BSOD should be the default screensaver. :tongue:

no known dial-a-fix for vista or 7. your boot cd may allow some sort of repair. also, you might have to try to start services manually and watch the logs and dependencies to hack out your solution. you may even have to re-register some dll's using regsvr32. sorry i can't help any more than that.

Do you use XP? These are for XP only: This .reg file would set default services back to their original settings. Also, I would suggest finding "Dial-a-Fix".

had the in-place distro upgrade since alpha. no problems except with an update or two, but further updates resolved the issue. I see no difference first hand from 10.04 to 10.10, but then again i dont have a touch screen either.

maybe C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\lmhosts

When you say "slight changes" do you mean to the actual code? I think you can lock and hide the code. although password protecting your code could easily be cracked. There is such a thing as "obfuscating" your code.... and also such a thing as compiling your workbooks into EXE. (although...

@v4xde, running linux at home now... for XP you can consider, pctools.com's firewall. may have to set firewall to advanced/manual mode and hack around with settings. really i usually end up just using xp's built in firewall, but i have used pctool's firewall happily in the past.

boot a livecd of slitaz for speed. it will be faster than xubuntu, but i do like xubuntu. i have read than xubuntu's version of xfce actually uses slightly more memory than gnome, only because they modified it to have some gnome compatibilities -- otherwise xfce should be smaller and faster.

possibly reset (clear) all your firewall settings and start fresh... I'm unsure if zone alarm is better than it was about 4 years back, but due to massive fails upon uninstalling, i added it to my "i dont like it" list.

not answering your question, but interjecting some curiosities: are you a student doing this for a project? or are you a programmer hobbyist doing this for fun, or for a production environment? if production environment and no money for commercial programs, then i suggest searching...

Ubuntu for personal Desktop. Mint for any friends that I can convert. Red Hat/CentOS for enterprise servers.

if you just want to play with ubuntu (or any other OS), just run it under virtualbox. You can get a 4GB thumbdrive for $13 measly bucks at your local Big Lots if you have one and install it there as "slacker_" suggested in reply #20.

it allows you to setup a virtual private network between all computers you have it installed on. you can do any network interaction (file transfers, rdp, gaming, etc.) with computers in your network even if they are across the room, state, country, world. for your first ever installation, i...

Hamachi2 beta's available for OSX and Linux as of 5/19/2010. https://secure.logmein.com/US/labs/ (Hamachi is a very nice VPN service if you don't know) if you like it, please send LogMeIn feedback so that they can continue to develop for Linux / OSX.

I especially appreciate the Memory Ballooning. I was able to open multiple VM's today of which I could not previously on my 2GB windoze machine.
