  1. I always manually patch it. I've also set my XP install disk to already be patched with nLite but the following Windows updates replace it.
  2. The fonts in certain places of windows 7 look bad when ClearType is disabled (for some people at least). Disabling visual styles and using the classic grey and blue (by default) Windows 9x-2k look clears eeeverything up. Anyone else use this configuration?

    PSU wiring

    HA-HA! I didn't rea;lize this...
  4. http://www.diefer.de/speedswitchxp/ This say it works for Mobile but give it a try. I've never tried it, it may be a virus for all I know. I couldn't find an official vendor program for your cpu model. If this doesn't work you might just have to use 7... edit: HMMM Edit2: Actually process lasso pro may do what you want.
  5. Process Lasso is by far the best thing available. Even when it was still young it was great. Well worth the $$$. Free is great too though. http://www.donationcoder.com/Software/Mouser/proctamer/ Process Tamer is the 'lightweight' version of what you want. Lightweight as in simpler. I've used it a ton as well. See the site for a key. It's not a hassle at all. EDIT: Whoops probably not what you're looking for! EDIT2: http://grandstreamdreams.blogspot.com/2008/07/windows-cpu-throttling-techniques.html

    PSU wiring

    I mean the wiring on the mains side of the psu. From the power socket in the back of the psu until it goes into what I assume is a printed circuit board. It might be easy to mix them up if there is any type of connector between them. If it's just a direct solder it might still be mixed. I haven't opened it up yet. I will soon.
  7. I spend hours looking at street view. One of the best things ever.

    PSU wiring

    Has anyone ever encountered or heard of the wiring for a PSU being wrong, possibly with the neutral and hot mixed up? BTW I don't mean incorrectly wired by a user/custom pc built by some person. More specifically a top company like HP (HP in this case). It is the default PSU that was installed at the factory. Specific model is HP a1253w.
  9. That seems to be the way to go IMO. A nice powerful hidden keylogger type program would be less likely to be found than an in your face blocking program. It would probably be better than a stealth blocker type one too. You could set then set security policies with any modern OS to prevent the task manager. I'm sure something could be set up to prevent alternative task managers from running. If there is some keylogger that has the option to be hidden by a rootkit even better. Then maybe find some way to keep GMER and other popular anti-rootkits from running. Obviously the kid should not have administrator access to the PC. edit: doesn't need to be a full-blown keylogger.
  10. Some malware is written or used for the sole purpose to just do as much damage as possible. 99.99999999% is just software damage I guess. Probably just by script kiddies. It's so 80's. edit: And '15 year old' is just a phrase for a highly advanced computer expert with 8 years of experience under their belt.
  11. I have finally set up a quick and simple system for viewing, creating, saving and verifying MD5, SHA-1 and CRC. The main goal was seamless context menu hashing. I used to use HashCalc for simple functions. Flyingbit Hash Calculator seemed to be good enough at first but it doesn't support multiple files. The process is as follows- 1.) Download and install HashCheck Shell Extension. 2.) Download and install HashOnClick (Free version) That's it. HashCheck Shell Extension adds an entry named 'Create Checksum File...'. Right-click a file and click it to bring up a save as dialog. Use the 'Save as type:' dropdown to select the algorithm. CRC-32(*.sfv), MD4(*.md4), MD5(*.md5) and SHA-1(*.sha1) are the options. The filename is auto inserted into the name field followed by the extension. Click save to create a sfv, md4, md5 or sha1 file. A very nice progress dialog will appear with an accurate current file hashing progress bar and a total progress bar when more than one file is to be hashed. 'File.exe' will by default cause a 'File.exe.md5' to be created for MD5. More than one file will cause it to default to 'checksums.md5'. To verify hashes using the .md5 or whatever- Ensure .sfv, .md4, .md5 and .sha1 filetypes are set to open with HashCheck Shell Extension. The filetypes should open with "C:\WINDOWS\system32\ShellExt\HashCheck.dll". Now double-clicking the hash file will open HashCheck and verify it. HashCheck Shell Extension also adds a 'Checksums' tab to the file properties box along with the link to its options. For this I greatly prefer HashTab though. HashOnClick is useful for just viewing the hashes of files. It can also attempt to match the calculated one with what is in the clipboard. It adds a submenu called 'Calculate Hash Value' with MD5, SHA1 and CRC32. Another program that may come in handy is Easy Hash. Easy Hash features 136 different hashes. This makes it something you may want to have just in case. The Options have 2 buttons to register and unregister the shell menu command 'Hash with Easy Hash'. After you get the hash(es) they can be saved as a single .md5 etc. file or multiple to store each file hash in their own.

    Freeware!

    Process Hacker is not what you may remember if you haven't tried it for a while. Formerly .NET it is now in C. Lighter and speedier.
  13. http://www.nsrl.nist.gov/Downloads.htm Civvies can dl them too! I will for fun. FYI this is not the Hashkeeper database that includes child porn and "known good" and "known bad" content. http://www.nsrl.nist.gov/Library_Contents.htm http://www.nsrl.nist.gov/ http://www.nsrl.nist.gov/nsrl-faqs.html The discs contain the following ranges of SHA-1 hash values: CD "A" 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 - 3FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF CD "B" 4000000000000000000000000000000000000000 - 7FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF CD "C" 8000000000000000000000000000000000000000 - BFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF CD "D" C000000000000000000000000000000000000000 - FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF Maybe this should be moved to the Lounge!
  14. It was partially Microsoft's fault. The SP3 installer updates the processor power module without checking to see if it even exists first. It only relied on the registry key being present. Not good practice where OS files are concerned. This alone should have been enough to at least silently update the service pack. Improper usage of Sysprep takes the majority. Edit- Or this approach. It wouldn't even have to be an exe if windows update automatically detected the conflict, just a reg file. Save a few $$.
  15. they should have revised the offending intel component dropper and re-released SP3 way back then.
