The problem: Everytime I close the lid on the machine the laptop reboots.

Let’s not be pretentious here; these are just a bunch of unbelievably disturbing animals. Why? Because when it comes right down to the line, there are only two things that nature is really, really good at: Majestic landscapes, and unrelenting horror. In my experience, the internet could give a shit less about majestic landscapes, so...

I've found a way to disable the Thumbnail Cache in Vista, but still have the ability to view Thumbnails in Windows Explorer. This effectively gives you the same capability as in XP.

Troubleshooting Information, Tips and Fixes for Microsoft Windows

Vista iconWindows Vista introduces the Preview pane in Explorer, which shows the contents of the currently chosen file. You can also play multimedia files from the Preview pane, without opening Windows Media Player. This article explains how to use the PreviewConfig utility to register a custom file type for the Preview pane in Windows Vista Explorer.

В проводнике Windows Vista произошло множество улучшений по сравнению с Windows XP. Однако некоторые болячки предыдущей операционной системы перекочевали в Vista, как и прежде доставляя массу неудобств пользователям. В частности одной из наиболее раздражающих проблем является неспособность ОС отображать вид папок таким, каким хотят его видеть пользователи. Это мешает не только тем, кто пользуется проводником в качестве файлового менеджера - ведь окнами Открыть и Сохранить как пользуются все. В первую очередь речь о "забывчивости" Vista, теряющей пользовательские настройки вида. К этому примешивается и не всегда верное определение шаблона папки в зависимости от находящихся в ней файлов, что является нововведением в Vista. О том, как настроить вид папок и избежать неудобств при работе с ними, пойдет речь ниже.

This registry patch will tie MKV/MKA files into Windows Media Player [WMP11] and Windows Media Center [WMC] allowing them to play this file type. However there are caveats as it is not possible to tie a third party codec 100% into WMP without developing some sort of plug-in. Also available are patches for Flac, M2TS and MP4/M4V/M4A.

MatroskaSplitter is a simple installer that supports both Win9x and real systems.

This guide is intended for use on Dell systems which contain Dell MediaDirect and the Vista Operating system. It has been put together through a consumer need to reformat Dell systems as simply as possible and to remove the vast amount of bloatware contained on newly received Dell laptops. Unfamiliar to most, newly received laptops, not only contain an unnecessary amount of useless programs but also, contain unneeded alternate language files as well as registry entries created to serve the benefit of Dell and not necessarily the user. This 'bloatware' will, not only serve to slow your system a great deal, but also take up needed and valuable space.

The following guide is a compilation of the absolute best tips and tweaks found on the net as contributed through NBR members. These tips tweaks are presented to enhance the Vista user experience and have been tried and tested by several, each tweak proven very effective if the instructions are followed as described.

I've received a number of requests for an article on how to share a folder. I know for many of you this is a very simple operation, but I finally realized there's a reason for the confusion users are having. Windows Vista includes a "Share" button on the explorer toolbar, but it doesn't work the way people used to XP/Win2k expect it to. Instead it pops up a wizard to make things "easier".

Can I remap my MediaDirect button on my M1330 so it will start Ubuntu as a separate OS to Vista?

I have heard that different devices are better for RB: can anyone recommend one that has worked well on their system, or the criteria for what makes a memory drive good on Vista for Ready Boost.

Windows Media Audio and Video 9 Series is a breakthrough set of codecs that enables multichannel audio and high definition (HD) video at resolutions up to 1080p.

keyboardr is a homepage. It speeds up your internet expirience. And if you like, it helps you keeping your hands on the keyboard. In the first place keyboardr is a meta-search. You get Google, Wikipedia, Youtube altogether. The instant search and the keyboard navigation are replacing the feeling of “searching” with the feeling of “launching”.

Основная идея док-станций проста до безобразия - жесткий диск с помощью док-станции превращается в обычную дискету несравнимой, разумеется, с дискетой емкости. Элегантным движением руки любой человек легко вставит в док-станцию диск, запишет/считает данные с него и столь же элегантным движением может его вынуть. Никакого не то что специального инструмента, а даже никакого умения для этого не потребуется.
