			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you try run the utility tasks manually, they fail. You may get a similar error:</p>
<p>Schedule </p>
<p>an eject, the job starts running (or initialising). A few minutes later the Job Status changes from &#8220;Running&#8221; to &#8220;Communication Stalled&#8221;. Then after 15 </p>
<p>minutes the job fails. The same happens when trying to run an inventory.</p>
<p>The solution is as follows:</p>
<p>Go to the Devices tab and right-click on </p>
<p>the media server. Choose the pause option and leave it paused for a few seconds. Then un-pause it. Next re-start the Backup Exec services. Once the services </p>
<p>have re-started, you should have no trouble running the utility operations.</p>

<p>server. Again you say no problem and quickly open up the same location. But wait, it isn’t there! So you remember that user documents are located under </p>
<p>C:\Users (not Documents and Settings anymore!!). But there is still no “all users”. You choose to show hidden folders, but still no luck. One step further </p>
<p>and you choose not to hide protected system files. Aha, success! All users is now in the list. You notice though that the icon has the little arrow on it </p>
<p>(like the shortcut icon). It opens ok and you see the desktop icon. But when you double-click it you get an “access denied” error! It’s the same for all the </p>
<p>system icons.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">To cut a long story </p>
<p>short, Server 2008 and Vista have changed the “All Users” location. If you navigate your way back to C:\Users, a folder called Public is visible (also a </p>
<p>hidden folder by default). In here you will now find the location to drop common user icons.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Microsoft has taken the rare step of warning about a serious computer security vulnerability it </p>
<p>hasn&#8217;t fixed yet.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The vulnerability disclosed yesterday affects Internet Explorer users whose computers run the Windows XP or Windows Server </p>
<p>2003 operating software.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It can allow hackers to remotely take control of victims&#8217; machines. The victims don&#8217;t need to do anything to get </p>
<p>infected except visit a website that&#8217;s been hacked.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Security experts say criminals have been attacking the vulnerability for nearly a week. </p>
<p>Thousands of sites have been hacked to serve up malicious software that exploits the vulnerability. People are drawn to these sites by clicking a link in </p>
<p>spam email.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The so-called &#8220;zero day&#8221; vulnerability disclosed by Microsoft affects a part of its software used to play </p>
<p>video.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The problem arises from the way the software interacts with Internet Explorer, which opens a hole for hackers to tunnel </p>
<p>into.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Microsoft urged vulnerable users to disable the problematic part of its software, which can be done from Microsoft&#8217;s support website, </p>
<p>while the company works on a &#8220;patch&#8221; &#8211; or software fix &#8211; for the problem.</p>

<p>font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN;">But there is a catch: there is a limit of 25 PCs per individual under the program. A single company counts as an </p>
<p>individual!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 20.4pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 7.5pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Arial; </p>
<p>mso-ansi-language: EN;">&#8220;Specifically designated PCs that are pre-installed with Windows Vista Home Premium, Windows Vista Business, or Windows Vista </p>
<p>Ultimate may qualify for an upgrade to the equivalent Windows 7 product,&#8221; a Microsoft representative said. &#8220;Similarly, in some markets, retail-packaged </p>
<p>Windows Vista software products (sold separately from PCs) may also qualify for an upgrade to the equivalent Windows 7 product.&#8221;</span></p>
<p </p>
<p>class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 20.4pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 7.5pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Microsoft&#8217;s </p>
<p>limit of 25 PCs is unfair to enterprises, analyst Michael Silver, research vice president at Gartner, said. &#8220;I think it also encourages companies to monkey </p>
<p>around with their purchasing programs,&#8221; by waiting until October 22 to purchase PCs.</span></p>

<p>0cm 0cm 7.5pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Still, individual hardware vendors might just give enterprises the </p>
<p>free upgrades anyway beyond the 25-PC limit, Silver reasoned. Or, they could negotiate with Microsoft. &#8220;Everything&#8217;s negotiable, but if you don&#8217;t ask, you </p>
<p>don&#8217;t get,&#8221; he said.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 20.4pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 7.5pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Arial; </p>
<p>mso-ansi-language: EN;">Estimated retail prices fore the full packaged Windows 7 product in the United States range from $199.99 for the Premium edition to </p>
<p>$319.99 for the Ultimate variant. Upgrade pricing for Windows 7 ranges from $119.99 for the Home Premium edition to $219.99 for the Ultimate </p>
<p>product.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 20.4pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 7.5pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Arial; </p>
<p>mso-ansi-language: EN;">Windows 7 offers features like a redesigned Windows TaskBar that are intended to make a PC simpler and easier to use. The latest in </p>
<p>the Windows line would follow the much-maligned Vista, which has been criticised over issues such as performance, compatibility and cost.</span></p>

<p>style="font-size: small;">Fring is based on a unique thin-client technology that enables true VoIP over 3G, Edge, GPRS and Wi-Fi networks. Fring dynamically </p>
<p>adapts itself to the optimal network and handset characteristics while enabling seamless roaming VoIP on multiple networks.</span></span></p>
<p </p>
<p>class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" </p>
<p>style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">Fring supports various applications including Skype, MSN </p>
<p>Messenger, Google Talk, ICQ, SIP, Facebook, Yahoo Messenger, AIM, Gmail, Twitter and more.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm </p>
<p>0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span </p>
<p>style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">Fring uses mobile connectivity for VoIP over 3G, Edge &amp; GPRS (previously only available over </p>
<p>broadband or very recently High speed Mobile Connectivity – HSDPA)</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span </p>
<p>style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">Fring does all the work for you, it automatically logs you into your favorite Wi-Fi hotspots </p>
<p>which saves you time and hassle without having to configure your access point each time.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm </p>
<p>0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span </p>
<p>style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">This means that if you are out of Wi-Fi reception, Fring will automatically connect via your 3G </p>
<p>connection. When Fring detects Wi-Fi is available, it will automatically re-connect.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm </p>
<p>0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span </p>
<p>style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">Features include live chat with contacts over various platforms, the ability to transfer files </p>
<p>between devices and the most useful function for me being VoIP. You can configure Fring to connect to your SIP provider. This means taking the office to the </p>
<p>road! Never miss a call again!</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm </p>
<p>0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">Some mobile phones have the SIP feature built-in, for phones that do not have this </p>
<p>funtionality Fring is the answer! All your mobile needs a 3G connection or Wi-Fi capability.</span></span></p>
