Above is the Fast.bat batch file I have on my desktop that I execute once the PC settles down after boot up. The reason I wait for the PC to settle down before terminating processes is to ensure that some required resources are made available, but once available, the processes used to start them...

Assuming none of the processes are executed from a virus or trojan-infected executable, there may be some processes than can be terminated, thus, freeing up core memory to help speed things up. Curious... what are you running that requires SQL processes (e.g., sqlservr.exe, sqlmangr.exe) to...

Ban the wife from using the laptop... it's hers, you say? Sorry, can't help you with that, only technical issues... Do a print-screen of Task Manager's / Processes and post it so we can take a look-see at what's slowing you down (hint: after clicking on the "Processes" tab, click on the...

I helped break in my brother-in-law's 86 sub when he drove it out of the showroom. Drove the first 1,000 miles below 50 mph, never going over 2,100-2,200 rpm, kid gloves acceleration/deceleration, neither heavy loads nor towing. Then, brisk acceleration up to 65 mph (not WOT though), slowed...

Your PMD may already be fried... per WarWagon, reinstall the old one if known to be good.

Great looking truck. Nice shoes, too. Enjoy. Now jealous...

Bless you, my son. There will be a special heated leather 7-way reclining seat reserved for you in diesel heaven. Keep them apart to avoid additional damage to the fenders/tailgates once they start trying to procreate (they're animals, you know... it's in their blood)...

Hahaha! I know what you mean. I scratch/install my spare PC's operating system over and over to "practice" configuring differing preferences and Windows settings until I'm "pleased" before I scratch/install my primary PC or server. That's why I'm still running WinXP across the board but may...

We're doing away, completely, with transfer switches and having our utility cut the feed cables from the power pole during an extended blackout (I know, extreme sounding). Am running one dedicated 110V outlet to each room (coloured face plate) from a stand-alone distribution panel that will be...

How's it going? Still sitting in the corner (with a case of beer, I hope)?

Glad you're up and running, and better than before, James!

The NLS prefix indicates that is part of the OS' national language set files and, most probably, not needed by your installation (English language, presumably). If the Stinger runs clean, I wouldn't rush to reinstall the OS, rather, go on-line (or have someone copy theirs for you) and obtain a...

Do it as SuperUser/administrator in Vista: -- Start -- type "cmd" -- highlight the command prompt when it appears on the program list -- press [Ctrl]+[Shift]+[Enter] to run command prompt as administrator Navigate to the folder and rename the extention of the problem files. If you are...

Hold on! Try this: rename each of the files that are creating the problems by changing their extensions from .dll to .dl9 (or .dl2 or .dl3 ... it doesn't matter as long as it's not .dll). Reboot and let us know what happens. If your antivirus still scans them and hangs the system, copy them...

** Install the tallest/highest profile tire you can get that you can pump to 45-50 psi or above. The higher the pressure, the less tendency to "squish" the tire... the more the tire is squished, the higher the rolling friction. The taller/larger diameter the tire, the greater the...

The following web page is specific to prolonging the life/usage of lead-acid batteries, a term applicable to: - flooded lead-acid batteries - absorbed glass mat (AGM) batteries - gel batteries Some notes: - first type, also referred to as vented batteries, requires regular addition of...

...speaking from experience... If you use a utility/software or Windows service to monitor/manage your Uninterruptible Power Supply, take note: set the threshold so that the system shuts down in an orderly manner ASAP. The sealed lead-acid units used in battery backup systems, like...

If you're inclined to it, a WinXP boot CD with MBAM and updated signature files...

Without a welder, I had to use a few locknuts and bolts to fashion the dual-filter mount bolted to the AC compressor bracket... braided SS hoses were from JEGS, dual-filter from PermaCool, NPT-to-HoseBarbs from HomeDepot. Sure makes changing oil so much easier. If I had to do it over, I would...

Was that you who blew past me, lights blazing, on the LIE by exit 52 the other night? I thought it was a UFO or something... (just kidding)... Big fan of Jeeps and off-road lamps. I like how you set up the 550s. I'd install Lexan protectors to prevent stone damage.
