 ATI openGL Drivers, Second Life and Vista. What a shame!
This is not an article. This is only another nth blog to exhaust ATI and convince them to release a ?&%&% openGL Vista compatible driver... ;-) We're talking about ATI. Not of a small, unknown Korean hardware company.For some more details on this issue, please, pick an article randomly among the tons available on this issue.I suggest this one from Kelly Adams, another guy a little bit angry with ATI....In the meanwhile, appreciate the fabolous 3D effect of Linden  Leggi tutto il post...

Live Mail (Desktop) Beta: a wonderful surpriseI must be honest.I don't appreciate too much the Microsoft "live" product line....On average, the products seem lower than the competitor's ones.Less functions, poor setting abilities etc....More and less the same sensation that new Vista sidebar users' feel, if they've been using the marvelous and free, Desktop Sidebar for XP.In Italy we use an example that's everywhere understandable: switching car model, from Ferrari to Fiat.From the best to the fair...

Widcomm BT Drivers on VistaI didn't mean to suffer so much, this morning (January the 2th), when, still in bed, I pushed by mistake the Blue Tooth button on my Acer Aspire Laptop (Broadcom 2045 USB 2.0 with Widcomm drivers).I tried, some times ago, to make BT work with the native Vista Drivers, and it was a failure.The rough BT Vista interface is the same of XP, so user can't appropriately control services and devices features.Casually, there was over my bed, together with my dogs and my lapt Leggi tutto il post...

Offlines Files deleted but still visible on a Vista mapped folderThe New year starts with an issue that involves offline files stored on a Vista mapped folder.The problem can occurr if you use this Technet source magic workaround or this one (with the use of symbolic links feature) by Attila Megyeri. The goal of both is to move the offline files cache to a different path/position.My "informal lab" ;-) is built around two machines, a desktop and a notebook, both running Windows Vista Ultimate 6000 (RTM), and a common folder ( Leggi tutto il post...

Merlin VMC Card and Virtual PCThe environment is Vista Ultimate RTM as Host Os and XP PRO SP2 as Guest.Thanks to Exertrack workarounds posted on "Solved! Windows Vista and Vodafone 3G" and to the marvelous MWConn app, that works to me better and lighter than Vodafone Mobile Connect software, the problem to connect a Vista Notebook to the most reliable UMTS service (at least in Italy) seems, for the moment, resolved.For "academic" curiosity, nevertheless, I tried to install VMC Software (VMC 4.02.0006) in a Win Leggi tutto il post...

Bad News for the ones intentioned to use MS OneCare as a Virus/Worm barrier for a Guest OS managed through Virtual PC 2007 on Vista Host.The Issue concernes the Virtual Network Adapter. After the Virtual Machine Reboot (Guest OS, in this case, Windows XP PRO SP2....but the same strange event happened also with Ubuntu Linux install and, obviously, no OneCare in it), the IP Address of the Network Adapter reports a strange IP Address (from an unknown DHCP source) surely not present in a Leggi tutto il post...

An Issue with Vista Network Bridge Avoid WET from WorkingIf you're on a Lan and you try to transfer file and setting using the marvellous and comfortable tool "Windows Easy Transfer", be sure that the machines involved in this action are not part of a Network Bridge.During the acknoledgment phase, with the key exchange between the two PC involved, the system hangs and the machines can't communicate.So, delete the bridge for the time WET needs to transfer infos, and then rebuild it....If, by chance, you find some more evoluted solutions, let me kn Leggi tutto il post...
