In fact I post here, because I just lost the thread on this convo when 4wd hit containers.-Daleus (April 10, 2012, 06:27 AM)
My BD supports XviD and MKV formats (it doesn't specify what the MKV should contain - which is useful - not)-Carol Haynes (April 09, 2012, 06:47 PM)
... only Xvid and MKV so I need to convert a lot of DivX (and other AVI) files to XviD (preferred) format.-Carol Haynes (April 09, 2012, 06:14 AM)
)Even though we have been talking about Intel chips in this thread I still prefer AMD in terms of bang for buck - they are just so my cheaper than Intel offerings - and I have found my Phenom II x6 very good - certainly spending two to three times the price on an i5 or i7 is hard to justify.-Carol Haynes (April 04, 2012, 05:03 AM)
But then again, I have a this bizarre belief in personal responsibility, which really isn't compatible with "sue everyone for everything", which seems to be the dominant logic today.-Renegade (April 03, 2012, 10:15 AM)
Personal responsibility has to come into play at some point.
Can't we use common sense anymore?
And #19 is just plain bullsh!t. She is not working in her garden, she is working on a public village flowerbed. As such she is bound by the same OHS directives that council workers/tradespeople/etc are.-4wd (April 03, 2012, 12:49 AM)
Not so sure... The point I get there is that the council is full of control freaks.
Like seriously... You have a little old lady doing some free gardening for you... and you want to what?!?

Idle Conditions
You can set a condition that tells the task to run only if the computer is in an idle state for a specific amount of time when a trigger is activated. When you set this condition, you also set the amount of time to wait (after the task is triggered) for the computer to enter an idle state.
The Task Scheduler service will check if the computer is in an idle state every 15 minutes. A computer is considered to be in an idle state when a screen saver is running. If a screen saver is not running, then the computer is considered to be in an idle state if there is 0% CPU usage and 0% disk input or output for 90% of the past fifteen minutes and if there is no keyboard or mouse input during this period of time. Once the Task Scheduler service detects that the computer is in an idle state, the service only waits for user input to mark the end of the idle state.
Isn't this likely more the domain of a modem rather than router?-rgdot (April 01, 2012, 07:42 PM)
Now you can 'rest' until I need guidance for my Linux install!-CleverCat (April 01, 2012, 03:21 AM)
- but when I added the 2nd box to the network, both [apparently] came down with the same condition. No way that should happen.-barney (April 01, 2012, 12:00 AM)
I don't think the mod of Restore Registry Wizard just means changing paths unfortunately.-Carol Haynes (March 31, 2012, 08:35 PM)
Yes - it is under registry tools - called Restore Registry Wizard.-Carol Haynes (March 31, 2012, 07:24 PM)
Hmmm found this:These instructions apply only to Windows 7
This allows you to restore a recent windows vista/7 registry backup manually (note this could be up to 10 days old).
It is very similar to the method I used in XP but doesn't give access to all the restore points but it might save the day. Apparently these backups are made automatically.-Carol Haynes (March 31, 2012, 08:01 PM)
