Snipping Tool on Vista

3 Feb 2009

I wanted to take a screen shot of part of a website that I'm building at the moment. Googled around for 'Vista screenshot' and discovered the Vista Snipping Tool.

I've been trying on and off for about six months to get my Apple Wireless Bluetooth keyboard working on Vista 64. The first part of the puzzle was finding a bluetooth dongle that had support for Vista 64. Most only support Vista 32. Here's the one I found:

Vista tftp client

27 Jan 2009

I'm trying to upload an image to a router at the moment and to do this I need a tftp client. I'm running Vista Ultimate (64 bit) and it doesn't have a tftp client installed as default. It's hidden away in 'Turn Windows features on or off'. Nice one :)

Vista 64

28 Dec 2007

I've been toying with the idea of upgrading my desktop machine from Vista 32 to Vista 64 for two reasons. Firstly I've got a 64bit dual core AMD processor and I want to use it! Secondly I want to be able to use all of the memory in the PC; it's got 4GB and whilst 2^32 is 4.1GB, by the time you take off the video memory and some other hardware reservations the useable memory is about 3.5GB.
