Ramblings of a freelance IT Consultant working for some nice SME's, large organisations, resellers and the usual friends and family! Bit of a technical, Marillion and King Crimson junky. That's where the money goes - 1's and 0's. Click on the links on the right for my website or twitter.
A sneaky trick – create an HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WHOS key in your registry; restart the machine; let windows update run...
It picks up an upgrade (that will not install until I shutdown and upgrade for some reason).
Power on, plug in phone HALLELUJAH! Phone is syncing again (with a very small bit of setup work).
Wunderbar. Now I’m more content!
I’ve transitioned my production desktop to beta. Vista RC1 (although RC2 was released this week L) and Office 12 B2TR. It’s been an interesting ride, I chose in the end for a clean install of both after a failed install (because I left the machine in the OU that delivered Office 2003 by GPO!).
My next challenge will be to upgrade the old XP SP2 world when I am ready.
What’s wrong right now? Well the main crippler is it’d be nice to use my Windows Mobile 5 phone on the system – apparently the ActiveSync upgrade is still ‘dogfood only’ for MS right now. So the old XPSP2 world has to live on for a bit. Oh and the ISA 2004 client is running in XP mode too.
