On my Windows 7 machine, the form looks all sexified (just like all the other windows 7 windows) and the color is not what I had set in the designer. Is there some sort of style option th...

I have an application that reads/writes from/to message queues on remote application servers. The clients usually run on machines outside of the servers' domains/forests with no trust setup.

I just bought an Acer Aspire 5551. Nifty little laptop, great price. Last night, I tried Acer Backup Manager for the first time.

I'm developing websites in a Windows 7 machine. When I've installed Firefox I've found some performance issue specially on connecting to the localhost, googling around I've discovered that it's related to the use of IPv6 by the browser to resolve urls. Using about: config and setting network.dns.disableIPv6 to true the problem is gone...
I just upgraded my development machine from Windows XP to Windows 7 Pro 64. On both OS's, I was using VS 2008 SP1. For some reason, VS randomly complains about one of the dlls that gets built being in use by another process and that process is always VS (devenv.exe). It's something like this, but I've tried lots of different fixes and...

We've got a VB6 application that reads a simple text file with a .LIC file extension. When everything is working correctly, if the file exists in the same directory as the executable, it reads it.
