I like to make videos to share with my FRIENDS on youtube, I want to make youtube videos with my pictures and songs, but UNTILL now, I can't find a good software can HELP me to deal this, welcome to recommand me some good program, thanks in advance. Initially it was my intention to give you a couple of direct links to sites i found on a google search that assisted with your request. Then as i perused the endless sites offering guidance (some very basic and general others much more technical) it occurred
 to me that this was something you actually NEED to do yourself. This is because not knowing your knowledge/equipment/and intentions for content/etc. my recommendations might FALL short of the mark if i tried to assume for you.So here is the search criteria that i used and if you do also i think you will find all the guidance you will need including youtube videos as to what is required.good luck,truenorth
"how to make your own youtube videos?"I've heard good things about http://animoto.com/

Hello, I have a toshiba laptop that runs windows 7. I recently downloaded a torrent of Mac OS X and they were dual booting. I wanted to get rid of the Mac OS so I deleted the partition that it was installed on but now, when I boot my machine up, it is unable to FIND either Win7 or OS X. Help would be greatly appreciated..Boot to your Win7DVD and choose the Repair option at the bottom...I don't currently have the disk :LYou'll need one sooner or later...sooner in this case.Okay, I ASKED a friend and he said that I could use his, do I have to use my own, and will this delete all my STUFF?Not if you do it properly...
The Win7 repair feature actually is PRETTY good...considering the MS alternatives in the past...
You should LOSE no data in the process...

Best of Luck and now would be an excellent time to learn about/practice a solid backup strategy...

hi. please help. i have several worksheets in one file(they are sign-up sheets for future events for our scout troop). how could i have all the troop members be able to view the worksheets, mark their chosen EVENT times and have it so that everyone can see what everyone else has marked on the sheets? we do not have a website. can i do this w/email? i have excel 2002. i do not speak 'computer'. i have not used forums before. do not know if this is the correct place for this question.  thank-you to anyone who can help. You could do it via email but I think it might be difficult to manage.  You would need to decide how to do that.  Would you send the file to everyone at the same time and then CONSOLIDATE the responses into one spreadsheet when you receive the replies?  Or, would you circulate one master file to one PERSON at a time?  I imaging the latter approach might DRAG on too long.

Google Docs may be a better solution. One component of Google Docs is their online spreadsheet.  Another option is Google Calendar.

I BOUGHT a NEW HARD drive, 4TB, and I need a software to help me extend system partition.

good news

the game won't run at anything higher than 60hz refresh rate in full screen - its not so much a technical issue, as it runs windowed at higher rates just fine...

is there such thing i can add to my wall like a clock that will count down for something?

like a gadget i can add to my screen?

i have ALREADY gadgets on my wall like a calender and a map, but i couldnt find a count down clock.

i have win 7.

also while im on this thread, i have this mini laptop samsung and i have heard i CANT change the wallpaper right?

when i right click there is no options to change it :-(

Thank you for your help and advices!!




First, after googling 'Desktop countdown clock' I found this

http://www.timeleft.info/desktop-countdown-clock.html

Second, either right click and choose 'personalise' or find an image you want, then right click it and 'set as desktop background'reddevilggg thanks REGARDING the clock thing

but i have this tiny samsung laptop and it doesnt have the personalis option and when i right click on pics it doesnt give me the option of 'set as desktop background'

so i dont know about this one
Is it a laptop or a netbook?

Dont think netbooks have that option, but without more information i couldn't really SAY!Notebooks don't have what option?oh i have a netbook, but that is weird why dont netbooks have this option?
for the wallpaper thing?
i have a samsung
Setting wallpaper has nothing to do with whether it's a notebook or a desktopbut i cant change the wallpaper, so it means this netbook doesnt have this option...

or what did u guys say?The OS doesn't care if it's a notebook or a desktop. Right-click on the desktop - Personalize - Desktop BackgroundWindows 7 Starter Edition on netbooks does not allow you to change the desktop background.

However, if your adamant that you want to change the background there is a program you can download.

Here is the link and follow the instructions

http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/47294-desktop-background-change-windows-7-starter.htmlreddevilggg thank..i will try that.....

 
No Problem.

I somehow got the very nasty White Smoke virus on my XP Desktop last Friday. I was able to clean it out with Kaspersky, however now I cannot get my Print SPOOLER running.

The Spoolsv.exe file was missing from WINDOWS\system32, and the ImagePath was missing from Spooler in registry.  I have copied Spoolsv from my XP Laptop, and ADDED ImagePath (Type = REG_EXPAND_SZ & ValueData = %SystemRoot%\system32\spoolsv.exe) to my registry.

I have went over and over this and still cannot get the Print Spooler started, as there is still no Path To Executable (C:\Windows\System32\spoolsv.exe) listed.  Any SUGGESTIONS?

Thanks MUCH!Why are you revisiting a Topic that;s been covered and why did you not follow the advice GIVEN in your 1st Post ? ?

I have a HP TouchSmart tx2-1377nr Notebook with Windows 7.  Not sure what all is going on....  Internet started running extremely slow, when shutting down it always says something about background process is shutting down..  I need help with figuring out what I have running during start up and what I need and dont need , what can be safly deleted and help with my internet. I am using firefox 3.6 I think.

Please LET me know what logs you need for me to RUN and what other info you need to be able to help with this problem..

I have gotten help from here before(long time ago) so I have complete faith that someone can help me again...

Thank You
ksharris23You can with your computer running press control/alt/delete simultaneously and that will OPEN a window which has a "processes " tab which will show you what processes are running and what proportion of CPU use they are using. truenorth I have done that but I can not tell head or tails what they are.  I understand that my request may seem a LITTLE vague but if someone would just take a look and SEE if they notice anything that should not be there I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks When you bring up the task manager, look and see if the CPU usage is high. Here is how mine looks under normal conditions.

In SHORT the other half wants a DVD, but I can't get hold of the film for my region. Is it possible to make a region altered COPY of the film?

Not sure on the legalities of this btw so feel free to tell me off if I'm in the wrong.

[I am sure though that buying a film and making hundreds of pirate region altered DVD's to sell would be very illegal, but that's not the aim of the game.]http://www.google.com/search?hl=&q=Altering+DVD+regions&sourceid=navclient-ff&rlz=1B3GGGL_enUS369US309&ie=UTF-8If you are playing this movie on a normal dvd PLAYER then do a google search for how to make the player region free. Some dvd players even tell you this in the manual.

If playing it on a computer there are programs out there that will do this for you and once again google is your firend.

Using DVD  Flick to convert AVI to DVD results in Sound Sync Error. The sound is ahead of the video. How can I fix this so that next time I will get it right on the first write. (I am now going to use DVD RW so that I can try again and not waste DVDs.) Is there some kind of software that will insure that the output will be in sync?

I have TRIED it only on two XP pro SP3 systems. I have yet to try Vista or Win 7.

An update on this post. I scrounged around in my archive of computers and found a PCI video card (not as recent as i would have preferred)
It is an ATI RAGE 11 + 3D circa 1996. Has been installed in the DELL and has now given me the availability of adjustments to resolution parameters. Somewhat limited as this card was designed for use with Win 95/98. I can get 24 colours now (not 32) and i have the max resolution it will accept at 1028x780 or something like that. I tried to find drivers for it that would associate with win xp hoping i might get even more flexibility of choice. Went down many rabbit holes on that with no success. However  the good news is that the streaming video and dvd video on a 26" LCD HD monitor is great from the computer.Would have liked to have been able to upgrade the on board video card's drivers but that did not work out. Thanks to all that provided their guidance,truenorthIts a very small topic but its too much discussion !!jhonas, I fail to understand your contribution to this thread with your comment "Its a very small topic but its too much discussion !!" . The original issue still remains unresolved: the on=board video card has NOT been improved ( which logically if it could be improved would provide a better result than the card replacement i have done). Yes i realize that a more recent PCI card would undoubtedly give me better resolution options but so would the restoring of the on-board card if that is possible to achieve. I have done what i can so far but i was hoping that there would be assistance forthcoming to deal with the driver issue around the original video card. So if your insinuation is that it is not an issue worthy of discussion i would ask you why you think that? truenorthPlease don't respond to trollers. He's already been warned. Thank you.Too bad they didn't  give off an odor or something self evident that we could know they were trolls.    truenorthThis shall probably be my last pronouncement on this topic. In deference to the many people that seem to be following this post some new information but 1st a little background.
This computer was ACQUIRED recently WITHOUT any knowledge as to it's previous ownership or use. It had many issues. I had EXHAUSTED my own abilities to resolve what i believed to be most likely a software issue (probably drivers) with it in regards to it's "display" issue on a monitor. You are aware of my alternative of the PCI card installation and the result.
  I decided that this fix was not achieving what i felt would have been what the on-board video card would have provided. So the next thing i did in order to get a better picture of what if any remaining issues were going on with the computer.
1.I ran the "chkdisk" utility and watched the progress. Innumerable corrupt and orphan entries appeared.
2.The O/S was XP home version. I decided to install XP Pro version.
3.In the bios reassigned an optical DRIVE to 1st position.
4.Installed XP Pro SP 2.
5. Installation was successful.
6. The computer defaulted to the on-board video card. (initially created some heart thumping as i got a black screen after windows boot screen). However for whatever reason i unplugged the VGA monitor connection from the PCI card and back into the on-board video card and eureka a display appeared.
7.Now i have complete option ability within all the parameters of the display including all resolution parameter as the on-board card was intended to supply.
8. I had also been endeavoring to upgrade the computer from SP 2 to SP 3 and it would never install (always indicated errors well into the install). Now that too has been successfully installed.
  truenorthNice work there...
Good to hear it's off of life support... Thank you Patio,truenorth

I was wondering. When I first started playing guitar in the EARLY 90s, I got this awesome instruction cd-rom. One of my guitar heroes put it out and honestly I haven't seen it in years.  I came across it and wanted to check it out, but I had the feeling it might not work. My thought was correct as it was made in 95 and then just supported the new Windows 95...sounds ancient computer wise. I remember the video being great and the music tab worked with the video. It was really a cool software DISC. It is long out of print and really hard to come by from what I understand now. I looked into Window Explorer and there were some different files on the cdrom, but one file seemed to be the storage main file. It lists as a .MPL file (mPlayer Document). I have never heard of this file type before. The size if like 550Mbs so it has to be that one. I am not seeing too much online that is helping me so in the process I came across this site in trying to figure it out. I am not sure what kind fo files are in this main file, but my interest is to EXTRACT them if possible and maybe convert them so i can enjoy them on the computer and maybe my iTouch. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

BrentBrent, just a shot in the dark here but have you tried using the Program Compatibility Wizard, found in Programs \ Accessories?  I'm under the impression .mpl files are the video portion of the CD.  Hopefully someone more familiar with your problem will be along to add some help.

You might also provide the NAME of the original CD in question and maybe some serious Google SEARCHING will come up an answer.

Rosie Here is a link to tell you what a .MPL file is and where it was used. It is possible also to convert the file to another type if you do not have one of the listed programs that will allow it's use. truenorth

As Paul Newman said is his role as Cool Hand Luke (in the movie by the same name), "What we have here is a failure to communicate."   

I have 2 user accounts on this PC "Toshiba L355 notebook". I have it SET to start Malwarebytes, Comodo firewall, AVG and Secunia PSI when Windows starts. All were installed and set to 'start when windows starts' while logged onto my 'Administrator' user account. But these are also now starting when I start up and log into the other 'user' user account.
How do I set these to start with Windows only for my administrator account but not for the user account? Beats me.
Have you looked at this already?
http://thedailyreviewer.com/windowsxp/view/the-administrator-cannot-change-the-startup-programs-109178742Thanks Geek-9pm, but I have no problem accessing or running anything as administrator. I just can't figure out how to separate which programs start with Windows based on which user is logging on. If I remove the programs I mentioned above via 'msconfig/startup' while logged in as 'administrator', then they respond accordingly when I log in to the 'standard user' account. (and vise-versa). I would guess this is because Windows actually starts before the option is given for the user to log on - I also can't see a way to separate Windows startup options in the BIOS based on 'user'.

Also, I have the same results if I try to modify these programs start options via 'Administrative Tool/Services'. (not user specific).

Anyone else have a solution?

BTW: I forgot to mention this PC is running Vista (in specs) if that makes any difference.

Thanks,
Mike

Yes, there is a way of doing that in the registry. Before you edit the registry, make sure you know how to backup the registry.
Search Microsoft Support for:
Restrict  Users from Running Specific Applications

Sorry I can not find a specific reference. Basically, you have to demote the user to a LOWER level. Or you have to make a group policy and do not let the user be a MEMBER of the group.
The problem is that there needs to be a user level just below administrator, but above  guest. The method was changed in Vista. Search the Microsoft support site for new security features in Vista.

No No NO i mean that i post ads online a job i am doing is there is any software that i can add websites on it and then post one add to 200 websites in one taskIn other words, you WANT to post a "job" on websites designed to allow posting from visitors to the website.  Is that it?  Are you seeking a job or advertising a job? Tell me the password managers software for saving softwares for the websites and their user names Quote from: soybean on January 19, 2011, 02:21:39 PM

I need to do following task can any one guide me initials as i am new to this field ..

When you create a group on blackberry Messenger it allows you to have group chat, post pics see MEMBERS, calendar ect..
 
Simular to the way people can be added to join the group is the way i would like members to be able to download the software and INVITE members, who can invite members and so on.
 Each member should be able to be listed in catagorie such as clothing, food, computers, fitness ect.. they should be able to post one business card pic, little info about there special, business/service location and also a link for if they have a WEBSITE.
 
people will not be able to RESPOND to eachother because i dont WANT to complicate things however if they are looking for a service or business they will be able to see what it is that person offers.
 
Software is very simular to a directory except people can invite people to install software and be a part of the business community.

Thanks

Does anyone KNOW the best Free Video CONVERTER, I want to convert youtube videos (.flv) to .avi.Welcome to the computer help forum.
It's nice to see new people coming here, possibly you found us in the little search looking for the best and most friendly computer forum on the Internet.
But of course you could ALSO place your question on a Google search and found many answers to your question about the Best Video Converter. Without knowing much about you personally, it would be hard to find a specific recommendation that would suit your exact needs. So, rather than give you a long list of possibilities, please allow me to take a different approach.
This website forum takes pride in giving people free and objective advice about many matters. Yet it is a commercial site. It does depend on advertisers to help offset the cost of running this site. Therefore, it would be inappropriate to name just one particular commercial interest or to read negative comments about another commercial interest.
In the spirit of free speech and fair play, and I'll offer which is advice that goes beyond my own experiences. There are many, many commercial interests but would like you to try a free product that later you will wish to upgrade. There is nothing physically wrong with this process. However, there is a alternate approach that is in competition with this method. It may try to explain.
There are a number of computer professionals as well as amateurs that have DECIDED they are not in a hurry to make money right away. They wish to develop a reputation as being experts in their field. To them that is more important than the immediate monetary reward. To that end, they make some of the best software available to the general public for no erect monetary consideration.
Now here is my personal opinion. Why pay money for a software product if a free one is available? That should be a no-brainer. But a number of commercial interests have used the free to try approach rather than a completely free approach. And I am thinking of one company in particular that offers a free video converter which proceeds to the face your video by putting a watermark right in the middle of the picture.
So, or anybody out there reading this thread, don't buy any video software that puts a watermark on your work. There are lots of free products that are really, really free of any limitation.


And your recommendations are ? ? ? Quote from: Geek-9pm on January 18, 2011, 03:36:21 PM

I have been using utorrent for years and have never had this problem. uTorrent will download fine, but will not seed anything, whether it be while downloading or after it's finished downloading. The only message in the Logger tab is that rss.dat was damaged/missing but has been recovered. I use Windows XP Service Pack 2. Thank you for any reading. Any help would be appreciated.

LoocheryRemove all torrents from your system.
Do a deep virus scan.
This is NOT one of my jokes!It may be because uTorrent and other sites have been shut down/restricted...
Did you consider this ? ?Which version of uTorrent?

Try DELETING rss.dat from %appdata%\uTorrent

Hi Loochery
I have been using utorrent to download from btjunkie for quite a while with no probs. till I UPDATED to utorrent 2.2
Now when I try to D/L from byjunkie, utorrent doesn't open, instead Windo"ws Media Player opens with the message :
" Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file."      Any Advice? cheers brianThere is something going on with Windows Media Player and the use a Torrent media. I don't really understand it. But anybody could guess that MS is trying to sabotage the torrent sites. Or something like that.

My Windows Media Player stopped playing my torrent files. It plays the music fine, but my movie (torrent) files wont play anymore. I was watching a movie on it earlier and I clicked on something that I shouldn't have and all of the files stopped working! When my computer detects what happened it gave me this message:

Solve a problem with Windows Vista
Windows Vista has stopped working properly.

There is something going on with Windows Media Player and the use a Torrent media. I don't really understand it. But anybody could guess that MS is trying to sabotage the torrent sites.

Well, there seems to be a bit of confusion in this thread.

My post was somewhat sarcastic. to even suggestion that it is even possible for a application to somehow "know" that a file was downloaded from a torrent site was completely ridiculous on Geek-9pm's part.

I am running Windows XP, Home Edition, Version 2002, Service PACK 3; Microsoft Office Word 2007.

I am not ABLE to DELETE a line drawing, a shape, inserted Insert/Illustrations/Shapes/Recently Used Shapes.

In my effort to do so, I select the drawing, which is enclosed in a rectangle with a blue dot at each corner.  There is an ANCHOR in the margin.  After hitting "delete," the anchor and the blue dots disappear.  The drawing, however, is content to remain on the page.

How can I delete the drawing?

Please and thank you,

Oompahpap

Try this.Close the open project and start a new one.
If you have the same problem with the new document than my advice to you is to reinstall your Office.
If you don't have the problem with the new document than the document you wan't to delete the line drawing is damaged.After selecting the "object" you wish to remove, see if using Edit \ Clear will work.

So i backed up some OLD pictures and music onto a dvd from my old pc, i put the dvd into my laptop and the music works fine but i get the error message 'Photo Gallery can't open this picture or video. This file format is not supported, or you dont have the latest updates to phot gallery' when i try to view any pictures, I have tried to open them with DIFFERENT programs but no such luck, these are pics from about 2007 but i figured they would still work? I also tried to open xml files for example an old MSN CONVERSATION but that doesnt work, have i lost these files for good? Some help would be AMAZING because i really hope i can get them back
Thank you in advanceWhats the file extension on the photos ? ?

Hello,
         I have M.Office2010 installed.  I downloaded Power Point VIEWER (silly) then uninstalled it. Te result was all the M.Office programs, e.g. Power Point etc. are working fine. However, when I click the icon for OUTLOOK, it comes up with a box, asking me to wait while it configures... Then I have a message telling me it can't FIND the path, and asking me to list the correct FILE for configuring.   
    Oddly enough, when I keep cancelling the request, then up comes Outlook, but it's a real nuisance, as this configure me box keep popping up within Outlook, when I cancel a page.
   Any ideas how I can find the path for the thing to configure ?  The Office suite is a download (student offer) so I don't have any disc, but it's LEGAL.
   All help welcomed.

Apparently the program that I've mentioned is obsolete. It's been replaced with Adobe Shockwave of which I already have the latest version. I'd like to remove Macromedia but it's not in Add/Remove programs. I find the program in; path: C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Shockwave 8\SwInit.exe (which is version  8.5.1.102). Once I get into Macromed, there is an Unwise(uninstall) option and normally this is what I would do. My concern is; I get quite a bold warning, not to remove or CHANGE any files etc. in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM 32.,but they do let you view all files and this is where I find the "unwise icon".  I could just leave Macromedia but it's 20+ Mb and it keeps showing up in Secunia PSI as an "End Of Life" program and gives me a SOLUTION that doesn't SOLVE the problem.  Anyway, because of the warning I'm wondering if I should have any concerns uninstalling this program ? Thanks, overthehillI would remove it and just reinstall the Adobe, just in case I would make a restore point first though. Quote from: Quantos on January 18, 2011, 04:45:26 AM

I'm looking for thoughts comparing these two apps?  I realize that OO is free , but now Ashampoo Office 2010 is being offered for $14.99 US. What I'm asking is; is Ashampoo's offer worth the bucks? It appears to me that Ashampoo has some good apps. I use Ashampoo Snap 3 and it works well.
As far as "Office", I'm still using Office 2000 and it does everything that I require.
What's happeng is ; I'm trying to help a friend (at quite a distance, by email and phone) that just purchased a  PC. It's OS- Win 7 64 bit- and I'm afraid that this PC that he purchased knows more about him that he knows about it . BTW, I did get him to download Open Office and without being there it was awful difficult to help him. He so far has not got it installed. I'm hoping that perhaps for $15, Ashampoo's version may be (at least just as good or better?) and also wondering if it would perhaps be any easier for him to install . Anyone have thoughts on this?.
Thks, overthehillI've never used Ashampoo, but I just looked at their website and the price was $59.99 USD.  You might double check what you get for $14.99.

I do use Open Office occasionally and it works fairly well. Quote from: rthompson80819 on December 20, 2010, 05:28:52 PM

What seems to be the hurdle here?  Is the downloaded file a .exe file or a zipped file?  If .exe, can you not get him to just double click on the downloaded installation file and start the installation? 

Well, there'd be no harm in installing and keeping TeamViewer on your computer.  And, you would have it to use in the future if this friend asked help with other computer issues.  I've used it with my mother (in her 80's) but I have a feeling she may be a bit more computer literate than your friend.   

Probaby a good idea. It's the next thing that I'm gonna do. Once again, thanks. overthehill

On a related note re Ashampoo" as you undoubtedly know yourself. Your friend will have a life long new best friend as Ashampoo will never let him alone. They will constantly be trying to induce more product purchases.truenorth

I recently tried to send an email using my Office Outlook. It contained two attachments (1 PDF and 1JPEG file) about 3MB in size. I sent the email Friday as I left WORK and came in Monday to find it still in my outbox. I stopped the email from sending because about that time I was informed that the email had been sent dozens of times. I have estimated that this email went to three recipients about 60-70 times each.

What should I be looking for to correct this issue?

Windows XP Pro 32bit
Office Outlook 2007If it happened only that once I'd chalk it up to an isolated instance and not worry about it. It's possible it somehow got "stuck" in the outbox in "send mode" (don't ask, I don't know - but I've seen it happen before).If this happens again, I'd start investigating a virus problem. It did happen one other time. I chalked it up to an isolated incident that time.

Are we leaning towards a virus problem?How recent was that last time?  Any similarities between that time and the most recent occurrence, such as type and size of FILES sent?  Quote from: SmittySr on January 19, 2011, 09:34:21 AM

I’m looking for a SERVICE similar to Spotify.. I found out about it through a FRIEND, but can’t seem to FIND anything similar here. Does anyone know? (and I don’t mean services LIKE PANDORA or Last.fm)

I have, what I hope is an easy, question.  My new laptop came loaded with Windows 7 and so my old Calendar Creator Plus (A very old program) wont load.  Is anyone familiar with this program.  It made nice little calendars that had an "count" function that added a year to whatever event I put in.  So for my grand-daughters 18th bday it would automatically ADD a year on next years calendar.  I need a program like that for Windows 7.  Any IDEAS?  It's probably a 16bit application which will not run on Win7

Some Ideas...16 bit programs will indeed work with Windows 7 - they may not work with the 64 bit VERSION though, I'm not sure.Not if it's This One...

The newest ver. runs on all up to and including Vista...so i'm sure it's fine for Win7.I don't know about that particular app, but Windows 7 has no problem that I'm aware of with 16 bit apps. If NEEDED, you can always run in compatibility mode, but mine run fine with no adjustments at all I love this site  Thank all Quote from: Taras49 on November 24, 2009, 09:47:46 AM

I am going to put some videos I own on my Media Play and they are of 720 x 480 res.

Now they look good on my media play and my Media player has an  HDMi  output so I can watch it on a TV.

A standard TV no  HD  is  640x480.

I was thinking about saving space on my media player I could compress the VIDEO to one of the  templeats.
Like  Moble Device 480x360  and keep the  aspect RATIO at  4:3

Would this look good on a standard TV  None  HD?
Not SURE if I understand what you are doing.My personal experience is whenever I try to convert a video file I get some LOSS of QUALITY. Quote from: nymph4 on January 15, 2011, 12:42:58 PM

Computer info: HP Compaq Presario CQ60-615DX laptop. Windows 7 64 bit. Belkin F7D4101 wireless adapter.

I use a Belkin Wireless Adapter as the built-in wireless of my laptop doesn't pick up my router signal in the basement where my office is.


Problem: When the adapter is plugged into a USB port (any port) the other available USB ports will not read any of my thumb drives (they either do not appear at all, or they do appear but they show up as having no data on them). As soon as I unplug the Belkin adapter the problem goes away.

I've had the Laptop for seven months and this is a new problem that started a couple weeks ago. I made no changes to my computer in that time.

I . There is obviously some conflict but I'm not very computer literate and don't know how to resolve this issue other than attempts I've taken below.


Solutions TRIED:

1. Uninstalled/reinstalled USB drivers via Device Manager to no avail.

2. Reinstalled the Belkin software numerous times, No update for drivers available.

3. Tried System Restore.


Thank you very much for the help. Quote

download and run Mike Lin's Startup Control Manager (http://www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml). Check all tabs. Is anything starting with the system that you don't recognize?

Because you don't say so i must ask the question. Is your router plugged directly into the USB port or is it in a USB hub? truenorth

UPDATE!

I think I solved the problem...

I unplugged the adapter from the USB cord, then plugged it directly into my laptop and windows now reads all my flash drives with the adapter plugged in! I'm thinking it has to be the USB cord itself causing the conflict. Unfortunately I need a chord to place the adapter property in order to connect to the router so I can't leave it as is. I'm not going to mark this thread solved until I make sure. I'll get a new USB cord over the weekend and try it out.

Thanks everyone.

I have to double CLICK on links and start menu items that should only require one click. When I'm in the start menu, everything on the right SIDE CONTROL panel etc I have to double right click.

Is there a fix to this?When did it change? The previous owner said about a month after they bought it. 

It's not a virus, and I have tried to find something in the mouse settings but cantOK. Here is a video for Windows 7

Come back if that don't work.First of all, you already have a thread GOING on this. I'm locking this one.

Second, if I'm not mistaken you've been working with our malware people to clear your system. This is almost certainly RELATED.

Does ANYBODY here KNOWS market SAMURAI? I have a problem with the software. It is v85.1.

Is the problem a SECRET?

Is there a program I could install on my computer that can detect all processes running on my computer?Process Explorer...process:-  task managerI guess process wasn't really the right word to use.  What I'm looking for is a program that can tell me EVERYTHING that is running on my computer like stuff that shouldnt be there that I may have picked up on the internet.  I run antivirus and antispyware scans regularly.   I really don't know that much about it except for viruses and EVEN though I have plenty of processor power and RAM sometimes I have trouble with web pages loading extremely slow and also have had major problems with playing WoW(getting kicked and extreme lag) but I've heard about other THINGS besides viruses that can get in your computer and use it for various purposes.  If someone has knowledge about this stuff maybe you could elaborate?

I have come across the procedure to be followed to install Microsoft office document imaging in Office-2007. But What is the procedure with office-2010? (Under the office tools column, there is no MDI).

Thnx in adv.

RK  From: install microsoft office document imaging 2010

Microsoft Office Document Imaging (MODI)

MODI provided a common document imaging and scanning solution for Office. It was also the basis of the Fax feature for Office. When MODI was installed, it was the default handler for .tif, .tiff, and .mdi files. In Office 2010, MODI is FULLY deprecated. This change also affects the setup tree, which no longer shows the MODI Help, OCR, or Indexing Service Filter nodes on the Tools MENU. The Internet Fax feature in Office 2010 USES the Windows Fax printer driver to generate a fixed file format (TIF). MODI and all its components are deprecated for 64-bit Office 2010.By "deprecated", do you mean it's been completely dropped from Office 2010? Quote from: soybean on January 12, 2011, 08:02:49 AM

All, I know this might appear very basic, but I have searched the internet and can't find the answer.   I have a FRONTPAGE 2003 site using the Expedition theme.  I really like the looks of it and really mostly just use it for generating nice titlebars for the pages in my site.    My problem is everything in the site is left justified with maybe a 50 pixel left margin.   I would like the pages to appear in the middle of the internet BROWSER window.  My pages are only about 600 PIXELS wide, so they look a little funny on the PAGE. 

Can anyone tell me where I can make that change to center the pages?

Hello all.  About two years ago I posted about an issue I had with Rhapsody and my DRM files.  Eventually I had to reinstall XP in order to get my DRM files to work again.  Well it appears that I am back to having DRM issues again.

The only reason I have kept with this service was the convenience of unlimitied music on three MP3 players.  My husband alone has a playlist of 300+ songs.  Now I am looking to make a change.  (yes, by now I could have just purchased all of his songs...vs. paying for the subscription)

I do not have iTunes on any of my pc's.  I must say that I am not a lover of Apple but what are the alternatives?  I serched a bit through the forums and haven't found any reccomendations.

I am very far behind in burning music.  Just not my top priority but the time has come.  My children are now teens and they want tune-age!

Digital rights management
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Digital rights management (DRM) is a term for access control technologies that can be used by hardware manufacturers, publishers, copyright holders and individuals to limit the usage of digital content and devices. The term is used to describe any technology that inhibits uses of digital content not desired or intended by the content provider. The term does not generally refer to other forms of copy protection which can be circumvented without modifying the file or device, such as serial numbers or keyfiles. It can also refer to restrictions associated with specific instances of digital works or devices. Digital rights management is used by companies such as Sony, Amazon, Apple Inc., Microsoft, AOL and the BBC.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_rights_management

Copyright developed in the age of the PRINTING press, and was designed to fit with the system of centralized copying imposed by the printing press. But the copyright system does not fit well with computer networks, and only draconian punishments can enforce it.

The global corporations that profit from copyright are lobbying for draconian punishments, and to increase their copyright powers, while suppressing public access to technology. But if we seriously hope to serve the only legitimate purpose of copyright -- to promote progress, for the benefit of the public -- then we must make changes in the other direction.

What alternative programs are out there besides QuickTime or iTunes to rip my cd's?

If you're into DRM-free music, you have a reason to get pretty excited today. As speculated, Amazon has launched the public beta of its new digital music portal called Amazon MP3, which will feature two million songs from 180,000 artists and 20,000 labels, all without the painful and annoying restrictions of DRM. The press release claims  ...

The eMusic.com takes a different approach by charging a monthly subscription fee to download a number of mp3s per month. Right now the subscription levels are $9.99 for 30 mp3s, $14.99 for 50, and $19.99 for 75. eMusic also focuses on independent labels so you may be able to find lots of new music from lesser known ...

I created a small custom LOGIN that allows MINOR customization, creating a file, opening an APPLICATION, editing a file, SENDING a message to another computer on the network, remote shutting down another computer, etc. (Actually I learned how to create it, wasn't all me.)

I was wondering if there was a way to make this small program run as SOON as the computer turns on (Before or after logging in to a Windows account) and make it so no programs can be run until the person has successfully logged in correctly to the batch file.

I don't care how basic it is, as LONG as it works. There's some people who try to use my laptop and I don't like the Window's login, I want my own custom login.

(If this isn't the right section, I apologize and will move the thread to the correct area if instructed.)
