6302.	Solve : Microsoft Office Outlook Not Sending Emails?
Answer» SIGNATURE or no signature?None.When it says "Send/RECEIVE error" at the bottom right, can you CLICK on it to get some more details?I will next time I have an issue. It probably won't be for awhile because it only happens rarely and when I am at school connected to the wired and wireless internet. I am on break now through January 20th. If you're connected to the wired and the wireless at the same time, that can definitely cause your connection to drop sporadically. If you have a choice, and it's not to inconvenient, use the wired - more stable, generally. ALSO, CHECK wht attachment type you are sending. If you are sending .exe or something which your mail service provide do not all ... you may receive error [link removed]

6303.	Solve : Speedfan Temperatures?
Answer» Ok so I got a new config file for speedfan as the original wasn't detecting the sensors right. My specs are to he side but just to make it easier... I'm using a ASUS P4PE Mobo and a 2.5GHz Celeron 2.5/128/400 Just to avoid confusion... Windows XP SP3 - Vista Transformation pack with Windows 7 Skin and Window Blinds now I get flame marks beside my CPU when doing CPU intensive THINGS, even if the temp is still low. I admit, during games the temperature can reach just over 55 CELCIUS, never seen it above 60. I am not using an intel cooler but a cheap "deepcool' one that I BOUGHT for $20 NZD (about 12 US) It has no copper whatsoever Are these TEMPS safe? I will attach a screenshot of speedfan for you to look at EDIT: Also, is someone able to enlighten me on the 'Temp:' part? It seems to average the same as the CPU but sometimes can be lower/higher... Is this the chip under the CPU with the heatsink on it? [attachment deleted by admin]Speedfan's default is to WARN at 50C - this can be changed in the program options. Looks like this profile is warning at another temperature, you can change that. Not sure what "Temp" refers to, in this case, but if you run a CPU intensive task like a game or Prime95, and it increases roughly the same rate as your CPU temperature, it's likely to be another sensor for the CPU. Oh, and 55C for that CPU should be fine.Thanks

6304.	Solve : Can't Move Photos...From Digital Camera?
Answer» I have a Polaroid Digital camera,from which I downloaded photos via USB cable to my PC which automatically moved my photos to a program called Arc Photo IMPRESSIONS. The problem is I can't seem to copy or move the photos to anywhere on my C:Drive and upload it to Photobucket, to my Yahoo E-mail or anywhere else. I have a Toshiba Satellite A105 NOTEBOOK, with Windows XP and both IE6.0 and Firefox 3.0. Help!So when you plug the camera into the computer, can you access the storage device? If you can access it, what happens if you try to copy or move the pictures?ANOTHER CASE of laziness - on my part. I redownloaded the photos, this time starting with arc photo impressions and everything worked fine. Thanks for asking the right questions.Ummm....Ok. Glad you got it working.

6305.	Solve : Computer over heating??
Answer» HEY i switched to another computer cause it has a better processor and i think it's overheating. I switched over my nvida geforce 9600gt over to my other computer aswell. the problem is when i am playing videogames i get random fps drops I think its cause my cpu isnt getting cooled down enough. when i hear my fan in my computer go into overdrive once and awhile there tends to be no problem while the fan is spinning really fast. what do you think the problem is? how should i fix this?i think your getting the fps drops becuase of really actiony parts of games when theres a lot going on and stuffwell no cause this never happend on my other computer...lol and HWEN IM standing still itll just randomly drop from 70 to 30 for 2 seconds and go back upDLoad speedfan and monitor some of your TEMPS and post the results here...Quote from: patio on January 04, 2009, 01:36:53 PM DLoad speedfan and monitor some of your temps and post the results here... YEAH i have that but theres two problems 1) i dont think it monitors cpu temperature only gpu 2) i cant look at it while in game1)It monitors both. 2)If you switch to the charts tab you can see a graph of the temperatures so you can see what it was while the game was running.Thanx Soviet !

6309.	Solve : XP boots up but has a blank (black) screen.?
Answer» I hope this is a softeware problem but I don't know. I am using a HP pavilion dv9009nt laptop, with windows XP. It is about ONE year old. Sometimes when I turn it on, ,it seems to boot up but the screen remains totally blank. The hard drive is busy doing something, according to the indicator, but who knows what? Turning it off and then on again has no effect. The only thing that seems to WORK is to shut it off, disconnect the power cord, remove the battery, wait 30 seconds then replace the battery and try again. This usually works, not always. One time it was doing that and i walked away for about an hour. When I came back to it, it was working perfectly. Does any one have any ideas re this problem. ?? THANKS in advance. JIMIt's not a software problem, with the symptoms you describe it is definitely a hardware problem. From your description it could sound like a problem with the screen or the graphics card. If you got one, you can try connecting the laptop to an EXTERNAL monitor and see if it will give you a picture when the laptop screen is blank. But the laptop will need to be SERVICED in order to fix this problem. Is it still under warranty? Sounds to me as if that battery is ready to or has failed and is interrupting the normal flow of AC power to the machine...how old is the battery and does it get unusually hot ? ?DEERPARK: I was afraid of that. I will try to connect it to an external monitor. It is a laptop and it is about 13 months old. Out of warrenty. PATIO: I have tried to run it without the AC power connected (once it boots properly) and it operates for at least 30 min. on battery. I will give it a more stringent test, however. Thanks to both of you guys. You have helped me in the past. JIM

6310.	Solve : Sleep Mode?
Answer» When I shut my laptop while its on, it automatically goes into sleep mode. Is going into sleep mode bad for my computer?

Or can I only use sleep mode for so many times, or it starts messing up my computer, etc... I'm just wondering because sleep mode seems faster for starting up instead of always turning off my computer. So if sleep mode doesn't do ANYTHING, I thought I would just put it into sleep mode instead. But then I started thinking if it was bad, so now I'm here asking the pros If anyone can help, its always greatly appreciated. Thanks PS: running on vista, 200g HD, laptopYou mean hibernation? The hibernation file on your computer can take up a lot of disk space. If you don't have much disk space, you might want to disable hibernation.

Thanks PS: running on vista, 200g HD, laptop http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Features_new_to_Windows_Vista Quote In Windows Vista, 'Stand By' and 'Hibernate' have been combined into an additional 'Sleep' function which is active by default. When chosen, this new 'Sleep" mode saves information from the computer's memory to the hibernation file on disk, but instead of turning off the computer, it simultaneously enters Standby mode. After a specified amount of time (3 hours by default), it shuts down (hibernates). If power is lost during Standby mode, the system resumes from the existing hibernate image on disk. Sleep mode, thus, offers the benefits of fast suspend and resume when in Standby mode and reliability when resuming from hibernation, in case of power loss. Also, in earlier Windows VERSIONS, drivers sometimes prevented Windows from entering or reliably resuming from a power-saving state. Windows Vista ensures the availability and reliable resuming from any power state. Applications can disable sleep idle timers when needed such as when burning discs or recording media. Away mode, which is not a power plan by itself but a feature, automatically turns off displays, video rendering and sound but keeps the computer working when the user is away from the computer. Optionally, it can also transition to sleep mode. With 200GB HD, I wouldn't worry about it.I agree with Broni. The SIZE of the hibernation file is equal to the amount of RAM you have installed. So even if you have 4 gb of RAM this is still nothing on a 200 gb hard drive. Don't worry about it and enjoy sleep mode. Just REMEMBER to do a restart once in a while to clear the memory.Ok great. Thanks. And by what do you mean by "restart"? As in actually restarting my computer or clearing the hibernation file?Restarting your computer is enough. You shouldn't have to touch the hibernation file.

With 200GB HD, I wouldn't worry about it.I agree with Broni. The SIZE of the hibernation file is equal to the amount of RAM you have installed. So even if you have 4 gb of RAM this is still nothing on a 200 gb hard drive. Don't worry about it and enjoy sleep mode. Just REMEMBER to do a restart once in a while to clear the memory.Ok great. Thanks. And by what do you mean by "restart"? As in actually restarting my computer or clearing the hibernation file?Restarting your computer is enough. You shouldn't have to touch the hibernation file.

Answer» I have been looking for a way to play guild wars on one of my colleges gaming computers, without having to install the game every TIME (takes too long, and boring) so i was thinking about getting an external hdd and installing guild wars on that but, i recently learned you could use your ipod as basically an external HARD drive. my question is, could i install guild wars on my ipod video, plug it into the computer and play it off that? or would i have to install some program into my ipod for that or is it even possible. ive heard rumors about it but i wanna make sure before i WASTE my time. thanks muchI haven't tried this myself, but it appears to be possible and even fairly simple. I question the legality of such a thing, but as far as I can tell, it appears to legal. It looks like the launcher simply edits the registry to redirect the game to your flash drive (or iPod). Because this appears to be not much more than a mod of sorts...here you go... Portable Guild Wars I've LOOKED around online and haven't seen any complaints from users, but it's STILL in development, so use at your own discretion.ok, i tried it, i didnt see your post about portable guild wars though, it was very easy just pulled my guild wars folder into my ipod then went to school after school i plugged in my ipod to the school computer and ran gw for aobut 3 hours no problem it works im happyKudos.

6322.	Solve : to print business cards using?
Answer» Hi, I am trying to print some business cards but after i finish the composition of the card and try to print it, some of the printing is out of the card. I use Spicers TUDOR Brand paper. Product code 132220-Pack. Card Size Width & Height 90 X 52 mm Cards per sheet 10 No. of Labels Across 2 Down 5 Margin left 15 Right 15 Margin Top 18 Bottom 18 I use HP Photosmart C4180 All-in-One There is no way (as far i know) to set up the Margins left, right , top, botton, on my HP printer. I try Print Perfect by cosmi and the problem is the same. Do anyone know of what i should do? Help...Help..... Best regards and thanks.Is the printer in Landscape or Portrait mode ? ? You could try switching whatever it is to see if this works. Instead of wasting the card stock just print it on paper til it's right....I use Publisher 2000 when I make Business Cards and when I finish and go to Print I select it from the File drop down menu so that I get the Print Box. There I click Print Options where it gives me two options: One centerd on the page or multiple. Under multiple I set the margins in inches to: Top Margin - .5" (half inch), Side Margin - .7", Horizontal and Vertical both set to - 0" I use the regular Avery Business Card paper from Staples and it works fine. On the card you make always make sure you leave on top, bottom and sides a bumber SPACE of about 1/8" so that words dont come out right at the edge of the card.It all come back to the HP printer, with the resizing options: Size A4. The , i put on "Scale the paper size" and there i find a list of different paper etc... ,but nothing for Tudor. I also have "openoffice.org" i click on file, new. business cards, FORMAT and try to setup: horizontal pitch, vertical pitch, width, height, left margin, top margin, clumsy, rows. When it come to rows, i can only setup 4 rows, but i need 5 rows. Don't know what to do next..... Best regards, The easiest ROUTE for your problem is to use MS Word. Go to Tools/Envelopes & Labels/Labels/Options/New Label. You can design the label easily and if necessary define a custom paper size to fit your HP printer. Check with the printer documentation on the minimum margins that it will take. If your printer is the default printer on the PC then Word should take this into ACCOUNT automatically when you design the label.OK went to MS word and the all thing work very well. Easy to custom for my HP. I also found on the Net about a site that let you compose business cards and download in PDF and then you can print them on your printer. I was not looking to print business cards but private and work as well. Here is the addressee of the site: http://www.businesscardland.com/home/general-info/free-printable-business-cards-business-card-templates-and-more.html Thanks to everyone for the help.

Unless there's another way to back up 150+ gigs worth of stuff besides another hard drive?

6325.	Solve : Seeing "seams" while playing PC games.?
Answer» I have for the past few months, been seeing some "seams" while playing games on my PC, I've only experienced these "seams" on Final Fantasy XI (an MMO) and World of Warcraft (another MMO) at first I thought it was something released in a patch on Final Fantasy XI that was causing these "seems" then I went and played World of Warcraft and noticed them there as well. What I see is two textures that look as if they're not close enough thus leaving a 1 pixel wide LINE that runs in between the textures. These seems I know were not there 4-5 months ago as they stand out enough for ONE to not be able to not notice them. I have done nothing to my PC except update to newer graphic drivers as they are released but the issue is still there even if I roll back to some pretty old drivers so I am confused as to what the issue may be. I use a Dell made computer with a Nvidia GeForce 7300 LE graphics card (which is supported by both games) and I use DirectX 9.0c. My graphics Driver is 169.21 Forceware from the Nvidia website, and as I stated, rolling back to older models has not changed the problem. While playing these games as well, I noticed that sometimes shading is not blending as it should, (example: I am staring at a building, there is light hitting the building from one side thus MAKING it bright, and it's dark on the other side, the darkness and light are not blending together like they USED to, instead it's just a line separating the light and dark, instead of them blending together.) After updating drivers/downgrading drivers the only change I make inside the Nvidia Control Panel is put Vertical Sync Forced on to prevent the tearing, and also put Triple Buffering on, I have tried having Triple Buffering on and off and there is no difference between the two. To determine WHETHER it is the monitor or the card try the monitor on another machine... You may want to also try removing and re-seating the vid card... The contacts can be cleaned with a pencil eraser. As always when working inside the case remove all power and take anti-static precautions.

It cleans up temporary FILES, internet history and unused registry ENTRIES. And unlike many other registry cleaners it doesn't MESS up your registry in the process. Just remember to untick the Yahoo Toolbar during installation, you don't need that. We also have a guide on how to set it up.

6329.	Solve : Backup suggestion that spans DVDs??
Answer» I work for a small mom and pop PC repair shop. Often times customers wish us to back up their data to CDs or DVDS. Sometimes the backup can be 10GB+ . Can anyone suggest a tool that would back up their data file by file (not compressed or anything. Just as if they copied it through Explorer) yet suggest what files go on what disk to save space and assist in the copy process? Right now we typically use the typical burning software if it fits on 1 CD/DVD or FABs autobackup on the UBCD 4 Win but it doesn't SPAN. We'd like it to be FREE or very low cost and if it costs, a cheap tech license. Any ideas? I use Acronis True Image and have for years... It will also do incremental backups, can be SCHEDULED etc. Best deal on it currently is at newegg.com. Version 10 can be had for 20 bucks although there are newer versions but if cost is a consideration it's your best deal. Understand. But we don't want to buy anything if we can get away with it plus we don't want to have to install anything on their PC. If memory serves, someone had a FREE program out there way back when that would basically look at what you had to back up, look at the media type, and recommend which files would best be put onto which disk to completely or near completely fill the CD or DVD and thus minimize the amount of discs needed. This is more of what we need. Thanks Brad SyncBack

Try OpenOffice
It's a free open source office suite, with replacements for Word, PowerPoint, Excel and Access.

I second that. I've GOT OpenOffice 2.3 for Windows XP (on my laptop, MUCH smaller install than Office 2007) and Fedora 8 Linux. It's a great program and is pretty much compatible with MS Office.Thank you quaxo and Calum.

I noticed that the download size for OpenOffice is large. Is it possible to download a single product instead?Not to my knowledge. The installer includes all of the OpenOffice program files, but you can select which you do and do not want to install.Alright. Thanks for that.

BTW: Great signature - "LOST YOUR CAT? TRY LOOKING UNDER MY TIRES"

But lately I am having to use F5 to refresh the pages on the forums that I regularly go to. I have rebooted several time and I still have to hit refresh to see the latest updates to the page. Is there something I can do where this will automatically do it by itself? This has been going on for about 3 weeks. I NEVER had this problem before. I am frustrated.Is this happening with both browsers? Yes, this was happening with both browsers. It does not seem to be happening now. So, I am hopeful that WHATEVER I did.........it is RESOLVED.

6339.	Solve : Out of focus lettering in Photoshop?
Answer» Hi, first TIME everrrrrr using photoshop 7 did a lovely card on glossy photo paper with colored background and swirl brushes but when I put white LETTERING on it...some of it looks out of FOCUS??? I am using different font for some of the lettering, could this be it?// tinaWhat font are you using that looks out of focus? What size is it? Any chance of us seeing what it looks like? Does it look that way when you print it out as well? Your problem may simply be that you're not viewing the image at 100%. It could be zoomed in or out.You mentioned doing this on glossy photo paper. So is this 'out of focus' problem on the screen or on the paper or both? If it's just on the paper, you might need to ADJUST your print settings. When using CERTAIN types of paper, the ink settings have to be adjusted or the image will come out blurry or it will bleed.

6340.	Solve : Prompt....?
Answer» I have a question. For some reason, something on my computer CHANGES recently and I can't figure out how to get it back. Whenever I enter a blank CD into my E: drive, nothing happens. It used to open up a box prompting me to pick an application to open it with. This was very convenient and saved me lots of time. Today, I never got this prompt. No matter how many times I'd take the blank CD in and out, nothing would pop up. It was as if the computer wasn't reading the CD. So I went to My Computer, right-clicked the E drive while the CD was in, and went to the autoplay tab. I made sure the prompting option was checked and it was. However, I decided to CHANGE something else on the properties which caused another problem. I went to the recording tab and checked 'enable cd recording on this drive'. Now everytime I put the blank cd in, it opens the Windows Media Player program. I just want to get back to the original setting where it would prompt me to pick a program to open it with. How can I do that? Also, can anyone give me a POSSIBLE reason as to why it may not give me that prompt anymore? I don't remember changing anything recently that would result in this. Thanks in advance!Are you using XP or Vista SpitefulKitty? And don't forgot to post what version it is. For example, for XP it's Home, Professional or Media Center. On my COMPAQ Vista, it's called Snapfish Media Detector.Sorry about that, guys. I am using Windows XP.Is it the Professional or Home version of XP? If you don't know this is how you can find out: Right click "My Computer" and select Properties. On the General tab under System: the first line should read "Microsoft Windows XP".

6342.	Solve : Virtual PC & Ghost Image Question?
Answer» Hello, I am looking for a way to get an old ghost image to work on VIRTUAL PC 2007, and it appears that VPC creates the Virtual system correctly, but then it HANGS at the WINDOWS 2000 Pro SP4 start up after the progress bar at the bottom goes from dashes to solid. I am guessing that this is because the image was created of my P2 400Mhz CPU system and the system RUNNING Virtual PC 2007 is a P4 3.0 Ghz CPU. Does anyone know if there are any mods for VPC to tweak the image into thinking that the P4 is a P2 or if there is a better solution out there for getting images to run correctly on systems with major hardware difference, but still the X86 processor?

6348.	Solve : Music player for Windows ME?
Answer» I just deleted my WINAMP music player on my Windows ME because it wasn't working, but I can't download the new one because it doesn't work with ME. Yeah yeah I know it's time to upgrade but right now I just need to know if anyone has some suggestions as to which music player I should use or where I should go to download some that are compatible with my Windows ME. My windows media player doesn't work...and real player doesn't either. So I need to find another way to listen. Cheers! ChloeWhy won't your WMP and Real player work? Is that an issue you want to correct? You can download any older version of WinAmp from here: http://www.oldversion.com/program.php?n=winamp Scroll down through the list. I think the last version that supported ME was 3.0Using WIN98SE here. Some bits of information, for whatever they are worth: Not all that LONG ago, I went to: http://forums.winamp.com/search.php That's the search page for the Winamp forum. Searched for Windows 98. Got lots of hits. Read some. Learned that newer versions of Winamp no longer support Win98. But! ... also read many comments indicating which of the old versions would run under '98. Saw ver 5.35 mentioned. But also read that ver 5.24 was the last to support Win98. Can't remember just why, but I felt that 5.24 was the one to go with. Probably from more reading there. Went to Winamp Heaven. http://www.winampheaven.net/old.php?major=5 Downloaded v.5.24 Installed. It works fine. I don't use it much, and have never really experimented with all its many functions... I can say that I can load an .mp3 in it, and it COMES out of the speakers. I think that if this version works under '98, it should also work under ME. Or, you could visit that forum, and search for comments from others that are using ME, and see which they are using. I hope this HELPS.
