The Registry from your desktop would never work on the laptop if you transferred the OS. Its a completely different set of hardware.

Is it me or a lot of the games I have been looking forward to very disappointing.

Finally found the fix I was looking for.

Not Displaying Logon, Logoff, Startup and Shutdown Status Messages

To turn these off:

1. Start Regedit
2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SOFTWARE Microsoft Windows CurrentVersion policie ssystem
3. If it is not already there, create a DWORD value named DisableStatusMessages
4. Give it a value of 1

Worked perfectly. Just a clean screen on startup and log off.

I am not advertising I am posting a good site to learn about overclocking. Anyway here is some stuff I been messing with lately.

If you want to learn how to overclock come over to http://www.extremeoverclocking.com/ forum.

My current system.

What it can do. Older video card in this pic.

A higher clocked dual core will get better FPS than a lower clocked quad core.

"There is no obvious advantage to quad cores over dual cores, at least according to the graphics-based benchmarks. In order for the Q6600 to compete with the dual core E6750, the same clocking rate is recommended. If you wish to combine an E2160 with a Geforce 8800 or Geforce 9, you will need to overclock. Without a clock rate of at least 2400 MHz, you will lose a considerable amount of graphics performance, because the card is not fully loaded."
