I’m in no way trying to bash Soluto for their efforts. Soluto is a great piece of software, but you got to know what feature to turn off or it will activetly use your proccessor. Remember that they are still in Beta, so I expect things like this to happen.
I noticed that my computer was acting a little sluggish when I got home from work last night. I opened up task manager and saw my cpu jumping around to about 20%. So, I saw that the process called SolutoService.exe was actively using resources. The memory consumption was around 35MB. 35MB isn’t bad, but the cpu’s consumption is what I cared about.
I right clicked on soluto to see what was going on and I noticed that the feature called “Ongoing Frustration Research” was turned on. I probably enabled it when I installed the software, but I’m not sure. But as soon as I disabled the feature the proccessor stopped jump around. The memory dropped from 35MB to 2MB.

Operating System: Windows XP
Type: BSOD
Error: C000021a
I didn’t document this very well because we had to return the workstations back to our customers as soon as possible. We had two different models of Dells blue screen after they had their Windows updates applied on 8/12/2010.
On the first computer we removed the updates with ERD commander. With the second computer we just did a system restore back before the updates were applied. Also, they had some malware and trojans hiding on the filesystems. I believe that these infected files plus the new Micrsoft updates didn’t play well with one another hince causing the c000021a stop error on boot up.
We cleaned the machines and reapplied the updates and all seemed well. We tried to just remove the infected files, but we still got the blue screens. It was only after we had removed the udpates that the systems would boot into normal mode.
That is all.

Comcast has a new website for postmasters. Especially, those who are having trouble sending emails to Comcast customers. You can visit the new site by clicking here. I’ve seen a lot of blog post on the interwebs about how people have a tough time trying to get off Comcast’s blacklist. You just got to remember to use your noodle and read. Also, remember there are universal guidelines you got to follow in the email world. The most common mistake I see is rDNS or PTR records. Continue Reading....
