Checked the CBS log which confirms that there are numerous files that could not be repaired. I am sure that there must be another...

Build a new HTPC and it's working, yeaah. Only one problem remaining, it will not go in to power sleep. However I can force it in to power sleep (in the shut down pull down menu), so it knows how to do it and it stays in power sleep. But it won't do it by itself. Been looking around the web and found several topics, also tried different things but the problem remains. Any ideas on how...

They used to be in a drop down list with only an up arrow appearing. And I could call them up with the arrow at...

Is their a way to clear old entries out of the Notification Icon part of Control Panel? This is a small thing, I know. The thing is I don't like having the Icons available for Programs that are no longer on my computer. Some of them contained Malware. So, I got rid of them as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, they left small reminders. Thanks.:)

I noticed that if I leave my PC on for a long time, and even if I don't open any application, that the RAM (Physical Memory) Usage, as reported by the "Performance" tab in Windows Task Manager, will increase as time progresses. I'm curious what will happen if I leave my PC turned on indefinitely without rebooting (several weeks, months), will the RAM usage eventually go to 100% or over, forcing...

I cannot believe that I'm the only person that runs into this problem. So here I am asking the community. I've run into problems with the machine that are clearly related to corrupted chunks of the OS. Restore points do not go back far enough. Only an image from very long ago would likely resolve the problems. However, restoring that older image requires hours and hours updating and...
