Well, if I have a Windows problem (quite common on my wife's work laptop) I always start by googling for "site:microsoft.com <problem>", so I would have met the first two you mention. I can only say that in my experience it is quite rare for anyone to offer sensible or helpful Windows advice without at the same time offering to run a "free" service to check your Registry, which turns out to cost $25 if you try to run it (after telling you that your Registry contains 573 errors). I'll try the third site you mention, maybe that will change my views. But at present I am firmly of the opinion that one is far more likely to get sensible advice (even about Windows problems) on Linux forums like this one. Of course, a Windows query on a Linux forum will lead to a lot of ranting, but one frequently gets an answer among the screams. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Colocation vs. Managed Hosting A question and answer guide to determining the best fit for your organization - today and in the future. http://p.sf.net/sfu/internap-sfd2d _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
