Just finished loading some work related database software on home rig for after hours work.
Ok get this
It writes to the registry (thank god automatically now), needs to be run as a service, but didn't require a reboot. I thought all apps that did that sort of thing required a computer reboot:confused:
Logged into the database and it appears to be running smoothly. ***, shows how much l know...
A lot of things can be added to windows without requiring a reboot nowadays.
Like communications protocols, services, applications ... etc.
It also depends on what is being written to the registry. If it is program specific i.e. nothing to do with Windows, then it shouldn't require a restart...if it is altering some Windows setting then it might...it just depends! It also varies with OS as well.
:eek: thought u were gonna ask about those fancy squeezy sauce satchels...
No BB... those will have him baffled for years yet;) hehe
Hey SoCalled.... how's my new machine going????????
A user-mode program should only need a reboot if it overwrites a DLL that is in already in use, I thought.
Coolio, still getting conflicting advise about hard drives etc. They are still mechanical so for your use, we want to make a good decision.Quote:
