Yeah, I know. Normally, I wouldn't be worried about that, but, this is the first time this drive has started doing this. Making Windows say this, so, I'm a bit worried if it's the bridge or what. I swapped out the drive into another enclosure, and did not get the bitching. I also DIDN'T get it, for a while, AFTER putting it BACK in its normal enclosure. The problem also disappeared for a while when I swapped out the USB cable, too. But, it came back. SHEESH!

I admit it. I'm at my end here. So, I'm asking for anyone's help here. First off, how/what can I use to determine if a USB drive is running at high speed or not? I need something that can actually TEST this, not just fucking Windows saying so. Because, save for the two front ports, no matter WHAT port I'm using this USB external HD on, if I turn it off and back on, when Windows detects the drive, it claims I am connecting a hi-speed device to a low speed port. So, I need something to actually run a read test on that can tell me if it's actually running at hi-speed or not. IF there's even anything that can do this. At this point, I'm so tired of it all, I think I just need to do what I've always done. Since there never was a solution a guy like me can get, just to junk it and try to buy something else to replace it, I suppose.

I was STARTING to. But, here I am, conflicting FAT versions later, and I still can't get anywhere with that external drive.

Maybe the shuttle is larger on the inside than it is the outside? The Daleks did have that technology in The Chase. Remembrance is a favorite of mine. It works in so well past Dalek history together. I like McCoy. He rolls his R's a little too much but, other than that, I don't have a problem. Resurrection was a disappointment for me. Saward is highly overrated, IMO. While he did craft an excellent story with Earthshock, I've yet to see any other of his that were any good.

Wow, that's FAR sooner than I expected!

Well, DID you?

Wow... that's creepy... I had JUST found that file saved in my download directory... without any idea where it came from... and then it showed up in this thread...

Oh, no. Never, never leave yourself open like that.

After testing with my system since I need to restore it back to basic system install level, there are two keys at play here. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupreg The first is the key that actually runs things. The 2nd is apparently just the text for the fields that MSCONFIG displays. Meaning, delete the 2nd and not the first and though the entry disappears from MSCONFIG, it still runs. Just check Task Manager. Delete the first and not the 2nd and the entry does not run and does not appear. Also, it appears that the 2nd key is used for any unchecked entries in MSCONFIG so they can be rechecked and enabled again later.

Don't give Shamus any new picture ideas!

Decided to go for a wireless mouse since the cost difference was only about $5. While it does mean that I will have to replace batteries in the mouse, it is still easier than cleaning mice balls. :& A few things got better, a few that were worse. The scroll wheel wasn't notched, so, I won't get any of those annoying not quite there clicks. And the screen rolls up and down back and forth quickly. With a smoothly scrolling wheel, that shouldn't happen. But, will probably break down sooner. The Back and Forward buttons for web navigation are now on the left side, which is rather idiotic! Plus, they don't always seem to work. Back also seems to be the bottom button, which makes sense if you remember Up and Down swapping for Forward and Back. I'd have done things differently, but, I usually would. My way is called better.

Well, there are the mind altering subroutines that make you want celery, corn, wombats with Tweety waterwings to engage with necrophagic sex with mice...

Yeah, more and more false positives are being reported because the antivirus vendors are becoming more and more fucks. They don't exchange information back and forth because there is no standardization. And, there is no standardization because each company wants the lion's share of the AV pie. Thus, they all work together in relative vacuums, which means, in the end, its the users who are inconvenienced.

I'd forgotten Mr. Fixer's money maker shaker avatar! Goes well with Kev's in proving to the world that we're all morally corrupt degenerates. Right, Darkfalz?

2.1? I'm waiting for 3.0! With automatic CMC disc detection and replacement feature.

I will send you... an army... of ghosts. They may be of some comfort to you on... doomsday.

You will do it now. You belong to us. You will be like us. You will be upgraded.

If you would be so kind. Please!

How many points of articulation does this figure have? i.e. where does it pose at? Looks like the shoulders and hips, but, what about the elbows? The knees? Articulation on par with the Dapol Cyberman? More? Less?

Some upcoming items for the recent season of Doctor Who that have caught my interest. http://www.scificollector.co.uk/scifishop/...7-6/newser3.jpg http://www.scificollector.co.uk/scifishop/...7-6/newser4.jpg Yes, the new style Cybermen was just beginning for an action figure! So close to Robocop and the Iron Giant, both of which have had toys released. http://www.scificollector.co.uk/scifishop/...oct/newser2.jpg CYBERMEN SOCKS! "Your feet will be upgraded! Your wallet will be depleted. You BELONG to us!" http://www.scificollector.co.uk/scifishop/...hes/AUTUMN4.jpg The only thing lethal to the Daleks? The smell of Dad's sweaty feet! http://www.scificollector.co.uk/scifishop/...es/AUTUMN11.jpg What a creative Dalek ploy! Simply trick people into putting on ties, the activate them remotely to constrict and choke everyone to death!

Oh, no... what terrible to news to get back to back! David Maloney and Peter Hawkins have died! #39;( And, I had just so recently heard Maloney on the running commentary for the Genesis Of The Daleks DVD.

Which web browser are you using? It may not be the accelerator as opposed to the browser. For instance, I've noticed Firefox tends to want to sometimes write to the HD, causing ImgBurn to slow down by contrast.

Did they attempt to fit in Abducted By The Daleks?

Yeah, the infamous, starting with the 2004 version, the sudden "I'm not installed! Re-install me!" registration check. It thinks it's not registered, it asks you to re-register, appears to work, but REBOOT and it doesn't. Symantec has been falling apart for 10 plus years. So, of course, they bought up things like Drive Image... and THEY stopped working right, too. Symantec is 2nd only to Microsoft. And only barely manages to stay ahead of Roxio.
