Hi Roman,

Thanks for your question. TCP/IP allows a computer name up to 63 characters. The 15 character limit you’re thinking of is for NetBIOS names and are enforced on networks that use NetBIOS or WINS even though TCP/IP allows a longer name.

This works for me until there is an update, then 2007 loses some of my most important preferences, .doc being one of them. Is there something else I can do to avoid have to reset this at each update?

Hello Mr.Glenn, I am currently preparing to become an MCSE and I just recieved Installing, configuring and Administering Windows XP 2nd Edition(Exam 70-270)and I found some incorrect information on Q & A section 2-57. Where is states the maximum length of a computer name if TCP/IP is installed is 63 characters when it should be 15. I got a little concerned is this just a typo or is there another revision of this book but quite honestly it makes me uneasy even though its insignificant detail but as the book goes more indepth I dont want to question the validity of the answers. Please let me know if I should be concerned on this matter

It’s been 3 years since the Vista team created this issue and still no fix released. Flash applications opening in browsers are particularly alarming. There is no way to turn them down before they open without turning all of your applications down.

I’m with mall…it has been years since vista’s release, and there is still no way to manually set a permanent “new application” or “new session” vista volume. Not even a way to set a default or maximum volume level. Vista’s volume mixer isn’t even ready for beta testing yet.

Looks like this worked. Checked in regedit like elstron had said but it was already saved as “doc” even when I upload it it’s still saying .docx

I don’t know when you last used OpenOffice Walter. The UI isn’t as clean as Office 2007, if you actually like 2007, but is comparable to 2003 so more familiar for most users.

And regarding features – I actually use OpenOffice for producing scientific posters now instead of Microsoft Office because it actually has far better graphics capabilities.

I have no idea what features you think are missing. The default styles mightn’t be as attractive, but the underlying functionality is in many cases better, probably because fewer resources are put into snazzy marketing gimmicks and more into software development.
