There are reported instances where some notebook programs continue to display pop up reminders even after the user performs the requested action. In most of these instances, the program did not remove the Task Scheduler entry and the pop-up message displays each time the Task Scheduler starts.

To stop the pop-up message action from repeating, the user must run the Task Scheduler program and manually remove the entry.

Remove an automatic action from Task Scheduler
To prevent automated tasks from starting multiple times, remove the entry from the Task Scheduler by performing the following actions:

1.  Click Start, type Scheduler in the search field, and select Task Scheduler when it appears.  If prompted for permission, click Continue.
2.  In the left column, click Task Scheduler Library.
3.  In the center column, select the task you want to stop.
4.  In the right column, click Delete, and then click Yes to confirm deletion.
5.  Close the Task Scheduler window.

The task or reminder will no longer begin automatically.

Tears of joy

Just updated my Ubuntu kernel, and now VirtualBox no longer works.  I ran

• sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

And kept getting an error message that the Makefile was not working due to too many unresolved links.

After several hours of poking around and playing around I was able to get things working again. Hopefully this will benefit you as well.

Using the Synaptic Package Manager I downloaded

• linux-headers
• linux-image
• linux-restricted-modules
• linux-source
• linux-ubuntu-modules
• dkms

for the version of the Ubuntu 8.04 operating system I am using when I run “uname -r”.  Mine happens to be 2.6.24-26-generic.

After you install all of these you may have to reboot.  It should not hurt anything.

I did some digging around /lib/modules/2.6.24.26-generic/build and found two broken symbolic links for Makefile and Kbuild.  These pointed back to the directory /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-26-generic.  Inside there is no Makefile nor Kbuild to point to.

After much consternation I did the following:

# cd /usr/src

# sudo tar xvjf  linux-source-2.6.24

# sudo mv linux-headers-2.6.24-26-generic   linux-headers-2.6.24-26-generic.orig

# sudo cp -r linux-source-2.6.24   linux-headers-2.6.24-26-generic

# sudo   /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

This took a few minutes and I wept tears of joy when it completed without errors.

Now I lost VirtualBox icon from my Applications menu, but I can run it from the command line

#  /usr/bin/VirtualBox &

Good luck

So I wanted an online CRM/ERP package to keep track of what was happening in my company.  I saw that there were hundreds of open-source solutions available and narrowed it down to these:

• SugarCRM
• Compiere
• Zimbra
• vTiger
• egroupware
• TUTOS
• Cynapse
• Daffodil CRM
• Hipergate
• OpenCRX
• Civicrm

I finally chose vTiger because it fit most of my requirements

1. Full size calendar.
2. Sales planning and progression tools.  Looks very nice.  Hope it works as good as it looks
3. Contacts have the ability to be categorized.
4. Can run email campaigns.

Other nice functions are that it appears that it will be easy to import and export contacts and calendars.

egroupware was a close second for me, but I could not get the email to work. I might have been able figure it out, but it is time for me to sell.

Here is why I did not choose the others from what I can remember.

• Compiere – required Oracle DB
• Zimbra – no sales forecasting tools
• SugarCRM – no recurring events option for calendar
• TUTOS – no sales forecasting
• Cynapse (cyn.in) – over-collaboration with chat & more
• Daffodil CRM – no sales tools I believe
• Hipergate – no calendar
• OpenCRX – no viewable calendar
• Civicrm – too difficult for me to get Calendar features to work with Drupal

If you want to try these out, I suggest you type in the product name to google and the word “demo”.  For example, “hipergate demo”.  Most of these firms have demos that you can drive and you can see if it will work for your purposes.
