windows...
Via Tim Sneath I've learned that you can start an elevated command prompt from the Start Menu. Press ctrl-esc to pull up the start menu, type in "cmd". cmd.exe is the command prompt. When it's visible, just press ctrl-shift-enter and it'll start up with...
And suddenly it's there... Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite SP1 (includes SP1 updates for Standard, Professional, and Team Editions of Visual Studio 2005) Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server SP1 Visual Studio 2005 Express Editions SP1 Visual Studio...
Ranting coming up, you might want to skip ;-) This is not actually a Vista problem, but a Windows problem. Why is the My Documents (or in Vista: Documents) folder so abused? Just take a look at what's in mine and note that I'm not actually saving my documents...
SQL Server 2005 problem solved. The ISO's I used were probably corrupted. I installed from cd and everything installed like a charm. I'm running SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition without problems now. Vista isn't the most stable OS I've had so far. I...
So I'm still running Vista and guess what... I got my first BSOD this morning! I can't remember the time I had this with WinXP. New default in Vista is sleep, instead of shutting down. So when you press your pow... *** ... power button, you computer ends...
So I'm running Windows Vista. And although it's running very smoothly itself, there are some problems. SQL Server 2005 won't install This is the weirdest one and I have no idea how to solve it. The server/service itself has installed, but client tools...
Last time, only 1000 keys were available. So everyone had to wait until the program opened up again. Good news, it's open again! And while Erwyn is away , who normally posts these kind of things , I took it upon me to tell you the news. Perhaps you want...
