Automatically restarting a program that was ended using Task Manag
by Guest john_75915- 1 reply
- 150 views
Is there a way to have a program restart after it is ended in Task Manager? We use Quickbooks, and the Quickbooks updater is running constantly, but some users will end the program through Task Manager. There seems to be no way to hide or block the program from being ended, so I was wondering if it can be set to automatically restart if ended? Due to others programs we use, all users have Administrator rights, and that cannot be changed. I look forward to any suggestions. Thanks.

When I shut my 'puter down the screen told me I had updates to install. I had automatic download & install set,in security adviser. Each time since it asks do I wanna install. I WANT to see what they are. I have changed the settings to 'download but ask me when to install'. I used to get a screen with a "customize" option, which let me see the files. How do I get that screen back, or, alternatively, see the files waiting to be installed? Thank you. -- Semper Fi

Write Cache Setting
by Guest Fev- 3 replies
- 186 views
Hi I would appreciate some advice on the following: I would like to turn off the Write cache setting on my harddrive, but am unable to do this through Device manager as this causes a Delayed Write error when I try to launch the applet. The settings on the Policies tab for the drive are "greyed" out. According to my current research in this group and generally on the Internet, I understand that I need to change the setting in the registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet \Services\Lanman server\Parameters What I am not sure about is which option in this key needs to be set to 0. Is it the default? I am running Win Xp Home SP3. Thanks Heather

The lower menu bar including where the start button is keeps "hanging" itself so that I can't access it. Normally it works when the computer starts but after having used a program or two it stops been accessable. It started a week ago, no installations were made, it just came it out of the blue. Any idea why and what I can do to fix it?

help! memory cleaner needed...
by Guest LunaMoon- 24 replies

Hi all, I am using Excel 2003 for some project. I am having 2GB C drive harddisk space. After a while, the Excel begins to be extremely slow in copy and paste... It takes about half an hour to copy and paste just a few cells... I've consulted people. It seems a memory problem. But I cannot close my windows and kill the processes, because I am running long-running (overnight) jobs... I cannot reboot either. Is there a way to clean the memory and let Excel 2003 clipboard function properly without rebooting or killing my 4 long-running processes? Thanks!

XP Reinstall
by Guest DennyC5- 7 replies

I have a Dell laptop that had Widows XP on it. It is out of warranty with Dell and I won't pay for fee based help. Dell did not give me a copy of XP or any type of recovery discs when I bought the laptop even though I paid for a license for the copy of XP that came on it which I think is rediculous. Anyway the hard drive failed and I replaced it. I built a desktop and installed XP Home on it awhile back. Does anyone know if I can use that disk to install XP on the laptop but use the product key for the copy that came on the Dell? A friend told my that he thinks that the product key is the license and any XP disk can be used for the installation. I emailed …

by Guest Mikeymay- 2 replies

I have recently installed a new HDD and new DVD Rom drive. I installed a copy of XP Professional I receiced from Dell and then attempted to re install all the programs I had pre HDD failure. I seem to be having problems when I re install IE7 (which I am positive I had pre HDD failure). When I install I and then reboot I get a boot error saying a file call hal.dll is corrupt or missing. This is a very similar error to the one I got when my HDD failed except the file name was ntfskrnl.dll (I think). When this happens I have to re install XP and exverything works if I don't re install IE7. I would like to use IE7, but not sure how to resolve this is…
