Re: [H] Really foggy here.
Jaime, I did convert most of my client's SAVE locations. Not done yet. Yes, [saving to disk?], is what my original rant was about. I DO care for where XP chooses to PUT my stuff. I guess I expect XP to over-ride "other" choices. I am still learning that this may not be true. OK. I learn, or, I fail! I do not see this as ephemeral at all. I choose not to go there. Not psychological. I think this is a simple 1's/0's issue. And, My Bad. I think I have now focused my clients a bit more locally. I will watch their behavior.

Re: [H] Question on managed switches
It seems unlikely that one machine could consume all backplane bandwidth, even on cheap unmanaged switches. Most all modern switches I've seen have "non-blocking backplane bandwidth", which means that every port can be transmitting and receiving at full bandwidth at the same time without performance degradation. > -Original Message- > From: hardware-boun...@hardwaregroup.com [mailto:hardware- > boun...@hardwaregroup.com] On Behalf Of Thane Sherrington > Sent: Wednesday, July 14, 2010 11:30 AM > To: hardware@hardwaregroup.com > Subject: [H] Question on managed switches > > I'm looking for a durable, 24 port switch, and I'm thinking I should go > managed so that I can set some of the ports to have guaranteed amount of > bandwidth because occasionally a machine of lower importance will go nuts > and grab all the bandwidth on my current unmanaged switch (at least, that's > what appears to be > happening.)

Re: [H] Question on managed switches
OK. Even though my switches MAY be a f/w revision behind, I still will suggest the PowerConnect 2724 to you. With Switches, if they ain't broke, I don't fix them :) Mine work completely invisibly at 10base1000. No problems logged. JMHO.

Re: [H] Really foggy here.
Thane, Well NO. It is NOT so much an OPEN business; though NOW IT IS. Never was, til now (Foxit V4, I suspect). Foxit always popped up and opened whatever online PDF. And I could SAVE TO, PRINT, or whatever. This may suck. I have already updated all of my LAN clients to V4 Foxit! This addy really likes Foxit! NOW, I get a non-visible window that I have no idea what just took place, and I am done. But, I also suspect what/where the PDF went. XP seems to not like Foxit alot. JMHO. Yes, I do find IT/them. IT/Them end up RIGHT where I wish to change. I suspect USER stupid. JMHO. You always ask good questions. BTW, "Save Link As" rarely if ever pops up or works! Perhaps another XP switch. Just do not know. Still happy with XP. It is very solid! Best, Duncan On 07/14/2010 13:22, Thane Sherrington wrote: At 02:11 PM 14/07/2010, DSinc wrote: I use XP pro. Sorry!

Re: [H] Program install help
Gary, SEARCH for anything /Adobe/. Delete all. SEARCH for anything /Acrobat/. Delete all. That should cover upstairs. Your choice :) Now do the 'above' in your Registry. Adobe can be really hard to kill and re-comply with your chosen install. It has a mind of its' own. And why I do not use Adobe any more. Just me perhaps! Yes, I understand you are trying to "re-install" acrobat. Adobe is really nasty to drive. JMHO.

Problem is that's not true as I have deleted the files so there must be a registry that is stopping the install. Any idea what/where key that should be deleted to allow installation?

I recall that they do offer a 2724 switch also. They initially come /Not Managed/, but making them /managed/ is not a big deal per the enclosed directions. So far, this pair of switches have been solid in a /Not Managed/ mode. Solid here. I look elsewhere for suspect network (LAN) glitches. JMHO.
