Hi, We have a problem with SIMS.net on Vista and Windows 7 Laptops where the error missing or incorrect s:\sims\connect.ini is sometimes shown. In the XP era this always meant the network wasn't connected either by wire or wireless and was easy to fix. It is equally easy to fix on vista\7 by going into my computer and seeing that s:\ has a cross through it, double clicking it reconnects the drive and makes sims work again. (missing network is still also a possibility). This happens a lot and there must be a way to prevent it. Is there a group policy or reg change to prevent this network disconnecting procedure in the newer OS's? Thanks,

I am trying to connect a secondary display to my laptop. But it keeps disconnecting, like per second. My device is Dell Latitude E5440 and the secondary display is a Dell LCD. I am using a VGA cable because the LCD doesn't support HDMI. Please let me know any fix for this... ~Desi_Arsenic

Hello, dear community, After moving to a new apartment, I made a work/playtime space in the living room next to the TV. I took advantage of the short distance of the computer from the TV and connected the video card to the TV as well. So I have a monitor connected to my NVIDIA card via HDMI cable and the TV via DisplayPort cable. When I'm on the computer and the TV is off, I sometimes hear the sound of a device disconnecting and then connecting again. Through various methods, I have excluded everything except the connected TV. I use Win + P to switch screens, either duplication or expansion. I could even get used to that irregular TV reconnect sound, but every time it reconnects, the PC freezes for a second. Which is quite annoying while playing a video game. I've searched all over the internet, it seemed like I've even found the same problem, but nobody helped the person in question. I'm going to try it elsewhere after a few years, so hopefully I'll get lucky. The only solution I have found is to disconnect the cable from the TV or PC, but due to the location of both devices this is very impractical and annoying. Would there be any way to hard disconnect the TV without having to pull the cable out? I can think of a BAT file or a PowerShell script that would disable the "monitor" and then enable it again when I restart it. But I don't know how to do it... o.o Addition: I use Windows 10. Thanks in advance for any answers and advice!
