Nice find CA3LE. Not too suprised though.

You might try here: 15. Computer Won't Shut Down This usually happens if Windows is having trouble closing a program. The easiest way to avoid the problem is to close all programs before you close Windows. If that does not help, you need to track down which program is causing the problem. If you are running Windows 95, remove all shortcuts from your StartUp folder. If you are working with 98/ME/XP, uncheck all the programs listed in StartUp in the System Configuration Utility (you get to the utility by opening Start/Run and typing "msconfig" without the quotes in the Run box and then clicking on OK). Shut down the PC. Reboot. Shut down again. Then add one program back, shut down, reboot and shut down again. If Windows shuts down as it should, add a program back to StartUp and repeat the shutdown, reboot, shutdown routine. Do that until you have pinpointed the errant program and reinstall it. If you are running a screen saver, consider it also to be a prime suspect. Your Advanced Power Management, or APM, utility has decided to take leave of its senses. Disable it, both in your BIOS file and in Windows. That little sound riff that accompanies the shutdown is hitting a sour note. Go to Control Panel and click on the Sounds icon to open the Property dialog box. Scroll down in the Events box until you see Exit Windows. Change the sound settings to None. Your TEMP folders are bulging at the seams. If the C:WindowsTEMP folder gets overloaded, all sorts of bizarre events can ensue. Clean it out. While you are at it, clean out your Temporary Internet Files folder as well. Updating XP with the latest Service Pack may also cure the shutdown failure. However, it is also possible that Advanced Power Management, or APM, is getting in the way of the shutdown routine. APM may not be enabled in your XP configurations, but it may be turned on in your BIOS, a memory-resident program that controls how your PC sets itself up. Microsoft recommends that you go to the Control Panel, click on

Just reformatted, and thought I would try it again. Largura de banda

I doubt that will stop you. I know it would not stop me. Not with double the D/L available. For FREE!

Sounds reasonable for any laptop that will work. Not everybody games. In fact most people probably don't. Last time I checked it took over $1000 to build a decent laptop. If I needed one, that would work for me. In fact my mother-in-law was wanting a laptop, I will pass it on to her. Thanks swimmer.

Very nice speeds mikmike Do you have an extra room?

If CA3LE thought he knew it all I would be worried. That is the reason for this forum, to share knowledge learned along the way. The world changes too fast to know it all!

I believe this "my pc serviceman told not to do so coz it is a pirated version and may cause problems if updates" cancelled out supposed.

That was darned easy to do. Even for little ol me.

Easiest way is to meet the competition brock01. Starting from $50 to $434 New. One with 1024 RAM, 15" flat monitor, 2.8 Ghz, printer, and all original papers and books. $400. You have to decide what is your attached to it price. http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?sofocus=bs&sbrftog=1&from=R10&satitle=Dell+4600+computer&sacat=58058%26catref%3DC6&bs=Search&fsop=1%26fsoo%3D1&coaction=compare&copagenum=1&coentrypage=search&fgtp=&sargn=-1%26saslc%3D2&sadis=200&fpos=ZIP%2FPostal&ftrt=1&ftrv=1&saprclo=&saprchi= Like php said, they do not go up. Only down.

Sometimes to fully uninstall, I clean out my registry right after with ccleaner.

Welcome to the forum BrawnyDawg Shoot the cats. Glad you got it fixed.

Won't you need the "Meanwell 300W Supplemental Power Supply $94.95 also? Will that keep down the humidity(moisture)?

Welcome to the forum serd. Not bad speeds for that time of day. How long have you been on the 4000?

I always wondered about that feature, I just never got aroud to trying it out. Thanks CA3LE! *gives the boss a hug* Well if Shug7272 can give out hand jobs, surely I can give the boss a hug.

Ok, sometimes it relates well with is already written.

Now that is what I was talking about. If I was a real gamer, that is exactly what I would do. Super cool and cheap!

You mean we can't drag up 60 day old threads anymore? Bummer.

Maybe you do not understand your crew. We are misfits who like to have fun. I have been to DSL Reports. BORING! Here we can talk like human beings. Rant and rave for fun. Or just tease the ladies. The ladies make up part of the fun. Here you can just have fun. Tech is not so almighty. I don't have to have a degree or 20 years of knowledge to be a member here and get along. There is more to TMN than just the wonderful knowledge, there is curtious help. I would probably have never joined a forum, if TMN did not exist. And had the chance to join such GREAT people. You recognize humans here, not just knowledge. I would back up this site to the end! We the people would not be the same without it! Don't underestimate yourself Damon. You have created a comfortable site. And yes, the right combination of people came along to shape it that way.

As always, GREAT WORK CA3LE ! ! :notworthy: Where would we be without ya.

I did that test once, it does not work for satelite. It will show all ports open. And a total failure.

TimPawlak you can't be on Hughes.net. No way. insightbb.com. You bully!
