    - Vista x64 SP1 I just bought a new HP m9100t with VHPx64. I'm happy with it so far. I have a full retail license for Vista Ultimate and a technet subscription allowed me to download Vista Ultimate SP1 x64. I tried to upgrade the VHPx64 using SP1x64 but it wouldn't let me. It said I could only upgrade SP1 to SP1. I used my retail Ultimate x64 DVD to upgrade the OEM VHP x64. There were no problems. Is there any way to use the technet SP1 full install DVD to apply SP1 to the existing OEM install? -- Chris Cowles Gainesville, FL Tag: Trojan Horse Generic 9 Tag: 57049

    - 64-bit XP OS uses memory more efficiently than 32-bit? Gurus, Is it true that a 64-bit XP OS will get more out of a 4GB RAM system than a 32-bit XP OS will? In other words, the 64-bit version will use the RAM more efficiently? I imagine the same efficiencies are true for Windows server? -- Spin Tag: Trojan Horse Generic 9 Tag: 57034

    - Memory management question I have been doing performance load testing of an application running in remote desktop to a Terminal Server running on Windows 2003 Server 64-bit Std Edition run. I load up the server with remote clients running the application until I reach the capacity limits of the server. In my 32-bit server testing the available physical RAM would usually get down below 100MB before the first big working set trim would take place. On my first test using the 64-bit server (with 16GB RAM installed) the first working set trim took place when there was still about 3GB of physical RAM available. It reclaimed over 8GB of RAM from the working set bringing the available RAM number up to 11.5GB. I continued adding users and the next working set trim took place when performance monitor showed I had 8GB of physical RAM available. Does anyone know what's going on here? Why would it be doing a working set trim with so much physical RAM still available? I have my page file size set at 24GB (all allocated up front). Any help is appreciated.

    - 8 GB in Laptops by end Q2 I spoke with a Kingston rep today at a Microsoft conference and he said that they will be offering 4 GB RAMs which will allow for 8 GB in a laptop at the end of Q2, price unknown. Apparently Dell is already offering 8 GB laptops for about $1300 extra. When the 4 GB RAMs start coming down in price, Vista 64 should start getting a lot more popular.

    - Canon Lide 50 scanner I built myself a new system and have put Vista 64 Ultimate on it. I have had a few issues with drivers, but one I cannot figure out is a driver that will allow my Canon Lide 50 scanner to work Canon, for some reason, has re-compiled the drivers for 64bit processing for their Lide 60 scanner, but not the Lide 50. I have to have to get a new scanner just because of Canon's decision. what Canon has done was to give me access to their "Customer Royalty Purchase" site. WHAT A JOKE. At most 10% off and I have founf eveything on it for a lower cost than on their special, passwork protected "Customer Loyalty: area. I have had Canon products for years and really like them, but this surprises me. Windows does not have an answer for the driver either. Is there anyone who has a Caon Lide 50 scanner who has found a 64bit solution to allow the use of a Canon Lide 50 scanner ?? Thanks in advance. Jon T. Tag: Trojan Horse Generic 9 Tag: 57017

    - Vista Ultimate 32-Bit or 64-Bit ~~ Which is the way to go?? OK, it appears that with a clean install, I can in fact move over to the 64-Bit world! My PC is an HP Pavillion Elite m9150f. The basic spec's are as follows: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 3GB DDR 2 RAM NVIDIA 8500GT with 256MB Dedicated 720GB HD @ 7800RPM (2 320GB HD's in RAID 0 Config) New system, still at factory level. Use it heavy in the Office 2008 arena. Play RPG style games; Oblivion, Neverwinter Nights, Call to Duty 2 & 4. Use Quicken 2008, iTunes (Movies, Music, iPhone) and all of the factory loaded software. My system has a twin on the HP Shopping site, same ID, but ships with Vista 64-Bit. The retail version (mine) shipped with the 32-Bit. My thinking, that most of the general crowd is satisfied with the 32-Bit scheme. However, since I do believe the 64-Bit OS is the future, I am seriously considering the up date now. Reasoning, New system and everything is at the factory level with NO software loaded yet. So, with the above in consideration, what is the Guru Recommendation: Retaine the 32-Bit OS or switch to the 64-Bit OS??? Please explain your reasoning and recommendation... Thanks Gunny Tag: Trojan Horse Generic 9 Tag: 57015

    - Upgrading Home Premium 32-bit to Ultimate 64-bit **QUESTIONS** Hi ALL, I have just purchased the "RETAIL" version of HP Pavillion Elite m9150f PC, which came loaded with Home Premium 32-BIT. I have Ultimate Upgrade Edition, which came in 32-BIT and 64-BIT. After a visit to HP Shopping web site, I found they sell the m9150f in the "PRE-BUILT" format, with the 64-BIT OS. I have compared the 2 side by side, Retail vs. Pre-Built, and it appears the ONLY difference between the two is the OS. Retail=32-BIT, Pre-Built=64-BIT... Since I have purchased the Retail version, I would suspect the upgrade to 64-BIT OS, should be an upgrade option that will work with what I have purchased. Two Questions: Q1: Is the 64-BIT version a better OS for the long haul, meaning now would be the perfect time to make the switch, since I just purchased this system and everything is factory default? Q2: What is the Guru recommendation; Switch to 64 or Stay with 32, and why? Looking forward to the responses and thank you! Gunny Tag: Trojan Horse Generic 9 Tag: 57000

    - language packs and SP1 Hello, I recently read an article saying the SP1 will be delayed until fixes can be made to work with the added language packs. http://www.channelregister.co.uk/2008/03/04/vista_ultimate_sp1_language_packs/ I had been adding some languages to my system as a courtesy to friends with diverse backgrounds. All these people are multi-lingual, so it's strictly a courtesy. Is there a consensus on whether I should remove the packs, so that SP1 could install, or should I just wait for the fixes to come out 'later in the year'? I am curious to see what effect SP1 will have on my system. Thanks! Tag: Trojan Horse Generic 9 Tag: 56992

    - Trojan damages My computer was recently infected by trojans. It took sometime for me to detect it because I was using avast at first. I switched to Kaspersky and that did the trick. After the cleaning process, I can no longer open my hard drives from My Computer the normal way (i.e. double clicking). When I double click on their icons, an "Open With" dialog box appears. I decided to repair my copy of winXP by reinstalling it (choosing the Upgrade option). Everything went fine, only my IE (previously ver 7) rolled back to ver 6 and WMP (previously version 11) rolled back to ver 9. I re installed IE7 and WMP11. Problems: The IE7 icon does not show up in the start menu (I usually load IE from the start menu). Everything works fine with IE 7 though...or so it seems...what do i do? My hard drives still do not behave normally. I'm planning to use a registry cleaner soon. What do I do? Are registry cleaners advisable in my case? Tag: Trojan Horse Generic 9 Tag: 56978

    - Virtual PC 2007 MS provides a 64-bit version of VPC2k7 for x64 platforms. I have XPx64 and have installed this '64-bit' version of VPC2k7. It only runs in 32-bit mode.

    - OT - Excellent unofficial drivers for SoundBlaster in Vista x64 Creativelabs has done a lousy job providing good drivers for their soundcards. I have been successfully using modded drivers taken from the Vista forums at Creative for many months. The last one is really something. For those who own the lowly Audigy Value SE/LS & SB Live 24bit (like me!) this set of drivers converts them to X-Fi Xtremes. http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=Vista&message.id=29663 Hard to believe but I installed them a couple of hours ago and it has supported the heavy gaming tasks imposed by my sons and my tests with Dolby 5.1 sound.

    - Vista and USB Mass storage device problems... I just can't seem to access my external hard drive... At one point I was able to. it saw it as just another folder in my computer but now I can't get it back for the life of me. I updated my ports, I tried patches but all I ever got was "this update does not apply to your system". It shows up in the device manager and says its working properly and when I unplug it from my computer I hear the little "disconnect sound" same for when I reconnect it except its the "reconnect sound".

    - Just a last check on my Shut-Down issue. . . Before I throw myself on the phone - anybody think it possible, even by the slimmest of chances, that the CMOS Battery could cause such a thing? The machine is about 8 months of age, and the battery could in reality be significantly older than that. I have not seen any other indications that would make me suspect the battery, I succesfully flashed the BIOS a month ago, but then BIOS's has been seen to have mysteriously severe impact on a system's apparent sanity. I intend to buy a second PCI-e Video Card and test that before I ship it off! Tony. . . Tag: Trojan Horse Generic 9 Tag: 56949

    - Audio Codecs, INF install doesn't work, Virtualdub This is driving me crazy. I have upgraded assembled a new system and I am running Vista 64 Unlimited. I do a lot of multimedia work and need to get the audio and video (mostly audio), decoders and codecs back installed. I use a great product called Virtualdub http://www.virtualdub.org/ , as a front end to manage my encoding. I use Divx a lot, etc. Here is the issue: * When I get the audio decoders and codes that I have used before in XP 32 bit, many of them get installed by downloading a "rar" folder, extracting them, then "right-clicking" on the file.INF file and the decoder or codec gets installed. * When I do that, with my 32 bit codecs it appears to have been installed, but in reality nothing gets installed. * Apparently, the .INF file, "right-click" install doesn't work anymore with those 32 bit codecs in Vista 64. * I have some codecs that I have found that are 64bit and work fine in the 64 bit version of Virtualdub. * My issues that with some of my video codecs, mainly Divx, is 32 bit. * While the latest Divx 32 bit decoder works great in Virtualdub 32 bit, I need my 32 but audio codecs to get installed, so I can have by audio and video working together. * Virtualdub in particular likes to use ACM type of decoders/codecs, and the ones I have are set to install by installing the .INF file. * In particular, I am in great need of a AC3 ACM 32 bit codec that I can install. I finally found, in a Chinese web site, where someone packaged up a LAME ACM codec in the form of a .exe file. That installed great !! * I have read some things that I really don't understand about Vista 64 "blocking" the INF installation ?? * What can I do and hopefully, that will be changed in the future. Lastly. My favorite source for audio codecs is Rarewares. http://www.rarewares.org/ . Tjhey have the newest and the best selection of the superior open source codecs, some especially compiled for to work with the CPU that one is using. Great side. PLEASE HELP. Thanks in advance !!

    - Bugcheck analysis - can anyone tell me what this means? To cut a long story as short as possible, our Dell PE SC1420 running Server x64 standard SP2 keeps intermittently restarting from a stop 0x00000050 error and logs only a "the previous system shutdown at x on x was unexpected" event in the log. The WinDbg dump analysis (included below) always shows the error to be a nonpaged pool expansion caused by our DAT tape driver (pvdatw2k), which is current and supplied by Dell (there is no native x64 driver). Dell have replaced the drive and cable and most of the major components in the system, but the error keeps occuring. I sent them the crash dump analysis and I have run my own diagnostics and swapped the RAM module positions and a litany of other things (which the system passed) to try and get to the bottom of this issue, but to no avail, and Dell have now closed this case. Whilst I am able to run the dump analysis, I am not really able to make much useful sense of it. I have been keeping records of the memory locations that show up in the crash dump and have noticed that both memory referenced and the instruction address referencing are very similar each time (see below also for previous memory references). The shutdowns always occur when the server is not doing anything e.g. at 3.00am on a weekend. We use ntbackup (and therefore Volume Shadow Copy) to back the server up and I was thinking that may be at fault, but the backup is usually finished before any crash occurs. Has anyone else had VSC cause a nonpaged pool expansion? Is that what the crash dump analysis is showing, or is it the driver? It's clear what memory is at fault, but where is that freed memory exactly? PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA (50) Invalid system memory was referenced.

    - Vista price cuts Vista prices cut by as much as 48%, but not in U.S. Prices for the OS will be trimmed 15% to 20% in the U.S. By Gregg Keizer February 29, 2008 (Computerworld) Microsoft Corp. is cutting the retail price of its Windows Vista operating system by as much as 20% in the U.S., but will slash at least some versions' price tags by more than 46% in both the U.K. and the European Union, the company confirmed today. Late Thursday, Microsoft announced sweeping price cuts to boxed copies of Vista, saying then that the cuts would range from as low as 3% in developed countries to nearly 50% for some editions sold in poorer nations. But by the numbers that Microsoft released today, even customers in Western Europe ? France, Germany, Spain and the U.K., among others ? will also see prices fall by nearly half. ------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks, Microsoft. I won't be buying Vista anytime soon; with 3% price cut you can keep it. Thanks Tag: Trojan Horse Generic 9 Tag: 56901

    - XP x64 Secondary HD and Drivers Hello All, Been searching the archives for a while and I still can't find the answer i'm looking for; when I installed my second 500 GB hard disk, I went to Disk Management and everything went smoothly except for the fact that I am only left with 465GB of space. I understand that I won't be able to use the full 500 gigs but losing 36gb seems a bit excessive to me. Are there any workarounds or did I do something wrong? Also , when installing certain devices such as a smart card reader or usb data link, they don't support the x64 version of Xp I'm running, and I can't get them to work, even if I try and install the vista drivers or install them to my x86 program file folders. Is there any way to force them to recognize the drivers or an alternative besides using a virtual machine to run these programs when I need them? Thanks in advance, Waruta Tag: Trojan Horse Generic 9 Tag: 56888

    - Games Folder after SP1 I know there are other posts floating around about Vista not remembering folder's view settings, but I have a very specific issue. Since SP1, the Games folder no longer shows the Preview Pane. If I turn it on, it turns it on for all windows. I can not find a way to get around this problem. Does anyone know of a solution? - John Tag: Trojan Horse Generic 9 Tag: 56883

    - Stopping Programs From Rotating Cores on Multi-Core System I have XP Pro x64 on an Intel quad core processor. When I am playing multiple simultaneous instances of Everquest, I notice on the Task Manager that the different Everquest sessions are being rotated (seemingly randomly) between different cores, and occasionally, they ALL end up on the SAME core, resulting in everything freezing. My computer can easily handle 3-4 Everquest sessions on a single core, just not 6-7. Ive tried to manually set each instance's affinity via the task manager but its not allowed - and I dont know why. Im using Wineq2 and have the innate Everquest affinity setting to off. No combination of Affinity Settings within both Everquest and WinEQ2 solve this problem. Im told by tech support its an XP issue not Everquest or WinEQ2. So my question is, how do I STOP the OS from rotating my multiple instances of the same game around and force them onto discrete non-changing cores? Also, is there a way to bypass the NOT ALLOWED problem in the task manager and Force then Everquest instances to evenly distribute amongst the 4 cores? Any and all help or advise would be greatly appreciated. Ron Tag: Trojan Horse Generic 9 Tag: 56870

    - No Themes? I did a search in 64-Bit computing and found one thread on this subject, but the poster didn't get a response. I can't find any themes settings for my display. Doesn't the 64-Bit OS support themes? Like the fish aquarium, etc. There isn't anything in the Downloads for Microsoft themes either just games. Will purchased screensavers work with 64-Bit OS?

    - XP x64 - starved for RAM when handling large files? Hi all, For the past couple of months, my XP x64 system (Athlon X2 4800 w/2GB RAM) has been getting awfully slow when processing large files. For example, burning multi-GB files (I alternate between Nero and ImgBurn), copying large files across my LAN, extracting files with WinRAR or running a repair job with QuickPar. The 'Available Physical Memory' figure under the Performance tab in Task Manager can drop to 20MB or so (20,000--the value is expressed in KB), and as soon as these operations stop, it'll jump right back up to maybe 1.2GB, where it more typically hovers in day-to-day operations. The pagefile usage graph typically stays at around maybe 1.2-1.6GB (even when it gets bogged down like I've described), depending on what I'm doing. It's only when I do these operations with large files that the available physical memory figure drops down to nothing and then the hard drive starts going nuts. I've seen it take upwards of 12-15 minutes (hard drive light stays on solid) to extracting a 4GB RAR file--something that used to barely take 2-3 minutes on that same machine, if that much. The hardware configuration hasn't changed in a *very* long time. It's difficult for me to blame the hardware, as this system used to fly and I used to be able to multitask (doing these same tasks in the background while I'm doing something else) without any problem. Nowadays when I burn a DVD or extract a large RAR file, my system's completely unusable--a problem I haven't seen on a system since the early Pentium days... The pagefile and OS are on separate physical SATA drives, and even though there's plenty of well known techniques to help alleviate bottlenecks, this is the same configuration I've been using since long before this particular problem has started appearing, so again, it's not like all of a sudden my system is poorly configured. I'm beginning to wonder if MS has changed the way file caching works in some relatively recent hotfix. Am I the only one seeing this issue lately on XP x64? Tag: Trojan Horse Generic 9 Tag: 56844

    - Windows Vista Capable Judge greenlights lawsuit against Microsoft By Kelly Fiveash â?? More by this author 25 Feb 2008 11:04 Sticky issue of deceptive 'Vista Capable' labels A US judge has given the go-ahead for consumers to file a class action lawsuit against Microsoft for providing misleading information about Windows XP computers being able to run Vista. Redmondâ??s â??Windows Vista Capableâ?? labels first appeared on computers in April 2006, even though the firmâ??s latest operating system didnâ??t get a general release until January last year. According to Associated Press the class action lawsuit, which was certified by US district judge Marsha Pechman last Friday, will specifically look at whether Microsoftâ??s labels generated artificial demand for computers in the 2006 run-up to Christmas. It will also examine if prices had been overstated for computers that couldnâ??t be upgraded to the full-featured Premium version of Vista, which includes the Aero user interface. The two people who originally filed the lawsuit didnâ??t take advantage of a program devised by Microsoft to advise customers on compatibility pre-launch. Despite that, both claimed that anyone who bought â??Vista Capableâ?? machines before January 2007, had been deceived because the majority of users could only run the stripped-down Basic version of Vista, which lacks the media centre, and Aero interface with flip 3D and thumbnails. In May 2006 Microsoft issued an advisor tool that told Windows users whether their existing computer was able to be upgraded to Vista. Redmond said at the time that customers could run a more basic GUI of the OS if they had an 800MHz CPU, 512MB of memory and any DirectX 9-capable graphics card. Together those specifications were enough for Microsoft to define a PC as being â??Vista Capableâ??. The software giant later described its efforts to prepare customers for its Vista onslaught as â??a very broad and unprecedented effortâ?? to help PC vendors, retailers and customers â??understand the hardware requirements to run the various flavours of the Windows Vista operating systemâ??. Microsoft said it is reviewing the ruling, according to the AP. Â® Tag: Trojan Horse Generic 9 Tag: 56837

    - What an awfull couple of days! It's not that I'm really whining, but I certainly had my share of misfortunes just now! (I probably deserve it) My 64bit system commited suicide and the good old retired Athlon XP 2400+ machine, that I enlisted as an immidiate reservist, refused to acknowledge that it had a perfectly good HD a short while ago! A new flat-cable sorted that one after quite a bit of rummaging. So, folks: "Here I am - back at the old Win2K, for now". What a wonderful machine this is - it never ceases to amaze me! I'll be reading over your shoulders for a while now! I can't really figure out what happened with the FX-62 system, though, since I wasn't in the room when it shut down. When I restart, it may run for a couple of minutes, or 20 perhaps, and one time it shut down shortly after I entered the BIOS Setup. It's not hot at all, this is the 'Coolest' system I've ever had (in every respect). It inhabits a Antec box with a Seasonic PSU and a handfull of fans. I did manage to see the readout a few times - CPU 29*, MB 33*, and GPU 43* (threshold at 126*!) I spent a whole day in there and the only suspect I can come up with is the Seasonic - I hope it is, because I think I can remember it came with a five year warranty. Avast has not made a sound or anything. The last thing I did was on the twin XP Home system where I had mistakenly installed the Asus Tool 'AI-Nap' when I rebuild that system a short while ago, I had removed that two or three days earlier because it slowed down that system quite severely. Removing it was a bit of an ordeal since parts of it kept popping up, but a few days before that had stopped completely. But this has taken me so long that I'm effectively stuck with the carcas over the week-end. If anybody have any idea what else I can put under the looking glass until then - let's hear it, please! Tony. . . (sigh!) Tag: Trojan Horse Generic 9 Tag: 56819

    - Importing a .reg file in 32-bit and 64-bit I need to import a .reg file on 32-bit and 64-bit systems. The .reg file contains settings for a 32-bit-only program. In a 32-bit environment the settings are stored at "HKLM/Software/CompanyName/ ProductName", but on a 64-bit system, the settings are stored at "HKLM/ Software/Wow6432Node/CompanyName/ProductName". I understand the idea of the "Wow6432Node" registry key: 32-bit apps in a 64-bit environment that read and write to the "Software" key, are automatically redirected (behind the scenes) to the "Sofware/ Wow6432Node" key. Unfortunately, this seems to only work when the 32- bit app itself accesses the registry. Is there a mechanism in the .reg file syntax or in the "reg add" command line syntax to ALWAYS treat the .reg file as if it were a 32- bit application accessing the registry? Currently I have 2 .reg files (one for each architecture), but that could get messy. I mean, just imagine if I accidentally imported a "Wow6432Node" on a 32-bit system. I have seen several scripts use the existence of this key to determine what the architecture is. Given, this is a horrible idea for detecting the architecture, but it nevertheless presents the possibility of corrupting the registry. TIA for any help, -Jack Tag: Trojan Horse Generic 9 Tag: 56802

    - vista 64 bit corrupt registry Hi, 6 months ago I bought vista home premium 64 bit. So I installed it without a problem and then proceeded to install the drivers for my hardware and also installed some software. Some installations displayed a message "this is not certified by windows" and I clicked "continue anyways". About 3 days later I turn on the computer and I get the BSOD with a message that my registry is corrupt. System restore or safe mode didnâ??t help and the only solution was to reinstall. This scenario happened 4 times in a row. the 4th time, I installed windows at night, went to sleep, turned it back on next morning and I got the BSOD, thatâ??s when I gave up on it and returned to XP 32 bit. I honestly donâ??t know what is actually causing this, the unsigned drivers or maybe some bad windows update. I canâ??t remember which installation displayed the unsigned warnings. 1.I do want to have vista now. I did read that the 64 bit specifically wants signed drivers while the 32 bit version doesnâ??t mention that. Does this mean if I get the 32 bit version I wonâ??t face these problems again? Is this a known problem with vista 64? Do you know what is causing it? 2.In the past 6 months, did things improve and now vista 64 bit is more reliable? 3.Is vista 32 bit more like my current XP 32 bit, very stable and immune to problems? My system is as follows: Asus P5K motherboard Q6600 Intel quad core 4 GB ram 667 MHz Nvidia 7800gtx 2 SATA drives, 700watt power supply Thanks a lot. Tag: Trojan Horse Generic 9 Tag: 56801

    - Unauthorised Program Activities I am having an issue an application that uses FTP to connect to a site to download messages. When running the application it will only connect to the FTP site when it is ran as the local administrator despite the user being a member of the local admin group. As of yet I have not found a reason for this but think it could be related to a feature that protect unauthorised processâ??s. If I use the Run As command on the ftp program and uncheck the 'Protect my computer from unauthorised activity' the app will run otherwise it just hangs. if you choose local administrator and enter the password the program will run and download files. Does anyone have an idea of what could cause this and is there anyway of swtiching off the 'Protect my computer from unauthorised activity' feature? Tag: Trojan Horse Generic 9 Tag: 56765

    - Filepath/Filename beyond 255 characters ? Hello, I have a console/debug project in Delphi 2007. The compiler complains it cannot find the following file: Z:\Delphi\Technology\TDataTransferCommunication\version 1.29 implement integrity method for protocol 2 and multiple integrity methods\DebugProgram\version 0.11 test improved integrity implementation and maybe even crc32 checking\unit_TdebugHash_version_001.dcu The uses clausule simply looks like: uses unit_TdebugHash_version_001 in 'unit_TdebugHash_version_001.pas'; Project is in the same folder. Files are located on a FileDisk Image. So I see a couple of possibilities: 1. Delphi 2007 IDE or the Delphi 2007 compiler is limited to 255 characters for a filepath/filename ? 2. Windows XP X64 Pro is limited to 255 characters for a filepath/filename ? 3. FileDisk Image is limited to 255 characters for a filepath/filename ? This requires further investigation. I shall make some other projects with insanely long folders and filenames to see what happens ;) STAY TUNED ! :( Bye, Skybuck. Tag: Trojan Horse Generic 9 Tag: 56762

    - The clock is late First of all sorry if my English isn't very good as I'm not sure how I can say in English (El reloj se atrasa) so I try with the clock is late... Hi, I have one problem with Vista 64 bits. I have a Intel Quad Core CPU with ASUS P5K motherboard and 4GB of RAM. My problem is that the PC clock is late while running windows. I have a curious example: I boot my PC and sync the clock, then I play World of Warcraft and I see that the WoW in game clock goes ok or delays some minutes but when I exit the game, the clock in the sidebar is half an hour delayed for example. First I thinked it could be a hardware problem, but I think this case is a little strage for being a hw problem... so... any idea?? Thank you very much. Tag: Trojan Horse Generic 9 Tag: 56756
