Running an experiment
Say I install WinXP SP2 in a PC without any firewall/antivirus protection and leave it permanently connected to the internet with a broadband connection.

RE: bgsvcgen.exe?
Before deleting the file or renaming it to bgsvcgen.exe.BAK I would like to be able to stop the process from starting each time I reboot.

RE: bgsvcgen.exe?
I checked the file and it's located in the c:\windows\system32 folder. I scanned it with NIS2005, NOD32, Spyware Doctor and Spysweeper and none of them report it as malware. What concerns me is that I don't have any B.H.A. software products ins... | alegator | Tech Talk | 04-17-2007 at 05:07 AM |

RE: S.M.A.R.T. Fail Status
This is just an update, I'm still using the same SMART fail hard drive on a 24/7 basis since I created this thread and it has been performing flawlessly. Of course I'm also backing up regularly just in case. | alegator | Tech Talk | 04-16-2007 at 07:24 AM |
RE: Outlook or OE as an email client?
I was only referring to the mail capability of Outlook, knowing that it has other features like Calendar, Notes, etc. If not using the other stuff, then I think I'm better off with OE as it uses less resources and is faster for its purpose, plus I'... | alegator | Tech Talk | 04-14-2007 at 09:07 AM |
RE: Outlook or OE as an email client?
What I do with OE is the usual stuff: create custom message rules, custom folders, block senders, address book, and synch some webmail accounts like Hotmail. What else can I do with Outlook? | alegator | Tech Talk | 04-14-2007 at 05:58 AM |
Outlook or OE as an email client?
What are the pros and cons of each? I always used and use OE for email. Outlook seems to be a heavier program, but is it worth the move? | alegator | Tech Talk | 04-14-2007 at 01:46 AM |

RE: Moving contacts from Outlook 2007 to Palm Desktop
Palm Desktop only accepts dba or vcs files, and neither of them shows in the export options of Outlook 2007. Regarding why I want ot do this is just because I'm used to the Palm Desktop software, I prefer its interface and search. | alegator | Tech Talk | 04-13-2007 at 11:53 PM |

RE: Why do people complain about iTunes?

Why do people complain about iTunes?
I find it the best media player, in terms of GUI simplicity, fast search, etc. Nevertheless I heard many people complain about it being "proprietary". What is it exactly, in simple words, that iTunes can't do due to it being proprietary? | alegator | Tech Talk | 04-08-2007 at 12:23 AM |

RE: "FNPLicensingService.exe" in Task Manager
Isn't Wintasks like Windows Task Manager? I mean, that it will allow you to stop the running process but not uninstall it from the system permanently? In the latter case, how do you do it? Thanks. | alegator | Tech Talk | 03-10-2007 at 12:54 AM |
