My computer is set to use automatic updates from Windows Update. So when SP1 for Windows 7 came out, I didn't even think about installing it… Windows Update will take care of it for me. But sadly I was mistaking. After two months I realized that the service pack had not been installed. So I downloaded the service pack from Microsoft Download Center , and tried to install it. But I got an error: "the update is not applicable to your computer". Googling around, I found that I needed some...
I'm using live writer since it's beta releases. I currently write in two blogs – technical blog – in English, and a cooking blog in Hebrew. One of the biggest pains in WLW was that the spell check dictionary was installed according to the installed language of Windows Live Essentials. That means that if you downloaded the English version of WLW, you had only the English dictionary. A problem for someone that writes in different languages. Today I found the solution to this problem, which...
Lately I notice that every time I insert a DoK or a disk, the AutoPlay/autorun doesn't appear. I also notice that when I click on the disk drive in My Computer window, I will get directed to the explorer view of the disk and the autorun doesn't engaged. It is especially annoying when I insert a disk for some installation and I have to search for the setup.exe file… After googling for a while I found this article: Fix Windows 7 AutoPlay Dialog Box Missing or Not Appear, Display and Pop Up...
Recently, I’ve started to work on several projects in my free time. After a while, I realized that I couldn’t manage without source control (especially after you do some refactoring on a xaml code and suddenly nothing works…). So I started to search, and found a web site called Assembla . It allows you to set up a free source control space in a server which is based on SVN. The setup is pretty easy, and in less then five minutes you have source control for your projects. In addition, there are additional...
Since windows 7 was released I couldn’t wait to install it on my computer. I have suffered with vista since it came out, and I wanted to get rid of it ASAP. So, I’ve installed it on my main computer (which is one year old) and I’m enjoying using it every day. About two months ago I also bought a netbook – Asus Eee 1005HA. It is very portable and a joy to use. But it had XP installed. So I missed the good things, I had on my main computer with Vista – Especially the search in the start menu… Last...

In the last couple of weeks I've formatted and reinstalled my laptop. It was one of the longest installation I've ever done and I encountered many problems during the installation. This was a really annoying one. After I finished the installation of windows, updated it, installed visual studio, and updated it also, I created a simple web-site to see that everything is working properly. When I browsed the site I received the this error : "Failed to access IIS metabase The process account used to run...
