1201.	Solve : How to list 'Added' Favorites NON-ALPABETICALLY?
Answer» My Operating System is Windows Vista. I want to be able to list my 'added' favourite sites in NON-ALPHABETICAL order. This was possible for several years after I aquired my computer. One day I turned on as usual to find that the list had become alphabetical. Since that day,even if I re-arrange the list,it always reverts to the alphabetical mode when I restart. I find this very inconvenient. I found it much simpler to group banks, SHOPS, TECHNICAL sites,etc. thus avoiding the necessity to trawl through a very long list especially if I could not REMEMBER the exact name. Can anybody out there help me please? Have you considered organizing your bookmarks/favourites into folders?What internet browser are you using? One feels this is the most poignant question. Quote from: Mulreay on JANUARY 20, 2011, 07:54:50 PM What internet browser are you using? One feels this is the most poignant question. Internet Explorer is the only one that automatically sorts Favourites, to my understanding.My thanks to Genius and Egghead for their responses. The operating system is indeed Internet Explorer.

Answer» How can I ignore someone in a chat room so that the SEE IT on the screen? A O L has it BUT it DOESN't SHOW it to the person your ignoring.I don't believe they provide a way for you to do this. When you ignore someone, you simply appear to be OFFLINE to them.

1207.	Solve : Unable to open MS Office Files?
Answer» Have a computer running Vista Home, MS Office 2007. All of a sudden, when I click to open a doc in EXCEL, I get "The LANGUAGE of this installation pkg is not supported by your system". When I click on OK, it says "Configuring Microsoft Office Shared MUI (English) 2007".

All FILES on my desktop with shortcuts to office products are inaccessible.

Have run several antivirus programs and malware removers, to no avail. Help?

1208.	Solve : Backup software and installed programs?
Answer» Hello everybody ! I know that for a lot of you, guys, my question would sound simple and stupid. But I don't know about that, so I'm asking. Let's say I did a BACKUP of my OS to my external hard drive using some backup software. Then one day my hard drive has gotten broken or whatever. On a new/reformatted hard drive I'm installing then my OS from mentioned backup. My question is: my programs (third party apps) that I had installed before would have been on my computer installed or I still have to install them again. As we know installing all programs again (especially if you have a lot) is a real pain in NECK. Do my PERSONAL settings stay the same on my computer then ? I use my external hard drive to back up my video files but I have never used one for this purpose. If you use DISK Imaging software everything will be the same as when you created the image.As Allan says, if you make a disk image what you would get back is an exact copy of your OS and all installed programs, My Documents, emails, etc, just as they were at the TIME you made the disk image backup. As long as they were all on the drive you made a backup of. Windows 7 has a disk image backup tool built in and I use it around once a week. Each disk imaging software package has its own bootable "rescue CD" that you can use to recover your system. You have to burn this onto a CD-R. Usually there is a wizard to guide you in this, and if you use Windows 7 built in imaging, there is a Rescue CD image you can download and burn, or you can use the Rescue Environment on the Windows 7 install DVD.

1211.	Solve : cannot start computer?
Answer» the computer worked fine this morning but when my aunt tried to DOWNLOAD a bigfish game to her account it wouldn't work so we restarted the computer. The computer updated and won't start up now. It starts booting but it comes up to the blue screen saying there's a FATAL system error and there is a memory dump. i've tried to run through safe mode and it won't work. I've tried start-up repair but it just stops in the middle. the blue light will stay on on the tower but the monitor will turn off. i've tried the system restore but there are no restore points. sometimes when you try to start it up it runs chkdsk, but it STOPPED right before stage 3 and again the blue light on the tower stays on, but the monitor is off. i don't KNOW what's wrong with the computer or why it's not working. on a sidenote, our internet wasn't working either. the desktop(the computer with the problem) doesn't have wireless internet, but we have a wireless ROUTER so we have to plug it in via ethernet cable. the internet wasn't working on any of our laptops, but when i unplugged the ethernet cable so that the router wasn't connected to the desktop the internet started working again. the desktop is a gateway computer and it has windows vista.

1229.	Solve : mouse and keyboard delay during gaming PLEASE HELP?
Answer» Hi all, i have a very annoying problem with my mouse and keyboard: i bought the game 'far cry 2'. but when in-game, my mouse and keyboard react very slow. if i press, for instance, the W button to walk forward, the game reacts like 1 second after i pressed the W button. my keyboard and mouse are connected via USB connection. this is what i tried to solve the problem: - i updated the graphic card driver - i MADE sure the V-Sync function is disabled. (both in the Catalist Control Center and in the game, i disabled this function) - i made sure the function in my configuration window: improve the precision of the mouse, is disabled. - i tried to use an other USB portal to connect my keyboard and mouse these are my PC specs: - computer: HP g5245nl - operating system: Windows 7 (64 bit) - processor: AMD Athlon ii X4 635 (2.9 Ghz quad core) - graphic card: ATI Radeon HD 5450 - i don't know which motherboard i have (if you need to know that, please tell me how i can FIND it WITHOUT opening my computer) - 4 GB of RAM - 1 TB of hdd like you can see, my computer should handle far cry 2 easily. but even on the lowest settings, i have the problem, although it is like 0.5 seconds delay then. other games i play (without any problems what so ever) are: Call Of Duty 4, counter strike: SOURCE, MotorM4X offroad Extreme and Call Of Duty 2. of course these are not as demanding games as Far Cry 2, but like i said, i have no problems with these games what so ever. if you can help me, please try to explain to me what i should do. my computer is just 3 weeks old, so i don't want to do anything witch makes me lose my guarantee. edit: i have this problem ONLY during gaming. thanks, koendutch.koen, CH is glad to have you. Your problem just might be specific to the AND quad and that game. Have you already tried the AMD game forum? http://forums.amd.com/game/

1225.	Solve : windows 7 system restore taking hours?
Answer» I started a system restore on windows 7, at 3:30pm in the afternoon, its now 11pm, its still going ?? (on my laptop, 64 bit, quadcore, 6 gig ram), the system restore was dated from the 23rd or 24th, only 1 or 2 days, since those DATES I have installed several softwares and done a lot of copy PASTING of documents and downloads. loading lots of files onto my ipad etc, but I think system restore only changes the windows operating system and drivers to back where they were previously correct? It doesnt uninstall softwares or delete all your created documents since that time?? I hope not.. regardless is it usual for system restores to take this amount of time? 7plus hours,, for only 1 or 2 days, I tried pressing the power off button but that only made it hibernate, this after 5 hours.. then when TURNED back on from hibernate it CONTINUED system restore, the screen reads "PLEASE WAIT WHILE YOUR WINDOWS FILES AND SETTINGS ARE BEING RESTORED, SYSTEM RESTORE IS INITIALIZING." I hope that doesnt mean its not even started yet lol !!.It should only take a minute or two.

1226.	Solve : web page I want to print appears as numbers and letters -no words?
Answer» I want to PRINT a page off a WEB page, I click the link, I am asked if I want to open or save; I want to open and print. When it opens the pages is nothing but ooooonnnnnnnnn ooooooonnnnn. I am very frustrated trying to get help online. How do I change this so I can print it out pages in English?Another thing -- you may want to try to print the page directly to pdf format using the free primopdf software[url]. This will save your page as a pdf file, Then finally print it out normally with your printer if you like the result after opening the pdf file and checking. just out of CURIOUSITY-- what is this the website link page you want to print? Just want to see what it LOOKS like. Thank you-had to remove and re-install Adobe. Now if I could only get to see PICTURES in yahoo mail I'd be a happy camper. Read what was writte before and that didn't work for my Windows 7so I assume everything is ok for you?

Answer» E6600 MSI P35 Neo GF 460 NTX 1gb 4 GB Ram (2x1 + 1x2) Windows 7 (64 bit - used to have 32 bit and problem was the same). SB Audigy 2 I've been having major issues with my computer for the past couple of months. I keep getting BSODs, usually when I first start the SYSTEM (sometimes up to 5 times before I can get into windows). It also sometimes happens when I leave the computer idle for a while, and very occasionally when I try to open a program like firefox or word (enough to have made me paranoid about using word and losing work). So far I have done the following: formatted and reinstalled windows (7) bought a new harddrive bought a new graphics card bought a new psu removed audigy 2zs soundcard because apparently win 7 has some issues with it disconnected and removed a dead optical drive checked memory sticks all work updated all drivers to latest versions (inc BIOS) When I get the BSOD, sometimes I get a message about rdyboost.sys, others it says IRQL Equal to or less than (or something like that), and others its just a series of numbers and letters. Here are the most recent reports I've been getting from WhoCrashed: On Sat 29/01/2011 07:49:14 GMT your computer crashed crash dump file: C:\Windows\Minidump\012911-18906-01.dmp This was probably caused by the following module: rdyboost.sys (rdyboost+0x134C1) Bugcheck code: 0x1000007E (0xFFFFFFFFC0000005, 0xFFFFF880015D04C1, 0xFFFFF8800372F858, 0xFFFFF8800372F0C0) Error: SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED_M file path: C:\Windows\system32\drivers\rdyboost.sys product: Microsoft® Windows® Operating System company: Microsoft Corporation description: ReadyBoost Driver Bug check description: This indicates that a system THREAD generated an exception which the error handler did not catch.

Possibly this problem is caused by another driver which cannot be identified at this time. I'm honestly starting to lose the plot with this now. The system runs largely ok 90% of the time when I'm doing stuff (playing games, etc) but as soon as I turn it off...leave it for a bit ... then turn it on again, it starts booting then blue screens as soon as I get into windows. After a restart it then seems to be working fine again...until I turn it off....EVEN manual restarts dont seem to be triggering the problem. Please if anyone can help I'd really appreciate it .... I'm at the point of WONDERING whether I just need to buy a new Motherboard but I think that will invalidate my copy of Windows 7 because of the licensing system Microsoft use...so that really needs to be a last resort Random BSODS which is what you have can sometimes be caused by a flakey/failing PSU... Before giving up on the MBoard i'd borrow a known working one of the same or greater wattage and swap it in there for 24 Hours or so... You'll know if thats the issue or not...REPLACING the PSU was one of the first things I did Any other ideas? Have you run a diagnostic on your ram yet? If not, download memtest and do so.

1237.	Solve : Wrong password? \| Startup Repair?
Answer» Computer parts below. Hello Forge here! I am new here and found this forum on google, to see if there are some skilled PEOPLE here which can help me So the problem is...: Yesterday, I was going to but my INTERNET cable into my switch. To do that I had to crawl behind my computer and eject the cable from my computer, put it into the switch and put another cable between the wall plug and the switch. Then put the Xbox cable into the switch. Behind my computer, I accidentally hit the Power Supply cable, which is really weak. A little touch and the computer turns of. I was in-game and running a java script, windows live messenger, skype and steam. After getting internet for my Xbox, I turned on my computer. Normally, the computer would show a menu where I could choose Start Windows Normally, or Safe MODE. But this time it showed a menu with "Launch Startup Repair" and "Start Windows Normally". It automatically went into Startup Repair because I wasn't looking at the screen. My friend told me it popped up. Startup Repair asked me if I would Restore a earlier restore point, or Cancel. I didn't want to restore so I clicked Cancel. This continued the Startup Repair without Restoing. When this finished, Windows told me to choose my keyboard language. I knew this was a menu with Repairing options, so I clicked cancel, which restarted my computer. When it turned on, It went to the log-in screen. I entered my password. "The uername or password is incorrect." I've tried over 20 times to enter my password, the Caps Lock was OFF, I restarted my computer like 4 times, I tried Shift+Alt. Nothing worked. I tried restoring my computer but an error stopped the Restore process and I could restore to 27. January 2011. The computer have been Formated/reset 2 times because of problems with this crap OS. Last time was last weekend. Also, my computer have been asking to start Startup Repair EVERY TIME I start up the computer. This have been happening since I bought the computer in July 2010. I didn't need to run Startup Repair every time i started my computer, but sometimes. Then one time II brought my PC with me to my friend. I believe I put it back in the car, and not in the middle, between 2 seets. Then I couldn't start and had to format it. After that, the computer worked for a long time. But last weekend, I brought the the computer to a LAN. My friend carried it out to the car and put it in the back of the car. This could have damaged it. When I arrived, the computer wouldn't work, and I wasted 4 hours of my life just sitting there. I had to format it.

1238.	Solve : Video card compatibility with Win7?
Answer» I just upgraded from WinXP Pro to Win7 Home Premium and now my Chessmaster 10TH Edition won't play even in XP Compatibility mode. I want to upgrade from on-board video to a HIS 9250 video card but can't find out if it is compatible with Win7. My MOBO is a Lite-on NR138 w/2GB of RAM. It is in an older(2000) HP desktop with PCI and AGP expansion slots. My on board grahics CHIPSET is not supported for Win7 so a GENERIC VGA driver was loaded on upgrading. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Go with AGP; it's better than PCI. I suspect you want to keep the COST low for this so I suggest you get http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130452 while a $20 mail-in rebate is in effect. I found no Win 7 driver for the HIS 9250, so I'd forget about it. Thanks soybean, I'll check it out.

1240.	Solve : not sure but big problem..?
Answer» sorry about the subject name but i really dont know whats going on so dont even know what to call it. I am not sure about some of the things in my PC but i have an MSI motherboard, 2g of ram and an Asus gfx card. i can probably find numbers on them if you need them. OK so here is the problem and sorry if it doesnt make any sense. The other day my computer had a blue screen memory dump thing. Started to restart but rather than having words on startup like when you first switch it on all i could see was a screen full of 0's. like this 00000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000 you get the idea. anyway, everything is still kinda running in the background and when it came up the screen that would say something like "windows was not shut down properly do you WANT to: START windows normaly or run windows fix tool thing" again all i can see is 0's but i can see the bars that would light up blue to show your selection. so i picked the repair tool and that didnt work saying files were corrupt. so i guessed i needed to format. trouble is i cant see any of the menu options to format the HDD. I can put the disk in and managed (trial and error and lots of BUTTON bashing) to install another version of windows on the PC. This seems to work ok but its not formatted and not much use to me SINCE the bios screen still cant be read. any help on either telling me what the problem is or even how i can format the PC without going through 100 menus's i cant see would be awesome. sorry about the grammar and spelling but its the best i could do. thanks in advance and thanks for reading even if you cant help.if you need any more info just let me know an i will try to get it for you.Can you tell us where this version of windows was attained from and how it was installed.

1242.	Solve : Is there a way in Win7 that can disable the touchpad temporarily while typing...?
Answer» ...so that you can avoid ACCIDENTALLY bumping into the TOUCHPAD while typing, and have the cursor click somewhere else?Updated DRIVERS.

Not sure what drivers have to do with your original request.

1250.	Solve : Laptop HDMI output?
Answer» I connected an HDMI cable from my lap TOP to my Onkyo recever to play my digital music through my home theater speakers. When I accidentally closed my laptop while playing the music, everything STOPPED working so I opened the laptop and the music resumed but the screen remained blank (dark). Now EVERYTIME I connect an HDMI cable to the laptop, the screen goes completely dark and comes back as soon as I unplug the HDMI cable. Whatever I am running on the laptaop (music or programs), continues running, I just don't see anything on the screen until I unplug the HDMI cable. I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 running Windows Vista home premium with an Intel PENTIUM dual T2390 1.86 GH, a Sigmatel high definition audio codec sound card. a 220 GB hard drive with 136 GB free and 3 GB RAM. Is there a solution somewhere to this problem? Please advice.
