I added an external monitor that will beep within 5 minutes whenever an executable is detected with the current date. This way, even when surfing under the GUEST LID, I can use audio cues to keep track of my system...

FINALLY!!! I was able to get a sound by using PLAYSOUND over BEEP and MESSAGEBEEP, so, at least MY program NOW has sound under the GUEST LID, unlike ECHO !!!

Interesting that Windows' own ECHO also FAILS to beep under the GUEST logonid, but sounds fine under my ADMIN logonid: ECHO Ctrl-G ENTER Under GUEST, Control Panel/Sound/Sounds/Default Beep/test works properly. What Registry tweak/whatever? is blocking ECHO, and therefore, my program?

It appears that running under the GUEST logonID also suppresses sounds, as my program works properly (ie: audio beeps) ONLY when run under an ADMIN logonID!?

I had found that, to not have my programs visible in the TaskBar (ie: DSNTODAY), I must, in the General Tab, select 'run whether user is logged on or not'. Unfortunately, tho logically, this also seems to apply to sound (ie: the Win32API BEEP and MESSAGEBEEP). When I select 'run only when...

Regarding my program, now I base my decision on the result of GETFILETYPE, which makes more sense; if FILE_TYPE_DISK, I do the READFILE, otherwise I do the PEEK and trust the # of records returned. In my testing, now the RC=6 can't occur, and all works as expected. This, of course, does NOT...

I was trying to get the 'CD' (change directory) DOS command to work with input redirection (left arrow), but could not do so, tho, thank goodness, I found PUSHD&POPD so I no longer need CD in my .BAT now. However, I could not get any of these commands to work either: TYPE, MORE, and especially...

I would use Process Monitor from SysInternals. When your filters prevent recording of "normal" stuff, what's left should at least give u a clue on what it is...

Filters are cool to throw away or block records (ie: traffic). With the Capture filter, u can throw away the WiFi BROADCASTs which, if not diagnosing a problem w/the computer recognizing it, it's best to just not save them; however, they are gone for good. But, with the Display filter, they are...

Yea, my PROCMON hilites UDP/TCP traffic in YELLOW. My 2 computers are wired thru a Netgear router. My WiFi is just a cell per se, but interferes w/my router and so, to surf the 'Net, I must first DISABLE my router; else, all DNS requests go to the router, which no longer has Internet access...

Sometimes, to just get an overview, I just use the Display filter/DNS Protocol & APPLY, assuming a DNS request is sent, which usually is necessary to surf the 'Net. However, the summary & detail frames are the best when trying to decide where things came from. I also get Ethernet (pink to me)...

Sorry, I've never seen this B 4. That's a very core part of Win. Google has a lot of hits on it, tho. Even a few with "nt+705c0" tho mostly in non-English.

Perhaps try this: Win7 INVASIVE HIPER MS PROBLEM; chopped windows (MS:DESTROYER OF APPS) | Windows Secrets Lounge)

I had a similar Black CRT w/AMD and a new driver fixed it. Probably not yours, but the details are here: Running Win7; CONSTANT SPORATIC TEMPORARY "BLACK SCREENS" with ext VGA | Windows Secrets Lounge
