I recently had my system crash, due to a bug, my virus protection wasnt picking up. After $200 dollars, hours of reading and help from you great blokes here in the 'forums'' I finally traced it to the system restore. Problem finally solved. I guess, its a question of security, to run an additional scan just to make sure nothing is lurking. Providing the program is good, I cant see it would hurt. Run a mcaffee stinger can never hurt, visit http://vil.nai.com/VIL/stinger/ for the latest version and run it on your machine. It is an standalone executable so you can take it anywhere on a usb stick

Why do you want a addition "online" antivirus / antimalware scanner?

I'm having problems with an image that won't sysprep on VMware. I have installed Windows XP SP3 on a Dell Latitude D630. This notebook has a dual core CPU so multi processor hall. Then I've captured an image of this computer and uploaded it to my WDS server. I'm loading the image from the WDS server onto a new VMware virtuale machine via F12 (PXE boot). The virtual machine has 2 cpu. When I load this a whole bunch of new hardware is found, this is normal behaviour. I then copied over the Sysprep.exe and run it. When the machine comes backup it keeps rebooting. I tried selecting Safe boot but then the machine stops after loading agpCPQ.sys Anyone have a clu what i'm missing here ?

How about a diskpart based computer logon and logoff script that hides the game partition when progrmming OS is booting up and vice versa. Enforce the script via group policy computer startup and shutdown

What i feared for . Maybe it is possible to Filemon regmon what WMI call to the powersubsystem are? Any experience on that?

I'm having trouble Flashing a Dell Latitude D830 with Bios Version A10 to Bios version A12 when i boot up (via PXE) with a Boot.wim that has the file D830_A12.exe inside it. The error message i receive is : "The AC adapter and battery must be plugged in before the system BIOS can be flashed. Press OK when they are both plugged in or CANCEL to quit." I dubble checked if the battery and netadapter were properly connected. The same message keeps reappearing over and over again when i press OK. I tried booting up in with Windows Xp SP3 on the same computer and lauching the same file. This action gives no error and the Dell Bios Flash tool offers to upgrade the A10 bios to the A12 bios. How can i resolve this?
