2 quick questions

First, ZA pops up a box on every start up asking for permission for FD-ISR to act as a server. Why does it need to act as a server? Up to now I have always denied permission and have had no froblems with my images.

Secondly, I read a notation in the read me file for version 3.2 that registry cleaners should not be used with FD-ISR. Is this something new in this version? I have used reg cleaners for the past year with FD-ISR version 1.73 and have no adverse affects on my back-ups.

Thanks for any help,

Ed

 

finish the sentence: "...should not be used to delete registry keys associated with FirstDefense-ISR"

So far my choice of registry cleaner, System TuneUp, has not caused problems.

 

Thanks for the reply. I was working from memory of the text file entry, which evidently isn't too good anymore, when I asked about the reg cleaners.

Do you have any info on the need for FD wanting to act as a server?

see here regarding the server permissions

 

Thanks again. So it's only wanting to act as server if you are storing image archives to a remote server? I deny server permission, yet it is still always listening on port 48288. If I block this in my firewall, should not be a problem then?

My firewall blocked it (accidently?) and it hasnt caused any problems.

 

WSFuser,

Thanks for all of your input. You cleared up what I needed to know, as you usually do.

I noticed you have a link to nLite in your signature. I checked it out and it looks interesting, but it is only for XP Pro? I run "Home SP2b".

Thanks

Ed

 

no problem

as for nlite it is meant for 2000/xp/2003.

 

No, port 48288 has nothing to do with storing image archives to a remote server.
