Microsoft confirmed Tuesday that it has stopped automatic updates of Vista to Service Pack 1 in the wake of a newly discovered glitch.

The problem, which has also halted the availability of Windows XP Service Pack 3, prevents Microsoft Dynamics Retail Management System from working with either operating system update.

“We are temporarily holding any additional automatic distribution of Windows Vista SP1,” Microsoft said in response to an inquiry from CNET News.com. The company said it will continue to make Vista SP1 available for manual download. Microsoft had just started pushing out the Vista service pack last week via automatic updates.

“While we are recommending that customers running Microsoft Dynamics RMS should not install SP1, there are many other customers who can benefit from installing Windows Vista SP1 immediately, so we are maintaining availability via (Windows Update),” Microsoft said. “We are delaying the release of Windows XP SP3 and holding any additional automatic distribution of Windows Vista SP1 as a precaution and to help ensure that our customers have a great experience with Windows.”

The company has not yet described the problem, beyond saying it is a “compatibility issue.” I have also asked for data on how the problem was discovered, why it took until XP SP3 to find it, and how many users run Dynamics RMS.

Ever since I have changed to the new laptop which comes with the Windows Vista Business edition, I’ve been facing challenges to find the drivers as well as techniques in order to boost the performance and compatibility issues in Vista.

This time I would like to share with you how did I boost my Vista machine performance with a Paid version software, which I got it totally free of charge.

The software that  I want to introduce to you is, Auslogics BoostSpeed 4 !

It has been used and recommended by many Vista experts ever since the born of Vista in order to boost the Vista machine, to become faster and working stabily.

As you can see from the screen above, Auslogics BoostSpeed can do Registry cleaning, Disk Cleaning and Disk Defragmentation. There is another function not showing up there is the System Protection, which was disable during my testing of it.

On my testing, it did found 7,000+ registry errors, and 600+ disk errors. It then help to fix those errors instantly, with 1 error on the disk cleaning which required me to further checking on it.

The part that I like is the Disk Defragmentation, which took about 15 to 20 minutes to defrag my 100GB harddisk. This is considered VERY FAST if compared to the ‘traditional’ Windows defragtation process.

If you are using Vista, this is the tool that I strongly encourage you to download the try it out.

Oh, by the way, if you downloaded from the website, the software is a trial version which is valid for 15 days. You will need to buy a license in order to make full use of it.

However, here I would like to tell you an ‘open secret’ way to get it free.

First, go to the download page of this software: 

http://www.auslogics.com/en/software/boost-speed/download

Look at the right column which is stated “CAN I GET IT FOR FREE?”. 

It explain how you could get a license free by simply put a link on your blogs, websites, or mention it on the forum. Then submit your website or forum links using the “Contact us” page, the support team will provide you with the ncessary info to register the product.

One thing I’m impressed with this software support team is his FAST & PROMPT replies. Within 2 minutes, I got my license and registered my Auslogics BoostSpeed software.

I hope you will enjoy this software as well as the speed performance after using the software.

Feel free to give your comments.

Thank you.

In recent days, the stock market has taken some mighty big tumbles. If you’re an investor, your brokerage account probably isn’t as big as it was a few months ago. And you probably have a horrible feeling in your stomach right about now. I get that feeling every time my account drops in value. But what makes it even worse is thinking that I might lose even more.

Fear is one of the biggest enemies to successful investing. Greed is another enemy. When the market is dropping fast, both of these emotions will work against you and cause you to make terrible decisions with your money.

Fear will tell you that you’re about to lose everything. And greed will tell you to take action to preserve what you have left. And the most likely action you’ll take is to sell when the market is coming down. Bad decision!

Scripture tells us repeatedly not to worry, not to fear, and not to be greedy. Instead, it tells us to put our confidence in Christ, knowing He will take care of us and give us the ability to make wise decisions. Trouble is, we know what is right. It’s just tough to do.

How many times have you been told to buy low and sell high? Well, the only way to do that is to overcome fear and greed. When the market is dropping, and your emotions are pushing you to sell, you have to resist. In fact, you have to look for opportunities to do just the opposite. These market drops are fantastic opportunities to buy in when prices are low. It’s now a buyer’s market. Sellers want out and they’re willing to sell at a deep discount.

This is true in every market, including real estate. I’m a big fan of real estate. I think it’s a fantastic long-term investment. But real estate right now doesn’t seem like a good investment because of the subprime mortgage mess. On the contrary, now is a great time to buy. Buyers can get a great deal if they’re willing to look around and overcome the fear they feel.

In order to do this, you have to be willing to do just the opposite when the markets are up. Emotions will tell you it’s time to buy more when you’ve just made a lot of money. But at that point, your risk goes up and you need to sell some of your investment to protect yourself.

For instance, when the Dow hit 14,000 last year, it was time to sell at least some of your position. And those of you who bought gold as an investment (not as an insurance policy), should consider selling some of your ounces. I’m not saying the investment won’t go higher, but you’ve got to raise money when your investments go up. And the only way to do that is to sell a portion. That way you’ll have some cash to buy other investments that are selling for much better prices.

Emotion can ruin a relationship. But if you manage emotions properly, your relationships and your investments will be in much better shape. Here are four quick tips to help you make wise decisions with your investments:

1) When you feel like everything is lost and all you want to do is sell – that’s when you need to begin buying.

2) When you feel like everything is going your way, you don’t think you can lose (notice the pride in this thought), and you’re ready to buy – it’s time to begin selling.

3) Take small steps. Don’t sell everything at one time. And don’t buy everything at one time. Small steps will help you avoid big mistakes.

4) Don’t look for the exact top or the exact bottom. It’s almost impossible to sell at the very top. Selling in small increments will help equalize your sell price at a good average. And don’t look for the bottom to begin buying. It’s just as tough to find as the top. Buying in small increments will give you a good average price to build your portfolio on. Trying to time the exact top and the exact bottom is a subtle form of greed – one of the emotions that will work against you.

Following these simple steps will help you maximize your profits regardless of the market’s direction.
