At my current day job, I work for a small technology start-up in La Jolla California. We offer web-based solutions for some of the nation’s top banks, and housing lenders. We also provide a database for “closing service” providers, so you can hire people like home inspectors, and exterminators at the best price when selling…

Image via Wikipedia I have been trying to track down a network issue I’ve been having at work for the last month and a half. It’s a real pain because it only happens once a week randomly, and it only lasts for 2 to 5 minutes. Since it’s so unpredictable, it’s nearly impossible to track…

When I started my current day job one of the things the IT department didn’t have was a decent monitoring system. They did have an external service that monitored the company websites, but nothing internally for monitoring servers for disk space, service, or CPU issues. To remedy that problem I decided to implement a really…

I think it was in 2006 I attended my first hacker convention in San Diego called Toorcon. It was pretty cool because the company I worked for at the time was a sponsor, so they paid for my admission in. I will never forget one of the guys that I saw there. Dude was bald…

A few years ago I came across a free web host provider, and have been using them ever since. Now, as some of you know, I have my own technology blog called Bauer-Power, and that is hosted on Blogger. I love Blogger because it’s easy and free. Plus it’s owned by Google, so that means that the…

Hey folks, Have you ever been completely annoyed by people asking you questions that they could have totally answered on their own? Most people don’t realize that a well formed web query is just as good as asking the right person the right question at the right time. Google, for most people, is just that…

So you don’t want to dole out the big bucks for some fancy smancy cd/dvd authoring suite just to burn cd’s and disk images? Or how about you don’t want the bloat from said suite? No it’s probably that you are just like me and a big cheapskate when it comes to buying software! Either…

Hello Boys and Girls, Commodore 64 here to bring you another horror story from binary-land. Lord knows I’ve been through hell and back with computers. Overheating CPUs, which were fixed by the cold of the winter outside my apt; crashing hard drives which were fixed or accessed by various means; faulty power supplies, which had…

Adam Pash covered this tiny app on LifeHacker a while back. This Resizeable goodness is ever so cleverly called resizeenable and it lets you resize system windows that you normally could not. You guys always seem to find what I am looking for before I’m looking for it! Thanks LifeHacker… Some of you may wonder…

Is it just me, or does the wireless part of this crash for everyone? I have tried it a few times, and everything works except the wireless. I get an error and something goes off to Microsoft.

What is your OS, Service Pack and what is the exact error?

Hi,
Checking with the “Wireless Migrator” author website, it seems that the tool can only be used on a Vista machine. he says an XP version should be available in the future…
meanwhile you can use the exported text file that lists all the saved networks & keys to be manually setup as needed.
Cheers,

Windows XP SP1, and I will go try it again. I get an error that sends itself to MS. I will see what it says and try to copy it later this evening.

Joe – read Yaron’s answer above and make sure to upgrade that SP1 to SP3 – like now! There is impending doom via a virus attack geared towards machines like yours…. Tomorrow!

If only it were that easy! That machine is wacky 15 different ways. I have a C drive that reports as a wireless device, and so does my backup drive. I am trying to install Windows on the third HDD, but I can’t seem to copy the windows registration info from the existing HDD to the new one. The new drive has SP2 on the CD. Maybe that is the problem. And then, just because it is not a big enough mess, when I boot to the new HDD where I am installing Windows, I have 2 installations there to chose from. I am probably going to nuke the drive (which was my newsgroups harvest drive) and do a clean install. The warden says she only cares about her documents. I will burn a few DVDs tonight, and then nuke the whole thing. Argh!

Clean install of Windows XP SP 3 will do what you want Joe! Good luck and let us know how it goes.
