It was causing it to stall on "Loading Your Personal Settings" during start-up for the same reason I believe as during shut-down. Regardless, this program somehow fixed the problem.

It is a service. it's even listed under Services in the control panel. and before I installed the service, my system took nearly 8 minutes to boot. now it takes 1.5 minutes.

it runs constantly as a service actually but I feel as though if it ran ahead of all the other services it would make my system even faster.

Actually it's a little-known service that I found off of microsoft's website. so I can make it dependent on any service at all? it doesnt matter which? and it will then load first?

Why you ask? Because there's certain hives that are left hanging during start-up and shut-down and I need to change the order in which my hive cleaner runs.

Anyone know of a way to prioritize a service in XP so that it is either the first service loaded upon startup or the last service to be ended on shutdown? Thanks in advance.

wtf...never even heard of NOD32 or kasperksky. how could they ever compete with such a huge company like Symantec that has people working around the clock to find new threats? and is a personal firewall really necessary if I am on a campus connection?

Why is Norton Internet Security crap? I kind of like it. Corp edition doesn't protect you enough.

I bought an Asus A6NE last week and within the past two days, it's been extremely sluggish when starting up Windows (specifically, at the point where it says "Loading Your Personal Settings"). It will just hang there for about 30 seconds and then my desktop will slowly load. Norton Internet...

well I guess it really depends on what exactly you are recording (i.e. through what interface). I suppose if you are recording through SPDIF (digital) that an Audigy would suffice since all you're really doing is transferring a digital file from one device to another. I eventually went with...

ah there it goes. I had to hold the power button for like 10 seconds. thanks :D

*Newb question I know* My Inspiron 9300 just BSOD'ed on me (for the first time) and I can't figure out how to restart it. Unplugging the power just causes the laptop to run from the battery. So what's the trick?

the mbox is 1x billion times better than the mobilepre. I have used both and the mobilepre was complete shit. it just sounded awful. I returned it the same day I bought it.

ok heres some pics I just took. the package didnt arrive until 6:59 tonight (the cut-off time is 7 PM or you get your shipping refunded). overall I am satisfied with it, although I really wish Dell had included the XP OS CD since after all I did pay $99 extra for Professional edition. I am...

so who makes the best drivers then? should I be looking at third-party drivers (sorry for these questions...this is my first time owning an NVIDIA graphics card) btw I am gonna post pics of my 9300 in a few moments

ok I just got into windows. jesus...theres so many pop-ups its insane. dell has so much pre-installed shit on this thing it can make your head spin. is it alright if I format and install my own copy of XP? will I need any special drivers or anything?

yeah at the time I didnt realize how much more Dell charges for RAM compared to how much it really costs. I just thought the SODIMMs naturally cost more money. oh well...I'll know for next time. btw I am going through the setup phase on my brand new 9300 right now. so far it seems a little...

I ordered my 9300 last week and according to UPS, it should come today. I'm pretty excited. This will be my first laptop. I will post pics when it arrives. Here's the specs: Inspiron 9300 Intel® Pentium® M Processor 740 (1.73 GHz/2MB Cache/533MHz FSB) 17 inch UltraSharp™ Wide Screen UXGA...

That looks sort of like it. Which end would connect to the waterblock though? The threaded end?

lol :p Well I won't be doing any overclocking because this system is an HTPC and it will be watercooled. I think I will go with the A7N8X-E because I've used the original A7N8X in the past and it always gave me good results.

Oh I see. How come AMD Asus boards don't have 12v connectors then?

wtf...what was MSI thinking? All my heatsinks are bolt-on so now I have to rule MSI out. Well back to Asus for me.

I am looking to get the MSI K7N2 motherboard to replace in one of my comps but I am wondering why MSI has decided to remove the mounting holes around the CPU? Is this a new thing they are doing with all their motherboards? I've been out of the hardware loop for awhile so I need someone to fill...

The type of install I am doing would benefit from a 90 degree elbow on my waterblock in order to relieve the tension. This is my first watercooling project so everything is still new to me. The block is from a Coolermaster Aquagate kit. I am pretty sure they use standard 3/8" OD tubing. Would...

lots of nice pics here. keep them coming.

They are damper wires used to hold the grille stable.

Another 173P review: :D http://www.soundcardcentral.com/reviews/Misc/samsung173p/page1.shtml

isnt that a blade? ^

Lite-On always makes fine products. But you can't go wrong with a Plextor. Although they are somewhat overpriced.

An "X" in DVD terms isn't the same as an "X" in CD-ROM terms. An 8x DVD burner is indeed quite fast.

ok thanks :D

Start with using the Adobe PDF engine. This can handle your security needs as well as your content managment needs. Not sure how to get around taking screenshots within Windows. Perhaps you should incorporate the the WMP flaw of using full hardware acceleration?

Google AdWords is by far the most complex advertising manager I've ever used. The algorithms it uses are simply mind-boggling. There's guides out there on how to beat AdWords but some of them cost as much as $500. My marketing demographic is very specific, so only AdWords can meet my needs. Does...

nope.

my iso setting was at 50. I actually used a tripod and a 6 second exposure. I wasn't able to back up any further because there was a wall behind me. I don't have a wide-angle converter for my compact camera.

alright I just took this pic a second ago. how'd I do?

umm k...so I wasted all my money on a 4MP camera for nothing?

I'm glad you guys all like my pic :D I wasn't intending to be artistic with it. I just wanted to show off the quality of the picture.

yeah well nothing else to do around here.

nah lol. that's my friend. I hang out with drug addicts mainly.
