Hi everyone,

I used to listen a lot to BBC4 radio, my favoutite talk radio, and now after a couple of months I want to to do this again but it appears that I can't:

First, it takes ages to access the website via IE7 (too old?) or Mozarella firfox 3.1
Second, the BBC player doesn't work when i click on "Listen Live"- or again it takes ages to download.

It seemed to work at my office computer this morning. But not on my home computer, yesterday nor now. MECK

Also, i don't have any trouble with any other website.

So what could be the problem ?




Sounds like a slow connection...

The "BBC player" is just Adobe Flash Player. Right? Do you have the latest version of Flash Player installed, version 10,0,32,18?

BTW, I'm listening to BBC radio right now. My Internet connection is about 1,500 kbit per sec.

I don't know what BBC i-player means , i'd say it stands for internal player or something...

She said do it from the start menu...

I've got an ADOBE acrobat form that has a submit BUTTON that submits to a website. NEED to change the site it submits to. Anyone know where to find the script? This is a form used on our INTRANET and It's not locked in any way but I cannot find the script or action or what ever is causing it to post to a CERTAIN site.

Thanks, AlexYou can't change it. That's the whole point of a PDF.

DVD-R or DVD+R is very low cost when bought in packs of 25 or more. They can hold enough data to backup most of the essential things on your computer.
Use of RW CD or DVD is not a good idea. Except when you have a compelling reason for it. Such as a project where you only want to keep date for a short time and then destroy it.

Yes. DVD R/W media is a waste of time.

I think you're missing a point here. Even though a former member who started a thread is no longer a member, the discussion may still have value to FORUM visitors searching for discussions on a particular topic. Just because the person is no longer a member does not necessarily reduce or negate the value of the content in the discussion. As long as his original post and replies to it are in the forum, the discussion may still have value.

I NEVER say that a "post has ended" - I don't even know what that means. I "notify" you when you respond to posts from threads that are 6 months old - which you constantly do.

Yes, and i am aware of that. So just leave me alone HMMMMM?!

So, again, do we post to existing threads which are arbitrarily deemed too "old" or do we create new threads and topics at will, for which others have come under criticism?

Nicely stated.

Well, there are two words I never thought I'd see following a post from BC

I am very fond of this forum and would LOVE to know if the small "gif-thingies"(in additional options) I PLACE under a message "hurt" the forum in any way.(Then I`ll cut down and place a lot less).
Does it cost BANDWITH or does it slow you down in any way ?


All the best,keep it up;Eric.When they are overdone (as you sometimes do ) it's just annoying. Just use ONE instead of 10 and you'll be fine.OK i will cut it down.I was just wondering.
Thank you for the quick reply...I`ll cut down (A LOT !!!).
I`m no computer-whizz so I was questioning myself.I don`t want to hurt this forum in any way...Sorry...I`ll better myself .
Best wishes:Eric.

What do you think?

One could only guess that MS was going to user that for themselves.
Most of the Intel CPU's made in the last few years have this feature available. But it is usually IMPLEMENTED only con commercial motherboards used in servers, not desktops.

Enabling Memory Support for Over 4 GB of Physical Memory
I've read Geoff Chappell's article several times, trying to find some weak spot and I don't see any.

I feel confused to say the least.....

chances are in the case of 32-bit systems that are using huge amounts of RAM using this hack that it's possible (under undue stress to the system's memory) that the system will actually run out of handles to address the RAM with; and yet still have excess RAM to use

Windows 2000 Usage Considerations
Before you configure Windows 2000 for AWE memory, consider the following:
* To enable Windows 2000 Advanced Server or Windows 2000 Datacenter Server to support more than 4 GB of physical memory, you must add the /pae parameter to the boot.ini file.
* To enable Windows 2000 Advanced Server and Windows 2000 Datacenter Server to support a 3-GB virtual address space, you must add the /3gb parameter to the boot.ini file. This allows user applications to address 3 GB of virtual memory and reserves 1 GB of virtual memory for the operating system.
However, if there is more than 16 GB of physical memory available on a computer, Windows 2000 needs 2 GB of virtual memory address space for system purposes and therefore can support only a 2-GB virtual address space.

I am GOING to build a new gaming computer In the next few months, cause my wife gave me the go ahead, lol. My budget will be 2000.00 dollors or so, I would like to know what people out here In cyberspace would reccommend for a gaming build for that budget.

Probably, I can't do this, by I feel like ranting...

I'm sure, some of you are aware of *censored* Comcast throttling policy.
I guess, it applies to some other ISPs, as well, but since Comcast is my ISP, I feel like giving them some...
Since January (I believe), Comcast does it officially.
It's two-way tier:

If you, or your neighbourhood exceed 70% of bandwidth limit for more than 15 minutes, they'll throttle your connection until bandwidth usage drops to below 50% for another 15 minutes.

It's pretty easy to see, if you visit http://www.speedtest.net/ at different times of the day.
My advertised speed is 15Mbps, but, if I test my speed, roughly between 5PM-10PM, I'm not getting more than 3-4Mbps.
When I test my speed after 10PM, it flies...often even over 15Mbps

...which pisses me off to the extreme...

Dear Comcast
I hope, you'll end up in *censored*!!
If those Idiots we send to Washington had any guts at all this would be illegal...as well it should be.I understand the reason you're upset about this. But, from a practical standpoint, does it really impact you? My DSL service is 1.5Mbps. For the life of me, I can't imagine why anyone needs 15Mbps unless they're just constantly downloading very large files, and I can't imagine why you'd need to be doing that.

BTW, how much does your Comcast service cost?Quote from: soybean on December 13, 2009, 09:08:30 AM

no he's "freaking out" because comcast promises one thing and delivers another.

It doesn't matter how much I pay, it matters what I pay for.

If you, or your neighbourhood exceed 70% of bandwidth limit for more than 15 minutes, they'll throttle your connection until bandwidth usage drops to below 50% for another 15 minutes.

Cable modem services can slow down significantly if many people in your neighborhood access the Internet simultaenously.

Hello All

I need your help with the following problem but however I do not know how this topic will be RECEIVED. Please also be keep in mind that I do not wish to get anyone upset, mad or make you feel uneasy. Also this topic may have come in the pass and that I maybe bringing up a touchy subject.

My problem is that I need some help in resetting the local administrator password. I am able to boot into safe mode and login as the administrator with the default password that came with the laptop.

Here is the scenario, I allowed my nephew to play some games and go on the internet (parental controls were in place) and one of the sites he decided to go to had INSTALLED a virus that norton did not pick up in which I was totally surprised. The virus had apparently silently disabled norton, the disk defragmenter, I believe check disk (the only reason why I say this is that it would work the one TIME then worked the next), and apparently had disabled one user and changed the password and changed the p/w on another in other words the administrator account. (if that is possible) never the LESS, it has caused quite of bit of chaos for me to try to fix.

As mentioned above I was able to boot into safe mode and login as the administrator and reset the user passwords because I was unable to login into the administrator account in normal mode.

First, my OS is windows xp home sp2

I have tried to RESEARCH this topic by googling but all the suggestions that I have found doesn't seem to have an affect.

I have tried:

1) Downloaded and installed a add-on for the local account manager to reset the admin p/w. results say it was completed but still can't login
2) tried the "control passwords2" command. again indications of using this command says the change worked but no luck
3)tried looking at the registry that was listed on the microsoft website, but the entries seem to match.
4)even bought a new hd for my laptop, reinstalled the system from the recovery CD that was provided but for some reason I cannot login into the administrator. (to me this doesn't sound right)

After trying to reset the admin p/w and then trying to login I received the following error message at the login screen "Unable to Log you on because of an account restriction"

I am now at a loss of what to do. I was thinking since the recovery CD that came with the laptop with everything working, that installing it on a brand spanking new hd would solve the problem. I don't care in reinstalling software and I always do my backups.

Can anyone help me on this matter.

I tried to be as clear as possible and have not confused anyone.

Any and all questions/comments are welcomed and appreciated

Regards

Kevin




Since you're able to get into safe mode have you tried creating a new account with administrator rights in Safe Mode and then log into that account in Normal mode. If that works you could then adjust the other account settings through users in control panel.

HERE IS MY PROBLEM:

Quote from: Cityscape on December 13, 2009, 01:24:01 PM

Windows XP and 2000 should have been paired as they are very similar.
And 98 and NT would have also been a better match.
What about ME? More people use that than 95.
DOS / 95 should not have even been a option.
Way more people use Mac or LINUX then Windows 95 or DOS.

Is that an ORANGE PEEL you can MAKE into COWBOY BOOTS?

What types of data would I include in a simple sytem backup of a typical home and business computer system.Often with most users they simply NEED to backup the files in the "My Documents" folder, this often will contain your document files, music files, video files, and other personal data. Try the below Mozy program, it'll actually select the common things you need to backup and BACK them up to their server so it's securely OFFSITE and it's a free 2GB.

http://mozy.com/home/freeThanks!!!In addition - it is my considered opinion that EVERYONE should use disk imaging software on a regular BASIS. If you create an image of your drive (or at least your system partition) you will be able to recover from almost any computer crisis with little or no pain & suffering. The image(s) can be saved to off-disk media or a second hard drive (the latter being the easiest and most convenient). I create 2 or 3 IMAGES a week, keeping the two most recent. In addition to the best of breed Acronis True Image, which is not free, there are a number of excellent free Disk Imaging Software options. In my opinion there is no reason or excuse for everyone not to use one.

i have a program for a cam on a floppy disc i NEED it CHANGED into a CD so i can use it on XPCopy it.i dont have a floppy -i need someone who does and can do it for me. i would MAIL it to them and they could e-mail me back.Why don't you go to some store like Kinko's and they'll copy it for you?i did not know they could do that!They USED to. I'm not sure about now, but give it a shot.

Not joined to long AGO but the help has been absolutely A1. Please KEEP it up. GLAD to hear you've been getting helped. Look forward to seeing you AROUND.

Bill Pytlovany the developer of the highly regarded WinPatrol HIPS will be offering the $29.95 PLUS version of WinPatrol on Friday 29 January, 2010. It's part of an experiment in pricing that Bill is trialling. Here is the full announcement from Bill:

"Have you noticed that most of the software you’re buying these days is only 99 cents?

The traditional software industry, like many, has been hit hard by slumping economic times. At least that’s what appears to be happening. I can’t help but notice traditional software distribution is in a state of flux not unlike the media and publishing industries.

The music industry which dealt with the downloading of free music has created a successful 99 cent per song model. Using mobile devices we’re now downloading decent software for as low as 99 cents. Who can’t afford an impulse purchase of $0.99. The Apple App Store made many new millionaires almost overnight at 99 cents a pop.

What about the rest of us who have spent years developing fully featured software on the Mac or Windows platform. Are customers going to revolt against prices which range from $30 like my own WinPatrol PLUS to programs like Photoshop which retails for $700?

I’m curious and thinking a crazy single day experiment could be FUN and may be worth the risk. So what the *censored*. If you want to upgrade to WinPatrol PLUS on January 29th, I’ll GIVE you a lifetime WinPatrol membership for less than a dollar. Instead of the regular price of $29.95 I’ll provide a coupon on WinPatrol.com that brings the price down to $0.99 USD. That comes out to approx. .70 € to our international friends

This will be a one-day only “experiment” starting at midnight EST on Jan 29th and will last 24 hours. Will over 30 times the normal NUMBER customers upgrade to WinPatrol PLUS? If so, will other software developers notice?

Like our current $30 plan, the 99¢ license will be good for life. Like sales in the App Store or Droid Market however, this license is only valid for a single computer. Coupons are also limited to one per customer. Sound fair enough? If you’ve been someday planning on upgrading to WinPatrol PLUS, January 29th is the day to remember. Just go to http://www.WinPatrol.com this Friday and you may be a part of history".

Pretty fail...a 1-day offer still active 4 days later?

no, it started on january 29th for 24 hours

Hi,

what's the difference between these two ?

Videos I make with my WEBCAM have .mpg file extension. Formats accepted by YouTube are mpeg2 and mpeg4, but not .mpg...
So there MUST be a difference in kind?no difference.

The only reason a file is ever given the "mpg" extension is because older file systems and operating systems are restricted to 8.3 filenames- that is, 8 letters, a period, and a three letter extension... in this case, MPG.

MPEG itself is really just an encoding standard; for example, an AVI file could use MPEG encoding.

if you need to, you should be able to simply rename the file in question to have an mpeg extension.yes, I may be confusing file- formats and codecs .

My cam makes videos that are stored as .mpg-files on my HARD disc.

When I want to put this on YouTube I have to put a codec on it, so to speak?



MPEG stands for moving picture expert group. It was a group of people from many companies to standardize the way video was handled for cable, satellite and computers.

The first VERSION was MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 are updates on how the encoding and compression is handled. Basically version numbers.sandra,

OK, so I have been doing this stuff for awhile and now to go ahead and get my certifications. Unfortunately the networks are easier to figure out to work than trying to figure out how to get the cert. So I was wondering if anyone would be willing to tell me how; step by step and point by point. Also an estimated cost breakdown would be nice to.

Thanks in advance!
ChrisWell I currently have my MCP certification (70-270, the XP test, usually the first you take for the MCSE/MCSA 2000/2003 line of TESTS, of which there is seven). They restructured everything for the 2008 tests (Vista and Windows Server 2008) so I couldn't help you much out there. However the way I did it was to buy an exam prep book, you can find them at any Borders or other bookstore, can also buy them online if you choose to.The other thing to look for...this is after you have read the book cover to cover and are just fine tuning your knowledge...is to do a search for "actualtests" or "testking" + test # + torrent in google. It is possible to pass the tests by just memorizing these but you won't really learn anything. The microsoft tests are pretty tricky in their questions. You usually have to read through a paragraph or two before you get to the actual question their asking. The testkings/actualtests will show you exactly what the test will be like, sometimes they are exactly like the test.

This has been occurring for the past few months...
During a video UPLOAD, the progress bar would either quickly fill or stop in the middle and freeze for a BIT and eventually I get the "upload failed" error. But when I look at "My Videos," it says "video processing, please wait;" either that, or "upload failed (aborted)" or something like that. Luckily, some videos successfully upload (despite the upload bar error messages), but most of them don't. Here is a weird case of a "failed" upload, which is still "processing"


I really want to know what the heck is going on... is this only happening to me, or has anyone else encountered this? I don't want to have to make another account because of this...What browser are you using?

I have not had any issues uploading video to youtube and yes, I have uploaded a lot of video

This is what I am doing to upload videos to youtube.

Quote

1. I am always using internet explorer to do the uploading (regardless of what other browser I may be using for regular use).

2. I am always using the Bulk Upload Plugin that youtube provides on their site to do the uploading. (If you've never used it before, it's just another way that youtube lets you upload to their website)

3. On rare occasion for me, youtube has taken more than 24 hours to PROCESS a video. But it is very rare for me.

hello,
wanted to ask for an opinion, ive god a pdf file with a password im trying to crack, ive been trying to use Advanced PDF Password Recovery but it could TAKE years,
however i do know the password is of 7 characters, FIRST one is an uppercase char, REST are LOWERCASE (="Xxxxxxx").
i couldnt limit the software search with the info above (which will make 26^7(=total up./low.case english chars^password's length), it can only make it a mix of chars (which is 52(=total up. and low. chars)^7), which will take about 2 years with my cpu (should take about 5 days with the search limit).
is there a way to limit the search ?
is there any other way you would recommend for me to crack the file?

thanks in advance

With Google's constant algorithm changes, SEO changes too. What will happen with SEO in the future? Will SEO keep changing or eventually bail out?

I just recently got married but I have to file single this year, I just need to file the EZ single Federal tax form.... can anyone tell me a site that is honest and or trust worthy to file from? Is Taxact,com trustworthy?http://www.irs.gov/efile/index.htmlThanks again Allen......Your AWSOME!Yes. Yes I am Taxact.com is just as trustworthy as turbotax.com and the IRS site. I've USED it the past 3 YEARS and have had no problems. Of coarse it's very misleading, because they advertise as the Federal PART being free, but then they ask if you would like to do your state too, and they wait till the very end to tell you it costs $14.95 for state. They also charge you another $14 or $15 to have the refund DIRECT deposited into your account. (That is unless you're paying in.) So after going from "free", to $30, it's still a good way to file online.

Hello, I'm in the process of researching and hopefully joining a college to study Game software development.
I can't say I know very much about it as of yet but I know it's something I'd be very interested in learning and making a career of.

I spent 2 years in college back in 2001 to 2003 for network engineering but it didn't go very well, due to real life issues I was forced out of the program early and wasn't able to return. I'm 25 now and really wanting to get back in to school.

I was wondering if anyone could share so websites or any type of information that I could study up on, to start things off. I'm a very self driven person and would like to learn as much as I can on my own while I find a way to get myself back into classes.

Any information is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.Hello,
please allow me to offer you some personal advice based on the comments you have provided. I like to be open and honest with all people, if I can. You have a very ambitious project. That is a good quality. And you are strongly motivated. At the age of 25, you have many options available to you. One of the things you need to do is to have some way of SUPPORTING yourself without spending too much time at work. So you need a job that will not take more than 40 hours a week and provide enough to meet your basic needs. Of course, I'm sure you're it had that in mind.
At your local college in your community there should be some free career counseling available to you. They can provide you with some general statistics on job opportunities, training, and REQUIREMENTS.
Before setting a target on a very specific software development, you may consider some broader areas of your field of interest. For example, many years ago I wanted to switch my field from general electronics to computer programming. So one of the things I did was to forget about my radio license and I got a certificate in as electronic technician. I used to work in broadcasting, but I could see that was too hard to advance with my talents. Meaning that my talents weren't that good but this boy was a great technician. So I got myself certified as a technician held a job for a while fixing television sets. Meanwhile, I did personal study on the new wave of personal computing. I trained myself in assembly language after I had built one of the early personal computers. Then we took off with a little trailer and went off to Silicon Valley and we camped in a state park all I would tramping around Silicon Valley looking for a job. I got into a place because I was a qualified technician, although I really wanted to do programming. So I started out as a senior technician and kept working my way around until they let me do some programming. So eventually I was working as a junior programmer, but my job title was still senior technician. My early attempts at trying to do college-level work just didn't seem to work for me. It was just too slow. And I needed to have money to pay for my expenses and help support my wife.
So, what I'm trying to say to you, is the flexible and make good use of what skills you are ready have. It may be hard to break into the field you want as it will take some file to get into it. By the way, I am bilingual and that MADE it easier for me in the workplace to communicate with people that had the language difficulties. I work for the fella that spoke Vietnamese, French and English. But his English was not very good. I didn't know any Vietnamese. And I didn't know enough French to to ood that I could sometimes convey ideas to him by using what skills I had. Anyhow, made a pretty good team. I would help him on technical things with a testing new machines we had and he would help me with drawing up patterns for new boards I would work on. The skills I had learned by learning another language were helpful in knowing how to communicate with him in a simple way.
So, what would that possibly have to do with computer game programming? A whole lot! If you have taken the trouble to learn another language and work with the people that speak another language you have overcome a very IMPORTANT barrier in getting into the computer game industry. The ability to work in another language and to deal with complicated documentation and take exact instructions from other people when it's hard to understand is a very important virtue in the computer game industry. The computer game industry right now requires people to be fluent in English, Japanese and French. Yes, in South East Asia French is a common language for many the people there. The big company is Nintendo. And they will expect you to be bilingual.
So, I hope that this gives you some food for thought. Find out what you're best at and use that to support yourself right now. And then figure some way which you can target your goal of computer game programming, if that's what she really wanted to.
As for networking, there are many jobs in the networking and IT industry. Just go take a look on the craigslist or on almost any IT job list and you will find there are many, many jobs in the network area. The jobs for computer game programming required very specific and very narrow of abilities in programming. But, have much broader requirements in social and communication skills, such as being bilingual and the ability to work with people from different backgrounds.
By the way, this is being done with speech recognition software. I am disabled for now, and am not able to hold down a full-time job in the IT industry. My ability to read and WRITE and spend long hours at typing code has now gone past.

so if you find my grammar kind of funny, I really don't talk that way. It's just a computer doesn't always understand. I really do speak fluent English.

My uncle told me that the PS3 can be modified to work with windows. Can anybody verify that?you can run Linux on the PS3, and EMULATE Windows from there, but I doubt you could install it natively.I'd have asked the Uncle....
Should be an interesting response.My question is why would you want to? I've got to think that the PS3 GAMES are designed to run BETTER on the PS3 than Windows games would.Quote from: rthompson80819 on December 16, 2009, 06:19:15 PM

My question is why would you want to?

hi,
i have an acer aspire 5732z
my FN keys (not sure if thats the right word...)(the key that you press along with something else to change volume, brightness etc) are working but when IM MAKING a change i cant see them on my LAPTOP screen

i havent downloaded ANYTHING lately so im not sure what brought on that change..

how do i get them back on my screen???Try uninstalling and reinstalling the Launch Manager applicationhttp://support.acer.com/drivers_download.aspx

Okay cool. Thanks for that guys. Im gonna take your advice and go for a SEAGATE or WD.
Just out of intrest, which out of them two would you guys go for?!
I was looking at an Iomega, but the one that was in my price range, and had the space is a NAS sorta principle. There is no option to connect it to my laptop via USB, which at the moment, is a problem as I dont have a router at Uni. Next YEAR when were in the HOUSE I shall, but for now it's a USB job
Thanks
Chris
xxDepending on the model not all WD drives carry a 5 year warranty...
Seagate does.I think I know what Chris's concerns were. I've never heard any hard numbers, but when the first 1TB drives first came out there were rumors of higher than normal failure rates. It probably had more to do with being the first generation of pushing the limits of technology than the size of the drive. As far as I know all those initial problems are solved.

I would imagine the same thing happened when ever a larger HD was introduced.Quote from: Geek-9pm on January 20, 2010, 06:28:44 PM

You are right. Bat about p picture you have on your posts? It is distracting.

And of course, manufacturing flaws. and issues with assembly; considering all the variables, it's a wonder that hard drives are as reliable as they are!

what is the language of a machine like a gameboy or nintendo ds is that visual basic?Like a gameboy or ds? Let me guess, you want to make your own videogame? You probably won't be able to homebrew games, but you can make funny versions of pokemon for the gba with advance map. no i mean is visual basic the language that drive the nintendo software... i'm asking here couse i'm not sureQuote from: pds on December 13, 2009, 09:22:15 AM

no i mean is visual basic the language that drive the nintendo software... i'm asking here couse i'm not sure

photoshop ds and paint ds

Wii they actually USE

Nintendo is one of the weirdest success stories in the world.

I wonder how many people own an UNDAMAGED nintendo ds or a Wii they actually USE.

NES, GBA (Christmas edition), DS (Christmas edition), Wii and DSi...all in perfect condition. I also have an original Playstation in great condition.

what is the language of a machine like a gameboy or nintendo ds is that visual basic?

I have a video up on youtube and need some help with the settings.

Wen I go to youtube without loging in I lookup my video as if I was SOMEONE els.

And I go down under my video to see if there is a Comment Box to write a Comment.

And I donot see it.

Then I just went there today and I do see were it says send a Comment and if I click on that Black word a Box opens under it that lets me Type a comment in.

So I gess it is there but can someone go to my video and send me a Comment to see if it gets to me?
Just go to YouTube and type biferi in the Search Box.

The video that comes up with a picture of Apples and a Window is my Video.

See if you can give my a comment.

And how do I Read my Comments PEOPLE send me and Reply???As far as I know you can only write comments on YT when you are logged in.Thanks but how can I see if anyone TYPED me a comment???
And how do I reply??

I am having trable with this?Under the video, you should see comments, if any were posted. If not, it'll tell you.

Can you POST a screenshot of what you're seeing on your computer? Maybe that'll make it easier to see what's GOING on that is not working for you to use youtube comments stuff. It works fine for me and I use it all the time and I can see when other people post on my videos.

eeexcellent...




[Saving space, attachment deleted by admin]just got, 70 KB/s = 71,680 bytes/s = 573,440 bite/s = 573.4 kbps

downloading a different version of VLC ( i got it right this time BC, so be nice )



edit: 573,440 bite/s 573,440 bits/s dude... For some reason I'm getting seriously fast downloads..

My latest donwload was:

290 KB/s So stated, Firefox

2375.68 kbps

That's like the maximum my DSL SPEED my ISP advertises.. 600 kb/sec is the highest speed i SAW on the download bar in idm (internet download manager)Quote from: EEVIAC on JANUARY 29, 2010, 05:55:57 AM

Carbon has to be getting 191 kbps, there's no way he could be getting 152,880 kbps (see my post above).. Assuming that you are stating an accurate speed approximation which I doubt, that would mean your download speed averages x10 faster than Carbon's..

Your stated speed: 2mb/s = 2,000,000 bits/s = 2000 kbps

Carbons likely speed: 19,110,000 bits/s = 191 kbps

You must be going off of what your router or ISP is telling you... Try downloading some files and NOTE the rate...

I am wondering why I cannot view files on a cd-r that I was able to view 20 minutes prior. I am able to tell that the files (photos) are still there via Isobuster DOWNLOAD but am unable to see the files WITHOUT purchasing more downloads from them. Because the CD is not finalised....
This is one of the great features of ISOBuster.

Until you finalise the compilation the CD will appear blank no matter what machine you use it on.Thanks for the response but I can see one photo? I have been viewing the photos on this cd-r for almost 2 years. Is the CD listed as blank, or what do you exactly mean by you can't see pictures?
Did you try the CD on another computer?I'm wondering, if the CD-R is dirty or SOMETHING.

Once, I was attempting installing a PROGRAM off a CD that I had bought few months back, and though FILE was in CD, the computer couldn't read it. Apparently, there was a smudge on the reading surface of the CD.

Don't know if this is your case, but ....

I have none COPY write VHS tapes I want to burn to DVD. Is it possible to connect a VHS recorder to a computer? or can anyone point me in the direction of someone who knows?

ThanksTypically, no, although there are a very few few video cards that have RCA input jacks.

The attached link is a RCA to USB converter that will work.

There are also some stand alone combo VHS/DVD units that are made for just what you are wanting to do that are in the $100+ range. If you have a LOT of tapes to transfer that will be the easiest way. Plus, after transferring the tapes you will have a DVD player.In REFERENCE to stand alone combo VHS/DVD units,

here's a llink on some of those. Hopefully they're helpful.

I'm assuming when you said VHS recorder, you mean VCR. Thanks for the info. Been trying to figure out how to do this.

Yes a VCR/VHS tapes.Maybe try a capture card... Those allow you to connect VCR to the computer, so you can capture VHS stuff to your hard drive, which then you can go burn it to DVD or whatever. (More links follow)

2. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yp-wp4Hx16Y

3. Try googling "VHS capture card"I was checking out the USB video etc. on ebay. It seems that everything related to this has to bought from Hong Kong. Wow.Quote

I'm assuming when you said VHS recorder, you mean VCR.

Actually, the term VCR refers to several types of video cassette recorders.

Once upon a time there was Beta, which died a slow death.

3/4" VCR's have been around for a long time, first as analog then most were converted to digital.

Plus, there are several subcategories like mini, etc.

VCR, isn't that the common term or what do you call it?

VCR (Video Cassette Recorder) is just a generic term that covers several types of video recorders.

VHS is by far the most common type of VCR and most people refer to them as just VCR's even though technically they are VHS VCR's

just read the following in the book, "The Old New Thing" I imagine that Mr. Chen has a blog entry about it as well.

Anyway, often you'll hear, "I really with MS had put on the install disc" this is probably why they don't

Why isn't TWEAK UI included on the Windows CD?

WE TRIED THAT. It was a disaster.
In the original version of Windows 98, a copy of Tweak UI was placed in an Extras folder on the CD. And it didn't take long for us to realize that this was a bad idea.

Because there was no explicit download step, where you could see the Web page and read all the warnings, people just ran the program and started fiddling with their settings. Some time later, their computer would start acting strange, and they would call the product-support lines to get help. The product-support folks would spend hours trying to figure out what happened, only to discover that the users had actually done it to themselves. For example, they would go into Tweak UI's Control Panel page and hide some Control Panel icons. A few weeks later, they would get an error message that SAID something like, "Cannot connect to your printer. Please go to the Wireless Link Control Panel and check your settings." But when they went to the Control Panel, there was no Wireless Link icon.

The product-support people are smart, but they aren't psychic. There are hundreds of reasons why the Wireless Link icon might be missing from the Control Panel. It could be a corrupted file. It might be that the infrared port is not being detected by PLUG and Play. Maybe the user has the wrong infrared driver. Or the infrared port is incompatible. The printer might be positioned at the wrong angle, or the air might be too dusty to establish a good infrared connection.

Tweak UI hides the Wireless Link icon by using Group Policy, which is a technique that is used by corporations to apply settings to all computers in their organization. But if a home user calls the product-support line, the product-support people won't even bother looking into Group Policy settings because home users don't use Group Policy. Group Policy is for corporations.

Only after exhausting the most likely reasons will the product-support TECH- nician be likely to say,"Hmm, I know this is a home computer and Group Policy shouldn't be set, but let's go check it anyway." Then they'll find that the policy has been set to hide the Wireless Link icon. "Oh, yeah, a few months ago, I used that Tweak UI program to hide some icons I wasn't using. Was that wrong?" The product-support person politely walks the user through reenabling the Wireless Link icon via Group Policy and concludes the service call. Based on feedback from the product-support team, the Windows team realized that putting Tweak UI on the CD was a horrible mistake; and when Windows 98 was updated as Windows 98 SE, one of the files missing from the CD was Tweak UI.
