Just upgraded my media center case to an Antec Fusion Remote. Now its a very well made case and has 120mm fans in them with variable speed control which is why it took my fancy. It has full size slots as well as my older case could only take half height cards which is always a problem finding them. I… Continue reading Antec Fusion Remote HTPC Case – Audio Control Doesnt Work
After taking the Cypress update my front usb ports stopped working. How did I fix it well if you go to the device manager (right click the computer icon in file explorer, click properties then click device manager [left hand side]) under Universal Serial Bus Controllers (right at the bottom) there is a device shown now called HX2LP kit (3.03.0000.2)… Continue reading Front USB Ports not working on my Shuttle running Vista x64 Ultimate
Recently upgraded to vista and for the life of me couldnt get the vista to work with rsyncd running from cygwin. Would always stop with a code 12 error and not alot else.

The reason for buying this little baby is that I hate opening cases everytime I want to configure a new drive. Before buying looked everywhere, did… Continue reading Scythe Kama Connect 2
Ok thought I would have a look at DBDesigner4 as MyWorkbench seems to be taking a long time to get into beta. DBDesigner4 looks a great product but couldnt get it to connect to mysql 5 then realised that it the designer was designed for version 3 mysql and lots of the old mysql products need to read the myql.user… Continue reading DBDesigner4, Windows and MYSQL 5
Since upgrading to Vista have had a few problems syncing my Palm Treo 750v with the mobile center. Read lots of places that upgrading to Mobile Center 6.1 helped well I dont think thats really the problem, the problem seems to be that the (or at least mine) Treo seems to have a mind of its own and gets stuck… Continue reading Vista, Palm Treo 750v and Windows Mobile Center 6.1

Ok I previously blogged how to get visual studio 2003 talking to cvs using putty and pushok. This is an update to that, which can be found previous to this entry.

I… Continue reading Visual Studio 2005, Pushok and CVS on Vista / Linux
