Microsoft Support & Discussions

I have a few users that never turn off their laptops, they just close the cover whenever they go home. This means that their computers are rearely rebooted. The problem is that their KMS activations never refresh like every other computer in the company. While the normal computers refresh every 7 days, wether they are rebooted or not, the ones that are sent to resume mode do not refresh until they are rebooted. My question is why does Vista not refresh the KMS activation if the computer is resumed from standby. I know rebooting is a viable atlernative, but it would be nice if it wasn't a requirement.

I'm sure there must be a simple explanation but I just cannot seem to see it..... In my Windows Explorer listing of files and sub-folders in my Vista "Videos" folder there are no listings under the date modified columns for the files when "Detailed Views" are selected. All other folders show the date the file was modified (as well as size etc.). What am I missing?

You are 100% correct. You, being the Jerk, counting the number of idiot posts you make is a good job for a retard like yourself. Maybe you should consider getting a job.
