I am looking for a program that allows me to tag faces of people in photos.
I keep all my pictures on a portable HARDDRIVE which I USE in many computers.
I tryed pisca but the tagging didn't travel with the pictures.
Since GIVING up on pisca I've switched over to linux.
Is there such a program?

Hello! How can I get rid of the windows iso that automatically appears when I start the computer ?

THANK you!

[RECOVERING disk space, attachment deleted by admin]Remove the DVD from the drive and re-boot...I do not have a physical dvd in the drive. I keep ejecting it, but whenever I start my computer is still there. I know, I am not that tech savvy ...Where did you get the ISO from?
What the OP has might be a kind of Malware.
Otherwise, somebody did a virtual drive, which is part of Windows 7.
EDIT: My bad.. Yoou have to get it fro a download.

Did the OP use that tool?

It's a Windows 8 install disk image. It looks like a torrented file. To the OP: if you got this file by Bit Torrent, it is illegal and may contain malware.

I have an HP Pavilion g7 NOTEBOOK PC I bought last year.  I upgraded to Windows 8.1 a couple of months ago and I have had problems EVER since.  The issue I am trying to solve now concerns online videos.  When I am watching videos streamed online in full screen mode, it will pull out of full screen without me touching the keys or mice.  I have noticed sometimes the bar at the top of the browser screen flashes, as though another program is trying to open.  I just took it in to a computer REPAIR shop and they said they removed several viruses.  They advised me to download avast and malwarebytes, and I did.  Then I started a video, and about seven minutes in it popped out of full screen.  I never used to have this issue.  I would like to know what could be causing this, and if there is a setting I could find that would stop a new window from taking a video out of full screen.  It happens on many websites, and I have tried using Internet EXPLORER and Google Chrome.Do you have HP's software tools such as HP Utility Center, HP Support Assistant, etc. installed?  I believe this software is normally installed on all new HP computers.  So, you should have it unless you removed it. 

I have an HP Pavilion g6 Notebook PC and I've found their software to be helpful in updating device drivers.  Perhaps driver updates, such as the driver for your Display Adapter, might be helpful in resolving your issue. I do have HP Support Assistant.  I have tried reinstalling drivers, reinstalling all programs, even took it into a repair shop.  The shop removed viruses, but I still have the issue.  I'm wondering whether accidentally touching the touchpad might be the cause of this.  Do you know how to disable the touchpad?  Try disabling it and see whether the problem continues.

I use Lotus under DOS and Excel under windows what I WANT to KNOW is there any way of making the characters displayed on the Lotus under Dos to display the same way in Excel? These characters are from the same spreadsheet.

[recovering disk space, attachment deleted by admin]θϕ÷

I couldn't find anything exactly like the second one but it looks like it might be a serif-style lower-case Phi, so I went with that.I presume you mean, can it be done without manually changing characters in one file or the other?  I'm not absolutely sure but I doubt it can be done. 

Why not TRANSITION all your spreadsheet files to Excel and be done with your very OLD VERSION of Lotus?

I want to be able to watch videos in a skype call and have the other person hear the audio. I noticed that my computer didn't have stereo mix, so I installed the latest Realtek audio DRIVER from the Asus website.

So now I have stereo mix, but I absolutely cannot get it to WORK. The ONLY way it works, is if I unplug my headphones, which doesn't work for me. I need to use those. But, it DOES work when I do that. I have USB headphones so I'm not using the headphone JACKS. I saw a fix regarding the headphone jacks but obviously that didn't work for me. Even though I just downloaded it, I uninstalled the audio driver then reinstalled - still won't work.

The green bar beside the stereo mix icon just doesn't go up and down. Nothing is muted, levels are raised. I know all of my settings are correct, in theory, because of it working when I unplug my headphones.

Help!You need to know that programs like Skype change behavior when the headphones  in. This is by design. With headphones in the software runs the thing ia a special half duplex mode. In other words, it is not the same as a telephone conversation.In   half duplex you are not supposed to have background music or noise of kids talking.

The solution is to
- not use headphones.
Or
-  not use a laptop.
 Desktops can have more sound options.

Sorry I don't have a better answer. Full duplex conversion is only AVAILABLE on a regular land-line telephone.

Some programs other than Skype will LET both users wear headphones and enjoy ** full duplex. That is the only way to enjoy  background sounds.

A duplex communication system is a point-to-point system composed of two connected parties or devices that can communicate with one another in both directions, simultaneously. An example of a duplex device is a telephone. The people at both ends of a telephone call can speak at the same time and simultaneously each be heard by the other at the same time

HI
I have burnt to a disc using Ashampoo burning studio 14 several PDFs. I am using windows 7. They open up fine and can be read. I then put it  in another computer which uses windows xp and they read fine. No problem. But when I gave the disc to a friend to test on his work computer he insists that it does not work. I sent him an PDF from the disc by email and that was fine but I have now burnt 3 discs and each ONE does not work on his system. He deal s with PDFs regularly due to his work and they open with out a problem. Please can anyone advise what is wrong.

Thank you.
RodMost LIKELY his optical drive then since i'm sure he has PROPER PDF readers as you stated if he works with them all the time.

I've seen CD/DVD drives from different PC's do this...rare...but it happens.I AGREE with PATIO.  Since the disks can be read fine in your machine and the XP machine but not in your friend's work machine the odds are that the drive in that machine is the issue.  One other thing to ask, is your friend sure the drive in the work machine a DVD drive?  It might be only a CD drive.

Hey Folks,
 haven't been here in quite awhile, but have a problem I can't figure out....I have been using a couple of different softwares that require Adobe AIR to run. Everything has been fine til a few DAYS ago and Air quit working....i was going to DELETE and re-install but can't even uninstall it. keep GETTING the message in the image below upon trying to use, or uninstall. I'm using Win. XP Pro and wondering what happened.....

[recovering disk space, attachment deleted by admin]Troubleshoot Adobe Air...

I always wondered about this. When I download/install 3rd party software, eg WinZip, the download files are SAVED in my download folder in Win7. Is there any reason to keep these saved files? I do not need the HD space but just don't like keeping unnecessary stuff on my PC. Thanks.No. Most down load files will continue to be available.
Example, Open Office might be about 200 MB. So deleting the installation download can save some space.  It will continue to be around for years. But you could just burn it to a CD-R if you like to save things.

However, THEE is no proof that keeping them hurts anything. They are not active.
My personal solution is to keep significant stuff  on a 8 GB SD card.

As for disk space., the big space HOGS are the AVI movies. These can take from 600 MB to 18000 MB each. But now that I use Netflix , I have no need to keep them.So I pruned my collection down and now have some empty  hard drives I can use for other projects.
Short answer, no.

The only reason to keep them would be if you think you would be re-installing them for some reason.  I have a number of computers so I download INSTALLERS like that to a network share.  That way when I want to install that application on another computer, I don't need to download it again.  This can save lots of time if it's a large file.

Thanks! Quote from: strollin on March 07, 2014, 10:54:39 AM

Given that by that time, there will probably be a newer version, why bother? I used to keep things, now I don't.

SO I FOUND a portable I think VM called MobaLiveCD But The Problem Is I need to know will this write any files to my HD or ERASE MY HD. Because I want to use it for DSLThe QUESTION is unclear...running a "live" OS only writes temp files to your HDD when using it...

Hello,

I tried several times to install Java fo IE7, Firefox and CHROME, but I always get the Java sanddial turning for a Long time, then ClassNotFoundException. I tried to REINSTALL the earlier Version 45 but no success and I dont have a win7 restore point that I can use because this issue also HAPPENED on certain Websites with the previous ver45. I even CLEARED the files and registry with piriform CCleaner.

The Java verify Website says "Java installed and recognized correctly" but the grey box below doesnt show any Animation!? I also tried deactivating my Avast antirus scan without any improvement, but not the Windows Firewall yet. I also tried the offline Version.

Any ideas how I can get Java to work in a browser? In the "Internet Options" there are also no Java tickboxes to select under the advanced TAB, which I think was previously available?

Thanks, Burton

p.s. I also ran a virusscan with Avast! but nothing found.I dont know why, but I just restarted by browser and it worked.

So I decided to try again following the instructions that you gave me. To my suprise I found that I had over 150 items called pup.optional.and acouple of registry faults. Clearing them all I REBOOTED and whalla! no message from conduit. It seem to take an age to reboot and left a red x over my CONNECTION to the internet but I was still able to connect.

Hello everyone as the topic says, I have a problem with removing windows 8 on my laptop and overall problem with the system is:

Problem 1: I was getting blue screens EVERY now and then,

Problem 2: When, I GO into the BIOS trying to select a proper boot device, it says that my BIOS is not reading my hard drive so, I can't boot my system.

Problem 3: I tryed to insert a Windows 7 CD, install and remove my partitions via CD and it does not work, the CD is moving very slow and not reading it properly:

Problem 4: It says something like that:

Intel UNDI, PXE-2.1 [build 083]
Copyrights [C] 1997-200 Intel Corporation

This product is covered by one or more of the following patents:
US5,307,459  US5,434,872  US5,732,094   US6,570,884   US6,115,776  and  US6,327,625

Realtek PCIe GBE FAMILY Controller Series v2.46 [03/23/12]
PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable

PXE-MOF: Exiting PXE ROM.

Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key

Problem 5: In BIOS, I tryed going into the boot option and select "Boot option priorites" and it only says this:
P2: PIONEER DVD-RW DVRTD11RS
Realtek PXE BO3 D00
P0: ST9500325AS   <--- and none of them works...

Problem 6: No, I cannot ENTER windows selection mode, becuase it does not read it. Everytime it says: Select a proper boot device etc...

Suggestion: One of the local store specialists, I went there and ask what should, I do. He said that, I should completly remove the partition and format it, but I can't even acces the "Delete parition" selections

so, anyone can help me? that'd be great.

Avira Antivirus Error: Load Plugin Failed after Windows 7 Upgrada…

HI guys,

I updated my OPERATING system to Windows 7 Ultimate.

After updating it I received an error message frequently with my Avira Antivirus Personal. Look at the screenshot. It failed to load plugin. I took necessary measures to get it ok.


However, the same message remained unchanged.

If you have any idea for the issue, PLEASE help.

Thanks in advance.Did you try re-installing Avira? Completely REMOVE Avira from your computer. Restart the computer once. Install Avira from its setup.
If you have tried the above, then Uninstall Avira. Download and run/install the free version of REVO Uninstaller to remove all left overs of Avira anywhere in your windows setup. Restart the computer. Download the latest setup of Avira and install.

Hi,

Please can someone help me resolve this problem: Microsoft Outlook gives this ERROR message when saving attachments "The file name is not valid"

Thanks ahead.

One ATTACHMENT or all? Name of attachment? Location to which you are trying to save it or them? You need to provide as much information as possible for us to assist you.All attachments. From picture file, word file to EXCEL. All gives the same error message. The location too is the same.
It doesnt matter where you are saving it.1) What is new or different since the last time everything worked properly?

2) Try this: right-click on the attachment, choose "save as", SELECT a location, save. What happens? I got it resolved. The problem was from multiple installation of Office. I was having Office 2010 and installed 2013 in addition.

Thanks a lot for help anyway.Thanks for the update and I'm happy you got it resolved. In the future, when posting a problem please provide ALL information - such as the fact you recently installed an additional instance of Office.

Alright, I have a problem with saving images from the Internet to my 'my images' folder. This never happened before a few days ago. Whenever I save images, they are cut in half. I have no idea how or why, but they simply do. It never happens if I save images from for instance Google Images, but only images that I save directly from a website, and only when they're not clickable. That is, images that can for example be enlarged in my browser are always cut in half, but none others are.

Below is a typical example of such a picture. To get it like it is now, I just searched for 'circle' on Google Images, picked ONE of the images, and it LOOKED like this (before it was saved).

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0e/Ski_trail_rating_symbol-green_circle.svg

Obviously, the green circular area is supposed to be just that - circular. Which it is not. And it's not supposed to look like this, which is what it looks like when saved on my computer:



My computer is an Acer Aspire E1-572, and it has - like I said - never had this problem before. Thank you so much for Your help! I really need it..The image is too large. Or it is not a format that can be represented as BMP , JPG, GIF or PNG formats.

green_circle.svg is in the SVG format.

Look here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Green_circle.svg
But how can it be too large? Here's a screenshot of what I see in my 'my images' folder:

[img=http://s27.postimg.org/a9q0gddof/What_ISee.jpg]

The image I have 'selected' in my screenshot is supposed to be a symmetrical national flag. However, like I said a part of it is missing. Instead of the whole image like I found it on the Internet, there is just a white border on the bottom and the right, but I guess you can see that yourself . The green circle is obviously the one you sent me a link to, which was SVG. The flag, however, is a PNG. It's clear that more of the image could have been displayed, but it just isn't - so how can it be too big? Is there no way to get around this? Also, thanks for your help so far OK, I was wrong. The SVG is a kind of vector format, not based on a raster

Hello folks, I'm new on this forum.

I've recently picked and ordered all the parts I'll need for my first gaming PC build, but I feel I MIGHT need to get another older oporating system in order to run those older PC GAMES I'd like to play sometime. I believe Windows 8 backwards compatibility mode isn't always reliable, and I may go as far back as DOS games.

I just wanted some advice on what other oporating system I may need to make sure I have less problems running older games.

This is a new build so I don't think I have to worry about backing up any files and such. Thanks in advance. Windows XP is suitable for running most old DOS games. The advantage of XP over olde versions of Windows is that XP is still being supported. But that will end soon.

Using a suitable tool, break your large hard drive into partitions My personal prefer ace is two primary partitions s and  a extended partition.(About 20GB for XP, and maybe 80 GB for Windows 8.) The extended can have two or more logical drives. These can be used for projects, data, videos and backup. Actually, you can even install an OS on a logical drive. You have choices; but avoid TWO  OS inside a single partition!
Install Windows xp first. get it to work good, then install Windows 8.
Nota bene:   
Once you install Windows 8, doing a fresh install of Windows XP is not a viable option.* So get  the XP right and make a backup.

* not impossible -- but don't ask.  Quote from: Geek-9pm on January 05, 2014, 02:57:52 PM

DOSBox is a DOS-emulator that uses the SDL-library which makes DOSBox very easy to port to different platforms. DOSBox has already been ported to many different platforms, such as Windows, BeOS, Linux, MacOS X...

DOSBox also emulates CPU:286/386 realmode/protected mode, Directory FileSystem/XMS/EMS, Tandy/Hercules/CGA/EGA/VGA/VESA graphics, a SoundBlaster/Gravis ULTRA Sound card for excellent sound compatibility with older games...

You can "re-live" the good old days with the help of DOSBox, it can run plenty of the old classics that don't run on your new computer!

DOSBox is totally free of charge and OpenSource.

DOSbox, I'll remember that thanks, but what about games that use Oporating systems after DOS, can Windows 8 handle those ok or should I still consider XP?

Hey there. I use a DRIFT HD camera and had a motorcycle accident last week and the camera hit the FLOOR hard and managed to disconnect the battery terminals so the power just died and the MOV wasn't finalized. The file has the time and date and a file SIZE of 0 bytes. I have tried a MOV file header file fixer to try and fix it but it doesn't recognize the file type. Is there a way to fix the file or to be able to read the file frame by frame or is there no hope at all?
Cheers!
DeadQuick edit, I have checked the amount of space on the SD CARD it is stored on and it does have roughly the size the file is in used space so there must be some data there...

The HP USB Storage Format Tool is a LITTLE godsend for those who use USB flash drives as recovery devices because it is capable of formatting virtually any USB flash drive in a diverse range of systems.

i wonder why people recommend me to go for free Avast antivirus free addition + Malwarebytes free addition instead of Norton.

As you said you have also used Norton antivirus on your system. Kindly figure out  that what is difference between Avast and Norton both antivirus.

also let me know
why Norton recognizes some files as bad even though they are not bed and used by many user on the planet like Adw cleaner.

Norton, among others like AVG are resource hogs ...

How do I get this printer to not print that page # at the bottom of the printed document?
My printer is HP Photosmart all-in-one C4400 printer/scanner/copier, PC is HP 6715B running Vista professional X86.
 I'm TRYING to print some simple text FLYERS I CONCIEVED via Notepad and I have it all just like I want, but I don't want that page # (Page 1) printed at the bottom.
What to do?
As always, thanks for any help!
MikeEasy...   

With notepad open...

File ---> Page Setup... ---> Make Header and Footer Fields blank and SELECT OK ( *Note you didnt want page#, but I am assuming you might not want the header info on there too to have a clean print. If you want the header then just blank out the Footer to remove the instruction to add page number. )

Now you will have a clean print without header name and page number at bottom.

I am running Windows 7, when I call up a word file and then GO to "Control P" then scroll down to "print to PDFlite" it is suppose to convert the word file to PDF.  However when I try to do that, i get          "GPL Ghostscript 9.09:***  Could not open temporary file".       What  is that all about and how do I work around it?          I have DELETED my old PDFlite and downloaded a later version.  Same result.  I am trying to convert a dozen documents to PDF so that I can email them to people who don't have word.  I also would like to combine all 12 documents into one PDF file.   Any suggestions?  Or am I just FANNING the breeze?   I believe this problem occurs when the PDFwrite engine cannot write files into the Windows temp/tmp folder. Do the obvious things: e.g. check that it exists and is writeable, that there is sufficent free space on the drive where it is located,  and try deleting any temporary lock files (created by the PDFwrite engine) in that folder and reboot.


Salmon Trout:  Thank you - thank you - thank you.   You are just great and I am grateful.   I didn't have the slightest idea of what you were talking about but I went ahead and found C:\Windows\Temp and there were a lot of temp docs (not files) but they were all empty.  So I deleted them all and crated a C:\windows\temp\temp file and it worked perfectly.  You guys aerea always pulling my fat out of the fire.  Thanks again to you and all you colleagues.   JIM    Will PDFlite combine all 12 documents into one PDF file?  If not, I believe other tools are available to do this. I didn't try to combine them with PDFlite.  After I had converted all of them I used a program called "PDFmerge" to combine them.  Worked fine.  I will checkout PDFlite to see if it will do that.Btw, which version of office are you using? Office 2007 has a free addon from microsoft which  allows you to SAVE docs to pdf. And office 2010 has that feature inbuilt. Libre office also has export to pdf inbuilt.PCdoc:    I am using Office 200o.   I have a problem trying to use Libreoffice.   I haven't stuck with it long enough to really adjust to it.         I'll try to REMEMBER that for the future however.  (That's a joke.  I can hardly remember to get up in the morning).     Quote from: jim.mar on December 09, 2013, 01:21:26 PM

Hi,
Because of a memory card ERROR, i was unable to ACCESS my raw(.nef) and Jpeg files. i have managed to recover them using stellar and other software.
But, the files don't open anywhere. I have tried - stellar, irfanview, viewfx, picasa, PS6 and other small softwares. No luck.

Error message - " could not complete your request because its not the right kind of document " (PS6) AND " Decode Error. Not a valid RAW file " (Irfanview)

Please help Perhaps the following reference will help: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fileextensions/f/nef-file.htmIt is possible that the files which were supposedly "recovered" are in fact corrupted. When the file system on a flash device such as a memory card is damaged, then important information can get damaged or destroyed. Often some information remains - the starting location and the file size. Most recovery programs just look at the starting location and the size of the file and SIMPLY copied that many clusters in a ROW from the start. This works fine if the files are stored in a single, contiguous block (i.e., defragmented), but if they were fragmented, then their blocks are spread out around the DISK or memory card and the program has absolutely no way to know where/which ones to use. Most of the corrupted recovered files will have at least one cluster's worth of correct data, but then contain whatever happened to be in the subsequent clusters that used to belong to other files. This means that the original files are effectively lost. Having said that, some people have had success with a program called PhotoRec, which searches a bit more thoroughly for file fragments, but even so complete recovery of all files may not be possible.

Hello:
I need some help fixing a few broken links.
I'm using FP2000 & Windows 8.
The Views-Reports option in FP shows some broken hyperlinks (see attachment “All broken links”), which shows= ”_themes/sandston/blhomep.gif”  - and a few others like it plus= “formrslt.htm” - which is related to a feedback form on the “CONTACT THE ARTIST” page.

When I go to the = “edit hyperlink” box (see attachment: “themes - edit hyperlink”), I cannot figure out what to replace the hyperlink with or anything else, so I go to = "edit page" (see attachment: “themes - edit page”) to fix the broken hyperlink = “_themes/sandston/blhomep.gif”, but I cannot determine what is broken there or how to fix anything!!!

Regarding broken hyperlink= “formrslt.htm” (see attachment: “form - edit hyperlink”), I cannot determine what to do in the options box and when I go to “edit page”, (I am not allowed to POST any more forms!), I am led to the “CONTACT THE ARTIST” page and have no idea what to do to find or fix any broken hyperlink in there.

I have been able to find and fix most other broken links in my FP site but not those mentioned above so……….

Thank you for whatever help you can offer on these issues,
Jim

The links are relative links.
Have you used FP 2000 before? are you familiar with how it handles local and remote web pages? Does your website have the FP extensions enables? How do your publish your website? Normally, Front Page does it all automatically. You get into trouble when you try to  FTP something yourself.

Also, windows does not care about upper and  lower case.  But servers do. Even Windows servers.  So on your local machine you might have a link like this:
/images/redface.jpg
which refers to a picture named 'redface.JPG' in your local images directory. And that will work on your local windows machine. But on the remote website it will not work unless FP changes it to lower case.
Make sure all image reverences are lower case.
Hello Geek-9pm.
I'll try this png version of one of my attachments.....

[recovering disk space, attachment deleted by admin]That one's no good!  I'll try another.......

Jim: I have tried a few other attachment methods and am getting no better results so I have no idea how to demonstrate my issues for now.  Any ideas?

The links are relative links.
Jim: what does that mean?

Have you used FP 2000 before?
Jim: Yes, for many years now.

Does your website have the FP extensions enables?
Jim: Yes.  Our site is at: www.rainbowsedgefineart.com

How do your publish your website?
Jim: I publish with Front Page Publish option in the File menu.

Jim: Most of the image references are upper case but I've never had any problems with the "case" thing.

Below is another attempt to show the "Edit hyperlink" box that I have mentioned before - not much better though!   How can I demonstrate the images I need to show everyone that come up in FP after the "broken links" information?

When I try to scan a document, I am PROMPTED to name the FILE and get the following error, which prevents me from saving the file:

The following error occurred while importing image.jpg: The system cannot find the file specified. Try again. Skip this file. Skip all files with errors.

I think the problem started when I had a trojan virus that was TOUGH to get rid of (I am hoping I have removed all the remnants--all virus scans come out clean) and moved the entire shell "Pictures" folder to an external hard drive to protect my photos. I realized afterwards that I should have just moved the individual files. I tried to move the entire Pictures folder back to C: drive where it was, but I don't think that worked in maintaining the associations it had, namely with Windows Photo Gallery. How can I get this working again?

My system restore doesn't work either anymore, so that will be of no help. I am trying to avoid reinstalling Vista at all costs.

ALSO, when I click on the start button and get the drop down box with the programs on the right side and links to folders on the left (see below), the Pictures link no longer works either, which I think is related to moving the entire folder and trying, unsuccessfully, to move it back. How can I fix this related problem?

Thanks so much.

I'll have to start a new topic on the fact that I also can't open or download any files in yahoo using internet explorer 9.0 only (works in FF and Chrome) or download .exe software files in IE9? Just thought I would mention in case the issues are linked...



This means when you created the document you only made a link to the pic...instead of copying it into the doc itself...
Now the file path/location has changed and that's exactly what the scanning app is telling you.
When moving them back it most likely created a new Pictures folder...which path's location is different.
You will have to do it manually i'm afraid.

P.S. This behaviour wasn't CAUSED by the trojan.

Are Windows Program Mgr and File Mgr available for newer platforms?  The last time I used it was on Millenium.a2little, How old are you?
Have you been asleep for 13 YEARS?1. Today, Program Manager has little practical USE BEYOND compatibility with pre-Windows 95 programs. However you can install it from one of these installation CDs: Windows 2000, XP Original Release or SP1. Expand it by typing this at the command prompt (replacing D: with the CD-ROM drive letter):

expand -r D:\i386\progman.ex_ %Windir%

2. To run File Manager natively under Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 or Windows 7 you need COMMCTRL.DLL and other necessary DLLS. You can download an MSI installer that installs these and a modified version of Fileman.exe here:

Libre office has been around awhile. It is much like Open Office.

Here is the problem. Free is not really free. You get Yahoo toolbar and bunch of other stuff your don't want. It used to be free free. I want free free.
Is there some place they put the really free package?All you have to do is pay attention when installing and opt out of the yahoo toolbar... Quote from: patio on December 02, 2013, 05:16:50 PM

Thanks... I did that at least three times can could not get it right. Finally, I found how to get it as a torrent.

Surely downloading from the official source and opting out of the toolbars is much safer than downloading goodness-knows-what from some unofficial torrent.

On the homepage of Libre Office LibreOffice Download Page they have themselves provided links to download via torrent.

Sorry, the page you tried to visit was not found.

Yes, That is how I found a torrent thing. So I installed a torrent package I trust and did the torrent and got a clean copy of the LibreOffice Installer.

It was hard to find a decent download link. I tried several, they would either fail or push stuff I did not ask for. Yes, the pushed stuff with no opt-out options. Including one that started a registry scan, so it naiad, I had to stop it with brute force. This was on a recent install of XP.

I want to run certain software in vmware , need about 10-20 VIRTUAL pc
but currently i use 6 win xp in vmware with 128 ram and 1 core.
My pc Spec , Core 2 Quad Q6600 with 4 gb ram , and it takes 92% of my 4gb ram.
Is there any way to run that software with more ightweight OS ?
the closest example i can give is running ccleaner in 1 pc, and i want to run it in 10-20 pc 

I read VMWare SERVER , VMware vcenter , vsphere, but don't know how that works 
Hope someone understand this question  What is the host OS? 

Why do you need 6 win xp in VMware?   

How many VM (virtual machines) do you need, or think you need, to run at the same time?

What does the following sentence mean?:

I could be wrong but I believe you would need to install CCleaner, or any app, in each of the VM's.

What does the following sentence mean?:Do you mean your host OS, running alone, consumes 92% of memory?  4GB of RAM is a rather low amount of physical RAM for what you're trying to do.

If possible i need about 10-15 Win xp in vmware .

I've been having problems with Adobe for a while...the flash player wouldn't work and I couldn't watch videos, however when I downloaded FIREFOX again I was successfully ABLE to download flash player. Now I can watch videos, but still have other problems:  I can save documents as PDF, but when I try to open them it says "Paint cannot support file, not bitmap file,   format not CURRENTLY supported",  when I try to access Adobe or update it says, "feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is not available". Thanks for your help!

Also, I have a Dell studio laptop.You ALREADY have a thread running with Adobe problem? Please continue in the old thread.

Hello, I've been having more and more problems with my computer after downloading a Celtx software. I WENT through and finally DELETED it and a few other programs I figured I wouldn't need. That seemed to make my computer go a bit faster. Then I updated my mozilla firefox, and now when I attempt to watch any VIDEOS the screen says I need to update my adobe. So I do, and right after it says I have downloaded it I try to watch a video, and it still says I don't have the proper updates. I've had problems with my adobe program for over a year now. FIRST it wouldn't let me download pdf files, and now it won't let me watch videos. Also, when I try to make google my homepage it never saves the change, my mozilla fox will randomly close on me, and my computer will even fall into sleep mode as I'm working on it. Thank you for the help! I need it :/ Did you restart firefox after updating flash? Uninstall mozilla firefox and adobe flash player from add/remove programs (windows xp) / Programs and features (windows vista and above). Download fresh and latest copy of firefox and install. Then download fresh and latest copy of adobe flash and Install.
For your laptop sleep problems,
1) check the power settings in control panel if you have by mistake set your sleep options to 1min or less. Set to minimum 5minutes.
2) If the above option is all right, next time it goes in sleep mode when you are working, check if the power led is going off and coming slowly? That indicates if it is going in sleep mode or not. The point here is to check if it is going into sleep mode or is the screen going off / back lit off problem. Thanks, I will check these things out now. You said delete adobe flash player....so I can delete this and reinstall it for free?Thanks for the help! Your advice solved a lot of problems. I uninstalled Firefox, redownloaded it, and was successfully able to download adobe flash player! Now I can watch videos woo hoo! I checked the sleep mode option, and yes it was set to go into sleep mode after an hour. I changed it to "never". Thanks!Great. But did changing the power setting to never solved problem? If it was EARLIER set to 1 hour then it should not goto sleep while working!!Yes, I'm back because it's going to sleep again! What the heck, I don't know what to do....Also, I noticed flash playing saying it crashed and for a few minutes it wouldn't play videos but now it's working....I don't know if it will do this again.Oh my goodness as I was on here, my computer closed Firefox, logged out and shut down....is this a virus problem?I don't know why I assumed it was a laptop. My bad. Is it a laptop or desktop?You're right; it's a laptop.Ok, do you feel the bottom /base of the laptop is getting too much hot?? So much that it sometimes gets difficult to keep on your laps??
As far as virus is concerned you can download Malwarebytes Antimalware  install and run a full system scan.It does get quite hot, I actually always put it on the table or couch so it's not on my legs. As for antivirus, my grandmother just gave me Norton to download, so I will try that.It may be a good idea to state what "CeltX" app this was that was installed...I'm not sure which Celtx app was installed....I was advised to download any free one I could find and I did.
I just turned on my laptop to download the norton and very soon after turning it on heard this terrible noise from the fan location.....is it an old fan that needs to be replaced?Your laptop needs to be serviced from inside. I.e- to make it free of dust. The noise may be of hard dust particles stucked in fan or fan needs lubrication. Will you be able to take your laptop apart?Hello, yes I think I may need to have it serviced. I looked online how to clean my fan which I did the best I could. I also read things about lubrication and I have no idea how to do that...I'm thinking I may need a specialist aw man. After cleaning my fan I turned on the laptop and heard the noise again.

I use an Amazon-ec2 linux computer and I have just installed Apache and opened ports 80 and 443 in the security groups and started the server. but then whenever i go to connect to try to see whether it worked or not I can not connect at all (the server does not respond in time) and I double and triple checked my ports and they are fine so i am wondering if anyone can please help answer what I MIGHT be doing wrong. all the commands i used to install and set it up will be pasted below.
thank you

Can you view your web page locally through the apache service at 127.0.0.1? If you can not view it locally, then there is a problem with it and it may be in the httpd.conf or local firewall blocking etc. If you can view it locally through browser thru apache service to local, then it is either ISP blocking it or you need to set up your port forwarding to allow passthrough of specific port traffic to a specific IP in your router. If your port forwarding is not configured and enabled then your router will not allow access to the apache server system from other computers.I will try what you said to do as soon as Amazon Web Services stop giving me an error 400 BadRequest lol. I wonder if it is possible a problem with Amazons end of this (unfortunately i do not have a web browser on my Amazon Linux-AMI server and I do not have direct contact with the server since it is in the cloud.) thanks for the advice though I will still be changing the port numbers as soon as I can get on the AWS interface.

Can anyone tell me the software I need to buy so I can GO from Photoshop CS3 to CS6 ?   I have a Mac 10.6.8     .......( I don't want Creative Cloud)

Thanks,  Frank http://bit.ly/199sSrNI don't think disguised "Let me Google that for you" replies are the way to win yourself FRIENDS around here, Google. Or get you a rep as a serious helper.

Frankw, from looking at Adobe's upgrade chart, the only upgrade path to CS6 that qualifies for upgrade pricing is from either Photoshop CS5 or CS5 Extended.
