We miss you Windows Live OneCare :(

Microsoft’s Windows Live OneCare (WLOC) Security suit was one of the best Security Suit I ever used. Of course, OneCare 1.0 was really a buggy one. Later one version 1.5 is quite ok.

The versions 2.x were really rocking one. Microsoft lately realized what consumer wants.  And they did it in version 2.x but that was already late.  Competitors in the market captured that slot.  Microsoft has no option and decided to dump it.  Instead they are now offering free anti-malware suite called Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE).

Compare to MSE or any other Security Suites, I still like the WLOC.

WLOC is light on system.

Faster Scanning.

Better Detection rates.

Silent updates.

Easy to use.

Hassle free installation.

Very reasonably priced.

Windows Live OneCare is a fantastic product from Microsoft.

We really missed you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Windows Live OneCare was discontinued on 30.Jun.2009.

Windows Vista Boot Manager Error

Friday, June 6th, 2008

Yesterday I have compressed my laptop hard disk usually C: [ C Drive ] it took some hours to compress it.  After than, I shut down my laptop.  Today, morning I opened my laptop.  Suddenly I got the error “Bootmgr is compressed” press ctrl+alt+del to restart computer.  I restarted my laptop couple of times.  Even though no use.  I decided to format my laptop.  But in a fraction of seconds,  I thought why don’t we Google the problem.  Then I searched it in Google as ” Bootmgr is compressed ” .  I clicked on first link i.e non-sponsored link. 

Forum Help.  There  I scrolled down and I found my solution.  The user called “knarfishness” posted the solution.  Here is the solution.

” Heh, I found an easier way to fix this, and registered just to tell you, ><.
Boot from the Vista DVD.
Click ‘Repair my Computer’
At the prompt to select your OS installation, click the button that says ‘Load Drivers’. This should bring up a explorer-style drive browser.
Then just right-click on the drive you tried to compress, and deselect ‘Compress this Drive’, which should still be ticked on. Hit apply, and apply to subfolders/files.Reboot.Fixed it for me in a hurry, hope this helps someone else. “

I did same as mentioned above.  I got my OS back without any hassle.  Thanks to the Forum and Knarfishness.  Thanks Google.
