It's not nice to do. A better way is to upload your images to a web server (if you don't have a website, there are a number of free ones available) and provide a link in your post.

Both of windows update and office update can be found on www.microsoft.com[^]. - Try to check the your anti virus application, whether it has update its virus definition. Or check its website to see some new virus that always appear everyday. - If there is error message appear, try to note it and check it in the internet to find the solution.

It will analyze the critical files used by Windows and prompt you to insert the CD to replace damaged files with fresh copies. I'm not sure if it is reliable after you have made a number of changes via patches and service packs, but it's worth a try.

Another of my favorites is that I am constantly reminded, now that I have installed Windows XP SP2 and turned off Micro$oft's firewall, that my machine is in danger because Micro$oft could not detect a firewall. Mind you that I have a firewall installed that is superior to Micro$oft's embedded firewall because it also filters outgoing internet transmissions. When I disabled the firewall detection mechanism in the much acclaimed security center Micro$oft took it upon themselves to constantly remind me that my machine was in danger because I was not monitoring for a firewall even though I had made the conscious decision to disable their fledgling firewall in favor of a more mature product that is more in line with contemporary firewall standards. By the way the firewall that Micro$oft refuses to recognize is a mainstream security product vendors firewall and not a dreaded, in Micro$oft's opinion, open source interloper. This baloon poped up so frequently that I disabled Micro$ofts Security Center service so I would not be constantly bombarded with what is basically marketing information. What Micro$oft is saying is that I should be using Micro$oft products, even if they are inferior, or they will annoy me to the point of distraction. If anyone knows the registry setting I need to change to disable popup balloons please let me know. Re: annoying popup balloons Mekong River24-Sep-04 4:24 Mekong River 24-Sep-04 4:24  What you should know is the way tha winxp sp2 work with firewall. The second step is knowing what is the function of firewall that third party vendor will work in windows environment. Microsoft is not open source code OS, I think it is very difficult for your to discover about that. Because Microsoft hidden some secret of information to the general user, you should use Ms software to implement in your environment. But if you really hate Microsoft, may be linux is the best choice for you. For me, I still use Ms and Linux in my home. A thousand mile of journey, begin with the first step. APO-CEDC Save Children Norway-Cambodia Office Re: annoying popup balloons Matt Newman24-Sep-04 7:23 Matt Newman 24-Sep-04 7:23  All you have to do is open the Security Center, click recommendations under firewall section and check the box that says I have a firewall solution i'll monitor myself etc etc. Before you go bitching about how evil Microsoft is you should look and then post a polite post. Micro$oft does not gain you any credibility. Matt Newman ...armed with what? spitballs!? - Zell Miller Re: annoying popup balloons JimmyRopes24-Sep-04 7:50 JimmyRopes 24-Sep-04 7:50  My question is not about the WinXP security center but how to turn off the annoying popup baloons. I admit that I rant about Micro$oft but I am used to working on proifessional systems like IBM, Sun, DEC, HP, UNIX, Data General, etc. The one thing that they have in common that Micro$oft still hasn't figured out how to do consistantly is test their software before they release it. But there I go on another rant. Re: annoying popup balloons WoutL29-Sep-04 3:25 WoutL 29-Sep-04 3:25  Why don't you just stop with using WinXP??? The regsetting you are looking for is: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\EnableBalloonTips It must be a DWORD value. The value should be 0 for no balloons. Wout Louwers Re: annoying popup balloons JimmyRopes29-Sep-04 16:59 JimmyRopes 29-Sep-04 16:59  Thank you very much. I remember reading about this setting in a newspaper article last March but it was on a train and I forgot what setting it was when I returned home. As to why don't I just stop using WinXP. I use WinXP as well as other Micro$oft products because I make a living working as a consultant in the computer industry and a lot of my clients use Micro$oft products. In the past I had a lot of clients using IBM mainframe products but times change and I need to keep up with current trends. I guess you can say that I work with Micro$oft products for similar reasons that Willie Horton responded as he did to the queasion as to why he robbed banks, "[because] that is where the money is". Micro$oft users make up the lions share of my potential customer base (read that is where the money is). stopping Micro$oft solicitation JimmyRopes23-Sep-04 19:55 JimmyRopes 23-Sep-04 19:55  Does anyone know how to prevent the dialog from popping up that asks for you to send debug information to Micro$oft for every program failure on Windows XP? It is shameless that Micro$oft not only releases software that is not throughly tested in the first place but to add insult to injury they want you to debug it for them gratis. I do not work for Micro$oft and will not spend time debugging faulty applications for them free of charge. Additionally there are privacy issues here if I send them information from my machine regardless of their stated privacy policy. What if the offending program does not belong to Micro$oft but has encountered a problem interfacing with Micro$oft software. Would it be right to provide Micro$oft with a binary image of a competitors product in a failure state? I think not. Enough of my ranting. If anyone knows how to disable this "feature" on Windows XP please let me know. I anticipate that there will be replies stating that I am basically doing the same thing as Micro$oft by asking for free advise. To answer those critics in advance I would like to point out the differences. This is a peer to peer forum and I am solicitating information that is freely shared by all interested parties, not just a special interest group. More importantly, I did not sell you software and then try to enlist you to debug it for me free of charge. Re: stopping Micro$oft solicitation Roger Wright23-Sep-04 20:08 Roger Wright 23-Sep-04 20:08  Don't worry - no one at Microsoft is looking at what you send them. At least that's how it appears to me, as no fix has ever resulted from it that I know of. At first I thought, "Cool! They really care!" But after responding thousands of times nothing ever got resolved, so now I gleefully click with gay abandon, doing my small part to contribute to the worldwide DoS attack they've solicited. "My kid was Inmate of the Month at Adobe Mountain Juvenile Corrections Center" - Bumper Sticker in Bullhead City Re: stopping Micro$oft solicitation Mekong River24-Sep-04 4:17 Mekong River 24-Sep-04 4:17  Try to check the information from here[^].

Whether or not you agree with that goal, the number of bugs that make it into released software will depend on the financial impact of those bugs. Does this crash happen only in extreme scenarios? Is it worth the time to track it down? How many customers will be affected by this bug? Are they likely to be put off by this bug enough to switch to a competitor's product? Change some nouns and you'll realize it's exactly the same scenario as any other commercial venture. There is nothing shameless about it. JimmyRopes wrote: to add insult to injury they want you to debug it for them gratis. Congratulations on achieving bug-free software. I, myself, am not quite there yet, so when a customer calls me and tells me my app failed, I'm certainly glad most are willing to send crash dumps and data files so that I can fix the problem and improve their user experience.
