Yes :) Indeed :) Despite this I am S glad I've moved to Linux though, it has taken a lot of headache out of somethings that Windows does which i don't like :( Also, I've found the files. I was playing around with Midnight Commander and found that the files were not gone afterall. I had mounted the folder on from the XP machine on the Linux machine using LinNeighborhood. Then moved the files over. They had not appeared on the XP machine. It turns out that a folder was created in the /mnt/XP/ folder and the files moved there! I've now managed to get them over, and I think it's time I sorted out some of the links and file shares across the network. Now a happier bunny.

[newbie] New Printer = bios error
Saw an HP PSC2175 printer/copier/scanner at a greatly reduced price, I expected a bit of a challenge getting it working in 9.1, but no, it was a no brainer to get printing and scanning working, the cardreader slots work as well- I can even read smartmedia from it. However if the printer is already on (nothing in the card slots BTW) and I try to boot the computer I get a post error where the boot process hangs at memory testing. I suspect there is something in my bios (Phoenix Award) that I need to change but I can't see it, also if I power up the printer while I am in bios setup the keyboard locks. I can live with it but if anybody's got any ideas I'd be please to hear them. -- http://www.poogle.co.uk Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

This is my fav part: Microsoft admits that, in some cases, malicious code could indeed switch the firewall off. However, this isn't so much a flaw as a limitation on the role firewalls should play in a company's security system, according to Microsoft. What??!!

Likewise, it is not the firewall's place to stop malicious code from sending outbound packets--... So what the fsck is it good for??!! LOL! Nice way to pass the buck *and* pay lip service to security at the same time! BTW, just had a client that had Norton 2004, fully updated, found no viruses. AVG? Found *nine* of them.

Of course, the MS bumboy Tim Mullen on SecurityFocus, has his usual fellatial praise for those incompetent boobs in Redmond: Now, even with these tremendous advancements in XP, [Huh??!!] some people are going out of there way to find fault with it, as they seem to do with all things Microsoft.

[I don't think I've ever seen that...] But now that the company has responded in a significant way, [with what, a firewall that doesn't work?!] it gets bad press for releasing a Service Pack that might break ISV applications. The truth here is that if an application breaks, it really did need fixing anyway. Ooooh, I see, it's the *application developers* fault for not bowing to MS and making their apps 'compatible' with this shite called a Service Pack.
