RE: Unable to delete registry key
Thanks Thor. I finally solved the issue by using RegDelNull. The "version" subkey contained embedded-null characters and that's why I was unable to delete it using regedit. But RegDelNull deleted it as explained here: http://technet.microsoft.com/... | alegator | Tech Talk | 06-11-2009 at 06:26 AM |

RE: Windows 7 with XP look?
I think that the Windows XP GUI is much simpler, leaner, resource saving than Vista/7. I always use the XP Classic GUI. I was asking about the GUI only, no doubt that Vista or 7 are more advanced, superior OS's than XP. | alegator | Tech Talk | 06-06-2009 at 07:40 AM |

RE: PC powers off
Good news! The PC has been running smoothly for 24 hours with no shutdowns. Furthermore, I installed HWMonitor and CPU Burn-in and ran the CPU at 100% usage for 30 minutes and everything stable. Before the Burn-in the CPU temp showed 45 degrees celsi... | alegator | Tech Talk | 05-31-2009 at 09:15 AM |

RE: PC powers off
Menthix, the PC forcefully shuts down (screen goes black) with no BSOD. I just finished cleaning the internal parts of the PC, there was dirt beyond imagination, to the point of clogging all fans (CPU and case fans).

PC powers off
I have a PC that runs fine, except that whenever I run a task that demands above normal or high CPU usage (like malware scans, defragger, etc), it shuts down forcing me to power it on again. How can I fix this? Maybe changing some BIOS settings?? I ... | alegator | Tech Talk | 05-28-2009 at 07:58 AM |
RE: Any news on messpatch or apatch for WLM9?
Yes, that's why I mentioned the "lite" version of apatch, which only offers few features. I was asking for the full featured version, yet unreleased. | alegator | Skype & Live Messenger | 05-26-2009 at 10:28 AM |

RE: Best encryption algorithm?
What if you forget/lose the access password? I guess then you'll be unable to retrieve your stored logins. | alegator | Tech Talk | 05-13-2009 at 03:43 PM |
RE: Trying to identify a device in Device Manager

Trying to identify a device in Device Manager
My PC didn't come with USB2 or firewire ports, so I added a PCI to Firewire/USB2 internal card. What would be the name or location of this device in Device Manager? I want to update the driver but don't know what's the device's name in the Device... | alegator | Tech Talk | 05-12-2009 at 05:25 PM |
RE: Best encryption algorithm?
Thanks everyone for their replies. Now, the way roboform works is that it stores the login information for a user's commonly accessed websites (username+password).

Best encryption algorithm?
When I go to Roboform's options, under Security you can choose among the following encryption algorithms: -DES -3DES -AES -Blowfish -RC6 By default it's set to AES. Is this the safest one? If not, which one? Thanks | alegator | Tech Talk | 05-10-2009 at 04:58 PM |
Blocking and deleting a contact is not enough..
Say for example that I block and delete a contact from my list. My name will still show in this contact's WLM. So if this contact right clicks on my name and selects "Profile", he/she'll be able to see my updated status and display picture in my ... | alegator | Skype & Live Messenger | 05-02-2009 at 04:03 AM |
RE: WLM v2008 to v2009 upgrade

One single partition or two?
My system drive is a 500Gb with a single partition with 249Gb free space. Would I be better off (faster performance) creating a 2nd partition for files (music, pictures, etc), thus reducing the system allocated space to say 100Gb? Thanks. | alegator | Tech Talk | 03-18-2009 at 03:51 PM |
RE: How to stealth port 1030?
Windows Firewall will stealth all ports only if turned on simultaneously with NIS2008. If used alone it won't, but I read it's not recommended to have two firewalls used at the same time. | alegator | Tech Talk | 03-07-2009 at 03:44 PM |
