While installing VMWare server, I ran into an issue. The installer on several machines failed with an error that:

"Setup has detected VMWare running on this machine. Please power off or suspend all Virtual Machines and close all VMWare applications before attempting to install this product."

I thought it was crazy. This is the first time VMWare is being installed at this site. Then it hit me that I renamed the install file vmware.exe. Conveniently, setup was checking to see if this was running before installing the software.

Doh!

This is quite interesting as Bill Gates and Steve Jobs are on the same stage together.

Testing from Live Writer (Beta)

I am going to test out this Windows Live Writer Beta and see how it works. So far, it seems pretty cool.

Whaaaaaat? Edit the NTDLR??????

Now normally I don’t knock on others “helpful” tips, but this just made me sit back and say “WOW!”

While reading through the massive amount of emails I get on a daily basis, I came upon an email that came to me last week from MCPMag.com. The article was written by Chris Wolf, an MVP. Now I may be off my rocker, but I don’t think this should be in the hands of most “admins”. The article involved someone asking for a “registry hack” to disable safe mode. In response to this question, Chris responds with what amounts to editing the NTDLR with a hex editor to change a value in the file.

I may be nuts, but would I recommend editing the NTDLR on a production system? NO! Also how can this be a viable solution for “fixing” this problem? Also, editing the NTDLR with a hex editor? I would love for someone to implement this and then call PSS. They might just laugh that person off the phone.

Oh well… think I am nuts for this bugging me? Let me know….

Probably one of the worst KB's I have ever seen written. Yet for some reason, I feel the need to share.
