Windows Update fails after XP SP3 installed
This problem occurs when the latest Windows Update client has been installed and then you install Windows XP SP3 before restarting the computer. This causes the new Wups2.dll file not to be enabled (registered). When Windows XP SP3 is installed, it does not detect the Wups2.dll file, and it sets the registry to point to the original Wups.dll file version that is included in Windows XP SP2 and Windows...

After over a month of trying to get my Xbox 360 repaired/shipped/returned, it has finally arrived home. I have been without the thing for over a month...uggh!! It took almost 4 weeks just for Microsoft to get the Xbox 360 due to them not being able to ship or email me a pre-paid label. However, after 7.5 hours on the phone and 11 different case numbers with them...I am pleased to say it arrived on...

The Mojave Experiment
The Mojave Experiment I love the whole concept of this experiment. I personally really like Vista...but I know a lot of people who do not. Aside from that...I want to talk about the website itself. I love it. The way you can scroll the individual videos is simply amazing. One of the best and coolest websites I have visited in a long time. Nice work. Check it out: http://www.mojaveexperiment.com

My XBOX 360 - Still out for Repair

Google Chrome...based on Safari 3.1
So, looking through the docs...I find this: "If you've tested your website with Safari 3.1 then your site should already work well on Google Chrome." What the crap! Time to uninstall! I thought this was a browser that Google designed..."A Fresh take on the browser"
Google Chrome...more features I like
I really like the simplistic toolbar design...very nice. I like the "Waiting for page..." at the bottom left of the window. I like the "Aw Snap" when something goes wrong with the page you are viewing. Adobe did load, finally... Pretty impressed with it right now... I have been playing around with Maxthon2...which is good, very good. However, I will use Google Chrome for sometime...
Google Chrome
Nice so far... Adobe Flash won't install though...I had the same issue with Vista and IE7...so I think it's just a matter of running it as an Admin. More of an Adobe Fault than a Google Chrome fault. The speed is nice with Chrome. My main thing is how does myITforum look with Chrome and how does the redesigned look of myITforum.com look with Chrome. Both look great! More updates later. I still...

Hyper-V WMI: What VHD’s/Physical Disks Are Associated With a Virtual Machine? - by Taylor Brown
Very handy script by Taylor Brown I got a great question based on yesterday’s post (by the way my e-mail was blocking a lot of external messages that’s fixed now so I apologize to anyone I missed a mail from).
