Solve : Computer light flashes but monitor doesn't display anything?

Answer» HI peeps, I tried searching for any SIMILAR questions/resolved posts but couldn't FIND anything.

I've had an iQon CPU and Philips monitor for 4 years running on Windows XP. A few months ago I turned it on but the light kept flashing on the cpu while the monitor displayed nothing. This continually happened everytime I turned it on, then one day it worked and I was able to use the computer for one day. Then as soon as I switched it off and tried to use it again, the same problems began.

I've tried using a different monitor and plugging the cpu in a different socket, but to no avail. When I SWITCH the monitor on, the light on the switch of the monitor keeps blinking, as if to say the cpu is turned off/isn't relaying any information to it.

The fan on the cpu still works, so I dunno, I'm just wondering if there's any suggestions, bearing in mind I'm a novice when it comes to hardware! Thanks.

(meh, just realised this is posted in software, not hardware, apologies) 

may be the picture tube is not functioning..

Solve : WMP 11 Trouble?

Answer»

I opend my wmp playlist today and atleast 40 of my MP3's wouldn't work! It CAME up with a MESSAGE saying "Windows Media Player cannot play this file. The player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file." But all the new MP3's I added atleast 2 days ago still work. I havn't really done much wich could effect the MP3's. I recently uninstalled Winamp if they would effect it I don't know. I checked the file where the MP3's are located and there all intact and still there. So I don't know what's happened. Anyone have any ideas?Uninstalled WinAmp?

SOUNDS like its a codec problem, when you uninstalled WinAmp, the codecs it used were also uninstalled.

Download the newest Full version of Klite Codec PACK:
http://www.free-codecs.com/download/K_lite_codec_pack.htm

Possible causes:
Codecs, addressed above
FILES were moved to a different directory, F3 to rescan?
Were the files in a different user account, which was once public, and now no longer? (Permissions check)

I'd like to stress that you should NOT under ANY circumstances, use pudding, regardless of flavour or lint content, which optimally would be pretty low, since I can't think of a reason anybody would want to eat pudding with lint in it. Well, moths, maybe. But how much expendable income do moths have? Heck, they expect a long life, get married, and have a candlelight dinner, only to have both of them fly into the flames and die. A gruesome end, since they didn't even TOUCH their lobster. At which point I can only eat one plateful, since I had already had a burrito for dinner, which I might add was quite spicey ....


(hours later)

And to add insult to injury, they wouldn't even tip, even though the alligator weighed at LEAST 300 lbs, and the hotel room was on the 60th floor.... Now anyway, where were we?

Solve : laptop won't boot?

Answer»

I have a Dell Inspiron 5150. It was working fine. My daughter turned it off and the next time she turned it on all she got was a black screen and a blinking cursor. I had her bring it home with her for Thanksgiving. It won't go into bios or safe mode. I took the battery out for a few minutes, put it back in and it started booting up but froze up. I did a hard shut down and it's back to the black screen. I put the XP Pro cd in and it did nothing.

Does any one have an idea?

NonnaDo you normally get a "splash screen" with the Dell logo?  Does Dell require you to press the delete key to get to BIOS, or one of the F KEYS?

I don't remember. It's my daughter's. I just tried all the "regular" keys.Oh, and no splash screen.No, you done good to try all the "regular" keys.  "Del", "F1","F2", and even "F10" get you to BIOS on some systems.

Does the blinking cursor show up right away, once you turn on the power?it shows up immediatelyHave you tried the battery trick again and then try to get into the safe boot menu? If so, you might be able to run a disk check/repair from safe mode.

Also, have you tried to boot from the recovery CD or any bootable CD? If this works, you have a hard drive problem. It could be corrupted software or root on the drive, or an actual physical error. My drive crapped out on my HP laptop several months ago. I was able to find a replacement on Ebay with Windows XP preloaded for $50.00. I just pulled the old one out, put the NEW one in, and presto it booted. Of course I lost any data that I had not backed up to my server recently, and had to reinstall all my software packages. Best Buy's Geek SQUAD guys wanted $200 just to LOOK at it, so this was a cheap alternative.

Good luck.yeah, the battery trick hasn't worked again. I GUESS I'll get an external floppy drive tomorrow and try this 98 start-up disc I have and see what I can do with it.

Thanks for all of your help. I'll let you know what happens.

Solve : Partition magic ??

Answer»

Ultimately I am going to be running about six workstations out of my house.  I am not trying to run a buisiness or anything like that, I am trying to get familiar networking.  I have my main general use station, and the family laptop.  Downstairs I have four test subjects.  Two are operational and two will be soon.  maybe I should be leaning towards a server based OS anyway. What are you trying to do exactly?

A whole server for six computers is a bit much, unless it were a medium sized business that needed user/password logins, and a full network drive that connects via a scrip on login. I am a networking STUDENT.  I am in  the early stages of my program, and iI WOULD like to be ahead of the game.  I realize I am a long way away from running all six work stations together.  I am trying to educate myself along the way by experimenting with different operating systems and hardware changes.  I have been picking up some units that are a little dated that need minor repair.  One just needed the hard drive ERASED and reformatted, the other had the bios system LOCKED.  I am waiting for parts delivery for the other two.  In my SPARE time I have been looking for the equipment needed to run such an operation.

Solve : CDburnerXP?

Answer»

I downloaded CDburnerXP but am curious about something.  It uses the "MASTERED" file system to burn disks.  So, if I use CDburnerXP to burn an RW DISK, how can I erase the RW disk later, if I NEED to???   If I'm not mistaken, "mastered" files cannot be erased.   

How did people MANAGE to erase RW disks before the "live file system" came out??

I erase them all the time and it has a tool to do so.
Just did one yesterday as a matter of fact.Follow this link and see what a microsoft website says about "mastered" disks.. They say it isn't possible to erase mastered disks.  (when you get to the site, click on the note that says "Why are there two different ways to format a disk?")

http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/help/2fa35b0d-b280-4589-9805-55e753888f5c1033.mspx#EI


On the other hand, here we are, and you say you have sucessfully erased a "mastered" disk.  What am I MISSING here???I'm not sure what you or MS means by "mastered" here...
The file system choices are listed in the drop down menu labeled Disk in CDBurnerXPro.Isn't the "live file system" as new thing that came out with Vista?  Since CDburnerXP was made before Vista came out I assume it uses the "mastered" file system format.

...and sinse "mastered" disks cannot be erased, according to Microsoft, I'm just wondering how people managed to erase RW disks that been been formated with the "mastered" file system.   

So, if someone were to say, "RW disks cannot be erased if they have used a "mastered" format", that would obviously be an inncorrect statement because you just said that you did it yesterday.....   I'm not too good with optical disks and I'm trying to get to the bottom of all this...

Solve : Excel holiday?

Answer» HI all,

I am trying to make a staff HOLIDAY register.

I have it set so that if an "H" or "1/2H" is entered the box turns green. EASY so far.

What I am looking for is a formula which will count every "H" as a 1 and every "1/2H" as a 1/2 or .5 so that for that month it will total all the "H" or "1/2H" entries.

This will then allow me to deduct the total from the annual 25 days holiday allowance.

Can it be done or should I go about it another way.......?Hey,

An idea I had; use custom cell formatting to make it display as '1.0 H' or '1.5 H' while keeping the ACTUAL cell value as just '1' or '1.5'. This would then allow you to make a total, and subtract that total from 25.

Try right clicking on the cell then Format Cells>Number tab>Custom, and then paste "0.0 \H" in the text box.

You can still use CONDITIONAL formatting to turn the cells with '1.0' or '1.5' green.

Solve : Back up in external HD of pics in my Kodak software?

Answer»

Hi all, I would like to send my Kodak PICS to a folder created in an external HD but with Kodak software program there appears to me to be only 'burn to disc' option. Once pics are backed up, I may then be able to delete from pc or at least not loose them like last crash that I had to FORMAT HD. Any help appreciated. Thanks.You should be able to "MANUALLY" copy the pictures from their existing folder to the back up folder by using Windows Explorer.  You can "drag" the pictures from their current folder to the DESTINATION folder.I will give that a try, thankyou very much.You may also want to consider a different IMAGE program for photos such as IrfanView (FREE ) ....
The Easyshare software is a pain in the you know what.I do have Irfanview too and I love it for reseizing. The Kodak software has some plus values as well though and downloading from camera into Kodak software works well. Thanks though for reply.

Solve : Macromedia Flash Player 6?

Answer»

Several times RECENTLY I have had a window appear -

"Macromedia Flash Player 6
A script in this movie is causing Macromedia Flash Player 6 to run slowly.  If it continues to run your  computer may become unresponsive.  Do you want to abort the script?"

I know that Macromedia is part of Adobe and I have Adobe 9 reader installed. Would that somehow have something to do with it?  I cannot FIND Macromedia LISTED anywhere in Control Panel - Programs & Features and am not sure what to do.  I never use Adobe and have Foxit Reader 2.3 also installed.  Would it be a good idea to just uninstall all Adobe programs?

I have recently got a new PC with Windows Vista OS and am not yet very familier with the new system.

Advice appreciated.    I'm wondering why you have the latest version of Adobe Reader installed if you never use Adobe Reader.  Anyway, I believe there's no connection between Adobe Reader and Macromedia Flash Player.  Still, if you never use Adobe Reader, I think I'd uninstall it. And then, run CCleaner (get the Slim version at http://www.ccleaner.com/download/builds).

Perhaps you should download Macromedia Flash Player 8And Foxit Reader... Thanks for suggestions, soybean.

To be perfectly honest, I've wondered why I have Adobe Reader -  it was installed ages ago and I changed to Foxit after some problem ( I think that involved Macromedia somehow).  Anyhow, it's now uninstalled and I have downloaded Macromedia Flash Player 8, as you suggest. I have CCleaner.

I still can't find Macromedia listed in Programs and Features. or anywhere else.

Solve : Yahoo mail: loose live links when mail is forwarded??

Answer»

Just reformatted a user's PC. Now whenever she GOES to mail.yahoo.com and forwards an EMAIL to anyone with a link like http://www.google.com the link is no longer live when received. She claims it worked before we reformatted her machine. Any ideas? Quote

forwards an email to anyone with a link like http://www.google.com the link is no longer live when received. She claims it worked before we reformatted her machine. Any ideas?
What exactly do you mean here?

Also, what email program/provider?Ok. I'll try to explain it a bit further:

- My friend logs onto http://Mail.yahoo.com
- She sees an email that has a link inside like http://www.Google.com
- The link is underlined and clickable when she reads it.
- She forwards it to ANYONE, including herself.
- When she or the other person receives it with the typical <'s on the left indicating it was FORWARDED,
   the link is there, but is not underlined in blue and not clickable. She has to copy/paste it into her BROWSER
   to go there, and she's a simple enough user that she doesn't want to have to do that each time.
- When I try to duplicate it on my PC with my mail.yahoo.com account, it works fine, so it is not yahoo's issue.
- It seems to happen in both the latest versions of Firefox and Internet Explorer 7.

Does this help?What browser ? ?Doesn't matter -- it happens in both IE 6 and the latest Firefox.Then it's a yahoo setting.

Solve : Uninstalling Novell Client?

Answer»

I recently acquired a Gateway laptop from my mom that she used to use at work.  It has Novell Client installed and whenever I start the computer, I am given a window asking for a password.  Neither my mom or I know the password.  In addition, since I am not in the NETWORK or whatever that she had at work, is that affecting this as well? What can I do? I just kinda want it off my computer, but I can't find anything online.  Everything I have seen involves being able to actually log on to the computer, which I can't do.  HELP!!try to click cancel..... if niether of youknow the passwords, try BOOTING in saemode, or even having to re-install the OSlog on to the computer USING the admin. account.  If your loggin on to the computer using the admin account Novell really doesn't matter, just make sure workstation only is checked and your computer name is highlighted You have to delete EVERYTHING!!!!! that has to do with Novell in the C: drive.  This should help the problem.

log on to the computer using the admin. account.

Doesn't that require a password, which was stated as UNKNOWN?

Solve : How can i end password protected apps??

I have this software i need to close but in order to close it i need to put a password.... and i have no idea whatsoever...
I obviously cant close it in windows task manager and also tried this app called Process Explorer... couldn`t KILL the thing.. Calling all pc experts to help me bypass this annoying problem.. tnxs Hi, I am a complete novice, but what I WOULD try is,  if I knew the date I installed it I would do a "SYSTEM restore" to a date just prior to it.

I am not saying it would work, but that is what I would try first, because I once installed a programme that caused me problems, and could not uninstall it, and that is howq I got rid of itDon't do a system restore unless its the absolute last thing that you can do. Quote from: joevh09 on November 13, 2008, 05:58:52 PM

Don't do a system restore unless its the absolute last thing that you can do.

System RESTORE not system RECOVERY. System restore is a built in feature of windows. System RECOVERY is usually done with a included CD which wipes everything to factory defaults.

There is no reason to be wary of System Restore functionality. I dont need to uninstall it... just end the process... tnxsI wonder what this process is called.....or what computer you're on for that matter....well its my computer and the process is trend micro's TMBMSRV.exe.. the thing is.. i created a password and i totally forgot.. what a looser    have you tried uninstalling/reinstalling?

chances are it will ask you for the password there too, though.Do you have a link for the program that includes this process ? ?
I don't know of any Trend Micro Apps that require a password to shut them down...Edit: After reading reply #11, I feel that I should not have posted my solution.  I have removed my solution for that reason.  I am sorry for any trouble I MIGHT have caused.Melitica, why do you want to terminate it anyways?Because its blocking my sites... and i think im way past that stage of my LIFE...

Solve : AWC Caution?

Answer»

Having RECOMMENDED Advanced Windows Care, can I give a word of caution about the latest version, V3? It stopped Windows working on my computer. I posted on their board and did as recommended and TRIED a clean install, which WORKED till restart, then it stopped Windows loading again. Other folk have posted similar problems on the AWC site.
It was a good program till this latest version, but I will not reinstall it now.Hopefully they will end up figuring out that users are having problems, and release a new version. You might be able to contact the manufacturer and ask for an older version. Not SURE if they are the same but MS just announced they are dropping Live One Care...You know, I really WANTED to try out Live One Care.

I am pretty sure AWC is another program made before Live One Care. Different company. Relatively common software. I tried contacted them via their forum. Other folk have posted similar problems, but no helpful response apart from "try clean install", which I did.

Solve : After a failed Internet Explorer no boot?

Answer»

Hello everyone.  A friend of mine loaned me his Toshiba Satellite Laptop L35-S2161.  He was trying to install a new version of Internet Explorer I suppose it was the most recent version (he didnt know himself).  Anyway somewhere along the line the install went bad and he restarted the computer do to a freeze.  When you try to reboot you get the normal Toshiba Logo with the option to go to BIOS (f2) or choose which boot method (f12)...such as HD,LAN,FDD or DVD.  However there is no way what so ever that I see to get to the option menu most computers have which allows "Last Know Good Config" or "Safe Mode".  Normally it is (f8) from what I understand.  He told me not to format either because he has files on the system he wants to save however I don't see any other alternative.

Boot to the XP CD and choose the SECOND repair option. This will install XP on top of itself, preserving all files, programs, and settings.

I have thought about this.  I do have one of the purple Dell CD's.  This would work ok even though the Laptop is Toshiba?  And I must ask and please in no way am I insulting you but you are completely sure that his files will be spared?

Actually my Dell CDS I have hear at my job are XP Pro 1A and another XP Pro Service Pack 2.  XP Home is what is installed on this Laptop.  Will that be an issue on a repair?I'm not insulted. As long as you don't reformat, the only folder that will be impacted is the system folder. You can borrow a copy of XP Home from someone for the purpose of the repair install (it MUST be HOME & the same Service Pack version that you have installed). If you are still unsure about performing a repair install you can Google it and there are several sites that will walk you through it step by step, though it's a pretty straightforward process.No.
This will not work.
The Toshiba will reject a Dell install CDSo pretty much my friend only has the option of contacting Toshiba directly for a recovery disk and then trying to boot off of that and do a repair install?No. As I said you can borrow a copy of XP Home from someone as long as it is the same Service Pack as what is currently installed.

Solve : Question about Computer Software.?

Answer»

I'm thinking about purchasing a new computer. I've been reading up how it's better to "BUILD" your own computer rather than buying MANUFACTURED ones because they are preloaded with software that lowers their performance. Can't you simply delete any unwanted software on the computer you buy and you'll be okay?

EDIT: Ah I apologize! I accidently click on the "Computer HARDWARE" section when I made this topic. It should be in "Computer Software" section.Most of the time, depending on the company you get the computer from, you should be able to UNINSTALL the unwanted software (however you may end up finding them useful.

You will have to refer back to the manufacturers website.

Solve : Can I have multiple reply to addresses in Outlook Express??

Answer»

I'm wondering if there is a way to have multiple REPLY to addresses in Outlook Express.

My boss wants me to email him all the emails I send out to clients so I put both the client and his email in the To field.  However, when the client replies is there anyway that the reply email will automatically go to both my email and my boss' email addresses?

You can't rely on the client to hit "reply all" instead of just reply even if I ask them to in my email so it goes to both of us.  I am only part-time so if I'm not here when the client responds, he will have to wait until I am in the OFFICE to forwad to to him.  It'd just be easier if 2 email addresses could be put in the reply to field in the ACCOUNT options.

Thanks for your help.I found that Outlook Express cannot do this but MOZILLA Thunderbird will.  So I've switched email programs and mission accomplished.That's interesting.  Thanks for letting us know.  SOYBEAN,
Isn't this possible if the addresses are in the same line (reply to ) in Outlook ? ?
I know hardly anything about Outlook or Outlook Express but i seem to remember reading this somewhere.patio,

I just tried it in Outlook and it did not work.  I tried separating multiple addresses with a comma or semi-colon in the Reply to box in the account settings and Outlook would not accept it. 

Another way the OP's requirement could be handled is by use of a mail forwarding feature, where the feature is enabled via settings in their email service.  Even a free Gmail account has this feature.  So, when sarah is away, she could logon to a Gmail account, enable forwarding, which automatically forward mail sent to her address, to her boss's address until the setting and disabled. Or, they could leave it permanently enabled and set Gmail to keep a copy on the server so that she could download those messages she missed while she was away.

Web hosting services also typically offer mail forwarding.  So, if they have a business website, this could be another way to enable mail forwarding.I know Outlook and Outlook Express handle "Rules" which could potentially forward every single email, but, on a server level as Soybean mentioned would be much better.

Even better:
Why not just have the boss add your work email address to his own client if he is going to check every email anyways? It would be less time for you and him to be wasted.

Solve : MPEG2 help?

Answer»

I have an mpeg2 Video FILE and I need the HTML Code to place it on my Web Site.

Can anyone just give me the code??How about uploading it to Youtube or something and embedding it to your website?I can make a link to the video on You Tube.

But I want the HTMLK Code so when people come to my web site they can see it play.

I did this befor but I lost the code???This is all you need - the regular embed-object - and maybe centered by you if you want to suit.

http://www.youtube.com/v/*********">  http://www.youtube.com/v/*********" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350">

replace the ******* with the code of the vid you WISH to access and play (the numbers and letters group).

YouTube does in fact give this next to most vids on their site.Thanks I will try what you just told me.

But is there a code to embed video right into the web page. My Server will let me upload my video files to them.

I know how to embed music to auto play is there a code to embed video right onto the web site without it going to say You Tube to get it???
ThanksHmmm - I have not tried this with  flash movies ...... but as an experiment substitute your uploaded vid file name within the code - but it'll need to be converted to flv.  No idea if it will function ...

Code: [Select]<object width="425" height="350"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.yoursite.com/yourvideo"<embed src="http://www.yoursite.com/yourvideo" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"> </embed> </object>

If you had a wmv then this code in IE would function for you - but only in IE due to activeX factors.

Code: [Select]<OBJECT ID="MediaPlayer" WIDTH="425" HEIGHT="350" CLASSID="CLSID:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95" CODEBASE="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=5,1,52,701" STANDBY="Loading Microsoft Windows Media Player components..." type="application/x-oleobject">
<PARAM NAME="FileName" VALUE="http://www.yoursite.com/yourvideo.wmv">
<PARAM name="autostart" VALUE="false">
<PARAM name="ShowControls" VALUE="true">
<param name="ShowStatusBar" value="false">
<PARAM name="ShowDisplay" VALUE="false">
<PARAM NAME="DefaultFrame" VALUE="Slide">
<EMBED TYPE="application/x-mplayer2" pluginspage="http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/MediaPlayer/download/default.asp" SRC="http://www.yoursite.com/yourvideo.wmv" NAME="MediaPlayer"
WIDTH="425" HEIGHT="350" ShowControls="1" ShowStatusBar="0" ShowDisplay="0" autostart="0" DefaultFrame="Slide"> </EMBED>
</OBJECT>
I have not tried embedding an MPG file at all.

One other code chunk for an .flv ...... bear in mind this is one I used for a wide screen movie which is why dimensions are as they are - again might be worth experimenting with your own domain and vidfile included if flv.

Code: [Select]<embed height="240" width="425" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" src="http://www.yoursite.com/yourvideo" play="true" loop="true" MENU="true"></embed>
There are a few media converters around - so you could maybe consider converting your current file to a more useful format for embedding.

Do some web searches - there is quite a bit of info out there.

How about references for the advise you're giving here?  Northsoul said nothing about his OS drive being other than C, so why are even mentioning "make your windows drive C"? I think you're way off base in your comments and, without some references to support them, I think Northsoul should ignore them.  I don't recall a Flash Player installation ever asking what folder to install it in.  I BELIEVE it simply installs in the appropriate place for WEB browser plug-ins. 
Just to clue you in...I have been working with him in chat and he has problems with his usb ports showing up as drives causing flash to seemingly install to them giving an error that there is no space available to install even though he has 220 some gig open on his ''I'' drive(windows drive).  I have a good feeling his windows is shot since he is having multiple issues and have advised him to save needed PERSONAL files off the drive and install as new with reformat.Yeah, those private help sessions via chat can leave a bit of mystery in the forum thread, so thanks for the cluing in.

In all honesty, I posted becase i wanted the people here to give me their opinions of what this is and what it does and every other aspect of the ghost mouse. If all you can do is offer me what I have read or scanned already I WAIT for someone who ismore readily disposed to answering the questions of those who post here.

Whatever - good luck.No! I'm prepared to do some waiting as always when I post in here. What I'm not prepared for, is someone who is flippant when responding to a legitimate query.

It's a Program that uses the Computer-Based-Training (CBT) hooks PROVIDED by windows to perform recording and playback of mouse FUNCTIONS. (This is a duplication of Windows 3.1 recorder app... whatever happened to that anyway...)

In any case- you ask what damage it could do. That a fairly broad question, but, unforeseen program bugs notwithstanding, the worst that can happen depends- if the screen resolution is different from when it was recorded, for example, the wrong items could be clicked, possibly even deleted, depending on the behaviour of the recorded mouse movements.

My opinion- there are far too many products like this out there, and many of this record keyboard strokes as well (maybe this one does, but it's name seems to imply otherwise). IMO, the most useful of them all was the windows 3.1 recorder, but unfortunately Microsoft decided not to reprogram a 32-bit version of the program.


A quick 10 minutes and I was able to glean this- wether it is what you were looking for, who knows.





It  may well be, however, as I am still not computer savvy, I have no idea what you said. I'm asking what this is because I read that people who use it are cheaters because it casts votes online.

So I was WONDERING is this an accepted program???  Do you need to be at the computer when it is in use? Does the computer need to be on while it works? Can you use your actual mouse while this Ghost Mouse is in service? Things like that...

According to your opinion, if you were to recommend one of this programs what would it be? Then what is the maximum damage it could do if other than already expressed.

Thank you for replying.
Ahh, I see- so it could be a trojan?

Well then- I'd use another one- I don't use them myself, and all I could come up with in a search was shareware/paid...

If you believe that is does this- then you shouldn't use it. Where did you hear about it casting votes online?


If a program is infected with a trojan, it can do any amount of damage- I was providing a opinion on what kind of damage it would do if it wasn't maliciously programmed.

It's possible that those that claim it voted online actually downloaded an infected copy of the application. If you're going to use this program, acquire it from a reputable download source, like snapfiles.com.Lol..no, no, no, no, no...I'm not going to use it. I simply wanted to know it's capability. And because of who is involved I'd rather tell you privately, then you can discern your response as privetely given or public.

Umm...I just thought of something, of course not knowing what this device is or its capabilities, I was wondering, is it possible this can be used with a cell phone to cast votes?

My Internet connection is between 2-5MB stream(I'm in a foreign country and only can get ADSL).Try INSTALLING Flash player instead.

Solve : Java Program not working.?

Answer»

Having trouble with this freeware program I came across. I unzipped it and the first time I double clicked it, it worked. Every other time it did nothing at all.  I INSTALLED all the java stuff on my Windows XP computer that I thought could run it. I thought maybe it needed a class of some kind so I tried dragging the "animelamp executable file" into the Java bin's "javac" to make a class file. That didn't work. I have no clue how to get this program to work.

[Saving space - attachment deleted by ADMIN]try the BATCH file. Quote from: BC_Programmer on November 08, 2008, 09:47:05 PM

try the batch file.
Command prompt comes up for a second, then closes a second later. Nothing happens.What program is it?
What did you double click? I don't see any exe file.It's a java program, which usually runs via .class files- here they are packaged in JAR files. which one has the main class is a puzzle in and of itself.


webcam guy- right click the batch file and select edit. What is inside? Quote from: Broni on November 08, 2008, 09:55:22 PM

start javaw -jar animelamp.jar > animelamp.log
sounds like there could be a class missing in there. Have you tried reinstalling/re-unzipping the program from the original archive? Quote from: BC_Programmer on November 08, 2008, 10:11:20 PM

I've unzipped it a few times and re tried running the .bat. It just comes up with the command prompt for a second and then goes away.

Imageshack automatically puts that link in there.When did they start doing this ? ?ImageShack does not do that to me. Quote from: Kip on November 10, 2008, 04:32:29 PM
ImageShack does not do that to me.
It's when you use their "Hotlink for forums(1)" link.

Solve : Excel files not opening?

Answer»
HELLO everyone

I have an odd problem-
I am unable to open any Excel files in My Documents\Explorer. Excel will open, but not the file itself. I have to then go to Open, and find the file again to open it.
This only happens for Excel files, and only on this computer. Its a work computer that many people USE, and I have been unable to determine if someone has played with any settings...

Thankyou
Does it give you an error message when you try to just double click on an excel file?
What if you put SAVE an Excel file to a LOCATION other than My Documents\Explorer?  Does Excel behave the same WAY when you double click on an Excel file?  If, instead of double clicking, you right click on a file and select Open, does it behave the same way?

Solve : Installing Server 2008 on VMWare Workstation 6.5.2?

Answer»

Well, I would normally post on the VMWare forums, but no one is HELPING there, so I hope you guys can here.

So I've acquired Server 2008 off of dreamspark, and now I'm trying to install it into VMWare Workstation 6.5.2. Installation seemed to be working fine, up until it said it couldn't find any mass STORAGE device drivers that work for what I had. So all I'm really asking is if anyone can point me to where I can point Server 2008's installation to find the proper drivers. P.S. I tried MOUNTING the windows.iso VMware cd, browsing to the SCSI driver, but that does not seem to work.

Thanks!

Here's some more info:


    * Exact VMWare Version: 6.5.2 build-156735
    * Host OS: Windows XP Home SP3 (32 bit)
    * Guest OS: Windows Server 2008 (Attempting to install STANDARD full) at build 26710 (I think)
    * Problem happens all the time
    * Attempting to install triggers the problem
Bump  If you're using SATA drives you may need the drivers for it.Well, I fixed it by now. VMWare doesn't emulate sata, at LEAST to my knowledge, but the problem was it was using a SCSI SAS driver, rather than a regular SCSI driver. So all I had to do was add a virtual machine the custom way.Cool, glad to hear it.

I think you are thinking or WinDirStat.if anyone would like to know what started all this i reinstalled windows last night after using n-lite. all is well but as i was defragmenting using perfect disk it was showing 27gig of my 40 gig drive was being used. so i went to drive properties and sure enough. so that got me thinking about the program i cant remimber. after DIGGING around i found that the applicaton data folder was saying 20gig there in the folder for VLC another folder crash dump was the one taking up space.( very strange day indeed) !  i deleted the folder not paying attention to what was in it ,but now i am curious,oh well !Winder stat is the WINNER!
