Fxing update issues after installing SP3 on XP

Some may find that their automatic updates fail to install properly after upgrading to Service Pack 3 for Windows XP, this is caused by the file Wups2.dll having its registry references removed/corrupted - to fix this issue, please type the following in a command prompt:

1. net stop wuauserv
2. regsvr32 %windir%\system32\wups2.dll
3. net stop wuauserv

This will then allow you to install all remaining updates without trouble.

i-mate JASJAM and MiniSD Adapters

After testing a SanDisk and Kingston 2GB MicroSD card in two types of MiniSD adapter, it appears they cannot be detected by the device, even though it is clearly stated around the place that 2GB is supported (running Windows Mobile 5.0 and the lastest Australian firmware from i-mate 2.16.9.1)

Making Tasks copmleted on BlackBerry disappear…

I’ve just found an interesting phenomena in regards to Outlool ’07’s To-Do bar and tasks completed on my BlackBerry (running on BES 4.1, BlackBerry OS 4.2.1 ) when marking the tasks as complete on the BB they do not not disappear from the list as they would if marked completed completed within Outlook, instead they just appear with a line through them.

This occurs because the BlackBerry does not fill out the date completed field in the task hence meeting the default requirement of Date Completed: Does not exist and thus staying in the task list (note for tasks to disappear completely they must be flaged complete and have a completion date)
