Solve : HTPRO32 and cracks??

Answer»

Hi, I have an antique HTML editing program (HTPRO32) from about the 1980's, but I LOVE it. I understand that it's freeware now, and wanted to help my friend get a copy.
Surfing the net brought me to a "Crack" site. Does "crack" mean bootleg?
Any idea of a safe place to go to get this program as freeware?
THANK YOU!Yes - crack means bootleg.Thanks!  I will avoid those sites.
So any suggestions of a proper place to go to get legitimate copies of old HTPRO32?
(I think that it was featured in the Lascaux caves back in my day. . . hard to get primitive SIMPLE software these days!)I'm moving this to software as I think it would receive better attention there. Quote from: leslieed on February 09, 2012, 09:02:54 AM

[...] from about the 1980's

Really? I doubt that. There wan't a WORLD Wide Web in the 1980s. The first publicly available description of HTML was a document called "HTML Tags", first mentioned on the Internet by Berners-Lee in late 1991. "HTML 2.0", the first HTML specification intended to be treated as a standard was released in late 1995.

ANYHOW I think you meant HTMLed by Internet Software Technologies. (HTPRO32 is the name of one of the executables). There were paid for and shareware versions in the mid 1990s but the publisher's website has long gone. Crack sites often exist to plant malware on your computer. We cannot advise using them.

 


On that note explain what your editing needs/skills are and perhaps we can suggest a Free solution... Quote from: leslieed on February 09, 2012, 09:02:54 AM
I understand that it's freeware now

Just wondering: where did you hear that?I've had a pretty good look around - I imagine you'd need to be looking on old FTP archive sties to get a copy these days.  The only download I've been able to find is here: HTMLed PRO 3.0.6.Numerous freeware HTML editors are available.  One is KompoZer.  For more, see http://webdesign.about.com/od/windowshtmleditors/tp/free-windows-editors.htm

Solve : Want program manuals?

Answer»

Hi -
I am running Vista Home Basic   35 bit.  I have 28 programs listed.  I don't know much about computers, but would like to learn what each programs does.  Is there a book or manual that will tell me what each program is for and if I don't want to use it can I delete it without effecting any of the other programs?    Thanks    BobHi -
I should have put this in Computer Software.  Sorry   Please move it for me.    BobVista 35 bit?
Use a search engine to get some info on your programs.  In some cases, the software developer's website will surely have some info, perhaps including an online user manual in PDF format. The 35 bit is unheard of. He must have meant 36 bit.

36-Bit Computers from Digital Equipment Corporation

DEC's 36-bit systems were designed for large-scale scientific and engineering computing, but were successful in the commercial arena as well. The large address space was deliberately designed with artificial intelligence research in mind, and the ability to FIT two addresses into a single word greatly SIMPLIFIED the implementation of the Lisp programming language most common in that field. The 36-bit family was cancelled in MAY 1983 along with the project which attempted to build a follow-on processor ("Jupiter," KC-10, DECSYSTEM-4050). By this time, the customer base was strong enough that Digital was forced to continue hardware development until 1988 and software development on the operating systems and user programs until 1993.
  I was just wondering, Anybody here would like to start a 36 bit club here on CH? Those of us who have a 36 bit system could exchange notes.   Why...it was phased out in 1983...Hi -
I meant 32 bit.  Sometimes my memory is not good!!!

Exactly what programs are you looking at? Is this a clean installation of Windows?Full documentation for many popular programs is available over the Internet. Some are in PDF that can be printed ans a nice document that can be put in a binder.

MS Vista is so extensive, it is better to just read an introductory guide. Like this one:
Getting started with Windows Vista

Microsoft Word and Excel have built-in help guides. A suitable tutorial can be found here:

Geek-9pm
Thanks for your in for.  I may check them out but I think I have what I need right now.

I used "search" and found what I wanted.  There were several programs that I will never use so I deleted them.  I just like to keep things as clean as possible.  For example I will never store pictures so I deleted "Windows Photo Gallery".
Thanks for your help.     BobAw, I dislike being ignored.

Oh well. Out.Raptor -
Sorry   I was busy with suggestions I had not gotten to your reply.  I really appreciate all replies as I learn from them.
In fact what little I know about computers I have learned from this forum.
To CLARIFY!  As I said I have programs listed that I don't know what they do.   It seems to me that if I got rid of these programs I there would be more usable space someplace in the computer.  I don't need extra space for what I use the computer but I just like to keep things as clean as possible.  I deleted 6 programs so far and everything seems OK.
Thank you for your responding.    Bob Quote

Thanks for your reply but you are getting me in deeper than I want to be.  I have gotten the infro I wanted at this time.

Solve : tutorial on how to start KILLCMOS.COM at reboot using USB stick?

Answer»

Tutorial request for starting up KILLCOMS.COM at start-up using USB stick.
A step-by-step tutorial would be greatly appreciated.Is this homework?I just need it to reset the BIOS of my HP 530 I had bought the other day in a garage sale.

Tried asking the original owner what the password word was  but he forgot it.

I tried removing the cmos battery, tried a bunch backdoor password, nothing worked.

Im just a noob hoping to get some assistance.

In order to re-set a BIOS password on any laptop you need to take it to a service center...in this case HP and have them do it...
Be prepared to show proof of ownership.

PS...KillCMOS ain't gonna work. Quote from: patio on February 08, 2012, 07:59:18 PM

I agree. Still, that FREEWARE program has been updated and the author now makes this unverified claim:
Quote
If you have forgotten your CMOS password--there's no longer a need to worry! As long as you are able to boot from the floppy KILLCMOS will remove the password.
NOTE: If you're running anti-virus software, it may detect a Trojan virus in the killcmos file. This is a mistake. There is NO virus in this file.
Do not USE it The claim made above is either bogus oar deliberately misleading. A sure sign of a con artist at work.In any case, should we be publishing advice on how to circumvent security and anti-theft measures? I've lost count of the "kids changed my cmos password" or "garage sale" type stories I've seen on here.

Mind you, on HP's own forum are detailed instructions on how to either remove the password or reset the CMOS or do both.

Answer»

XYplorer is a tabbed file manager for Windows. It features a powerful   file search, a versatile preview, a highly customizable INTERFACE,   optional dual pane, and a large ARRAY of unique ways to efficiently   automate frequently recurring tasks.

I've used XYplorer in the past (before I decided to GO with Directory Opus) and I highly recommend it as a replacement for Windows Explorer. Once installed you can use it instead of Windows Explorer or as a once in a while replacement - the original Windows Explorer will always be available to you if you PREFER it.

Solve : bluetooth not working?

Answer»

Hi guys.
Im using Windows 7 64bit Ultimate.
 I recently installed bluesoleil software, but decided to go back to previous configuration, and now my bluetooth not ACCEPTING conections or finding any devices via bluetooth, (when i press ''show bluetooth devices'', window is just REFRESHING slowly and at the end nothing happens. I've tryed removing drivers cleaning register, re-pluging bluetooth dongle, restarting... after that windows automaticly find and installs bluetooth drivers, but no devices are found. My htc desire phone says that there are no bluetooth object push services on my PC, Unified remote on windows startup gives me a message that no bluetooth stack is found... any advice please? Thank you.What bluetooth device are you using?  Built-in?  Bluesoleil software is issued and crytographically locked to particular hardware, so you can't just install it; you have to use whatever software came with the bluetooth device you're using.

Note that when I say "bluetooth device" here, I'm talking about the computer hardware, not a phone or anything else you're trying to connect.

Have you tried using Windows "System Restore" to go back to a point when everything was working?

XP: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306084

I might try to reinstall all the motherboard drivers cd, and see if that helps.I SUSPECT they are not 64bit drivers...therefore it's not gonna work properly...

Are you actually "copying" or scanning?  I suspect you mean scanning.  Copying normally means making a paper copy of an original document.  Scanning is what creates an image on the hard drive of the original document. Your right Soybean.i was scanning. i have done it before on my old printer (also a Brother) and they always went into my pictures .but if i remember rightly,
something came up on the bottom of the page asking where i wanted to put them.ie emails /ocr or others but that hasn't happend this time.
so what do you think.It means they are landing in the last location you saved something to...

Do a scan and save it and note what location opens...

You could also so a search by the file extension..... *.*+.exe is the wildcard search.I have a Brother printer.  It's about 2 years old.  The Brother software for my printer, by default, puts scanned documents in C:\Users\username\Pictures\ControlCenter3\Scan.  So, you MIGHT try navigating folders on your computer and see whether your scanned images may be going to the same location; substitute your actual username for username in the location path I posted.

Or, just try a search as patio suggested. Soybean...i have just noticed in Win7 that when i go to save a file the default is wherever i saved something last...no matter the file extension...PERHAPS it's the new default setting.
Just a heads up,,,Thanks to all of you.  Patio/soybean/jason2074. tried another scan and there they where .(i dont actually know where.) it said something like pictures central 3.
so i just transfered them to my pictures.ill' just have to keep practising.

Solve : Hotmail plus questions.?

Answer»

I'm THINKING about doing this because I want an easy way at home to download and keep emails on my computer.  I don't plan on giving this email address out because I'm afraid of spam and getting mail I don't want.  I plan to forward mail to this from other accounts that I want to keep.  What do you think?  Also, importantly, I want to be able to download the emails and save them in a format that I won't have any problems viewing.  For example, I get an email from JCPenny (for example), and it has all kinds of graphics and different fonts, will I be able to download that email and view it.  Along with simple emails that are simple text friends?  I've tried the POP thing and cannot get it to work and want to download email like I mentioned before as easily as it is to upload photos to Photobucket. 

Another big question about Hotmail, will I have to download anything onto my computer to do this.  Or will it be the opposite, so to speak, of uploading to Photobucket.  I just CHOOSE the path or place to put the documents and there they go?  Most e-mails services will let you auto-forward all mail to another e-mail address. For example, my Hotmail account will forward everything over to my yahoo account, if that is what I specify in the options.
Many users still prefer POP over web-mail. The right e-mail program will let you save the e-mail with all the graphics, if you want.

Outlook Express is free.  Outlook is not.  You need to make the distinction.  Also, Outlook Express does not work with Windows Vista, your OS.  Windows Vista comes with Windows Mail which is similar to Outlook Express.  Quote from: Doug on January 29, 2012, 12:26:06 PM
I scanned that page and saw Opera
You saw Opera where?  Was it an advertisement on http://www.gmx.com/?  How does Opera relate to your Hotmail question?   Soybean, the link in the second reply has a list of programs to use for email.  Opera was on the list and I decided to try it.  I want a program that will collect all my email and give me the option to easily download to keep. 

Ah, I see.  Yes, I've given Opera's embedded email client a TEST drive and find it a worthy competitor in the email client arena.  And, I like Opera as a browser.

Solve : please help, i need copy protection for software?

Answer»

Hello people,

I have created a game for windows7 platform and want to put it on the internet and on cd for a small fee. I don't have any experience with this, and i was wondering if anyone KNOWS a good copy protection mechanism which i can use.
I already found a few anti copy protection mechanisms, does anyone know these systems, or maybe do you know a better system instead?
- lockPE doesnt seem to work for me because it causes errors when I try the program
- the tool from logicprotect.com is way too expensive, i need something familair, but cheaper.
- exesecure.com offers an exesecure tool which SEEMS to fit my needs but i cannot find anything about it on the web, has anyone used exesecure ?

Please let me know which mechanism you use if you ever did, I WOULD like to have some tips.
Copy protection is only a problem for those who do not want to download the game illegally. I don't agree upon this, because it is a small game not a super widely used one or so. I just want some kind of barrier.Have you determined YET that this is a game people will pay for ? ?
Do you have a link so we can chack it out ? ?no not yet, i'm sorry i don't want to publish it yet without protection.Why don't you ask an indy game developer what they use? If they even want to divulge such information. Very few indy developers seem to use copy protection, any way.

Solve : Auto run-install box doesn't come up.?

I'm trying to install Serif Web plus X4 on my Computer. I cannot get the install program, to START!!! The box doesn't come up, clicking manually on the setup .exe.. or install.msi.. NEITHER works. I get a well known to Serif it seems error. They have a "hack line" you supposedly can paste into the command prompt, to get it to run, but on MINE, it does not work, already tried....however,when i insert the disc inthe other computer.... it WILL begin to install, just as it should! !!  Both are Windows 7... Mine is 32 bit Home Premium.. Hers 64 Bit Home Premium. What is wrong here?? What am i missing?

By the way.. OTHER programs install fine... MSI seems to work on those... it's just THIS ONE that has issues now... Quote from: Hankster58 on January 12, 2012, 11:40:24 PM

I get a well known to Serif it seems error.

What is the error?"Windows Installer returned 1619" that is from a manually click on the file "Setup.exe" attempt... or....."This installation package COULD not be opened. Contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid windows installer package."

I did some "tweaking" a while back.. disabling some non used "services" etc, to speed windows up.... now, I wonder, if Serif, for whatever reason, requires something NO ONE ELSE uses....  any thoughts? No other program has done this upon install before on this machine.

What DOES happen, when I insert the disk.. is the AUTO PLAY box comes up... as if Its a MOVIE, or a photo disc, or do I want to download images from a disc or camera etc.... it's like it can't see, it's a PROGRAM  to install!!

ok. load disc, then go to computer, d drive, contents.. click on install.msi.... acts like it is going to install, then SERIF install box comes up and says "this action is not supported, please use Setup.exe to begin installation. so, you do that.... dvd drive and hd buzz a  lot, then finally you get the  "This installation package could not bla bla bla message......  I'm stumped.Reset, every services.msc setting to default.. no joy....Have you tried right click, run as administrator?

There are more people with the same problem? Windows Installer Error 1619 translates to "The Installer Package could not be opened".

This could mean that there is a problem with the disc, the file on the disc itself is corrupt...  or it could also  mean the installer is a web-installer and it is seeking ADDITIONAL content online and is being silently blocked by a firewall.Troubleshooting - Install fails with "Windows Installer returned 1619", or "This installation package could not be opened", or "Runtime Error"

Solve : Newly installed hardrive - now I can't download - Help??

Answer»

Hi everyone!

My Dell Insperon with Windows Home Premium crashed.  I took it in to be fixed.  They
said I needed a new hard drive.  When I got it BACK, I found it's a hardrive from year 2002!

I've fixed loads of PROBLEMS, but I absolutely can't download ANYTHING.  When it DOES
download it says:  C:\users\jstauffer\desktop in Properties.

I tried to delete this user "jstauffer" but he's not on as a user! He's nowhere to be found

Additionally, I get a very strange download box. It's attached. 


Thanks for any help,  Pennie77

[year+ old attachment deleted by ADMIN]No need to start another Topic...there are replies in your other one.Penny77, did you get any ANSWERS to this?  I've been getting the exact same message whenever I try to open a document.  I'm also having a hard time accessing emails over the last few days, since I started getting this download message.  I'm thinking I picked up something, even tho I have Norton running.

Solve : IGoogle problem?

Answer»

About 15 months ago my cousin requested my assistance in choosing a laptop COMPUTER. He eventually selected a respectable HP model from a well known high street retailer.
I discovered some time later that when ever he uses the ‘Google’ web site he always gets ‘IGOOGLE’ instead. I know he is not competent enough to set up an igoogle account as he is barely aware of what google is about and he is the only one who has access to the laptop. I THEREFORE am becoming suspicious that the new laptop is not as new as we first thought.

My question to anyone is can the igoogle be changed back to the classic google?
I have tried several attempts by, ironically using a google search myself but no joys as yet. Many well-wishers have suggested selecting the ‘Classic Google’ option within the options / tools headings, but I cannot find any such option. Also attempts to alter the URL to just google.co.uk or google.com also fails miserably. Just to be clear, this is not a home page issue, just an ad-hoc use of the google web site.

Is there buried somewhere within the laptop a folder with some igoogle data or could it be something google have control of on their servers?
Igoogle is just Google's new interface for the search machine. It's got a DASHBOARD, search machine is still the same.

Thanks Raptor, I must admit up until recently I was unaware of igoogle's existance, but it is really a preference rather than a fault and it may be a bit misleading on my part by describing it as a problem.

It just irritates me that simple something like this, is so difficult to change.

What's even worse, it just automatically logs you in if you're a gmail user and TOLD it to remember your password. It also seems to log you in automatically for rating content of websites. I haven't quite figured out how that works yet. And I'm not going to either, don't see the use of letting Google know my every move.

Personally, I ditched Google for the most part. TRY using http://www.ixquick.com. It's a little less powerful but at least they respect your privacy and offer encrypted search by default. Quote from: Raptor on January 23, 2012, 03:54:33 AM
Igoogle is just Google's new interface for the search machine.

Quote
What is iGoogle?
iGoogle is a customizable homepage

iGoogle lets you create a personalized homepage that contains a Google search box at the top, and your choice of any number of gadgets below.

iGoogle is something you can choose to use or not. You don't have to use it or even have it; you can just use Classic Google.

If you have registered for iGoogle you can navigate to it using the url: http://www.google.com/ig and if you make it your home page it will come up when you hit the home button. However if you want to use regular Google service just use url: http://www.google.com without the /ig suffix.



As I mentioned in the original post, I've tried changing the URL without the /ig suffix but it does not work. I can't find the option to change back to classic google either.

This leads me to believe that something more deep inside the laptop is involved here. My cousin and myself never set the 'IGOOGLE' up in the first place (we are the only two who have touched the machine). Therefore someone must have had this laptop before. Perhaps someone who had opened an account with Google, but did not close it when the laptop was released from their possesion. I'm guessing, but I'm hoping someone might be able to identify a hidden file/folder which might contain data which can be deleted. Here's hoping.

Solve : Problem with McAfee?

Answer»

So, I was just browsing facebook when I started doing something away from the computer. When I came back and refreshed, it suddenly told me

Blocked by URL Filter Database
Your requested URL has been blocked by the URL Filter database module of McAfee Web GATEWAY. The URL is listed in categories that are not allowed by your administrator at this time.
URL: http://de-de.facebook.com/
URL Categories: Social Networking
Reputation: Minimal Risk
Media Type:
Rule Name: BLOCK URLs Whose Category Is in Category BlockList

and

For assistance, please contact your system administrator. 


That would be no problem at all, if there weren't a few PROBLEMS with that.

1. I don't have McAfee installed. I searched with the Microsoft search, I looked through my programs in the system control - nada.
2. I AM the system admin. I owned this PC for a few years now, always been the admin. My anti virus program is Avira. The computer had McAfee pre-installed, but I uninstalled it right after I installed Avira a few years ago.
3. It mainly blocks social networking sites like tumblr, facebook and twitter, but also the McAfee site. What.
4. It's only "installed" on Firefox. I tried accessing tumblr with IE (yes I still have it installed ugh) and it works just fine.

So. Help? Disable Avira and scan your PC with Microsoft Security Essentials, see what turns up.Thanks, I will, as SOON as Avira finished checking for viruses (which will take a while longer...)

Solve : WMP, Adobe Flash Player, Adobe PDF Viewer won't install.?

Answer»

I can't figure this out, if I click on an Adobe installer for pdf or flash, or windows media player nothing happens. If I click the quick start icon, the icon is HIGHLIGHTED for maybe three seconds and then is no longer highlighted. Upon looking at the task manager, I see the process being started and then disappearing from the list. It stays in the task manager for the same duration as the quick start icon is highlighted. I'm running windows 7.

There is no error message thus making this really confusing. How do I fix this?
what browser are you using? truenorthI USE firefox.Also, I just realized that the installer (Adobe Flash player/PDF viewer) is completely removed after starting it. I'm running McAfee as well.These "INSTALLATIONS"you are desiring are they due to an advisory appearing offering an update or is it an initiative you have decided to do? I am wondering if your security levels either in windows or McAfee are at a level that is preventing this. Are you able to download any updates  or other software? Have you tried to attempt doing any of these updates from safe mode? Is this a new issue that might be related to something else you did recently? I would not want you to be accessing the internet to download anything without a virus protection program running (just occurred to me is it possible  that you have more than one virus software running at the same TIME), However if you want to try  to see if McAfee is involved you could download one of the free ones (Avira/Avast/AVG) and once downloaded install it and disable McAfee to see if things change re the updates. truenorthThe installations are an initiative on my behalf. I can download other software, but I can't install adobe flash player or pdf viewer nor run WMP. I will attempt to run the installation in safe mode. I have no malware showing in any of my scans as well.

Edit: There isn't much of a difference in safe mode. The adobe flash player installer shows up in services, but never appears; and WMP doesn't show up at all.The adobe flash player installer process now stays in the task manager list, but it still doesn't ever show. Quote

I use firefox.
Can you check first while FF browser is open... Go to Tools - Add-ons and click Plugins. Do you see any Shockwave Flash(version) installed? Meanwhile, try downloading Foxit PDF Reader.Yes, I do have a Shockwave Flash installed. Also, I'm currently using PDFLite as an alternative. It's the Flash Player that poses the BIGGEST problem for me. Quote from: pblackii on January 21, 2012, 05:26:28 PM
Also, I just realized that the installer (Adobe Flash player/PDF viewer) is completely removed after starting it. I'm running McAfee as well.

They are supposed to. Fun little feature isn't, it?

Disable McAfee for a moment and install Microsoft Security Essentials, let that do a full scan.

If you want an alternative to Adobe Reader, use Evince. Quote
It's the Flash Player that poses the biggest problem for me.

Solve : The summary on MP3 Files - Does it matter??

Answer»

You know how MP3 files have a summary section that can show the album, artist, track number, and things LIKE that? In windows (what I have) it will show it under the file name.

See the ATTACHMENT for a screenshot of what I'm talking about.

I'm WONDERING if any of that matters for itunes. Some of the mp3 files themselves don't have the album or artist filled in for the summary, even THOUGH in the iTunes library it's just as it should be. Like in that screenshot-- A couple of those files don't have the artist or album name under it, but in my iTunes those files are under the artist and in the album just like the rest. 

Does this mean iTunes doesn't even use those summaries?

[year+ old attachment deleted by admin]iTunes uses ID3 tags but it also has it's own information in those tags that wouldn't be displayed by the file properties (which only shows "standard" ID3 tags). Also, I would guess it might also infer the album and artist from it's folder location.

Solve : Laptop wont boot F8?

Answer»

hello,
Im trying to get my laptop (Dell) to reformat back to factory settings and to do that i need to access the advanced boot menu or  (f8) however ive restarded multiple times and it refuses to go into advance boot menu.
thanks for reading hope to hear back.Can you get into the BIOS and change the boot sequence there / tried a USB keyboard?

Alan <>Try removing the HDD with both the power and battery removed...and replace it.
Wait 5 minutes and see if Bios sees the HDD...it may have failed completely.I cant really get it apart, laptops arent meant to be taken apart lol. The PC works when started normally so the HDD is working. i just cant see in in MS CONFIG.

In the BIOS it does recognize the HDD but all i can do for boot options is make it first. i need to get to the advanced boot menu.

Please let me know if i misunderstood PART of your postIt might be a SATA drive. Some BIOS' aren't CAPABLE of reading these in Vista-era laptops and you'll need special drivers for WINDOWS to see 'm.

You should use your recovery CDs if the built-in recovery software fails. Quote

Im trying to get my laptop (Dell) to reformat back to factory settings and to do that i need to access the advanced boot menu
Please post the computer laptop model. Some laptops can access recovery utility within windows. model is DELL  "studio 1537"The Dell Studio model is only configured to restore via the pre startup of windows. Have you tried rapidly tapping F8 on first powering up? Check disk management if the recovery partition is present and check the status. You may need to create recovery CDs as suggested if everything fails.Ok so i got into the advance boot menu and i click repair PC. It asks me to to login and only shows one window. this is labeled other user and thats all there is i dont know what to type in...ive tried leaving it blank and typing admin and nothing..

Also a additional problem is now every time it boots normally it takes me into safe mode...

is my HDD bad?Try REBOOTING...when you arrive at that screen hit Enter...any Luck ? ?unfortunatly no luck. when i press enter it brings up the log in screen prompting username and passwhen i try my user name it gives me a error message saying "the specific domain either does not exist or could not be contacted"Start up a Ubuntu live CD and head over to disk management. You'll know soon enough if your hard drive is bad.I tried Ubuntu and it reads my HDD so i think that is ok

Solve : Frequent Java error?

Answer»

I regularly help out on a community-powered-support for mojang site and this error keeps coming up for different people. None of us know what to make of it we have them reinstall java, update their graphics drivers, make sure they have the appropriate Java for their OS, delete and reinstall the game, make exceptions in their firewall for both the game and Java and do the same for their antivirus programs. Since we more or less covered all of the bases for frequent fixes I have come to the conclusion that this is either a coding error in minecraft's code or an error within Java that only effects certain people.

We check their computer specs and make sure they are optimal for the game. The weirdest part of it is some people will have the same computer with the same specs and only one of them has the error. I figured since none of us know how to code in java and can't make heads or tails of it then it couldn't hurt to see if anyone here might have any ideas to shed some light on the situation.

The error itself is an access violation in the VM:

Quote
EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005)
That is, it's unrelated to the actual Java bytecode being run, and no exception is thrown. Possibly a bug in java itself, or, more likely, a error that occured as a result of a JNI call (to OpenGL by lwjgl)

Most likely a race condition involving jwlgl, the Graphics Drivers, and the settings chosen for the game via a tool like NVidia control panel or Catalyst Control Center:

Quote
J org.lwjgl.opengl.GL11.nglTranslatef(FFFJ)V
J org.lwjgl.opengl.GL11.glTranslatef(FFF)V
The two functions on the stack support this; they are both within lwjgl and they are both Native calls to the systems OpenGL IMPLEMENTATION. The glTranslatef() function probably has logic that calls a separate native API as needed based on the installed Graphics card. In this case, an Nvidia card, which results in a call to nglTranslatef() which crashes within the user-mode portion of the OpenGL library.

Possible cause: a DLL that injects itself into every application:

A search reveals  that almost every posted log for java game crashes I can find that have the same error (access violation) have this tool installed (Dell Quickset), far too frequently to be a coincidence. It might be worth taking note of how many others that have this issue seem to have it as well.Thanks a lot for your reply. I will look in to the few other errors I have access to for the Dell issue. If it is somehow a graphics card incompatibility issue that would explain why I have gotten one our two of these solved by having them switch to on board graphics. The problem is very few people seem to have a separate on board graphics card or chipset. When it's a graphics issue it usually says "bad drivers this can usually be fixed by updating your graphics drivers" but I think this only occurs when they don't support the type of openGL minecraft is using.

It's just been very annoying when everytime someone comes on with this error we more or less have to tell them their minecraft has cancer.

It used to be set to "Experienced" but then it got reset at some point when the forum changed, and I haven't bothered to change it again. It's become somewhat meaningless, because it doesn't really say how much experience the person has but rather how much experience they think they have, which can sometimes be quite different.Good point man. I put down familiar because I know most of the jargon and can do basic repairs. I HARDLY consider myself the person to come to for advice if it's not basic repairs or errors. Thanks again for your reply now I have to try and figure out a solution for the problem. I think the info you gave should help me figure one out. If it is graphic card related do you think there is a work around or do they just need a new card. ?

Solve : Photoshop CS5 Heats Up My System?

Answer»

I've recently upgraded from CS4 to CS5.

While it's normal that the CPU heats up while doing graphic processing, on the previous CS4, it'll cool down as soon as I relaunch the PROGRAM.

However, now with CS5, even after I quit the program, the CPU stay hot and never cool down.
I'll have to restart my computer in order to have a normal temperature.If you are using a desktop computer open up the case and clean the fans/heatsinks with compressed air.If you continue having issues with heat after CLEANING the system, look into upgrading your cpu cooler or system fans.Also make sure thermal paste is applied properly so as to maximize heat transfer between the CPU and the heatsink:
http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/How-To-Correctly-Apply-Thermal-Grease/274  I don't think this is a HEATING issue.

I have both CS4 and CS5 installed, and if I use CS4, there is no PROBLEM.
But if I use CS5, the problem occurs.

If it's an overheating issue, it should happens to CS4 or other applications too.

The fact is, as long as I don't run CS5, no matter how long the computer has been in use, there will not be any problem.Before you assume it's not a heat issue DLoad and run SpeedFan...
Report both readings...Running CS4...and then CS5
It can be minimized to the tray for taking these readings...use both apps approx 10 minutes each.Tried upgrading CS5? Maybe it's a known bug.try this:

I use both Asus Ai Booster and SpeedFan, both give me similar readings.

At idle (fresh restart), CPU temperature ~55-60 deg C.

Using CS4 to do photo batch processing (10pcs), the temperature would eventually goes up to ~85 deg C. Exit CS4 and it goes down to ~65 deg C.

Using CS5 to do photo batch processing (10pcs), the temperature would eventually goes up to ~90 deg C. Exit CS5 and it maintains at ~85 deg C.

Solve : Word opens a blank document when I click on a saved file??

Answer»

Dear Forum,

I don't know what started this, but lately I have to search for the DOCUMENT and open it after opening a file that is SUPPOSED to be saved. Word opens with a blank gray screen, then I have to manually open the document. Thanks for any insights!

Mike
 Try this link.Thanks Jason; but it doesn't seem to apply to Word. The same THING happens in Excel, though. I went to it, and tried to follow the instructions, but each function that they referred to was grayed out.

One thing: I just did a reinstall of MS Office after wiping my hard drive to eliminate a bad virus. It was doing this just before the wipe, too though.

Is there a MS free support for this?

Sincerely,
MikeWe'll never know if your PC is CLEAN. Maybe you should head to the Viruses and Spyware section for a couple of logs NEEDED. Other than that, you might need to run a diagnostic tool to check on the Hard drive and use the Checkdisk Utility.

Solve : Cursor behaving differently in word document?

Answer»

I'm using my daughter's laptop with a Windows 7 Home Premium OS.  I started a Word document (Word 2000) and am using bullet points with numbers for each new bullet.  If I use the arrow key and click on the downward arrow to go to the next line, the cursor goes exactly one line down DIRECTLY below where it was. It does not go one one line down to the space after the last character on the lower line.  So essentially the cursor just hangs in the middle of the line and then I have to backspace to get the cursor to the proper position to continue the sentence instead of it going there automatically. 

I opened a new document and the cursor behaves correctly.  Is there a way to reset the cursor's behavior on the current document?just use the {home} or {END} key to NAVIGATE to beginning or end of lineSounds like the line-height was misconfigured somehow. I don't use Microsoft Office so I wouldn't know where to change that but it's probably in the FONT options somewhere.

Solve : IDVR4000 video surveillance does not send email?

Answer»

I really don't know where to post this, IDVR4000 is software that runs my 8 ch video capture card, the software seems to work properly except for the sending of email alerts when motion is recorded by the card.

I have been trying to solve this for a few days and no luck so far, if anyone knows anything or somewhere that I can get assistance I would appreciate it.

The card and software come from China, they have a website with the latest drivers, software but not much else.  The quality is very good considering the card and Sony with 600 TVl cost about $160 CD

Thanks for any help

God bless
JimSo how does it not send email? Are you perhaps trying to use an SMTP server that doesn't function with the current modem? Get any errors?The PC I have the surveillance software and capture card is running XP Pro, the email program on XP is Outlook Express 6 with all the latest updates.  I can send email without any problem using OE6, the IDVR4000 software is configured with the same info that is used in Outlook Express, I have searche everywhere within the software to see if I forgot to configure anything but can't find anything wrong.   The image from the camera can be viewed on the internet with other computers in our home.  The alarm is being triggered according to the data kept in the software files.  Thanks for taking the time to ask, please give any ADVICE that I can try.

Could you check your provider's spam folder? Or turn off the spam filter if it doesn't have a trap and then try again.I use Mailwasher Pro as a spam filter and there isn't one item in the spam bin nor any marked as spam.

I have been trying and asking for advice  and have come to the conclusion that this is not the best DVR software, I would like to know if I can use other surveillance software with my card, IDVR4000 sold by www.goldvision.com.cn
or if SOMEONE has a suggestion for software, software and card,  8 Channel capture for PC

Thanks

That is not the same as your ISP's spam folder. You need to check both.

You could try this: http://www.zoneminder.com/I never ever saw my ISP's spam folder, I wouldn't know where to look, I use Outlook Express for email and Rogers is my ISP, I am not aware of any spam folder.

I don't know what zoneminder is but I'll look it up with Google.

Thanks for any help, I am thinking of scraping the whole mess and starting fresh, I read that the card needs specific software so I guess my card is a waste of time since it doesn't do what I want.

From what I read IP systems are the way to go, but what puzzles me is how do you connect 8 CAMERAS to a computer, you must need some type of DVR with 8 INPUTS, I have tried several times buying junk, X-10 and cards from China, I guess you get what you pay for.  Feel free to make suggestions.

Again Thanks

Solve : MS Communicator Conversation Not Showing Time?

I just upgraded MS Communicator 2007 to 2007 R2.

For the old 2007 version:
In the conversation SCREENS, for each message I received or replied back, the time that the message was sent was DISPLAYED next to the person's name.  This is nice so I know how long ago a message was sent to me.

Here's what it used to look like:
Doe, John‎‎ [7:10 AM]:
 Thanks.

For the new 2007 R2 version:
In the same conversation screens, I don't see the time next to the sender anymore.  I looked all over the place trying to find an option to turn the time on but nothing.

Solve : Office Communicator How To Send Messages to History On Demand?

Answer»

I am currently using Office Communicator 2007 R2.

I have TURNED on the option to SAVE instant MESSAGE conversations in the Outlook Conversation History Folder.
The problem is I have to wait for the message to say "message saved" before I can close out the conversation screen.  If I close the screen out before I see that message, then nothing is saved.

From time to time I need to shut down my PC or shut down Outlook, I can't do that until I see "the message saved" message or I will lose the conversations.

Is there anyway I can force a message to be saved in the Outlook Conversation History Folder without waiting?No, not easily.  But why? Many users leave the computer unattended.

But you could set your PC or laptop to go into hibernation after being inactive for 10 minutes. Amusing  it does not take 10 minutes, just walk away from your machine.

Is there a security issue about LEAVING your computer on? There is a option to lock the keyboard while you are away.


That's what I normally do.  However, from time to time, Communicator will act up and not automatically save some messages to Outlook.  At first I thought I haven't waited LONG enough but after waiting a few hours, I knew it wasn't going to save.  This only happened once in awhile so I just ignored the problem.

I just upgraded to 2007 R2 and now the problem is most of the messages are not saved automatically after waiting a few hours.   Only a few are saved automatically.  I need to somehow get these messages saved.

Any suggestions?

Solve : 32 Bit program help?

Answer»

When you have a 32 Bit CPU the CPU can only see about 2. GB of memory.
And if you have win xp 32 Bit it will only see around 2. GB of memory.

Now I have an AMD 64 Bit CPU and win 7. 64 Bit but I use CorelDraw 11 and it is a 32 Bit program.

So am I right that my program is only going to give 32 Bits of Data to the CPU at a time to process?

And my CorelDraw 11. will only be ABLE to acsess 2. GB of memory?The limit is 4GB for 32bit.

Your program will run in 32bit emulation MODE. So there are no benefits to running a 32bit program on a 64bit program as far as I know. Or care about, really. It should run just fine.All programs have access to however much ram the system makes available. If the system and OS are both 64 bit and let's say there are 8Gb ram installed, all apps will have access to all of that ram.Than you and as far as win xp 32 Bit when I had it I had 4. GB of memory but it only saw and used 3. GB.

I GOT win 7. 65 Bit and it sees all 4. GB of memory.

So what did you meem a 32 Bit program will see 4. GB of memory?

Thanks32 sees approx 3.3 to 3.75 G of RAM... Quote from: nymph4 on January 13, 2012, 10:09:28 AM

I got win 7. 65 Bit

That extra bit...

In 64 bit Windows, 32 bit apps run under an emulation layer called Windows-On-Windows 64 (WOW64). WOW64 provides 32-bit applications with access to some features of 64-bit systems. For example, applications can have more memory up to 4GB if they were compiled with the correct setting*. Other features are more limited due to overheads and restrictions. 64-bit Windows will support logical 64 processors but 32-bit applications are restricted to the usual 32 logical processors.

*see here...
Quote
If the application has the IMAGE_FILE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE flag set in the image header, each 32-bit application receives 4 GB of virtual address space in the WOW64 environment. If the IMAGE_FILE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE flag is not set, each 32-bit application receives 2 GB of virtual address space in the WOW64 environment.

Yes if "around" 3 GB means "2 GB if flag not set, 4 GB if flag set".
The me getting win 7. 64 Bit and having 64 Bit memory meens nothing.

See Here...don't know where you are getting the 2G # from///unless 1 of your RAM stiks is bad...Microsoft's done it again! Your post to me above says 32 Bit sees 2. GB? Quote from: nymph4 on January 14, 2012, 03:15:35 PM
Because all my programs are 32 Bit and even though I have 4. GB of memory in my system my programs will only see and use 2. GB of it.

Solve : Excel Help Needed!!!?

Answer»

Hi can anyone help me?

I have a spreadsheet with two tabs

first spreadsheet has:

column A = Date
column B = list of shop names (dropdown list)
column c = has Items purchased

second tab sheet has

column A = List of shop names
Column B = I want to have the purchase costs of against that particular shop?


can this be done? I thought I could put a formula of vlookup or something like that to pull the total purchase against that shop NAME for the month
 I don't know how to make column B on the second sheet do what you want.  So, I will mention the Subtotals function as a way to extract the data you want for each shop.  If you're unfamiliar with Subtotals, this reference may help: Calculating subtotals and working with levels in ExcelHi


thanks for you reply - I am unable to add subtotals into the below first sheet, as I will not know how many stores will be purchased from each day?. I wanted to have a grand total amount for eg. accessorize for the month to be pulled into the second sheet.  (is it possible???)

EXAMPLE FIRST SHEETS DATA

JANUARY   HOURS   CLIENT      ITEM(S) PURCHASED   STORE           COST     OTHER RETAILERS VISITED
1st   3   Miss Smith   Boots                                 ALDO           £50.00   Dune
   1.5         Scarf/Hat/Gloves                  Accessorize       £75.00   Tie Rack
                  
2nd   1.5   Mrs Jones      Dress/Bag                  Accessorize       £375.0            Coast
2nd   2   Mrs Brown      Bracelet/Necklace/Ring         Pandora           £500.00   Swag
2nd   1         SHOES                                 Kurt Geiger       £110.00


EXAMPLE SECOND SHEET

Store 2012   Jan   FEB   Mar     etc
Accessorize   £?      
Aldo         
Art & Amber         
Bare Nacessities         
Barrats         
Base         
Birthdays         
ect   
                  
   
If I were working with that data, I would definitely use Access database, not Excel.  I don't know how you can do this in Excel.  With Access, you can create and save a report and/or query to extract the data you want for each store and EASILY generate a report or query anytime. ok, many thanks for your help. I have a go in Ascess = first time for everything!!!   What version of Office do you have?

Solve : Does BIOS recognize an external CD-ROM/DVD-RW drive for boot??

Answer»

I PURCHASED a package of various parts to build a new desktop PC from scratch, as well as a Windows 7 64-bit DVD. All was presumably well, until I REALIZED that the hardware package did not include a CD-ROM/DVD drive of any sort.

That's not necessarily a problem, because I have an external USB CD/DVD-RW drive. However, I do not know if BIOS will recognize an external disc drive connected via USB in order to install Windows. The items have not arrived yet, but I'd like to GET this issue out of the way first.

I realize that BIOS version may be a make-or-break factor. The computer's motherboard will be a ASUS Sabertooth 990FX with UEFI BIOS. I can PROVIDE additional information if needed, but that's all that I know of that would be relevant.

Thanks for any replies!It should be able to boot from USB devices if it was made in the past 4 years or so.There may be a SETTING in bios that needs to be toggled (ie, something like "enable usb at boot")Definitely made in the past 4 years, so this is great news. Thank you very much, both of you!

Solve : AVS help?

Answer»

I have an Aluratek HD Cinecam.  I extracted the video clips from it and they COME in the extension *.MOV.  They are fairly choppy when watching them using any program like VLC or QuickTime.  I'm trying to convert the *.mov file to anything like an AVI or mpeg...i select the file I want called AMBA0005.MOV "input File name", which is only 34 seconds long, I select the "to AVI" also TRIED "to MP4"....save the output file to the desktop just naming it "123".  And I press convert.  It seems like its doing something.... I press advanced while its trying to convert...and the window says "The preview is unavailable.  The program is preparing the data for CONVERSION".  Below this it says, Elapsed time which is currently at 34 minutes and counting.  should it take this long to convert  a 34 second clip?? Under the Remaining Time section its completely blank "Remaining: --;--;--".  What am i doing wrong??

Solve : Need help with using Open Office 3 'spreadsheet application'?

Answer»

Okay, I admit I am not program savy. However, I am honestly trying and keep hitting a brick wall. I have entered text/data into cells and have DONE some basic formatting of these cells. I now want to go to row#23-28 and merge all ROWS and columns a-d in order to allow me to input data in a free flow without any lines/border between them or any preset text WRAPPING that may hide info. In other words pretend I have just INSERTED a text box that allows me to place text without the defaulted or preformatted settings of tabs, indents, etc....

While I am asking, any knowledge on how to turn off/deselect permanently (or at least for the entire document I am currently working on) hyperlink so that I can type in a website without it TURNING blue and trying to take me to the internet within the cells all the time. This is driving me crazy!

Any suggestions are greatly appreciatedTry this out....

Solve : New malware tricks users into thinking hard drive failure is imminent?

Answer»

Malware distributed as UltraDefragger and SystemRecovery attempts to ensnare unwary users by displaying sensational and frightening alerts. A new twist: falsely notifying users that a hard drive is about to fail. Designed to trick users into purchasing an application to fix the non-existent "problems" that were detected. This malware goes beyond mere alerts, however. It moves files from All Users and the current Windows user’s profile into a temporary location, making it appear as though problems with the hard drive are CAUSING files to disappear. It also disables a user’s ability to change wallpaper images and sets registry keys to hide CERTAIN icons — giving the impression that programs are going MISSING as well.

I removed this malware scam from a friends computer last MONDAY. I used the info found in this link to do it.

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/remove-windows-recovery

There was no access to files, no START button, task bar or desktop files, but following the instructions from the link seemed to do the job. If anybody knows differently, please let me know.Thanks for the information.  I have seen this one as well.....took it off a friends computer. I can understand why a lot of people would get scared over it. If you didn't know it was fake you would be sure you needed a new drive.

Solve : Thunderbird issue?

Answer»

I have been using Thunderbird 3 for quite a while now and didn't have any issues. Yet recently somehow most of the time I can't access my emails nor from yahoo, gmail nor from my university email account anymore. When I press the "get mail" button I get the following error message: "Couldn't connect to mail server... connection was refused" same messages for all email accounts. Yet it does work sometimes which I FIND weird.

Is it firewall? Badly configured thunderbid (did it manually)? My router? What? If anyone had this issue or could pinpoint me I would greatly appreciate it. Thank youDo a CHKDSK
Run a virus scan.

Just go to http://get.adobe.com/reader/ and download it.  If you want to put it on a disk (CD/DVD) or flash drive so that you can INSTALL it on other COMPUTERS, just save it to your hard drive when you download it rather than IMMEDIATELY installing it.  Then, you can burn it to CD/DVD or put it on flash drive.  Does that answer your question?

Solve : outlook express error 0x800ccc0e and socket error 10013?

Answer»

I am sure this question has been asked but I am NEW and could not locate it.

I cannot send emails with outlook EXPRESS.  I get the socket error 10013 (although it changes, sometimes 10051 other times 10061) and error 0x800ccc0e.  I have spent an hour with my ISP who told me after much checking that the problem is not with them.  I also changed the "send" socket from 25 to 26 but made no difference.  Like my ISP said, it is not an ISP problem. I deleted my antivirus program and the problem remains.  From what I can gather from various sources, the problem is with the registry.  Can ANYONE help me or direct me to the topic?Before you do that, here is something less destructive.
Create a new user account. Reboot and log into new user. Now set up an email  for the new user.
Here are the instructions from Microsoft.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Windows-Mail-setting-up-an-account-from-start-to-finish

If the new user works fine, this means the OLD user account got corrupted.
If Geeks advice doesn't work, try another email source like gmail.  It's free and easy to set up.  That will help pin point the problem whether it's OE or some problem with your ISP.

The major difference between OE and an online email service like gmail is that with OE messages are stored on your hard drive and with an online email service messages are stored online.  There are advantages and disadvantages to both.

Solve : Dell Dimension 5150?

Answer»

I've just INHERITED a Dell 5150 and would like to see if it's usable before I dump any money into it, like more ram, a second HD.  Running windows home edition w/sp2. Upon startup the system will get going and get to the log in page, but it will not recognize the mouse (USB).  Unable to get any further.  I can use the F8 funtion and it seems to be working as it gives me the options and I can move the selections with the arrow keys.  I can start to boot in safe mode, but it returns to the log in screen as before. This machine had 2 drives, but one went sour and is gone, so am I right in assuming since I can get to the log in screen that the other one is ok?  What should I check next?Have you tried the mouse on different USB ports?  Take a look at Device Manager.  Does it show any yellow triangles containing an exclamation mark?   Does the Delll 5150 have a PS/2 port for a mouse? I am now able to boot using system menu and "booting from utility partion" Mouse/keyboard active but when I exit and restart, it goes back to the original situation.  I need to boot from the utility partion and get in to see what else MAY be going on.  how can I make this partition my main boot item?  May not be saying this right...Eh, I'm not sure I follow you.  Anybody else WANT to chime in?I am able to get the mouse and keyboard to work if, upon startup, I choose F12 which leads to the "boot device menu" then down to "boot to utility partition", apparently on the HD.  This leads to the "hardware device diagnostics" from which I can check all hardware on the machine, (all good).  When I leave here, it reboots to the same place I was, no mouse or keyboard.You could restore it to the "as shipped" configuration.  It doesn not appear to be updated since it's running SP2 not SP3.

As soon as I read this I backed off very quickly.  There hasn't been a registry "cleaner" or "system optimizr" or "defragmenter" recommended on CH FORUMS for some time, the general opinion is that you should stay away from them as if they spread the black plague.

Tell you what Mruniverce, you download/install the program which will give blistering-fast performance then run it and come back to us with your opinion and possible problems.
