Precision m65 forgets settings
Hi,
I have a new Precision M65 laptop with XP. Most of the time when I start up, it will automatically reset a bunch of important settings and I want it to stop! I am logging in on an administrator account.
Specifically, it makes these changes:
-turns off Windows Firewall service
-uninstalls SigmaTel audio driver preventing mic input and playing mp3s
-changes Appearance from Win XP style to Win Classic
The XP->Classic switch happens automatically within a few minutes of logging in.
Reinstalling the audio driver works temporarily. Playing an mp3 in WMP will work after reinstalling the sigmatel drivers until WMP is closed and restarted. Running "netsh winsock reset" and restarting re-enables the firewall but then everything gets reset again after I log in ...
Any ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks!
