Solve : please! I need help my teen age dougter? |
Answer» Good morning, I am a single dad and my doughter is getting on yahoo messenger and chating. when she is done she deleets her achrives I need to know what is going on is there any way to pull up her chats from dos after she had deleted them? is there any way to pull up her chats from dos after she had deleted them?No. You will need to install software that monitor and record keystrokes. These are commonly known as keyloggers or Spy Software. I don't have any personal experience with any other than how to detect and get rid of them. But Google "Keylogger" or "Spy Software" and you should find plenty. How old is she ? She probably has a cell phone too,right dad? Does she use makeup? Remember who the boss is and she will.i have used KGB keylogger on my comp. it works very well. its not free, but it does have a trail period.You can get free version of KGB keylogger which might be enough fro you: http://www.refog.com/files/keyspectlite.exe According to their website (which I POSTED link above for) Quote KGB Free Keylogger Let us know how this program works for you. I downloaded a nifty program called "UnDelete pro" or something, which let me undelete files. But i had it ages ago, and i'm not sure if that was the name. (i ran out of space on my computer, and lot's of little used programs were deleted lol) It worked well, but sometimes it wouldn't recover the files. I'd say 8 times out of 10 it would recover the files... investigate it anyway.Specter Pro... http://www.spectorsoft.com/products/SpectorPro_Windows/entry.asp?refer=12473 Totally stealth. I've installed it on a clients computer the his son didn't have a clue it was there. Alan <>< Judging by the SPELLING i don't think we are dealing with a worried Dad here... There's more here than meets the eye.www.spyarsenal.com has a free family keelogger for pc's running XP goodluck.For a hardware keelogger I suggest www.keelog.com for 80$$$ good luck!Be creative and get on her account and pretend to be her, check her friends list, ectQuote from: patio on January 27, 2008, 10:21:36 AM Judging by the spelling i don't think we are dealing with a worried Dad here... Same thing I saw patio.is the feeling that "worieddad' is just wondering what his daughter is doing with his computer rather that why she is doing?Quote from: street1 on January 27, 2008, 06:43:35 PM Quote from: patio on January 27, 2008, 10:21:36 AMJudging by the spelling i don't think we are dealing with a worried Dad here... yeah, sounds to me like "dougter" is more apprioriately "sister"I think the terms are interchangeable in some states . . . .

Solve : 2 OS on my laptop help please!!!!!!? |
Answer» Hi this is the more major reason I joined your site.I want to run both Vista and Ubuntu Linux on my laptop, but dell says they don't support 2 OS and so they wont HELP me .I got a Dell Inspiron 1521 notebook and I want to make a partition but I'm having alot of trouble. Somebody told me that I should get a External Hard drive and so I picked up a 250 GB one from radio shack and if I'm correct these are the steps I must take to have both operating systems on my computer along with all my current programs files and such(keep in mind that I don't have the Vista installation cd's and the dell operator said that they are in my system). Ill leave that as a second plan if my first one fails.Where can I get these drivers for my inspiron 1521 because dell.com won't tell me, those bastards!You know that they are based out of India now to save money, what about helping the American economy?Those greedy F**Ks piss me off!Someone needs to learn about economics before they complain about India... American cant develop computer parts for cheap. Outsourcing jobs makes the computer cheaper. Your computer would be greatly more expensive if it was made in the USA, since our majority of population will refuse to work for low wages. Our economy is going down the drain at the moment... (Due to our Wonderful Fearless Leader who "found weapons of mass destruction (-G.W. Bush Sr.)") Back to Dell: Their support is outsourced, and almost all computer companies get parts from out of the country (very little electronic circuit board production takes place just here in the US. The research and development is often done here) but, the parts are assembled here. (I dont mind chat being outsourced, but, its just plain hard to understand some of their support representatives over the phone.) Back to Linux (I dont think political arguments should start): Since your space is unallocated, you can shrink your OS partition, (right click, click Shrink) then Expand the unallocated partition. Just a quick note: Since Vista doesnt know how to handle the EXT format, you cannot resizing it after you install your OS. You will have to use a Linux tool called GParted. I strongly recommend that you backup your data first. The last time I resizing my partitions, I my Master Boot Record completely, and was unable to boot anymore. Your probably right about the economics, I dont quite care about America(canada rules)its just that I want what I pay for and the dell operators now are hard to communicate with and I dont think dell is going broke. as for shinking the (C:) partition ive tried it and it wouldnt work ealier because it sayed i cant modify it because it CONTAINS boot,page file and other important stuff, but Ill try and seeOk I just had a talk to the guys at dell and they are sending me the vista cds and they said I should backup my data and then delete the partitions,create new partitions, format and install Vista on one partition and then linux and the drivers and then put all my software on the vista partition.Dos that sound right or is it in a different ORDER that Im supposed to do it?uh they sayed they would help up until the part when I install linux stuff.It sounds about right. You should definitely install Windows first. If you install windows after Linux the windows installer will overwrite the Linux boot loader.what about the drivers where would I find those?Someone told me I have to have a certain wireless card too(I got a dell 1505 wireless card)so where can I get the drivers?The cd's are on the way, but I surprisingly didn't pay for shipping so dos that mean I got to wait 6-8 weeks, lol.Drivers please!Quote from: cheese11 on January 15, 2008, 08:58:04 PM what about the drivers where would I find those?Someone told me I have to have a certain wireless card too(I got a dell 1505 wireless card)so where can I get the drivers?The cd's are on the way, but I surprisingly didn't pay for shipping so dos that mean I got to wait 6-8 weeks, lol.Drivers please!If you are installing Ubuntu version 7.10 or higher, you will be prompted for Restricted Hardware. Just enable the devices restricted hardware, its self explanatory. |

Solve : opening certain attachments in outlook express? |
Answer» Well, I think perhaps you should only have one version installed. Is there a valid REASON to have multiple versions installed? That may be causing a problem.Aside from SOYBEAN's comment, you may have file association broken. I guess maybe I just need to install office on my computer. If someone else has a disc for office, can I also install it on my computer or would it cause a problem for the other person? Just so I will know before I try it. My son-in-law has it.The solution has been given: PowerPoint Viewer. Why the continuing problem here?The problem is the same as in the beginning. I can't open powerpoint viewer. So, I'm guessing that I must not have office on my computer. Someone mentioned a free download "OPEN OFFICE". What and where is it?? PowerPoint Viewer is NOT a part of MS Office. It's free, standalone program: HEREOpen Office |

Solve : Laptop Bag? |
Answer» Anyone know of a good laptop bag which allows the laptop to stay secured in the bag while being used.

Solve : Battery problem for wireless mouse? |
Answer» I have this "Blue Horizon" wireless mouse. It needs two AAA batteries. For some reason the battery leaks on the same place. well, nothing chinese on that. They are 'EverActive' batteries made in USA. I bought Duracell now though, but just thought to get any opinion before I bet on that I'd recommend testing the duracells first, as it would be better to try that than try modifying/cleaning the mouse more....The brand mentioned are retailed at Wally WORLD and other large retailers... They are distributed by RayOVac as their budget line and are manufactured in the Far East and Middle East.yeah, I think they are a cheap one too. I put the new Duracell battery & the mouse dosent work at all now. I GUESS its time to get over with. Any suggestions for a good wireless mouse you guys know of ? Logitech. First wireless and best ever. A bit more than others with no regrets ... |

Solve : HP C7280 camera memory card input? |
Answer» I just bought a C7280 All-in-One Printer, Fax, Copier, Scanner. It has slots on the face to accept several types of camera memory cards (4) plus, what appears to be a USB socket. My camera is an Olympus that uses a SMART Media card. This does not fit into any of the 4 card slots on the HP printer. I usually use a ZiO! adapter that ACCEPTS the Smart Media card and connects to my computer with a USB plug. But when I plug this adapter into the USB(?) socket on the HP, the machine says, "Unrecognized adapter." There is nothing in the manual that came with the printer to shed any light on this problem. |

HTTP://www.thinkgeek.com/electronics/audio/9778/ I do this regularly, connect a lead from the audio out on your tape player to the audio in on your computer sound card.Note that you'll need a cord with a plug on each end for this, instead of the usual cord with a plug on one end and a receptacle on the other end. I found what I needed at a Radio Shack. |

Solve : Not sure.? |
Answer» Ok I would of searched but am not sure what exactly to "search" for. Windows Movie Maker doesn't support the MOV file format. I just place the memery card in the SD slot and choose to save to a file on my desktop. Then I click and drag the icons to my desktop. *.MOV are Apple QuickTime files. You'll either have to Google a .MOV to .WMV converter, or see if your camera can save files in a different format. QuickTime Pro can probably convert it, but it'll COST you money.Windows Movie Maker has the capability to "import" movies directly from the camera. If your camera and computer have firewire CONNECTIONS, use those instead of simply copying files off your sd card.Quote from: Tiberian Fiend on January 17, 2008, 11:03:22 PM *.MOV are Apple QuickTime files. You'll either have to Google a .MOV to .WMV converter, or see if your camera can save files in a different format. QuickTime Pro can probably convert it, but it'll cost you money.So your saying to just do a google search and try and find a converter , or use the quick time one and pay ? Either one sounds fine thanks Quote from: michaewlewis on January 18, 2008, 09:53:39 AM Windows Movie Maker has the capability to "import" movies directly from the camera. If your camera and computer have firewire connections, use those instead of simply copying files off your sd card. Well in regards to that I have the wire that goes from the camera to the USB port on the PC. Never did that transfer before though . Give that a try. Windows Movie Maker should be able to handle that. Also check out the movie maker website at microsoft.com |

Solve : divx movie to DVD±RW, readable on standalone DVD player? |
Answer» Before I'll make few more coasters.... This is essential, no standalone dvd player (I've ever encountered) will read a multi session disc.I see. So, what you're saying is that CDRW can't be re-used (by adding extra files) in standalone DVD player?BRONI, you're most likely going to have to CLOSE the disk in order for the dvd player to read it. However, with a RW, you should then be able to erase the disk and then reuse it again. The downside is the amount of time it'll take to erase the disk and then re-write it, but I doubt any DVD will work as an open session disc in your dvd player.Quote The downside is the amount of time it'll take to erase the disk and then re-write itYou must be right. Maybe it's time to upgrade my DVD player. The new ones come with USB ports, and as my friend told me, you can play movies from USB sticks without a problem. I think, I'm just wasting my time. Thanks.no problem. wish I had better news for yaOh, well, those things are cheap. My friend got DVD player with USB port for ~$70, at Best Buy. |

Solve : Trouble with Laptop? |
Answer» I got a Toshiba Satellite A215-S7437 with Windows Vista in November. Right away, I noticed the computer would turn off by itself. Three days ago, I put my computer on standby, and it wouldn't come BACK on, so I turned it off, and tried to start it up again, but it wouldn't start, and hasn't started for three days. What may be the source of the PROBLEM, and how do you FIX it? I have not installed any new hardware since the start of this month, and I don't think I have a virus... I just want my laptop back to working. When you push the power button, do you get any fan noises, or lights? |

Solve : replace RAID 0 drives and keep data from old drives? |
Answer» I have two Hd DRIVES 150GB (NTFS) configured in RAID 0. I am nearing the full point on them and want to replace them with new larger capacity drives. They are SATA driven, Pentium 4 extreme ed. 3.2ghz, 800 FSB machine. Where would Symantec place the images if he is almost out of space on his RAID array ? ? Put the image onto the new drives, then format the old ones and copy the image over to one of those. Then set up the new drives in whatever configuration you see best and then put the image onto them. You didn't answer my question...I think michaewlewis may have been suggesting that the new drives could be connected at the same time as the existing drives. The OP didn't say how many SATA connections were available though. Quote from: patio on January 28, 2008, 10:00:44 PM You didn't answer my question... Symantec will put the images wherever you tell it to, just like Acronis. |

Solve : I wish to change the layout of my screen? |
Answer» Soybean I have a duplicate on the bottom of data on the top.A duplicate of Windows taskbar? I believe that's not possible. Can you post another screen print?Soybean Here is the new deskHTTP://s177.photobucket.com/albums/w228/franke71/?action=view&CURRENT=newDesktop.jpg" target="_blank">http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w228/franke71/newDesktop.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">[/url]top It does'nt seem to respond to my clicksWell, you posted the same image twice. Why? Your image, as shown, shows no duplication. Can you state exactly what part of the image shows duplication; exactly what element of your image do you think reflects duplication? Are you talking about the links and web address box shown at the bottom of your screen? Soybean his image is different from the first one. The start button is on the bottom. TThere is no duplication;I was wrong. The desktop search feature is never used.Do you ever use it,and why? I would like to remove it from my screen,to have more space. All in all,I'm content with the change.It seems better,but is it the normal screen? FrankQuote from: soybean on January 27, 2008, 07:43:35 PM Well, you posted the same image twice. Why?Quote from: franke on January 28, 2008, 03:18:17 AM his image is different from the first one.Yes, the first image, posted in reply #12, and the second image, posted in reply #20 are different. What I meant was each of those replies has two links to the same image. In other words, your TECHNIQUE for posting links images is still not correct, but it works so let's move on. Quote from: franke on January 28, 2008, 03:18:17 AM TThere is no duplication;I was wrong.Most people do not use the search bar, i.e. the Address box, on the Windows taskbar. Here's how to remove it. Right click on a blank part of your taskbar. You'll see a menu with Toolbars at the top. Farther down that menu, you'll see "Lock the Taskbar". Unlock it, then bring up the right-click menu again and point to Toolbars to display a sub-menu. On the sub-menu, un-select Address; I suggest you also un-select Links, since that's also one of the toolbars taking up space on your screen. Now, you may still need to adjust the height of your taskbar by dragging the top of it down so that the taskbar only uses one row. Your current taskbar is using 3 rows of space. When finished with the changes, right click to bring up that menu again and Lock the Taskbar. Soybean, Thanks,a bunch. I've been trying for over a year to get this done.My three Daughters use computers on their jobs,but could not help me.I tried the AOL Help line to no avail,and other Forums on the Web. I will continue to use this Forum.If I become a pest,just ignore me. Frank |

Solve : No Admin rights?? |
Answer» Tried to change my computers operating system. I have a complete XP package. HOWEVER, when I go to INSTALL I receive a message that says I do not have administrator rights to MAKE changes. I am not on a network. Tried to change my computers operating system. You better start off by telling us what kind of computer we're trying to diagnose and what you did when you tried to change the OS. No brand name on the computer case. Bought it from a small computer store that typically sold to small businesses running computer NETWORKS. I thought it odd that he asked my network configuration when I went in to buy. Original operating system was windows 98. Had someone upgrade to Windows XP. I have a fully licensed copy of XP (full edition) that I want to re-install to get rid of all the stuff my son and DAUGHTER put on the computer. Get a fresh start and use the computer for my work excel spread sheets. Maybe there is another way I can do that?Boot to the XP cd and delete the existing partition / recreate a new one and install the OS. If that doesn't work then go here... http://www.bootdisk.com/ Download the disk for XP and try them. Alan <>< |

Answer» im doing some MALWARE removal on my buddies Vista laptop. its the first time ive used vista, and im not impressed. the only THING good so far is the cool looking circle by the mouse telling you that the comp is busy. also, that "windows needs permission..." is VERY annoying.Quote "windows needs permission..."Turn User Account Control (UAC) off.I swear I replied to this topic or something along those lines... Anyways I use Vista, and love it! (SP1) I also use XP, its fine as well. Linux... eh, too much configuration and not enough driver support. Mac... well, you all know that already *update* well i fixed my buddies laptop, so its running ALOT faster/smoother. i think vista is now a little more bearable.Unfortunately Homer you're gonna have to install it sooner or later to stay on top of the curve...i fought it off as long as i could.

I have no plans to install Vista any time soon. The Windows XP and Server lines are doing me just fine.Yeah, me too. I'll definitely wait a while before going to Vista.For a normal user, vista isn't really that bad. Of course all new OS's are gonna go under the fire by people who have problems with it. But maybe Microsoft should open the BETA to everyone who's willing to help Microsoft that has some knowledge of computer OS workings or whatnot, so even the avg user can tell Microsoft when they have to be like noobs when they can't understand something or find something easily within the OS. But hopefully SP1 of Vista gives improvements. Quote from: Broni on January 25, 2008, 05:48:48 PM Quote"windows needs permission..."Turn User Account Control (UAC) off. Yeah, and go ahead and ALWAYS log in as root if you use linux. Security is overrated anyways. seriously, after you get everything set up, you won't normally need to be admin anyway....MS by the way OPENED up over 40,000 BETA liscenses to testers...all you had to do is pass a quiz on OS basics and sign up. They have SINCE rewarded some of those with free liscenses for Vista Ultimate.Quote from: patio on January 27, 2008, 10:26:37 AM MS by the way opened up over 40,000 BETA liscenses to testers...all you had to do is pass a quiz on OS basics and sign up.Man, I knew I should have done that! Oh well, wait until Windows 7 comes out. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_7 |

Solve : What is a mail server?? |
Answer» I am going through "Craigslist.com" looking for items to buy. When I GO to email anyone, a Internet Connection Wizard box pops up. It wants to know what my incoming mail server is, POP3,IMAP,HTTP. Then it asks what my outgoing mail server is, SMTP. I don't know what any of these things are. How do I find out what my incoming and outgoing servers are? It won't let me send mail to any contacts unless I type this info in the boxes. Can anyone help? Maybe look at the help section for email set up (e.g. Outlook Express) at your Internet Provider's home page. There might be a tutorial...What KIND of email do you have? |
