The MBC is screwed-in about 7/10 of the way. Previously (with the RSR on) it was in about 2/10 (a fifth) of the way. SupraJames - was that 1.2bar with a restrictive exhaust, or with your NUR? Obviously with a NUR I'd expect loads of boost.. as I had with my RSR. Not really considered the warm weather, but I was testing last night @8pm so it wasn't blistering hot.. hmm. Any more thoughts guys? Should I screw this MBC in all the way?

I borrowed a similar looking gas powered one from my accountants. It smashed a milk bottle from 20 feet away!

Anybody? ..

It's Fedora Core 5 with some modifications to the theme - Gartoon icon theme from the gnome art site, and an awesome x cursor theme from the kde-look site. I had Gentoo on my laptop and followed the beautify-gnome guide on the gentoo wiki site, but my laptop has developed some bad sectors on the disk and I can't be arsed going through all that again.. Everything is working really well. Run my Sage accounts through tsclient on a terminal server. NetSupport Manager the remote control package that I use seems to work reasonably well through WINE. pptp-client works too so I can connect to customers VPNs. Gnome's NetworkManager isn't working for pptp vpn connections though - I have compiled from cvs and it's all there but the connections aren't happening properly. That's Mikee the web developer. He's been in Beeston before, then up until recently worked at a web company called Reality Creations in Armley and lived a couple of doors away, now I think he's left that company and that house. Seriously talented chap. Wears funny outfits though

yeah! It's getting pretty frikkin' groovy now - check out my screenshot.. http://www2.css-networks.com/screenshot.png

Did it work then?

yep no worries but thanks anyway mate.

It was confusing for me too - been updating both files. just download http://www2.css-networks.com/wgakill.cmd

Yes. After fitting my new shocks I didn't tighten the bolts properly. Can't remember if it was the centre bolt on the shock itself or the three surrounding ones which bolt it to the car. Easy to get to anyway so have a look.

great stuff. Thanks for your help and patience I've made it friendly now, so it just says "it worked! please reboot.." or "it didn't work, sorry" and hides all the other output, since even when sucessful there would have been various 'ERROR:' messages reported due to trying to delete & terminate three times.

You said you unzipped it - so the password isn't on the rar file itself then? In which case ignore what I said. Are you sure you have actually sucessfully unzipped (unrar'ed) it?

Sometimes. If you can't find the password (look for a corresponding .nfo file or something at the site where you got the rar file) then just give up. The password isn't decryptable..

Cool. Looks like windows update lets me re-install the WGA Notify tool. I'll see what happens now. I haven't used the windows update in a long time but in searching for a way to get it to work (wga problems again..) I came across this muBlinder. Just in case anyone wants to use windowsupdate.microsoft.com ..

OK Jake - if you get chance please re-download and try again Also the script now stores your working directory and returns you there afterwards..

Awesome. I just WGA'd my computer (you wouldn't believe how difficult it was to get the wga notify actually installed on here!) and.. result. I ran the script, and had the same problem as Jake - wgatray.exe couldn't be deleted. I terminated the process manually through taskmgr and as expected it respawned. I then re-ran the script, and it killed it and sucessfully deleted it. I am thinking that, since this has to be a very fast process, the system had cached the script and therefore ran it faster a second time. I'm certain that terminating the process with taskmgr had no effect (since it returned of its own accord.) Alternatively, it might not be so much about how soon after terminating that the delete operation happens, but more about when - e.g. the process could be being monitored every 300msec, and perhaps it's about getting within the time-frame window. So, I'll modify the script so that it creates a separate "dienow.cmd" script, and runs this two or three times.

bugger. oh well it was worth a try I think there are varying versions of this thing. Going to install it one of my computers here and play. I just found out my laptop has a legitimate XP on it. Bugger

Jake's gone quiet.. I hope I didn't break his machine You need to reboot after btw for it to remove wganotify.dll

oh well

hmm. On the machines I was working on, wgatray.exe didn't have any child processes - I set the script to do a tree kill anyway, just in case (taskkill /t) but I wonder if there's a new improved wgatray

No mate it's just a batch file. You have to run it. All it would do on a legit machine is set your automatic updates option to disabled, and stop the wga notification applet if it's installed.

hmm. if that's the file that you ran before (it sure looks like it) then it doesn't make any sense. can you try http://www2.css-networks.com/wgakill2.cmd anyway mate?

Perhaps it's cached somewhere at your end/your isp. Try http://www2.css-networks.com/wgakill2.cmd (same file, new name..)

You must still have the old version - I just modified it not try to delete wgalogon.dll. try downloading again and check that line 10 says "del wgatray.exe" , not "del wga*"

I have seen the other solutions, and for the most part this is what this script does. I'm just wanting it to be easier so that if someone phones up I can say 'download and run this.." Worked for someone else who tried it today, but it needs to be fast at deleting the wgatray.exe file after terminating the process. I had given the command 'del wga*' which meant it first tried to delete wgalogon.dll (and failed), then moved onto wgatray.exe - too late. The script removed wgalogon.dll upon reboot anyway so I've ammended it to just try to delete wgatray.exe after killing the process.

thanks mate. If you haven't already cleared it off, can you try again (I've updated the file..)
