Well I found an article that was dang close. It talked about the computer shutting down after the application of the SRP1 patch. However, this particular event generated several errors, which I'm not getting. I hate re-installing this OS. So much downtime involved. So little personal time to do it. So many programs I just can't live without. Such a slow dial-up It would be nice if Ghost or s
OS X to run on a PC????? So that's what all the earth moving, ground shaking stuff was all about. I thought it was that asteroid that apparently missed us by just a little bit.

Fuzzy... Right click on an existing thread. It's in there.
Doreen... I think Win2K offers that, but, like you, I've never tried it, don't know how it works. I think you have to manually set a restore point *before* you do anything, and, of course, I didn't do that. This knowledge base thing is a bit frustrating. I'm getting all kinds of irrelevant results. Arrrgh. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/sb.gif" border=0 ALIGN="absmiddle" ALT="Pow
Crae... If, by switching off power saving, you mean in the BIOS, I have done so. I think , some of those settings are a bit esoteric for me, but I've set everything to disabled or off. I looked through all the messages in the event viewer, nothing odd at all. I looked at all the services which have anything to do with power and they are set to manual. I only have 2 items which are set to disabled and th
Doreen, The very last thing I installed prior to this was the Win2K patches and etc from MS. Some of these cannot be uninstalled. I really don't want to have to reformat and reinstall because it would take forever to get all the Win2K sp2's and Office Sp2's and on and on Only as a totally, no other options, last resort. So, aside from the power options cpl, what else could have been affected by
Hi Faramir, My login has always been as an admin and, as far as I know, has never changed. Thanks. Hi Doreen, I don't have PCA running in the background ever. The only thing I use it for is to do maintenance on a database application I wrote for a company. I am never the host. And thanks to you too. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/sb.gif" border=0 ALIGN="absmiddle"
Thanks Crae, I checked my logs and found these 3 errors: 1. NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM Windows cannot unload your registry file. If you have a roaming profile, your settings are not replicated. Contact your administrator. (I do not have a roaming profile. It is local.) DETAIL - Access is denied. , Build number ((2195)). 2. The ATI WDM Specialized MVD Codec service failed to start due to the following error: The service cannot be started, eit
They change w/ Win2K here. Everytime I change a skin, I open IE to the blank home page and more often than not, the scroll bars are different. Not a lot different, but they have been changed.
Doreen, thanks for answering. My version of PCA is 8.01. Nothing bad happens at all when I load PCA. Only when I boot-up or shut down does this warning show. You should see my event logs I dl'd and installed the latest 4in1 drivers from VIA. We shall see if this helps with the first problem. <img src="http:/
I know I'm not supposed to reply to myself, and I apologize. I have another piece of the puzzle which might help. I downloaded Drempels and started the desktop function. I looked at the task manager CPU graph and it was topped out. Went away for about 20 minutes, came back and my computer had shut down to the "It's OK to turn off your computer." I figured if the CPU was so busy, it wouldn't have shut off. <A HREF="https://www.wincustomize.com/index.asp?Cmd=full&NewsID=913"
I'm sorry, forgot the specs MB: SY-K7V Soyo Dragon Plus w/ VIA KT266A RAM: 512m Kingston OS: Win2K SP2 with all the latest patches Processor: AMD Thunderbird 1.33 Video: ATI Radeon 64m DDR ViVo Would it help or hinder if I re-installed the VIA 4in1 drivers to fix problem #1? Thanks again, david <A HREF="https://www.wincustomize.com/index.asp?Cmd=full&N
After I applied *all* the latest patches from MS, 2 problems have surfaced which I absolutely cannot seem to fix. Sys specs at end. The first and biggest problem: After a period of inactivity, my computer shuts down. I come back and there is the box on the screen which says "It is OK to shut down your computer." Normally, when *I* shut down, I don't get that. My box just shuts off. I have looked in the Power Options cpl and it is set to 'Always On', I have checked the BIOS and the
Let 'em post their opinions. Some pretty hillarious replies have been posted. Brightened my day
I have read and enjoyed. Immensely. Thank you BoXXi.
Oh, my lord!!!! It loaded. Ackk (Bill the Cat) That design wasn't an accident, a failed attempt at transparency. They did that on purpose.
DavidK...Same here. I thought that WFx had done something. If the scroll bar is pink, though, I'm not sure I want to see the rest of it. Yeeeech
There are comments on that wall to address this. One of them, I think, is by the original author.
They are georgeous too, btw. Thanks Gillon for the work

Werewolf knows that crap can tell a story.
Doreen... I don't know specifically about your breed of hamster, but I think that most of them have to start being handled while they are very young to get used to it. If you've done that, well then...does it seem to get a bit furrier and longer teeth during full moons?
Doreen: I used graphite powder on the axle to quite the plastic wheel. Won't help the rattles though. Vampire hamsters I raised mine almost from birth and hand fed them quite a bit. Made sure they knew the difference between the scent of food and the scent of a werewolf who likes little puffs of fur for snacks <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/joke.gif" border=0 ALIGN="absmiddle"
Feline & Doreen... I had a breeding pair of Siberian Dwarf Hamsters for a while. Solved the squeeky wheel thing by getting a plastic wheel. Sweet bliss of a good nights sleep. A few days later, the little hair balls had chewed the thing all up Back the the metal wheel, with a can of silicon sitting beside it. <img src="h
