    Play/Pause key on keyboard launches "shell32.dll".

    The config file for LaunchManager hasn't changed. I've also tried to restore the default config file with no luck. Also tried uninstall and fresh install of newer version, still nothing. I don't think the fault lies in LaunchManager, it rather seems like something else is hijacking the input but...

    Play/Pause key on keyboard launches "shell32.dll".

    EDIT: Bumping this post with some additional info - I've uploaded a screenshot of the contents of the right-click menu for DLL files. The left one is without the "Take Ownership" registry mod, and the right hand one is with the mod enabled. It seems the Play/Pause key triggers the boldface menu...

    Local transfer speeds much lower than WAN.

    Well, that sucks. Thanks for the answer!

    Local transfer speeds much lower than WAN.

    It's not just when transferring files to/from the USB drive, I get the same low speeds when transferring between computers on the same network. But, as I said, both the computers and the router are clearly capable of higher speeds. YouTube, Netflix, Steam, uTorrent, etc., all of these can reach...

    Local transfer speeds much lower than WAN.

    I've been searching for an answer to this for some time now but I haven't found one. My apartment is connected to a city-wide fiber network and I'm signed up for 100/100 Mbps. I can reach those speeds over wifi when downloading/uploading from/to the internet. But when I try to copy files between...

    Proxy for certain domains only in router settings?

    Is it possible to route traffic to/from certain domains through a proxy in router settings? I'm using a Netgear WNR3500L v2 with Tomato firmware by Shibby (Build 121). I'd like to do this, if possible, on the router so that it applies to all devices on the network. I know how to set a general...

    Router link speed goes down as download speeds increase.

    EDIT 2: Disregard that... There seems to be something that's causing interference. Probably from one of my neighbors. EDIT: It seems I've solved the problem by enabling "20/40 Coexistance" under the wifi card's options menu. So since this past weekend I've been having this weird problem with...

    Anybody knows why this is happening to ATI CCC?

    f.lux was the cause. Closing f.lux fixes the problem.

    Anybody knows why this is happening to ATI CCC?

    ---SOLVED--- f.lux was the cause. Closing f.lux fixes the problem. Here's a recording from today. A few days ago I was going to make some adjustments to the display color in CCC and noticed that the "Desktop Color" section of the control panel wasn't reacting to my input. I tried a clean...

    File transfer stops if I close the folders.

    If I transfer files between two folders and I close the windows, leaving only the transfer info window open, the file transfer will stop some seconds later without finishing the transfer. Is this normal? Windows 7 x64 btw

    Alternative to Snarl and Growl for Windows?

    I tried both of these yesterday and I like the idea of having a unified and consistent notification center for all programs. But both of these seem to lack development on the program itself and the plugins so I can't get all my programs to register to Snarl or Growl. I looked around for other...

    Problem with Action Center & Network and Sharing Center

    After spending almost the entire day on this I've given up on the damn thing. The problems just run too deep so I'm formatting later today. I guess I won't be using Windows Install Clean Up tools again... Thanks for the help though.

    Problem with Action Center & Network and Sharing Center

    Didn't work. It failed to access some 20,000 files when I tried to run the command in Windows so I also tried it by booting with installation disc which enabled it to access all files but it didn't make any difference.

    Problem with Action Center & Network and Sharing Center

    Yes some of the network related services failed to run but I fixed that and all services seem to be running as they should. But I still get these notifications. I could just take the easy way out and format but I feel it's a good opportunity to learn something new for future problems. So I'd...

    Problem with Action Center & Network and Sharing Center

    Locked registry keys are created (Win 7 x64)

    Thanks! While SubInACL in the link you posted didn't work since it's not compatible with Win 7 64-bit, it made it possible to do some more research on the subject which lead me to SetACL Studio. I was able to successfully reset owners and then permissions with this tool.

    Locked registry keys are created (Win 7 x64)

    Yes UAC is set to always notify (highest) but I've always kept it turned off until very recently. I only turned it on after the locked reg keys started appearing. I haven't set any group policies.

    Locked registry keys are created (Win 7 x64)

    I have a problem with programs creating locked registry keys. Actually the keys don't have any permissions set so I have to manually go in and add user permissions and owners. I have scanned for viruses with MSE, MBAM, and various rootkit scanners which all turned out negative. The only thing I...

    About to buy a HTC Sensation XE, yay or nay?

    You should try one of the android 4.0.3 ROMs over at xda to get a feel of the real power in this phone. I tried Virtuous Inquisition 2.0.1 last night and I love it but decided to go back to CM7 till CM9 is released because I need some of the settings.

    Sumatra-like PDF reader with interactive form field capability?

    No. why? It's not as light as Sumatra but I like it more than Foxit so I'll keep it for filling forms and Sumatra for just reading. Thanks

    Sumatra-like PDF reader with interactive form field capability?

    I was cleaning up my system today and while at it I decided to get rid of Foxit reader too. So I discovered Sumatra pdf reader and I love the simplicity. But it has only one flaw - It won't allow me to write in form fields in pdf files which made me reinstall Foxit reader. So are there any...

    Headphones to match Pioneer M-280?

    I've gone through 3-4 pairs of Pioneer M-280 over the years and the reason I keep going back to them is the sound quality for the quite low price but the build quality sucks to be honest. The phones always break off at the connection to the headband. But this time I'd like to try something...

    Battlefield 3 - Official Thread

    I think it's unnecessary to have two programs doing something that one (the game) could do. I think they should just have tried harder to make a functioning in-game browser. As it is now, the game requires Origin, a browser, and a plugin for the browser. I'm no programmer but I'm sure there must...

    Overclocking a laptop?

    I've overclocked my laptop in sig from 133 MHz (2.4 GHz) base clock to 146 MHz (2.63 GHz) and the GPU from 550/800 to 760/900 (memory can go higher but I see no performance increase by bumping the mem speeds) plus an overvolt from 1.0V to 1.02V. The CPU reaches ~85 C and GPU 75-80 C when playing...
