Happened to you too? It was the darnedest thing. And the funny part was that the Sleep feature worked for a little while after I ran disk clean up then stopped. So, what happened?
Okay as you might remember I did a nice clean install of Vista recently. One of the nice benefits of this route […]
Got that spiffy new (Windows) machine? Cool. Vista? Nice. Wait, what about your old one? Got stuff on there? Well as GHacks reminds us, Windows has some great migration tools on both XP and Vista:
It is possible to transfer the following information:
User Accounts
Folders and Files
System Settings
E-Mails and other personal […]
Part of the revamp of my home office was the APC laptop stand. This spiffy device also sports a nice 4 port USB 2.0 hub in the back. Great. Awesome, keep the cable clutter under control. Yeah, well not so much.
See starting late last week my laptop started having trouble. […]
If you’ve made the switch to Vista like I have, chances are you’ve run into issues. Installs that fail with strange errors (error 2739 and others) or you get something saying you don’t have permission to change a directory, abort or retry.
Both are tre annoying and don’t offer much help for a solution. […]
Clearly Vista users are rather miffed about Vista and battery life problems I almost feel like I should create a category just for this one issue.
Just yesterday I told you about turning off the Aero theme to give you a boost. But what if you like the Aero theme when you’re plugged in? […]
As I talked about last week, laptop users are complaining that Vista is draining their batteries much faster than XP ever did. The Aero features seem to be the culprit, but I’ve learned a bit more about Aero recently. It turns out that just turning off the fancy features isn’t enough, you have […]
How many of you use PDF? Good. Okay, how many of you have laptops? Lots I bet. Laptops are out selling desktops now so lots more out there than in the past. Did you know, however, that in Acrobat Reader the default font smoothing is for regular monitors? Yeah […]
There has been a bit of discussion about Vista and laptops lately. The big gripe is that battery life takes a major hit.
I believe that the myth of Vista using more battery life came from the first people that installed it in their machine and did not configure properly the Power profiles. And a proof […]
Man I’ve been dying to blog about this for over a month. I’ve been in the private beta test of the new MindManager 7 Pro. If you’re a MM fan, this is a good upgrade. Must upgrade? If you use Office 2007, I’d say yeah.
The new MM 7 Pro is officially coming out May 30. […]
That’s the premise of an article on InformationWeek’s site. Do a head-to-head Unbuntu 7.0.4 (Feisty Fawn) vs Vista. Install, applications, basic stuff we all do.
The test covered three different kinds of machines from a laptop to a desktop to a VM install. Bottom line? Ubuntu was close, but …
There is always that “but” isn’t there? […]
