Solve : Need help with Motorola Moble phone tools? |
|
Answer» Motorola PhoneTools are available for download, but for a fee. Not the ideal solution if you've already paid for it. First your phone is not capable nor recieve any mp3 FILES,so it is very hard to download a ringtones as what you said earlier,I suggest that look for a phone that has a expandable memory,like V3I or V3XX....Quote from: dobhan on February 11, 2008, 11:14:08 PM First your phone is not capable nor recieve any mp3 files,so it is very hard to download a ringtones as what you said earlier,I suggest that look for a phone that has a expandable memory,like V3I or V3XX.... dobhan, you are quite mistaken. While it is true that the V3 Razor does not have expandable memory, it is most definitely capable of ACCEPTING and playing mp3 files. I have a V3 Razor and have transferred mp3 files to it for use as custom ringtones. (Black Sabbath's Iron Man being my favorite:))Quote (Black Sabbath's Iron Man being my favorite:)) At least you chose a Classic ! !No mentally handicapped frogs or hippitty hoppitty music for me. Ok, GUYS, thanks for helping me. How about I refrase the question. and this phone has worked on this software and still does but I am wanting to upgrade phones that are not in the softwares database wich means it needs updating. CAN ANYONE HELP ME MAKE THE REGISTRY FILES CORRECT?You can try this: Open Regedit (Start > Run > regedit > OK) NAVIGATE to: HKey_Local_Machine > SOFTWARE > BVRP Software RIGHT CLICK on "BVRP Software" Click on "Permissions" Add any additional local pc or domain users Check the box that gives them "Full Control" Click "Apply" Click "OK" Close Registry Editor and you're done via another search I'm getting same issue. Ringtones transfer just fine, backup works just fine. Just this errror msg and the inability to update! Jrod |

Solve : Excel Program? |

Answer» Hello, How do I make both sheets match even after i print double sided?I'm not sure what you mean. Since the sheets are printed on separate sides of the paper, how do you want them to match? Why do they need to match? Do both sheets contain the same number of columns? The same number of rows? Are column widths set the same on both sheets?It's POSSIBLY the margin print settings in excel that may have to be changed after the first print. If the first print is reversed for printing, then the margin may have to be altered accordingly, so that both prints are ALIGNED... |

Solve : Just what is Acceller? |
|
Answer» I have an emachines (model 3642) that came loaded with WV and I need help with a few of the programs on it. 1. Exactly what is Acceller? Does this have anything to do with the speed the computer achieves? 2. What is BigFix? 3. My sound manager informs me there is no recording device. Is that something that is necessary or is it like external for the microphone? 4. An Icon in my bottom bar is telling me to 'Launch IE Browser". What browser am I using now. I am also using AOL as my ISP. Thanks for the feedback. What exactly is WV ? ?Sorry Patio, WV is, Windows Vista.Accelor from what i could find may be an ISP...IInternet Service Provider. Who is your ISP ? ? BigFix looks like one of those monitoring programs that promises to fix everything on your machine and simplify your life....rarely does this happen. How old is this machine and where did you purchase it ? ? It basically looks like it came with a bunch of pre-installed software. This happens ALOT with big retailers.BigFix....I used to use it. It was pretty handy tool, which was monitoring your computer for available updates of any kind. Unfortunatelly, few years ago, it went corporate, and doesn't serve ordinary people anymore. In corporate world, it's a big player, though.The computer was purchased from "Best Buy". And, you aren't kidding about a bunch of preinstalled things. In four days my scanner was scanning more than 400,000 things. And for someone like me who has no idea how to properly or even what to properly load, it's a nightmare. And the techs at emachines seem totally INCOMPETENT. I had to get the "Geek Squad" to help me with my audio problem after two techs had taken RC of my computer and still I had no audio. And to make matters worse. They don't have a toll free line. Anyway, I was asking about the Acceller program because it SOUNDS like it may control the speed of some things on here. My emulators are running at uncontrollable speeds and they weren't doing that on my old comp. I think she lost her V-Card again, as the monitor went dark and said, no input or no cable connetion; same as it did the first time when I had to replace the V-Card. So I just got something new. Broni, I wish I could send you the old one so that you could find out what the repair ppl down here couldn't. So Broni, knowing me, do you think I should use the BigFix. I think it needs to be installed. Shoot I don't even have IE launched. I'm sad I know I need a tutoring mentor. I'm sure I'll be back... As I said, BigFix doesn't work for regular people anymore. You may want to post HijackThis log, so we can see what's running on your computer. We'll go from there.It's been a while so work with me while I download the tool again. I'll need to find the thread and the instructions to download HJT.Download HijackThis: http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/tools/security_tools/hijackthis/download Click on Download HijackThis Installer Post HijackTHis log.Broni, aren't there a few steps between downloading and posting. I do recall having to make a folder and stuff.No. This version of HJT comes with installer, so you don't have to worry about creating a folder.Okay, Am I going to do a scan and save a logfile only? The first Prompt...Yes.Logfile of Trend Micro HijackThis v2.0.2 Scan saved at 11:25:33 PM, on 3/25/2008 Platform: Windows Vista (WinNT 6.00.1904) MSIE: Internet Explorer v7.00 (7.00.6000.16609) Boot mode: Normal Running processes: C:\Windows\system32\taskeng.exe C:\Windows\system32\Dwm.exe C:\Windows\Explorer.EXE C:\Windows\System32\rundll32.exe C:\Windows\RtHDVCpl.exe C:\Program Files\Google\Google Desktop Search\GoogleDesktop.exe C:\Program Files\Spare Backup\SpareBackup.exe C:\Program Files\Napster\napster.exe C:\Program Files\Common Files\aol\1205257230\ee\aolsoftware.exe C:\Windows\ehome\ehtray.exe C:\Program Files\BigFix\bigfix.exe C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\ONENOTEM.EXE C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\ccSvcHst.exe C:\Windows\System32\rundll32.exe C:\Program Files\Google\Google Desktop Search\GoogleDesktop.exe C:\Windows\ehome\ehmsas.exe C:\Program Files\Google\Google Desktop Search\GoogleDesktop.exe C:\Program Files\AOL 9.1\waol.exe C:\Program Files\AOL 9.1\shellmon.exe C:\Program Files\Common Files\AOL\Topspeed\3.0\aoltpsd3.exe C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis\HijackThis.exe R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=54896 R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Page_URL = http://www.gateway.com/g/startpage.html?Ch=Retail&SubCH=nofound&Br=EM&Loc=ENG_US&Sys=DTP&M=T3642 R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Search_URL = http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=54896 R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=54896 R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://www.gateway.com/g/startpage.html?Ch=Retail&SubCH=nofound&Br=EM&Loc=ENG_US&Sys=DTP&M=T3642 R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant = http://www.gateway.com/g/sidepanel.html?Ch=Retail&SubCH=nofound&Br=EM&Loc=ENG_US&Sys=DTP&M=T3642 R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,CustomizeSearch = R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar,LinksFolderName = O1 - Hosts: ::1 localhost O2 - BHO: Adobe PDF Reader Link Helper - {06849E9F-C8D7-4D59-B87D-784B7D6BE0B3} - C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX\AcroIEHelper.dll O2 - BHO: NCO 2.0 IE BHO - {602ADB0E-4AFF-4217-8AA1-95DAC4DFA408} - C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\coShared\Browser\2.0\coIEPlg.dll O2 - BHO: Symantec Intrusion Prevention - {6D53EC84-6AAE-4787-AEEE-F4628F01010C} - C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\SYMANT~1\IDS\IPSBHO.dll O2 - BHO: SSVHelper Class - {761497BB-D6F0-462C-B6EB-D4DAF1D92D43} - C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_01\bin\ssv.dll O2 - BHO: AOL Toolbar Launcher - {7C554162-8CB7-45A4-B8F4-8EA1C75885F9} - C:\Program Files\AOL\AOL Toolbar 5.0\aoltb.dll O2 - BHO: Google Toolbar Helper - {AA58ED58-01DD-4d91-8333-CF10577473F7} - c:\program files\google\googletoolbar1.dll O2 - BHO: Browser Address Error Redirector - {CA6319C0-31B7-401E-A518-A07C3DB8F777} - c:\windows\system32\BAE.dll O3 - Toolbar: Show Norton Toolbar - {7FEBEFE3-6B19-4349-98D2-FFB09D4B49CA} - C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\coShared\Browser\2.0\CoIEPlg.dll O3 - Toolbar: &Google - {2318C2B1-4965-11d4-9B18-009027A5CD4F} - c:\program files\google\googletoolbar1.dll O3 - Toolbar: AOL Toolbar - {DE9C389F-3316-41A7-809B-AA305ED9D922} - C:\Program Files\AOL\AOL Toolbar 5.0\aoltb.dll I have to do the darned thing over.

Solve : can hanycam use as web cam? |
|
Answer» i have win xp ,intel 2.4ghz,40gb hdd 128ram, can i USE my sonyhandy cam as webcam Check the manual - some cameras can be used as a webcam, most cannot.My Fujifilm digital CAMERA will do that but I don't see it as very practical for extended webcam use due to battery drain on the camera. I believe my Handycam can be used as a webcam, so yours might also be able to. However, we don't know the model number, so we can't give a definite answer. But like soybean says, it's not really a practical solution. I would suggest buying an ACTUAL webcam, which are pretty CHEAP these days. You shouldn't have to pay more than $20, unless you want more features. |

Solve : Norton Antivirus won't finish installation? |
|
Answer» Hi there everyone, On the other hand... So continue on with a cranky program that doesn't want to perform properly ? ? Not me.To each...his own... REVIEWS: PC Magazine CNET Users have to understand that some products aren't compatible with others. This may be why this particular user is having a problem with their installation. While malware protection is a necessity...some people have a tendency to go overboard with their protection...downloading this...installing that...until eventually...they run into issues. All one has to do in order to protect their PC is to stay on top of their operating system's updates...use a firewall...and install a proven and trusted malware program. If they stay on top of these three things...and understand what it is they are doing...they won't have an issue. Granted...not everyone knows everything they need to know about the software they purchase. They buy the product, install it...then forget about it. If they have issues...they should use their manuals...contact support...or use this forum for advice. That's what we're here for. This person bought the software...and needs help with it...that's exactly what I intend to do...if he still needs the help. So, Kataji...I'll continue to help, if you need it, otherwise...do as patio has stated and return the product for a refund or store credit. That decision is yours.If push comes to shove, call Norton support. Hopefully you'll get someone that understands and speaks English well enough to get you thru the rough spots. Alan <>< Well, as one who used Norton for 10 years until I saw the light, I felt compelled to add my two cents. My computer has never worked faster and more smoothly than it does since I un-installed Norton with the Symantec un-installer recommended by Patio. I use AVG Freeware and it works terrific. I still have to be careful about what I open as email and from what site I download but I think everyone should do that anyway. I agree with Patio, don't walk but run to talk Norton (the resource hog) back.i would give you an advice that u must uninstall and use avg free version but it need update every two or threeday but it good from norton because i use it very much ago i got that it slows my pc then i choose AVGfree version. you must try it . download from his site not from other .careful about checking email or downloading free software indiscremently! |

Answer» This one is quite a bugger. Whenever I am running a program in fullscreen, every few minutes (sometimes 50 seconds or so) the program likes to minimize to the desktop. No popups, no new windows, merely my desktop with my program minimized. I am not press alt+tab or the windows key or alt+f4. Here's my HJT log....

Solve : hiding program files from search? |

Answer» No I did not lie. That was for my computer which has to bad of everything to play online games (like a upgraded 98 to ME). It was running so slow one day that I decided to just delete the FILES without uninstalling it properly which ended up causing it to always stay on the add/remove list. And if it was for the same computer I wouldn't had made 2 threads. I would have just put in in one. But what is the Dutch name for maps ? ?That would be "kaarten" or "plattegronden". Just so you know Jonas Quote "plattegronden". THAT'S the one i was looking for ! !I thought you were Dutch or am I wrong?

Solve : Application problem? |
|
Answer» I have WRITTEN a number of Visual BASIC programs which I find very useful, and have subsequently made these programs .exe files. I pinned these programs to my start menu, but one of them wasn't displaying the usual Visual Basic icon. Stupidly, I right-clicked on it and was somehow given the OPTION to 'open with....'. I clicked on this and then CHOSE visual basic from the menu, clicked apply, then OK. Now I find that every single application tries to open with visual basic, which obviously cannot load these applications. Nor can I use system restore, because that also tries to open with visual basic. Any suggestions?You can just try to right click it and change it back to the prog it belongs to. |

Solve : Recommendations on Internet Security Software? |
|
Answer» Up until now I've been using WINDOWS One CARE (got if for $20 bucks for a year, after using the beta edition) but now that my year is up I'm thinking about switching. I've done a bit of searching on GOOGLE and whatnot but I'm not finding anything that screams "I'm the best! You're PC will be safe with me!" Ok, kinda dumb but you get what I mean. Since most run $50+ and is something I'll be stuck with for at least a year, I want to be sure I'm happy with it. Right now I'm running a free trial of ZoneAlarm and I like it pretty well (especially the price) but my only gripe is the VIRUS scan takes oooh sooo long. After a hour and a half I canceled it So what I'm getting at is if anyone has any recommendations I would love to hear them. Thanks!Well,a lot of us like AVG Anti-Spyware and AVG Anti-Virus. |

Solve : trouble reinstalling windows? |
|
Answer» My PC has been shutting itself off at random for a while now, mostly when running programs/games. I decided to reinstall windows in an attempt to rid the problem but the PC keeps shutting down during the reinstall. What protection did you have?you mean like virus detectors? Windows firewall Spy bot Search and destroy Add Aware AVG free Spy ware blaster Spy ware doctor Norton I run checks regularly. Quote How did you uninstall the OS? I just put in the Windows XP CD and clicked install. After a few points a message said this new install would wipe the previous install. When I clicked to continue a message on the side said the installation would take 58 mins, then the PC restarted taking me to a dos like screen where I was given the choice to repair or fully install. I tried both of them but both crashed the cpu shortly in. Sorry if that doesn't help. Nothing has been wiped BTW. Quote By using an appropriate program that says Format C:?don't know what that is exactly, I just did it like above. I thought all you had to do is stick in the CD and reinstall, simple. BTW the cpu has been shutting down long before now, it has nothing to do with my attempt to wipe the PC - apart from it being the reason I'm doing it. I get the feeling the same thing will happen no matter what method I use. Quote Are you still able to boot?yup, but when my CPU does switch off on its own I'm unable to switch it back on straight away. It just freezes at the start up screen. I usually have to leave it alone for a while before it works right again. Edit: just downloaded a program called SpeedFan and it has my temp around 54-56C. Is that good or bad?For the temperature: I do not know much about that but it is the exact same of my laptop and I don't have that kind of problem so. Did you scan your computer for any unwanted software? If I was you I should Dload and run Ccleaner first. run it on the Issue part. The way that you are trying to reinstall XP isn't the way how you are suppose to do it. You are supposed to wipe all data including windows files and apps. Therefor you 'll need a porg that's able to do that.(I don't know anything about that.) Before reinstalling try this: (Be sure to have the CD, but that's no porb I guess) -Start -> run -> type "CHKSDK" then reboot and -start -> run -> type "SFC /SCANONCE" reboot while you are booting the PC will scan you windows files to see if they are still how they are suppose to be. (sorry for my bad explanation) Let me know how it turns out. Jonas Quote Did you scan your computer for any unwanted software?just did it. Got lots of issues but they're removed now. Don't know if it's done anything yet. Quote The way that you are trying to reinstall XP isn't the way how you are suppose to do it. I'll wait 'til I fix this shut down problem before I go doing that. I'd hate to be stuck with an empty hard drive. Quote Before reinstalling try this: (Be sure to have the CD, but that's no porb I guess)Tried it. It opened a dos box, loaded something in 3 different parts then disappeared. I rebooted and nothing happened from there. Normal? Quote -start -> run -> type "SFC /SCANONCE"when I typed that in a minimized dos screen flashed up then vanished. After restarting a loading BAR came up that said it was checking the system for faults. It took about fifteen mins to complete then it just disappeared. And now I'm here. don't know if any of this has done anything. thanks for the help anyway.well the PC shut down while I was watching a movie so I guess it didn't work. Any other suggestions?The way that the process ran is normal but I had hoped that it would be fixed afterwards. If the shutdown issue is a software problem that it should be over when you format the drive but that is only IF it is an software problem. Sow I would wait until you know it for sure. For as far as I can tell I think it is a hardware problem. (But I do not know much about hardware so...) I'm out of suggestions sorry. Just hang around till someone else knows an answer. Jonas maybe I should try third times the charm in the hardware section. Oh, and since I attempted to reinstall windows (my way) I keep on getting a choice during startup to either enter windows setup or start up normally. If I don't do anything it goes into windows setup (in dos) automatically. How do I stop this? It happens without the Windows CD being in the drive. I've also noticed my drivers (not really sure which - something to do with graphics I assume seeing as it happens when I try play games - it's the Fujitsu driver CD that came with the cpu anyway) have stopped working (since the above attempt too) so I figured I'd just reinstall them from the disc, but before I could start I received an error message telling me to remove ATI catalyst control center first. I gave it a shot and during the uninstall an error message popped up saying I have 1 min before the PC shuts down, and so it did. It might just be a safety thing activated by the comp but it reminded me of that old MSblast virus. thanks again Did you already tried System restore? Start -> All programs -> Accessories -> system tools -> system restore Go to a restoring point just before you tried reinstalling Windows about that possibility of a virus you might try Windows OneCare Live it has a 90 day trial so that won't be any problem to scan. (As far as I have tried protection this came out the best) Good luck Jonas Remove the side, first make sure all the fans are running then direct a desk fan at the computer and see how it goes.Quote Did you already tried System restore?that worked. Thanks. Quote about that possibility of a virus you might try Windows OneCare Live it has a 90 day trial so that won't be any problem to scan.

Quote Remove the side, first make sure all the fans are running then direct a desk fan at the computer and see how it goes.I'll try this later.

Solve : Need help to read backed up files from "my documents"? |
|
Answer» Just recently my computer was corrupted and I had to send it out to the geek squad at best buy. They used a RECOVERY disc to rejuvinate my computer. During this process they backed up "my PHOTOS" and "my documents". When I downloaded " my documents " the text COMES up scrambled and not in the format I originally used to write them. I have windows xp and I used microsoft works to write the text for all of my documents. The backed up files are on a cd-rom and I can download the documents, I just can't read them. There are a LOT of precious documents I want to save. If you can help, I would appreciate it. Thank you, Rob rlokoff ....... What format did the Geek Squad use when they backed up your IMPORTANT files ? |

Solve : saving video url's? |

Answer» Hi. Sometimes you can right click on the link and select "Save Target As..", and this will download the movie to your hard drive. That's the first thing I did. I just get the link to the site. I can't import links to thing's like Adobe Premiere. Or other programmes. But thank's for trying to help. PS does any one know were you can download music videos. Thank's.you can download music videos with torrents or p2p (if you're willing to download such SOFTWARE), otherwise i just randomly search google, or go to www.ebaumsworld.com for downloading/''borrowing without permission'' videos from certain sites, i'vebeen able to use the cached files to get the videos, if the format won't work, a cache converter program might (i don't remember any but i'm sure you'll be able to google for one). otherwise... i don't know all in all... google's pretty useful There is a program called URL Snooper that can show all media files that are streaming from online. But there is a bug in it that causes it to shut your computer down sometimes (it happened TWICE to me and then it stopped) and I REALLY have no IDEA what causes it or how to stop it, it could all be random as far as I know. But anyway, after installing it, select the show only Media Files option thing (try the simplified view first and SEE if that works). http://www.donationcoder.com/Software/Mouser/urlsnooper/ |

Solve : No access to forum at...?? |

Answer» Polymatchmaker.com I'm wondering, I've tried registering with two seperate ACCOUNTS and neither works! I see all the stuff in the left column but only log-off, home, and control panel on the top where the forums and personals are SUPPOSED to be listed... if someone who knows what they are doing would make an account and see what I need to do I'd love some help, I've been trying everything. I used Firefox, Internet Explorer, turned off all my SECURITY, installed firebug, you name it and nothing has worked. They people that own the site said if I'm REGISTERED and logged in it should show up at the top of the screen....Quote from: thunderkitty on June 18, 2007, 02:25:56 PM turned off all my security Very bad idea. You should never go online without protection. I hope you have re-enabled it! And isn't Firebug a web developer tool? Not sure how that would help. In any case...I registered an account on the site and although they say basic members have access to the forums, there is no forum in sight. I also don't see any personals. All I see are the main content, the navigational links on the left, and the Control Panel on top. Is this the same for you? I'll keep looking, but so far, I have found no way to access any of these features.thunderkitty ...... Quote I see all the stuff in the left column but only log-off, home, and control panel on the top where the forums and personals are supposed to be listed If you are seeing..... log-off up top, that tells me that you are logged on ....... otherwise it should say, Log-in If you click log-off , does the message change to Log-in. If you click log-in, are you prompted for your username and password ? Have you checked to be sure that your machine is set to accept cookies ? Is it possible that you must UPGRADE to the paid version to have access to all the features ? Let us know . dl65 I think I may know what the problem might be. Weary of possible spam, I used a a fake e-mail address when signing up, so I didn't realize that validation was required. Tonight, I logged in and changed my e-mail address to a real one and they re-sent the validation message. I entered the appropriate code and I now have access to all of the different features. Did you ever receive a PMM Verification e-mail? You may want to check your spam folder. And when logging in, make sure both cookies and javascript are enabled, or certain features won't work properly. |
