  2. Hey.

    When i'm logged on an try shutting down my computer it starts up again (a.k.a. restarts, lol) :wacko:. But when it comes back to the 'welcome screen' and i try to shut it down, it does shut down and stays off. Any ideas?

    Thankyou :thumbsup:

    Right click on My Computer

    Select Properties

    Select the Advanced Tab->Startup & Recovery section

    Select the Settings button

    uncheck "Automatically restart" Apply".

    This will give you a blue screen withthe error message rather than rebooting the computer.

    post them back and we can go from there

  3. another tid bit of info

    when you need to restart your computer

    because of an update or (asked to do so )

    if you hold down the shift key

    and then click on restart

    you will restart windows only

    and not go through the entire boot secquence

  4. this litle reg tweek is not for every one obviously as you must be comfortable with your registry however there allways comes a time when you find your self with a .dll or .ocx file that for all intencive purposes will just not delete or install

    this also aplies to .ocx controls

    now sure you could open the run box and do this manually by typing

    regsvr32 -u any.dll

    or

    regsvr32.exe /u any.dll to unregister

    and

    regsvr32 any.dll

    or

    regsvr32.exe any.dll

    acordingly

    or you can copy and paste the following into note pad

    and save file as

    DllOCXRegisterStop.reg

    right click and merge

    ..................................................................

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\dllfile\Shell]

    @="Register"

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\dllfile\Shell\Register]

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\dllfile\Shell\Register\command]

    @="regsvr32.exe %1"

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\dllfile\Shell\Unregister]

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\dllfile\Shell\Unregister\command]

    @="regsvr32.exe /u %1"

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.ocx]

    @="ocxfile"

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ocxfile]

    @="OCX File"

    "EditFlags"=hex:00,00,01,00

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ocxfile\Shell]

    @="Register"

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ocxfile\Shell\Register]

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ocxfile\Shell\Register\command]

    @="regsvr32.exe %1"

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ocxfile\Shell\Unregister]

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ocxfile\Shell\Unregister\command]

    @="regsvr32.exe /u %1"

    ..................................................................

    This will add the entries to your registry so that when you right click on a dll or ocx file the popup menu will include "Register" and "Unregister". This is handy for removing any unnecessary registry entries or re-registering files that weren't registered properly by their setup programs
