Last MONTH, my old PC died. I was fortunate enough to be given a hand-me-down PC.
I have an iPod touch, and I want to MOVE the music from my iPod touch to ITUNES on the PC.
I then want to be able to download music on my PC, move it to iTunes then transfer it to my iPod without losing my CURRENT iPod music/files.

Since my old PC crashed, I am pretty SURE I did not have "manually managed music" selected.
I'd like to know, if possible, how I can move my music from my iPod touch to my new/used PC WITHOUT losing any of my current music on my iPod touch.
In other words, I want the iTunes on my new/used PC to synch with my iPod touch and then be able to download new music to iTunes and transfer it to my iPod as normal.

Is this possible? What are the steps?
Thanks.http://www.mydigitallife.info/2006/07/16/copy-or-transfer-music-and-songs-from-ipod-to-pc-and-computer-without-itunes/

toshiba satellite laptop, lost cord, battery dead, went to wal-mart to purchase new adaptor but when they plug it up still no power. power switch light comes on for a SECOND then goes off. is it a short or something?Have you TRIED taking it to a repair shop first? We won't know what happen to that laptop without more information first hand. Its also knowing if the hardware laptop is worth reviving on your part.When you say battery dead --is it possible that it can be RECHARGED or is it not able to be recharged. What happens if you (with your new ADAPTER plugged in) don't turn the laptop on but only permit a CHARGING function on the battery. Obviously with the "dead" battery in it's place. truenorthGeneric charger...they rarely work on laptops.

I have a toshiba laptop I continually down load movies and such the problem I am having is when I LEAVE the computer it STARTS hibernating the problem with that is all my downloads stop until I come back on I LOOKED in the shutdown there is a sleep and a hibernate and none of them do the trick and NEITHER does just leaving the computer I want to be able to continue the down loads when I leave my computer thank you for any help

What is a File Zilla? Since I was not getting connected to a particular site on the net, I was advised by someone to download this FileZilla and then proceed. Accordingly (without any knowledge) I have DOWNLOADED this FileZilla. But there are so MANY instructions etc.

What is the use of this?

Is it safe to use this?

How to proceed ?

[ Mine is Windows7 OS]
Any help will be appreciated.

What is the use of this?

I just left the 'to do list' asking if there is a section of the forum DEDICATED to DISCUSSION concerning smart phones and the tech issues they add.

I do have a question specific to my droid regarding apps (are they all safe) and security (is it safe to use more than 1 security APP)? Questions SIMILARLY to a PC. 1) I have a Droid-X. Before DOWNLOADING any apps I "Google" them and read reviews on the Android Forums.

2) I don't use ANY security apps on the phone. From what I have read they are both unnecessary and a drain on the phone's battery.Going to google 'Lookout' now. Thanx

hello all,

i get the options, but when i move to click one it TURNS off -

what am i doing incorrectly ?
and how do i accept private messages ?

have a NICE weekend !Here?

I discovered my new passion and that is photography. I would like to buy a dslr camera but I don't have any idea what is good for beginners like me. I HOPE someone can advice me something.What's your budget?$1K, will it make sense?I would stick to the major brands like NIKON and CANON. With that budget you could buy a good Nikon in the $500 to $600 range with a body with one lens and still have some money left over for an extra lens and accessories.Sony also make great cameras.

Can you read this?

I lost or forgot my password to a site I seldom visit.

Then they want me to read this so I can get the password.

I fail and fail time and again. I need some help in knowing how to read this. I am a sight reader, but also can read phonetically, but neither SKILL can help me here.

What am I doing wrong?
Well, these things can drive PEOPLE crazy sometimes. Here's what I see in that captcha:

havicli myth,

Apparently, a comma is that last character but I wouldn't bet on my interpretation of any captcha. I don't recall seeing PUNCTUATION marks used in them so I may be wrong about the comma; maybe it's just stray mark ADDED to confuse people. I also see havicli myth, and I too am uncertain about the comma. I would expect the site to say something like "Please enter the characters you see including any punctuation" if such was liable to appear.
If I were you, and had problems seeing the captcha, I would just click on Audio to get an audio challenge.Many of the sites that use captcha have a button that lets you retrieve another group of letters, and I've had to do that several times when I couldn't make out what the letters were. Some of them are very difficult to read even if you have good eyesight.Capchas can be terrible to decipher if you are using an LCD screen at other than native resolution.
Thanks fellows.
I finally decided to just get a new hotmail account.

And this time I ignored spaces and figures scrambled beyond human recognition. And it worked. I will just forget my old account.

As for the audio, I must have seven audio codes on this machine, and it tells me to down load another player for a WAV file. Like I never before ever played a WAV file? An the audio was at first clear, then very poor.

There has to be a better way.

Maybe it should ask you to open your microphone -

"You are my Sunshine."

Hello everyone,
I would like some help concerning the CmpTIA certification, i am currently interested in A+ CompTIA certification, can someone PLEASE direct me to a website where i can register, pay and study online. Or do i have to go to a CompTIA Training Center?
I would like to study at my own pace via online and then write the CompTIA Exams and receive the certificate up on completion.

Thanks TRY BrainBench///Thanks Patio,
I guess Brainbench is more of a Testing center instead of what i am really looking for, a website where training and testing is offered followed by a certification, up on completion.

More help is appreciatedLino124

Not sure if you have found your answer yet but there are a number of online courses out there. Just check with local colleges and learning centres, just be careful as some of them are just terrible. There are a few places that are even boot camp, these places are very pricy. go to www.comptia.org and register and you get more information. The site even has an area where you can do pratice exams. due a google search and see where if there a local learning centre near you, try to find some books. I myself did an online course and used a couple of books which helped get my A+ Cert.

Hope that helps.Just remember that completing a course does not mean you will be CERTIFIED. I know there are some places that offer the course (correspondance as well) and then say that you are qualified.
This is not the case, you must write the International Exam - at a recognised testing center.
The CompTIA site should give you all the relevant informationSorry to BUMP this but as a noob I didn't want to start a new thread

I have been volunteered by my manager to do a comp tia course for our department. The last person they trained left to have a baby and never came back, so as it currently stands nobody in my department is comp tia certified.

I don't want to let everyone down, is this a fairy easy course to pass?

Thanks

Is there a specific job requirement that you need the A+ for?

You'd do well to get a more specific cert; like watchguard or SONICWALL or cisco ceritifications.If you are a working IT Tech, then you will find the course easy, but if you have no IT experience it can be quite daunting.
I think that a cisco certification is a little more challenging than A+I had experience before I considered doing my CompTIA A+. To prepare, all I did was buy a book and read through it. CompTIA A+ Certification for Dummies actually. It was quite well written and explains all the stuff you need to know. There are other books out there like that, but make sure you get one that covers the new tests (they changed the test 3 or 4 years ago). I took mine while they were still on the older, easier test.

Hey guys im looking to buy a tablet pc and im wondering if anyone has any reccomendations?

Im looking for something with a touch screen and a keyboard , preferatbly with a seperate touchpad too. something like the Toshiba Protege M200. It also has to have some DECENT specs (>1.5GHz) and must be ready to install an os to (i have linux PUPPY , slax , ubuntu whatever) .

I DO NOT want an android.

Im open to offers too CNET has a review and compares other tablets.
http://reviews.cnet.com/Toshiba_Portege_M200_tablet_PC/4505-3126_7-30596988.html

CNET seems to favor the Motion LE1600. I have no idea, but the price is outside of my comfort zone.
Anyway, here is short video of it ...

The guy also gave me a spare BATTERY with it so 2x3hour runtime

well chuffed If you don't want android then the best thing would be to go for Dell (http://www.dell.com/ca/p/inspiron-duo/pd). Their tablet pc has Windows 7 and is duo convertible which is something in the middle between a netbook and a tablet.

hello over the years i have downloaded that much crap and i dont know whats what anymore , i WANT to delete everything except what the pc NEEDS to run , only like i say i dont whats what ? i want it to be as if i just bought it home from shop , is this possible ? if so , how ?



thanks adamIf you recieved a set of Recovery CD's with the machine boot to the recovery CD and run setup...
This will take the machine back to Day One status.

NOTE: All your data and apps will be GONE so backup what you need...no i dont have the cd s , is there any thing else i can do thanks You can purchase a retail copy of an OS, boot to that disc, format and install. As mentioned by patio above, be sure to backup all critical data first.Also CHECK your Owners Manual...you may have a hidden Recovery partition which will accomplish the same thing...
Instructions will be on the manuf. site.Quote from: adam74 on APRIL 23, 2011, 06:35:18 AM

hey i'm just wondering where a 13 year old kid can start learning loads about computers. i mean, i understand them fairly well, just want to get into some FANCY stuff

i think that they're really cool and i'm really interested in programming and hacking. things i don't understand are things like proxies, ip addresses, and all that jazz. while i wait for an answer, i shall GOOGLE my answers! and i apologize i think i put this under the wrong topic sorry BOUT that!I think you got it right in your second post. Google the SUBJECT in which you are interested and go from there.Get an old or used computer and try your hand at installing windows, getting drivers, just testing things out and messing things up and trying to fix them.

I think I started on computers when I was around your age, maybe younger and that's mostly what I did. I had my own PC that I would constantly re-tweak DOS and SCREW around with the drivers, etc. (we didn't have windows back then).

Can the WonderWall Projector be connected to a laptop for presentations? ThanksDo you have any specific model in mind?I was wondering the same THING. The projector also goes by the Shift3 XL-90 name.
I was hoping to use it with my Dell mini for informal powerpoint presentations.

Any thoughts on if it will work or what adapting CABLES I would need???

Thank you for your time.

Here are the "specs" ... With its on-board inputs you can easily connect your media components to the Wonderwall™ projector via the included A/V cable. Enjoy full color video from TV, DVD players, VCRs, video game consoles, camcorders and more. It features three A/V inputs, built-in stereo sound with adjustable volume, contrast and color controls, audio out, manual focus lens, and utilizes a standard 50W/12V MR-16 halogen bulb for hours of supersized fun. Includes a pivoting bracket/carry handle for easy picture adjustment, AC adapter and cooling fan. Measures 14" L x 9" W x 11" H.
Technically, you COULD do this IF you can output your video to a TV monitor. For example, my Dell 1525 has an S-Video out port, and I bought a cable that adapts S-VIDEO to the RCA plugs which then goes into my TV (or my WonderWall).

Whether your laptop's video card supports this is the real issue, and it's not always easy to find.

Next though, have you ever seen the projection PUT out by the WonderWall? I've found it OK for instances where resolution isn't a priority (e.g. watching Disney movies), but I'd be concerned about projecting text or any small details in a presentation.

If I could suggest one other option: you could create a CD or DVD of presentation (there are programs available that can, for example, create a DVD from a Powerpoint document). That way a simple DVD player could show the presentation, but this would not get around the resolution and low brightness of the Wonderwall.The quality wont be high at all... small text will be HARD to read.

This is moreso related to the dots per inch than resolution, however, its a combination of both.

It certainly would work, however, it wont be the greatest looking thing on earth.
Should work fine for video. Just in case any others are wondering on how to do this...I did get it to work but as I assumed from reviews of the projector; the quality was very low. I purchased a PC to TV converter at Radio Shack ($60) because I couldn't find a simple cable any where local in time for the presentation.

I would not use it for powerpoint again except for an emergency (as was my case in the beginning of all this) but it does work good for games, movies, slide shows, ect. We often race at tracks without power so it will be nice to charge up the laptop and watch a movie in the trailer.You would need an adapter like one of these, http://www.amazon.com/VideoSecu-VGA2TV-Computer-Presentation-Converter/dp/B000X3FAJU

I would agree that the image quality would not be that great.

Your better bet would be to get something like a micro projector that has VGA connection like the AAXA M2 http://www.amazon.com/AAXA-M2-Micro-Projector/dp/B004BM2OS4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1302800831&sr=1-1

What is CLUSTER ? Advantages & featuresWarning SENT for posting nonsenseQuote

A computer cluster is a group of linked computers, working together closely thus in many respects FORMING a single computer.

Not really a question for the virus board as there is nothing that needs solving.
I read on a totally different SITES board another way to check for viruses or suspect FILES was to -
"Boot the computer in safe mode and do a search for everything created within a few days before the virus arrived.
Delete everything in any user folder (except known good docs and photos) together with any odd program folders".
Now, whilst l myself always use this site, l'm just questioning that statements validity. What exactly is a user folder then?
If l do a search, l get the following paths ------
C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\.......etc
C:\Documents and Settings\\Recent\...................etc
C:\Documents and Settings\\Local Settings\............etc
C:\Documents and Settings\\Favorites\............etc
- and so on.
Surely these are all user folders and if everything was deleted, then that would cause ONE big headache!
Could someone please confirm whether l am reading this right.
ThanksIgnore the information from the other board. It's not only wrong, it's stupid.Thanks for the quick reply Allan (just as l thought!)
Can you just confirm though, those paths that l LISTED that have my name in them, are they classed as "user folders" (sorry if that's a dumb question)
RegardsC:\Documents and Settings\username
is the user folder. Everything within that are user's folders.Many thanks Allan.
Over and out!
RegardsYou're welcome.

And btw - correct military radio parlance is simply "out", not "over and out". Just a bit of totally unnecessary information I thought I'd pass on (I was responsible for the battalion command net back in my days in the service).

Hi...I am new to this forum and have a question. I have looked everywhere for HELP but don't know where to go.

I have a flashing vertical line coming up on my SCREEN for no reason. Whenever I click on the screen for whatever site I am on the flashing line appears. It sometimes look like a giant insertion point and sometimes its small. Does anyone know what this is and how to get rid of it?Same problem in Safe Mode?

Download System Information for Windows (SIW free version)
No INSTALLATION required.

After it scans your computer, navigate to Hardware>Sensors and POST all info from there.

Thanks!



Uploaded with ImageShack.usTemperatures look fine.

You didn't answer:
Same problem in Safe Mode?
I haven't tried in safe mode.Well....Sorry about that...I did safe mode and I am not having the problem.I also wanted to mention that when I DOUBLE click the line goes away. Doesn't know if that will help.Since you're not having the issue in Safe Mode, I suspect, simple video driver reinstallation may solve your problem.Okay.....thank you so much for taking the time out to help me, I really appreciated! Let us know, how it went...

My fiance never USED Twitter or Yahoo Messenger on her phone at all. I signed on both sites under mobile, but can't sign out. I click on "Sign out", but all it does is refresh. I didn't store her mobile number under my settings for Twitter either. That SPACE is blank. She's not able to USE Yahoo Messenger mobile or Twitter mobile, because it won't let me sign out.

ok so my laptop screen is boken its shatterd but i need to get FILES from it. so i have TRIED connecting the cable form my monitor from my pc to the laptop and it works fine it loads the laptop start up screan but as soon as the windows music plays and gets to when i have to enter my pasword the monitor turns off looses connection.
i want to no if there is a solution i have tried pressing fn + f5 but it does nothing plzzzz help me Each laptop is different.On mine if is :
Fn F8
to toggle LCD /CRT.
What is the MAKE and model of your laptop? Do you have the MANUAL?its a toshiba satellite p300 and i think its f5 as there is a picture on the key of a computer. i dont understand though why it works at the start then cuts off as sooon as windows loads By default it is off after POST.
Look in your manual. You can not just hit F5, it has to be an extended function key. The regular keys are reserved for windows and programs. The extended function is done with a special key you have to press while you hit the function key. This is climacteric to laptop computers.thanks for the help but i dont have the manual any more so i guess just will have to get the screen fixed. thankyou Your Manual should be available as a DLoad online from the manuf. site...ive been told to try and put it on sleep mode could this help?? No.

I have AIM on my iPhone. It works ok but when I have the PROGRAM displayed on my screen and I receive MESSAGES fine. However when I go to my normal iPhone screen I don't receive audio or visual notification that I have a message, even THOUGH I am STILL logged on. Any ideas???

Hope you have a Great One...

And many more....

I wasn't sure exactly where to post this, so if it needs to be redirected, let me know.

If you are using Office 2003, you will see that there is a folder named "OFFICE11" in your INSTALLATION location. For example, in my case it would be:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office

There is no folder named "OFFICE12" in there. But I've seen some computers where the user has Office 2003 installed, but along with "OFFICE11" folder, there is also folder named "OFFICE12" in there.

I couldn't find out why that folder is in there. Could anyone explain?

My best guess would be that the users must have installed SOMETHING belonging to the 2007 version of Office.
What files do the OFFICE12 folder contain?OFFICE12 folder is related to Office 2007. There are probably install files in there. Also probably has something to do with the compatibility pack for office 2003 to read office 2007 files, if you have that installedThere important programs for office 2003

DO not DELETE!The Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack installs the folder "Office12". This allows those with Office 2003 products to view files in Office 2007 format. This is a very USEFUL, and free, software update. It may be found at:

Hello all!

Three weeks ago I was playing a game of Solitaire when my computer went click and I said to myself "My computer just shut down! But how can that be, I still have graphics! And my mouse can move the cursor! Very strange!" I kept on playing and then it happened again. Click, whir down, whir up. Then again and again until Windows shut down and gave me a stop error.
The first thing I did was to backup my most recent work and then I researched the stop error. The next day I was told that what I was hearing was my harddrive stopping and starting so I researched that. Thanks to the advice I have found in old threads I have spent three weeks running Malwarebytes, SAS, Kaspersky's Rescue disk, HJT ( then I learned how to read a HJT log), the manufacturer's diagnostic on my harddrive, Memtest (both of these passed), removing peripherals and programs (although I never did find a way to disable caching or shadowing), and researching the various stop errors I have gotten in the process. During this process it has had periods of running just fine and then all of a sudden it starts misbehaving again.
It has done the Click, whir down, whir up (or not even back up again) in normal, safe and even with prewindows disks like Recovery Console. The click sound is EXACTLY the last sound you hear when your computer shuts off so I think it is the computer stopping and starting not the harddrive. This has lead me to believe that the Windows errors are the result of a hardware issue. If my logic is incorrect someone wiser than I should set me straight on this.
Since my harddrive and memory both passed I started thinking about the Power Supply Unit. Then I started thinking about one year ago when I GOT this computer.
When I first got it I set it up, checked it out and turned it off. Awhile later I passed the room and it was on again. I figured that I must have hit restart so I shut it down again, paying close attention to what I was doing, but after an hour or so it came back on again. I researched it but never found an answer so I just got in the habit of shutting off the power bar. When you restore power it turns on, does a self test and turns off again (according to the IBM SITE this is correct procedure) and I must turn it back on to use it.
Then yesterday a new development. I got it going and it seemed to be fine but when I shut it down, turned off the monitor and stood up, it turned on again!
There is no burning smell which I read is a major indicator of PSU trouble.
I just don't know what to do next. Any thoughts?
Sure sounds like PSU to me.
I know very little about Power Supply Units. I was given a computer sans a harddrive that I can steal the PSU from. Are they universal or are there compatibility issues. I don't know how to swap a PSU but I suppose I can learn. I just don't want to fry anything, including me!Quote from: techgranny on January 30, 2011, 02:52:21 PM

Neither one is a Dell but now you have me wondering why it would matter. I am a very curious person!

I’m glad I asked! If I swap this PSU successfully I probably would think I know everything I needed to know about the subject and wouldn’t bother asking for future projects. Is Dell the only one who got creative or are there other dangers that you know of lurking around the corner? Also, since the PSU I want to use is in a custom build is it possible that it may be Dell?

Here is a print screen of the folder:


What can I do? What programme can I use to open it? She wants to know if she broke her foot differently to last time.

Thanks!Have her call the Doc and find out how the images were made...

Your SCREENSHOT does not show the file extension...Open the file with notepad or a hex editor. READ the first few characters. Google them. Find out the file type and program used to open it.Isn't there a viewer program on the CD? This is quite usual.

not very useful

Unfortunately, no. If my memory recalls. as soon as the CD folder showed up there was a folder, then another folder, then another folder than this folder. I copied the items in the last folder and copied them to my external Hard drive

BobbyHello, and welcome to the FORUM. Here's an article which may help: http://www.ehow.com/how_6675127_convert-vhs-tapes-digital.html. Other ARTICLES on ehow.com: http://www.ehow.com/convert-vhs-to-computer/Thanks Soybean, have a good day

I know a lot of people love to hate Microsoft, but they just went the extra mile to help me out so the LEAST I can do is give them a good word.

I’ve been using Microsoft Security Essentials [MSE] antivirus for several months because it’s had such good reviews. It’s been GREAT until two weeks ago when I noticed the program wasn’t running for some reason.
No problem, I though, just start it manually…………………. ‘ERROR – program will not start’.
OK, I thought, Reboot…………. still won’t run.
Re-install?.............. ‘ERROR – installation cannot be completed’.
Unistall?............. ‘Removal cannot be completed’.

After fruitless Googling for remedies, I put in a support request on the MSE web page. The next day I got an email from Microsoft Customer Support with detailed troubleshooting instructions. Unfortunately, none of it helped, so I let them know. They sent another long list of fixes to try, and then another, and then another. Each time I worked through their suggested fixes, but always received error messages or other problems.

Their final email asked me to name a date and time that a technician could telephone me. Puzzled, but willing to try anything, I agreed on a 2-hour window the upcoming Friday. Sure enough, a technician called, told me he could remotely access my machine and troubleshoot the problem.

To make a long story short, the technician spent the next 4 hours sorting through program and system files and what seemed like a HUNDRED registry keys, making sure everything was OK and finally deleting and re-installing the program, downloading new virus SIGNATURES and initiating a scan.

So, say what you will about Microsoft; I was very impressed that they would devote that much personal attention to one customer to support a free program. Thank you, Microsoft, for super support!

Good post. Thank you for sharing that.
Now it I could get..
the local Social Security Office ..
to give me that kind of attention Unlike most people, I actually have nothing against Microsoft. They have some of the best customer service I've ever used. I was pretty surprised the first time I ever called them; I had lost the product key and they gave me a new one after verifying that I had a legal copy of the game. Nice and simple. I've had a few run-ins with them, legal and otherwise, but I feel like they've redeemed themselves plenty over the years. They've also got some great PR's over there, and I'm not just saying that because they give me free stuff (although it certainly helps).When I first saw the topic title, I thought it was sarcastic and the post was going to be a rant

Some of you might remember i posted a question about goot TABLETS to buy and i got some redirects from that BUT when i saw an AD for an RM Tatung Tablet for £60 , i couldnt resist. So i bought that and IM now using it in school and at home too/ Its great for taking notes and red alert 2 is very good as a BREAK filler.

Everything is working , OS fully installed and all features appear to work (including the function buttons!) and after a wee bit of playing with microsoft journal i decided to install red alert 2 onto the tablet , which worked fine , so i ventured deeper into games that could work. Age of Empires 1 + 2 , Tropico 1 , Microsoft Tablet Power Toys (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/tabletpc.mspx) , inkball games like that.

Those all worked absolutely fine! so i ventured EVEN DEEPER

I then started to find some things start to slow down a bit:

Homeworld 2 - lowest settings - slow but not unplayable
Warrior Kings - works fine on lowest setting but cant use right mouse button

Heres the specs of the tablet

900MHz Intel Celeron
512MB RAM (upgraded)
40GB HD
S3 IV Graphics (OpenGL / Direct3D / not sure about DirectX)

tablet runs Red Alert 2 very very well. I can successfully run Warrior Kings and Homeworld 2 (but framerates are choppy) BUT the right mouse button does not work with a tablet (right click is difficult with my tablet since it doesent have a right mouse button button so i can only click and HOLD which isnt suitable at all for rts games.

Up till now ive been using RTS Games.org (http://rtsgames.org/) and im still browsing it. but now im looking for suggestions. What games were good and which were bad back in 1995 > 2003 pc wise XD

So basically the only requirements is that game has to be mouse only (point/click type interface) no use of shift key or ctrl key or whatever. just pure mouse control.

Age of empires worked with right mouse button but i changed it to work with only left mouse button by selecting the option in the options menu (single button mouse i think it was) , just FYI

Thanks in advance,

jimbo8098You could try earlier Command & Conquer games as well- Tiberian Dawn, Red Alert 1, Tiberian Sun, etc.it hasn't been released yet, but I hear there will be a game of Perigon you'll be able to play.

So I know SOMETIMES the computer sensors shouldn't ALWAYS be trusted, but just in case it's POSSIBLE, could my computer actually be running like this?
The -12V and -5V seem kinda... ridiculous.


Voltages:

+3.3V=3.26 V

+5V=5.08 V

+12V=11.78 V

-12V=-3.97 V

-5V= -7.17 V

I have a dell inspiron 570 that's only 3 months old. When I turned it on this morning it worked fine. I had to turn it off to go to an appt and when I came HOME and turned it BACK on it WOULD not recognixe either the mouse or keyboard. I tried connecting them in different usb slots but to no avail I contacted dell and that was a waste of time. Right now I am USING an old dell 2350. I need some help. Both the mouse and keyboard came with the 570.Get a RMA ( Return Merchandise Authorization) from Dell.
Do it today.
Send it back.

Hello All

I am having difficulty in trying to figure out a problem, I was given an older compaq system that has been preloaded with windos xp home sp2. The computer works fine but my intention was to take the hd out of the case and put it into a more powerfull system. I didn't want to reload anything upon doing that, during the post i will the options to boot into safe mode, load with last known good configuration...

Upon either SELECTING the last known or safe mode options, the system will boot back to the same screen. If I put the hd back in the original system, everything works fine.

Can SOMEONE suggest what I am either:

-overlooking
-what needs to be changed
-options

Thanks in advance for the help.you cannot take a hd from one system, put it in another, and expect it to boot. You need to reinstall the OS. Allan

While there is some point of view in which are correct that I cannot see, I will have to disagree with you on that. Simply for the following reason but first here is the scenerio, my previous mobo died along with the processor. the hd was fine, so I bought a new barebones kit, INSTALLED my hd and pressed the button. low and behold everything worked fine with the exception of reinstalling some drivers. and this was a year and half ago and till this day i have not had any problems with the hard drive with exception of some general maintenance. (by the way this is the computer I work on everyday)

I am open to any/all suggestsionsDuring the installation of the OS, the hardware components of your system are noted and copied to a file in the OS. If you then remove the hd and put it in another system, the OS will not boot. But please, feel free to disagree to your heart's content.Quote from: kevin4174 on April 03, 2011, 02:14:19 PM

Hello All

This is the first TIME seeing this error message while copying a file. What I am doing is trying to copy some avi FILES from a cd to my HD and while copying the file i recevied the following error.

Cannot copy file/data: Data Error (cyclic redundancy check)

Is this a os problem, a ram problem and/or disc problem

Also while copying some files, the system becomes sluggish to respond

Running Winxp pro sp3
4 gigs ram
120 WD 7200 rpm hd

You should consider the problem as a fatal error. Not fatal to you OS, but the data is CORRUPTED beyond reasonable recovery.

But, here are a few this you can try with hardware.
1. Get a new CD reader. or borrow one.
2. Go to a local Drugstore and buy a kit to polish the surface of the CD. Sometimes that really works.

Otherwise, trying to override the CRC in software will almost always often give you trashed data.http://www.wikihow.com/Copy-a-File-and-Ignore-Cyclic-Redundancy-Check-ErrorsGeek-9pm

So are you suggesting that the data on the cd has become corrupted and unrecoverable?

How does this happen as I am unsure. Can you explain. is it age of disc? Is this this machine ? ?

If so why does the advice not work ? ?patio

there was nothing wrong with advice. I was just MERELY making sure I understood the what was said correctly thats all.

I have an aim account (ptownRan-----) and an aol account (ptownRan-----).
The aim account came about when aol took over netscape. The problem. I never signed up for ptownRan---- and it's not an official aol account. Someone has hacked into it and using it. The return emails show up in my aim account.

Is ptownRan------ the same as ptownRan------? Can I delete the ptownRa------ without it affecting my aim account? The catch 22 - I can't contact aol because I don't officially have an aol account. If I'm able to delete the aol account, how do I do that. I've tried several different methods and can't connect because I don't have an official account. Many thanks.

Multiple email addy's TEDIOUSLY removed to prevent SPAM...They are essentially the same thing, they use the same mail service it's just that the DOMAIN the email is REGISTERED under is different. You could create a new AOL account to contact them on this. If they are unable to help you, and you are unable to find out how to delete the AOL account, if possible you can try blocking the address the return emails come from.Thanks for your help. So if the domain is different, can I delete the aol account without affecting my aim account? Also, since the aol account's return emails are showing up on my account, do they have ACCESS to my aim account? You're talking about AOL Mail and AIM as though they were the same thing. They are not. AIM means AOL Instant Messenger. So, I don't know why you're even mentioning here, since your issue is email, not IM (Instant Messaging).

Thermal compound applied properly ? ?
All MBoard standoffs in place ? ?
New or used PSU ? ?I didnt add any extra thermal compound to the cpu. there was all ready some on it. (that is the only plac I know to put any)

THe psu is brand new.

MB standoffs- what EXACTLY are you referring too? I know a lot but not all the terms.

Thanks. yes. i actually left two out because it felt it was pulling down to hard. the rest are in the proper spots. i used silver screws with the back thread so they would not spin out. Release all the torque on that board...it shouldn't be that tight...and replace the 2 you left out...Quote from: stalesweetness on March 31, 2011, 07:10:29 PM

I was thinking about it for a bit, but I think that Microsoft originally started including IE with Windows for more reasons then to increase it's browser market share- I mean, think about it- if you don't have a browser- how can you go an download one? You would need to go and buy one or download one somewhere else and bring it home, much easier with a built-in browser.Quote from: BC_Programmer on March 15, 2009, 09:37:09 AM

Without codecs? I bet it's that Microsoft finally decided to include codecs into WMP so that you don't have to go picking up one.

Unpin from taskbar, you can do that for internet explorer for any normal windows operating system. What I meant was you could go to features and disable it so that your PC will never use internet explorer and that there's no sign internet explorer exists unless you renable it.

Unpining from taskbar I think just removes the icon but PC can still access internet explorer, you can still find it and whatnot

Did Windows NT 4.0 come with any sort of browser?

which is only one, admittedly.
