    Help with Asus Striker Extreme

    (1) Whenever I boot up, Asus Startup Runner asks me whether I want to run it or not. How do I set it up so that it ALWAYS runs it without asking? (2) Simultaneously with the above, I get a message from Windows Vista (32 bit) that it has blocked a program. When I click on the system tray...

    There is no plug on it or into which it can be plugged. There is a 4 pin connector underneath the board on the motherboard itself into which a 4 pin is attached.
