Windows Forum / Windows Me / System Tools / November 2004PCHealth Scheduler Problem
Hi I'm new to the group and have the following question. How can I modify PChealth Scheduler (Data Collection) from starting every 10 minutes, I have changed it in the Scheduler but every time I go back to the scheduler it changes back to 10 mintues. I would like the Scheduler to start the program every 5 hours. Also does anyone know what the -c or -s switch does? Thanks for any help! Dick You may find the following info of interest......it was submitted many moons ago by one of the supreme gurus, Mr. Mike Maltby: PCHealth "The PCHealth entry in MSConfig | Startup and also in the Task Scheduler, refers to the PCHealth Scheduler for Data Collection routine (pchschd.exe) which launches winmgmt.exe to collect software and hardware configuration data that can be accessed using Help & Support's System Information's History view. In other words it allows you to see changes over a period of time to your system such as drivers. The details collected are contained in the files CollectedData???.xml files in the folder ..\windows\pchealth\helpctr\DataColl. Note that all that pchschd.exe is doing every ten minutes is checking if the system is idle or not. If idle it launches winmgmt.exe to collect the information and sets itself to run again in 6 hours, if not it continues to run at ten minute intervals until it finds the system is idle. As to whether you need this historic data or not, only you can decide. A number of us have long since decided to disable pchschd.exe having no use for the collected data. It should be noted that if you contact MS or an OEM for help that it is possible that they might request you send them these files. If you do choose to disable pchschd.exe it is ESSENTIAL to delete/disable it from both MSConfig | Startup and the Task Scheduler as otherwise the startup entry will recreate the Task Scheduler entry when the system is rebooted. Note also that disabling these entries does NOT affect either System Restore or System File Protect, nor AutoUpdate or your ability to use Help & Support, all part of what Microsoft call "PCHealth". -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP mcmaltby@hotmail.com ============================================ Heirloom, old and keeps older notes > Hi I'm new to the group and have the following question. > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > Thanks for any help! > Dick Thanks for your help!

For me at least is has always been: Whisky - Scotch (Scotland) Whiskey - Irish (such as Bushmill's) But then again, I tend to drink neither. :-) As for the products from other countries none can really be called whisky <g> and certainly not your Canadian sugar water.

You prefer the nasty medicinal one?? 8-)) As I think I mentioned earlier I don't really drink whisky in any of its forms. I tend to prefer beers and wines and if drinking spirits tend to stick with the good old G & T you dislike so much. :-) I admit though, despite not liking CC, to being partial to various liqueurs but in the right place at the right time such as with strong black coffee after a meal. Similarly port or brandy. SignatureMike > LOL!! You prefer the nasty medicinal one?? 8-)) Actually, G & T is fine......I happen to be allergic to beer in particular (watch me swell up, grin)......and a bit to wine, but I like a nice dry white one.

You prefer the nasty medicinal one?? 8-)) You're probably thinking of neat poison (absinthe) which was banned for many years in quite a few countries (and probably still is in some) due to the effects brought on by the wormwood used to make it. (http://www.absinth.com/) Interestingly though it was first produced by M. Pernod in the late 18th century so you're closer to the truth than maybe you thought. :-). SignatureMike > Good Lord, Joan!!

I remembered only that it was green and had some poisonous effect......I see by the website that it has a sort of cannibis in the wormwood......guess Shane will now run out and buy some, lol!!

No, they're still not allowed to sell it. I did wonder if I could get more dihydrocodeine out of my doc and if so, if it'd work. But that's a drug that having kicked I don't want to take again.

I believe that's what I'm taking, ie Codeine with Paracetamol (what the Yanks, at least, call - iirc - acetominaphen). Co-codamol it's known as here. But you're limited by the amount of paracetamol you can take before killing your liver. Apparently that's a painful way to go! I've just woken, in less pain but more hung over than this time yesterday. I hope it's healing, as it took half a bottle last night and I don't relish honking up into the bargain. Shane > > Oddly enough, I snapped it off biting down too hard on a Smartie!! Kinda > > dumb, eh? > > Ha. We're talking the candy-coated chocolate thingy? Yeppers!! Innocent looking little candies. Haven't eaten one since. My dentist said he was adding that to his list of ridiculous things people break their teeth on, grin. And Tylenol 1 is acetaminophen with codeine......you can buy that over the counter. Tylenol 3's are really strong and used after operations and dental extractions and the like, but I don't recommend them as they do a number on your stomach. I took two, I believe, after the dental surgery and that did me in. Along with the antibiotic. You probably don't notice the pain coz you are so hung over, grin!! Cheers......Mum > > I thought there was only one......and bit down hard on two of the suckers. > > Pain?? You betcha!! [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Shane The Tylenol 4's are the good ones......had them after a hernia surgery.....lovely things, they are. Heirloom, old and gives a whole new meaning to 'la la' land > > > Oddly enough, I snapped it off biting down too hard on a Smartie!! > Kinda [quoted text clipped - 37 lines] > > > > Shane Interesting. I see they all have acetaminophen with varying quantities of codeine. Before I kicked them I was on pure 32mg dihydrocodeine which is virtually identical to codeine. Max dose was 2, so 64mg, which is about what a Tylenol 4 contains, but you could have 3 tylenol 4's without exceeding the dangerous level of acetaminophen. That would give a dose of codeine of approximately the same strength as morphine. Meanwhile, I used to take, not the prescribed dose of DHC, but the amount it took to get me able to, eg, work on the bike, instead of laying abed for days in discomfort rather than agony. I think the most I took at one time was 8 DHC's. When I quit - and indeed every time I ran out before I could reasonably request more (which ended up being every month) - I went through classic cold turkey. I gained an acute understanding of the trap heroin and morphine users fall into and how opiates really are a public health issue. While I believe that the majority of 'recreational' drugs are benign and their proscription is illustrative of the hypocrisy and corruption at the heart of public life in the English-speaking world, opiates really are toxins with limited medical application (and in most cases a less-effective pain killer than Bob). Shane > The Tylenol 4's are the good ones......had them after a hernia > surgery.....lovely things, they are. [quoted text clipped - 49 lines] > > > > > > Shane Made a valient attempt to bring up my stomach-lining yesterday! But the pain is reduced - but not as trivial as my dentist seems to think. I'm hoping to get in addition to more co-codamol today, some co-proxamol (aspirin with codeine). Then I can take codeine despite having the maximum allowed dose of paracetamol. That does now seem sufficient and - thankfully - the alcohol isn't necessary now, which I feel like I'll never have again! Except that's, frankly, unthinkable!
