Casual Junior Member 393 posts Joined: Aug 2006	QUOTE(SetanX @ Mar 14 2011, 09:59 PM) thats why so tempted to get one.. but i wonder.. with the i5-480 n hd6550.. will be battery life n lasting be affected a lot or not, and the temperature spike that most ppl are worried.. yeah, im worried about the switchable mode Aspire 5750G is also very tempting with an i7-2630QM and Nvidia 540M well... switchable enables u to switch ur gpu on the fly and automatically switch to intel when runs on battery to save more power. cpu at 40c is natural when running on power and around 35c on battery, 28c when enters a critical battery state u always can change into discrete in the bios though. but if u not a mobile person, just stick to discrete... lol

Casual Junior Member 393 posts Joined: Aug 2006	QUOTE(cowithgun @ Mar 26 2011, 11:30 AM) somehow, 3820tg has no problem. i m using Winamp too. it works fine. the only problem is that the next and previous key will make Winamp skip a few songs. That's ok for me. See if you try use my mmkeybd.cfg? You may want to back up the original file in C:\Program Files (x86)\Launch Manager first, then unzip the attachment and overwrite the file in that folder. No harm trying... gonna try it and give update asap here is what my 'play' function does, winamp didnt load, open these drive list instead Added on March 26, 2011, 12:07 pmokay, i put ur config into mine, restarted both lm processes and still the same, maybe going to try out with restart later after downloads i wonder about the lmconfig.exe, whats the use of it? cant even see some interface, or even some batch scripts This post has been edited by sarf2k4: Mar 26 2011, 12:12 PM

Casual Junior Member 393 posts Joined: Aug 2006	QUOTE(cowithgun @ Mar 26 2011, 01:56 PM) the lmconfig will not do an anything, ignore it. if you are downloading and dont want to restart, consider restarting "Dritek WMI Service" in Services. that service is the actual process that control Launch Manager. someone else has similar problem like you, read further, apparently at post 12, it was solved using mmkeybd.conf as well http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=242041 Added on March 26, 2011, 2:00 pm they should have 4820/4810 keyboard protector as well. 14" is more common than 13". not sure if they are the same size though... but i do remember seeing 4820/4810 keyboard protector in ThunderMatch or Hybermart (but if u can find in other store, they should be cheaper) my explorer crashed earlier and dunno if it also affect them. i think i really need to restart my laptop

Casual Junior Member 393 posts Joined: Aug 2006	QUOTE(cowithgun @ Apr 13 2011, 05:08 PM) try this: Note that the USB insertion event is a little hard to find. I poked around a bit, and found them located in "Event Viewer/Applications and Services Logs/Microsoft/Windows/DriverFrameworks-UserMode/Operational". Try clearing the log first (just to make it easier to find the event you want), then insert the USB flash drive. Refresh the log, and a bunch of events should show up. I picked the top most event (i.e. the most recent), and assigned the task to that (make sure the event description looks like it has something specific to the particular USB drive you inserted). To assign the task correctly, right click the event and choose "Attach task to this event..." You should be good from there. Source: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows...96-3d2696cf9795 lol... didnt notice that was on the very btm of the posts, but it appears to have more than 10 event logged once the pendrive inserted and dunno which one i should use for the synctoy Added on April 13, 2011, 7:51 pmi think it should looked like this isnt it?
