I agree with Mike. But here is my crude way. For sites I really visit often, I log in and after I am all logged into the site, I save that as a "favorite" or "bookmark" whichever you have. Then, I just click that bookmark and when I get in I am already logged on.

FIXED! @ Trouble, U R a good troubleshooter! Reason I didn't think replace battery is because I had replaced that one about 3 year ago. And as old folks think, "it was just new a while ago". I waited couple of days before this reply to convince myself that it was fixed. After new battery, I...

@ trouble, Thank you for gettin in, I'll consider that PSU after I've tried CMOS battery. And yes, i do switch power strip off after proper shutdown. I know too many folk around here who have bought new computer because of lightening on line. And yes, this mobo has some leds that stay on bright...

@ Randy. Thnx, it is about 30 minute drive for me to Radio Shack, next trip to town I will get 'nother battery, The one running now is only 'bout 3year old but that's something easy to try.

That post was too long, I forgot some details. More than a year ago, I had o' clocked that CPU, what i thought was mildly. It defaults @ 2.2 Ghz, I had it running @ 2.47Ghz. Ran that way for at least a year, maybe that just now caught up with me? I have a Zalman CPU air cooler, I re-did the...

Is my CPU going bad? Startup error: "Warning! CPU has been changed. Please re-enter CPU settings." It is HomeBuilt, 6years old. ABIT AN8 mobo; Phoenix-Award Bios v6.00PG; Athlon 64 3500+; 4 Gig. Corsair XMS, 400 speed; CoolerMaster 650W PSU; Windows 7 home prem. on 200 Gig Sata HD. I like to...

Hi, Mike. I d.lded defraggler from your link, ran it today on 2 drives. Think I like it! First time I have tried 3rd party defraggr. THANX!!

Yep, I agree with CommonTater. I like to customize my sounds and at times i have had something real noisy at startup. You probably want to set some lightweight, tame sound for "start program", and for "close program"

Ya, I think kaspersky is very good, but I'm running free Avira. It seems that many different things can cause this Com Surrogate thing. By all means, keep some sort of anti-virus program, don't go online without something.

I had a go-around with that thing, same error that you showed us. I Googled,and found about a million solutions. The solution to mine was an update to my video card drivers. I'm not saying that will help you, just sharing. I'm running Win.7 - 64 bit.

TY TY TY Thank You very much for the pictures. I dld. WWII aircraft. Great Wallpaper! I am of such age that I can remember the day P38 flew low right over our town. Also have watched B17 fly low, one time at recess, a whole squadron of Bi-Wing trainers went near the school house. Such memories...

Couple more Links Startup sound http://windows7forums.com/windows-7-desktop-customization/2829-changing-startup-sound.html

I did that, discussion over in the "support" forum of this same website. see if this link works http://windows7forums.com/windows-7-support/42446-how-change-windows-7-start-up-sound-logon-sound.html Notice that I did not use Res Hacker, I used XN Resource Editor

Glad to hear you did it! As I already said everyone seems to use slightly different method

I did this, and I like the result. Now if I can just relate to you enough to help. First off, there AIN'T no easy way. Next, it would be easier if you could do Linux, or if you are dual-booted with XP. I suspect older windows than XP would do. There is another thread here in these 7Forums at...
