LoadTest troubles

After installing a loadtest Controller and an agent using the Visual Studio 2008 Beta 2

the controller indicated that the agent remained disconnected, 
after searching i found out that the user did not belong to the TeamTestAgentService user group on the controller, after adding this user the agent become ready.

another usefull utility is the AgentConfigUtil.exe tool.

You can also check the log files  for errors :   \LoadTest\agentConfigUtilSetup*.log file for errors.

Another possible error sis : “Rig failed to restart for controller . The following error was reported Cannot open VSTTController service on computer .”

This error occurs when the when the user tries to restart the rig from the Administer Test Controller dialog box, but the user doesn't belong to the Power User or Administrator group.

It's finally here. Opera 9.5

It's finally here.

Opera 9.5 Alpha has arrived, and of course i had to install it. 

Just for safety I installed it separate from my 9.23 installation.

 
 When I started it I was pleasantly surprised, it is even faster than 9.23,

And this for an alpha build, this promises for the release build :)

 

Some new items are :

• Performance
  
• Full history search (quite usefull)
  
• Improved site compatibility
  
• Access for everyone
  
• Improved platform integration
  
• Preview of bookmark and Speed Dial synchronization (very nice )
  
• Magic Windows build number (very important of course ;-) )

For some statistics that it is indeed fast :

Beware, it is an alpha build !

I have one problem and it crashes when I want to save a webpage to an mht file,

Otherwise I have no probems found yet, I will post if I find more.
