Try going to Control Panel > Folder Options > View tab and check "Always show icons, never thumbnails". See if that helps?!
As you know, it didn't work but it was worth a try. Tonight I'll try a few more things. First off, I'll try putting these folders right on the C: drive instead of on the desktop. Then I'll try disabling UAC (which I think I tried already and didn't work). And then I'll look into the "Off-line file sync" Windows feature that is apparently turned on by default...
Fingers are crossed that it'll just work if I move them off the desktop...
Moving the files to directories directly under the C: drive didn't work. A little more investigating and yes, this is a common problem with Vista and people have named it "Vista's Long Goodbye" (although for me it's permanent until reboot). So Microsoft acknowledges the issue but will give no explanation. While I'm waiting for my fix ... here are two reliable links...

Couple things that I was thinking about with this (not that either will provide a fix) had to do with the difference between your situation and Mine. The first thing that came to mind is the fact that you are on a domain. I wonder if there is any sort of caching going on that would be affecting this?
The other thing I was thinking about that your problem is only with these specific folders, and the problem follows the folders. The problem is only there after you create a new set of files, and goes away after a reboot until you create new files. This leads me to believe that there is a helper DLL of some sort for one of your programs accessing this folder that is not being properly disposed when the program is closed. Have you tried checking that with each of these programs your memory and number of running processes goes back to what it was before use upon close? I imagine you will see a slight increase in memory useage and/or an additional process (that may have an obscure name). You might also find an unlocker program that lists out what programs/dlls are using the locked files to help track something like this down.
Just my 2¢
I always just type in "gmail.com" to my browser, but you can use the full http://www.gmail.com or http://mail.google.com. Although this isn't the secure version of gmail, I have never had an issue with an error while loading. I tested doing https://www.gmail.com and although it works, firefox tells you that the certificate being used is not registered to gmail, but rather mail.google.
After your suggestion, I looked into this. I already had it in my menu, and I agree it is quite interesting to play with. I especially liked how you can set up your fantasy team and it will track all of your players for you.
I like the Scoreboard feature the best. I like how you can drill down into each game for detailed stats. I only wish you could get some high-def resolution through it, then I would scrap my cable box altogether.
I had no idea you can track a fantasy team. That's the only good reason I have to actually try fantasy football, so maybe next season I'll give it a shot.
I think it's a power problem. It usually happens when the dryer in the basement is turned on... but not always.
I know I'm the girlfriend..but my goodness is that a cute puppy!
This is SWEET! Looks awesome dude
So tonight I replaced with power-supply with a new Antec NeoPower 500W Modular PSU. Only $60 at Fry's. I also replaced the Pentium D 935 3.2ghz CPU with a Core 2 Duo E4500 2.2ghz. It's a slower speed but according to the hardware charts it's faster, cooler and gives all-around better performance. And it bumped up my CPU rating in Vista from 4.8 to 5.0. So ........ if this doesn't stop it from re-booting then it's the memory or the power coming from the wall. Fingers crossed.
Didn't reboot last night, yay. I think the new power supply fixed the problem.
Hi
Know EXACTLY what you mean with this MOBO A770-m and the exact same as you had with driver patch for graphics PCIe.
First did you find success?? Please explain if so as I am banging head hard agaist wall
rangie
Unfortunately, updating the BIOS didn't fix my problem. I eventually figured out that the random rebooting was being caused by a failing power-supply which I replaced and the system has since been stable (refer to the "What's Wrong with my Computer" post).
What kind of problems are you seeing with yours?
Vista Service Pack 1 fixed it!
Added a Skulltrail system to the list :)
So what was the problem? I use photoshop all the time, would be good to know the problem/solution in case I encounter the situation too.
A couple of gradient layers were on top of a white background layer. I changed the background to blue but the gradients still faded to white. Right-click the gradient layers, Blending Options, then apply "Multiply" which is one of the choices.
Sweet! I'm glad I saw this post. I always wanted to do this, but never got around to doing the research. Now in about 10 minutes I've got pfSense PPTP users authenticating against the domain. Thanks for the great post!
Hi,
There is a video which demonstrates step-by-step the request and installation of GoDaddy SSL certificate:
www.netometer.com/.../iis7-godaddy-ssl-certificate
It is important to install first the Intermediate Certificates. In case you have installed first your certificate you have to follow the troubleshooting outlined in:
www.netometer.com/.../index.php
The troubleshooting steps for IIS6 and IIS7 are the same.
Generally GoDaddy allows you to Re-key your certificate up to 3 times, in a 30 days period after you’ve purchased the certificate.
It is a good practice to export your new certificate and keep it in a safe place (together with the Intermediate Certificates) for backup and recovery purposes. Of course, you can download the intermediate certificates anytime but it is easier to have then handy instead of looking for them online and downloading them.
If the server dies and you have to re-install it or you are moving the websites to a new server you can simply import (first the Intermediate certificates) your certificate in the new server. That’s easier, and besides that the right approach to do it.
I will be posting a separate video about this as it seems a lot of people are migrating/upgrading to IIS7 and face the problem with exporting/importing their public certificate(s).
Some people are posting the question – can I run a web server farm (using load balancing for example) and install the same certificate on all the servers. You can physically do this but that’s illegal. You can not use simultaneously the Turbo SSL certificate on more then one servers.
The process of importing/exporting SSL certificate described above assumes that you will stop using it on the old server.
Regards,
Dean
I tried a similar installation procedure and got an error when trying to import the .crt file from GoDaddy.
CertEnroll::CX509Enrollment:_InstallResponse ASN1 bad tag value met 0x8009319b (ASN.267)
this occurred when I clicked OK in the Specify Certificate Authority Response dialog.
any ideas what could be causing this?
Jim - I would try re-keying your certificate again. If you've got a regular GoDaddy SLL certificate and you're running Server 2008, then the instructions above should work. Maybe your CSR wasn't pasted properly? I just select all of the text, including the comments, and it works. Make sure you choose IIS in GoDadddy? The default is Apache. And make sure you install the Intermediate certificate before importing your certificate.
Dean - Interesting that you can't apply the same certificate to servers in a web farm... I didn't know that. I would guess that companies buy a wildcard SSL certificate (*.domain.com) to take care of that issue. Then I imagine they'd be allowed to install that certificate on as many machines as they'd like.
Pingback from Exchange 2007 POP3 and IMAP4 via BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS)
Excellent instructions for how to setup Blackberry professional to work with Exchange 2007.
Unfortunately you cannot have a blackberry configured to two different BES servers simultaneously :-(
It looks like your mobile provider has provisioned the device for BIS and BES, so you could explore the options for BIS connecting to your home Excahnge via OWA.
Haha! I figured that out the hard way and forgot to make a note of it in my post. Once connected to my own Exchange server I was completely disconnected from my work email. I had to call infrastructure and explain that my blackberry somehow reset itself :) Some people on forums out there say it is possible, but I can confirm at this point it's not. I've resorted to IMAP4 thought BIS which is good enough.
Install FreeNAS (and most such tools) in VMware (or other VM solution). It wastes less hardware and works great. (Probably a new system wasn't even warranted in the first place.)
Thanks Matt, this worked great for me. Glad to have your site as a resource since Godaddy hasn't updated their instructions for IIS7.
That would require a beefier machine, more software, more complexity. The whole point was to build a super-lean (and really cheap) machine and stuff it full of hard drives. And have the OS run off a usb key so we could just pop it out for exceptional security.
Glad it works great for you, but my experience with FreeNAS sucked. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
My computer also infected with "Antivirus XP 2008" when I was surfing the net, but I solved the problem after read your article.
Thanks a lot. :-)
Tried to set this up on an old dual Athlon 2400MP. Gigabit SERVER board and (2) 200 Gig Hard drivers. Thried to set up the Software Raid 1. I get an error stating there must be two disks in a volume (which there are). The 2 disk are even listed below in the provider box....WTF. Just because its' free doesn't mean it is any good. Tried windows home server and it was fully funtional in an hour.
Help! I still cant get it work.

There are quite a few things that could be causing the problem (firewall, pbx, ip phones, router, the settings teliax tells you to use, etc).
The best thing to do to start diagnosing your problem is to download and install the free version of the X-Lite softphone from CounterPath. Using a microphone, speakers, and your Teliax account information you should be able to easily send and receive calls. Enter your Teliax info like this:
Add new SIP Account.
Display Name = Teliax Username
User Name = Teliax Username
Password = Teliax Device Password
Authorization Username = Teliax Username
Domain = xxx.teliax.net
Check "Register with domain and receive incoming calls"
Select "Send outbound via... Domain"
If you can send and receive calls, you know the problem lies within your firewall/pbx/phone configuration. If not, the problem is on Teliax's end.

Only works with IE :(
I am having the exact same issue as Jim and re-keying didn't help. And as an FYI, I am logged in with a domain admin account to the web server. Any thoughts?
P.S. Great site!
I re-keyed a second time and it worked! I guess I did something wrong the first 2 times. Thanks!
ur demo does not work in IE6
Thanks, I was only using IE7. I ended up just using the original marquee that includes the break, it works on everything.
Pingback from User links about "crossbrowser" on iLinkShare
WOW! This is the first negative mention I have seen about FreeNAS, which is good. It is always good to hear people's troubles with a system.
I had little to no trouble setting up FreeNAS this weekend. I used an older computer I had laying around. And also, I have not tried setting up a RAID yet (I thought I would get up and running first then break it incrementally ;-)), but from what I have read it seems pretty easy. It sounds like two things may be at play to cause the two people above so much trouble; hardware that wasn't compatible, and/or lack of research (RTFM ;-)).
Cheers!
Just happened to me! That website is STILL up, STILL in google search results, and STILL infecting computers!
Thanks, this was driving me nuts, I use several Remote Desktop sessions throughout the day and my keys always got stuck, I reverted to a reboot to fix it.
Your solution works.
Good Info. I wrote a similar piece with some other details on generating CSR's. Just subscribed to your RSS. Good stuff man.

The VLC Telnet interface uses a default port of 4212. It took a little while to figure that out.
And the VLC Telnet interface default password is admin, although you can specify your own with the command line parameter --telnet-password somepassword.
Did you format the raid array to UFS after it was created prior to setting the mount point? FYI, there is a forum at sourceforge that can help you with these issues.
Yes I did. I read in the documentation somewhere that Software RAID sets should or must use UFS, so I remember that's what I chose and that's what took all night to process in Problem 4.
I had the same problem with Freenas RAID but I went to the command line and mounted the raid partition manually (after formatting it as UFS from the web interface). After mounting the partition, I went back to the web interface to complete the share name and it worked properly then.
I keep getting an error when setting a mounting point as well.
3 drives (scsi)
Just setting up 1 36gb drive, UFS, Formatted Ok, but cannot mount disk point. Have tried this several time on 3 different disks.
FreeNas has nothing about this on the support forums.
I may just go with ClarkConnect after all.
I never understand why someone would complain about something that was given to them. I also can not understand that someone would go out and purchase all new hardware before even trying it first. Yes I had some problems as well when first learning to use it but I worked through them then I purchased some new hardware. Take in mind that FreeNAS was made to use up that old hardware that you have laying around not the latest "you can't get drivers" hardware.
It's easy to understand, I wasted a lot of time on this project and I write about my personal experiences. I'm not asking people to fix these issues because I had problems, that would be complaining. I'm stating the issues I encountered and my own experience to contribute to the big ol' knowledge base in the sky.
Corey340, maybe that would have resolved my issue, thanks for the info. If I ever try it again I'll keep that in mind.
Great tutorial thanks. Here is drop shadow generator: http://www.dropshadowz.net
Thank you!! I had used "domain" instead of the domain name!
You really need to check on hardware compatibility before you buy new for any linux/BSD project.
I have FreeNAS installed on 2 different boxes.
One with software PATA RAID 0 (yes, call me a mad man). The other on a box w/ integrated SATA RAID 1.
Both work fine. I had a tough time getting boot from USB key. Was able to write img to USB key as in instructions, but it would not boot on home machine (SiS chipset) no matter what I tried. Took to office, put in machine w/ Intel chipset, booted up. Installing on USB does make for a VERY SLOW bootup. I ended up using a spare hdd for boot.
I wish you had given it more of a chance, it really is great stuff.
That 4 TB NAS would've SMOKED.
thanks,
ds
While FreeNAS does have a bit of a learning curve to initially set up, once you play with it a bit it is very powerful. I have a machine running with (6) 500GB SATA drives in a RAID5 array, and I love it! Of course, there are certain quirks that I have encountered, but that is to be expected with any beta software.
Has anyone had experience with FreeNAS using Active Directory? I have successfully got it up and running, however it seems I am doing something wrong with permissions management.
Thanks for this fix! I was having trouble with my sub-menu items in Opera. I inserted this code into my basePage and all is fixed. Thanks again!
I have the exact same problem as you. Have you tried anything else? I've been unable to find a solution. So, we'll be getting the same email twice on our phones as well as whatever email we'll reply to from Outlook!
I didn't set up my Blackberry internet yet, but i'm already not looking forward to it! Thanks guys.
Yeah it's pretty annoying. I've read some articles about setting up filters to fix the problem, but that's more than I want to do as I'm the only one connected through BIS. If you figure it out, and it's easier than it looks, let me know. I'd appreciate it.
Better documentation of the Active Directory configuration would sure go a long way!
It's kind of ironic. I came online search for people who had problems setting FreNAS with RAID. After reading the postings I realized what was I doing wrong. I was able to mount the RAID partition successfully. But I agree with the moderator, it is not an intuitive process and it's very time-consuming.
Thank you very much, this fix also work for me. Is it possible to have a declarative way which only require Web.config ?
Get ASP.NET Menu work on Chrome, Safari and Opera
Thank you very much ^^. How could you know this?
Thank for your suggestion. How could you know this ?. ^^
I read about it somewhere.

Hi, your script is a good solution, but there's a procedure\windows tools for make a backup without powerdown the machines?? With windows server 2008 i need another volume that for the moment doesn't exist...
THX a lot
I think you're asking if there is a way to backup VMs without shutting down. Yes, you can use "Snapshots" but they aren't the same as full backups and there are some horror stories out there about people relying on snapshots and then losing their entire system! If you're able to shutdown your machines during some regular interval, I've found this is the best way to backup your virtual machines so far.
ive tried all config and spent countless hours on the phone with RIM and all roads point to no solution... i think RIM is using this to push people over to BES and i think that earns them a " sneaky little devil " award... :)
if anyone in the whole wide world can please please fix this... i did hear RIM say that " oh well your provider must be using patch ... (*& "
so apparently they are blaming this on some security patch ... for those of you who admin your own 2007 boxes this is something to look into... ill dig up the name of the patch...
good night and good luck !
You and me both. I've learned to just live with these duplicate messages. If they are just trying to push everyone into buying a BES server they're going to need all the help they can get. I just hooked up an iPhone to my Exchange server using ActiveSync ... bunkerhollow.com/.../connect-an-iphone-to-exchange-2007-via-activesync.aspx ... and it's awesome! There's no need for a BlackBerry server anymore!
I've done the same with the alpha, and then forgot it all when the beta came out so went through all the pain again.
Needless to say I didn't write it down that time either!
Now it's time for RC2 and your notes are gonna help lots.
The ajax controls version issues I solved in a different way. Instead of using YAFs old versions I used bindingRedirects in the web.config.
Like so:
<runtime>
<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="AjaxControlToolkit" publicKeyToken="28f01b0e84b6d53e" />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="1.0.20229.26329" newVersion="3.0.11119.25533"/>
</dependentAssembly>
</assemblyBinding>
</runtime>
Thanks for your suggestion on the Ajax problem. I like that solution better.
i get the exact same error but havne't found any resolution. any luck on your side?
Actually no, I thought this fixed it but it didn't. I've given up on it since I rarely reboot, but if you figure it out let me know.
You may also want to add as a note that your VmBackup.bat will fail for 64-bit Hyper-V installs. It's because by default PowerShell installs to "syswow64" instead of "system32". I'd say that many are running Hyper-V on x64 so this would be useful to know.
Are you sure it will fail? I'm definitely running 64bit and it turns out I have both paths... so it either installs both by default or at some point I installed the x86 version unnecessarily.
doesn't work in IE8
IE8 is in beta, but regardless, I won't be making any changes to this script. I'm not using it anymore.
A much better way of performing (online) backups of VM's, which will also include snapshots is to use the Server 2008 command DISKSHADOW.
DISKSHADOW will allow you to take a snapshot of the volume holding the VM's, which you can then mount as a drive letter and copy of the contents.
New to Trixbox... Having problems setting up a test server to send voicemail emails. Your post hit me in the forehead with a clue. The SMTP server needs to be local, eh?
I don't think your SMTP server has to be local, but if you're not using Webmin the SMTP settings are limited on the Trixbox configuration page so you may not be able to connect to certain external servers (Gmail, Yahoo, etc). However, if you setup Webmin, you should have enough options to send mail using any SMTP server.
fab, thanks for the tips! and so easy to understand, cheers.

It is possible to import a database created on a different host into godaddy db you use the import function instead of the restore -- you can also ftp the file that go daddy creates off the server and import it somewhere else if you want
I don't think so my friend. There is a backup option, and a restore option. You can only restore database backups created by GoDaddy. The import function you might be referring to is for CSV files, which isn't the same.
well then why did i just do it??
I just wrote a php script that is fired by the cron daily to create a complete backup of my database. then created a new data base on godaddy. ftped the backup I created earlier off the server to my pc then ran the phpmysqladmin and imported all the tables and data into the new test database I created
