Yes, I do agree with you.  The error message does not make any sense.

There I was, having downloaded 1.3GB of CNC Demo, all ready to install on my Windows Vista when WinZip suddenly pops up an error message “the requested operation requires elevation”.  I clicked OK and nothing happened.  I tried reinstalling 3 times and the same thing happens.

Instead of double clicking the installation file, I right-clicked on the file and chose “Run as administrator”.  Woohoo… it worked.

I’ve got good news and bad news for you. The bad news is - GMail Notifier works on Windows 2000 and Windows XP. This is stated on the main page of GMail Notifier. To be honest, I did not test GMail Notifier on my newly installed Microsoft Windows Vista machine. I love GMail Notifier when I had it on Windows XP; where I can be alerted of incoming emails without the need to login to GMail.

When I moved over to Vista, I lost that functionality for a little while until I found out that…. (this is where I break the good news) Google Talk application acts like GMail Notifier for Vista users. Yes, all you need to do is to install Google Talk and you will be alerted of new emails like the screenshot below.

Actually, Google themselves did mention this on their site:

If you have the Google Talk client installed, you will automatically receive new mail notifications from Google Talk and you do not need to install the Notifier.

Namecheap recently announced their web hosting service offerings. If you are searching for a webhost or contemplating changing webhosts, do consider Namecheap’s services. Although I have not used them personally, I think Namecheap is not going to jeopardize their brand by providing substandard services.

And if you have made up your mind to purchase Namecheap’s hosting services, use this code “COUPONBYEMAIL” to receive a 15% discount.

I would love to hear your short review if you have used Namecheap’s hosting services.
