Since it happened to me often in the past and i guess someone could need it too, i am now telling you how to disable the automatic reboot after a blue screen.

just click start > control panel > system > Advanced System Options (on the upper left side) > find the Startup and Recovery section (click the Settings button there) >  then unpick the “Automatically Restart” option in the System failure section. and click ok.

I wish you great fun with your blue screen ;-)

Since so many people want to know how to enable it there is the way to enable the +20dB Microphone boost in Windows Vista.

Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Sound -> Recording -> Microphone -> Properties -> Custom -> Microphone +20dB Boost

thats it, now your Microphone will be very sensitive so maybe you should reduce the voice activation in the Voip programm of your choice. Have Fun!



Vista SP1 installation –> Mic Boost deactivated?!

Today i installed my Vista SP1 I dunno why it took so long, i guess because i have got a damn slow internet connection at the home I am living at. Just got about 1 Mbit down and 256kbit up, it just sucks i am also limited by a transfer volume which is about 6GB per month, what are 6GB in the year 2008 on the Internet? Nothing. But what i really wanted to tell ya if you install the SP 1 the “boost microphone by 20dB” checkbox is unchecked, even if you checked it before you did the update. I did not know why my Sennheiser Headset is not working till I noticed it.
