Hi Turkbear, Your suggestion works just perfect :) Thanks! As to your question why I'd want this message removed: I am using 2 custom vbscripts to shut down and restart a notebook, in which SyncToyCMD.exe is called to synchronize a set of folders before shutting down or restarting. This...

Hi all, When running "shutdown.exe /s /t 00" from a command prompt, I see this popup message that tells me that " Windows will shut down in less than a minute". Is there a way to get rid of this message? Thanks in advance!

Hi there people, A friend of mine has recently purchased a HP Pavilion dv6815ed notebook, that came with Windows Vista Home edition. Not liking the OS, the tried downgrading to Windows XP Professional with a Retail CD. So, a few frustrating days later, I'm assigned installing the OS. Finding...

Hi, I uninstalled Quicktime yesterday and since I am unable to play embedded MPEG files prom Internet Explorer 6.. How can I make IE6 to use WMP11 to play these embedded video files? Dennis

Well, I disabled everything as you advised, but I'm still having the same issues. The Ethernet card is reachable. The Wireless card is not. Any new suggestions? ;)

Can you specify the device brand & type, and what application it is you 'check'? You may manually start the Wireless Zero Configuration service. [START->Run, type services.msc, hit [ENTER].

Thanks, I'll check both options. I just found different reviews on Avast 4.7, and some state the package does contain a Firewall, where others imply it doesn't...

I have a PC running Windows XP Professional SP2 with 2 network devices installed: - LAN: Realtek 8139 10/100 | IP: 192.168.20.141 - WLAN: Hawking Wireless-G HABTP54G | IP: 192.168.20.142 When I first ran VNC Server, I was unable to connect to both the devices. I was not able to ping either of...

Thanks for yoru reply. I used a 190W CPU from a Dell Barebone but still te same symptoms. I also replaced RAM & CPU, but nothing changed anything. I think I can now finally conclude the mainboard is defective. Getting a replacement for the GA-8ILFL is gonna take a lot of time if at all...

Hi, I have this Gigabyte FA5CB (v1.0) (http://www.giga-byte.nl/Products/Barebone/Products_Spec.aspx?ProductID=1965) barebone that does not boot any more. The following symptoms apply when pushing the POWER button: - Power LED lights up simultaneously - HDD LED does not do anything - I get no...

OK. Wiping the disk with Acronis Disk Director did the trick. Thanks bcastner for your effort!

Hi bcastner, I updated my BIOS after my second post here, because I found this tip on a Dutch website, where people with the same issues found this a solution. This however didn't provide me with any success.. I pulled my HDD from the SATA port on the mainboard, and booted from the Windows XP...

Hi bcastner, My PC is absolutely NOT overclocked in any way. The issue with the mainboard is that the Deluxe version has eveything onboard. (USB, FireWire, LAN, USB) The only part I can possibly exchange is my VGA adapter, which at this time is a AGP 4x type, which is appx. 4 years old. I...

Hi I have had AMD Athlon 3000+ on an Asus K8N-Deluxe mainboard for a while now. Until this day it has been running fine under Fedora Core 5. Now that I want to install Windows XP Professional on my computer, I can't seem to get past the 'Setup is checking your hardware configuration' screen...

Any error messages?
