Why are you using VB6? Do you hate yourself? (Christian Graus)One of the screws was loose on the catflap, but, while they were repairing it, they damaged the door panel, so it had to be replaced. Then they couldn't get the same paint batch, so they had to replace repaint (dufus error) the whole door, and they figured that they might as well try a new colour, so they did that, and also had to change the curtains for the downstairs windows, because the green paisley no longer went well with the door colour. Naturally, changing the curtains meant that they had to change the sofa and chairs in the lounge, and the coffee table was about due for replacement, anyway, so they redid the lounge completely, including painting the walls, and, since they had wall paint left over, they also did the hallway. That's why it was so big. The bad news is that, now that they've repainted the hallway, the colour of door stands out badly, so they will be repainting it with a new colour, next month.

... yet the sad truth of it all is, the real problem wasn't with the catflap, but the Oxgyenizational Intake Turbolizer. Maybe they fix that in SP2, Extra Ginormous Ed.

Why are you using VB6? Do you hate yourself? (Christian Graus)That's nothing: Installing VS2k8 Service Pack 1. 5gigs diskspace needed. My Visual Studio 2k8 (no service pack) folder is only 1.7gigs. :omg: :wtf: Sadly this means I can't patch my vs until I can free a ton of space (probably by temporarily removing music files) from my pathetically small 60gb drive.

Ahh, then it would have no effect at all on my windows development box. That is unless there is code in there to detect MFC or Qt.

You can't turn lead into gold, unless you've built yourself a nuclear plant.

Could be an SSD or a laptop drive. My laptop has a drive of that size.

It's a 2 year old laptop. IT kept that as the standard drive size until dell stopped offering it. Apparently there were enough IT depts doing the same that for a while dell was actually writing custom HD BIOSes to short stroke the drives. There's even a too to ID/fix drives it was done to, unfortunately it won't work on boot drives and pulling my HD from the laptop, putting it in an enclosure, and connecting it to my personal PC to see if it's fixable is just *slightly* outside the acceptable use policy. :doh: My old laptop contracted OS rot 3 years into its 4 year life cycle; instead of re-imaging it I was issued a 1 year old return instead. 6mo later they started giving new laptops with 120's. If I hadn't've kicked up a storm then I'd have one of them now. I'd've rather waited a year for a bigger drive than to replace my pentium mobile with a core 2 and keep the small one. :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: The timing on this one's life cycle is such that if they do it similar to Nehalem I'll probably end up just miss getting a Sandy Bridge based laptop when its replaced. :((

And while moving in the sofa, someone accidently dented the catflap.

Yeah - download failed here, 2 other updates either side dowloaded and installed fine. Probably as well, if it ain't broke and all that ;)

Why are you using VB6? Do you hate yourself? (Christian Graus)I tried to install the enormous fix file. Windows Update failed to install it, so I ran it manually and it gave "VC Libraries QFE Patch does not apply, or is blocked by another condition on your system. Please click the link below for more details." The link only suggested that my installer was out of date. Updated it (again) but still the same message. I suspect that as I do not have C++ installed there are no components to update.

Maybe that's it, I didn't install C++ either.
