Hi! My Vista-machine is running pretty smooth, there's only one thing that annoys me quiet a lot. The update-entry for Microsoft's "Malicious Software Removal Tool". I'm definitively never EVER going to install that prog since I use real security software . Is there a possibility to get rid of the entry in the Windows-Update-list and perhaps all future notifications for that prog, too? Cheers! Flo

Hi!! I had this problem with Adobe Audition, too. Well well, I tried quiet some methods to silently install Audition, but with no real luck. So I just thought, if you can't silent it, AutoIt-it! I made a little script, which works perfectly for me. The file is attached, maybe you need to modify some of the dialog names for different languages or so. Have fun and let me know if it worked!!

Ok, would be an idea to try another USB-card in my computer. And what about the other possibility? I have seen a "bluetooth-adapter" for printers. It's basically an usb-dongle which u plug to your printer's USB-port and then connect it via bluetooth to your computer's bluetooth-stick. Such an adapter is somewhere around 30 euros. Would this solve my problems, too?

Hi Y'all!! Well, I finally post my problem here in this forum, maybe someone's able to help.. Until spring 2004, I used an older PIII-system with Win2K running and an Epson CX5200 scanner / printer combo. This printer worked just fantastic and was fast as hell. I never had any problems. However... this changed in spring 2004 when I changed my computer. I bought a retail Fujitsu-Siemens Scaleo 600 (P4 2.8GHz, 512Megs RAM, Mainboard Gigabyte GA-8SGXLFS, Chipset SiS 648, WinXP Home SP2, always up-to-date). The printer-built-in copy-function still works perfectly but as soon as I try to print with any Win-application, printing becomes an adventure. First I takes about a minute before any printing job starts. Then the printer pulls in a page and... nothin'... wait some more seconds.... then it starts printing, but guess what? In slowmotion! It keeps printing line for line unbelieveably slow and finally, after about half a page, stops, pauses some more seconds, and printer-monitor of windows spits out some unknown USB-error and cancels the print-job. After that, only turning off the printer helps to reset it. - I'm using the most recent printer-drivers, no change. - I have tried all possible settings in the printer-spooler, no change. - I have changed the USB-cable, no change. - I have upgraded my BIOS, tried all possible settings, no change. - Scanning with my printer works without problems. - I have plugged the printer to my dad's computer (W2K) -> Works perfectly. Additionally, I have realized a curious thing. When I try to print a simple text-page (ie. in Firefox), printing fails. But recently, I have printed a complex and large-sized CD-cover in Nero Cover Designer and.. printing worked just fine. I have absolutely no clue, what causes the problem with my printer. I have only heard that my mainboard chipset (SiS 648) seems to be very picky with USB-devices. If I plugged my printer to an active USB-Hub or replaced the USB-cable with an printer-bluetooth-adapter and connect it via bluetooth, would that make a change? So if anyone of y'all knows a solution for my probs, pleeeeeaaaase drop me a line!! L8tr!! Attached File: Sysconfig.txt -> Info about my system-config and chipset sysconfig.txt
