hey Vishal thanx ..though after posting i had gone through those threads ..still thanx

But wat i didnt find in any of those tutorials or any where till now is
Registry hack to enable/disable Run in the Start

Please

[Vishal Gupta]

Open regedit and goto:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

In right-side pane look for a DWORD value NoRun. If its there, delete it. If its not there, then create it and set its value to 0. Reboot/log off to see the changes.

hey
vishal thanx again man ...but i think i will hav to bother u again....

i dunno wat the reason of the problem is ..but

My system clock (the rtaskbar clock) seems to be not working properly ..meaning it is running late ...
even if i had set it to the current time again and again
its lagging

Also many times while booting its showing that the sys date n time is not set and i hav to set it evwery time through Setup.

Its happening bcoz of the weak CMOS battery.
Open ur cabinet and u'll see a small coin size battery attached in the motherboard. Remove it and insert a new battery. U can get the battery from market within 20-30 Rs.
