I have an MSI Motherboard that uses the MSI CoreCenter utility for single core processors.

Hello everyone, I am trying to run Windows Vista's "disk cleanup" program automatically once a month. However, it doesn't run the way I would like it to. I type "cleanmgr /sageset:1" in the "run" box to record the type of files I want cleaned up. Then, I tell the task manager to run "cleanmgr.exe /sagerun:1". It runs, but it ignores the options I set for it and only cleans up the temp...

Hi, I have a western digital 200gb usb hd which seems to hang the vista startup for some three to four minutes if its connected. Unhooked and vista starts well without the delay. I read somewhere that somebody put it down to mainboard locations of usb i.e.: front or rear and the rear had more power? My hd has its own power supply so could this still be a factor? tia for any advice. Stuart.

I then discovered that my...
