Hi There

I have just uninstalled Office 2010, when I thought it was Project Professional 2007.

I have the 2010 DVD but it will not re-install,either via start-run or add remove etc.

In my desperation I have tried "system restore" .

In case somebody asks does my drive work etc

Yes I can explore a dvd in the drive. ( D: )

I inserted a Nokia software disc, something that I new I COULD safely delete if it did decide to go on auto-run or extract itself etc etc.

First before inserting the disc I OPENED   Windows Explorer, then clicked on C:, this showed my VARIOUS drives below C: etc.

When I was happy I then inserted the disc, I heard it run up and at the same time I noticed the tree expand to now include the title of the disc.

One click on D: not only gave me the contents of the disc in the right hand pane but gave me the contents in the tree below D:

Can somebody please provide me with a link that will help me restore Office 2010 or give a fix that will allow me to run my DVD.

Yes I know what you are ALL saying what a "silly billy" or words to that effect, but I am sat here tearing my hair out, what little there is ! ! ! ! !

Yours frustrated

   Just to clarify, when you insert the Office 2010 disc, does the installer start?  Do any errors appear?

Also, have you tried double-clicking the "setup.exe" file on the disc? Quote from: Kip on March 27, 2012, 08:43:46 AM

Also, is this an original, retail copy of Office or a burned copy? And forgive a silly question, but have you tried rebooting and trying again?

Sounds like your DVD drive is getting ready to fail...

If you have 32 bit Windows installed you clik Setup and choose x86...

While I have been typing this it has not allowed me to either click or double click on any of these items, and the drive is still spinning.

Can you put a different disc in the drive just to verify that the drive is working?  You do not need to install anything, just see if the any of the files are accessible.

Would there be a program where i can put a photo into it and it recognises the photo.

The purpose is to get details of where is photo was taken and by whom.CSI Miami have got that program HARRY.

This would pretty much be magic rather than science. How do you expect any software to do that? Unless you mean extracting EXIF information. This is information ("tags") added to an image file by many cameras at the time of taking the picture or added later in a computer using software - time, date, make of camera, aperture, shutter speed, if flash was on, etc, etc, and in some cameras, GPS location information, and potentially much more. Often the photographer will add extra information such as title, name of photographer, notes, comments, all sorts of things. Is that what you meant? If so, there are dozens of programs that can do that, just Google for EXIF readers or tools. You are only going to get out what has been put there, no software can do magic tricks. Not every picture is going to have every possible EXIF tag filled.

harry,  I want  to assume that you have taken the following into consideration but i don't want to lose you as a valuable member of the CH forums where we must come to visit you in an institution of incarceration. But you do realize that simply posting a credit to an author of a picture (that is NOT of your creation) can result in bad things occurring. It is usually required to have written explicit approval for such a presentation from the creator. truenorth

it really was my attempt (maybe inadequately) to coat it in the sweetener of humour.

I have this project i am working on for myself and i was wondering...
i have a BAT file that opens the windows utility to create the EXE file

Code: [Select] ECHO off
start C:\Windows\System32\IEXPRESS.exe
exit
I was wondering if it is at all possible to include FOLDERS in the EXE extraction, or is there another utility that i should use to create EXE extracting programs??

Thanks. Yes, there is. Did you do a GOOGLE?
The link below is not well-written, but is a starter.

I have a PDF file on the Internet that I can not save to my hard drive. But I can print one page at a time. Use a free Print to PDF CONVERTER still only gives one single page at a time. The select pages option is grayed out.

Is thee a way to automatically print pages so that it WOULD be saved to files with consecutive numbers?


What web browser are you using?  What PDF reader do you have installed?  Do other multi-page PDFs on the Internet print OK, i.e., multiple pages from one print action?  I am using Firefox 11. My PDF reader is Foxit 5.0

The problem is only with one web site.The site is a bonus for a book I bought on Amazon. On the inside of the back of the book  an offer to use a web server that gives me free 45 day on-line version of the same boo. This would be good for me as I have trouble with low vision. The reader one the site is not the Foit reader and it would seem the format is not PDF, or maybe a special form of it.

Presently, I can print one page at a time. Or save one page at a time. The book is over 500 pages. I guess I could just take the next 45 days to save the whole book. On page at a time. Click, click click. Frolicked-click.

Any ideas?

I'm confused. Is this file related to the original post in some way? Is it the actual file that looks like that to you? (because it looks fine here).

If it is a post you couldn't be bothered to copy paste into a new thread which you couldn't be bothered to start... well, I haven't bothered to read it.

Not sure what you are trying to ask about losing access to the computer?


This is my mothers computer at the moment I'm using, since both of ours have been
messed up since this guy who did Remote Access, turned out to be not the Correct
guy we were trying to contact.
Someone pretending to be him. So, his account was hacked, which MADE it not be the
correct person.


Problem has been occuring since August of 2009, which is when the Remote Access
was done.
Yes, very slow to get all this resolved.


A brief description of things we understand about computers, to not waste any time
on things we already know how to do and stuff.
We understand difference between moving and copying things.
Like if you have a file in one folder, moving and copying are not the same thing.
I'll makeup some folder and file names to use for my examples on what we know
about.
Folder Names
1. Math
2. Science
3. Practice Documents


File
1. math.txt
If I have that file in the Practice Documents folder and want it to stay in that folder and
be in the Math folder too, then, I would select that file and then hit copy and then
find the Math folder, and hit paste, and it should now be in both.
If I don't want it in the Practice Documents folder anymore, and just in the Math folder,
I would select the file and then hit Move, and then find the Math folder, put it in there.


We also know about you can't have files that have the same name, or it will overwrite it.


Prior to the Remote Access, things that were working and are no LONGER working
properly on both computers, are Adobe Shockwave and Flash Player.
Again on my mom's at the moment, when we go to different sites that require it,
there is a message there saying 'This site requires Adobe?Flash?Player.'
Tried going to download it again, and failed. Gave us a version that is older than
the one we already have.
Also, Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.. All of those things not working right
anymore.
My High School Reuinon happened again, and prior to the Remote Access, the
reuinon we had, the forms we had to fill out worked just fine. But this time, the forms
were not working right. I couldn't fill them out. She sent them in 2 formats, which have to
do with software the Remote Access guy is for some reason telling me 1 of them don't work right
on Iphones, etc.. Don't know why he is telling us any of this. Like is he confused of something as to
what stuff we even have it almost seems.


About the only thing I'm trying to remember is, what exactly is it that is allowing things to link together?
Isn't it 1 of the symbols or punctuations that is allowing links to work? With all the stress and everything,
little things like that I just plain can't think of it anymore, and certain parts of my illness, which cause more stress
too, and I'm suppose to try to avoid, causes my mind to just go blank at times too.
So, trying to figure out, a way of getting the files back to my computer that belong on mine, that are now
on my mom's and off the internet too, and other files the guy linked together wrong.
Things start with a forward slash in some things. I guess is his method of doing something.


I did also just do some other searches around, and do think I maybe found some helpful stuff. A big list
Summary list of things that went on during the dates that the Remote Access was happening. Alot of functions
he tried to do, looks like failed and stuff, but some things look like he tried to even create a new directories,
and stuff and Uninstall certain things too. Not sure what Softwares and stuff he was using either. Since
he just says a bunch of very Vague thing about everything. Which yes, surprising thing is that he does admit that
in one of the messages he writes. Maybe he was having a guilty conscious.


Thanks for all the help everyone gives with things.

Today i needed to be able to access a .pdf file so as to be able to read and print it. When i tried to open the pdf file i was told i needed a software program to do so. A list of programs that could do so was presented.I did NOT realize that i already had Adobe Reader V9 installed (even had a desktop icon so named). However i went AHEAD and installed Adobe Reader v 10. Then i completed the task re the pdf file. Then became aware i had 2 shortcuts on the desktop for Adobe Reader. One for 9 and another for 10. Went to add/REMOVE programs to remove v 9. By the way the version 9 was really there. It does not appear in add/remove programs. Researching on-line it appears that this is a case where installing an upgrade version does not remove the old version.Apparently the method to use with this program is to manually remove the old (leaving none) and then install the new. How one could uninstall the old when it doesn't exist in add/remove and no propitiatory uninstall exists with the program is a mystery to me. Anyone experienced this and how was the old version removed? truenorth
P.S. As a sidebar why it did not see i already had v9 and told me i needed to download a pdf reader is a mystery as well.DLoad and give Foxit Reader a try...i'll bet you dump Adobe after that... Quote from: patio on March 13, 2012, 10:56:57 AM

  Evince is for a Linux OS.

I guess the only option is to uninstall the line items from the search as they clearly indicate Reader Ver.9

I need to run Artisoft Session/XL in a windows98 DOS window. When I try to load it, I get err 'your program caused divide overflow.'  however when I go into bios and disable mem cash level1 and 2 it runs, but the computer gets so slow that this is no good. I am logging into an old Novell 3.11 network to access session and other dos software. Everything used to work fine under dos 6.22 and 486 processors. How can I get around this issue?
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;en-us;q240982

Try that, yeah. This patch is for fox pro 2.6 ?!?
Ah, you're right. I was under the assumption it was an update for Windows 98 somehow.

Still, the problem is that the computer is too fast for the program. That may apply to your program as well. Did you try underclocking your hardware? Here is what I did: I moved the programs to the win98 computer and booted in dos "command prompt only". I ran "SXL get.job" and received this error "PROBLEM LOADING DRIVER, Your program caused a divide overflow error." Note that I can run this program without error if I enter BIOS and disable Mem cache level 1 and level 2. Doing this allowed SXL to load and execute, but slowed the subsiquent programs to the point that I found this computer still processing 12 hrs later. It usually takes 1 hr. I have the same problem loading Support.exe and the same change to BIOS allows it to load successfully. Interestingly "[LH] sapplica -x-a" works OK without changing the BIOS. This computer has an AMD-K6-2 processor at 450 MHz. However, I have the same conflict issues with cache memory on other processors.
 Did you try emulating it in DOSBox on a more modern machine? Yes. Tried DOSBOX and FreeDos on various computers. Also I've installed dos 6.22. In all cases I need to disable cache memory. But some systems go fast enough to be used although they run slow.And you tried to underclock your CPU to below 333MHz? I haven't done that. How do I do it?

Hi

Thought this would be the best forum to put this topic in...

I've been stalked trought the internet for over a week now and I was wondering if it is possible to find the IP-adress from a Windows Live account?
I know that you can find the X-Originating-IP in the source code but only when an e-mail from that person was sent to you.

And when I sent an (empty) e-mail to that person I can't see his IP but only mine..

Can somebody please help me and explain how I can find his IP-adress because that person is really bothering me.

Thanks!Why don't you report that person to your ISP and/or the police?
Salmon has given you excellent advice. Your intended route may only serve to accelerate the malfeasance of the perpetrator and cause you further and unpredictable grief. This is not the kind of issue to try and be the Sheriff. truenorthI am going to report this to the police but if there would be any chance I COULD find out who that person is, and I have that right, I would take it.
I wonder how the two of you would react if something LIKE this would happen to you..
You will not learn much from an IP addy...
Also due to Forum rules it's not the kind of advice we banty about...even though we probably know the answers.

Take Salmon's advice and move on... Quote from: Jasper91 on March 06, 2012, 02:55:59 PM

Ya think?

This is probably going to sound like a dumb question, but please bear in mind I'm a bit of a novice computer wise.
We currently have a laptop but are getting a newer one. We might get a notebook, we're not totally sure yet. But how do we get our Microsft Office software onto the new computer/notepad as we can't find the discs (plus a notepad doesn't have a disc drive just usb's), and don't know if we have the activation key?LibreOffice is a good alternative: https://www.libreoffice.org/The short answer is probably going to be "you can't".

The longer answer is that:

Microsoft Office is made so that you have to install it from disc. Computer makers often create a disk image for each model that they sell, containing the appropriate version of Windows, complete with any preloaded software sold as part of the deal, which they clone onto each new computer at the end of the assembly process. Recovery discs are included which can bring the machine back to as-sold condition. These can be purchased in the event of loss. They are not suitable for use on other machines, both for technical and legal reasons, as you will gather below.

If Microsoft Office was pre-loaded on the older machine in this way then there is no way that is is technically possible to transfer that installation to another machine.  Nor would it be legal (in TERMS of the licensing status of the Office installation) to do so, even if you could physically do it, which you can't.

If the MS Office package was supplied on disk with the older machine as an OEM version intended for use on that machine, then it is tied to that machine, and in fact may have a modified installation routine which will check for qualifying hardware (the machine that it is tied to). Even if it did not, it would be a violation of the Microsoft EULA (End User License Agreement) to perform such an installation, and quite possibly a subsequent Windows or MS Office update would invalidate the installation, preventing its further use.

If the MS Office package came as a "full retail" disc, then its licence would allow installation on one fixed (desktop) and one portable (laptop, notebook, netbook, etc) computer only, provided that the portable device is only used by the primary owner of the fixed one. You cannot install MS Office on two portable computers under one licence. To comply with the licence, you would have to uninstall the first portable installation of Office before proceeding with the second.

In any case, you do not have either disks or activation code. Your only legal (and technically feasible) solution will be to either purchase a new machine which has its own MS Office (preloaded or accompanying) or to pony up for a full retail MS Office install package.

Note: in UK English spelling, 'license' is the verb, and 'licence' the noun. In US spelling, it's 'license' for both.

I assumed we were allowed to put it on at least one other computer for personal use, but didn't know it couldn't be on two portable ones. News to me!

but Office is what I'm familiar with, so for the sake of speed (and my own laziness!) that's what I'm after.

I am looking for a good Backup Software - for a full backup.
I have 3 that i may decide on
1. Macrium Reflect (FREE/paid)
2. Acronic True Image 2012 (paid)
3. [email protected] (paid)
I am leaning toward Macrium Reflex is that a good backup software
All 3 do a Image backup
I just bought a Seagate Go Flex 1TG External HD. There is software included on external HD, but it doesn't do a full backup.
Seagate HDD's ship with Acronis...
Although Network and NAT imaging and scheduling are all disabled in that version it DOES do full backups...

If Free is an alternative then Macrium is a fine app for your needs.http://clonezilla.org/http://www.todo-backup.com/.   They have a free version and a paid version.  The free version is fine for home users.I used Acronis for years but with the newer versions it GOT way to un-user friendly. I didn't know where or what to click on anymore. I really hated to leave Acronis because i paid for it.  Plus too many of my back up images were coming up no good after verifying with upgraded versions. Lost lots of data. I switch to Paragon. Been using it now for over 2 years. I regularly back up my drives and customer's drives. Not one problem. I would bet my life on Paragon.

Just last month I had to restore two customers HD's from backup images and Paragon CAME through with flying colors.

Here is the free version
http://www.paragon-software.com/home/br-free/download.html

They also have a free partition program. I carry both on my flash drive.Acronis true image is excellent, you will need to buy the full version to gain all the benefits.
How much do you value your data? Seagate HDD’s come with the free version called “DiscWizard” and while it is less functional than a full copy of Acronis, it does work for a full C:/ disc image so will keep your OS intact for re installation. Both also include a boot disc maker.
Personally, I have used Acronis TI and have no complaints. It will log all your back ups and verify them either when made or before use. You can mount the images and select individual files and folders to copy and restore. There are a few good tools in the program and it is very stable. I have the full version and it is worth the money, there are free back up software's, but, well they are free!! Acronis also has the very useful continuous backup facility and the usual choices of differential and incremental. There is a sector by sector option, but this takes more HDD space than an image.
Part of a truly safe back up system is the use of RAID, this can be a costly option in both striping and mirroring with the additional hard drives required. The answer to your question is based on value of data, for simple back ups software gives reasonable protection on its own, RAID volumes do enhance this.

I just bought a Seagate Go Flex 1TG External HD. There is software included on external HD, but it doesn't do a full backup.

How can that be? Did he buy it used?

i have no idea on how to control the fan with speedfan when i go to configure i see the chips HD0, temp1 and CORE when i go to fans its emty
when igo to advanced i see only temperature 1 offset in all chips, an values are numbers HOPE i learn
If you can't control your fan, your fan might not be controllable.

Why would you want to, any way? It's a laptop, it REGULATES itself. You can probably set it to a different profile in the BIOS but if you can't; leave it alone. if i dont do any thing it will speed up its self... when it is VERY HOT Quote from: computer 12 on March 10, 2012, 01:36:28 AM

As far as I know, Windows doesn't have such a thing inherently but is there any software / utility that would enable me to create symbolic links in Windows?

My C drive is currently almost full on my Windows 7 and it's a PAIN to clean it. I tried many ways but failed to do it efficiently. They either didn't help much or the drive was filled up again within a few weeks - my C drive is a solid state disk and you know it's small.

I'm wondering if I can create symbolic links in Windows so as to move monster folders from C drive to other drives that are on SATA disk which are much much more spacious? You get the idea. Just leave the symbolic links in C drive but move the actual content to other drives...

OTHERWISE I'd have to buy a larger solid state disk to REPLACE my current ONE. It costs money and time.

Thanks for your help!You can use the MKLINK command line utility, included in Win7. This needs to be run in an elevated console. Type MKLINK /? for the syntax.Thanks oldun! This is so nice of Windows. Never knew that. I'll give it a try and let you know.

So say if I want to completely move C:\mydir to E:\mydir, I would:

1. Copy C:\mydir to E:\mydir
2. Open CMD command line window and go to C:\
3. "mklink /H C:\mydir E:\mydir"

Is this correct?I don't believe that you can create a link to an existing file or directory. You would therefore need to create the link before placing files in the link location.
There are numerous examples of using MKLINK on the web. This is just one of them:
http://ipggi.wordpress.com/2009/09/07/windows-file-junctions-symbolic-links-and-hard-links/
Or you could use the JUNCTION utility from SysInternals.

I have enabled them in the ease of access centre and the icon SHOWS up in the taskbar  but i cannot get them to work.

 (I THINK they are meant to work on the top row of numbers on a laptop instead of on a numeric keypad, if not please tell me)

But all of my keys work as normal. The Fn key makes no difference to this.


Laptop: HP G62-b30SA, Win 7.

Any ideas how to get them working ? Check if you have press Function and NUMLOCK(Fn + NumLk) to TURN on. I think its the numeric keypad. The ease of access center will tell you if its numeric or top when you turn on mouse keys. Adjust pointer speed and ACCELERATION to max when enabling this feature.

Any good information where I can DOWNLOAD WAZE on my PC?

Every place I looked on the net yielded a TYPICAL redirect to parasite websites that HOARD the program and trojan or MISDIRECT from to simply get it for my PC .

Hi -
I hope this is the right place for this question.  I am running Vista Home Basic and have a HP Deskjet F340 printer.  When I press the scan button nothing happens.  The manual says that the HP Photosmart Software must be installed and running.  I have HP Photosmart Essential listed twice in the "All Programs" list.  I assume this is the same as HP Photosmart Software.  I can not figure out how to make sure it is running.  The manual also says to make sure that the HP Digital Imaging Monitor icon is in the Windows system tray.  It is.  In fact there are two of them.
What I have tried.  I tried to delete all HP programs but could not.  I then reinstalled the HP printer programs and that seemed to work.  However, At the last step I got a pop down panel which said:
     TrayApp
     The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.     
     
     Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package "TrayApp.msi" in
     the box below.



Since I am not on a network, I clicked on "Cancel".
Any help will be appreciated.    Bob

Thanks for your reply.  I am not very smart about computers so the answer did not help me.  I could not follow the instructions as I could not get the correct things to come up on my computer.  I will just forget trying to scan anything.  I have had this computer for 5 years and I have never needed to scan anything so I guess I have not missed much.  Thanks again.  BobI think you should remove all HP printer software and reinstall from the CD ...Bobh,

You're welcome.  Raptor is correct, by the way.  Instructions for HP's software program removal were also included in that link I sent you toward the bottom of the page.

However, you stated...and I quote:

I went to "start" then to "control Panel" then to "Programs and Features" which I opened.  This gave me a "Uninstall or change a program" page.   The first program listed for HP was "HP Customer Participation program 8.0". When I tried to delete it nothing happened.  Seems like HP was forcing me to participate wheather I wanted to or not.  Since I could not get rid of the first one I did not try any other HP program.
I tried to use HP's forum, which was hard to use, but never got an answer.
Thanks for your interest in my problem.    Bob

Raptor -
I don't know what I did wrong.  I ran the tool you gave me.  I ran it to level 4 and rebooted as instructed.  I then looked at the  "programs and Features" and there were the HP programs.  I had not reinstalled the software as the tool said I would have to.  It is things like that which makes me want to toss this thing out the window.   Thanks    Bob

I have an old MP4 video file from YEARS ago that I want to play in Windows Media (or anything similar that will play, really).

I've SEEN a few conversion TOOLS ONLINE, but, everything seems "shady" to me, personally, when I Google them - being a rookie at this, I thought I'd ask the pros!   

Thanks for any help!For one thing, Windows Media Player just does not play everything. In fact a lot of things do not play on the WMP. No matter how hard your try.

Have you tried other media players?

Here is just one of many free media players.
http://download.cnet.com/GOM-Media-Player/3000-13632_4-10551786.html
I have used this for years. Converts about anything. Quick Media Converterhttp://www.videolan.org/vlc/features.html

Free, open source and completely safe. Superior to Windows Media Player and any other player out there that I've used.
Plays MP4. Windows media player can play mp4s. If you can't play it, you may just need to get the codec. Try the K-lite codec pack. http://www.filehippo.com/download_klite_codec_pack/

For converting files, try Format FACTORY. It's free. Try TotalVideoConverter. It will do the JOB easily.

i cannot run my minecraft-server.jar (or come to think of it, any .jar file)
this is the error that appears

Recently, I noticed that the same programs (NIGHTLY and Utorrent) ask for the same update over and over again, for example
I get a message for Nightly about anew version, I approve, also I give PERMISSION to connect this program to the internet or whatever crap windows tells me to do, and the next time I turn on my PC, it's the same process all over again. like I didn't update at all.
My windows Firewall is off btw.
I guess this will happen now with any program wanting to update..

can anyone help me SOLVE this? I'm a noob at this stuff.You could always go to the program's website and download and install the latest version...Yes, but there might be a problem with my PC.. so I'm worried uTorrent does the same to me. No idea why it keeps happening. Too lazy to check for the reason.For Firefox/Nightly/Minefield/etc, if you install more than one (say, Nightly and "standard" firefox they will overwrite each others settings. So when you start Firefox it will see that the last version to start was nightly, and was later than it's version, go "ok, good, I don't have to check for UPDATES". Then it will save it's version. When you start nightly, it sees the older version and goes "ah! they must have just installed me, so I better check for an update!" And it goes about the update check.

Don't know about uTorrent though. I myself disabled uTorrent's updating for reasons I've forgotten but am not curious to remember.

Dear Experts,
                   I have bought Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 and want to play but it says that I do not have common.ff FILE in zone folder. When I checked I found that I had common_mp.ff, but not common.ff. I have searched the web for this particular file for no RESULTS. Guys, I need you to PLEASE upload this file to mediafire or some other such site and give me the link so that I can download heard that its not more than 30 mb so pleaaaaaaaaaaase do so. I will personally thank the person who does this. Only place i've SEEN this is with "ahem" versions of the game...
Where was it purchased ? ?
Just download it from a better source.  Good one...i DOWNLOADED it i agree, but i paid for the download.I'd suggest getting a refund them...and ordering the CD's.you're right thnx

Which operating system do you use in it?

Hi All, I found Windows Defender as a FREEWARE. Can you recommend this free software to your BUSINESS clients that needs anti-spyware for production servers (Windows Server 2003)?

Any thoughts and recommendations?There are many better alternatives to Windows Defender/M$ Security Essentials:
http://www.virusbtn.com/vb100/index
Avira Free and AVG are two examples of free antivirus systems that have a higher proactive and reactive detection rate than WinDefender. But I don't know how easy or convenient it would be to DEPLOY such programs on a large scale...I'm not a fan. I always found Defender to be a resource hog and not as good as MalwareBytes or SUPER ANTISPYWARE.

I have win7 home premiume 64 bit on my Desktop and it has iE9 and it is good.
My laptop has win7. Home with iE8 and I WANT to install iE9 on my laptop.

So I whent inbto ad remove programs to un install iE8. but I did not see it in there.

So when I install iE9 what will happen I don't want both versons? Quote

On Installing IE9 your Internet Explorer  8 version will be upgraded to IE9 and IE9 will be installed as an update rather than as program hence it will not appear in programs list under Programs and Features.

So I whent inbto ad remove programs to un install iE8. but I did not see it in there.

So when I install iE9 what will happen I don't want both versions?

When you install IE9, it will replace IE8.   You will not end up with both versions.     

Disagree...both will still be there...however i have no clue why he would worry about this...

I don't remember putting any passwords at all on this machine during installation of my windows 7 home premium.  I'm thinking this might be a default password.  Any ideas? It's the first timer I've tried it.Just press Enter if there is no password.Tried that, it keeps repeating, "enter password".  Tel me again how to tell if I'm LOGGED on as administrator or not?http://support.microsoft.com/kb/321305I forgot to mention I'm running Windows 7.http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-to-do-if-you-forget-your-Windows-passwordThanks, so I find I am an administrator, but with no passsword, and I don't want to SET one up.  So what's with the windows recovery console password?  It wasn't this way in XP.Sorry - just dawned on me we're talking about a recovery console and W7. There is no recovery console in W7. What EXACTLY are you trying to do?A Sharpie install is what i suspect...It looks like I got recovery cosole and restore mixed up.  I was actually thinking of RESTORING to a previous point and was going to do it with recovery.  It is labled Windows XP recovery console.Who set up this PC ? ?

Hello I am currently using cardminder for a user working here and  I want to export to Outlook but I dont want the data in the default Contacts folder, I want the data in a special Contacts folder.  I am not sure if outlook has its own IMPORT options or if its a setting in Cardminder. If anyone knows Cardminder really well pleaselet me know if there are other options hidden somewhere or if it is something I have to configure in outlook. I TRIED moving the folders in outlook up, making new folders and what not but it is sitll the same. It keeps exporting to that default Contacts folder.

Can you export Cardminder contacts to a CSV (Coma SEPARATED Values) file, or some other common file format?  I believe that should be the FIRST step.  Then, create a folder in Outlook; this would be a sub-folder under Contacts.  Then, import the file you exported from Cardminder into the special folder in Outlook. 

PLEASE your version Outlook in your next reply.

Is there an application that will allow me to compare the SIZE and amount of files in two different folders for Windows 7? I need to find out what files are MISSING in one folder WITHOUT checking them MANUALLY. It does not have to replace them for me.

I made a sequence of 300+ PNGs with Google SketchUp and the great PLUGIN SketchyPhysics.
I want to convert it to an AVI or WMV format video so I can edit it with Movie Maker.

I have spent hours upon hours Googling, downloaded and uninstalled several programs due to errors, horrible quality, and other problems.

Does anyone have any idea how I can convert my animation to a decent video format?http://support.google.com/sketchup/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=114335



You can also use VirtualDub to take the PNGs you already have and turn them into a movie
http://www.cmiss.org/cmgui/wiki/CreatingAnAVIFromASeriesOfImagesWindows  That doesn't work with SketchyPhysics, a plugin.
However, I will try VirtualDub and get back to you if it works. Thanks.The time to edit is past, so I have to make a new post.

It works great, except for one thing:
The image was slanted 45 degrees, looking totally weird.
I would post a screenshot (believe me, I tried), but my computer is being very moronic today and doesn't like me.

...sometimes my computer SCARES me.

...or maybe it's tinypic that is omitting part of the image.

I'm USING my old computer today, maybe when I'm on my better one tomorrow I can get it to work.

I used to get slanted output all the time.. Its usually in B&W too. The fix is to make sure that your output file is in a multiple of 16.. ie, 720x304, 720x320, 720x336..etc

hi there, can anyone help me how to record session in my computer? or any software can recommend me to use to record.
for example im watching video or movies in my computer and i want to record it with sound to play it again later.. The most piratical way is to use an eternal VCR device.
A software only solution n requires lots of CPU power. Unless you are wiling to accept a low-quality recording.
Withe a DESKTOP computer you can install a hard ware device to CAPTURE video. But the good ones a pricy. For the same money you can buy a VCR. About $200.
The best free solution I'd recommend is http://camstudio.org/ it does decent quality and isn't too resource intensive. As FAR as recording a whole video I'm not sure how a 2hr movie would handle since this program is saving to an AVI FILE. Usually, there are better ways of saving a video though instead of copying what's being shown on your desktop to a video. Of course you need to also remember copyright laws, if you're copying a full copyrighted video regardless of how you do it, it's considered illegal.If you are referring to capturing a video stream from the Internet there is software out there that can do that but like our Forum admin said that would be illegal depending on the circumstance.
http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.htmlWith the right video card, you can output to a really nice video recorder, either DVD, VHS or both.

I just bought a nice Toshiba, VHS/DVD COMBO drive from "ComputerGeeks.com" for less than $120.
Besides being able to record TV programs to either VHS Tape or DVD disks, I can also copy my old VHS tapes
to DVD's for permanent storage.  (tape gets brittle with age,, while DVD's will last a lot longer)

Many inexpensive video cards have composite video or 'S-Video' outputs.  If S-Video is used, you'll also
have to patch the audio output to your recorder, as S-Video has no sound component to it.

I plan on doing some PC recording to my old Toshiba DVD recorder.  It's much more practical than trying to
record a program from the internet internally as a video file.  DVD recorders are meant for that, and PC's
are not.  Once I've recorded a program from my PC to a DVD, I can then play back the DVD on my big TV.

Cheers Mates!

I downloaded Windows Server 2008 from the MSDN website for school. It is an ISO file which I use CD burner XP to burn it to a DVD. When I try to install the software I get an error message that are missing files. My instructor said I need to burn it at a LOWER speed. I don't have any options for the burn speed. Is there better software to burn an ISO file at a lower speed?I never heard of any such thing. Either the image burns or it doesn't. Try using this app to burn: http://www.freeisoburner.com/A higher writing speed will result in a faster disc burn, but the optical quality may be lower (less reflective). If the reflectivity is too low to be accurately read when the CD or DVD is played back, the error rate may be too high for the reading drive to correct. With an audio disk this can result in unwanted effects: e.g. clicks and squealing sounds. With a video DVD there could be image breakup or freezing. However with a data disk every BIT matters and the result can be an unusable disk. The usual advice is "For optimal results burn at the media's rated speed.". Personally even though my DVD burner is rated at 16x I burn stuff that matters at 8x.

Guys i've installed compiz on my ubuntu 10.04 ... Then i've uninstalled it from ubuntu software centre.. but even after uninstalling it i can see the effects.. how can i completely uninstall the compiz.......
If you don't like compiz, why did you install it?
If your intent was to just TEST it, you should had done the test after a b backup.
Alternately, you could have started a new INSTANCE of Ubuntu as a 'Live' CD and tested it there.
You should UNDERSTAND the utility you are testing modifies Gnome. You need to go back to Gnome classic.

ok i was using java and as many before me it started eating my cpu... i tied everything i could think of and everything forums tell me to do including UN-installing and re-installing again repeatedly i use c.cleaner regularly and also have revo uninstaller... i havn't got a clue whats making it max out my and have no traces of java on my pc before i try to re-install.    one DAY it was fine the next it was crap... and just to add FFS java is the only progrm that i have heared of that does the job it does and yet so many ppl have problems with it using too much cpu sort it out.

please help and please don't post you got the same thing cuz it's help i want not knowing more ppl have tht problemI took the liberty of removing a DOZEN of your exclamation points...

CARRY on...Hi Dazon,
The problem may not be with Java... it sounds like you're overclocking. What make is your computer system, what is it's age, what OS are you currently using, what version of Java did you grab from Open Source, and what development environment (compiler, builder, and runtime environment) are you using? If you have an older computer, you may lack space on your HD or enough RAM. If using a tower, you can easily add CPU and RAM, but they need to be added together to speed up your computer, ADDING one without the other will not do much of anything- make sure that you are grounded during repairs, don't bend the pins on the CPU, and careful doing anything with the BIOS. You could also add a new magnetic HD. Disk space also helps. I prefer Netbeans over Eclipse and build in Java 7. I have a Mac IOS Lion 10.7.2, but through my Virtual Box, can also access GNU/Linux, Solaris, Ubantu, Unix, and Microsoft- sounds like you may have Microsoft, and are using Textpad- which is a large, inflexible, CPU eating, proprietary OS that lacks scalability. If your time and date are also wonky, check your battery. Increased voltage in CPUs increases heat in the unit. If using a laptop try buying a stand to keep it cool and elevated. If you have a tower, make sure that the back is not against the wall, and the front is not blocked or obstructed by books or other things on your desk. Fans and proper ventilation keep computers cool. If your computer is freezing up, it is probably due to your CPU being overheated because you are over clocking. Wow...

I had Microsoft Office 2010 installed onto my laptop when I was working for a Company 2 years ago.
I have now left this Company and for some reason it is now telling me that the product activation code is invalid.
How can I find the activation code (I am not able to contact the Company anymore).
I do have the same version running on a desktop.
Is it possible to extract the code from this version?
If not then how can I find an activation code?

Many Thanks

I want to install a custom font to my school laptop for a project. i considered going to the Tech Guy but, erm, we aren't on the friendliest of terms(he wiped my hard drive twice in one week) so my only real OPTION is to go around the server. i am unable to use applications and cant just PASTE the fonts into the Font Folder, don't know why.
Windows 7
232Gib hard drive
nothing in control panel

Any HELP would be greatly appreciatedWe cannot ASSIST overriding any Admin at a school or WORKPLACE...sorry.
You should work on patching up the terms you are on with him...

It seems that there is some issue with the motherboard of my Dell INSPIRON 1520 , when I connect the power adapter to it , the Led light goes off and it never turns on

tried power RESET , reset the rams

Any SUGGESTION would be very helpfull !!!Why do you think it is the motherboard?
What else happens?
Does it work on battery?
If it it does not work on battery only, consider this suggestio.: Some Dell models will work without the battery. Mine will. If your laptop works normally with the power adapter on but the battery removed, then the battery is failing or is dead.Is this a REPLACEMENT adapter ? ?

The Acrobat 9.0 did not work after I remove/uninstall some of the components that was previously installed with the Adobe CS4.
Every time I launch Acrobat, it runs the Windows Installer instead, and end up with an error:

Error 1402. Could not open key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\OptionalComponent\MSFS.
Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel.

I try to uninstall it (from Add/Remove Program, and also launch the installation CD), but it ends up with error and is terminated.



This is one of the problems with Suite styles of software apps....when one component is removed for whatever reason other components may not run properly.
Many times removing it will leave behind remnants that will not cooperate with a re-install of that component such as dead end registry entries which it sounds like above...
You could try Revo uninstaller on the Acrobat component to SEE if it'll clean it out enough so it works....barring that you're probably looking at a complete re-install of the Adobe Suite PACKAGE...Hi Patio.

Acrobat 9.0 is not listed in Revo Uninstaller Pro.

Before this I've tried Perfect Uninstaller v6.3.3.9 but the free trial version won't complete the uninstallation unless registered.

I've also tried the Uninstall Tool by CrystalIDEA but it ended up at the same registry error.
Then my last option is what you may have to do...I've tried that. I'm able to uninstall all other component, left only the *censored* Acrobat.
I've also used the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool from Adobe itself to clean any possible leftover.

Problem is, when I insert the disc and start the suite installation, the Acrobat component is greyed out i.e. it's identified as installed  How did you do the uninstall ? ?
I believe it has it's own uninstaller from the Start.Programs menu...I run the setup from the disc, it lets me choose which component to uninstall, so I select all (included Acrobat), but at the end I get error uninstalling Acrobat.

There is no individual uninstaller for each component.Is it safe if I just delete all Acrobat related folder and also registry entries, and try to reinstall?

I'm afraid it may mess up things further.Use the CS4 uninstaller from the Programs menu as suggested...
Then re-boot and re-install CS4..There is no uninstaller from the Program menu.
I can only uninstall it from Control Panel or run the disk, which the result has been mentioned above.Now I try to install a trial version of Acrobat X DOWNLOADED from Adobe, and it also get stuck at the same point (no access permission to the above registry key)Adobe CS4 Forums

Seems there are  some similar issues there... Quote from: patio on February 03, 2012, 05:59:19 AM

I checked my temp files and there is an entry under PHP error log that OCCURS every few minutes.

This is the latest ONE......

[12-Feb-2012 16:47:58] PHP FATAL error:  Call to undefined function GETTEXT() in C:\Program Files\Marvell\raid\mru\sendMailNotify.php on line 17

Can anyone please explain what this means and how can I correct it, if it needs correcting?

Thanks

Is there any software, PREFERABLY freeware, that can capture browser clicks and capture the data from a particular page?I'm guessing that, by "capture browser clicks", you mean automatically open all hyperlinks on any given page to other pages.  Is that right?  And, by "capture the data from a particular page", do you mean save the whole page or some portion of the content on a page?  If the latter, then how would any such software know what part of a page you would want it to capture?   

I'm wondering, what is your objective here?  Can you shed some light on that? Quote from: et_phonehome_2 on February 13, 2012, 06:10:33 AM

What is your OS?? If you have W7, go to search, type PSR. ,click on PSR, a small pop up will appear. Click start recording. Every thing you do after that will be recorded. It will then go to a zip file. You can open it and view every  thing. You can even view it as a slide show!
It's a really cool feature of W7.
