I have my pop up blocker disabled but when certain things try to open up in a popup window I get an error message that SAYS your browser blocked a window and I don't understand why this is happening if my pop up blocker is disabled. Is there something ELSE that could be wrong...what pop up blocker are you using? Is this this the Internet Explorer pop up or something else???I am thinking it is my internet explorer pop up but I have my pop up blocker disabled and I listed the site in my trusted sites and it STILL gives me the error that my browser blocked a pop up....

for certain other websites like when I have to click on a calendar to open up like to select a date.. I can't get those pop ups either....

Just not sure what is wrong...

Thankstry RESETTING internet explorer and see if that help fix the problem.

After the reset, you can retry the disabling of the popup blocker of IE if it isn't already disabled. I tried resetting it and it still gives me the same message. I have included screen shots of the message I get. In the screen shots you can see my pop up blocker disabled also the site is listed as a trusted site. Let me know if you would like to see anything else.



[recovering disk SPACE - old attachment deleted by admin]

I just switched to Windows 7, 64 bit. MS Office 2007.
I can't read pdf files when I open them.
MS Word window opens.
Then a pop-up window called "File Conversion" comes up. It SAYS: SELECT the encoding that MAKES your document readable.
I have 3 choices. Windows, MS-Dos, Other; I select Windows. and get a "Preview" which is 'computer gibberish.
So I have to open Adobe Reader (Latest version) - click open and find my file in order to open it. I want to be able to click on it when I originally want to open it and have it read the pdf.
What am I doing wrong? What can I do?
How To Set or CHANGE File Associations in Windows 7 & Vista ! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Now I can quickly, easily read my pdf files!

I also can't read files that end in .sql . I think they are associated with WordPress. This isn't on the wonderful list you sent me to. Any help on this one?

I also can't open files (videos) that are sent in Camtasia. Any ideas on this?

The contacts in my MSN Mail address BOOK have disappeared. My computer crashed and they weren't there when it restarted. Any suggestions as to how to find/restore them? My OS is WINDOWS XP.The only thing I can imagine you COULD do is try a to restore from a restore point. I may be wrong but if you need help doing this then we can.

I am assuming my problem is a software one. I am using XP Pro on a Dell DIMENSION PC. My problem is that for some reason when I burn a CD using Window Media Player (version 11.0.572.5268) it says it is burning, each track fills as usual, pending, burning, finalizing etc. However it does it very quickly indeed. Once COMPLETE it will only play on my PC, no other household CD player will play it (only one track comes up and it will not play at all).

It reads CD’s fine and plays them.

I tried a program called Microsoft Fixit Center, but all it says is that “this drive will not record CD’s" Well I know that!

However I also have my daughters OLD version of iTunes she left on my PC. This works fine, burns the CD and it will play on any machine. Which is what makes me think it is a software problem.

The CD/DVD drive is external (a Phillips SPD3100l) connected via USB, which I have had a few years and seems to work in all other respects, but for some reason suddenly has this strange problem. Any ideas anyone?
That is normal.
Is this your own music that you composed?
If not, you can only play it on your PC.
It is part of DRM.
Digital Rights Management.

It is like when you have to ask the Fire Department ...
if you can have a backyard Bar B Q today.I would agree with you but for two reasons. One I have been burning copies of many CD albums over many years WITHOUT this problem Also I tried to burn a copy of my brothers band (which I transferred from vinyl). This would not play on my domestic players either.

The music I burnt from the iTunes program were from original CD copies (Mozart, Britney Spears and Led Zep) also some downloaded (from Audable). All of which were fine and played fine on my home players.....We are talking about computers and how big companies try to interfere with our choices of what software and hardware we can use and how we use it.

Earlier I have mentioned how the Digital Rights Management is a conspiracy. And some members are getting tired of my ranting on and on about this.

So, I we use an allergy Allegory. Here is my Allegory. In a criminal trial against an individual the prosecutor may not have direct evidence of the specific crime. So he may introduce into the record the history of this individual in some other crimes that he committed. This would influence the jury to yield a guilty verdict. But the defense will object, saying the past history of the individual is not on trial here.

All right, but take a look at this. And then tell the Jury to ignore the information you see below.

I've been trying to insert my picture into a cover letter and or resume. I've only had moderate success with MS Word. Can you recommend a program to do this? I can re size the picture and place it in the letter but the spacing isn't quite right. If I put the picture on the right it's like the picture takes up the whole space from left to right on the page and I can't insert any text to the left of the picture and it looks not quite right.

my laptop came with a trial VERSION of MS office 07. I am in school, and use a lot of Word for school. When i am not at school i save a lot of information to a thumb drive, so i can continue the work on my laptop. Can i move documents back and forth from word and open office without loosing work, or data corruption? Yes, recent versions of Open Office recognize and can save in the Word 2007 .DOCX format.Yes.

Since you are a Student you should inquire at the bookstore about a full copy of Office 2010...the discounts for Students are substantial and should be taken advantage of whenever POSSIBLE....matter of fact grab Win 7 as WELL and save it for your next upgrade..... what about power point, and excel. They will also work the same with open office. I didn't THINK to ask about that as well, i do apologize. and i didnt know about the student discount. i will have to look into that as well. Thank you Yes...and Yes.Thank you for your time and information. Have a great day.Do the same...

I just recently bought a webcam. Its a logitech C200. The problem is when I use any kind of chat service to webcam with a friend, I have a bad connection and get kicked out. For example, on skype, it says i have a very slow connection, and on oovoo I am usually I start out in green bar for 2 minutes, than change to red bar and get kicked out. I just recently updated the RAM on my computer so that I could use the webcam. Any ideas on how to fix this please?

Im using an Acer travelmate 4650 laptop with 1.99GB RAM.
I also use Windows XP.

What type of internet connection do you have and what is the speed you normally get from it? truenorthI have PTD, and the speed on my laptop is around 54.0MbpsWhat he means is cable, DSL, satellite or other?
54.0Mbps is your connection to the router or the modem, not to the internet.PTD is an ISP that works mostly by using other providers lines. They offer cable, DSL and dial up service. The DSL speeds range from 384 Kbs to a 20 Mbs service. No speed is given for cable but they offer DOCSIS 3.0 and channel bonding so it should be a decent speed.

The first THING you need to is to check your actual speed.

http://www.speedtest.net/ is a good one.Oh ok, thank you you for the explanation. I have cable internet. Here are my speedtest results.

That should be more than good enough for Skype, or any webcam. Check you speed several times a day and see if it changes drastically.

My first guess is that's an interment problem with your cable provider.yeah, speedtest shows drastically diff results. This is what i just received after testing:


Sometimes though i will get like a 1.00 download, and a .20 upload.
I dont know whats up with that. That's a huge difference between the two tests, but either is more than enough for Skype or webcams. There is a little disagreement about the minimum speed needed for video. Some people say 1 Mbs down is the minimun and some say 1.5 Mbs is the minimum, so based on those tests you are more than good.

If it sometimes drops to .2 Mbs upstream that could be part of the problem.

I'd test the speeds often for a couple of days and keep a log of the results and times. Also, keep a record of the times you are kicked off. See if there is any common ground.

If you are only having a problem with one person it could also be on their end.

Based on what you have posted so far it may not be a quick fix, but I'm sure it's fixable.I would be contacting your ISP at this point with your speed test results and seeking their input as to why there is such a huge variance. If you are able to detect the huge changes that you have it is very reasonable to suspect that there are instances of where it drops even lower. Which then accounts for the loss of connection. You certainly do NOT have a stable connection. I would go there 1st before i started changing your own equipment. If your having these results with your provider i suspect so are all other customers. If it is only you then it could be their interaction with you via equipment they have provided. good luck,truenorthWhat are modem POWER levels, upstream & downstream?

When I try installing Windows Installer Cleanup Utility it pops up with the picture attached. help?

[recovering disk space - OLD attachment deleted by admin]The DLL for this is not registered with windows:

First off, Reinstall the Windows Script Engine:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=C717D943-7E4B-4622-86EB-95A22B832CAA

Then:

Start -> Run
Type: regsvr32 scrrun.dll
Hit Enter.

Tell me if anything comes up, if not, then try reinstalling Win Installer.'Windows Script 5.6 for Windows XP and Windows 2000
Brief Description
THIS UPDATE IS BEING RE-PACKAGED AND WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE SHORTLY.'

from your link.

and:



[recovering disk space - old attachment deleted by admin]Well atleast the DLL is there, the link was for a reinstall in case that the DLL was missing.

Try reinstalling Win Installer Cleanup now.startmsi.vbs:

Code: [Select]Set fso=CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
bRemoveMSECACHE = False

sProgramFiles = WshShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%ProgramFiles%")
If sProgramFiles = "%ProgramFiles%" Then sProgramFiles = WshShell.RegRead("HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows CurrentVersion\ProgramFilesDir")

sMSECACHEPath = sProgramFiles & "\MSECACHE"
If Not fso.FolderExists(sMSECACHEPath) Then
fso.CreateFolder(sMSECACHEPath)
bRemoveMSECACHE = True
End If

sTargetPath = sMSECACHEPath & "\WICU3"
If Not fso.FolderExists(sTargetPath) Then fso.CreateFolder(sTargetPath)

fso.CopyFile fso.GetParentFolderName(WScript.ScriptFullName) & "\M*.*", sTargetPath
fso.CopyFile fso.GetParentFolderName(WScript.ScriptFullName) & "\r*.*", sTargetPath

sCmd = "msiexec.exe /i """ & sTargetPath & "\msicuu.msi"""
iRC = WshShell.Run(sCmd, 4, True)

If iRC <> 0 And iRC <> 3010 Then
fso.DeleteFolder sTargetPath, True
If bRemoveMSECACHE Then fso.DeleteFolder sMSECACHEPath, True
End If


line 5, where the error occurs:

Code: [Select]If sProgramFiles = "%ProgramFiles%" Then sProgramFiles = WshShell.RegRead("HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows CurrentVersion\ProgramFilesDir")

which means that the WshShell.RegRead call is causing the error. Since earlier functions used to create and use the FSO (which resides in scrrun.dll) succeeded, the problem s probably not with scrrun.dll or it's registration- and is unique to this line.

WshShell is not in scrrun.dll, but rather an object in wshom.dll, the Windows Script HOST Object Model.

So- try:

Code: [Select]regsvr32 "%systemroot%\system32\wshom.dll"

then see if you can run the utility.this happened:

[recovering disk space - old attachment deleted by admin]Go to Start/Run and type in SFC /scannow and hit Enter...

A .doc file is a Word file, not Wordpad. I suggest you download the free AbiWord and try using it to open the file. Or, you could get OpenOffice.org, which has a more powerful word processor than AbiWord. OpenOffice is a full office suite (word processor, spreadsheet, etc.), and it's free.

about software Deep Freeze
- After the re-boot. Did STAY in the device , viruses and malware.... or removed really .Is it possible to use it as a Protection .
- Are there similar programs
Thank you
To answer your first question, I wouldn't really consider it protection. It's not a defense against malware or viruses and it doesn't remove them.

All deep freeze does is set the computer in the SAVED state EVERY time it is turned on. Any file changes or NEW file CREATIONS made during the computer's last use are removed completely.

There are similar programs, but none I can think of off the top of my head.SandBoxie...Thank a lot

Thanks Kpac....when installing this should you have your firewall/Antivirus turned of

I use Comodo and can't fault it.
No, I don't think it matters.

Online Armor will take care of the outgoing connections so just play around with the settings once you install it. I'm not sure about it because I haven't used it.

Windows 7 already has outbound connections checking, but you just need to add rules if you need to.

I hear a LOT about "engines",what does this exactly do ? Is it a program that makes your video-card work with the rest of your computer ? Is there a engine other than for video ?
I`d really like to KNOW,I`m thinking of doing animation with my sound-studio.
I know a bit about computers,but I`m no guru !
Greetz;Eric.

PS;With engine I mean,example;Cryengine 2.If oyu mean things like game engines (like the quake, quake 2, doom, etc engines, half life 2, etc etc.

Consider the quake engine. It was USED in Quake (duh)- but the same "engine" was also used in a number of other games. The engine is the way that game characters and actions are handled. For example, doors are handled by the game engine, as are enemy movement and models, AI, switches and so forth.

This is further illustrated by the fact that most game engines, even for the same genre, refer to the same things with different names or don't even have some things. for example, Duke Nukem 3D was created using the BUILD engine. Since the internal workings of the BUILD engine and how it renders the environment are completely different from quake, these differences are found also in the way effects are created. for Build, creating an effect such as flashing lights or a switch involves the setting of hitag and lotag values on sprites and walls as well as the creation of special "SectorEffector" sprites. Note that it is important to notice also that BUILD itself doesn't recognize most of the effectors used in Duke- Duke nukem itself recognizes a wide assortment and handles them. So while one game might use a Sector Effector sprite with a lotag of 7 as a teleporter, another might use it for something else.

The quake Engine, in contrast, being based on BSP (Binary Space partitioning) can be seen to have a number of concepts from that being used in dealing with the engine. For example, any 3-d Object in quake is a "Brush". Game items, such as ammo, health, enemies, etc, are "Edicts" I haven't mapped much with Quake so I have no idea how it makes VARIOUS effects such as doors opening and touchplates.


Anyway, long story short- an engine basically let's the game programmer work in higher level concepts- instead of having to work with polygons and vertices, they can think in turns of models, weapons, and so forth. For example, they can deal in concepts such as players, items, objects, and vehicles rather then as a nameless bunch of triangles and vertices.Thanks for your very fine explenation.With only a little help from the web I now understand !
You know your stuff !!! After what you said;People who make engines are "artists".
It seems it`s a very specialized "corner" in game-programming.
I came to the question after Autodesk 3ds Max made some referances to it.
Thanks a lot for your reply,greetings;Eric...

PS;Forgive my English,I`m Dutch A engine is a software that the game is based on.

is there a PROGRAM that, when you enter an ID, or screen name, all sn's or id's that are asso with that ID will shoI need this for GAME rooms, as ppl change their screen names twice daily and i WANT to know whom they are, or other id's they use while in the game room.is this your own game room?

hi guys,

my DISK space is getting reduced day by day.. all I do is just surf internet and run few programs..??
that ALSO makes my system slow..is there any tool that cleans junk stuff..??

Thanks CCleaner comes highly recommended. http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/

1) Do NOT use any registry cleaners (ccleaner is pretty benign).
2) Empty the Temporary Internet Files Folder.
3) Disable System Restoer (NOTE: All restore points will be immediately deleted)
4) Empty the Temp Folder
5) Limit the space used by Temporary Internet Files if necessary
6) Limit the space used by System Restore
7) Empty the Recycle Bin
Run a full system scan with BOTH your antivirus utility AND MalwareBytesYou can try ATF-Cleaner, http://www.atribune.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=25&Itemid=25

It can delete both Windows Temp and recycle bin, also clean Firefox, Opera browser.Windows hase a built in disk cleaner I'd been using cc cleaner for years now. Based from my experience this free computer program is highly useful. It has never failed to keep my computer in good running condition. Plus it helps me effectively utilize valuable AMOUNT of my hard disk space.
Can anyone tell me why people want to clean there registry? It wont go any slower because you have keys the computer don't read, also it wont make up so much space, the keys is like 250 byte or even less.

but what about the things where cleaning registry does fix problems???

Mark Russinovich of Microsoft wrote that "Even if the registry was massively bloated there would be little impact on the performance of anything other than exhaustive searches." This is not to say that the ACTUAL cleaning is bad, but it does seem pointless. If your machine has reached a point where the registry file is what is holding it back, it's time for a fresh installation of the operating system.

Hello people, I'm kind of new here and I dont exactly know where to ask this question and I'm really in need of it right now. I'm an owner of a company with a lot of potential BUSINESS clients. As an owner there are a lot of employees who work under me. So there are a lot of chances of money STEALING etc. I have some doubts over someone who is trying to contact my clients secretly and doing business with them. I have had a couple of complains before as well... so what I need is a software or some other way like networking protocols or WHATEVER to check that person's computer from my computer and see what he's doing, like the desktop and all. Our all the computers are connected with the same broadband internet. I want to do it as soon as possible and I want to do it without letting that person know that I'm keeping track to everything he's doing.

PLEASE let your comments flow if you know the solution and pardon me if I sound stupid!You won't get any help here to hack someone else's computer. Try Google.IF, all the computers are owned by the company, and connected to a company network, there are several programs that monitor employee activity, primarily CHECKING for porn activity, (obviously the SEC doesn't use this software).

If you are really that concerned about employees dealing with clients behind your back you need to do a better job with employee screening.A Google or Bing search on monitor employee internet usage will yield some helpful info. Yeah i would advise hiring people who WONT give you reasons to worry about those kinds of things

I recently recorded a video using my video camera. I uploded it to my computer stright from my video camera. I now have to compress the video. I looked online and got directions on how to do this. The problem is when i try to import the video from my flash drive it does not appear as an option. The video is on the flash drive, justnot when i try and import it into windows movie maker. I put the video on my desktop and tried to import it again but again its not an option. Helpwhat file FORMAT is the video? if it isn't WMM compatible, you'll need to convert it first.

and try saving a COPY to desktop and then attempt import of video from desktop if you think original video should be working as is.How do I convert it to WMM?When I said WMM, I meant windows movie maker. What FILETYPE is your original video on your flash drive?

read this Microsoft link which lists the various file formats that windows media maker for windows XP will accept.

Now, for converting FILES, I've had success with Any Video Converter software and Zamzar Online Converter.

Zamzar has a filesize limit of 100 MB though. I don't know what filetype your video camera saves your video as so I can't say if it'll work or not but check it out anyway.

Can RAM Speed Up My Computer? (the answer)


Many people are looking for ways to speed up your PC. And adding RAM seems to be a VIABLE option. To answer the question: yes, the RAM may speed up your computer. RAM stands for Random Access Memory. Everything you do with the RAM team.

The amount of RAM used depends on what type of program is running. That's how it works. All Windows operating systems like Microsoft use a component called virtual memory manager VMM. Run a program like a web browser or an instant messenger, will lead to a microprocessor in your computer to load an executable file in your RAM. For larger programs, so they usually deal with 5 megabytes of RAM. Also, the microprocessor uses shared DLLs, or dynamic link libraries that can go from 20 to 30 megabytes of RAM.

Most users of the programs open simultaneously. For example, do the research, could have a word processor performance while several Internet browsers for research. Sometimes the music player also. This is in addition to the RAM used. If you use more memory than what is currently installed on your unit, then surely experience a slow PC.

In this case all you have to do is increase your RAM. To learn exactly how much RAM you need to add to your hardware, you must first find the amount of RAM you have. If you do not know your state of RAM, right click on My Computer and choose Properties. Select the General tab and information, including RAM, is shown. Then press and hold control alt delete to go to Task Manager. In the Processes tab, you will see the amount of RAM used for a particular program. Add this up and you have the number of RAM it uses. Calculating the deficit of installed RAM. This, more or less, will give you an idea of the amount of RAM you need.

Adding RAM is a cheap alternative to the speed of your computer as opposed to buying a new unit faster. And while you're at it, perhaps you might CONSIDER purchasing an external HARD drive. This is useful for storing and transferring important files that are not normally use. Keep regularly used files on the hard disk only leave more space than the PC experience results faster.

Aside from adding RAM, other ways to speed up your computer is to free some space on the hard disk continuously. Uninstall and remove unused programs, because they eat the space can be used for anything else. Clear the CACHE of temporary Internet files and offline content from time to time.

If you do not have the budget for the improvement of their hardware such as RAM, you can use certain techniques to maximize their skills current RAM. Make sure you only open programs you need. Avoid opening unnecessary programs or software. This will lead to less use of RAM memory, giving a faster PC speed and fewer headaches and frustration that can bring slow PC.


you can also USING some programs that provide ram performance and free it up just like tune up program thant you can download it from there:

I had used Nero in the past - I think I had 5 or 6 - thought it was a real dog's breakfast of a program, to be honest. (In fact, I just sent my CD to my dad last week - it was included on the driver disk that came with the DVD burner I sent....)

Anyway, I've been using Free Movies to DVD to create my .ISO file and Burn Aware Free to write to DVD - which has been fantastic. BUT, it basically means my DVDs are like "videotapes" - you put the disc in the player, and it just plays from start to finish.

Most of the time, that's fine - I don't need much fancier than that.

But SOMETIMES, I would like to do a menu - so I can select which CHAPTER to jump to. Fancy graphics and music are a big plus, but not a must.

AND I'm pretty much a skinflint when it comes to this stuff... Freeware is always best! (Every time I buy the newest gee-whiz media software, it's obsolete before I get it registered...)

I've looked around on cnet and not seen ANYTHING earth-shattering, so I figured I'd throw it to y'all. Any recommendations?Quote from: rjbinney on June 07, 2010, 01:07:28 PM

Looks awesome, but is it worth the 30 clams?
