Give Startup delayer a try. That's what I use to manage startup apps. - Rohit

winpatrol is another good tool to manage all this (and free) - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)

you could check the services manager from computer management snap in. Check to see if there's multiple entries in there too. - alphaxion

Thanks everyone. It's definitely a registry edit I'm after but none of the ones mentioned above. - Kol Tregaskes

I have never got that stuff to work in the first place :( - Rahsheen ™, Coach "Red"

I've got this on the EXE - -enable-user-scripts --enable-extensions -enable-sync - not changed this in ages. - Kol Tregaskes

What version of Chrome you running?? - Roberto Bonini

4.0.249.25 - Kol Tregaskes

What I currently have is 2 drives, 150Gb and 300Gb drives and a new Blu-Ray drive (all SATA - so it's found the Blu-Ray drive and drivers fine). - Kol Tregaskes

Hi kol, you should update your mainboard drivers. I think that's the problem. - `aziz´ Alihan ÇETİN from fftogo

The issue might be that the 2 current drives are in a RAID though they appear separate in Windows (and have done for a long time). So a little confused there. They appear as one in Device Manager though: "NVIDIA JBOD 393.9G". - Kol Tregaskes

I'll grab the latest nForce drivers and give that a go. - Kol Tregaskes

I remember having read about this again (sorry, don't remember where!) an someone mentioned a solution involving XP- installing XP on a partition so you can see the disk and then run the 7 installer, or something like that. - Citronella

Updating the nForce drivers fixed it. Thank you, should have tried that myself. :-) Yippee, 1TB of extra space. Let the games begin. :-) - Kol Tregaskes

Now I need to move my Steam installation to the new drive, hmmm.... - Kol Tregaskes

Hi Kol, Maybe you have a Windows. All the problem is this :) - Osman Üngür

Thanks for your help! #smlthankyou!!! Tada: http://pipes.yahoo.com/seeming... :) - See-ming Lee 李思明 SML

Wow! Great idea - LouCypher

A few more here: http://www.ebuyer.com/search... Cheapest one for £272. - Kol Tregaskes

I'm leaning more towards a netbook now (over a mobile phone). I'll be able to work on a netbook far faster than I ever could on a mobile phone. - Kol Tregaskes

I think most netbooks run Win7 pretty well. I was running it on a Dell Mini 9 with 1GB ram and an 8GB SSD and it wasn't terrible. Win7 is the first version of windows that's more efficient than it's predecessor. - invariant - farewell FF

Yeah, it's the best OS from Windows. - Kol Tregaskes

logitech - Farshad

Farshad, more specifically which one? - Kol Tregaskes

there are lots to choose! look here : http://www.logitech.com/index... - Farshad

I know, but which one would you recommend? :-) - Kol Tregaskes

nothing by Apple, EVER, I'm still traumatized by they're might mouse - sofarsoShawn

I wouldn't buy anything from Apple anyway. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes

i really like it , mx1100 http://www.logitech.com/index... - Farshad

The Magic Mouse is really quite nice. I hated short-life scroll ball on the Mighty, too. But for a laptop, probably not. - LogEx

I had a similar question recently. http://friendfeed.com/atmostr... - Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)

*shrugs shoulders* dunno, I'm using a microsoft one right now but I'm not too impressed with it's ergonomics (or maybe I just have big hands and you know what they say 'bout that), but, my last logitech one was MUCH better, actually I would, I would recommend to start there, they're specialized in that field. Cuz it all really depends on what you're looking for in a mouse, some of them are so advanced now they'll walk your dog. - sofarsoShawn

vertical mouse :) see the one Matt uses http://www.mattcutts.com/images... - ffcode

I really like having 2 buttons under the thumb and the only ones I found that did that for mini mice are Trust. Cheaply priced but pretty good! - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)

sofarsoShawn is right microsoft mouse aren't good: uncomfortable logitech are the best in horizontal/conventional mouse: ergonomic but best still would be a vertical mouse. never go in for mini/small/made for laptop mouse they are uncomfortable at first place if you rely heavily on mouse small mouse means evident pain - ffcode

Do the mini mice have a specific name? :-) Apart from "small mouse". ;-) - Kol Tregaskes

Ah notebook mice? :-) - Kol Tregaskes

I'm liking this one: http://www.ebuyer.com/product... - Kol Tregaskes

Hmm, the MS one looks good: http://www.ebuyer.com/product... - Kol Tregaskes

@Kol, I have the MS 8000 and 5000. Advantage of the 5000: uses laptop's onboard BT. Drawback: sometimes takes a long time to wake up, sometimes needs to be repaired. It's a pain. I switched to the Logitech Nano and simply leave the mini dongle plugged in. http://www.logitech.com/index... - Stephan Planken

Useful info, Stephen. Thank you. - Kol Tregaskes

I have gone back to wired since batteries going down at the wrong time are just too much of an annoyance but the Trust ones exist with the mini wireless usb dongle and normal and bt and cable, and in optical or laser etc. http://trust.com/product... I've had this little guy wireless and wired: http://trust.com/product... - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)

one thing i love Trust for and I have no idea why nobody else does it: on their products is always printed the URL for the drivers page - eg: trust.com/15139 - So logical and helpful to the user - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)

I use the Logitech MX400 laser mouse and I'd recommend it to anyone. In any case, I'd never buy a mouse without laser tracking anymore. It has two thumb buttons, something which I'd also would not want to live without. They're just too convenient as forward/back buttons for web browsing. I think carrying a regular mice with you is worth it, considering the extra comfort during use.... more... - Meryn Stol

Kol, I see you're considering a bluetooth mouse. I have very bad experience with bluetooth mice. At least the times I tried, the tracking performance was *way* below that of corded and radio mice. It may even be something intrinsic to the Bluetooth protocol, because I can't believe engineers would be proud of delivering such awfully performing mice. The only advantage is having no dongle, but you pay dearly for it. For me, tracking performance (resolution, responsiveness) trumps every other concern. - Meryn Stol
