In the long it dosen't matter if you use a Mac or a PC. i switched from PC to Mac a few years back and don't plan to go back. I have just purchased a intel Mac so that i can run Windows under bootcamp but that will primarily for some gaming stuff. I don't plan running it on a daily basis like I do Mac OSX. There are Mac fanboys, like PC fanboys like yourself. Live with it don't care what the other uses, unless it's to poke fun at Cam because that is entertaining. ohhh sounds like someone has insecurity issues and takes it out using anger. maybe some anger management courses should be in your schedule dude.

Mac is better but lets use pc memory Mac is better, but lets use pc ide Mac is better but lets use unix based os Mac is better but lets use pc cpu So now its better because it costs so much more but is a pc running unix with a mac gui? HUH? more mac logic, i'll find my answer elsewhere. Also there is no more Mac OS, only a mac gui running on unix.

First why is this true? Less than 4% mac usage, so who would waste time writing a virus for that? If a pc users was actually as clueless as mac users and took their advice that shows up everywhere and actually shifted the balance then the mac would no longer be unaffected! One day maybe mac fanboys would actually grow a brain! For an those who feel smart, Mensa(which means stupid) is a club for the smart. I guess in macspeak Genius means moron.

Concerning BSplayer i can't tell you much, i just notice with some people that this problem appears when you try to install a software not fully compatible with vista, in our case BSplayer. Often we think first it's a virus but it's also somes softwares. I hope webtech will release a version compatible soon. Maybe you can do as above after installing your software. Yeah I see.

At first I was not sure but then I did a little experiment. I reinstalled my windows and installed all my software except BSPlayer. Everything was great. Then after a while (approximately two weeks) I installed BSPlayer to see what would happen. After the installation something strange happened. All my folder views kept returning to the default settings (meaning: if i would set a certain folder to List View or Tiles, close it and open again it would be set on Details). When I restarted my computer the problem was gone and everything else was OK. At that point I concluded that I was wrong and the problem was not related to BSPlayer. But the next time I started windows the problem was there. My folder views were OK but my shut down, restart, sleep, hibernate, run command, task manager...all disabled. Even my regedit was disabled. I didn't install or uninstall anything my last windows session so it couldn't have been any other program. So I decided to do it all over again... I reinstalled windows, installed BSPlayer, the folder views problem was there, i restarted my computer, folder views problem was gone, everything was great (no problem at all), then i wanted to restart my computer again but i accidentally logged off, when i logged on again (without restarting) the problem was back, no shut down, restart, task manager, regedit.... (folder views were OK). So basically that's all I can tell you. I'm pretty sure BSPlayer has something to do with the problem, well at least in my case... Hope this helped.

I had this problem too. Fortunately i found a way to solve this problem. First of all, either you run spybot or go in registry: HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-2291346433-2493603234-3576682624-1000\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer and change the value of Noclose and NoLogOff to 0 to active the Hibernate: Click Start button , click All Programs, and then click Accessories. Right-click Command Prompt, click Run as administrator, type powercfg -h on, and then press ENTER. You probably notice that either the Lock button or the command Windows-L is working, to fix it: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System and change the value of DisableLockWorktsation to 0 Then to enable the Task manager: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System and change the value of DisableTaskMgr to 0 Hi everyone. I had this problem too. Fortunately i found a way to solve this problem.

I have had the same problem but mine is worse. I dont have the shutdown button, all task manager buttons are disabled, all anti-viruses cannot be executed, all .exe's do not run, access to the registry is disabled, and at certain times it shuts down the PC. All removal tools are .exe's so they don't work. They also recommend restarting the PC in safe mode but this variant kicks in even when in safe mode.
