Re: balloon tips won't self close, interferes with screensaver

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Go into your network connections. Right click on the network adapter in
question and click properties. DESELECT the item that says 'notify me
when this connection is limited or has not connectivity' you could aslo
deselect 'show item in notification area' if you want but it is nice to
have a visual that you are connected.

I don't have an answer but do have a few points. First off, that balloon is
there because your network disconnected and reconnected sometime in your
absence. This could be your firewall/router resetting itself periodically,
or a faulty port on the router or switch, or could be indicative of a larger
problem with your network.

What exactly is the objective here? I could see the balloon preventing the
screensaver, but I assume it _does_ let the monitor go to sleep in 15
minutes? I always figured the easiest way to make the monitor last longer
and reduce the electric bill was to just power the darn thing off entirely
when I'm not sitting in front of it. This brute force approach seems to work
well for me...

Hi,

I just bought a new Compaq PC with MCE 2005. I have it hooked to a LAN. I
have my screensaver set for 5 minutes, and the monitor to sleep in 15
minutes. I'm not always in the room with that PC, so many times I come
back to that PC several hours later, full desktop display, no screensaver,
and a balloon tip displaying from the systray, usually saying "Your
computer is now connected at 100 Mbps".

On my other machine (XP Pro), balloon tips will generally close themselves
after about 30 seconds. I even tried setting the MCE PC the same way as my
XP Pro, with the "Hide Task Bar" option, and keep the mouse off the task
bar so it closes, but again hours later, balloon showing and no
screensaver. I know there's tweaks to disable balloons, but I don't want
to do that, I want notifications, but want them to self close like on my
XP Pro machine. Thanks much.
