Solve : Question about Acronis True Image?

Answer»

Hi Guys,

A while ago I had to reformat and reinstall XP. Now, a month later, I think it's finally done.

While going through the labors of getting this done, I was advised to use Acronis True Image to replicate the state of my C: drive while it was OK.

I got that software, but it only allows me to clone a HD to another HD, not to a DVD or CD as recommended. I have Acronis Home version 11.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks.When you click on desktop icon for Acronis,look under tools,
'Create Bootable Rescue Media'Next---Then choose Full Version.

Now, your CHOICE of CD/DVD Burner you have in your COMPUTER should appear.I have acronis 11 home and you can MAKE a complete backup of your system and drives. You can store it on disk or in " Acronis secure zone" Which will take a CHUNK of whatever drive you chose, and save a copy of your system in the " Secure zone" which can easily be RESTORED. I like the software.

Solve : Image Link in Signature in MS Outlook??

Answer»

I would like to know how to put an image link in my signature in Microsoft Outlook. Does anyone know how? Or does anyone know of a forum that specializes in Outlook help?Do you mean put an actual image in your signature, or just a "link"? What version of Outlook are you using?

I'm looking at Outlook 2007 and I just put an image in a signature.I am using Outlook 2003.

My goal is to put an image in my signature, but have the image clickable so that it links to another page, in other words, an image hyperlink. Do you know if that's possible?Yes, it's possible but not simple. It's much EASIER with Outlook 2007. For Outlook 2003, see this reference on inserting an image: http://email.about.com/od/outlooktips/qt/et081706.htm

Once you get the image installed, you need to edit the signature file and add some HTML code to make the image a hyperlink. You can edit the file using Notepad. Here's a reference showing HTML code to make an image a hyperlink: http://www.w3schools.com/html/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_imglink

You'll probably find your signature file is this location: C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft

Substitute your actual Win XP user ACCOUNT name for username in that path to the signature file.
I am having trouble with your instructions.

I got the image copied into my signature.

However, I am confused about where the html coding goes.

Am I supposed to copy and paste that entire SCRIPT into my signature?

Do I STILL need to insert the images before-hand or do I use the html coding to insert them?OK, let's take this ONE step at a time. Let's see if your signature(s) are located in C:\Documents and Settings\yourusername\Application Data\Microsoft\Signatures.

If you have Win XP installed on other than C drive, change the drive letter in the above path, as appropriate. Do you see the name of your signature file there? It will have file extension .htm.Yes, my signature is saved there.Quote from: soybean on November 06, 2008, 10:39:06 AM

OK, now what part of this do you need help with?Nevermind, I think this is all a little over my head. Thanks anyways!

Solve : bat file help needed?

Answer» HI,
Why call a bat file within a bat file?
I am having a problem where my bat file does not complete. It's a database backup bat file and it SHUTS down the database, shuts down several services then does an xcopy. The xcopy takes several hours, but it appears to copy all 71 files. But then it stops. The very next line after the xcopy is to echo a . to the output log, which it does not do. So, is this an example of where I need to make this xcopy into a bat file and then call this new bat file? I'm not sure why this bat file does not complete, unless there is some sort of time out for bat files, where if a command does not complete within a certain amount of time, the bat file just stops. Any suggestions?Do you actually want it to copy a . to the output file because Code: [Select]echo. sends a blank line.

FBthe actual code is echo . >> output.file, which works fine (I have several of these prior to the xcopy command and it puts a . in the output file. It just makes the output a little more readable. Quote
I'm not sure why this bat file does not complete, unless there is some sort of time out for bat files, where if a command does not complete within a certain amount of time, the bat file just stops.

Jobs run off the task SCHEDULER can be time limited in the settings tab. If that's not the case here, post your batch file so we can take a look.

Well now I feel really stupid. Sometimes the solution to a problem is the most OBVIOUS. The schedule for the job was set to 3 hours. Thanks for your help and SORRY for wasting your time.

Solve : What is the best anti-virus out there??

Answer»

What is the BEST , that BEATS all other anti virus software going on the market today , say free and the ones you have to pay for ... Free Antiviruses:
http://www.free-av.com/
http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html
http://free.avg.com/

If I were to choose, I WOULD use AVG because I've had previous experience with it.

As for not-free antivirus PRODUCTS, I have Kaspersky Anti-Virus and it's one of the best I have used.It's a matter of opinion most of the time.
My own choice: free, AVG EVERY time. Paid, Eset Smart Security (security suite) or NOD32 antivirus (just the antivirus part).
I don't usually use antivirus anyway myself though.

Solve : 64-bit vs 32-bit; when is the right time to move up???

Answer»

I'm GOING to be getting a new computer, and the biggest question that I have is about which processor and version of windows to use. I don't know if it is worth it to move to the 64-bit platform, since I don't know how much software has GONE that WAY and what sorts of problems I will have with all the old stuff. However, I don't want to spend the money on 32-bit stuff (software, processor, etc), and then have to spend it again in a year or two to move to 64-bit cause everything is obsolete. Any thoughts about how widespread 64-bit is and how quickly "standard" programs will make the migration? Thanks!!

Mark Any modern CPU you buy will be 64 bit capable, so you don't need to worry about that.
Most modern hardware also has 64 bit drivers available for it, this can be checked on the MANUFACTURER's website.
Most 32 bit software works fine on 64 bit operating systems too.
32 bit operating systems will not become obsolete for a while yet.

In the end the decisions is yours, and there are advantages and disadvantages of going either way.
However, I think whichever you decide, you won't regret it any time soon and wish you'd CHOSEN the opposite.

Solve : windows movie maker : can't save movies?

Answer»

this has been GOING on for months. I was able to make a movie and save it 1 time but now i cant save anything.
the error message says something like "windows movie maker cant save to the specified location. CHECK if there is enough disc space, the location is still available, or the files are still available."
I Tried uninstalling it and REINSTALLING but the program files from the first installation wont all delete and now windows installer wont work (read my other post please). I tried everything i can think of but nothing worked and i could find help on any other site so please help me!!!!
THANKS IN ADVANCE!!
What is the default save location set to ? ?http://www.papajohn.org/MM2-Issues-CantSaveMovie.html

The problem is often the result of:

* Insufficient computer memory for the complexity of your project, combined with other tasks your computer is doing as it renders the movie.

* Using SOURCE files that don't work with Movie Maker, or are corrupt.

Solve : Deleted _VTI_CNF file for editing frontpage among others...probably!?

Answer»

This is my first time on this site so I'm not at all sure I'm doing this in the correct way Welcome to the CH forums.

If I clicked on either of the responses allowed in your Poll would it be of help to you? Your query should not be the subject of a Poll if you want meaninful help.

I think you need to post your query on a Frontpage dedicated forum a couple of which are shown here..

Well, I didn't really think this was the right place to post a question, your right. I thank you for the reply. I have gone to the links you suggested and it didn't help me much. So, I guess my question still stands. I don't understand computers very much and I have no business deleting stuff. I'm such a stupid idiot for doing so. Anyway, thanks for trying...I just can't find a sight that will tell me step by step how to get the darn thing restored!!! Simple you would think with all the info out there!!!Where did you delete it from?
Have you got the Frontpage CD?This is really winding up being confusing for me. I was just GOING into the files. Everytime I saw the _VTI_CNF file, I deleted it. It is everywhere! EVEN in my pictures files! So, now when I go to FP and try to edit I get "413(request entity too large). Request entity too largethe requested resource/~(my domain name) /_VTI_bin/_VTI_AUT/Author.EXE does not allow request data with POST requests or the amount of data provided in there. Request exceeds the capacity limit." So, I thought I would go into my website and start resizing the pictures, they are huge!. It still came up with the same thing. I have a mess as far as what I am trying to edit on the website. Not worried though cause when it is FIXED I can always fix that issue....I think! I just found out also that the domain registrar NEEDED an update for my billing information. I updated and have not checked to see if that was the issue...I don't think so though. Now that I have gone into my computer and messed around with "stuff" I'm getting all sorts of warnings and the blue screen of death and notices that windows defender is stopped and other things too. I'm just so frustrated with this. If you can help me then great! If what you have read is sounding like I just need to take it in somewhere and let them "fix it" please tell me so. Thanks for helping me with this SITUATION...if you can!! Opps! Yes I have the CD and used it. Now I don't know if it's the file I deleted or the notice I receive that was in my previous note to you a few minutes ago.

Solve : Ulead (Coral) software?

Answer»

I have a Dell Inspiron running Vista Ultimate, I do a lot of photography and I use Ulead PhotoImpact, Ulead Movie Factory 5 and Ulead Video Studio 10. None of these work properly on Vista. I have tried DOWNLOADING patches from the website but when I do I get the message “Movie Factory 5 not found on your computer” (this APPLIES to the other programs as well). If I OPEN the program and then try to download the patch I get the message “Movie Factory 5 is running on your computer please close the program first” when I do this I get the first message again.
I have tried to CONTACT customer support and eventually got a reference “Movie Factory 5 on Vista [INCIDENT: 081103-000015]” thinking I was getting somewhere I waited for a response it was : “We are unable to verify the registration status of the software you are inquiring with as it is needed to provide support to your concern” all of the products are registered and I had logged in with the password supplied by Ulead. I have tried to reply to them but it is a no-reply address.
I am fed up with Ulead can anyone help me pleeeeease.

Solve : i have a very serous problem with directX!?

Answer»

i have an extremely bad problem with directX... here's how it started....
(just look at the bottom for the point of what I'm tyring to say)

once upon a time there was a kid that was really bored and wanted to play a video game called quake 2. he asked his mom if he could install it and she said "yes". so the kid put the disk in the computer, but the disk had an error in it that when he put it in it went to a directX 6.0 install. so the kid clicked install on the directX and it said directX has successfully installed. but he did not realise that he had just downgraded his dirextX 10 or 9 to 6.0. so he tried to install quake but his CD driver was way too fast so he could not install it. the next morning he wore up and ate Cheerios and then he went up to his computer and clicked on warcraft3 and after like 40 secants it would not launch and just froze. so then he redid that like 4 times then a window pooped up and said "warcraft 3 was unable to initialise directX. please ensure that you have directX8.1 or newer installed."so then that idiot looked for warcraft 3 so he could reinstall his driver to 8.1 but he could not find it because his parents moved it. so he went on download.com and got directX9.0 and installed on his computer. but it still would not work. then 2 WEEKS later he came back from halloween after trickortreating with his Friend and remembered that his Friend had warcraft3 so he barrowed it from his Friend and when he went home he tried REINSTALLING 8.1 but it said you already have directX 8.1 or newer installed. he was f**ed.

to make the long story short(i need to do that because my teacher was hammering me for a late assignment about a bad problem) i need hemp to make my games path to my directX9.0 or whatever because that's a bad problem for me.

-----------------please help me!!!!!!-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------lol woops not hemp HELP.that story was far to verbose.

I think the whole problem stemmed from eating cheerios. everybody knows that cheerios cause directX problems. You should try switching to corn flakes. Not frosted flakes, mind you, too much sugar, windows already has enough candy coating, you see.


But on to your problem.


uninstall and reinstall warcraft. I couldn't be bothered to wade through the trivial personal STUFF to see if you mention doing so somewhere between eating cheerios and trick or treating, so If you have tried that I apologize.

barring that-

Start->Run... dxdiag

what version does dxdiag say you have? Does it report any ISSUES?

it said i have directX9.0c but when i was Turing back to my browser i ACCIDENTALLY clicked on wc3 and it fixed the problem perfectly.

thank you for your help i really really appreciate it.


thank you so much!!

im finaly happy now Cheerios Rule ! !Im'a leave the post till sunday the 9Th so people can read it, people seem to enjoy reading my Minny story.I agree, but unfortunately, for reasons scientists have yet to discover, eating cheerios and subsequently using a computer can cause directX problems. it's been pondered for ages, and many believe it's a loophole (LOL) in the system.


The problem is so rare that it hasn't been reported to general mills, so they can't issue a patch for their cheerios. It's a sad state of affairs. Perhaps an incompatibility with the milk, a bowl retainment error- who knows? in test situations,using a six slice toaster while pondering how cheerios cause directX problems made many subject break into convulsions or start uttering quotes from cancelled 80's sitcoms.

This has a direct correlation to the grain conspiracy we've touched on and is just another example of how the powers that be can control and ruin us in the most innocuous ways...

The fact that blank DVD's are now shipped with more purple reflective prisms only bolsters this theory yet went literally un-noticed by the general population....think of it have you heard anyone bring this up in casual conversation; " hey Frank i was burnin some files this weekend and i noticed the blank media was alot more purple in reflective lighting then i ever remember it to be...have you noticed as well ? ?"

Not at all.

As usual what happens right in front of us goes unnoticed.

All i know is my grain futures withstood this latest Wall Street storm pretty well indeed and i have to say again Thanx BC for tipping me to this otherwise i'd have been ruined.

Next thing you know they'll be blaming livestock flatulence for Global Warming...not a problem. I'm finally on to they're game and they can't fool me any longer.

Solve : Changing *ALL* Folder Icons?

Answer»

Hello Again,

I was WONDERING if any knew of any SOFTWARE that will

1.) change ALL folder icons to a custom ICON
2.) New folders use the custom Icon, rather than the default yellow one.

I know atleast one app like this exists, because I had used it before I reformatted.
Unfortunatley, I forgot the name.

All morning I have been searching, but most of the software I have come up with only change a single Icon at a time, and new folders use the default yellow icon, not the custom one.

PS- It is not window blinds. I hate window blinds, the software I had used before was 3rd party, and relatively unknown.

All help is appreciated,
Image.Google can WORK wonders....
http://www.foldermarker.com/only if you know how to use it.

tried folder marker. all new folders use the default yellow icon.

THANK you for trying though (not being sarcastic).

Solve : Missing PDFMaker Files Error Message?

Answer»

Hi
I am using adobe acrobat 7.0 Standard and am having trouble creating pdf documents. I get the error MESSAGE "Missing PDFMaker files. Do you want to run the installer in repair mode?". I have tried this, and also uninstalled and reinstalled but nothing seems to WORK. I have noticed that I can create a pdf with a word document but not from any other program. I run Windows XP, and use MS Office 2003, I have recently installed MS Publisher 2007 and can't create a pdf with a .pub file either.

Can anyone help!!Did this problem start after you installed MS Publisher 2007? Based on http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3c05eb54, you may need to upgrade to Acrobat 8.

If your PDF creation needs are mainly to CONVERT Word documents and other MS Office files (Excel, Publisher, etc.) to PDF, you COULD install a freeware PDF converter such as PrimoPDF. Once installed, PrimoPDF appears as a printer in your computer and you select it to "PRINT" to a PDF document.

Solve : DVD+R Uses?

Answer»

So, what exactly can I do with a 4.7 GB DVD+R Blank Disc?
If I wanted to, is it possible to put multiple movies on one disc? If so, how?One DVD will hold approximately 1 1/2 of regular length movie, so practically, you can put one movie on it.
To do it, you need burning program. Vista comes with video burning program built in. In other Windows version, you'll need standalone burning program like Nero, or Roxio.So what if I had a 700 MB AVI movies?It'll fit.The 4.7 DVD disk will store either data - avi, wmv vid files etc as well as other data but also depending on your software options, iso images as well as actual DVD video.

If 700 Mb avi then it's simply a case of burning that - or even 6 of same size!

I invested recently in NTI Media maker 8 - which tho not free does do about everything you might want with burning any disk media.Let's clarify a LITTLE...
4.7 GB DVD will:
1. accommodate 6+ movies (700MB) STORED as data.
2. If you want to play a DVD in standalone DVD player, the movie file has to be burned. Burning process expands file size. 4.7GB DVD accommodates about 120 min movie. 700MB movie is about 90 mins long, so burned DVD will hold 1 1/2 of AVERAGE length movie. Since you don't want to watch half of a movie, DVD is practically good for burning ONE movie.

Solve : another excel problem?

Answer»

I have an excel sheet saved as .CSV. COLUMN A has a code number that does not change for all of the 1000+ entries. Column B has last name first name. Column C has unique id numbers for the names.

I an trying to import the names and id numbers into another program but the problem is that it is looking for separate entries for first and last names. I can not change what it is looking for.

Is there a formula that will see the first word in Column B and move everything after it into a new column? If not move, then I am pretty sure that it would work if it was just copied. I can insert a new column so that C becomes D.

ThanksWish I could help. Been a long time. Once I have a had job and I had to CREATE some new functions. I believe it was a form of Visual Basic, or something like that. You create a function and use it to create new entries in new cells. The LANGUAGE can do strings as well as numbers. Is that any help at all? You should be able to use the Text to Columns function. With reference to Excel 2003, select column B, then, on the menu, select Data, Text to Columns, and proceed through the screens. THANKS Soybean, that is exactly what I was looking for. A little tweaking of the final product and it is perfect. Soybean's the man !

Solve : office 2007 on a server - question?

Answer»

Ok, is there a server version of OFFICE 2007? If not, can the program be loaded on a server and accessed over a small business network? Do licenses have to be bought to cover each workstation? The client is an veterinarian and there are 8 workstations, buying copies for each is a bit much at this time.

Any info is gratefully accepted.

Thanks
If you mean Windows Server 2003, I believe Office 2007 works with it. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Office_2007

But, I could be wrong but I believe you'd still need to install some part of Office on each workstation. Have you inquired about VOLUME license pricing? I believe that would save a LOT of money, compared to paying for MULTIPLE single license products.Thanks, I will CHECK on volume licenses. I have checked the Microsoft site but I don't see an enterprise edition. By that I mean a version like the Windows version that is used on the school's computers.

Reinstalling Word would not delete your Documents files. However, I'm not convinced that will solve the problem since it seems to not be directly related to Word, if I UNDERSTAND your first post, where said:

Solve : Need to change browser invoked by hyperlink in email message?

Answer»

I am using OUTLOOK 2002. In any random email message, if I click on a hyperlink to take me to an internet address, my Netscape browser is invoked. I would rather have MS Explorer invoked and have searched high & wide for the Outlook properties to change this without SUCCESS. I have changed all the internet-type file extentions in WinME control to invoke Explorer but this didn't affect how Outlook spawns a webpage from the message link. What should I try next?

What is your DEFAULT browser?
ALSO check, if file association is correct. See here: http://www.timeatlas.com/mos/5_Minute_Tips/Annoyances/Outlook_Hyperlinks_Fail_to_Work/, fix #3That was a helpful webpage you linked. WinME is laid out a bit different than WinXP but it still functions the same. It turns out I needed to reset the Hypertext Transfer Protocol. Now Explorer invokes with any IMBEDDED web address in my email messages. Who woulda thunk it?

Solve : comodo firewall, updates?

Answer»

im getting notices that their are updates from comodo. for comodo! and when i try to install them says it cant create a file on disk that there is not enough room. can you look at the jpeg and tell me what you think. and should i shut down eset durring updates? sorry forgot to SEND this! thanks

[Saving space - attachment deleted by admin]I'm surprised, your XP even runs with 128MB of RAM.
Also, how big is your hard drive, and how MUCH of a free space left?thanks for your reply BRONI, actually this machine runs smoother and fater with xp COMPARED to what was on here (Me). i dont know how but it works so im not going back!!! here is more info, thanks!!!

[Saving space - attachment deleted by admin]I don't see any problem with space. Try to shut down NOD.shut down nod, superantispyware,opera, disabled comodo all functions.. still same not enough room error. i am the only account on this computer but you want me to try it in safe mode? Quote

a trying time is no time to stop trying!!!
yeah, try it in safe mode, but remember to boot into safemode with networking so you GOT internet which updating may require.

on another thought, I wonder what would happen if you completely uninstalled commodo firewall and manually just installed the latest version as I expect latest version out to have the updates already in place.


hope it works out , let us know safemode w networking, worked ; thanks for all you guys help Cool

Solve : Outlook 2000 - You do not have permission to log on.?

Answer»

I have a Windows Server 2003 exchange server upon which I have set up a new mailbox. When I try to open the mailbox through outlook 2000 I get the following error messages: -

1) on Outlook 2000 under Windows 2000 Professional, Outlook opens part way and, before OPENING the mailbox, it says "Unable to open your default e-mails folder. You do not have permission to LOG on."

2) on Outlook 2000 under xp professional, outlook doesn't get a chance to open any windows before it says "Unable to open your default e-mail folder. You do not have permission to log on".

I've tried deleting the mailbox and recreating it, but that does nothing to ALLEVIATE the problem.

Any ideas? Hi,

This was another one of those kickself problems. I had my eureka moment this morning soon after I posted the question. Although I had copied the user id in Active Directory and so all of the SETTINGS should have been the same as the userid I had copied from, the new userid had no mailbox permission for itself. So, the new userid was not permitted to pick up the new mailbox.

I corrected this oversight and the thing now works... Hooray!

As to why the same version of Outlook 2000 got to a different error message when run under different operating systems, I haven't a clue. But it works now on both platforms. So that's OK by me!

Thanks. I hope that this explanation may help others TRAPPED in the same predicament.

Solve : Would like suggestions on Internet Security?

Answer»

I have only a few days to go with F-Secure. I've never really liked them that much, but my "computer GUY" is all in love with it and practically makes you feel guilty if you are not using it. I'm not that much of a computer genius (actually I'm computer stupid) and I'd appreciate any input in what is good out there to use. It's so easy to get confused when each one you look at TELLS you they are the best there is. Even reviews don't help as no two are ever mentioned.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Debby

Everyone settles into a security package for their pc and as long as the user is happy with it very few change.

I use AVG ver 8. free version with Zone Alarm free version and SpywareBlaster. Not had an intrusion in years. Others will use Avast with Comodo (both free), the combinations are MANY. The Free part of the equations is, of course, a great attraction. There's a list of free firewalls here, a review of free anti-virus programs is available here. Just noticed that AVG does not fare well in comparison but I'll stick with it..

Others will praise the Norton suite of programs, CH USERS seem to be in general agreement that it causes more problems than it cures. See this discussion.

It's a personal choice thing.. Mebbe you won't want to upset your computer guy, selling is how he makes a living..

Good luck

I've personally always been a fan of Avast, www.avast.com , it requires a free registration, but lasts 14 months, and once that time is up, you just register again.

For FireWall, I see no reason to get another firewall when you have Windows Firewall. Contrary to popular belief, Windows FireWall is really quite secure, and Windows will update it for you. Its BUILT in to the Operating System, so you shouldn't worry about integration or performance loss.
You can certainly use another FireWall program if you dont like Windows Firewall.

(Then again, I also have a very good and secure router that works like a miracle as a firewall. I almost suggest anyone to get a router along with using Windows Firewall, since, thats really the best you can get, IMO)

A couple of weeks ago I installed MS OFFICE 2007 on my laptop (Windows XP) and it was working fine up until a few days ago.

Sometimes it even asks me if I want to open Word in safe mode and after I click YES it tries installing something, and then it says INSTALLER PERMENANTLY TERMINATED.

Solve : XMS Memory HELP?

Answer»

I am not having any problems with my computer or System Memory I just needed some help understanding XMS Memory in the msconfig file and how it worked.

In the msconfig.sys file there was a line that said
device=c:\dos\himem.sys

When ever I READ about what this is for it says....THIS LINE IS REQUIRED TO ACCESS EXTENDED MEMORY.

So would I be right in thinking that himem.sys is the XMS Driver??

and onother line in the msconfig.sys file says
device=c:\dos\emm386.exe

And when I read about this line it says.....THIS LINE INSTALLS THE DOS MEMORY MANAGER.

So if emm386.exe is a memory manager then what is himem.sys??


HIMEM is an extended-memory manager--a program that coordinates the use of
the computer's extended memory, including the high memory area (HMA), so
that no two applications or device drivers use the same memory at the same
time.

EMM386.EXE provides access to the upper memory area and USES extended memory to simulate expanded memory. This device driver must be loaded by a command in your CONFIG.SYS file and can be used only on computers with an 80386 or higher processor.

EMM386 uses extended memory to simulate expanded memory for very old programs that
can use expanded memory. EMM386 also makes it possible to load programs and
device drivers into upper memory blocks (UMBs).


So himem.sys is the XMS Memory Manager and it controles the Extended MERY and the High Memory Area WITCH is the 64 kB right after the first Meg RIGHT???

And emm386.exe Controles the UMB Area and if another program NEEDS Expanded Memory it can Turn Extended Memory into Expanded Memory RIGHT???

And am I right that himem.sys and emm386 are both XMS Drivers??
And you need both himem.sys and emm386.exe to run XMS???

Ok I get this you can buy stuff from there web site but can you download free Music and Trailers and THINGS like that you know like I did with Limwire??

And I want to know if BitTorrent
uses DNA to run or if that is something that you do not have to use or downlad.Any site that makes you pay to use Bit Torrent is running a scam.



it CERTAINLY is...Bit Torrent is free.I like this one http://www.utorrent.com/download.php

Solve : Secunia PSI, no communication after (RC1) to (RC2) upgrade??

Answer»

I have been using Secunia PSI and love it, but the other day when I opened it I NOTICED there was a new version so I DOWNLOADED it and during installation of the new version (RC2), the old version (RC1) was uninstalled. Now the new version will not communicate with the Secunia update site (or whatever all it does).
When I open the program I see the screen SHOWN in the 1st screen shot here:
http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff1/letrocrew/screenshotSecuniaPS21.jpg

Then after a few minutes I see the error screen shown in the 2ND screen shot here:
http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff1/letrocrew/SecuniaPSI-2.jpg
My Windows Update is up to date, I have IE7 currently set as my default browser, Secunia is shown as "allow" in my AVG 8 Firewall.
What am I doing wrong?
THANKS for any help!
Mike

(BTW), The Secunia (RC1) desktop icon seen in the 2nd screen shot no longer works and has since been deleted. As the error message suggests, is there an exception in your firewall to let it through?

Solve : Microsoft Word, Bulleted Lists and Dreamweaver?

Answer»

Hello ...

Has anyone ever FIGURED out a way to import word documents into dreamweaver with correct bulleted lists?

ThanksDepending on your version of Dreamweaver...

In the toolbar, under "Commands", there's a menu item called "Clean Up Word HTML"...

What it does:

Quote

Cleaning up Microsoft Word HTML

In Dreamweaver, you can open or import documents saved by Microsoft Word as HTML files, then use the Clean Up Word HTML command to remove the EXTRANEOUS HTML code generated by Word. The code that Dreamweaver removes is primarily used by Word to format and display documents in Word and is not needed to display the HTML file. Retain a copy of your original Word (.doc) file as a backup, because you may not be able to reopen the HTML document in Word once you've applied the Clean Up Word HTML feature. The Clean Up Word HTML command is available for documents saved as HTML files by Word 97 or later.

To clean up HTML or XHTML that was not generated by Microsoft Word, see Cleaning up your code.

To clean up Word HTML:

1. In Microsoft Word, save your document as an HTML file.
2. Open the HTML document in Dreamweaver using either of the following methods:
  • Choose File > Import > Import Word HTML and select a file to open.

Dreamweaver opens the file and then automatically opens the Clean Up Word HTML dialog box.

  • Choose File > Open and select a file to open.

An HTML Corrections log file is automatically generated if Warn when Fixing or Removing Tags is selected in HTML Rewriting preferences. This is not part of the Clean Up Word HTML feature. Click Continue to exit the dialog box. Then, in Dreamweaver, choose Commands > Clean Up Word HTML.

3. With either of these methods, there may be a slight delay while Dreamweaver attempts to determine which version of Word was used to save the file. If Dreamweaver is unable to determine this, select the correct version using the pop-up menu.

4. Choose which options the Clean Up Word HTML feature should use. The Basic tab displays the following options:
  • Remove all Word Specific Markup removes all Word-specific HTML, including XML from html tags, Word custom meta data and link tags in the head of the document, Word XML markup, conditional tags and their contents, and empty paragraphs and margins from styles. You can select each of these options individually using the Detailed tab.
  • Clean up CSS removes all Word-specific CSS, including inline CSS styles when possible (where the parent style has the same style properties), style attributes beginning with “mso,” non-CSS style declarations, CSS style attributes from tables, and all unused style definitions from the head. You can further customize this option using the Detailed tab.
  • Clean up <font> Tags removes HTML tags, converting the default body text to size 2 HTML text.
  • Fix Invalidly Nested Tags removes the font markup tags inserted by Word outside the paragraph and heading (block-level) tags.
  • Set Background Color allows you to enter a hexadecimal value to set the background color of your document. If you do not set a background color, your Word HTML document will have a gray background. The default hexadecimal value set by Dreamweaver is white.
  • Apply Source Formatting applies the source formatting options you specify in HTML Format preferences and SourceFormat.txt to the document.
  • Show Log on Completion displays an alert box with details about the changes made to the document as soon as the cleanup is finished.
5. Click OK.

Depending on the size of your document and the number of options selected, it may take several seconds to complete the cleanup. The preferences you entered are automatically saved as the default Clean Up Word HTML settings.
I am using Dreamweaver 8.

I have tried that and it does not make the correct HTML.

I have attached the HTM and Doc files if you want to look at. The HTM file is after Dreamweaver cleaned it up ...

I can import it and it looks OK, only problem is the bulleted list is imported as a ordered list.

Thanks for the help ...

[recovering space - attachment deleted by admin]I simply opened your Word document with my version of Word.

I then changed the bulleted format to the ordered list format.

Finally, I saved the Word document as a web page.

The result was a web page with the list items numbered. See attached...

[recovering space - attachment deleted by admin]Hi Steve ... Thanks for the help ...

The problem is not to get an ordered list ... the problem is to get an un-ordered list or bulleted list.

Dreamweaver can not open the Word HTM file and clean it properly and when you import word into dramweaver it adds an extra OL tag.

Any ideas?

Thanks again What version of Word are you using?

I'm using Dreamweaver MX...and it will only cleanup 97/98 or 2000/2002.Dreamweaver 8 and I am using Word 2002Right now...I'm at a a loss.

It WOULD seem that Dreamweaver would need to apply some sort of source formatting to the document, in order for it to have the correct tag info Dreamweaver requires.

I am looking into it, though.Much Thanksmdumka...

It would seem that you are applying styles to the text when creating the word document...correct?

Instead of applying the styles to the text in Word, do this:

Type the word document as if you were creating a regular document, but do not apply any source coding such as headers, etc. Just use regular text. YOUCAN use the bullet-ed feature in Word, but don't apply any additional markup to the text.

Import the document into Dreamweaver...

Cleanup the Word HTML...

Then apply your source formatting...using Dreamweaver.

Let me know if this suits you....otherwise...back to square one.Is is the business problem ...

We have a group of 40 people who maintain around 5,000 pages.

The way they are doing this is using creating there content in Microsoft Word, then importing into a Dreamweaver Template.

This is not an ideal solution but they will not switch to a content MANAGEMENT system not matter how much we urge.

So we have to make the best of a bad situation ... and the last problem is how to handle bullets.

But I think I have found a solution ... It seems CS3 does a much better job of converting so we will test that out tomorrow ... thanks for the help.

Solve : Recording videos to disc.?

Answer»

Have DOWNLOADED a video from YouTube. Can I record this to a disc ? ,, Am running Windows XP Pro, and have Roxio Media creator 8 available.It DEPENDS on what you have downloaded...and what files your media player supports.

Here's a LINK to a YouTube video which instructs you how to download and SAVE the youtube video: How to download and save a youtube video file

The only other thing you may want to check is if your media player supports .flv files. If it does, you can simply copy that file to the appropriate location.You could convert the video to another FORMAT burn on a CD/DVD to play on a DVD player or PC. DVD Flick might help, and other free converters at snapfiles freeware....

Solve : Login Problems?

Answer»

When I installed my external wireless NETWORK adapter, it created a DLL file that prevents me from logging in with basic XP login.


I INSTEAD have to use the classic windows 95/98 Username/password login.

I found an entry in the registry editor with reference to the file that is messing with the login.

If I delete the "Binary Data", Would this enable me to delete the DLL? Would it automatically delete it? Or would it do nothing?FIRST I wouldn't use the regisrty to make changes to the login. Also I wouldn't suggest deleting a DLL to fix your problem.

If I understand you right after you installed the software for the wireless NIC you now have to type a user name and password? Is that right?

Can you list your computer specs? What version of Windows are you running?

I installed the external adapter. After a while the login/shutdown changed itself to the conventional 95/98 settings

Whe I go to user account and try to modify how users login and out, it SAY that so & so file is preventing any changes from being made. please check so & so file.

I have XP Pro OEM

As of my specs:

Pentium 3 processor
646 MHz
320 MB RAM

Can't tell any more than that.....



BTW If this will help any regarding my Regedit

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogin
