Printed	Page 38 last sentence in last paragraph	I'm pretty sure that 189,000 decimal is actually 0x2E248 hex, not 0x2d620 hex.	Anonymous
Printed	Page 43 the second line under the figure 2-4	Reg_QWORD_LITTLE_ENDIAN -> Reg_DWORD_LITTLE_ENDIAN	Anonymous
Printed	Page 49 20th line from the top of the page	HKLM/Setup -> HKLM/SYSTEM/Setup or SYSTEM/Setup	Anonymous
Printed	Page 368 3rd paragraph under Speed Up System Shutdowns	Paragraph states "value is ... expressed in microseconds (1000 microseconds make one second)." Should read milliseconds, instead of microseconds. There are 1,000,000 microseconds in a second. By adjusting the timeout value to 5 seconds, you would set the value to 5,000,000 microseconds. This would give an actual result of 5,000,000 milliseconds, due to the error. This would mean the value was set at 5000 seconds, or over an hour, instead of the intended 5 seconds. By stating 1000 microseconds equals 1 second, you have minimized the potential for creating massive errors, except for those that understand the differences between micro- and milli- seconds. Might be OK for uninformed users, but most computer administrators will get confused, as I did.	Anonymous
