Mon, 4 Jan 2010 15:33:57 -0800
I recently had someone install a new sound card for me. He had problems
installing the drivers, but did something I didn't understand in the
registry as a "workaround."
I now see a new Run command and I'd appreciate it if someone could explain
what it means--and if it is really necessary:

Yet, when I open "My Network Places\Entire Netwo ...

Mon, 28 Dec 2009 17:36:46 -0800 (PST)
On a Gigabyte M912 net-book computer running Windows XP Home, I
disabled the AutoPlay function. Now it's started running. The
registry configuration that disabled it appears to be intact, but I

AutoPlay" (machine, I think) and "Disable AutoPlay on ...
