Why not vi ?

Not something i did but something i saw at work : a new colleague was customising his PC ( at this time, it was using NT 4.) and logged with his domain admin account, he launched the user manager (usrmgr.exe) and removed all users except 2/3 accounts. The thing is that when you launch on an NT4 usrmgr logged on as domain admin you see by default the domain users/groups and not the local users/groups. So in fact he removed about 2000 users accounts.............It took me more time to understood and cool down than to restore the accounts. We had a good backup and i was able to restore most of the accounts.

Check this reg entry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList ProfilesDirectory= It should be (by default) "%SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings".

Regshot might help you.

Are you sure the partiions were "wiped"? Maybe some files were deleted from the filesystem, but I have never seen CHKDSK actually "wipe" anything. AFAIK CHKDSK only works at \\.\LogicalDrive level (drive letter), so at the most can mess up the filesystem, or even "wipe" some of the bootsector data, but don't think that it can access the \\.\PhysicalDrive for writing. (or we have a different definition for "wipe" ) jaclaz Of course not a secure wiping (were no data could be recovered by any means) but no files were presents anymore on the partition.

Or you might loose all your datas as sometimes chkdsk /F or /R will just wipe the corrupted partitions (i saw this behavior a few times). I would backup everything you really want to keep to the C: drive and what ever support you can before doing it.

I think you are in this case. The 105°C is probably for desktop graphic card.

Where are you seeing the wrong size ?

To my knowledge, intel P67 doesn't include usb3 controller but this document might be wrong.

Of course you could use autoit and the run the batch hidden or convert the entire batch to hide it. Also if you really want to have the entire 24/7 without missing some millisecond, you should start the next recording before killing the previous one.

My 2cents here: 78°C is very hot for a GPU and it might be the root cause. I would try to put thermal paste after cleaning properly the heat sink of the gpu. Any electronic component will see its life reduced when going to temperature higher than 70°C. Recent one are sometimes designed to be more robust and handle 80°C but if you can keep it cooler it should live longer.

You just need to create another login/password on your windows install and then create a scheduled task to run your batch with the newly created used. Of course you need to setup properly the newly created user so it can write in the right folder and it can run the batch.

I tried first versions and they were ok. Didn't try the 2.x so i can't say. You'd need at least a computer to burn the iso and that's what MacAfee provide there (if you read the usage instructions).

Like MacAffee cleanboot.

Every Windows 7 should have a generic (in manufacturers) and generic/text only in printers. Edit reason added info: Also create it as a local printer and create a standard tcp/ip port (and put the ip of the printer there). BTW what is the make and model of the printer ?

@puntoMX: mine is a VA. @pointertovoid : Even you won't choose it in a shop, you should at least try it somewhere as sometimes good specs doesn't offer the qualities you need. Also i would take the on site warranty if available and if you plan to buy it online and BTW some monitor makers offer this for free.

Not many people may have their hands on the required hardware as most motherboard doesn't even support uefi booting right now. Also i don't see how oems could completly look out users from modding the bios as it already exist for many motherboards.

You can use a generic print driver (or one for the same make and almost model) it might work but not support all specific function. Some printers support printing .pdf or .ps (generated with a generic driver) directly.

As at my work we're still "maintaining" windows NT4 servers, i'm pretty sure we will still maintain XP and 2003 at least in 2015 or later. And 2000 would also still be there most likely as those are working very well under vmware.

That remember a story of mine: it was with a P4 on an asus P4S8X-X with a good heatsink (don't remember the make but i bought it to replace the noisy intel one) and for a change the computer case was closed. I was using the computer when i smell like some rubber burning, i though it was something in the kitchen and didn't bother to actually find exactly what it was but when i saw a white smoke coming out the case, i understood: the heatsink fan was stuck and it began to burn and even when i stopped the computer (unplugged the power cord), it was still making flames. I had luck the flames disappeared very fast (but there was still a lot of smoke) and i could remove the heatsink with a kitchen grip and throw it in the kitchen sink and open the water tap. Believe it or not the P4 and the motherboard weren't damaged and might still be working (i still have them somewhere).

You just need to create a scheduled task that will do the job and of course a little of scripting (batch/vbs...) is needed but nothing needing a lot of time if you want to learn.

Then try to backup a windows user profile having the problem, then delete it, then login with the user (to recreate it) and reconfigure outlook and check if it solve the problem. If it doesn't, then it is either the outlook install or a server setting and the next step would be trying the problematic user account on a "working" computer (where another user have no problem using autocomplete) and if it is working then it's linked to the computer if not it is linked to the server. IMHO, it should be solved by recreating the windows user profile but when you read this, it could be coming from a corrupted mailbox (if using an exchange server).

Ok then if this doesn't work, you can try to disable/set to manual to smartcard service and only start it when needed (but it wouldn't completely fix the problem if the user lock the workstation when it is started) or you should try to use procmon to monitor the accessed reg entries when you try to unlock and a smart card is inserted (you should begin to monitor before the smart card is inserted and stop when asked for the pin code); it might provide interesting keys and perhaps one of them might help disabling properly SmartCardLogon (most likely located there: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SCLogon). Edit reason: Forgot to say, as gina is copyrighted by MS, nobody there will help to hack the dll as it is against the forum rules. That's why you have to find another way.

You could try recreating the (windows) user profile but that would be overkill. Did you tried to launch outlook with "/cleanautocompletecache" to clear the cache ? Other Outlook 2010 command line switches are there.

The solution was the first google result.
