Hot fix for games in Vista 2007-09-10 02:58:00 Microsoft has released two hot fixes for the issues with Direct X 10 Games and Multiple Graphic card usage in Vista
. This will probably be more apparent for the gaming people but any game running in Vista may be affected. Virtual address space usage in Windows game development http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940105 Systems with large amounts of ram (2GB or more) may actually be affected more than systems with less ram due to this limitation. ( 2 GB+ ram machines are going to see this help a lot more than our basic 512mb machines) When a Direct X 10 application runs on a Windows Vista-based computer that has multiple graphics cards, the computer does not use the secondary graphics card http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936710/

Most people of Windows 95, 98 era scariest nightmare is they saw BSOD.But since Windows XP, Microsoft has greatly improved their OS and at Vista, I have been using for six months, I have never seen BSOD again.As BSOD become a thing in the past, now Microsoft even made fun of it by releasing BlueScreen Screensaver. First time I know Microsoft has a sense of humor.What's this screensaver?Bluescreen cycles between different Blue Screens and simulated boots every 15 seconds or so. Virtually all the information shown on Bluescreen's BSOD and system start screen is obtained from your system configuration - its accuracy will fool even advanced NT developers. For example, the NT build number, processor revision, loaded drivers and addresses, disk drive characteristics, and memory size are all taken from the system Bluescreen is running on.Use Bluescreen to amaze your friends and scare your enemies!

Even though they are a small, new company, if they keep their good work, I'm sure they will be one of the major income sources for bloggers.Of course, there is some area to improve too. The thing that confused me is their Smorty scoring system. I've got 500 s

Open this file in Notepad:For Windows 2000/XP:C:Documents and Settings[username]Application DataMozillaFirefoxProfiles[profile name]user.jsreplace [username] with your Windows username and [profilename] with the name of your active profile (most likely, the only profile)For other operating systems: see here.2.
