How do you remove that annoying popup in IE 6.05 now that says "This page has been restricted from running active content....."? I've gone in and screwed around with some of the security settings and I just can't find the trigger to get that annoying thing off.

Has anyone ever had the recycle bin ask if you would like to delete the windows folder? I have had this happen twice but I dont know how to reproduce it. All I know is that if you put stuff in the recycle bin, empty it by right clicking on the desktop icon...then it emptys like normal but the icon still says its full. So the I try to empty it again, but then it asks me if I would like to delete the folder 'Windows'. Of course I say no, and then the trash icon looks normal, like it is empty. I cannot reliably reproduce this though :( so i dont know whether I should file it.

Here a question for anyone who actually a tester....What does External and Duplicate mean on the bug tracking form *Always Wanted to Know What That Means* :blush:

Duplicate = Someone has already filed this very same bug.

External =

1. Mean that this buf is transfered to some other Microsoft internal bug database for some product group to fix it.

2. or It means that this bug is due to some other software not due to the operating system

General Stupid I think leaking this build is:

a. Against all the Microsoft NDA's

b. Maybe against the Neowin rules "No Warez (links) & Cracks: help, requests or posts that discuss circumvention. This includes linking to software, posting about it, and suggesting to get it."

c. May get us in trouble.

Lets try and keep it for offical testers please

Let me make something clear:

1. Believe me when I say that Microsoft WILL do something about if they found out that you are leaking a PRIVATE beta software. Freeware or no freeware.

2. Just because something is freeware doesn't mean that you can leak it to everyone. The reason for this being that at this stage, SP2 is a PRIVATE beta and before you can officially get SP2 from Microsoft, you have to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement first. You will be legally breaking the law if you leak a private BETA software to the public.

i had that happen to me once, just reboot and it'll be gone

Well you are posting the link on a forum where it is deemed illegal, and as such going against forum rules, I am sure a mod will deal with this appropriately ...

I and others at Neowin have worked hard at creating this thread to keep Neowin members informed as to the progress of SP2 and the details of what it is due to contain, etc.

The Neowin Mods, for this section of the site, have deemed that posting a leak to this build is likely to cause action against neowin.

If you persist in breaking the rules, you run the risk of having this thread locked, and wasting the work put in by myself and others in maintaining this thread.

Please Stop.

Has anyone have any trouble in regards to DVD's or anything? It seems that sometimes when I insert a DVD my computer will jsut lock for no reason and I can't pin it down to anything except SP@, should I file a big report?

This DVD issue seems pretty serious,

just by the way you describe it,

you should file a bug report,

if MS receives many notifications of this same problem,

they will judge that it's related to their software.

And hence correct it

are you possibly using either AnyDVD or DVD Region/Idle at all? They both cause the problems mentioned :(

I have contacted the authors of these programs many times now with now joy :(

If you don't use any of these programs then a bug report to microsfot is a must, in fact send the bug report anyway (Y)

    • Claude on Windows is eating up massive amounts of RAM, with no way to stop it

      By TheGhostPhantom · Posted

      This article does not make sense and it’s very evident, the bug wasn’t confirmed to exist, because the application itself runs on editions of Windows which make it impossible to run Hyper-V VMs on, “Basically, Claude Desktop on Windows spins up a 1.8GB Hyper-V virtual machine if you use Claude Cowork or agent mode even once.”, suggests the bug is caused by something else otherwise it would only happen to users with the capability of running Hyper-V VMs and that’s only if Hyper-V was enabled which is by default not enabled. The true issue is that the author who reported the bug used the incorrect terminology.
    • Stack Overflow is launching a version of itself for AI agents

      By TheGhostPhantom · Posted

      “To prevent hallucination issues and keep the database clean, the platform uses a multi-agent verification loop to check code quality.” - This absolutely isn’t happening. ”Before the massive rise of LLMs, which tanked its traffic by about 50% over the last couple of years, Stack Overflow was the go-to website for millions of programmers seeking coding solutions.” - It still is trusted, because the community of users, blocked other users from submitting false and misleading answers generated by AI agents that can be convinced something it generated is actually incorrect even if it’s actually correct. The company itself doesn’t know what it wants to be so it keeps trying and failing to introduce AI features to the platform. This effort will also fail, already submitted one successful poison pill, look forward to generating more.

    • Proton releases Proton Drive CLI for Windows, Mac, and Linux

      By noobient · Posted

      Completely irrelevant as long as pricing is garbage. With OneDrive I get storage for about $18 / TB for a year. With Proton it's $96. For the record, Google One is around $48, Dropbox $69, iCloud $60. In other words, Proton is the worst value BY FAR. Not to mention with OneDrive I get full desktop and web office suites for 6 people.
