XP Mode Is Done

Illustration

Only days separate us from being able to download final release of Windows XP mode. As of yesterday, it has hit RTM milestone.

Those that already have RC installed should not see big difference and hopefully seamless upgrade will be possible.

QText 2.20

Illustration

QText is small “notepadish” program for taking quick notes. In order to avoid data loss, it auto-saves everything you type.

For new version, changes are:

  • Fix: Window restoring via shortcut.
  • Fix: Clipboard bug (Requested Clipboard operation did not succeed).
  • Added Find option.

And last change is finally attaching a license to program. I opted for MIT license if anybody cares.

Wireless in Windows Server 2008 R2

Illustration

If you use/test Windows Server 2008 R2 on your laptop, you will notice that your wireless adapter is disabled by default. And you will also notice that you cannot enable it no matter how many times you try. Problem is that wireless connection requires Wireless Zero Configuration service running and that one is not installed by default.

Illustration

Only step that is required is adding “Wireless LAN Service” feature. Just go to “Server Manager”, select “Features” and after you click on “Add Feature”, you will get list with quite few features to select from. Only one that we need is “Wireless LAN Service”.

After quick installation (no reboot is required), your wireless is available once more.
