just curious... I know it has something to do with the "Run" command box, but I don't know what else to do.

ok, all you do is go onto command prompt and type in "ping xxx.xxx.xxx", wer xxx.xxx.xxx is watever your friend's ip address is. Then, it will come up with a whole bunch of info and stuff.\n\nalso, if you type in "ping/exe", it gives you a key to some of the acronymes

Try doing it in the safe mode... Or try doing it frm the command prompt...

you probably have to many background programs running, go to msconfig and clean up any unnessary programs.

So this could simply be an application starting up and then shutting down right away.  Sometimes programs do that in order to accomplish something like quickly check for updates, etc.\n\nIt's a bad design on the programmers side, but it isn't necessarily anything malicious.  Run a spyware/virus check just in case, but I doubt it's a big deal.\n\nAlso, if you are curious, you can use the task manager in windows (hit Control-Alt-Delete just once) and you can see what programs are actually running at the time.  Most you won't recognize, but you can do some quick net searches to find out any ones that look odd.

why are you typing msconfig in the run box? What are you trying to run? If it's the IP you're after then you need 'cmd' to get to MSDos then 'ipconfig'

Yes you can\n\nGo to "Start"\n\nThen "Run"\n\nType in "cmd" Enter\n\nThen type in\n\nipconfig  /all  (Enter)\nipconfig /relese (Enter)\ninconfig /renew (Enter)

ok if you go srart-run you don't type the name what it looks like the file has different name which it runs. so go to property of the main icon of the program and you will see the name just type that name and it will run

They needed a spot for it. I've never accidentaly hit the WIN key. I can't tell why CTRL or ALT would be used in fast succession... But he just put it there because it was out of the way.

You can initiate it from a command prompt, even from another computer.\n\nStart > Run > type "CMD" (no quotes)\n\nthen type "shutdown /?" without the quotes to give you all the options.\n\nEDIT: You could also make this a batch file to run based on an event (time, etc). Simply open notepad, type your command just like you were using the command prompt, and save it with a BAT extension (Example: REBOOT.BAT)

Is there a macro hidden in it somewhere, that is running every time you open it? This is _a_ possible solution...\n\nRawlyn.

the command name i.e. run

Do you have the source code and are compiling and linking the application yourself?  Or are you stuck with an executeable that you cannot change?\n\nIt is rather difficult to run a multistep batch job unattended when one of the steps hangs until an error dialog is dismissed. :-(

Sounds like something running in the background....I dont know why people insist on running programs they aint using! They hog system rescources, mainly ram! Ram is an area of memory that does the actual running of your software. To make it simple....say you have 128 megs of ram. You have a game that requires 64 megs to run...you also have weatherbug, yahoo messenger, and god knows whatelse also sharing this ram and using another 100 megs. What do you suppose happens? CLOSE ALL that bullshit down! Stop some of that crap from running on startup! You will be MUCH happier with the way your system runs!

are you able to read what the message is?\n\nclick on yes, probably your computer is asking whether or not if you want to run the application on your computer. \n\nif not then try re-installing java and then try again. \n\nhope that helps.

If it is what I think it is then :\n\nClick start and press Run....  in the box that appears type : cmd and hit enter.\n\nI think this is right.

I don't know if this includes the "Run" command, but you can give it a try:\n\nRight-click Start, and choose Properties.  Make sure the "Classic Start menu" radio button is selected, then click Customize.  Click the "Clear" button, and I think that should clear your list.
