that really sucks, i cant tell if its about to die. so it sometimes just shuts down.

i mean its good that it does that fancy hibernation stuff and doesnt lose my stuff

but the option to turn it on in taskbar preferences isnt even on anymore (its grayed out)

actually my computer died while i made this thread. thats kinda annoying

there isn't an option in power preferences? i seem to remember something along the lines of this...

or maybe your battery is that dead that it doesn't see it as an ACPI battery

it wasnt in advanced settings either evan, i have no idea why it grayed out on me... i guess the battery is just fucked. im gonna reset the charge levels in the bios tonight while i'm in bed and see if that helps

THANKS SCRUMP

WE'RE ALL PULLING FOR THE OLE GAL

oh.

i think you need to downgrade to XP that should solve the problem.
theres a nasty virus called vista going around and it looks like you have it

thats a real bold choice for a background

4/22/2008 12:28:49 AM

hahaha i actually had it tri-booting XP, vista, and slackware at one point. i probably just b0rk4d the whole thing

^i like it. i hardly use this thing during the day, and it looks pretty TIGHT in the dark

Your computer obviously consumed and absorbed an S2 organ, which removes its dependency upon being plugged in. Your computer effectively has infinite power now.

i never really posted here to find a fix, but i did find one because im so bored and unable to sleep. so just in case anyone ever searches chit chat for random computer questions

apparantly you shoud just erase both the keys (besides default) in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify

and restart explorer.exe

worked for me

I'd agree with you but he said it still shutdown occasionally so it isn't an S2 organ. also never though ti would find another evangelion fan on TDUB

You can find just about anything on t-dub, friend.
