Well guys, this new year is certainly a special one to me.. My mom’s PC FINAAALLLLYYYYYY got done with.. and its only just that I gave her my old pc(A P4 2.4Ghz). I hand picked my own components that were needed, as well as those which fit into the budget dad imposed..

Here’s the configuration:

Total came to 33,500/- I took this long to say about this was a testing phase. so far, PC’s performance is great…

Well, Blog is updated. (TCHA)

Recently, I have downloaded WinXP Sp2 (Legal version downloaded Illegally). It was named as “Windows XP SP2 Unattended edition”. I thought “what the heck” and removed my Server2003, installed this one..

As the installation proceeded, I was amazed, that the name was rightly used. Totally Unattended. The Best thing about this installation is WPI - Windows Post Installation Utility. It had a comprehensive collection of tools, categorized, ready to be installed on a click of the button. The user can select the applications that he/she wants, press Begin Install, go out for shopping and when you return, the smart little thing has done everything for you..

Installation time on a P4 2.4 Ghz = 48 minutes.

By the way, the CD contains:

303 MB - OS Setup files
399 MB - Utilities

All in one CD!

Well, Of all the days, Tomorrow I have my OOPS model examinations. I thought of preparing for the one question I like the most, which is Exception Handling. I prepared a neat “ESSAY” for 6 pages, content that my new lame ass Lecturer would fall for the page count. Then after, when I tried to print, I got the error “Printer Driver not installed” from my new Ultra fast WinServer 2003 OS. Strike one. I inserted my Driver CD and began to install. After finishing the installation, I got the Error “INSTALLATION FAILED: Printer RPC Call Disabled”. Strike two.

Being smart as I already am, I simply went into Control Panel, Opened Adminstrative services, Opened “Services” and scrolled for Remote Procedure Call (RPC). There it was Enabled and set to Automatic. Strike three. I was at a loss! Then, Luckily, a few lines above that, was Printer RPC Call. That golden word struck my eye.. phew, As expected, It was disabled! So, I clicked it, enabled the thing and restarted.

After I finished Installation of my printer driver,… well,.. the printer worked.. thats it. what were ya expecting?
PS: Win 2003, Huh.. big deal! MCSE, here I come!!
