• SharePoint 2007 memory errors

  When reviewing the Application Event Log on a Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 server, I noticed that I was getting six different error messages are regular intervals. Event ID 7076 - Attempted to read or write to protected memory Event ID 7076 - Exception from HRESULT 0x80005006 Event ID 6482 - Attempted to read or write to protected memory Event ID 6482 - Exception from HRESULT 0x80005006 Event ID 6398 - Attempted to read or write to protected memory Event ID 6398 - Exception from HRESULT 0x80005006 After scratching my head for a few minutes, I found a really simple solution. There is a hotfix for .NET 2.0 which seems to resolve all of the above error messages. The hotfix is documented in Microsoft KB923028, and it does not require a restart of the server. However, please understand that it will stop IIS and all of the services associated with SharePoint.

• Intel wireless drivers on Windows Vista

  I just began using a new Lenovo T60p that came pre-loaded with Windows Vista Business. The machine is wonderful, and is easily the best experience I have had with Windows Vista to date. Recently I started noticing some reliability problems with the built-in Intel 3945ABG WLAN card, and this is a big deal for me because I use wireless nearly 100% of the time. The problem was sporadic, but it would happen when moving between locations and bringing the system out of Sleep or Hibernation mode. The wireless card would be in a powered off state, and the only way to get it working again was a reboot. After some digging, I realized that Vista was installing version 10.6.0.15 of the Intel driver for the card by default. This version has some known performance and reliability issues, and Intel recommends that version 11.1.1.11 be installed. So far, simply updating the drivers has saved me from any unnecessary system reboots.
