Meltdown!
A couple days ago the Vista Ultimate instance on my laptop when all Klingon on me: it was "a good day to die."
I'll never know why for sure. Indications point to COM+ and VMM giving up the ghost. They were good systems, may they rest in peace.
I tried to revive the old OS. It would run in Safe Mode and even Safe Mode with Networking, but that's just not the same as having all the functionality I know and love.
I've spent the last couple days (and nights) rebuilding a second instance of Vista Ultimate on the same machine. I'm about half done at this point. Today is SQL Server instances and Visual Studio Team System day.
It's not just the installs, there's the service packs and updates after the installations. Lots of installing.
But it's also an opportunity to rebuild the machine with a different configuration.
Back to installing...
