  1. Always glad to help. Cheers and Regards
  2. Well, I stand corrected. I had no idea. Cheers and Regards
  3. If power went out while you were installing, I would suggest doing a complete reinstall and make sure power doesn't go out this time. (At least you weren't flashing your BIOS.) Cheers and Regards
  4. And finally??? LOL Cheers and Regards my friend
  5. Were you trying to respond to cdob or what? Cheers and Regards
  6. I think it's more likely that it's part of the keyboard driver or chipset driver package that is specialized for that laptop, not part of XP itself. Cheers and Regards

    Thinking of GS5

    You have a trailing space in your link which causes it not to function. This works - http://reviews.cnet.com/samsung-galaxy-s5/ Cheers and Regards
  8. I saw this great description for the latest MS "Start Button": All it needs is an ackronym and a catchy jingle. Cheers and Regards
  9. Or maybe at least tell us WHICHI apps take a long time to install, and some details about your system such as OS (I assume Win7?), CPU, RAM, etc. And this: makes no sense at all. What does "full care" mean, and what links are bad? Cheers and Regards
  10. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ClearOS: Cheers and Regards
  11. If you are ever successful in deleting those restore points, we would be interested in hearing what worked. Good luck. Cheers and Regards
  12. Well, you were the one to first say you broke it. Cheers and Regards
  13. I think jumper was giving a suggestion to epic as a possible way for GoogleUpdate.exe to stop being regenerated. Cheers and Regards
  14. Correct. That is the behavior you will get with that build. A version of Aero Glass has NOT been made, and WILL NOT be made for that or any other leaked update. PERIOD. Versions of Aero Glass will ONLY be made for officially released versions of Windows 8.x. Cheers and Regards
  15. If, using WinPE, looking in "System Volume Information" on ALL disks in your system do not show those restore points the other utilities do not show, then it seems that those restore points might be "phantom" restore points that actually don't exist anymore. It reminds me of what happens when you delete an app manually by deleting it's folder in "Program Files". If afterwards you go to "Programs and Features" and try to delete it there you get a "that program does not exist" type of message and it offers to delete the entry. If you go through all the steps to delete all restore points, then you double check with WinPE to make sure that nothing exists in all the "System Volume Information" folders, but they still show up in "System Restore", then it is acting as if it has a list of restore points in the registry or some place, but I'm not aware that actually happens and I can find nothing online that says that it does, so I'm very confused. I don't know if this would work, but, using WinPE, or a live Linux disc, you might be able to completely delete all "System Volume Information" folders on your system and let them be recreated then as necessary. But I suppose that could also completely hose your system, so be careful and only proceed if you have appropriate backups available. Cheers and Regards
  16. http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/creativx.net says it is not just you. Cheers and Regards
  17. That is one busy userbar! Cheers and Regards
  18. From all the 2K threads I have read over the years, I really cannot recall a single security related issue caused due to running an "unsupported" OS. Issues have manly been due to: 1) trying to run an older OS on newer hardware and trying to find drivers that work, or 2) trying to run newer software on the older OS, or 3) being restricted to older browsers which do not support newer features so accessing things like Flash or YouTube no longer work. So if you can stay with your existing hardware, and the software you are currently using meets your needs, then you only need to "worry" about the last issue which should be stable for at least a pretty good while. After all, 2K users can still get by. Jody, you have brought up the potential possibility of security issues on an "unsupported" OS several times, and as far as I can remember, every time the responses have tried to reassure you that will not be an issue. It appears that there is nothing that anyone can say to give you the "guarantee" that you appear to be seeking, so why do you keep bringing this up? What do you want us to say? Security issues are very real, and I'm not trying to minimize them in any way, but you seem to believe that the OS you use is the key to your security solution, while I believe that the security of the OS is only one of the minor reasons to choose the OS you decide to use. Cheers and Regards my friend
  19. Exactly what kind of battery are you talking about, some kind of external battery backup system or what? Cheers and Regards
  20. Keep both hands on the wheel, and always signal and look all ways carefully before any turn. Anticipate that the other driver is going to do something stupid. Watch out for pedestrians, they'll probably be talking to someone else or texting so they won't be looking out for you. Good luck! Cheers and Regards
  21. Did you generate a separate key for each computer? Cheers and Regards
  22. I was wrong above, the restore points are actually stored in System Volume Information. Sorry for any confusion. Be sure you have tried all four methods described here - http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/336-system-protection-restore-points-delete.html 1) Through System Protection to Delete All Restore Points 2) Through Disk Cleanup to Delete All Restore Points 3) Using "CCleaner" to Delete Individual Restore Points 4) Using "System Restore Explorer" to Delete Individual Restore Points Cheers and Regards
  23. In order for there to be a "modem" sound, there would have to be a modem somewhere, otherwise it is not a "modem" sound. Cheers and Regards
