NBR Vista Tips and Tweaks Guide

[Les]

I have not experienced this problem so can someone suggest a wording I can place as a caveat so those using the program have a heads up? Is it as simple as the fact that your rebooted machine starts with numlock on and you need to turn it off?

I've found mine been changed to 2, so now i switch it back to 0.

AUTOMZ causes this problem in my opinion. follow the instructions of nic. a page in front

Thank you both so much! Everything's fixed, and I don't have to do a clean install (just spent all of yesterday working on one).

nic's fix worked.

It seems to me that AutoMz has stopped my computer from being able to play media (music in iTunes, DVDs in Media Center). This is a fresh reformat and AutoMz is the only program I've used to tweak Vista. I used the more aggressive option to tweak my computer, though now I'm trying to restore my old settings from within AutoMz and it's been hanging at 100% for several minutes now. I'm not going to be using this program again.

Doesn't work for me though, any help or suggestion will be greatly appreciate.

[EDIT]

Search around and i found myself a registry trick of turning it off....

Go to HKEY_USERS\.Default\Control Panel\Keyboard and find the String value InitialKeyboardIndicators.

And below are what the binary number represent.

0-Turns off Num Lock, Caps Lock, and Scroll Lock
1-Turns on Caps Lock
2-Turns on Num Lock
3-Turns on Caps Lock and Num Lock
4-Turns on Scroll Lock
5-Turns on Caps Lock and Scroll Lock
6-Turns on Num Lock and Scroll Lock
7-Turns on Caps Lock, Num Lock, and Scroll Lock

I've found mine been changed to 2, so now i switch it back to 0.

Hope this helps.

With the Ultimante tweaker, what processor would I have (see below for Notebook) and how do I find out what modem I have?

[TL293]

@Jewperman: For processor I just picked detect, it's the second to last choice.

I did the TMM tweak but when I restart I am still seeing the flash. When I go back to task scheduler it still shows as disabled. Here is a screenshot of how I have it set: http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/a...16/Capture.jpg

Did I do something wrong? The flash I am seeing turns the screen black for about 2 seconds and then flashes white in the center of the screen. After the flash it shows the glowing vista circle.

jewperman:

For your processor, choose (Intel Core 2 Duo (E6600-670)...that is the most recent without going to the extreme processors and works fine. As far as your modem goes, you need to have a basic understanding of whether you have a plugin regular phone modem, DSL, cable or higher. Its not in your laptop, but rather, the connection used for your internet.

TL293:
What you are describing is normal and is the change between the black background (w/nolight) and the black background when the LED turns on. I am not familiar with the white in the center of the screen but it is normally followed by the Vista ORB.

Thanks, how long does the tweaking take?

[Les]

10 minutes or so.
