Hi I am new here and I am looking for some help. I have a small business and am looking for a software program. I have been looking at neatdesk, but can't seem to find the answers to questions, which would make all the difference. I need a program that can scan in documents, then file them to different folders. It would also need to cross-reference. Example, I make a folder for each job we have, another folder for each employee, then another one for all materials, equipment that the employees purchase using a PO no. Right now I have 20 paper files scattered on the floor while I try to match them up. I need to verify the purchase, with the job folder and the employee. Everything has to be accounted for and everything has to fit, like a puzzle coming together. I have Peachtree accounting software, but that is only good for invoicing, closing out invoices, writing checks and quotes. It doesn't have the above functions I am looking for to make my business easy to manage. I hope someone has some ideas. Thanks in advance. It might help to assist if the following question can be answered. Do you want each employee to input their own data to a common source from their own point of ACCESS,IE their computer terminal. Or do you want all the data presented to another employee that becomes responsible for entering the data on behalf of the pertinent individual?truenorthGood question. For now we are quite small with a budget to match. It would be great to have the first option, but for the time being it would be myself entering the data.Hopefully others will chime in with other ideas and suggestions for you. I am NOT a user of these type of programs but i can certainly IMAGINE that many are. I would suggest that you read up on a few software programs to see if they can meet your goals. Here is a link to compare "Quickbooks" and "Quicken for small Business"
http://www.smallbusinessfinancetips.com/quicken-vs-quickbooks.html
It also occurs to me that Excel (a component of Microsoft Office) may offer that which you seek. I am not sure that you will be able to find a single software that will do all you desire it may take a combination. I would like to see others input on that.
Without any basis of experience it occurs to me that this aspect "I need a program that can scan in documents, then file them to different folders." may be a problem. Once scanned in there would be a need for a program to be able to identify who's it is/what it represents/and where it needs to go. So there would be a need (i imagine) for the input (that which is scanned) to be coded prior to a scan that would enable some software to use the coding to determine and assign it appropriately to your desired result. I hope that this reply will generate more input from others to assist you.truenorth You have been most helpful and thank you. I did some research and came up with a few options for my specific business, which is construction. I suppose I should have said that in the first place. I found a few and am getting some demos on them. One is Job power, which OFFERS a scanning program with it that sounds EXACTLY what I am looking for. Another is Sage Masterbuilder. I just have to find out the pros and cons. I have been using Peachtree accounting software, but need to upgrade. I thought I COULD keep P tree and find another program to help me assist, which would be much more cost effective. However, there doesn't seem to be anything out on the market that I can find. Any more advise will be much appreciated. Thanks again.

So tonight I booted my systems system up with OEM XP Pro CD and saw 2 partitions discovered. Thinking that they were both on the HD I deleted both of them. Problem is that the Thumb drive was detected by WINDOWS installed as a HD even though connected thru USB.

Checked with wife and she has of course work saved on it and NOWHERE else. Anyone have tool suggestions to recreate that partition. I am guessing that SINCE it hasnt been formatted that the data should still be there? And upon fixing the deleted partition and not creating a new partition I should be able to have all her data back?

Seriously cant believe that her thumb drive was detected by Windows XP as a 512MB Hard Drive! I guess the motherboard that is a year old and supports bootable USB devices may be why XP saw it as a HD... GREAT

Lesson learned... make sure all USB drive devices are not connected when going thru a Windows clean installation process!!! cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestdiskQuote from: DaveLembke on September 10, 2011, 11:24:18 PM

I have just switched computers and now have Windows 7. In previous windows operating systems it was possible to open two Windows Explorers which I found useful for comparing or moving files between hard disk & external devices. Can anyone please explain why I cannot do this in W7? When I try to open the second window, it appears but fails to operate.There's no reason I know of that you cannot open two instances of IE. Are you sure it isn't simply that the buttons on the taskbar are grouped together?Are you opening Windows Explorer by clicking on the ICON for it on the taskbar? If so, to open a second instance of Windows Explorer, try right clicking on the taskbar icon and selecting Windows Explorer.

This is the WAY I just did it...

1. Click the Start Orb or press the Windows key
2. In the "Search Programs and Files" box, type Windows Explorer
3. Press Enter

4. Repeat steps (1) to (3) as many times as desired.

Another way is to click on the Start Orb, and in the Start menu, left click Computer, then when Windows Explorer opens, right click any folder or drive and select "Open in New Window".

even if I only open one window and then 'restore down', the page reduces but fickers for 10 seconds or so, then reports 'not responding'.

1. Click the Start Orb or press the Windows key

Am assisting my bro. in managing a cyber cafe, we just developed a problem of recent, the cybercafe billing software (EASY browser) we use just stopped working, and customer comes in log in and it doesn't show on main admin system (SERVER), the time doesn't count, and they have a non STOP connection to the internet. i have tried restarting it several times it still don't work. pls any one with a good answer should please help immediately its affecting the business.Don't you have an in-house tech support technician (or at least one on call)? It would seem to me that for a business such as yours that would be essential not only for the CURRENT problem but potentially for many others. truenorthWhy would we GIVE a business free support?Quote from: Quantos on September 15, 2011, 05:30:39 PM

hello
there are many way to create personal journal to register your thinking. using paper and pen, type them on your computer, record your voice in sound recorder or maybe record your video.
I WANT to make my personal journal in video mode via my WEBCAM, which software can do it for me?

thanks
If you want to record your video SITTING in-front of your web cam then there is no need to INSTALL any other software. In case you have external web cam then you must have web cam drivers and software installed on your system. After that open cam and find video recording button or in case you are using built in cam then your web cam drivers are already installed with your system, so that just open web cam from control panel and start recording video.I guess you could USE evernote (evernote.com) and create a journal with videos only in your notebook.

Reading through the virus/spyware forum logs which is always interesting, and Evil had in one his replies to go to MS and get all critical updates.
Is that correct?
IE8 is now classed as a critical update, but there still seems a few problems with it. Also if added after SP3 it's blimmin' hard to revert back to IE7. I have automatic updates turned off at the moment so l can MANUALLY search all critical updates and decide what l want to download.
Are you saying that l should therefore download IE8?
RegardsYou don't need to download IE8 if you don't want it.Thanks for speedy reply Kpac.
IE8 has only been made critical fairly recently, so if you've GOT auto update turned on, you'll get it whatever happens. That's why l have auto update turned off.
The only reason why l was querying Evils' answer was that the guy he answered would have gone along and downloaded it as it's now a critical update. Hence my QUESTION asking whether l should in fact download it
Out of INTEREST, do you or anyone else think IE8 is good enough to download yet?
Regards
No.
It has caused alot of headaches...i would wait.Thanks Patio & Kpac.
Ignore part of my previous message. I was wrong. IE8 is a high priority update, not critical, so my apologies.
Will go with you though Patio, and will wait for a while.
Anyway, thank you both for replying.
Regards

I am using Windows XP all current updates and IE 7. I am trying to download Flash 9 and I get one of two responses. Most often this message" IE has blocked this site from using an activeX control in an unsafe manner. As a result this page may not display correctly." Other times I get a box on the Adobe download page that says installation is complete version 9,0,124,0 installed successfuly., but NOTHING happens. The bottom line is I can't install flash 9. Any help WOULD be greatly appreciated.

UPDATE: While adobe website says it only offers help online for Flash products, I was able to get telephone help and I am pleased to report my problem has been resolved. Thanks.This may help: Troubleshoot Adobe Flash Player installation for WindowsThanks Soybean. I've tried all steps except downloading sublnACL from Microsoft.

I am going to get
a MEDIA Player and I found two.

•Media Player Classic Homecinema [version 1.2.1008.0]
OR
•Media Player Classic [version 6.4.9.1 rev. 100]

Is one a newer Player what one should I get??
ThanksIf we're talking about a windows media player then go to the source.

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/11/default.aspxThe two players are in the K Lite MEGA Pack and I wanted to know what one is new or why I sould install one over the other???Media Player Classic [version 6.4.9.1 rev. 100] is DISCONTINUED product.

Media Player Classic Homecinema is the one that is currently still being worked on so it'll be getting updated whenever that comes around. The other one is not going to be updated anymore.I am going to install K Lite Mega Pack and install the Classic Homecinema that comes with it.

But I have WINAMP installed on my computer for just my music but if I UN install it will Classic Homecinema play all the Video and Audio that winamp did and my DVDs yes, classic homecinema will play all the video and audio that winamp did and your dvd's no problem. You just have to make the classic homecinema player the default media player on your pc if that's what you would like to use as your default media player ThanksQuote from: nymph4 on June 16, 2009, 07:38:13 AM

I have a Harmonics (Conexant) CX2388x (Also known as a Conexant Blackbird from HP), it was pulled from a friends old HP media center, the only drivers I can find for it are from 2004, they seem to have it installed but nothing is working to initialize it. I do not know if the card works, I do, however, know it did work. I have tried several open source media center applications, XMBC (learned it no longer had tuner support at all), Media Portal (It won't initialize the tuner no matter what I do, and there was a lot of graphical artifacting in the menu's, text stretching across the screen like some deformed ragdoll and such), GB-PVR, and lastly VirtualDub.

Specs:

2.533GHz P4 Northwood socket 478 CPU, 400MHz FSB
512MB PC2100 DDR
512MB nVidia 7300GT AGP 8x @ AGP 4x
Asus P4S533-MX Micro-ATX motherboard, SiS 651 chipset, socket 478, 3 PCI, 1 AGP
320GB WD 3200JB ATA100 hard drive
32x TEAC 32x CD-RW (don't have a DVD burner at the time)
550W ROSEWILL RP550 PSU
Conexant CX2388x (Conexant Blackbird?) PCI TV Tuner
D-Link DWL G510 wireless PCI adapter

And, UH, I think that's it, later on I'm throwing in this old Soundblaster 5.1 Live to see if I can do away with the onboard soundMAX Digital. I've just GOT to make room... Its a bit cramped inside the desktop with that 7300GT's heatsink, might downgrade the GPU to a 128MB AGP 4x nVidia MX5200. Anyway, thanks for any help you may be able to provide.

EDIT: Maybe someone has had this issue before and can help me find some software to work with this card.

I am about to MAKE an mpeg-2 Video File and need some help.

I know I USE MPEG-2 coec but for the Encapsulation should I use MPEG-TS or MPEG-PS??

And why???
Is one older or not as GOOD??Anyone??Anyone I just would like to know what Encapsulation is BETTER for exporting to MPEG-2
mpeg-ts or mpeg-st or ps I FORGET sometimes??

If you wonder then a quick web search can clear up the fogginess and should answer any questions of denial.

Sharing entertainment FILES and proprietary software infringes the copyright laws in many countries over the world and you are putting yourself at risk of being indicted through ORGANIZATIONS watching over the rights of the authors of such files (i.e. the RIAA for music files, or the MPAA for movie files in the USA) or the authors of the files themselves.

Further references found here, here and here.

(Raw material in this case I suppose being disk space). That IMO is the major difference between physical theft and digital theft- the only thing the original owner doesn't lose the item, since the "thief" simply cloned it.

My system restore doesn't go back far enough to fix this problem. I don't know what happened let my friend use the computer a few months ago an the fonts in various programs are Very small. I also seem to be missing Times New Roman in my word 07..

here is what it LOOKS like
I have updated virus an spyware protection, i test it all the time. I also do a registry CLEAN with Registry clean expert.
I never check file/path refrence cause i don't want to fix or delete SOMETHING i'm unsure of.
Where is the above screenshot from?

Not sure if this where I need to post this or not but....I have hp scanjet 4570c/5500c
this is the error message I have been getting...An error occurred communicating with the scanning device. Please ensure that the scanner is connected properly.
I bought a new usb cable. unistalled and reinstalled. Still not working.

I KNOW that the scanner is installed.

Now when I try to install it says select a device but there is nothing to select.

This has been GOING on FOREVER and I really don't want to buy a new scanner.Make sure, Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) service is running, and set to automatic start.What is that? WIAWhat Windows VERSION is it?Windows XPGo Start>Run, type in:
services.msc
Click OK.
Find Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) service in the list.
Make sure, it's running, and its startup is set to automatic.Thanks I'll try this. I'll post tomorrow if this works. I'm off to bed.No problem.It is running and set to Automatic.Check also Still Image Service, and services marked in the screenshot below:



[attachment deleted by admin]Did not find anything that said Still image Services.

On the other all I had was: Remote Procedure CALL. I did not have anything list under it.When you reinstall do you:
1. Uninstall scanner.
2. Turn off computer. Disconnect scanner cable.
3. Start computer.
4. Install scanner software.
5. Connect scanner cable, when asked to, during installation.

Also, check here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&cc=us&docname=c00040499Broni,

I'm not sure of the order I use when I reinstall.

On the the link that you sent see Solution #5 I can do this but I just want to be able to use photo imaging.

Thanks so much for your help.Quote

Hey
I was wondering how do I get rid of pop ups? The kind that asks you whether you want to open a file.
You know how before you run a software a pop up comes up ASKING whether you want to run it or not, well every time I press cancel, it just comes up again. Also every time I log off and log back on it pops up again asking if I want to run the program. Its really annoying and kinda worrying too.

Just to clarify because I think what I wrote is kinda confusing.
The pop up SAYS...
Open File - Security Warning
The publisher could not be verified. Are you sure you want to run this software?

I have internet security and anti-virus protection if that is of use.

Thanks in advance Not quite sure what you mean....

Can you post a screenshot?What operating system are you using and do you know what file/program is trying to open?
The Security warning you speak of is actually issued by windows itself, and is not related to the security software you have installed.

try the instructions here:

http://www.technipages.com/disable-publisher-could-not-be-verified-messages.html


To Carbon Dudeoxide, you were a bit unsure of what I meant so here's the screen shot of it. It's attached below.

To answer mroilfield's question. I'm using Windows XP and there is two different program it is trying to open. One is WinAvi Video Capture (I uninstalled this but it wants me to install it again) but I'm not too sure about the other one cause it had ____.exe (where this line _____ replaced a bunch of what would seem like random letters to me in front of .exe). I think agtcy.exe is WinAvi.

BC_Programmer
The link you provided was very useful and worked until I turned my modem off. I have adsl. Then it just went berserk.
Instead of 'Open File - Security Warning The publisher could not be verified. Are you sure you want to run this software?' a Set-Up thing comes up and it just keeps popping up. It multiplies as well so now I have like 20+ on the bottom of my screen asking me if I want to set it up. I've attached the screenshot of the program it wants me to run. I kept pressing cancel but it just won't stop. I ended up undo what you told me to do so now I'm back to square one. Is there another way to fix my inital problem or a way to fix the second problem?





[attachment deleted by admin]Why bother?It's not a big DEAL but it does get pretty annoying. I'm also not the only user on my laptop. My sisters find it just as annoying as I do. The way I see it is like 'Why does it keep showing up even though I select cancel? Is there something wrong?' If there's nothing that can be done, then 'oh well' but if there's something that can be done than it would be great :) I'm afraid, you'll have to live with it. I do.
This is not the only Windows annoying feature.Wait a second... Is this a file you are purposely running? Or does this just pop-up spontaneously?There's a heck of a lot of info here..

This one looks promising..


It just pops up spontaneously. I installed it (WinAvi) on my laptop once before but I then uninstalled it, ever SINCE I uninstalled it it just pops up, mostly when a user logs on but sometimes it would spontaneously pop up while we're logged on. If you cross out of it, it just pops up again and that just keeps happening. I even tried installing WinAvi again to see if it would get rid of it but even when it was installed the open file MESSAGE would still pop up asking if I wanted to run the program. Go to conrol panel then go to administrator tool then go to services then go to Security Center and disable it then stop it.

I'm trying to USE the free audio editor, Audacity. After I'm through editing an MP3 I TRY to save it as a new MP3, but Audacity won't let me export it because it says I need to use the Lame Encoder. So I download Lame and just copy the extracted folder to Program Files, because I can't figure out what else they want me to do with it. Then I try EXPORTING the MP3 in Audacity again and this time, when I get the warning about Lame I try to POINT it to where the dll is that they want. Trouble is, I can't find it in that folder I mentioned. What a PAIN!Download Lame again?It may have to be a specific version from the Audacity sourceforge site.

can some ONE help me. if i have 24 NEW pc's for an office, with a server do i need to buy Microsoft Office PROFESSIONAL 2007 for each pc's or only one copy??Look into their Corporate liscensing for this...

I not familiar with video burning software, at all.

My wife made herself a movie with Windows Movie Maker and she WANTS to BURN it to a DVD so she can watch it in our DVD player in the living room. Her movie is currently in a .wmv format and I can't figure out how to use any video burning software...I've read instructions but I can never seem to pull it off.

Could anyone give the basic steps in how to to this?What burning software is it?As of now, I'm attempting to use the trial version of Blaze Media Pro.

Unfortunately, I've never heard about this program.
Try DVDFlick: http://www.dvdflick.net/
It's free, and easy to use.Guide: http://www.dvdflick.net/guide/index_en.htmlthanks! I give it a spin and post back, if I get STUCK... No problem you weren't KIDDING when you said it is "easy" to use!

I made an ISO image of her movie, burned it, and it started RIGHT up when I put it into our DVD player...My wife enjoyed her short movie and I sat back and enjoyed the technological media that I created.......

Is there a way to make the DVD in a way that when you insert it into the DVD player, a menu is displayed, instead of playing right away.......like a store-baught DVD?Of course.
There is no need to make any ISO.
If the movie is in common movie format, open DVDFlick, click "Add title" button, select the movie, wait couple of seconds for it to appear, and click on "Create DVD".
You're done.

This probably shows what a rookie I am, but I can't open a file I downloaded to my DOCUMENTS. I get a message window that states "Windows cannot open this file; it NEEDS to know what program created it." This happens when I click "open" I can't determine what information I need or how to SUPPLY it. Their forum won't answer the INQUIRY I made. it is "ivy generator" you can google it and try it yourself. If you do and you get the same thing, then email me with the process, if you don't have anything better to do. Thanx, [emailprotected]

e-mail addy removed to PREVENT SPAM.Try using the program and going to File --> Open.

Ok here I am back again with my sound issues.

The VOLUME Icon shows it's muted, but it is not. I can listen to music and hear everything. But the PROBLEM is that I cannot use voice on skype because of that.

It just happened after i tried something:
Yesterday I watched the video on you tube of how to record a song without a mic using voice recorder. I changed some STUFF in volume options. I ticked recordind instead of PLAYBACK and it wokred, i could record SONGS from youtube for example. But it messed it up I guess. Now playback is ticked back but I'm having issues, just like i described at the beginning.

Please, help guys.
Thank you so much!


I FIGURED IT OUT MYSELF SOMEHOW! YOU CAN DELETE THIS POST. THANKS. What did you do?

Ok heres how my story goes: I learn about torrents so i tried Vuze and uTorrent. Neither one of them worked either because of port forwarding or uPnP or my lack of experience of both. So I did some researching and I figured it might be my firewall or any spyware remover i might have.

On to another thing: whenever I tried to access Norton Internet security I would get an error message and it would tell me to restart my computer. So I try to update Norton to see if that would HELP. THEN it tells me that Norton can't update because the update is not compatable with Grisoft AVG. SO THEN, I try to uninstall AVG but it tells me its protected or something. AAAND THEEN I saw on a forum that going into Run: and typing in services.msc, and stoping AVG's services might help. So i get in there to find out that theyre already stopped!

Plz...lol plz... i dont really want to reduce myself to begging but i need help ive been trying to fix this for weeks and its very...very......very frustrating and annoying. I will add any details you want me to add just ask.

I currently am running a Dell Optiplex GX150 with Windows XP Professional
Intel Pentium III Processesor with the old HD (about 9gb, 3gb of usable space) that was ORIGINALLY on there and a Seagate 160gb

Spyware blockers/ removers: Norton Internet Security, AVG Free Adition, Spybot
First off, using TWO antivirus PROGRAMS is really bad idea.
Secondly, using Norton is even worse idea.
Start with uninstalling Norton, using this: http://service1.symantec.com/Support/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2005033108162039
Then, uninstall AVG, and start over.

- Avast! free antivirus: http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html
- Avira free antivirus: http://www.free-av.com/en/download/index.html

- free PC Tools Firewall Plus: http://www.pctools.com/firewall/

- free Comodo Internet Security (firewall + AV): http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/

If you decide to INSTALL Avast, or Avira, make sure, Windows firewall is turned on, or use PC Tools Firewall Plus.
If you decide to install Comodo, make sure, Windows firewall is turned off.

IMPORTANT! Make sure, you use only ONE antivirus, and ONE firewall.Thanks for the input that stuff will help alot. I cant delete AVG for some reason. Its services arent running but it says its protected. Heres the message a recieve:

Cannot delete avgse.dll

Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected
and that the file is not currently in use

Idk what to do but thanks for the rest I really appreciate itProceed with one step at a time.
Step no. 1 - uninstall Norton
Restart computer.
Step no. 2 - try to uninstall AVG again. If it doesn't want to, reinstall over the top. Try to uninstall again.Ok ill keep you posted with my results

Also are you sure I should do this even though I paid for Norton. Is there some way I can keep the file just not have it installed?Please, do.Quote from: MichaelC13 on February 10, 2009, 08:16:53 PM

Does anyone have [emailprotected] Image HD Backup Software, and does it work well when you make a Image of your Hard DRIVE and back it up on an External Hard Drive? I am thinking of using it to make a complete backup of my Hard Drive and back it up to an external Hard Drive. I comes with a 21 day trial version and after you can buy it for $39.95. Buy it...
However i personally think Acronis True Image is better for the task...and less expensive BTW...
I regularly USE Acronic True Image to backup and restore disk images. It has always worked reliably. I like the fact that an image can be restored to a smaller partition than it was copied from [assuming the actual data will fit in the smaller partition]. Not all imaging programs LET you do that.
I haven’t tried [emailprotected] Image, so I can’t compare the two Programs.

There are some freebies, too:

- DriveImage XML: http://www.runtime.org/driveimage-xml.htm
- SelfImage: http://www.excelcia.org/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=21
- Macrium REFLECT: http://www.macrium.com/ReflectFree.asp

No to question Acronis, though.

basically i have come back to my computer after being away for a few days and my avast home edition needed re-registering. so i tried to do this and it came up with the error:

windows cannot access the SPECIFIED device, path or file. you may not have the appropriate PERMISSIONS to access the item.

so i had a look around my pc to find that i have no admin powers at all. in user accounts it says i am an administrator account yet i cannot add/remove users, install programmes, use system restore permissions etc.

i am running vista home PREMIUM and i have one other user which is the guest. when i tried GOING onto this it again said that i dont have any permissions on the account although this is understandable.

any hlp would be greatly appreciated, thankyou.Legit ? ?
Because this is one of the first symptoms of the new crippling features found in Vista...

I know because i've been testing it for 3 months.you mean legit? and what do you think it is?

so far from help from other people etc i have had to install hijack this, mbam malware and ombofix in safe mode but the mbam and combo came up with nothingout of ordinary. please help.non-legit. If there is nothing out of the ordinary then Vista's crippling features "somehow" got enabled. a Non legitimate installation is one way that this can happen, but I'm pretty sure simple file corrupted can cause. it. Have you run the Vista repair from the Vista CD?havent tried the vista cd because it is back home when i am at university and it would be difficult to get hold of. my system is 100% legit ir should be as i bought it from costco only a few months back.I assume, "Run as administrator" is not present under right click?there is but it has the windows security shield next to the option and when i click on it either nothing happes or it comes up with the same error, no permission.

thanks for your help guys.See, if it'll let you do this: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/enable-the-hidden-administrator-account-on-windows-vista/

It's the most recent version, and when I try to open it (I'm installing it in Safe Mode because I can't access it in Normal Mode) and it says that the system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation. What?

I was trying to get ready to post a topic for help on a worm I found called Win32.Zafi.B and this is stopping me

All I could get was HJT and MALWARE log in the second postI think the SuperAntiSpyware Installer communicates with the home server during install so that might be what's wrong.

My OS - Win98.

If I use a high-resolution (32 bit bitmap) image as desktop wallpaper, does that affect my pc's performance significantly? I mean, slowing down of pc, increased load on pc RESOURCES etc..In my experience, using large high definition pictures for my background slows down the loading of my desktop.
If the filesize is small however (less than say 100kb), it should be fine.I have never noticed any difference.
If the screen has to refresh the background it may be a tiny, tiny bit slower.
But.. if you WANT to MAC the sped you can shut off some other things that do slow it down a bit. In Windows XP, right click on My Computer and select PROPERTIES. Then advanced. Look for the performance box. Click Settings.

Thanks a lot for the hints, mates! If the wallpaper has to be below 100 KB, then I will have to use JPEG images. But the system prompts me that active desktop has to turned on if a JPEG is used for wallpaper. But I have a utility running in the background, that is,'TransText'. This utility doesn't work when active desktop is turned on. So I guess I will have to bear with bigger size of BMP wallpapers.

Why did you take so LONG to GIVE this information? You were asked about 5 times.

We need you to tell us where you found the product key. Was it on a sticker, or on the CD CASE, or where was it?

MDG is a Canadian computer store chain, they don't make computers. Many people on the Web say they have really bad customer service, is this why you have not contacted them?

Ok. Is there a program that can MAKE the data on the hard drive so that there is none or little free space between data files?

For some strange REASON, my laptop isn't being charged. It says that the battery is:

0% avaliable (plugged in, not charging)

So this causes random shut downs due to lack of power in the laptop, but the charger is connected!

I've tried this with several battery charges, with higher volts, and the problem still presists. Help is needed!How old is this laptop/battery ? ?The laptop is round give or take, a year old. The battery charger is around 5 hours old Quote from: Arsenalftw on February 16, 2009, 01:38:03 PM

I cannot get any computer mouse to work with my computer. I've tried both USB, and Ps/2 ported mouses and neither will work. WELL to some point they do but what happens it they work fine for 10-15 seconds and then they start LAGGING and then freeze up permanently, which can only be remedied by a complete restart. Virus Scans, Defrags, and System Restores have come up with nothing. Is there anything I can do to fix this? One solution I have found is to completely wipe the hard-drive and then reinstalling your OS which I have done but to no avail the problem persists.

I am using a Compaq Presario Desktop. (don't know what the model is)

2Ghz Athlon 64 processor
1.5Gb RAM
110Gb? hard drive
500watt Power Source
EVGA 9800GT GPU
>I'm sure there are some other things I cannot remember at the moment.
All in all its been a decent setup until this problem reared it ugly head.
As mentioned before I have tried several different mice ranging from USB to Ps/2 ports. None will work.
I previously had Windows Vista 32bit loaded on and have SINCE blanked my hard drive to see if that worked, but it did not. I am using a Sabayon Linux Live CD to get on the computer right now and the standard trackball mouse that CAME with the computer originally is working okay for the moment, but I would like to be able to get my wireless optical mouse to work as the trackball mouse is simply junk.

Is there anything I can do to resolve this issue?
Did you install you chipset driver?I haven't but now its kind of late as I don't have an operating system installed, and I also don't know where to find the chipset drivers for my computer, and I have AMD Sempron not Athlon my mistake. I'm in the process of installing Sabayon Linux and after that I will find the appropriate chipset drivers, and see if that resolves the issue.

I've finished installing Linux and the mouse was still having problems so I 'gently' chucked it at the ground and it started working for the time anyway. Will update again if the problem comes back. I have a feeling that this was probably just a COINCIDENCE as more than one mouse had the same problem.

Mini toolbar worked for me for MONTHS and months. I got used to how shy it was and how long I could wait after highlighting text before the toolbar would FADE away. It's still enabled on my version of Word, but suddenly it's started disappearing in well under a second even if I haven't moved the mouse away. It's just on the screen for a teeny BLIP, then, poof, GONE! What might be causing this? i do not know what has caused this,
but for the toolbar to reapear simply click
view,
toolbars, and then select the toolbar which is dissapearing

We recently had to set our computer back to manufacturer settings due to VIRUS issues. Ever since, it has not recognized our Creative Zen MP3 player.

I have camera video clips saved on my computer that I always USE to beable to open, now none of them will open. I click on the video clip, a file download box comes up, reads, Name: Movie.wmv, Type: Unknown File Type. I click run, then a Windows box comes up and reads, Windows can not open this file Movie.wmv. This never happened before, they always opened. I tried opening them in other ways, Quick Time, Windows media Player, nothing. I had a Vundo Trojan one time a had to delete alot of things to get rid of it, could I have deleted something that I need to open these VIDEOS? Thanks......Try PLAYING the files with VLC Media Player:
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-windows.htmlYou may have deleted the codecs necessary to play those formats.

Try VLC player as suggested above. It's the best standalone player.

Otherwise get FFDshow and media player classic, and install those.

Hello everybody. I recently purchased a custom-built MACHINE running XP. I had hoped to use about a half-year old flash drive I purchased to copy information from my old machine (Running Windows ME) to the new one. Well a few days before the new computer came in I copied a whole bunch of things to the flash drive and it was working perfect. When the new computer came in I used the flash drive perfectly with it and copied the information and took it back to the old computer to put more on it and...the computer refused to recognize the flash drive was even inserted into the USB port. It doesn't show up in My Computer, Device MANAGER, ANYWHERE. It's as if nothing at all is plugged in the port. And every other USB item I have works in the port; just not the flash drive. So I put it back in the new computer and it works just fine. This is so extremely frustrating...This is the only way I can transfer my information since my old computer does not have a disc drive in it. I really hope somebody can help me. Thank you!I had a similar PROBLEM. My nephew's pc has winXP, and my pc has win98. When my nephew plugged his flash drive to my pc's USB drive, nothing worked. It seems if you use your flash drive on a pc running winXP, you can't use it on any pc running older windows versions.Have you tried the rear ports on this machine ? ?
I know the front ones are more convienent but give it a go...windows 98SE and ME REQUIRE drivers for removable storage devices such as flash drives. These can be found at the manufacturers website.Or Here...It only works up to xp cause they had changed the codeing thus what the older operating systems were built on is no longer applied to xp and vistaQuote from: squall_01 on February 16, 2009, 02:11:20 PM

i have downloaded alot of songs and burned them to dvd - i SAVED as data, so i can upload it to computer ANYTIME or so i THOUGHT ?

I've tried just about every piece of software out there trying to find something that doesn't give me choppy FPS when screen capturing. My GENERAL settings are:

30 fps
Uncompressed AVI
1680x1050

I have the correct video drivers for my video card which is an ATI 1900xt with 512mb onboard ram and my pc is an AMD 2.5ghz quad CORE with 8gb ram 64bit. There's no reason I should be having this problem. I'm guessing this is boiling down to a codec issue but I'm not sure... Any help would be appreciated.
Hello, and welcome to the forums.
Generally, recording video WHILST GAMING will cause a performance hit.
30fps at 1680x1050 is a lot of data to process - where is it going? In other words, what storage device are you using? That's often a major bottleneck for this sort of thing.
Have you tried dropping the quality settings on the game or recording?Thanks for the warm welcome. Programs like Fraps work just fine for gaming. I'm trying to do standard desktop recording. The data is stored on the primary partition on my standard internal sata hd. Regardless of what FPS I use OR even droping the resolution of my monitor, it always acts like it's recording 15 fps.

Dear Forum -

I keep getting the following message from Spybot Search and Destroy:

ActiveX Distribution Unit
Value Deleted

Then I only get the options "allow change", "?" and "Info". I CANNOT click on "DENY change", which I would like to do because I have no idea what's going on here. When I restart the computer the same window keeps popping up. Why can't I deny the change? Is there something fishy going on here? What should I do?

Your HELP is GREATLY appreciated!!




You should allow those changes.
But why, Broni, why??malware would be adding values, not deleting them, I would imagine.Thanks, Forum!

I will allow the change, though I don't KNOW why. If only to get rid of that obnoxious pop-up window, I GUESS.

I have recently brought a NEW COMPUTER, works great, with no VIRUSES, but when i connect either my Ipod or PSP, it runs the 'found new hardware' wizard, and when i run through the wizard, it says it CANT cant connect. My PSP and Ipod both WORK on my laptop, and when i go into device manager, it says its there, but i cannot access it. What can i do to connect them?

Hello,
I recently encountered a problem on my computer: Uninstalling a PROGRAM has no effect anymore - it's still there.

I click on "Uninstall", the uninstaller runs and comes up with a success message, quits out as it's supposed to... and the program is still there in full! This problem happens with all programs on my computer.

This problem happened about the same time as I installed Revo Uninstaller, which I think is probably causing the issue. However, I can't uninstall Revo Uninstaller... not VIA Programs and Features, and not via itself.

Also, my avast! antivirus has started to malfunction - it refuses to scan. I doubt these two problems are related, but I don't know.

Please help me - My hard drives are very close to full now and I have to uninstall some stuff.Also:
-I'm using WINDOWS Vista Business 32bit, not SP1
-There is no error message, only a uninstall success message which is false.Try Revo.Read my post, kpac.
Read it.My bad - sorry about that.

How much FREE SPACE have you?I have 5 GB on my C drive, 9.2 GB on my D drive. All my programs are installed on C drive.

Hi. My name is ryan. I need someone or a programmer to HELP me make a program similar to pokesav which is a application that edits pokemon files as well as the game itself. If anyone is willing to help me I would be very happy because I don't know anything about code but I have great computer skills. Email me at [emailprotected] if you think you can help me. I don't know where else to go. If there is some other place or forum with people that can help me please let me know. I am also looking for maybe a programmer that can be my friend and help me make several PROGRAMS until I learn programming myself.

email addy removed to prevent SPAMWhy not just use PokeSAV?I have a specific thing I want to do for just events and lv100 shiny pokemon.Wow, PokeSav is FTW. I use it all the time.

If you don't use that, buy a $40 Trainer Toolkit, it COMES with everything, premade codes, and a software that helps you create codes for any game.

I know you can put Background MUSIC or sound on your web site and I have the Code.

And I know the Lower the Qwality and sound and things like that will make it play faster with people on a slow internet conection.

But if I make a fue secound sound as MP3 or WAV I was thinking MP3 is better because it has more Compresion??

Am I right or how does this stuff work with Background sound???It requires some kind of support. Like a plug-in.
You can use a program that generates the stuff you need to play music or voice in the background. But you may not have a lot of choices about sound quality with some of th ose METHODS. You have to SETTLE for what is available. And it depends on you audience.
A common thing is to just do a java applet and put it into the HTML as an object. Poor audio quality, but with my voice is SOUNDS good.
A popular thing now is to use an Flash thing. It is a SWF file and can be made from MP3 and allows different audio quality.
Here is just one of many sites that will HELP you:

Ive got a project that ive been brewing up and what ive been wanting to do is FIND a way to take still slides or snap shots from dvd movies on my hard drive and than captioning and storing them to eventually make a piece meal story.

What SORT of program should I get for this and if POSSIBLE is there one with a more streamlined interface as im not a very computer oriented person?

Thanks for your TIME!PowerDVD allows you to take snapshots and save them to files .... then just load them into any graphics editing program and add your captions.

I am putting a Frame html code on my web site and I am having trable getting it right.

This is what I want just a basic Frame and it to have a Left and Right side.
I wanted to ask if anyone can just Past the Code here for me to copy?>

I did have it and I lost it and when I go to the net I find to many Frame and not the ONE I need.
ThanksQuick question, what program are you using to design this website?I do all the HTML Code by hand in Notepad.

So unless I need a realy long Code or something I just do it my self.

All of my Tables are by hand and I did know how to put a Frame on a page. You know a simple one with one page in the Left Hand Side amd one Page in the Right Hand Side and that is it.

But I lost itI don't know what the CODES are for framesets, but I think you need another HTML file.

I do know how to do it in the WYSIWYG Editor Macromedia Dreamweaver.

I strongly suggest using a WYSIWYG Editor rather than coding websites.

A free one I know of is NVU:

What's wrong with WYSIWYG Editors?

Not when you use Macromedia Dreamweaver where you can click a button to instantly switch to Code View.
