While building my new computer, I ran into a problem after I added 2 disks from the old one that were configured as a Raid array, after installing Windows 7 on a non-Raid disk and installing the Raid drivers from the MSI utility and driver DVD.  My new motherboard is an MSI P55-GD65. I found a pointer [...]

Windows Virtual PC requires hardware virtualization support. If you installed it on an older machine without running the virtualization support tool first, you probably want to remove it again. But there is no uninstall link, and Programs and Features in the Windows Control Panel does not show an entry, either. Because Virtual PC installs as [...]

When an asp:Imagebutton control is used with a client-side event, for instance to show a popup window, and the control is not in an asp:UpdatePanel, the client-side event does not complete because the ImageButton initiates a full post-back. In the browser, for instance with a ShadowBox popping up, it appears that the event fired and [...]

I got my hands on an 80GB Solid State Disk (SSD) and decided to put it into my new Thinkpad T410 as the primary (system) disk. I was running Windows 7 x64 Enterprise on my old laptop and wanted to avoid the hassle of having to rebuild a development system on this new disk. I [...]

This morning, my Nexus One stopped receiving emails. When I tried to refresh my Exchange inbox on the phone, I got a “cannot connect” error. Powering down and rebooting did not help. Any attempt to browse the web would just bring up the page shown below. I called the T-Mobile Customer Support number while at a restaurant waiting for [...]

Please note that the list below was compiled based on functionality in Android 2.1 on the Nexus One when it became available. Many of these issues have been addressed in Android 2.2, such as WPA-2 Enterprise support, Exchange Calendar sync, Bluetooth tethering, etc. My Nexus One was listed on eBay twice, but I cancelled the [...]

I guess it was too good to be true. A phone that does everything that I want and need and could possibly ask for and is not an iPhone? Not the Nexus One. Or at least, not yet. Mine went on eBay today, and I hope that I will be at least able to get [...]

I frequently run into this very annoying bug in IE. I configured the browser to ask before writing cookies of unknown sites. When I hit a site that has both a Javascript error and a cookie warning popping up, there is a deadlock situation, since neither of the dialog boxes responds to input. The only [...]

If you, like myself, resisted all the peer pressure out there for joining the iPhone crowd, and instead held on to that funky Windows Mobile device, this may be of interest to you. Microsoft had an opportunity with Windows Mobile 6.5 to set the first step of the many needed for maintaining the gap between [...]

Time has come to replace my T-Mobile Shadow. I am no longer under contract, and the phone is no longer cutting-edge technology. My wife needs a new phone as well. The Verizon Droid has been creating some buzz for a while, so I started looking into what I’d be able to get for my money right [...]
