Share your thoughts of this classic battle on my Buzz post, "The Great War of PC vs Mac".

  Have you run into this when copying over a large file from your hard drive to a flash drive?

 The answer is most likely simple, you need to have your flash drive formated as NTFS.

 Due to limitations of the FAT file system, you are unable to copy over anything larger than 4GB.

"ATI External Event Utility EXE Module stopped working and was closed."
(A problem caused the application to stop working correctly. Windows
will notify you if a solution is available)

This was a symptom of my Compaq Presario V5000 purchased from Wal-Mart in 2006.

This is caused when upgraded to Vista because the ATI Radeon Xpress 200M driver is not operating correctly. Windows is unable to update this automatically.

Resolution:

Create your own installer of a cluster of different programs that are must haves.

This is great if you rebuild your PC and you want to make sure you get your must haves back on quickly and painlessly.

• Chrome

Become root:

• $ su

Zip up the public_html:

• $ tar czvf iastage.tar.gz public_html/

Change owner to "user": (if pulling files)

• $ chown user:user iastage.tar.gz

Log in to new server and copy files, or push them from the old server.

Check out this great slide show by Emma Jane.

Unfortunately it is a thousand times better with her presenting. She is awesome.

My theory:

I tried to approach this issue by playing the role of the customer.

What we as Techs find:

• No message on screen
• No status
• No retracts
• In Logs you will find a M-Status 14 and a few M-Status 29's

Here’s something for broadband people that will really speed Firefox up:

1.Type “about:config” into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries:

network.http.pipelining network.http.proxy.pipelining network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.

2. Alter the entries as follows:

Set “network.http.pipelining” to “true”

Set “network.http.proxy.pipelining” to “true”
