[automatically enable/disable internet connection]

If it takes restarting the PC or router then I don't know if disabling the software end of the connection will really help. Are you currently disabling it manually before you leave the PC so you know for a fact that this will indeed help? And speaking of screensavers, have you tried changing your power settings so that after some amount of inactivity that the PC goes to sleep? (Disable any wake on LAN) If your particular PC can wake up gracefully that might solve the problem.

Cheers and Regards

yes indeed it helps

I dont want my pc to go to standby, I just want the connection to be disabled

(I dont even know if getting the pc into standby, disables the connection)

[cut and paste SendTo]

Easiest way then is just right-click-and-drag and select move. Why use a special SendTo?

Cheers and Regards

because the target to drag to is not always at hand

[automatically enable/disable internet connection]

I'm confused. If it's a line problem (external to your PC) doesn't the PC automatically reacquire the signal when it becomes available again? If so, what's the problem? And if not, then why will disabling the connection during inactivity help the situation?

Cheers and Regards

disabling the connection during inactivity helps, because as I was advised from the customer service, my line gets stuffed because of too many errors in packets transmitted, so disabling the line (often restarting my router or even my pc) fixes the problem

this in most cases works, but it is hard to manually do all these each day, an automatic method would be a saviour

[cut and paste SendTo]

You mean move instead of copy?

Cheers and Regards

exactly

[automatically enable/disable internet connection]

Have you determined if this is a problem with your computer and not with your service?

yup, it is a line problem (it is known that line quality is not the best in the area)

[cut and paste SendTo]

hello

in WinXP there is the SendTo menu that copies a file to the destination folder

is there a way to make it cut and paste the file to the destination folder, instead of just copying it?

thanks

[automatically enable/disable internet connection]

hello

for some reason, my internet adsl connection gets stuffed after some time of inactivity and it becomes unusable

for this reason, I need to automatically disable it when I am leaving my pc (just like the pc detects inactivity and enables screensaver) and re-enable the internet connection when I move my mouse, click my keyboard, etc (just like pc resumes from screensaver)

any idea?

thanks

[specify number of lines you like to move up or down when you scroll yo]

my os version is winxp sp3

unfortunately there is no software that accompanies my mouse

is there a mouse driver that can do this??

[specify number of lines you like to move up or down when you scroll yo]

hello

winxp has a setting in mouse and keyboards setting to specify the number of lines you like to move up or down when you scroll your mouse once, respectively

I want to specify another value for MS Office (Word) only and maybe other programs like pdf reader

is it possible?

thanks

[windows xp x64 unrecognized version]

ok, so I downloaded the Windows XP SP1 x64 bit Professional Retail and I tried extracting it using nLite.

problem is, it says that the version is not recognized.

Running under Win7 HP (Home pre) x64 XP and Admin mode compa mode.

Please assist Asap.

from where did you download "Windows XP SP1 x64 bit Professional Retail"?

[what does SATA AHCI Mode do in simple words?]

specific to the controller means specific to the motherboard, right?

so intergrating these SATA drives into my nLite installation, will result in a non-universal XP iso (that won't run in all systems)

that's very inconvenient, probably I will switch to Win7 that has native AHCI support

[leaving pc working at night, makes it unresponsive in the morning]

Have you opened task manager and looked at the system load when this happens? Maybe you got a leaky app eating up ram.

You say it is very unresponsive. Does it go away after a while or do you need to reboot?

precisely, it is not totally unresponsive, it has very low responsiveness

for example, it takes many seconds before a window actually maximizes, when I click its taskbar button

this behaviour does not go at all, it continues like this even if I kill via Task Manager the most memory hungry processes (firefox and opera that take each about 300,000 K of "Memory Usage" as shown in Task Manager)

in Task Manager, CPU does not look too much loaded (it's below 5%) and PF Usage is 1,8GB (to be honest, even now PF Usage is 1.44GB but the system is totally responsive)

after eventually trying to reboot, I get an error sayings that .NET BroadcastEventWindow does not respond to shut down and after that I get an error that explorer.exe does not respond to shut down, but both apps after waiting a bit, shut down themselves, without me having to force them

after reboot the system is OK

I made some research about .NET BroadcastEventWindow and it seems I must install .NET Framework 1.1, I did so and I will wait to see if this will fix that strange problem

by the way, is there a method to free up "PF Usage" ?

[.NET Framework requirements]

thanks

is there a way to find ALL .NET Framework versions gathered? with their fixes, service packs, etc?

a website with a list or even better a downloadable file that contains them all

thanks

[what does SATA AHCI Mode do in simple words?]

thanks

since AHCI mode is a performance advantage I will definatelly try it

however I need to install SATA drivers during WinXP installation, right?

where do I find these drivers in order to encorporated them into my nLite installation?

are they universal, or specific for a disk model ?

thanks

[disable annoying "Vibrant site suggestions"]

hello

thanks

[leaving pc working at night, makes it unresponsive in the morning]

hello

after leaving the pc all night without shutting it down, in the morning it is very unresponsive (clicking to open a window takes many seconds, etc)

which can be the cause and the solution?

the specs are AMD 1090T with 4GB RAM, 500GB disk and 512MB onboard graphics, with an otherwise stable and responsive XP SP3 installation, without much bloatware and malware free (at least since antivir is running)

thanks
