My FRIENDS computer was not working and they called a guy from geeks on call. He said it was the motherboard so he changed it and it still doesnt WORK. When you turn the computer on it runs for about 30-45 seconds then it just shuts off. And when you try to turn it on sometimes it will give four BEEPS before it runs and shuts off. Its an intel board so i know the beeps mean its either the timer or its not getting the first 64KB of memory to load. I dont no what the problem is. Any of you have an idea of what it could be.Any INFO on what components we're working with here ? ?Also, count beeps.I did count the beeps. I got it fixed thank you. BTW it was a short in her tower.Thanks for posting back.

Just curious as to what connections PEOPLE are using while at school or work.

I've spent the last HOUR downloading different MIDI files and putting them in different folders. Now, I've accidentally deleted the folder, deleting all of the files......
Does anyone know a way I can re-download items that show on the Download Page under Tools --> Downloads?
Because right now I have to right click and copy the filepath and download it like that...I have about 200 more to do....
Anyone know a faster way?Aren't they in RECYCLE BIN?

OK my COMPUTER TURNS on but i can't see the SCREEN. what should i do?YES...See Here.

Hey Friends, I would like to know how you would remove Invalid STARTUP entries from your PC. I UNDERSTAND that when you uninstall programs from Add and remove that they will not always be removed from your start up list and slow down your PC.C:\Documents and Settings/User Name/Start Menu/Programs/Startup...
Careful what you remove.ok, I OPENED the start up and nothing was In folder? Get Autoruns: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/Utilities/AutoRuns.mspx
Click on "Logon" tab, you'll SEE all your startups.
You can check, uncheck, DELETE, whatever you want.
Just be careful!!

hello everyone ,asking a little help here at the smart place how i can get password for windows movie which was download from torrent's site but avoid stupid mandatory acts from third part to get it like moviecode.net and the so on would REALLY appreciate even SMALL hint or SHARE an experience. AbadonaWe can't help you here with those KIND of questions.

What do you usually use to connect to the internet? I realize many people might have different connections, but pick the one you use the most often.Hmmm, anybody out there actually using ISDN? I gave that serious consideration years ago before either cable or DSL became available here. Even bought an ISDN modem on ebay. Shortly after, DSL became available. I switched from dialup to DSL and never used that ISDN modem. ISDN was QUITE expensive, as I RECALL, and only about 2 to 2 1/2 times faster than dialup.ISDN..........................BetaMax
ADSL..........................VCR.

I got me a 20Mb Cable connection... 'Tis awesome lol.I've got ADSL 2.5Mb down/512Kb up. Not the fastest available, but it serves my needs.DSL, 2Mb down, 256k up.
Would switch to a 24Mb down, 2Mb up, but it takes 3 weeks, during which time I would only have dial up internet access.
As it is, 2Mb is usually sufficient.I don't see Telepathy in the choice list...Quote from: PATIO on December 15, 2007, 11:38:45 AM

I want to change the microphone hook up to output audio instead of inputing audio. Basically I want to plug in speakers to the port and have audio come out. Is it possible? if so how? please email me with answers as I have limited internet access.Only if it's supported by the sound card.

For example, my card changes its jacks depending on what I have my speaker settings at. There are 4 jacks:

2/2.1 or headphones - speaker out, line in, line out, mic
5.1 - front, rear, sub and CENTER, mic
7.1 - front, mid, rear, sub and center

Your card must be designed to do this. Check the documentation or manufacturer's website for your card. You didn't specify what the card is, so there's no way I could tell you.how do I find out what kind of sound card I have?Quote from: northidahofisher on December 17, 2007, 11:19:38 AM

Hello,


I have been trying ever since I GOT this laptop to be able to RECORD tv programs onto my laptop. I want to be able to not only record some programs saved on my SATALITE dvr, to my laptop (so i can WATCH them whenever I want) but to also record my trip with my autistic son from my camcorder onto dvd (my laptop can burn dvd's). Can ANYONE help me?

Our organization has around 50 MEMBERS and we are in need of a helpdesk SOLUTION that has EASY to use self-service portal.
Any SUGGESTIONS?

I have a NEW laptop with vista and ms office 2007.

I can't get outlook to notify me when i receive a new email. There is no little envelope in the task bar and no SOUND or pop up or anything. I get a chime and a pop up to REMIND me of appointments made in outlook but not with mail.

I have tried everything I know to try...can ANYONE help me?

Thanks so MUCH!

I still run Win98SE and recently I have been getting a "FAILURE TO LOAD RESOURCES.PLEASE CHECK YOUR SETUP" MESSAGE.
This has happened when I downloaded the File Hippo Updater and tried to run it.

Oddly enough,this programme worked perfectly previously.

I had to REFORMAT and re-install and since then this crappy problem has come up.
I tried INSTALLING Dot Net and un-installing it,to no avail.

What has gone wrong?

Tell it to me straight Doc.
I can take it.

CromIt looks to me like application problem. Does it happen with Filehippo Updater only?try running filehippo updater in safe mode. it maybe not able to connect to filehippo (internet site) because internet is not available thru the safe mode but if the updater run ok then it's something more....Many thanks for your reply.

This problem aiso occurred when I attempted to instal a programme for Winamp Codex.

Before I installed dot net, I first recieved Parsing error"Error parsing windows\system\config\machine config
Parser returned error0x80070003"
The Failure to load ETC message is behind this one.

When I installed dot net,the first message sodded off,and only the failure one appeared.

I checked Windows systems and the config file is not there

The only config file is in Windows and is a general config and seems to be obsessed with midi players.

I hope this information has not just muddied the waters even worse,but,APART from that,I know nuzzing.

Thanks in advance,

CromIf you have any version of .NET Framework installed, try to uninstall it, and install a fresh copy.

a virus is come in my pendrive name "New FOLDER". after formatting it is not remove.The virus might be came from your computer, so thats why even after formatting the pendrive it still in there.My SUGGESTION are to update your current ANTIVIRUS and RUN full scan, if the problem still persist, DOWNLOAD avira and do the same, update - full scan.

Even though it's not in "My stuff" anymore? isn't there some remince of the files left over if it has a file on the DRIVE stil? (That's the best I can explain it right now...

Hi, I am relocating from one country to another. I would like to ship my desktop via air freight along with my some other personal belongings. Can I have expert advise on what all precautions to be taken to get my PC in the same condition on the other end?
Thanks.Well there are man things you should consider. I'd feel more safe just putting my computer in a car, and drive it to my destination.

DO you still have the boxes, and styrofoam that came with your computer if you still have it just use that.
It'ld be great protection for your computer, and it should be fine.

However if you don't have that. Buy your standard like Blanket and some styrofom or WOOD. FIRST wrap your computer with a SOFT blanket, and then use some wood or sytrofoam to fill up the box. The more your can put around your computer the better.

I reccomend styrofoam though.QUOTE from: aziangamer on December 19, 2007, 02:12:05 PM

Just finished building my first comp, I have pretty good computer knowledge... but cant figure this one out.

I startup for the first time, and the fans all spin and bios boots up, I've successfully built a living comp right? NO WAY, within 1 minute the case goes dark and the fans stop and the comp dies. I try to boot a COUPLE more times and the comp SHUTS down sooner each time.

Sound like a CPU overheating, but it couldn't that quickly right? Only other thought is that there ISNT ENOUGH power, but im not running that much gear.

Ideas Anyone!??

It could sound like overheating actually. Is the heat sink seated properly? Did you apply thermal grease?
please do not post two of the exact threads. as this is most likely a hardware issue, please post back in the hardware thread found here

I found out that when I use my work e-mail's webmail on my computer to send a .DOC attachment, the recipient would not be ABLE to open that *.doc file. There'll be an error message COMING up on Microsoft Word saying: THE DOCUMENT NAME OR PATH IS NOT VALID.

This only happens on my computer - when I use other computers I can send .DOC attachment using the same webmail INTERFACE with no problem.

On my computer, I am able to use my work e-mail's webmail to send attachment in any format (JPG, PDF, XLS, etc...). This problem only happens on .DOC file. I can even send an .RTF file (created from the very same .DOC file on my computer that became UNOPENABLE after sending through webmail) and the recipient can open it with no problem.

I tried using my work e-mail to send .DOC attachment to my other e-mail accounts, and when I open it from my computer there's still the error message coming up on Microsoft Word.

When I tried using my other e-mail accounts (e.g. Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail etc.) to send .DOC attachments there is no problem at all too. I am also able to send .DOC attachment on my work e-mail using POP3 on Thunderbird.

So this problem only occurs when I use my computer to send .DOC attachment using my work e-mail account's webmail.

This is very weird, I already asked my webmaster but they have no idea how to fix this.

Is there anyone who heard of something similar who would be able to help? THANKS very much in advance.This isn't a direct solution but may be an indirect solution. Since you have the POP3 option, why not use POP3 instead of webmail?Where is the .doc file located ? ?
It has to be on the machine you are sending it as an attachment in order for this to work without a pickaxe and shovel...Yeah, maybe I'd better switch to POP3 too... But still think it's very weird there is this problem happening.

The .doc files are on my hard drive. As said, I can send them fine on any other webmail accounts and on POP3, there only seems to be a problem when I use this one particular account's webmail. And this also only happens on .doc files - not any other file type (even .rtf or .docx work fine too).

Any way to make your internet speed faster, other than buying a new ISP? I am not 100% sure how this service works, but, it is TRUSTED.
http://www.dslreports.com/tweaks

It has information and tools about how to adjust your TCIP settings to get them optimized to your connection.

Windows Vista is already as optimized as it can get in this department, if you happen to be RUNNING it, you may be out of luck.

Also, USING tools like AdBlockPlus in FIREFOX may help with speed issues, as ads often take a longer amount of time to open. Yea that site says im pretty MUCH out of luck as well.

Hi, I just joined this forum and was wondering if I could maybe get some recommendations.

I am looking to buy a laptop. Here is a list of what I'm looking for

13" screen
Intel Core 2 duo w/ 4MB cache
2 GB or more of ram
160 GB harddrive

Well those are the basics. I'm looking at either a Dell (maybe XPS) a Sony or Toshiba (I believe these to be the best brands...) oh, and I'm looking for the cheapest system I can get, college student, so if you know of a GOOD website or something...

If anyone knows of a system that meets these specifications or could recommend anything to me, that would be great!

Thanks

I'm looking for the cheapest system I can get

Hi, I came here to get some input....I have a brand new laptop with MS Vista and I have MS office 2007 with Outlook. I need a hand held device that will allow me to sync my outlook appointments/calendar so I have it with me on the go. I would love to get a phone that does that for me, but I just got a new verizon chocolate phone a few months ago. (and wouldn't there be an additional charge because those soft phones and blackberry's use the web?)

I don't NEED to be able to check email on go online with my hand held. If it is not much difference in cost, I may invest in it, but I don't want any monthly charges (like internet or roaming).

I am really new to this and from what I can tell the Palm brand USES an OS that may not be compatible with MS outlook..is that RIGHT?

I am really looking for your experiences and which devices you feel are the best yet reasonably priced. Thank you for your help.Good evening,
You are going to have a difficult time finding a phone that wont charge you monthly with internet that works anywhere there is reception from a cell tower, and roaming, but, if you have a DSL/Cable/Fiber connection in your home, and a wireless router, you will be able to connect to it (depending on the PDA, that is)

PalmOS (from Palm) is a great OS, but might not be 100% compatible with Outlook Calendar and Email. I had a teacher who owned a PalmOS device, and it was able to sync to her Outlook program fine, as well as transfer files flawlessly. Make sure any PalmOS (or any device) is ActiveSync compatible.

Why dont you take a look at this site:
http://www.newegg.com/Store/Category.aspx?Category=30&name=PDAs-Accessories
and see if you find anything you like

Feel free to post some of the things you are interested in (but dont expect replies of definite answers, as we can only work off the INFORMATION the LINKS provide) It depends on what you want. If you want more of a 'mac'-like clean interface with minimal multimedia, then the palm tungsten e2 is the way to go. If you want all kinds of video and music, but are willing to put up with yet another windows OS (trust me, I'm fed up with the WinGUI, it SUX), then a pocketPC may be better. But PPCs will cost ALOT more than palms. Palms are $100,200,and 300 (e2 is 200) whereas PPCs are $400+.Quote from: linuxlover on December 21, 2007, 07:37:44 PM

Hello, I have a very slow dial up connection. Sometimes I can see on my connection that information is being exchanged from my computer through the internet, yet I am not aware of what program is using the connection. Is there a way of finding out what program is using that connection?Your firewall should tell you.If your firewall doesn't tell you a free EXAMPLE of one that does is: Online Armor

Just make sure if you already have a firewall protection installed on the computer that it is either disabled when this or another program is in use and/or that it is uninstalled. Having two running firewalls on a computer causes havoc.Hello, I was using windows firewall and it did no let me know. I installed "Online Armour" and it works! I have so little bandwith so I need to know what is hogging it. Also, If something funny is going on now I can see whats connected. Thanks Windows Firewall does not MONITOR outbound traffic so it was useless in this SCENARIO...
Glad you're FIXED up.Thanks for the update and I'm glad that WORKED for ya.

hi...

i am mca student and want to give a seminnar on AUTONOMIC computing

can anyone clear the exact diffrence between autonomic computing and ARTIFICIAL inteligence...

and i also want material for seminnar.... i read frm the site of ibm but want some easy to understand material so if some one give me guidlines for this seminnar so plz...The easiest way I could think to describe these two subjects is as follows. Autonomic computing is any system that is capable of managing itself, e.g. self configuration, self TROUBLESHOOTING, etc. Often autonomic computing is pre-programmed problems and setup that can be programmed into the software. A.I. on the other hand is a lot more complex and must be programmed to work out a lot more complicated issues that are not as PREDICTABLE.

The ARTICLES on these two subjects on Wikipedia seemed fairly easy to read and understand may want to check them out.

Hi everyone,

i recently bought a fujitsu stylus 3400 (old i know) off of EBAY to use as a library for my ebooks for uni.
I have charged it and it will not turn on, all i get it a black screen and the fan starting and stopping. I tried to use an external screen with a better response time and it flickers like the machine wants to display something and then resets and is stuck in a loop. I have tried resetting and all SORTS, it will also not boot with the power supply connected.
It's hard to tell what's wrong because there's LITTLE information, it can't even get to the bios, so any help in the matter would be appreciated

Limewire and Torrents worked on my computer for a long time, but all of a sudden it stopped working. Even though its on my allow list limewire simply refuses to connect to the network, and no matter what I do it can't seem to get it to work. Torrents work - slightly, but are incredibly slow.

When I turn off my Windows Firewall limewire still refuses to connect, and it's the same with the one other computer in my house, though I SWITCHED internet connections (for a different reason) and the problem remained. I suspect it may be the router, but I'm uncertain. Any help WOULD be appreciated.

Actually it may be your ISP...have you contacted them ? ?

ComCast for one has recently been sued for throttling down heavy DLoaders...Well, I used to use a different ISP though, and the problem has remained through both. (I use Verizon FiOS now.) I didn't think it would have been the ISP due to that, but I suppose it can't hurt to contact them. Quote

ComCast for one has recently been sued for throttling down heavy DLoaders...

Although Comcast advertises an unlimited cable-internet use policy, many heavy downloaders have run into an invisible cap, which triggers a call from Comcast's Security Department that FLAGS their account for excessive use. The second time this happens, you're booted altogether—under the reason of hampering connection quality for your neighbors. The number 300GB has been tossed around in forums lately as the cap Comcast uses, but it could be closer to about 90 to 150GB.

A spokesperson for the cable company said that excessive use qualifies as anybody who downloads "30,000 songs, 250,000 pictures, or 13 million EMAILS in a month." Since it's hard to quantify emails and pictures in terms of size, we'll have to judge by songs, which are usually about 3MB to 5MB depending on how high it's encoded.

But Comcast doesn't actually tell people exactly what this cap is, leading USERS to sit in fear of whether or not they'll go over and be booted. Although it's mostly heavy BitTorrent users who have been subject to this, the rise of ABC, NBC, Amazon, iTunes and NetFlix video services has put regular people who really enjoy TV into the same group as well.

Someone mind telling me what's behind the link?

I have an Acer Aspire 3500 laptop computer, plenty of USB CONNECTIONS. I have just purchased a Sony DCR-HC28 Video CAMERA. The camera use the mini-cassettes. I want to be able to TRANSFER the video on the cassettes to a DVD on my computer. Not sure what I NEED to do this. Any advice??
Thankshttp://esupport.sony.com/BR/perl/model-home.pl?mdl=DCRHC28

How to COPY or transfer video to your computer

I recently found out that my aol email account has been flooding for the past month with spam email. I was wondering if there is anyway to get rid of them for good. A lot of them are the same spam emails and everytime i delete them they come back. From 2/14/2008 to 2/15/2008 I received a total of 47 spam emails.i dont used to use AOL mail; but yahoo mail has a spam feature beside delete and is good to tackle those problems, i think AOL mail should have this feature too, don't they?Aol has that feature but the same emails tend to reappear. Switch to GMail... Best spam filter around.ill 2nd that
i get hundreds of spam emails a month for some reason but not 1 has got into my inbox
gmail IS the bestAnother good IDEA is to use a disposable email account for logging into sites that REQUIRE it etc.
I use Yahoo for this and all that garbage never touches my main e-mail account.
Forwarding messages without cleaning out all the email addys is another way to get spammed a ton. If any of your buddies forward to you this way re-educate them as to the proper way or politely tell them you will no longer be opening their emails.I'm currently using my hotmail account. But when I used my Gmail account, i was gettin at least 20 spam messages a day. They went straight to the ''spam junkyard'', except for a few biatches who found their way to my inbox. Since Í'm using my hotmail again, I haven't received 1 spam message. I also always delete any message I don't recognize, cuz some of those bastards create a spam flood when you try to open them. Might be a good tip. Quote from: patio on FEBRUARY 17, 2008, 08:33:05 AM

I wasn't sure where to CLASSIFY this as but I'm having major computer problems.

the issue:

My computer will start up, everything will look fine (time LENGTH varies between each occurrence.) a little bit after it start up tho, my screen will go black and a little blue note will pop up saying something to the extent of power saving mode, and it will look LIKE the comuter has gone to sleep. the only thing is the computer is still running and no matter how many buttons i press or how much i move the mouse the computer will not activate again. and I haven't been putting the computer to sleep it does it on its own.

My brother is the one who built my computer, so i've been having him try to fix it... it's been this way for almost 2 years now. he's put in more fans and rigged the computer to force air to pass by the mother board because he belives the VIDEO chip is over heating. no matter what we do we cant make it cool off.

but the anoying thing is he keeps telling me that its fixed and when i bring it downstairs to my room from his the trouble starts all over again! so it works perfectly fine in his room but not in mine.

can ANYONE help me?Double post.

My laptop may have a VIRUS and I am looking for help. When XP STARTS up, the screen will go black after about 3 - 5 minutes while everything is loading. Everything SEEMS to be operating but the monitor is black. I have tried restarting several times and have tried restarting using the last good configuration. I KNOW very little about computers so I apologize for the "nontechnical" language. Thanks for any assistance.See, if your computer will work OK in Safe Mode.
When your computer starts, keep tapping F8 key until, you see this:

Select Safe Mode.

Hello all, nice to be here and look forward to meeting ya! Names Jason/37/male/NC.
I have what may be a serious hardware problem. Recently my puter stopped working. When I reboot, theres one beep, a spinup sound, then it stalls. Nothing is coming up on the screen. NOTHING! I cracked it open, removed all cards from the mobo, cleaned it out with compressed AIR, and reseated all cards, cables, and peripherals. Nothing. I then replaced the video card because it has worked loose before. Nothing. It won't even make it to the keyboard detection. I cannot think of anything other than the monitor causing this. The cpu and power supply fans are all working also, btw.
Its a custom-built machine with an amd processor,768MBs of RAM, a 40Gig maxtor HD, and the M811 VIA motherboard, and I use WINXP Home with SP2.
Thanks in advance!
i cant tell you what it is, but i can tell you whats its not, its not the monitor.

who is the maker of your BIOS? (award, phoenix, ami, etc.)Im sure that its Phoenix...generally speaking, there is no real way of knowing what the problem is without testing each component. the first thing i would check is the power supply, see if you can get your hands on one that you know works, or if you must, purchase a new one. if that does not solve the problem, we can continue.ok thanks bud. ill get back to ya.Got the new power supply today. Plugged it into the motherboard and the hd, plugged it into the wall and TURNED it on. Smoke started coming out of it and it quickly started smelling hot before it just quit working. Any comments?Quote from: trag on DECEMBER 12, 2007, 03:37:28 PM

Its a sunbeam 480 watt ps with a 20+4 pin connector, model no. PSU-BKS-480-US 480W RT.
Incidentally, upon closer inspection of the inside of my puter, I found that the internal reset switch(?) that is connected to the "spk1" pin near the power led and reset switch pins on the mobo has a frayed, bare wire. Perhaps that was the initial problem....

The plug looked like it had melted a bit...

I'm surfing through MultiProxy v1.2a.

Every proxy on port #3128 takes me to the CoDeeN website.
Even if the proxy is owned by someone else, it takes me to CoDeeN.

Port #3128 is the only port proxies will work on.

Does anyone know how to get AROUND this damned CoDeeN network, without uninstalling MultiProxy?

I use Windows XP HOME Edition SP2.
Thank you.even with multiproxy CoDeeN networks wont work, you will get a message ASKING to verify your a human and not a machine , and they'll give you more "BANDWITH" if you promise to stop abusing the service.

Thank you Diablo.

Have not abused the service yet, but I don't want to use it because it logs all actions. (I swear I am NOT HACKING)Duh!

I should have tested the entire list
There where some proxies that are up and running and are anonymous and did not come via the CoDeeN network.

So that means i made a good GUESS or i was totally off base...correct ? ?

From what I recall, the calendar was only used about... once before. (That was back when we first transformed into SMF from YaBB)
I cant help but notice it NEVER GETS used. Is it worth keeping? (This is moreover if this issue occurs again, if it becomes something common, then perhaps disabling it would be a solution)
