It appears a recent Windows XP Pro update has altered the operation of the security settings applets on all files and folders. It could be a SpyWare or other rogue software issue, but it is so deep, I doubt it.
After
-setting files READ ONLY and clearing the Archive attribute (manually or by backup)
-changing ANY of the SECURITY PERMISSIONS settings sets the Archive attribute again.
As you might recall, that used to be a common symptom of viruses that scanned desk so they might more easily determine which files they had yet to infect.
Probable problem update is one or several of
Downloaded 2006–2−22
Security Update for Windows XP (KB913446)
Security Update for Windows XP (KB911927)
Security Update for Windows Media Player (KB911564)
Security Update for Windows Media Player (KB911565)
Last previous update was back in mid January (KB9908519)
This is not an isolated problem either.
For a long time my system has been changing the A attribute even on NAME CHANGES. That is technically NOT a change of the file, even though some users might want to back that file up separately.
Clearly SET TO ARCHIVE on RENAME; should be an option.
BUT ARCHIVE ON CHANGE OF SECURITY CONDITIONS IS A TOTALLY WRONG CONCEPT, or SHOULD AGAIN AT LEAST BE AN OPTIONAL CHANGE. Archiving Windows data should be perhaps separated completely from file attributes, but then that would be a major improvement to Windows itself. You can’t set the files to be “not write” status FOR ANY USER or GROUP without becoming UNABLE TO CLEAR THE ARCHIVE ATTRIBUTE! It’s just insane!

Leo,
Just wanted to thank you for recommending Investintech’s Able to Extract. I was listening to episode 218 on my iPod this morning and heard you talk about it. I downloaded the free trial and it’s EXACTLY what I’ve been searching for for a long time. The OCR works really well and converts quickly and easily to Word, Text and Excel formats.

I have a problem where my CD drive no longer shows up in Windows Explorer. When I put a CD in, I can hear it spinning up but I can’t access the drive either through Windows Explorer or Run or anything. Also, when I was using TrueCrypt, I noticed that the D wasn’t assigned to any drive and it used to be my CD Drive. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks

I’ve used Data Rescue Classic back in the OS 9 days when I lost a drive, but it only recovered about 50% of the drive. Most of the files it recovered were graphic (.jpg) files. The caller may try the demo and see what happens.

This is the main problem with Linux, it isn’t standardized, eg. one shouldn’t install .deb packages in Ubuntu if they weren’t made for Ubuntu.

Why does Leo say in his commercial for Go To Meeting that MS Remote Desktop is “Not secure” This is what Microsoft says about Remote Desktop security
“Remote Desktop is encapsulated and encrypted within TCP. The activity involved in sending and receiving data through the RDP stack is essentially the same as the seven-layer OSI model standards for common LAN networking today. Data from an application or service to be transmitted is passed down through the protocol stacks, sectioned, directed to a channel (through MCS), encrypted, wrapped, framed, packaged onto the network protocol, and finally addressed and sent over the wire to the client.
The returned data works the same way only in reverse, with the packet being stripped of its address, then unwrapped, decrypted, and so on until the data is presented to the application for use. Key portions of the protocol stack modifications occur between the fourth and seventh layers, where the data is encrypted, wrapped and framed, directed to a channel and prioritized.”

Regarding the recorder cd burner, The Tascam DP-01FX is a unit which lists for $799, but is available at www.musiciansfriend.com for $599. If the user can’t wait for mail order, it is probably available at the local Guitar Center store. Before Garageband, I used Tascam products extensively and always found the quality and ease-of-use to be top-notch.

Hey Leo, I’m a serious gamer and I’m regretting going with the Athlon 64 4000, when a service or whatever launches in the background it slows down my games, some services worse than others. When iTunes for instance cheks for new podcast my game stops for about 60 seconds. I never had that happen on my P4 because of the fact that the P4′s have there Hyperthreading that simulates dual cores. Trust me dual core is best for gaming bause theres so much junk in windows in the background that dual cores is a massive help.

QBill in Huntington Beach - recommended video codecs

Leo,
I teach networking, communications and security at a local community college, so I teach my students a lot about the plumbing, but they often ask me about codecs.
While I know what they are and how their used, are they any recomendations about what are the minimum , required and desired? What about codec packs like K-LITE? And what are the best packs and their options?

Regarding the recorder cd burner, The Tascam DP-01FX is a unit which lists for $799, but is available at www.musiciansfriend.com for $599. If the user can’t wait for mail order, it is probably available at the local Guitar Center store. Before Garageband, I used Tascam products extensively and always found the quality and ease-of-use to be top-notch.

Just wanted to thank you for recommending Investintech’s Able to Extract. I was listening to episode 218 on my iPod this morning and heard you talk about it. I downloaded the free trial and it’s EXACTLY what I’ve been searching for for a long time. The OCR works really well and converts quickly and easily to Word, Text and Excel formats.

Sure it’s expensive, but it’s very very cool. I’m jealous. If there’s a negative (aside from the price) it’s the fact that it uses the Transmeta Crusoe processor. This increases batterylife dramatically, but reduces the speed somewhat. It’s not a great choice for gaming or other demanding applications, but should be perfect as an ultraportable office/Internet machine.

Why does Leo say in his commercial for Go To Meeting that MS Remote Desktop is “Not secure” This is what Microsoft says about Remote Desktop security “Remote Desktop is encapsulated and encrypted within TCP. The activity involved in sending and receiving data through the RDP stack is essentially the same as the seven-layer OSI model standards for common LAN networking today. Data from an application or service to be transmitted is passed down through the protocol stacks, sectioned, directed to a channel (through MCS), encrypted, wrapped, framed, packaged onto the network protocol, and finally addressed and sent over the wire to the client. The returned data works the same way only in reverse, with the packet being stripped of its address, then unwrapped, decrypted, and so on until the data is presented to the application for use. Key portions of the protocol stack modifications occur between the fourth and seventh layers, where the data is encrypted, wrapped and framed, directed to a channel and prioritized.”

MacBook Pro (#7): Sound quality — right speaker seems worse, certain apps affected
Sound quality — right speaker seems worse Users continue to report poor sound quality from the MacBook Pro under a variety of circumstances.
Mark Qandil reports that, in his case, the issue may be restricted to certain applications. He writes:
“The only noticeable issue so far is the sound quality. There is something else going on with the sound other than just hardware. I had no luck adjusting the equalizer in iTunes, as changes did not do anything. After 30 minutes I was able to adjust. The sound quality while using non apple applications such as VLC, or MPlayer sounds so much better than sounds from iTunes, or QuickTime player and even better than my G4 15″ 1.67 powerbook. Somehow it appears sound issue is related to apple applications.”
Meanwhile, users continue to note that the right speaker sounds significantly worse than the left speaker.

MacFixIt reader Jordan writes:
“I have a MacBook Pro 2.0GHZ and I definitely noticed a sound quality issue exactly as described here. Distortion in the right speaker noticeable at louder volumes.”
George Kopp corroborates:
“My MacBook Pro speakers exhibit the same behavior. The Left speaker sounds normal but the right speaker is tinny and weak. Overall, the volume of the speakers seems less than my G4 PowerBook too.”
David Schloss has a simple way for users to demonstrate the right-speaker distortion problem. He writes:
“I wanted to report I’m also experiencing the speaker issue with the MacBook Pro. It’s my right speaker as well. A simple test of this is to open up Adium with the Tokyo Train Station soundset on. This soundset uses a tone that rings using stereo, so it’s right, left, right. You can hear the distorted speaker clearly when doing this.”
Some users have found that turning the volume down slightly reduced distorion. One reader writes:
“When I first played a tune from one of my playlists I too got slightly distorted sound from my right-hand speaker but on closer inspection I realized that the volume was turned up fully. After adjusting it down a notch every thing was nice and clear. I’m not sure this ‘distortion’ can be described the fault of the MacBook Pro or typical with small speaker systems. My experience with the small speaker systems on laptops is that on full volume you get some distortion.”
Previous coverage: ◦ MacBook Pro (#5): Notes from service manual; Poor sound quality; more ◦ MacBook Pro #4: FireWire 800 cards for ExpressCard/34 slot on the way ◦ MacBook Pro #3: Ship date; Lack of third-party adapters; Adding a FireWire 800 port; ExpressCard issues ◦ MacBook Pro (#2): SuperDrive apparently not dual-layer; S-Video out gone; No internal modem

QCraig in Valencia - Dell wireless router with a Mac
He’s using WEP encryption and can’t get the Mac on the network. Macs don’t require Airport - they work fine with all Wi-Fi routers (I have never had trouble anywhere with my powerbook). WEP encryption is pretty funky to setup however. I recommend using the more secure WPA instead - it uses plain passwords instead of long hex strings and is simple to set up on Macs and Windows.
Unfortunately, she’s Cingular and they offer the clunky iPaq phones. The Audiovox with Smart Phone is probably a better choice there.

He teaches networking at Orange Coast College and wants to know what codecs you need these days. I recommend sticking with open standards like MPEG-4 and H.264.

QEarl in Santa Monica - Linspire as a desktop Linux
He says the best Linux for novice computer users is Linspire $60 plus $19.95/year to subscribe to the CNR installer database. Well worth checking out. I’ll review it this week.
QTom in Vista - Mozilla doesn’t scroll with the trackpad

cd ~
tar zxvf firefox*.tgz

If you want to stick a laptop up front, an inexpensive USB mic like the MacMice MicFlex would work, too, but synching the audio and video could be challenging.

The Samson C01U and Blue’s Snowball are uglier, but better quality, USB mics.
Bart suggests checking to see if you can tap into the church’s audio system.
