Answer» Ok so I got this great new screen for my home PC. Its a 19 inch eMachines with a response time 5mm. What my problem is every time I try to play the game GTA VC on it the screen goes blank as has this moving box saying Input not Supported. THe game works on my old 17 inch tube display but i can't go back to my old screen. Its huge! At first I thought That it was the game graphics being to old for this screen but when I played Doom The plutonia Experiment on my old Powermacintosh G3 Mac OS 9.2. It was more pixelated than gta vc so VC has to work somehow. All my other game's work so im not sure. If anyone has any idea's that would be great. Thanks in advance.

I found a site that simply told you to delete one file. go to my documents/gta vc user files/ and delete the file GTA_VC.set. Thanks for the update - glad you got it sorted out.

8973.	Solve : Buffer Overrun message?
Answer» I know that others have posted for this error message, but they don't seem to fit my problem. I have Microsoft XP and recently downloaded I.E. 8. Since then, I cannot get into IE, or if I click on a link from email or MSN, I get this error message. I have had this once before, and I think has SOMETHING to do with my security system. However, I don't remember what I did to fix it. Any help I can get, I will be most thankful. I also have Symantec from NOrton t oprotect my computer. I also installed ReCur to clean out my processing. Neither one detected a virus or noted anything wrong with my system. 1. Don't touch anything like RegCure, or next thing you know, you have to reinstall Windows. 2. Uninstall IE. 3. ....and my best advice - switch to another browser, like Firefox.Yes as Broni SAYS Uninstall the UPDATE and if you intend to use IE you should Update it to IE8 its much more secure than IE 7 so Re-Download the Client and run the install proccesss again When installing things it helps if your PC is running as little as possible to make sure theres no ERRORS so make sure you close all other applications while you install IE8 You may Also Want to use Fire FOX or Chrome as a back up Browser.

Answer» I have a Dell Dimenson 2350 which was GIVEN to me Less the Resource CD when I try to boot it tells me no boot divice detected . Question, how do I get the computer to boot , or where can I download the resource CD They can be ordered directly from Dell for a NOMINAL charge.Also ... 1.

8983.	Solve : advent pc wont boot at all?
Answer» hope someone can help...i have a advent pc that has died it had a 350w power supply i changed it to 550w and still nothing any help would be appreciatedWhat's the make and model? When you say it "died" does that mean there is no indication of power, when you power on the computer? First try plugging it into another wall outlet. Next try reseating the power connectors on the motherboard...If you've done those things and there is still no indication of power going to the computer, then most likely you'll need another motherboard... Hope you didn't spend too much on that new power supply. It's always good to try to borrow a power supply from another computer/or someone for troubleshooting purposes, whenever possible, before purchasing Define "died".......No lights,beeps,video.....? You may have disturbed another component when you changed the power supply. Reseat all your cards, memory, connections, and make sure heatsink is flush to motherboard and CPU fan is attached....Also check the connections from the front of the PC to the motherboard header.....common to have ONE of these come loose. If you do require a new MB, the power supply is a good investment.....if it was a bad supply originally, then it conceivably could have ruined a new motherboard.....It's good practice to change the power supply when installing a new motherboard .yes there is no power whatsover im usually quite good at repairs but im baffled its not my pc its a friends it is an advent t9304 nothing has been disturbed it just wouldnt come on one morning...it was running on 350w so i tried my 550w but still nothing"Advent" is NOT the manufacturer of the PC. Who made it? HP, Compaq, eMachine.......WHO? One thing you can try, if it's playing dead, won't cost you anything, well, maybe $3. With all power REMOVED from the system, take out the little CR2032 coin-type battery. Leave it out for at least 20 to 30 minutes. If you have a voltmeter handy check the voltage on the battery. It must be 3.0 vdc to be good. If not at least 3.0 vdc, replace it! Then after the above mentioned time, replace the battery, restore line power and try again to start up the PC. I've worked on several HP computers that appeared totally DEAD, till I performed the above process. Then they came back to life, good as new. A 350w PSU in a desktop computer is usually NOT enough power. It's especially bad if it's a "Bestec" or "Codegen" PSU. I'd always opt for a 500w PSU to replace a 350. The 350 on the PSU case is the momentary startup value, derate that by as much as 30% for the all-day operating value. Good Luck, Shadow (theshadow) the only thing it says on the tower is advent t9304....if i take the battery out will that diturb any FILES hardware etc.. Could be the power switch on the front of the PC....and of COURSE you've already checked the wall socket and surge protector, right? http://pcsupport.about.com/od/findbysymptom/ht/nopowertopc.htmyes karnac all checked Removing the CMOS battery will not disturb any files on the system...ok thanks ive tried taking the cmos batt out but still nothingThis is a Pentium 4...Are you using an ATX 12 V power supply with the auxiliary 4 pin connector...make sure the 4 pin connector is attached to the motherboard as well as the main connector.yes KARNA it is all connectedIf you think it's the switch, and you have a reset button on the front panel , you can use the reset button for the PW-ON switch by plugging the reset connector plug to the PW-ON connection on the motherboard header. Of course you'll have no reset button on the front of the case....If you are confident in the box give it a try and this will tell if the switch is faulty. Any sign of corrosion or leaky capacitors....... Kinda running out of options here, gragsy.......maybe time to think motherboard or escalate this to Patio or Broni.i appreciate ur help karnac but there is no reset button on the front...and no corrosion or leaky cappacitors

8984.	Solve : Annoying IE 8 error window at computer sign-on?
Answer» When I sign on to my XP system computer (and before I start my modem and go on line) I get this small error window: "Windows internet Explorer cannot find file :///. Make sure path or internet ADDRESS is correct." This began maybe four or five days ago, and it persists even after I TRIED to go back via System Restore. Note no file is specified, only that brief prefix which tells me nothing. I'm using NIS 2009, and that is giving me a clean bill of health in respect to spyware and viruses. My startup array is clean (nothing there that shouldn't be) and I keep that as lean as possible. This is essentially an annoyance. I haven't found any malfunction that could pertain to this. My computer seems to be functioning normally otherwise. Can anyone educate me re this please? It's odd that I would get an IE error window when Explorer hasn't even yet been activated and I'm not on line. I've Googled this issue to death to no avail, and I can't find this specific issue in your forums.What is your Homepage set to ? ? Do you have Active Desktop enabled ? ? If so turn it off and re-boot and see if the error goes away.Nope, ain't got no active desktop. I'm using one of my photos there. My homepage is comcast.net. They recently went to a newly designed main page. How would that come into play when I'm not yet on line when this occurs? This looks like a golden opportunity for me to learn something. Can you offer more info?Since IE is looking for a file ./// i assumed if Active Desktop was on that a shortcut on the Desktop or the Desktop background image was not being found... However that's not the case here. Does IE load on startup ? ? NOTE: This may be a hidden comcast feature... DLoad StartupCPL from Mike Lin and it will install a Startup Icon inside Control Panel. It's a tiny nifty app that will show exactly what loads on startup...even hidden items. Don't edit anyting you're unsure of though. P.S. What is that protection package you mentioned ? ?I use Norton Internet Security 2009, and I like it.... a lot. I think Symantec finally got their act together with this one. It's reasonably easy to use, it updates CONSTANTLY, and when it finds anything fishy, it tosses it unceremoniously. I've yet to smack into a virus or malware that NIS2009 couldn't handle. I don't think IE8 loads along with Comcast's software. I have to double-click the Explorer shortcut icon on the desktop to launch it. But am I certain? Nope. I would think that would certainly show in the startup array, and my start list is kept pretty lean. As for the suggested app, I'd need to know more. I did have a look at Mike's site. Much of it seems over my head, and I'm exceedingly cautious about adding anything I'm not confident about. Har-har, when I DL something it usually ends up discombobulated and lost SOMEWHERE in the desert, even if it doesn't gronk my pc in the process. After all these years, yes, I'm still a novice at many pc things as I stumble toward official geezerhood, sixty-five. I tried a System Restore via safe mode but, sigh, no dice. The little blighter is still popping up like a gopher out of his hole.Mike Lin has written many solid apps and is well respected in his community... We don't casually recommend things around here as we value our reputation.When you did the System Restore did you get a message that said "Restoration Incomplete"? This is known issue with Norton. You have to disable protection for Norton products in order for System Restore to work. You don't have to disable Norton but just the protection for Norton products. You can turn it back on after you've done the restore. Look at this page for instruction on turning off protection for your particular version. http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/sharedtech.nsf/0/c7a9848df95596b9882570c900605bf5?OpenDocument&seg=hm&lg=en&ct=us I suggest going back at least three days before the problem started. If the System Restore doesn't work, uninstall IE8. Go into control panel and select Add/Remove Programs. Make sure there is a check mark next to "Show Updates" near the top. Find IE8 and uninstall. When you restart, your computer will have rolled back to IE7. Furthermore I recommend that you download and install CCleaner. You can find it here http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/ Install it and let it analyze your system and then run the cleaner. This will clean all of the crap out of your computer. Then let it scan your registry for ISSUES. You will probably be surprised at how many it finds. Good Luck!

8985.	Solve : Windows taskbar and start menu aren't there.?
Answer» So somehow, after reformatting my iPod, I decided to turn off my computer. Well, today when I GOT on, it said something which I've seen before, nothing huge, I believe it was just giving me the choice of starting it on Safe mode or not. But then once I clicked on it, it seemed as if Windows was going to start, but then something I've never seen before CAME up saying something about doing a disk clean up sort of thing. Well, after that was all finished, and my computer was starting a window POPPED up saying, "An unauthorized -something something- will MAKE it so you no longer get updates." Then the only thing that opened, (oh thank you so much) was Firefox. Everything else is black. No Windows at all. I'm surprised that the internet even works now.Restart your computer and tap F8 repeatedly as it is starting ( before Windows loads). This will take you to the advanced startup menu. Choose "last Known Good CONFIGURATION".

8993.	Solve : Windows Strt Up Issue?
Answer» Hello all, I have been having issues when booting up my COMPUTER, when windows is starting up, it just stops. The mouse is movable, but NOTHING happens, right now I am forced to go through the safe mode menu and USE "start from last known good configuration". This is working for now, however it is a hassle and I fear that it too will fail. This has been happening for a long time, to my knowledge I did not INSTALL any new programs or download ANYTHING when this started. I am using a Toshiba Satellite A105 with Windows XP Home Edition. Any help would be fantastic on both how to fix this, and how it happened in the first place so I can prevent things like this in the future. Thank youSTART you computer in SAFE MODE With Networking...instead of plain safe mode Update your anti-virus defintions and run a scan.... Also, Download Malwarebytes, install it, update it, and run a full system scan.. If any viruses are found, be sure to rid them, and try starting your computer up normally again... edit: How far does it get before it stops, as you described?

8995.	Solve : Error message 1304?
Answer» I get an error message ("1304 writing to file C\documents & settings\all users \verify that you have access to this directory") when I try to install my NEW movie editing program. I've tried restarting my COMPUTER and reenstalling the disk with no success. I'm runnung Windows XP home edition. I need to know what the error message is and how to fix it. Funny thing is I was able to download this pinnacle program from their website on a 30 day free trial. I liked it and then bought the complete program with accessories from Best Buy. I was TOLD to uninstall the trial program before INSTALLING the new program disk included in the box which I did. When I uninstalled the trial program, I immediately attempted to install the new disk without any other computer action done on my part in between this process. That's when the problem began. Some have advised using a Registry CLEANER available for a price but I'm not sure if they work or are really safe to use regarding this issue. Hope someone can. Nalee was nice enough to try. Thanks pretty much says you don't have permission or it can't locate the path, change the rights of your profile or the target of the installation and see if that helps. Good luck

8999.	Solve : Mailwasher Pro black list and friends list?
Answer» I have used Mailwasher for a long time and developed and GOOD black list and friends list. I found a portable version of Mailwasher and works o/k. The only problem is that, of course, it keeps the black and friends list in DIFFERENT places. I have tried to copy Blacklist.txt from my original Mailwasher installation to different folders in the portable installation without any luck. The black list and friends lists in the settings window is still empty. Does any one know which files I need to copy and to where in the portable installation? ThanksHave you searched the installation path for all txt files such as a search for .txt in that installation path to see if OTHERS show. If so copy all .txt files to other system and restart program to read those txt file lists.In the help file I found that the balcklist.txt, filters.txt and the training folder should be COPIED to the new installation directory. The blacklist.txt contains both the whitelist and blacklist. I did this while Mailwasher was unlaunched. Then launched it. What happens is that size of blacklist.txt reduces and the blacklist section disappears, and there is no list visible in the blacklist in the settings window. Why should the blacklist be removed from the blacklist.txt? ThanksFound the problem. The Origin of spam setting, uncheck the checkbox for Check the origin of the EMAIL against DNS spam blacklist servers. Also uncheck all the expiry settings for spam settings.
