Thanks cybercore! setsuspendstate 0,1,0 was the first option I tried... posted all over the internet. It looked like a bios level sleep option. Psshutdown worked amazingly for me, though. The shortcut was actually for use with phonemypc so I can control my computer from my smartphone. That was...

Hopefully this isn't as hard to explain or understand as what I've made it out to be in my own head. Anyway... I am trying to create a shortcut to put my pc (W7 x64) into sleep. Every single how-to that I can find on the internet, however, puts the PC into sleep at BIOS level. It isn't the same...

Is the version MSDN gets the one with unlimited installs?

First off, Linux is not more stable. Due to its nature and how you compile and install everything, it attracts the type of people who can dive head-first into any instability issues it has and fix them themselves. You can do nearly the same thing with Windows, but anyone who uses windows has...

I forgot about virtual XP mode. Is that the feature that was removed? I won't ever have any use for that... but if Compatibility mode were removed, it would be worth upgrading. I guess I'm getting Home Premium. $49? Is that for 64 bit as well?

Unless I am misunderstanding this... according to that chart, compatibility mode is disabled in home premium?

Well, they do... sort of. You just have to know where to look. Newegg sells disks as "Windows for system builders", and the licensing agreement assumes the 'builder' will be responsible for the end customer service rather than MS. Link That is a bit of a price difference, with Vista 64...

I don't keep anything on the taskbar or desktop anyway. All of my games are on RocketDock, which is set on the lower left side of the screen just above the start menu, and it autohides. All of my other programs are either bound to G keys (I have a Logitech G19 keyboard), or they are in my start...

Yes, I absolutely will be buying W7 without all of the toolbars. I hate cluttered desktops.

I am having a bit of an issue with my newest install that I haven't run into before... the taskbar is darker than the window border. That is why I'm searching for a way to make it completely transparent. I have a 3rd party app which removes the taskbar and leaves the start button, and it looked...

I remember reading a post a while ago about making your taskbar and windows totally transparent (rather than tinted or 'glass'), but I can't find it now. Does anyone know how to do this?

I haven't seen it posted yet, so I'll throw this one in the pool as well. Gizmo works flawlessly, and is also a free program. Tested on both x86 and x64.

It isn't the wireless card. I run the same wireless card in one of my Dell laptops, which is running 64 bit RC with no issues. Just as an added bit of knowledge... I am getting a new WiFi card pretty soon. After it is installed, I will attempt 64 bit again. This time, however, I think I will...

Is there a way to hide the taskbar so it will not pop up when you mouse over it without actually disabling the start menu? (accessing the start menu via the keyboard windows key rather than clicking.) I have found a few things via google about hacking the registry to disable the start menu...

I have the L305D-S5869. I have another thread floating around that came after this one. You are right, it wasn't the video drivers. I cannot, however, figure out which one it is... or if it is even a driver issue. The last time I reinstalled 64 bit, I got a bluescreen on initial restart. That...
