THANKS in advance.

Vincent Scan for viruses using Trend Micro online virus scanIs this from the net or cd disks......From CD ..... Unfortunately I removed antivirus from my m/c recently. Now I am not able to install even that.



VincentCouple of things come to mind.

How did you uninstall the AV? Did you USE the uninstaller that came with the package? Did you use the Add/Remove Software in the Control Panel? Did you just delete directories?

A previous install/uninstall did not complete normally. Most Microsoft products will INFORM you of this situation and either tell you to boot or ROLL back the previous install.

Your installer is corrupt. You can get a new one at:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=884016

Installing a new installer could be problematic however, since that's the very problem you're having.

Let us know about the AV. You may have to delete all references in the registry manually. Thanks for your effort on giveing solution to me. I removed the AV from Add/remove programs and it was successfully removed. So problem may not lay there.

Then wot abt the installer installation. Wot could be the problem. Anyway let me try this.

Anyway Thanks sidewinder.

Hello,

I need help to identify the below file. I found it on my comp and I have no clue as to what it does or where it come from. I did a search for it on the web but didn't get MUCH help.

Any help with this would be GREATLY appreciated.

Here is where the file is located on my machine : "C:\Program Files\wyvern"
Here is the name of the file in question: "Trickler_PIC_Wyvern_Wyvern.exe"Run a Panda online scan and if it's identified as adware then DELETE it.

Solve : Dot Matrix control Strings from Access??

Answer»

How can I send a Control string from Access to set the page length on a dot Matrix Printer Okidata 320 Turbo?
The manual had these control strings:

Code: [Select]
Form Length (ASCII)
n Inches (n = 1 to 22) ESC C NUL n
n Lines (n = 1 to 255) ESC C n

Form Length(DECIMAL)
n Inches (n = 1 to 22) 27 67 0 n
n Lines (n = 1 to 255) 27 67 n


You have to setup the string and pass it ALONG to the printer. Possibly a write string.

Hope this helps.

I purchased a laptop LAST YEAR. However, it started running SLOW. There are some files that I'm unable to locate and delete. How can format the C Drive? I could do it if I had Windows XP, Office 2003, and all hardware cds. However, the coimputer did not come with those cds. I have a SET of 12 cds and I think everything is in those cds. Now, how can I format C? All I know is how to di it traditionally, with floopy disk and stuff. If anybody has a link to a webpage where it's instructed step by step, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Solve : microsoft outlook 2003 problem?

Answer»

I've been using outlook 03 for a few months now and, and this morning is the FIRST time that I encountered this problem.
When I opened outlook, INSTEAD of sending/receiving, it started to do something CALLED "downloading hierarchy," and has been doing that ever since. It stopped receiving NEW emails, although I can still send, forward and do all those things.
Does anyone have an idea how I can get outlook to stop downloading hierarchy and start receiving emails again?
ThanksAre you using an IMAP email service? If so, you can SIMPLY delete and recreate the email account.

Solve : Adobe Photoshop Colors?

Answer»

When i go to or click on the color picker the color spectrum thing is all goofy LIKE in this image.
http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/9672/why6vy.jpg
does anyone know how to bring it BACK to the defaultDid you customize WINDOWS XP?yes i didThen the buttons and the bar are customized by you?

What do you mean by goofy? I do not see anything wrong in that PICTURE apart from the somewhat bizzare colours, but these are most likely your own doing.

You can reconfigure the colour schematics by doing the following:

1. Right click on the Desktop
2. SELECT properties
3. Appearance tab
isnt the box on the left with the colors supposed to be shades of a color and the verticle bar on the right supposed to be the color spectrum?the bars are fine but isnt the box on the left with the colors supposed to be shades of a color and the verticle bar on the right supposed to be the color spectrum?There was a certain key configuration to press in order to reset Adobe Photoshop to the default settings, however, I have forgotten what it was.

You may wish to do a Google search on it.

Solve : Mozilla Thunderbird/Firefox storage?

Answer»

Quick question:

Where do Firefox and Thunderbird store the Bookmarks and E-mails? I can not seem to locate the folders.

Firefox favorites: OS = XP

start>run type %appdata% then hit enter
Mozilla>Firefox>PROFILES>og8ygs21.default>bookmarks.html

They're displayed in html format but right clicking & properties will show the url.

Here's a bit of reading:
http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/profile#locate

That's where they are in my box anyway. Sorry can't HELP with Thunderbird 'cos not using it but the Firefox Help section might have an answer.

Just FOUND this too:
http://www.mozilla.org/support/thunderbird/faq#profiles

Thank you very much.

I had looked there, but I did not quite know what to LOOK for. I assumed it would simply display the bookmarks as Internet Explorer did.

As for Thunderbird, I think simply copying the ENTIRE Profile folder will suffice.

Solve : What is the best anti-sypware program??

Answer»

What is the best anti-spyware program? That cleans up all spyware from your computer also.I would say Spy Sweeper is the best software for Spyware that I have come accross.

FlameJuan Fisto..... LOL ...... thats a loaded question ........ I dont think that any of the decent ones ever get it all ....so if you ask 10 people , you will probably get at least 6 differant answers. I have tried it on several occassions and its ok , but it doesnt find it all ...... Now ,I would have to add ,that I have not tried the latest version of it Version 4.5 .....

dl65

I use AdAware and Spybot. As MENTIONED previously, one is seldom enough! adaware does me fine... but ive never tryed spy bot and adaware together, so i cant say how well that worksAd-Aware is ok , however it doesnt even begin to offer the protection that Spybot offers ....you should be using both ...... they get along just fine .


dl65 ill remember that, i know how much of a headache it can be to clean up spyware and adware manuallyI hate both Ad-Aware and Spybot. Neither offer real-time protection, giving the Spyware plenty of opprotunities to disable the protector. Not just that, but I want to know the second I get something. Not find out after buying things online.

FlameFlame, put Spybot into Advanced Mode & you will find out why it's highly regarded.ive had so many problems with spybot that it made me SICK. thats y i switched to ad-aware.having an anti spy program that runs in the background to find spyware is good, but with my celeron, i dont have the proccessing power to spare to be runnin anything like that, i hate this thing, i plan to build another, with a 775 socket 3.2 ghz Pentium 4 prescott HT with 1mb of cache out of an ole HP desktop (somones GIVIN me it free, they only use AMD) but, i do advise programs that run constantly if your computer can handle it. even with a gig of ram, my celeron d is far too weak to do much.... even when it comes to protection...There is no comparison between Adaware & Spybot, I've given up using Adaware in favour of running ccleaner and the Spybot Resident & EI Tweaks.Quote

i do advise programs that run constantly if your computer can handle it. even with a gig of ram, my celeron d is far too weak to do much.... even when it comes to protection...

I have a PIII-500 with 128 RAM that has absolutely NO problems doing this. What's the difference? I do not run XP! WIN2000 does all of this quite easily. There's a lesson here somewhere. spy sweeper is the best. i had a problem with adware, and spybot conflicting with spy sweeper. all three were trying to monitor the net and my connection was really slow.

now i just use spy sweeper and not problems at all.

Solve : Edit/Notepad?

Answer»

How can I enter a character in Edit.exe which will cause a page to be ejected from the PRINTER when printing a file using Notepad please :-?



Notepad doesn't recognise ASCII page feed characters QUITE the way DOS-level programs understand them. I'm not sure, but possibly HITTING Ctrl+Enter in Notepad might force a new page. Try that from Notepad. If it works, you can then inspect the file to find out what ASCII characters are used.

But normally, Notepad reformats pages and prints them as it sees fit. If you wish to have more control over layout, you REALLY should use a more sophisticated word processing package, many of which are available free of charge.Thank you - The suggestion for Notepad did not work so I will try Word..

Solve : install Network printer (compatib. Win98/Win2000)?

Answer»

I have a problem connecting to a printer that is installed via USB on a Win2000 machine. The o/s is Win98 and I think it is a driver problem.

When I go into the printer properties on the Win2000 machine, there is a section under 'Sharing' (Freigabe - i use german VERSION) about "additional drivers", that are apparantly needed when trying to ACCESS from another operating system.

I cliked on "Intel - Windows 95 or 98 - [not installed]" and it came up with asking the W2k-CD. I inserted the OEM cd, but I dont have the server edition, only the normal one.

So it is now looking for the printer driver for Win95 / 98 on this OEM CD in the E:\printers\Win9X directory. Which section is this on the normal CD? Or how else can I GET the drivers installed for the installation on my Win98 machine to work?

I have the following directories on my Ger_W2k_SP1 CD: BOOTDISK, DISCOVER, I386 (subdir. SYSTEM32/WIN9XMIG/WIN9XUPG/WINNTUPG), SUPPORT and VALUEADD.

Thanks for any help or guideline.The first thing you need to do is go to the manufacturer's web site for the printer and download all of the drivers, for WHATEVER versions of Windows you intend to support. Hopefully you'll also find some instructions there for supporting the printer over a network share.

If not, come BACK for further discussion! thanks, that just helped me on the right track *CLOSE*

Solve : Remote Admin?

Answer»

Does anyone know how to time out a LOGGED user on Remote Admin. My company is trying to insure that our PROGRAMMER is only on our system when our manager is there (A bit of a trust issue with our programmer and his code of computer ethics.) But he can remote in at just about any time, and once he is in, he can pretty much stay in for as long as he LIKES. We don't want that, and I couldn't see where to set the program to force log out after a certain time, I know other Remote programs like Remote Admin have that feature. And I'm sure that this one does too, I'm just not seeing it.
So a little help would be appreciated
If you can't trust somebody why would you EVEN keep them around? Just a thought.....I would say lock down his permissions, and restrict the hours during which he can LOGON. He doesn't need to be supervised if the permissions are sufficiently restrictive.

But as GX1_Man says, if he's not trusted, why employ him?

Solve : WMP10 Album Info Help?

Answer»

I need HELP. I just got a new laptop about 10 days ago, a Dell E1505. Intel Dual Core processor T2400, 1 Gig of RAM, 256MB ATI Video card, just to GIVE you an idea. I transfered all of my music from my sister computer on to here using a Jump Drive, EVERYTHING is fine. I put a CD into the laptop, WMP loads fine but when I go to rip, no album information shows up. I search for Album Info and it finds the CD automatically. I hit finish to apply the information to the tracks that I am about to Rip and either nothing happens or it freezes up. This is frustrating to say the least as it works like a charm on my sister's desktop. Any suggestions? I could try reinstalling it but that should be a last resort. Thanks for any help.

BrianHave you tried more than 1 CD?

Gizmo73Yes, I have. The thing is, the program will show the CD cover and all of the tracks for the CD, it just won't apply the information to the tracks that are ripped. I don't know what is wrong, unless the program is just missing a file or something.

Solve : Partition Magic?

We should start handing out awards for people who ask stupid questions.



The Demo versions are the free ones.the demo versions shows how program works, but DOESNT MAKE ANY changes!!!!SORRY!What o/s is question related to!The one and only TIME I've partitioned my disk after the OS was installed it wasn't 100% successful.
I finished up with missing bits &AMP; pieces
Maybe the partitioning programs are better now but I'll stick to doing it at the start with fdisk.
Meanwhile, whenever I get thoughts of putting linux on beside my windows I just give myself an uppercut.What is the PROBLEM with linx and win......Linux & Windows run fine on the same partitioned HDD, the problem is partitioning after you already have Windows + other programs installed.
Anyway, the Linux GUIs are turning into bloatware and in my opinion they are slow compared to Windows.
It's just that sometimes I get the Linux urge so the next computer will get some extra partitions for me to play. Quote
the demo versions shows how program works, but DOESNT MAKE ANY changes!!!!


Are you the kind of PERSON that manages to get run over by a train that does not move?You can't get partition magic for free unless you get some illegal way EG get a copy from a friend or a download from Kazza. But here is a free Alterative.

Thanks!!Did you get a driver CD with the scanner? What make and model? That COULD be IMPORTANT. Yes, it is an HP 3300c Scanjet. I tried re-enstalling but it still doesn't work.

Hope this helps

dl65 Looks like dl65 hit the nail on the head though

FlameFrom the age of the 3300c I would assume he is running 9x, in which case the process is simple if he has his INSTALLATION cd.
1. start/run and click OK
2. select "extract one file" option and type in stimon.exe
3. insert the cd (hold down SHIFT key while cd loads to prevent AUTO run)
4. click start.
The file should automatically be extracted to c:\windows\system
Remove the cd, close SFC, reboot.

Solve : High performance/reformat?

Answer»

I plan on reformatting my Hard Disk Drive soon and dedicate the computer I am now USING entirely to high performance for applications such as games.

Are there perhaps certain steps I should take before or whilst reformatting the HDD and installing Windows XP that will give me an edge over a normal installation?

Speaking of performance, would an onboard soundcard and/or Network CARD drain more or less system resources than expansion cards?

Would it be adviseable to disable my onboard network card and install a NIC?

The soundcard is allready disabeled.

Also, I have heard of slip-streaming, how exactly is this done and what are the pro's? Can I do this when I have SP 2 on a seperate CD?

Any information is very much obliged.Also, to still my curiousity, which (perhaps only in theory) would produce the better results? A PS/2 mouse with a PS/2 connector, or an USB mouse with a PS/2 converter (Or vice versa) or an USB mouse connected directly to the USB port?I think I'd delete and recreate the partition/s & do a full format as opposed to the quickie one. ntfs.
I'd use discrete cards as opposed to onboard stuff.
Slipstreaming
I'd install the minimum xp +sp2 and then disable all the stupid default services, who needs a FAX anyway?
http://www.blackviper.com/WIN2K/servicecfg.htm
I'm assuming you won't run W2K
The mouse is a performance matter for you to try.
My usb mouse running through a usb to ps2 adaptor work faultlessly. The ps2 port was designed for a mouse whereas usb was designed for anything that fits in the hole.
I heard talk of a gay site newsletter, Flame has a gay computer. I have never used the quick format before.

And I was allready planning on disabeling services. Is there nothing else to do before Windows XP installs? I have heard of installations where people take out certain things.. Merlin used to post links to these websites quite a while ago.

Quote

usb was designed for anything that fits in the hole.


I suddenly have this strange hunch as to who signed me up to the newsletter.... I used autostreamer to make my slipstreamed xp/sp2 cd, it MAKES it very easy.

http://www.softpedia.com/public/cat/12/2/12-2-183.shtml

No burner present at the moment. I will just do it the old fashioned way and spent 2-3 hours updating.

By the way, would it better, seen from the eye of performance to have a Master and a Slave on one channel or a master and a master on both IDE drives?

I suggest Norton Internet security 2005... The basic edition is very good, but if you can find the premium or professional edition, it will take you far Of course, this software is not free... if you would like a free (and decent) firewall, i suggest Sygate...

[glb]Flame[/glb]thanks bro..! Sure. If you need the link to Sygate, let me know. Also, should you need an answer to any other questions, PLEASE to not hesitate to come BACK and contact us! I'm sure other members of the forum will be replying o this topic as well... When it comes to firewalls and security, we are very opinionated

[glb]Flame[/glb]batman1071.........you may wish to check out Zone Alarm as well .......
http://www.download.com/3000-2092-10039884.html?part=zonealarm&subj=dlpage&tag=button

This one is free and does a decent job .........

If you have XP with SP2 ...it has one built in ....but it only stops incoming threats .........

If you decide to use Sygate, don't use the lastest version, they have an unresolved problem with it.
Go for the version before the latest one.ZoneAlarm and Sygate are excellent.bro tnx but i need one more favor,you offer me if i need the link to sygate,can you give it to me,cause i RECENTLY downloaded sygate v5.5 trial version,i cant find a crack for it,tnx again bro

Solve : AVG Free bug.?

Answer»

Recently I have installed AVG FREE on the following system:

DeskPro EN Series K500/10NTL
Windows XP Home Upgrade
30GB Seagate 5400RPM
8MB ATI Rage 2X AGP
Onboard sound
Intel NIC

Whilst installing, I decided to create a recovery disk to see what it would be like.

I clicked next until it had told me that it was creating bootdisk number one. I soon realised that I was going to need many diskettes and cancelled the progress. I then proceeded to update AVG Free without problems.

A while after, I had to reset the computer. And somehow, it managed to detect new hardware. At first I thought there was a problem with my external HDD, but this was not the case. I told it to look online for drivers and found none.

Then suddenly, I realised what it said.



It may be Dutch, but should look similair and familair to everyone using Windows XP.

This was not a problem. I did the Wizard once, completed it and it said the hardware MIGHT not function due to no drivers being found and installed.

I reset my PC again and I NOTICED that the wizard once again popped up. This time I told it that it had not warn me again and so it did. I removed the entry from unknown devices.

I then decided it was time for Judy Collins - Amazing Grace, which truly is a wonderful song, thank you very much Dusty and to my short lasting surprise, I had no sound. I configured Windows sound. Nothing wrong. No hardware conflicts. Nothing.

It took me one reset to determine that the speaker was still functioning (Built-in) due to start up beeps.

It took me another reset to reinstall the ESS 1968 Plug 'n Play soundcard.

Thank you very much for listening. I hope you all enjoyed my STORY as I did my little big adventure.


Its supposed to do that avg.>>updates..............and julie garland ......some where over the rainbow..........is must be cold where you are.......drink anti-freeze....gylcol.......if you receive messages from avg.....they have found something no other anti-virus program has.....>if you need to be big in the software market.......get noticed.......?

This anit your pc is it!!!The update wizard if AVG Free is not supposed to be detected as hardware and added to the device manager as an unknown device considering the fact that it is not hardware.

It is actually rather warm over here at the moment, Merlin. And I have no idea who Jullie Garland is, but she isn't getting behind my computer

And yes, this is my PC, I obtained it recently. You may notice the similair HDD specifications. This is because I moved the older HDD from my AMD pc to this Compaq DeskPro. Which originally had a 6GB HDD.

The other PC is still being put together but I need to have my IDE cable questions answered before I want to CONTINUE.

Solve : WIN98 cannot boot in normal?

Answer»

its my day-off today, im in internet cafe as of now to log this problem
this morning i met my OLD friend and ask my help regarding his computer


the problem:
1-
first i installed a ccleaner and its working
then i installed registry mechanic, it detects 330 registry problem but it freeze there, it cannot stop there also in safe mode same work same problem
he told me that few days past he cannot connect to internet because of problem in network (TCP/IP) and im not so familiar in this thing.
so we tried to fix by, Control Panel ---Network and reinstalling TCP/IP but the problem is he dont have the CD Win98 sE (because its a old pc and its only a gift, second hand)

2-so we try system restore by restarting in MS-DOs (scanreg /restore)
and then we choose the date, so then it reboot itself and its freezzzeee.
(written in the windows like this)

C:\>set classpath..................
C:\>keyb gr, , C:\windows\ command..........
C:>c:c\windows\odilhlp.exe

and then nothing more, it really freezed there
but it can reboot in safemode

Can somebody assist us?

thanks for readingA real Windows CD would be very helpful - now and in the future. THere is no "sytem restore" built into Win98 as such. WHat did you do in TCPIP settings?

Solve : Adding Router to Trusted zones (Zone Alarm)?

Answer»

It is SAFE to add the Router in my Network to the trusted zone list in Zone Alarm? I notice that both Sygate and Zone Alarm continiously block ICMP, ping and other requests by the router.

Is this harmful to the INTEGRITY of the connection?About this router.... Does it have a "built-in" firewall?

[glb]Flame[/glb]YES.

It concerns the only wired router Q-tech have developed.Then I would say this it is safe, because it has a firewall to back it up... Just my opinion.

[glb]Flame[/glb]And what if the firewall is letting the packets that are now BLOCKED by my software firewall through?

I do not THINK I want to allow it just yet. First I need to figure out if its harmful that the software firewall blocks them or if it does not matter at all..

Solve : getting older software to work on XP?

Answer»

Hi! I have many SOFTWARE programs that WORKED great on Windows 95, but they won't work on Windows XP. When I try to install them I get this error message:
"16 Bit WIndows Subsystem
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose 'Close' to TERMINATE the application."
I then have the option of choosing CLOSE or IGNORE. Whichever one I choose, I am not able to proceed to the installation. I have tried the program compatability wizard with every possible setting, and I always get the same error message. Is there any way I can run these programs on Windows XP (Home Edition) ?? :-/

I had this problem once... See this link. This will solve the problem... http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;324767 ...

[glb]Flame[/glb]Thats the downside of winxp+ more anyway have a look here>http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/helpandsupport/learnmore/appcompat.mspxI started to follow the guideline that flame suggested, and after I typed the first line of stuff in the black box ( sorry I don' t KNOW what it is called!!) This is what it said to me:
Microsoft File EXPANSION Utility Version 5.1.2600.0
Copyright Microsoft Corp 1990-1999. All rights reserved.

Destination is not a directory: c:\windows\system32\config.nt.That is known as the command prompt.. Follow the directions VERY carefully... They explain EXACTLY what to do... By the way... You have to type in this exactly... CD-ROM Drive Letter:\i386\config.nt_ c:\windows\system32\config.nt (except for the CD ROm drive letter in the beginning. That is up to your computer configuration. You have to figure out which letter it is in... Usually D or E )

[glb]Flame[/glb]You can restore a backup version from the repair directory:

copy c:\windows\repair\autoexec.nt c:\windows\system32

This also works for CONFIG.NT

Hope this helps. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! It works!!!! lol, I was literally typing CD_ROM DRIVE LETTER instead of putting a letter! Thanks so much for your help!!!

Solve : AVG Free E-mail scanner?

Answer»

Quote

(clears throat) That's why freeware is a last resort for me. So many bugs... Never fixed...


If you never use freeware, then how do you know it is so bug RIDDEN? Windows XP isn't freeware, yet it's bug ridden and it doesn't seem like it ever gets fixed... Do not be so biased.

I need a better guide, one that is dedicated to Gmail and AVG Free. I shall look for it, unless anyone has a good recommendationAppearantly, this information, will also work for Thunderbird.

ZoneAlarm was blocking the access attempts. Even though it did not prompt me for a connection nor did it show in the Firewallogs, I had to SET AVG E-mail scanner to Trusted/Internet for the SERVER section.

This worked once, until I blocked the access to the Internet to determine wheter both or only one needed to be tagged. Now it stopped working. Great.Quote
AVG Free did not even take notice of the incoming Eicar test viruses.

That's STRANGE, I sent myself the 6 test emails, my server knocked out 3 (which I don't like, I'd prefer to get them myself) and AVG tagged the other 3 as {VIRUS!}.
AVG performed faultlessly.
But I do use the superior email program, Outlook Express. I know about the bugs, I know a freeware junkie who has it. He told me there's a lot of bugs. I've seen some of the problems.

It MAY be because you store E-mails under the default folder. I store them on another partition.

Or perhaps Gmail neutralized them. I now notice there are no attachments.

Solve : Wanted: Simple Video Editor?

Answer»

I'm looking for a SIMPLE freeware/opensource video editor to do some basic video editing with. I've searched sourceforge but haven't come up with anything satisfying yet. One editor called "Jahshaka" seemed promising but it bogs down my 800MHz PIII and the controls aren't exactly intuative.

What I'm looking to do is simply remove the audio track from some .mpg movies and delete portions of the videos. It shouldn't be that difficult to find something to do those things. Any suggestions? Thanks.


--Oobhttp://lists.thedatalist.com/Using this www.deskshare.com/vem.aspx
it meets ur demands , also
by Video Edit Magic u can transform avi to mpeg formatFed, I took a look at that “list of lists” under the “video editing” subcategory. Only one seemed to be what I was looking for. It was http://virtualdub.org. I tried it out, but alas, it spazzed out and died. Don’t ask (I’ve never seen a 40 meg .mpg file turn into a 3.4 gig .avi file).

Thanks for the suggestions LegoLas. Video Edit Magic was nice, and did have the features I was looking for, but the fact that it was a crippleware version that added a tag to edited files and only allowed you to save to their proprietary file type prompted me to kick it in the bit bucket.

Back to the hunt. Of course, any further suggestions would be appreciated.

P.S. if you need the Keygen to activate it to Full Version P.M. me and ILL send it over.. through e-mail.. I have used sony for about 6s now and it meets all of my demands...


Here is a Screen shot of the program:
Hey Fed. No, I didn't see the link to VoodooFiles.com. Thanks for the heads up. It seems like half of the programs on the list are converters or DVD rippers though. Their might be something good in the other half, but it'll take a while for me to get around to systematically trying each one that LOOKS promising.

Maksim, thanks for the tip. I downloaded it and tried it out. First, I was disgruntled at the software for needing way too much personal information to be filled in before it would even let me install the software. It wanted full mailing address, name, and e-mail address before it would continue. I wonder if they'll actually try to snail mail spam "1313 Mockingbird Lane, Transylvania Pennsylvania"? I'm also a bit suspicious of some of the "Madison Media" files that were installed on the machine. Windows Defender detected some system changes from some files that I think had the name "Madison" in them, but was unable to block them. I'm definitely going to give my system a thorough comb-through.

I winced but decided to try to do my simple video edits and then uninstall Sony Vegas. When I tried to open the first video file, a friendly box popped up informing me that the trial version did not support opening MPEG files, but if I would invest a modest sum of money into purchasing the full version I could edit MPEGs as much as I wanted. *sigh* I just don't feel like converting them to a readable file format and then reopening them in Vegas. Sorry.

Thanks for the effort though. Looks like this editing project will have to sit on the backburner for awhile. I thought there would have been more opensource video editing solutions out there. Anyone want to start a project on sourceforge with me?

Solve : Powerpoint and Flash?

Answer»

I was doing HOMEWORK for Spanish 1 and I came across a problem. I have two Flash animations in my Powerpoint, but the sounds embedded in them play immediately, as in at the beginning of the slide show. This causes more than a little annoyance. I need to know soon: How can I stop the sounds until I reach that slide?

And no, computers do not have anything to do with the homework. If you right-click on the Flash animation are any Flash controls exposed?In preview mode, yes. However, the sounds are playing even THOUGH "play" is unchecked, and it's doing it in Slide Editing mode (my name for what you see when you first open PowerPoint)!

School is in ONE hour, I'm probably too late and will have to just mute it. But I should know for future reference.You may need to use Flash's API (via Visual Basic) to control how the Flash animation activates. Can't help you with that. I'm afraid. Not familiar with the Flash API, and very rarely use Powerpoint.

There might be a simpler answer. If you're happy to email the presentation to me, I'll be glad to take a look and see if I can figure it out. PM me, if so. Not that I have any great insight, but two heads might be better than one.

Unless someone else here can answer the question definitively...It probably cause by is own Flash coding
You might have to program the (.swf) it self that if you have the working document files (.flash)
I know a similar thing that happen before that is cause by this problem
What i did is put an mp3 file in a flash files, the play lenth of flash is shorter than is music play lenth, and i also didnot time control
so what happen is the flash file will play at the same time as the music WOULD start and when the file loops the music will STILL be playing.

i think its still running while he try to uninstall it
and im thinking hes trying to install (the new one) the same what he has as of now (maybe upgrading)
because if it is another kind of AV, he cannot get a problem to install it even he has another one running
(just a thought)So the problem is that you are trying to delete an old version of you software but it had an error while trying unistalling
Reinstall that old version and trying to install it again.

Solve : why do proxies slow down the speed of the browsers?

Answer»

i am using firefox 1.5 and USE a proxy typed in the connection settings and not any program,but when i use the proxy i see that a page takes more time to load than in dirrect connection,why is this and is there a way to overcome this problem

my second problem is that i cant view my mails in gmail using a proxy,is there any other e mail service which i can use to view my mails using the proxy?
thanksThere are a few possible reasons for PROXIES causing a slow-down, but here are the main two:

1. Bottlenecks

Your connection to any point on the internet is only as fast as the slowest segment of the connection. Slowness can be for all sorts of reasons - overloaded routers, routers that "shape" traffic, i.e. only allow certain traffic through at a certain pace. The proxy itself may allocate limited bandwidth to each connection - or the proxy may be overloaded, which would be very likely if it's a public anonymous proxy.

2. Processing

Anonymous proxies (as opposed to CACHING proxies) usually do a bit of processing, stripping out certain BITS of data, inserting custom headers, footers, advertising, etc. Processing takes time, and slows down the experience for the end user.

As to your Gmail problem - it may be blocked by the proxy. Or the communication may be too complicated for the proxy to HANDLE. Either use a different proxy, or no proxy.thanks

Solve : Strange Excel Problem?

Answer»

Ok, I admit this is a weird one. I am manually deleting duplicate contact RECORDS from a CSV file in Excel. Ok, I was trying to REPLACE ALL in a specific column where I NEEDED no EXTRA spaces but instead of the one column it replaced everything!!! Without knowing, I saved the file...

So my question here is how do I get the spaces back where they're needed like in the Address Field, Company Name field, etc.? Is there a macro I can do? If so, how? Most of the fields are in title case... which helps show distinction.

HELP!!! It's due back to my client tomorrow!!!! A macro would have been helpful for deleting the duplicate records in the first place. Since it' too late for UNDO, you might be able to write a macro provided there is a way PROGRAMATICALLY distinguish title case. Check out the Excel help screens.

These sites may be helpful or give you some ideas.

ThreePutt1972The first most important thing to recover any deleted file is not to have any activity on the hard disk like copying/moving/deleting other files etc.

Then, you should set up any of the "data recovery" software and pray that your deleted file is not written upon by other files and is intact and you can recover it.

Later I also tried my DVD drive and recieved the same response . My computor now can only play MUSIC that has already been RIPed or downloaded to my library. ThanksPost in only one section.
