2506.	Solve : Worth a read: Don't Panic! How to Recover Data From a Dead Hard Drive?
Answer» Worth a read: Don't Panic! How to Recover Data From a Dead Hard Drive Recently I was recovering data from my FRIENDS laptop when I decided to see some different ways of recovering or backing up a hard drive. Through Google I came across this article: http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/how-to/tips/4294038[/size] [/size] It tells you about hard drive recovery and how you can go about doing it. It then also tells you what the chances are for recovering from a drive that has gone through a mechanical failure (Gone through a natural disaster or dipped in oil). Upon reading this I decided to find software that can recover data in situations that the hard drive is a logical failure. Here I found: http://sourceforge.net/projects/clonezilla/[/size][/font] Clonezilla comes in a live CD that you can load into a computer and creates a partition or DISK clone from your hard drive. [http://sourceforge.net/projects/bacula/[/size][/font] Bacula comes with a set of programs that can manage BACKUP, recovery and even SUPPORT doing so over a large network with different OS's. http://sourceforge.net/projects/redobackup/[/size][/font] Redo Backup and Recovery can just about do that lot, recover, backup, partition editing, partcloning etc. and it comes in a live cd so you can boot it straight from the system. These are only a few free programs that I found from browsing SourceForge (best place for a community of people working on free projects) and it would be great if other people could SUGGEST stories or software for data recovery, backup etc.

2507.	Solve : Decrapifier vs Slim Computer?
Answer» We just gave our son an Acer laptop for Christmas and would like to KNOW which of the "clean-up" programs works the best for getting rid of all the pre-loaded garbage on new computers. Decrapifier or Slim Computer. Can I download these and other malware programs to a flash drive on my computer and install them on his new computer before loading up Norton Antivirus? I would just as soon install as many security and malware programs as possible before getting on line. Any, and all other suggestions are more than welcome. Thank you.Windows firewall will be running, so don't worry so much about installing security and malware programs before going online. By the way, paying for Norton Antivirus should be viewed as an option, not a requirement. Of course, the computer should have an antivirus program installed but several good free antivirus programs are available. I'll mention avast! Antivirus, Avira AntiVir Personal, and Microsoft Security Essentials. Regarding malware (other than viruses) protection, SuperAnti-Spyware and Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware are two highly rated programs.

I don't know if the fact that it goes through a Linksys router has anything to do with download speed or not. I only have the router for times when someone visits and needs internet service or for the RARE times I use my laptop. Thank you for the tip on Mike Lin's Startup Control Panel link. Just today, though, I did run into a problem with youtube. No matter what video I wanted to view today, the video would run for 4-8 seconds and freeze up as if it were buffering, but then it would not restart no matter how long I waited. This has never happened before. I don't know if the problem is on their end or mine?Re downloads - using a router should not effect anything. Nor would installed apps. Internet speed depends mostly on your ISP and the fact that you are not getting "advertised" speeds is absolutely NOT unusual.

2509.	Solve : Odd sound (software I think) problem?
Answer» I have quite a peculiar sound problem on the computer I am USING right now. Whenever a sound comes out it makes an echo sort of like a feedback loob or someone on ventrilo puting they microphone to their speaker. It does not create a feedback loop, rather an odd echo that slowly fades and makes it difficult to use skype and makes listening to videos on Youtube annoying. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you very much. Edit: I know it is not my speakers because it does the same thing when I plug my headphones into the front of the computer.Lol I had the same problem! Look in the taskbar for something like Via HD Audio Deck or something connected with audio thats not your volume levels. Than disable the effects. Should work There were no sound modification programs in the START bar. This problem persists even if the computer is turned off and the computer has done this several years. Quote from: stefun999 on DECEMBER 23, 2010, 06:22:29 PM This problem persists even if the computer is turned off What do you mean? Quote from: stefun999 on December 23, 2010, 06:22:29 PM This problem persists even if the computer is turned off ... Are you saying you hear this unusual noise even when the computer is turned off? Do you ALSO hear the noise with your headphones with the computer turned off? If you unplug the computer, do you still hear it? What type (dialup, DSL, cable) of Internet service do you use? Has this remained the same during the several years you've noticed this odd sound? During this time period, were you using this same computer? What make and model is it? Do you use onboard sound or an add-on sound CARD? If you've had this problem for several years, why are you just now inquiring about it?

2513.	Solve : can't completely eliminate comodo file.?
Answer» I went to one of your answers but didn't seem to apply. when I click to delete comodo file it gives me an Error Deleting File: cannot delete CAVshell.dll: access denied make sure the disk is not full or write protected and that the file is not in use. --------well, I am not using a disk and I don't know how to check if it is write protected. it is not in use that I know of. I am not computer savvy so if you have a solution I need step by step procedure. thanks for any help. What exactly are you trying to do? Uninstall Comodo? What Windows version?The error that you are experiencing is usually as a result of the file currently being in use (i.e. Comodo is currently running on your computer). If you currently have Comodo installed on your computer it should be uninstalled by GOING to Control Panel-->Add or Remove Programs. By using Add or Remove programs it will remove Comodo (the program) and usually most files ASSOCIATED with it from your computer. Alternatively, you should be able to remove the file if you log into Windows in Safe Mode. Safe Mode bypasses the LOADING of non-integral system PROCESSES. In safe mode you should be able to remove the file. Warning: When removing files in Safe Mode make sure that the file is not integral to your computers Operating System. The removal of certain system files will result in you being UNABLE to boot into the Windows Operating System.

2514.	Solve : Presorium Frontgate MX?
Answer» I had been using Presorium Frontgate MX to FILTER my emails before I downloaded them from the server. I built a new computer using Windows 7 and I can't find the install file for it now. It is an older program and I don't even think they're still around. If anyone knows where I could find a copy of the program or even a similar program to it I'd greatly appreciate it. I really liked how Frontgate operated.DOC, it seems ou posted this on another forum. But you didn't Google it? Why didn't you save your downloads to a DVD? I have stuff I found ten years ago. So I am just wondering. I tried Google and found links from several years ago but the company and the software seemed to have vanished since. I thought I had the install file SAVED but apparently it either wasn't the right one or it was MISSING something because it won't install it now. It might be just because it's old and not supported and won't run on 7. I was just hoping someone had USED it and had a copy floating around that I could try to install. Thanks anyway.Sorry I can not help. Most of the REFERENCES are about 7 year sold. The Domain name may be up for sale. So they went out of business. Somewhere I saw a link that claimed it would work in Windows XP. In Windows 7 there is some way to set compatibility with older software. The best I can recommend is you look for some current producrs using keywords: "free email spam filter" Here is a video worth watching http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qsp_eVdtFZA&feature=related For personal use you do not have to buy it.

2518.	Solve : What torrent client are you using??
Answer» I am with bitcomet but a guy from this forum told me that its not a really good program to use. So.. what torrent client are you using and do you like it ? What guy, and what reason did he give? There is very little difference between BT clients. Please note that we do not discuss PIRACY on this site. I use Vuze myself. I also use Vuze.μTorrent here.Bitcomet isn't that bad of a program, IMO, it shows the IP's you are connected to and can be USED as default for all downloading (I don't do that but i did by accident one time). i use isohunt.com for the torrents and Bitcomet takes care of the rest.

Solve : What torrent client are you using??

Answer»

I am with bitcomet but a guy from this forum told me that its not a really good program to use. So.. what torrent client are you using and do you like it ? What guy, and what reason did he give? There is very little difference between BT clients. Please note that we do not discuss PIRACY on this site. I use Vuze myself.

I also use Vuze.μTorrent here.Bitcomet isn't that bad of a program, IMO, it shows the IP's you are connected to and can be USED as default for all downloading (I don't do that but i did by accident one time). i use isohunt.com for the torrents and Bitcomet takes care of the rest.

2523.	Solve : Outlook - automatic reply to e-mail messages?
Answer» Every time I receive an e-mail message in my POP3 account, Outlook sends a reply message to the sender stating that I'm on vacation. Some time ago, I was experimenting to see if I could set up such a message and apparently I was succseeful. The problem is I'm not sure how I did it and I would like to make it stop. I have gone through all of my RULES and alerts and can't find a rule which would do this. I have run a search on my entire hard drive to find a file containing the words in the reply message that gets sent. I have searched for .oft files and RWZ files and can't find any. Does anyone have any suggestions?I'm not sure what version of Outlook you have. I am running Outlook 2003 and the way to turn it off in this version is to click TOOLS, Out of Office Assistant, and make sure the I am currently in the office radio button is selected. Hope this helps. ElsiePOA, your Outlook works with an Exchange Server, right? You use this computer is a business/office setting, right?No - I'm not on an exchange Server. I have a POP3 account and that does not have the "Out of Office Assistant" feature. I think I solved my problem. I cancelled my e-mail account and established a new one with the same e-mail address. As far as I can tell, Outlook has now stopped sending the automatic response.The reason for my asking WHETHER you were on an Exchange Server is this, per Outlook Help: "The Out of Office Assistant command does not appear unless you are using an Exchange Server e-mail account and you are in the Mail view." So, I have no idea how you could have set up such an automated reply. In your original post, you said, "Some time ago, I was experimenting to see if I could set up such a message ...". Did this Outlook behavior start at that time or not? Edit: OK, I just saw your last post. Glad to hear problem resolved. The way I set it up originally, was to follow instructions on the Microsoft Outlook website. There were ( and still are) additional instructions for setting up an auto response for people using a POP3 account. I think I set this up and it worked O.K. But when my computer got INFECTED and I had to completely restore it, the program started sending these responses all the time and i couldn't find a way to stop it

Quote from: ianbell on March 13, 2008, 03:41:39 PM

...every time I ask it to run a time check it backs up an hour. ...

I've used Dimension4 here for a long time, to set the clock. I don't believe it will do the little display that you mentioned.
http://www.thinkman.com/dimension4
Using Win98SE here.

I just put up with it. In that I changed my time zone, and UNCHECKED "Automatically ADJUST clock for daylight saving changes". If I think about it too much, it gives me a headache.
But the time on this computer is right.

After that first weekend in April - is that when it used to change to DST?- then I'll check those settings one more time, do what I need to do, and be ok again until the end of October.

Have you examined those settings? and could you make a change there to solve it?

2536.	Solve : MS Office 2003 / Error 1402?
Answer» I installed a new Western Digital Hard Drive in my Sony Vaio computer. I reloaded Windows XP Home and most of my old software programs. I realized that I hadn't LOADED MS Office 2003, so I started to install it. It gets about 2/3 through the installation and gives me an Error 1402 DIALOGUE box. I have checked to make sure that there is not another version of the program showing in the "Add/Remove" area of the Control PANEL and I don't know what to do next. I am guessing this is a Registry Problem since it is saying that I do not have "permission to load the program."This article pertains to Office 2000, but it may be WORTH a read: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/236427 Here's another one that might be helpful: http://www.winway.com/Main3/support/Resume/Install/Error1402.aspx More: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Error+1402+Office+2003&btnG=SearchThanks.....I will take a LOOK at them.

2538.	Solve : Partition help please...?
Answer» I finished my new build about a month ago, and screwed up when partitioning my HD. I wanted to allocate 10GB for Windows XP and the remainder for everything else, programs, games, files, whatever. I created one partition, of 10 GB and installed windows on it. After installing all my devices and software i realized that my C drive was only 10gb, mostly taken up by windows, anti-virus, etc. Oy! So I want to rectify this and will reinstall windows fresh and partition the drive properly. I proceeded to BOOT from my xp cd and reached the partition part, and now I want to make sure I do this right. I have a 500 GB HD. How should I make the partition(s)? Please explain in as much DETAIL as possible. Although I am FAR from computer illiterate, I obviously don't know what I'm doing for this one very important step. I have to learn though! Thanks in advance for your help!http://support.microsoft.com/kb/313348 Good luck.Thanks Dusty! I read through that page and it seems pretty self explanatory, yet leaves me with a couple questions. After the first partition (in my case, 10 GB) is created, the remaining disk space (490 GB) is considered unpartitioned. Such was the case when I initially did this. However that disk space was unusable as there was no drive assigned to it, ie D, E, F, etc. Am i missing something, or do I have to create a second partition to make that part of my HD usable? I went through my existing drives in windows explorer and the 490 GB is definitely nowhere to be found. I am assuming that's what I need to do, create a second partition, thereby assigning the unpartitioned portion a drive. I don't like to assume, as that's what got me into this mess in the first place. What really is the point of putting windows on it's own partition? I mean it's far less than 10 GB, which isn't much CLUTTER, and doesn't take all that long to scan, defrag, etc. As far as I know, every computer I've ever had, had windows on the C drive, along with all the other programs and files and what-not. Maybe that is incorrect, but I can't recall ever having to go to a different drive to find the windows folder, which then leads me to believe that it was in fact installed without its own partition.

Answer» I have a problem to with a Toshiba laptop computer. In order to use the restore CD, Vista needs to be installed in the first PARTITION. If I want to install DOS it needs to be installed in the first partition. I think my partitioning software "Bootit NG" is written with Dr. DOS and seems to WORK in its own partition. If I converted my Quick Basic code to Dr. DOS Basic could it be run in its own partition in any location? If so where can I get a Dr. DOS OPERATING system? Any information about conversion difficulties would be appreciated.Firstly, it isn't "Dr. DOS", it's DR-DOS. Get it here http://www.drdos.net/download.htm I am not sure what you mean about converting your Quick Basic code to "Dr. DOS Basic" (There's no such thing).

2541.	Solve : Problem when I use "Safely Remove Hardware"?
Answer» Try using this: A program that allows you to quickly remove USB devices in Windows. It was originally designed to remove only USB pen drives but will now EJECT any USB device.You probably have several thumb drives. They're great for toting around your documents. Not only are thumb drives convenient, they're more durable than CDs and floppy discs. Still, you need to remove them correctly from the USB port. Windows has the Safely Remove Hardware option. But this is cumbersome. You get several dialog boxes before you can eject a drive. And then there's the aggravating message you get when the drive is ready to be removed. It’s especially useful when dealing with multiple USB devices and for Vista users who don’t want the ‘now safe to remove this device’ dialog box to appear. http://quick.mixnmojo.com/usb-disk-ejectorThat's the problem, kb -- doclee shouldn't be getting any kind of error or disconnect message being "driven" by his ADSL modem. It should just stay connected.Gentlemen, I apologise for the inordinate delay in coming back to you with a progress report - a combination of having to work away with no ACCESS to the net and somewhat tortuous discussions with my ISP. That said, what progress? No luck so far. Neither a clean re-install of the software nor the use of a new modem have solved the problem. After much humming and ha-ing by the IT blokes at the ISP they have plumped for this being a problem with the "Safely Remove Hardware" programme in the Windows XP operating system. Does this sound reasonable and, if so, what MIGHT I do about it - please, don't SUGGEST re-installing Windows XP!! If this doesn't sound reasonable, what might be your suggestion(s). Many thanks for your CONTINUING help. doclee

Answer» Hello all, Attachedis a FILE that contains two sections, the first section shows how i need the text to appear, the second section is how the text is given to me. I need to create a macro that creates the word "FORCE" infront of the first number and then right justifies the first number in column 13 Then it needs to erase the blank line, take the first FIVE values and place them all on the same line and right justifies the text in a specific columns, and then it needs to repeat for the rest of the data. Any Ideas on what I can use for macro codes? [recovering disk space -- attachment deleted by admin]I gather this is going to be a recurring procedure. Is that right? You mention two sections. Is the column of numbers in the left side of the file starting with a 9 and followed by a series of 0's and 1's below it one of these sections? I don't know how you would do this in a macro in Word. Being an Excel user, I'd most likely do this in Excel, then copy the final RESULT back into Word, if it needs to be in Word. No the list of numbers that starts with a 9 came out of excel into a text file then convereted to a word document. That is how the information looks when i pulled it out of excel. I need the first five rows of data, pulled into the same row and spaced out so it starts 9 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 I need it to automatically go to this Force 9 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 I have 9600 points for each force and about 14 forces so i need to automate this.

2546.	Solve : Access 2003!!?
Answer» Hi guys, This is a bit of a long winded PROBLEM so sorry in advance!! I am running windows XP, version 2002, SP2. I am currently taking my Microsoft user specialist exams and have recently bought the Office 2003 practice EXAM software. I currently have Office 2003 home edition and Office 2007 professional plus installed on my computer. However because no Microsoft access CAME with the 2003 package (which i didn't realize and didn't need at the time) i cannot RUN the Access practice exams. I have a Microsoft office professional XP disk which has the Access 2003 program and I was just wondering if there was any way I could install it on my computer and use that to practice the Access exams. Whenever i choose to open the Access exams they run the simulation using 2007 which isn't a lot of use to me for a 2003 exam. My apologies if these details are a bit confusing but any help would be most appreciated.Umm, let's get our facts and terminology straight here.

Hi guys,

This is a bit of a long winded PROBLEM so sorry in advance!!

I am running windows XP, version 2002, SP2.

I am currently taking my Microsoft user specialist exams and have recently bought the Office 2003 practice EXAM software. I currently have Office 2003 home edition and Office 2007 professional plus installed on my computer. However because no Microsoft access CAME with the 2003 package (which i didn't realize and didn't need at the time) i cannot RUN the Access practice exams.

I have a Microsoft office professional XP disk which has the Access 2003 program and I was just wondering if there was any way I could install it on my computer and use that to practice the Access exams. Whenever i choose to open the Access exams they run the simulation using 2007 which isn't a lot of use to me for a 2003 exam.

My apologies if these details are a bit confusing but any help would be most appreciated.Umm, let's get our facts and terminology straight here. Quote from: Lorraine on July 07, 2008, 03:48:51 PM

No, Office XP Professional would have Access XP, not Access 2003.

So, are you asking whether you can install Access XP only from your Microsoft office professional XP disk?

Answer» Hi BC, Still not solved. i tried every font, still the same. and about the titile bar, i've purposely cut it on the correct image to reduce the FILE size. it doesn't matter. but still, its unsolved.Try setting XP to Classic view...I did that as well Did you try to contact program maker?I did, he even gave me the fixed one. but still the same. I did ask help from my friend as well, but he said, there is nothings wrong with the software actually. He said my laptop may require other software to run it, he can;t get his fingers on.

I hit ignore I get this message that says the drive cant be dismounted its clean their is nothing on it at all. Works prefect as a slave drive tho but I wanted it to be my master just 1 hardrive in my computer thats what I want. Hello Rockstar. Have you checked this in the User Guide? As far as I know, they have described this condition and possible solutions in the guide. Please check the guide and see if any information is provided or not. Sorry that I cannot hint you there myself as I don't have the guide. Let us know if it helps or not. Good Luck. -- GokuYou cannot clone a drive running in that drive's Windows installation . You have to PREPARE a bootable Ghost CD as described (Thanks, GOKU) in the user guide, and BOOT from that.
