vsp1cln.exe Missing - HTFC Forums

vsp1cln.exe Missing - HTFC Forums

Still I'd love to reduce down this damn WINSXS directory:

C:\windows - 20316.4 MB
C:\Windows\Winsxs - 10186.2 MB

Seriously??? This is Microsoft's good idea of library revision control.

Just updated to VMware 2.0 on Gentoo and couldn't login to the Web interface...

Double check that the /etc/vmware/vmwaregroup file exists, and contains the word "vmware" and that
root is a member of vmware.

I didn't even have that file.

Just when I thought IE couldn't get worse, IE 8 came out

So yesterday my Vista said hey, you have a new IE (and Office 2007) update. I said what the hell. I barely use IE now, why not. Well, after the upgrade, MonkeyMedia was broken. Fixed by a newer Beta client, fine, I can live with that (but I wonder what else is broken now).

Anyways, after running it for only one day, memory consumption is even worse than before. I'm looking at Task Manager right now, and with a total of 3 tabs open, I have two iexplore.exe processes, consuming the following Working, Memory (Private Working), and Commit Size respectively:

127,084K / 95,840K / 127,932K
223,696K / 196,844K / 232,396K
------total----------------------
350,780 / 292,684 / 360,328

All that memory to display two FB pages, and one ticketweb order page. Seriously?!?


Now, compare this to my Firefox, 328,712K / 298,864K / 317,976K with a grand total of 61 tabs open.

I'm going to guess there's some share memory between these two processes, but regardless it doesn't bode well.

Really Right Stuff ... The High Capacity Monopod Solution

Really Right Stuff ... The High Capacity Monopod Solution

I can't say enough good words about this company and their products. They came recommended to mean, and they now have another person to endorse their products. The craftsmanship is excellent, and the parts are high quality, and the design is well thought. It may be pricey, but I won't need to buy another clamp and monopod head again.

Ugh, Windows Mobile drives me crazy

I swear, I really don't think that a day goes by where I don't have to end up resetting my damned WM 6.1 phone. I am dead serious that it is nearly daily. The only things I run are the Mail app, Pocket IE occasionally, SPB Mobile Shell 2.0, and Pocket Player. That's it. Ugggggh.

USB Keyboard and mouse stopped working upon upgrade to Xorg 1.5, new setting needed

My manpage says:
"If enabled, don't add the standard keyboard and mouse drivers, if there are no
input devices in the config file. Enabled by default if AutoAddDevices and
AutoEnableDevices is enabled, otherwise disabled."
I'll add another line warning about the disabling of mouse/kbd devices to the
man page.

Anyway, the semantics are:

AllowEmptyInput is on:
- if there are no input devices in xorg.conf, don't do anything.
- ignore devices in xorg.conf that use the kbd and mouse driver (new)

AllowEmptyInput is off:
- add all devices listed in the xorg.conf
- if no devices are listed in the xorg.conf, add a default pointer + keyboard
(/dev/console and /dev/input/mice usually)

On top of that, you have AutoAddDevices and AutoEnableDevices, who decide if
devices listed by HAL should be added. The common defaults is for all three to
be true, or (if HAL isn't an option for some reason) for all three to be false.
