I can not speak to the KVM but I have a Logitech cordless keyboard and MX700 mouse connected to two computers via a Belkin USB 4 port switch with no problems at all….

I wish I could be more help but I don’t see that message no matter what I do! I did notice something a little unusual though. I went into the control panel file types and clicked on change and changed it to Outlook Express. Then the Advanced button was changed to Restore. I then started TheBat and it did not give the warning message and the application preferences still showed it set for TheBat. I used TheBat to change the association but the control panel file types still showed Outlook Express but the default was set for TheBat! It appears the once you change it manually via the control panel, it sticks to that setting and from then on TheBat only changes the default and the current assotiation.

Of course, none of this explains why you are still getting the message when you start TheBat. Is there a checkbox near the bottom saying “Don’t show this …” or something like that? I tend to disable all startup type of dialogs (ie: tips, etc) so that may be why I am not seeing the message.

Good luck …

Hi, I have been using TheBat! email client for years and have only answered that question once. I forget what I answered but have never been asked again, even when updating to new versions. I do not know why your manual association did not stick but I poked around in The Bat! and found where it could be set from there. Have you looked in Options/Preferences/Applications ?? I tested a .EML file and found that the association was to Outlook Express also. I put a check mark for .EML and clicked on Associate Now and verified that the association was set to TheBat!. I then did a restart and the association was still to TheBat!.

By the way, I am running Version 3.0.1.33.

Yes. I had this same problem last month and the culprit turned out to be a Sandisk USB drive that had “hung up”. I kept getting the IRQ_NOT_LESS_THAN blue screen when trying to boot when I noticed that the light on the end of the drive was on constantly. I pulled the drive out and the system the booted normally.

Have you looked at the Windows Task Scheduler? It should be able to schedule any task you want to start whenever you want it to run.
Start: all programs: accessories: system tools: scheduled tasks

John, I checked again and can find no reference to UPnP. I am on Firmware version 1.40.1, Sep 10 2001. Maybe to early for that option.
Considering that Gibson gives me a fully stealthed condition, I have going to hold off updating for now!

Thanks again…

Thanks for the referenve.
I have the BFSR41 Linksys router mentioned in the article and just ran the Gibson tests and tested “perfect”. ie: All ports are in stealth mode. I have not upgraded my routers firmware for some time and do not have the UPnP option. After reading this article, I don’t plan on upgrading!

I use XP Pro SP1 and routinely use the task scheduler without setting passwords. For example, I have a calendar come up at 7 am every morning and passwords are not used for this. When creating the task, make sure the Run as: is set to ComputerName/UserID and DO NOT do Set Password. At least that is how I do it..
