So I started ’services.msc’ and ‘disabled’ both services. NOW THIS ONLY GETS YOUR COMPUTER UP AND GOING: The fix is here… Hi guys, After doing many researches, I believe this problem is because we changed the permission of a folder incorrectly, the RtBackup folder which is under C:\Windows\System32\LogFiles\WMI\RtBackup . I solved the problem by rebooting the system–>safe mode–> go to RtBackup folder —> delete or rename that folder–> –> go to another folder –> C:Windows\System32\Winevt\Logs –> delete or rename that folder Reenable those disabled services (make sure that the WINDOWS EVENT COLLECTOR service is set to manual) and reboot; FIXED! I know this will work for you as it did for me! I found that my WINDOWS EVENT LOG service and WINDOWS EVENT COLLECTOR service were not working but were still trying to startup!

I haVe been trying to get rid of them for months now to no avail. I've called cheap 2 dial 3x, the CS people are terrible! They are always giving me the runaround telling me to submit an "LOA". ??? They are supposed to e-mail me this LOA for me to fill out to get rid of their svc, but they never send it to me! What's even more interesting is, they told me my husband signed up for it online, and he dosent even know how to turn the computer on!!! My phone co. Is reversing the charges back to them, but I still have to call them every month and ask them to. This time, my phone co. CS rep called cheap 2 dial for me requesting cancellation, and she got the runaround too! How do we get rid of them! If anyone knows please post!

I certainly didn't see the need for HD and how poor the quality of SD was until we upgraded. Heh, I agree.

Even with 'G' speeds wired is faster and thre is less chance of interference. Oh and smart move doing a hard wire to the TV rather than a wireless connection.

What the ethernet & streaming on our TV might end up being good for is watching the occasional YouTube video on the TV rather than showing a crowd on a laptop. As for running wire, hopefully the installed the conduit such that it has access points at various intervals. If so that would make your life easier.

As for the universal remote, while the Logitech Harmony can be pricey, I will gladly take it considering that it can be programmed via USB cable from your PC. Aside from having to know where some keys are, it works quite nicely. @Paul: Actually, I have Comcast’s HD PVR receiver, so I am able to enjoy the HD fare served up for my favorites–”24″ and “Dirty Jobs,” along with the return of “Lost.”

You might consider at least an internal antenna to get better HD reception for local broadcast fare (like your beloved "24"). My experience with universal remotes is they don't live up to my expectations. I hope your experience is better. we also recently upgraded to a Samsung HD TV and do very much enjoy it.
