[quote who="Jafo" reply="16" id="3377010"] Quoting Roloccolor, reply 15However i did not find a article that lead to Norton2003 that blamed Norton only for it... i did find the error code 0x8024001E for it in combination to a service pack install most of the refered times... Oh I'm sure Norton went out of its way to bury its balls-up. Keep searching...you'll find it. I have no interest in wasting time with Norton. I dumped almost a year&#

[quote who="Jafo" reply="13" id="3376951"] Quoting Roloccolor, reply 12if im correct the only way to resolve this would be via CD/HDdisk... Yes, because without BITS you cannot DL the packs from MS ...so if you do not have an alternate means to get them...or don't have the disks it means a re-install of Windows from the ground up. It is the sort of quaint 'mistake' that guarantees you will forever be leery of ever using a product from t

[quote who="Jafo" reply="4" id="3376654"]Now...in the ONLY defense you will hear for Norton.... their more recent products are better. They HAD to be, because their old stuff was pretty ordinary. Whan an AV can kill Windows' BITS service rendering you unable to effect repairs...and you had 2 options.... a lengthy several-page step by step process of cmd line fixes and registry alterations or ...IF YOU HAD IT run a re-install of SP2 via disk ....remembering of course to also do

I expected to not gain a comment on this... But i had to make clear that the most comments in the SD support threat must have been directed at 2012 products or below. The scareware software that DOC pointed to was from 2011 and a standalone free product, I respect DOC highly since he has actually knowledge about what he writes. And even he agreed that Nortn has improved lately As already mentioned i was never speaking about 2012 or below products from Symantec I

Reply to "IPS" Monitor technology, "Color Profiles", and "Windows 7" "Color Management" in "Control Panel" in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

I don’t want to crush in like a wild animal here but an IPS-Panel monitor for under 200USD or better said 140USD surely has pros and cons. Asus is one of the leading company’s in this field did you check their site for software? Did you buy that monitor on second hand ? Software is normally included ! Just like the cable unless it has presets and is plug and play no further software is required. Also The Model name isn’t complete or the M

Kona they already announced changes to that on the E3 But here is the catch- what most people dont understand is that DRM-prot is up to a publisher Sony said 1st party publishers/Studios will be releasing DRM free products - so for example games from FIRST PARTY STUDIO/ like Naughty Dog that is owned by Sony Entertainment will be DRM free. But publishers like EA or Studios like Crytec can choose if they want DRM or not that includ

OK so after Neil wrote : This is not pointed at you Neil just pick the quote as entry point. Quoting Neil Banfield, reply 9 If the file is signed then the right approach would be to simply inform the user that they do not know much about this software, but it is signed by XXXXX and perhaps link this back to the server info which would know that many apps signed by XXXX have been found

Jafo the only station i ever head was a ps2 and that i bought used but since i dont to spend a fortune on a gaming pc like i dod over the past years i consider getting a console... My PC is worth more than a small car and it become addicting to keep up to play games on ULTRA i think 500 USD is not that bad... since these stations will be on the market for the next 3-4 years. ( the console station you got there in your screenshot is timeless and well worth

Neil i was still in editing forgive me im not that fast...take another look But Norton does not scare cutomers of from SD or others or wants them to stay away from you guys, if a file is brand new and barely anone has it - it gives you a fair warning and isolates the file as potential thread... i dont see nothing wrong about that. like i wrote that can be solved if you trust in a prog - just mark it as ok and restore it. But if you have it set to manual update - of course you
