Feb 15	comment	How to connect to network printer with Windows 7 There's no such thing as a Windows XP server. XP is a workstation OS.
Dec 2	comment	How can I make an IP address always resolve the same MAC address on a Mac? It would help greatly if you told us what it is you're trying to achieve. The questions is far from clear.
Oct 31	comment	Installing Powershell 3.0 on Windows 7 - updates were not installed It probably didn't deserve a downvote but it's going to get closed. The question as written contains absolutely nothing to indicate it is anything other than an end-user question.
Oct 30	comment	How many serial ports can be configured in Windows 7? You may be right. I don't have any references to hand but recall that I looked up the information when I was writing a comms program for Win95, which was obviously a few years ago.
Oct 30	comment	How many serial ports can be configured in Windows 7? Windows has supported 256 ports since Windows 95, at least according to the API documentation.
Oct 29	comment	Why isn't a mapped drive available under an elevated cmd prompt but is under a regular cmd prompt? Ask Microsoft support.
Oct 27	comment	Cloning BitLocker encrypted disk to VMWare Fusion image? Why not disable BitLocker and be done with it?
Oct 11	comment	`echo 123 > out.txt` equivalent on windows command line? Then leave out the space before after the ">", and strip the trailing newline when you read the file.
Sep 20	comment	How to recover deleted NTFS partitions? While we don't normally do product recommendations in this instance I'll suggest R-Studio, which I've used many times in these circumstances.
Sep 19	comment	VirtualBox: VBoxManage modifyhd hosting on mac os x resize not supported @pjmorse, I don't point people to specific areas of the FAQ because I want them to read all of it. As it only takes a few minutes to read the whole thing it's not asking much lot of people. In this instance other sections of the FAQ were also relevant.
Aug 31	comment	Restrict only some plugins to specific sites in Google Chrome You're asking for a level of control that Chrome is not designed to provide.
Aug 28	comment	New hard disk shipped with reallocated sectors. Should I worry? If you contact the manufacturer and ask for the details specs it should list the maximum number of relocated sectors the drive should ship with.
Aug 23	comment	Standard toolchain / tasks to repair a windows 7 machine Feel free to read our FAQ and learn why this is off topic for at least two reasons.
Aug 17	comment	How to unlock multiple files at once Sure works for me.
Aug 5	comment	Do I need to set up a HomeGroup, a Workgroup or Domain? @pQd, you've read the question. Do you really think this person is capable of installing and configuring a Samba system?
Jun 27	comment	Rescue DOS (probably FAT16) files @DanH, there are so many adapters available for this that it's a non-issue. Besides, if it's an XP machine the likelihood of it having an IDE connector is high. We are after all talking about a decade old OS.
Jun 16	comment	Are scratched gold contacts a sign for already used RAM? I have to say that is definitely grounds to be suspicious. Normal automated testing procedures use touch contacts that don't leave a mark and I don't like the odds of you having received more than one batch of manually tested pieces. For that matter, even getting two at one time is pretty unlikely.
Jun 16	comment	Are scratched gold contacts a sign for already used RAM? If you're at all concerned don't wait for an email response. Phone them.
Jun 16	comment	Are scratched gold contacts a sign for already used RAM? What did Corsair say when you asked them?
May 3	comment	internet Explorer 8 manage addon pop disabling Of course if you had read the FAQ you would already have been aware of that. Please take a moment to do so now.
