I'd like to run a program only on certain days of the week, and only on shutdown on those days. If this is possible, how can ZI do this? Thanks!

Hey, I have a fairly old gaming computer, and it has been pretty good so far aside from a few minor hiccups. Recently, it crashed while I was playing a game of Dota 2, and it was unable to turn back on. I thought my power supply died, so I left it for a bit until I could repair it. A couple of...

Hi, When I choose to either shut down, restart or put my laptop to sleep through the Windows 8.1 start menu, usually everything is okay and the process works, however sometimes (I'd say one attempt on four), the computer is stuck with the screen turned off but the fan still turned on! In this...

So I think most of these are yes/no or simple settings, so I just compiled them here... Is there a way to link programs on a secondary HDD to the Start/Apps menu? Is there a way to view secondary HDD programs in the Control Panel? Namely when uninstalling programs? And ever since I upgraded...

I recently upgraded to windows 8.1 from 7. Whenever I connect my D-Link dongle, windows thinks that it is a read only storage drive. I uninstalled and re-installed the D-Link software but it doesnt work. When I start the "D-Link Connection Manager" it shows the loading screen and then...

Most of the time when I add multiple servers or even single server to restart it won't work. Shows computer name is not valid and in parentheses no 53. Is this since users are connected or do I need to enter fqdn.

I have been having an issue with my system just simply shutting down without any warning almost as if a power outage occurred. No blue screen no notifications nothing. It has happened 4 times now while playing a game in particular. When the power goes out I cant turn the computer back on for...

For the past 2 weeks (approximately), when I click "Shut Down" on my Win 8 laptop, nothing happens. If I click "Sleep," it goes to sleep right away, but it will not shut down. I see by the forum posts that my problem isn't unique. I have tried all three methods described in the post...

First of all, if this is not the right forum, please switch me to it. Over the last several months, I have had a number of Windows shut downs for no apparent reason (often right after I boot up in the morning although at other random times, too). Usually, I am not present when it happens -...
