Only certian ones it will. My father and I cant go to anything. I have turned off firewalls and cookie things, and it still wont do anything.
Please HELP!Scan for Viruses, SPYWARE and Trojan Horses.

Who are the dudes?TAKE a look at your HOSTS FILE. You'll probably find it at "C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc". You can open it with Notepad. Does it list any of the sites that you can not access?

Solve : Can't access my site?

Answer»

[size=14]I have a LAN Connection through which i access internet ( that is my cable operator).

Now I also have a modem.

The PROBLEM is I cannot access my site anymore for last 3 days when I am accessing it through LAN.

Then i tried through modem and easily accessed the site.

So it is a problem in my LAN. Is it anything related to DNS settings? What's the problem?

I also learned that it can be for some malware present in my PC, for which I formatted my entire D: drive.

But still I cannot access my site through the LAN.

How to solve it ?

The following is my another ip, i.e. IP address which shows when i surf internet. (IS it the Proxy IP?? :-?)

202.90.105.46

But my actual IP address is 192.168.0.33 (given by my operator,or ISP )


Here I got some more information but cannot understand clearly:

http://banned.dnsstuff.com/pages/abuse.htmQuote

202.90.105.46

But my actual IP address is 192.168.0.33 (given by my operator,or ISP )

202.90.105.46 is your WAN IP
192.168.0.33 is your LAN IP.

Can you make use of the Internet at all?I am AFRAID I don't.

Ok, Ok.

What is the difference between a Wan IP and a LAN IP ?A LAN IP is the adress assigned to you inside your network, often by a router or a modem with built-in router capabilities.

As soon as you pass the router and go on the Internet (Or modem) you no longer make use of the LAN IP, but start making use of your WAN IP. Many people have the same LAN IP's, but WAN IP's are unique.

I belive i SEE your Problem, your Network appears to be Set to use Wins as the primary, and we cant see weather your DNS is set up or not because of this.

What i think you need to do is set up the DNS server you want to contact.

That would be your Gateway, which is 192.168.0.1

Open up your network connection Properties, Click on TCP/IP , Click Properties
Now you should See your Ip Address , Subnet Mask and DNS primary and Secondary Server Settings.
If you cant see DNS server Settings, goto Advanced.

Goto the DNS Tab, and Add a DNS Server, 192.168.0.1

Then Click all the ok Buttons. and Retry the internetQuote

Agreed, but if no changes have been made and this was working previously... Possibly the cable mode/router got scrambled? Do you have the original documents for installation?

Solve : Help with resizing!?

Answer»

I need help please. I have a photo I want to resize so I can use it as an avatar on a couple of message boards. I have read EVERYTHING I can find and tried everything I know but can not seem to get the photo small enough for using as an avatar. One of the places where I want to use it says it can not be any bigger than 90 x 90 pixels and no larger than 50 KB. IF anyone can help me I would be willing to send the pic to you to resize for me. Thank you.I can help you, just PM me and send the pic!Or wait for Soybean to find you!That's what you think. I am somewhat computer illiterate even though I seem to know quite a bit more than some folks! Make sense? I FIGURED out where to PM Mr. Google but I don't know if he will get the pic. It's on photobucket and I copy & pasted from there. These neat little message board thingy's don't give you much in the way of instructions plus if they did, I probably wouldn't understand.

Thanks for responding!Just press the browse button underneath a new message and find the file you want to upload.

Or just wait for Soybean to find you. I've got a feeling that he will be along.. Shortly..

Everyone! Ready the harpoon gun!Ok - thanks for the help. This is the pic I need resized. Hope this works. See, I can usually do it, I just don't have enough sense to know how on my own! :exclamation You want that resized to 90x90? I thought you said a forum avatar.

By the way, is it just me, or is that guy absolutely humongous?There are limits to how small an image can get and still be viewable as well as how LARGE you can make an image and still be viewable...

patio. 8-)Seriously, though, that guy is absolutely huge!

This is what the picture looks like at 90x90:



Nice Job...clearer than i thought.Thanks for trying to help. I guess I scared Mr. Google off! This guy is not humongous at all. It's Ernie Haase and he is the lead singer in a southern gospel quartet that is probably one of the BEST know groups in the USA. His group is Signature Sound and they perform alot with Bill Gaither at the famour Gaither Homecomings. Is is tall though. 6'4" or 6'5" I believe. One of the sweetest men around. You all should listen to some of their music. You'll be hooked if you do. I attaching a non-promotional pic of the group so you can get an idea. Three of them (one is the piano player) are very tall. This group is very energetic. I kept messing around and managed to get a resize that works on their site. What do you think?

Don't know how to do 2 pics on one post so here is the group!Ah, you got it right!

You should try "Irfanview" which is a very nice program to resize and resample pictures.Nah, you didn't scare me off, I was just gone for a while!Well, I did not have much time to visit the forum YESTERDAY and the day before and missed this topic. flashygram, that last image you posted, the 70x65 pixel one, is fairly good. Anyway, I'll go ahead and post two versions/sizes: 90x83 pixels, and 70x65 pixels. I think you might find my 70x65 a little clearer than yours, or maybe there's no noticeable difference. See what you think. Here they are:

[tr][/tr][/td][/tr][/table]

I did not create a 90x90 as you requested because that dimension changes the aspect ratio, the ratio of height/width, from the original and this tends to degrade image quality. So, 90x83 has the same aspect ratio as the original, and so does 70x65.

Nope, Copyright doesn't work like that.

How does it work?Depending on jurisdiction, an "artistic work" is protected by copyright laws for x number of years after creation or after the artist's death, whether or not registered with any kind of PATENT agency. Patents are basically a way of proving OWNERSHIP of copyright, rather than enshrining copyright law.

In RESPECT of your screen capture, I think we can assume that the owners of that program's copyright also hold patents on a time machine.I knew those were a 25 euros well spent!You might want to buy some stock in that company as well.

Well, from time to time I'd enter this blind rage and I'd start pounding on the screen because the game wouldn't let me win (I always had problems with computers that don't do exactly what I want) or I'd just smash the keyboard, but since I always use the little feet to lift the keyboard up, I could immediatly go out and buy a new one. Mice make good throwing objects. So do glasses, although that leaves too much of a mess. I once punched a hole in our roof (Sloped roof, you have to bend over to get underneath it) because the roof collided with my head. Ok, it's not really a hole. Just a big dent.

But I've learnt to control my anger. Having very expensive equipment around really helps.Quote

Solve : Revision A or B?

Answer»

Only recently someone told me that there are both Revision A and Revision B (Rev) motherboards and processors.

You can not mix A with B and not expect compatability problems, according to the person whom I spoke with. Is this true? If so, why is this? And what are the consequences?

What if I BUY components online? How can I verify that I do not mix revisions?

http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/white_papers_and_tech_docs/22473.pdf#search=%22Revision%20A%20and%20Revision%20B%20processors%22

maybe this can help..


its from 99 so I'm not sure but it might give a idea.I think you have to select the mobo then go with the manufacturers specs for selecting the processor (or maybe vice versa). Here is an Intel BLURB for one of its mobos.



Thanks, I'll have a read when I'm at work.Tell us something that only the real Raptor would know.You've been adopted.

How's that for starters?

None of these documents you linked me to quite answer my question; does anyone have any other ideas?I have other ideas. :-?Shoot.

Why do all my topics end up being spammed and I never get a decent answer? Are you people doing that on purpose?No. From what i've read there are Rev. A and B MBoards but not CPU's themselves...

Drivers therefore become the issue as you can only use the proper ones without trouble...

Let me dig out my LINX and info on this.

I believe that the white wire should always point to the left side of the motherboard when you are facing it, if I remember CORRECTLY.

Could it be a fan? Or perhaps it is a buzzing sound produced by an electronic part that is failing. Or perhaps it is the Hard Disk Drive.

Disconnect everything but the hardware you require to boot and then slowly rebuild your system to find the culprit.It is probably a fan noise but,you could read up on motherboard and PSU

It's not that bad, the information seems good, but you need to learn to work with different colours and shapes to make it look more attractive.

What kind of presentations do you want to build, anyway?this is just for my old high school teacher

Solve : Network via bluetooth?!?!?

Answer»

Hey GUYS,
How are we all? Ok well basically im just wondering is it possible to have a network sorta thing via bluetooth? For example ive already got one bluetooth dongle in the laptop, would it be possible to buy anther, stick it in the back of the P.C and then transfer data, music, pictures etc etc via the dongles??
Thanks

ChrisIsn't that what Bluetooth is meant for? :-?Well i assumed it was only for hand held DEVICES such as MOBILES, PDA's ec etc


ChrisOk guys scrap that QUESTION i gave you, i know the awnser, its yes. Ok well i have naother one. Whilst using a program i use to manage my Sony Erriccson W810i i reaslied it wasnt connecting, its becuase im not using the cable but im using the bluetooth. So on the Microsoft 'Help and Support' I searched for how to configure my bluetooth with my laptop. So basicaly it tells me to click on this link which is labled 'Bluetooth Devices' which is also acessable in te controll pannel, but when i click nothing happens, and when i go into the control pannel its not there! So basicaly what im asking is, where can i find this 'Bluetooth devices' ?!?!
Thanks

ChrisYou might need to install the drivers that came with the Bluetooth device.

OR perhaps you can find them under "Wireless connections" in the control panel where you can also configure Infra-red.I have installed the drivers.
As for the second one i cant find 'wireless connections'. But when i goonto 'Netowrk Connections it finds a Bluetooth DUN Connection (which is dial up apparently). It also finds local area conenction 3, which is my bluetooth as well. So has it done what 'Bluetooth Devices' would have done for me anyway, had i had the chance to find it?

ChrisYey problem basically sorted. All i gotta do is on my bluetooth dongle software I connect to the phone and then the software I use then picks it up on COM 9 or something. Thanks alot THOUGH Raptor, its apprecaited


ChrisOh, no problem. Thank you as well, I never worked with Bluetooth but know what to do now.

Solve : Printers??

Answer»

Is this the correct forum? Does anyone know anything about Xerox Phasers? I have a xerox PHASER 8400 where the paper is sticking to the drum on every color print. I say color, because it doesn't stick if I can get a cleaning PAGE to GO through. But on the first page with ink (wax) it jams up. The paper is supposed to glide along the drum and exit through the assembly, but instead, it sticks to the drum and wraps all around it. I've cleared the printer for SCRAP paper, replaced the maintenance kit and verified all parts move appropriately. I can't FIGURE out why it continues to take the paper.

Any suggestions?when did it start doing this??How recently has this printer had a new drum/fuser unit? How old is it?

Solve : interlacing photos?

Answer»

I am working with interlacing photos for 3D lenticular pictures. I am having trouble getting the exact image that I create to print with out the image software altering the image. You need to have an exact copy of the created image printed on PAPER. If it is off just a little then you LOOSE the flip or 3D affect. The quest is, how do I print an image that will not be altered befor it goes on paper? Help...Hello, mellond,

Exactly how is it different? Out of all the imaging software I've tried/bought, 100% of them print exactly the way that they are on screen.But, Dilbert, are you talking about "3D lenticular pictures"? I was not familiar with that technology prior to reading the question posted by OP, so I just Googled 3D lenticular pictures and now understand it's quite different from regular 2D images.

Here's one Google find: Brief description of lenticular technologyWhat most people don't realize is that most picture programs will fit the picture to the paper. This modification is so slight that you wouldn't even recognize that it happened. If you are interested in lenticular printing you could go and download "Magic Interlacer light" from http://www.promagic.net/. If you don't have any lenticular SHEETS you wont be able to make any 3d or flip pictures, but you would get an understanding of what it is and how it is done. This program is free to try out, which is good enough just to check it out. Another good site to check out is: http://www.microlens.com/ and go to the lenticular help button.Quote

I missed the "3D lenticular pictures" bit completely. Wow. Cool technology. You need professional grade publishing software for this kind of job. Corel/Adobe products might fit the bill. What are you using?I think I found the problem. In the printer setting, if you take away the options that prints your pictures quickly, you loose accuracy. And I print the pictures in the EMF format instead of the RAW format. I had to look up both of those TERMS. I don’t know which would be better but what I am looking for is something that maintains its dimensions no matter where it appears.

I found this DEFINITION for EMF:
EMF - Enhanced Metafile Format
Enhanced metafiles provide true device independence. You can think of the picture stored in an enhanced metafile as a “snapshot” of the video display taken at a particular moment. This “snapshot” maintains its dimensions no matter where it appears—on a printer, a plotter, the desktop, or in the client area of any application.my wee mind is hurting...

Solve : how to check........?

Answer»

if your pc is running 32bit or 64bit performance?

(i really dont know this thing)


thanks in advanceIf you have a 64 bit Windows edition and a 64 bit processor, then you most likely have it running in 64 bit performance. Whatever that means, though..Yep. If you don't have a 64 bit OS AND 64 bit software, you are running in 32 bit mode.i stick my quetion

how to check for that???Right click on my computer and then properties.

If it doesn't state that it's a 64 bit Windows or 64 BITS processor there, you haven't got either.What is your processor and operating system? You pretty much need to go out of your way to get 64-bit so if you're not sure, you're likely using 32-bit. 64-bit is supposedly faster and more efficient than 32-bit, but it'll be a while before it catches on, as I think code needs to be specifically designed with 64-bit in mind in ORDER to take full advantage, which is means old and heck CURRENT products won't take full advantage. But I don't know for sure. If you're that interested, google it Quote

Solve : MRU Lists?

Answer»

what are they i keep getting them when i scan with adawareMRU stands for "Most Recently Used"
Windows keeps track of programs you've recently RUN or documents you've opened etc. For instance if you GO to Start > My Recent Documents you'll see a list of documents you've recently opened. Likewise, if you go to the Run menu you'll also see a list of commands you've entered. MRUs are harmless for the most part but could pose possible privacy issues since someone with access to your machine could see stuff you've recently done. Ad-Aware lists them as "Negligible" because they can be ignored without fear of them causing any damage. There is a freeware APP called MRU-Blaster that detects and removes over 30,000 MRU lists.thanks for the infoyw CCleaner will also remove just about any MRU list you would have; this includes such things as the list of recently opened files in Word, Excel, etc.kool i thought it MIGHT but adaware found themWell, Ad-aware's search for MRUs is mainly focused on those originating from Internet access. It does not remove such things as the list of recently opened files in Word, Excel, etc. CCleaner does.ok thanks for clearing that up

Solve : Can SE Track URL Redirect???

Answer»

Can Search Engine Spider Track URL redirect?

I mean, can a search engine spider any webpage that is configured as URL redirection to another page?

Are you trying to PREVENT spiders?
There are many ways to prevent them. We can tell you other ways to prevent them if thats what your up to.

I would think that any programmer of a spider could make it so that the spider would search for REDIRECTS, but you should ALSO know that the spider does in fact look at the source and may be able to see it no matter what.Hi,

I am not trying to prevent spidering.

Actually I want a page to be spidered, i.e. I have a page which is using redirection and I am confused whether it would be spidered by the engines or not.


Quote

I would think that any programmer of a spider could make it so that the spider would search for redirects, but you should also know that the spider does in fact look at the source and may be able to see it no matter what.



Which source code are you talking about.

Because the former page (The URL before redirection) and the latter page
(the URL after the redirection) may have different code.

In that case whatever page (the former one or the latter one) is being spidered by the engines, the owner of the webpage will always want the latter
page to be spidered.

Note that : (if you are not aware of this):

The purpose of URL redirection is :

If a webpage owner has posted the URL of a page to different places (advertised) and later he decides that he don't want that URL to be shown to people anymore, then he will use URL redirect.
Another reason to use redirect is : if you have a badly named URL (that you have already posted to some places)and now want to change it, because you may feel that people will easily remember the URL with an easy-to-spell and SHORT URL.

If I go into my computer and click on this device's icon, I get the message "E:\ is not accessible The device is not ready" I don't know what ELSE to try. I have a Dell Dimension XPS T500 , I am running Win 98, and the factory installed DVD is a Toshiba DVD-rom SD-M1202 . Does anyone here know how to get it working properly :-? THANKS :-? :-?Scan for viruses/spyware.How good are you at mechanical things ? ?
CD drive trays are pressure sensitive. This is why you can press lightly on an open tray and it will close.

But because your's is opening i suspect there might be a foreign object inside the drive that is causing this.

I f you are adept at taking things apart i would go down this road by removing the unit from the machine and investigating further...

However if it's a fairly new unit i would consider returning it for a warranty replacement.

patio. 8-)It's defective...replace it.

Calm down! If we want to get out of this situation alive, we're going to have to keep our heads together..

OH MY GOD! ITS HUGE! SOMEONE! GET OUT THE SHOTGUN!

Oh no! And we can't get there because we're too inept to open Google on this perfectly fine WORKING LAPTOP and enter the phrase "Legal driving AGE Estonia" which would prevent us all from being mauled and chewed to DEATH.

Cake sounds good to me as long as it's a decent homemade coconut cake.

I believe the operative word here is "reliable"... to the people who are not clueless;
I do not think having more than (1) anti- virus / spyware / adware whatever is a bad thing. In fact, it is probably better to have (2) BUT , only one running at a time. Having 2 different programs can catch more "bad stuff" than just utilizing one program. On many occassions I have ewido find things my main DEFENDER program does not PICKUP and vice versa. The main POINT here being make sure only one application is running. Never both programs.
For what its worth.You only need one spyware scanner. If you get so many viruses that you actually need two to cover EVERYTHING, you're doing something wrong.

I never get viruses nor spyware.

Solve : Unable to send or receive email?

Answer»

I suddenly am unable to receive email sent by a friend from her primary email address and when I try to send email to that address it is returned to me. Yet when we both use her alternate email address we can receive messages. This trouble only started recently. Up until a few weeks ago we were both emailing BACK and forth using that primary email address with no problems at all. We then took time off for vacations and came back to this! It's as if something is blocking access to the primary address. We both have the same ISP and I thought perhaps there was something going on there. But we are able to send and receive emails from others who also have that same ISP. So I doubt that the problem is with the ISP. But one never knows. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you. :-?

jandalA little more info and perhaps we can sort out this problem...
What program are you using for e-mail ?
Who is your ISP ?
Has this HAPPENED with any other e-mail recipients ?
Installed any new programs lately ?

Someone will be along shortly to assist...What type of error do you receive?Thanks to patio and Raptor for taking the time to offer help. But I have managed to solve the problem myself. Since I felt as if my email messages were suddenly being blocked, I decided to CHECK it out. I went to Tools, Message Rules, and Blocked Senders list. Here I discovered that there were several email addresses listed. I have no idea how this occurred but I now have fixed the problem. Sorry I didn't think of doing a little experimenting first and I APOLOGIZE for not being more specific. By the way, my email program is Outlook EXPRESS. Thank you for helping me, friends!

jandalNo problem, thanks for the heads up.

Solve : convert to icon.???????

Answer»

ive collected so many icons (more or less 2000) but most of them they are on .png files
i want to convert them into a ICON file and i used this "Any to icon 3.3"


it works ok but i noticed when it convert a file with grey shadow the result "the grey shadow turns to black/dark shadow" and the smoth edges are turning to rough

Can anyone recomend me BETTER than this?


thanks in advanceNot sure if this is what you are asking:

You can make a Windows Icon file by going into PAINT
Making a small (or larger) picture
and go to Save As, select BMP, and save as
inconname.ico

Just add .ico to the end of the name, and it should show as an icon.Never tried this in XP, but in win9x you can use any .bmp image as an icon.I am fairly sure it works in 9x and XP... we shall seeQuote

thanks for that, but i know that also

as i mentioned i have more or less 2000 of them (MOSTLY .png) and i want to convert them as .ico
(common sense= you know its a tingy thing to open them one by one in paint then save them as you mentioned)

any ideas?

Solve : My book is here!?

Answer»

...just in case you didn't believe me (Raptor).

I can JUSTIFY posting this here because one of the characters in the book is into I.T.... *cough*

I hope as a long standing member, this won't be classed as spam or inappropriate advertising.

I am delighted - no, really really delighted! - to announce that my first novel is finally available.



His legs and wrists were manacled and his body was held in tension between those four points. He could not move to stretch or adjust position. The cold hard floor beneath him was unforgiving. The wood behind him was rough and splintered. This room was *censored*'s antechamber.

After a vanishing assailant attacks Jonathan Fenton's beloved wife, Jon naively embarks on a quest for revenge. A quest that takes him to the very reaches of reality - and beyond. He begins to discover the incredible story of his origin and his particular significance to the people of his world and others.

Now available >here< on Lulu.com. Soon to be appearing on Amazon, Borders and Barnes & Noble.

You don't have to buy it or anything... Good for you, Rob! I will be watching for availability on Amazon. I am not even expecting any references to COMPUTER Hope, just a good ride. Quote

I will be watching for availability on Amazon.
Lulu will probably be the cheapest place to buy it though, for the foreseeable future. Just make sure the movie doesn't suck Who cares, so long as it nets me lots of dosh! In the event you get rich.......

It DEPENDS. I would suspect that they might. Its mostly automated whether or not encryption is added or not, if they have your certificate and if they have one, then yes, they will use that. If you don't have one and they have one, then it will not be encrypted. If you have one and they don't, then it wont be encrypted.Quote

So I am vulnerable WITHOUT certificates?

Do E-mail clients such as Outlook Express and Thunderbird come with these free certificates?

If certificates are available on the net for free, wouldn't that mean they've been cracked ten times over?Quote

Not really vulnerable...

OE and Thunderbird do not offer them directly, but MICROSOFT does recommend some free services

Cracked? Not really. Though certificates can be broken into and BECOME invalid. Its all automated for you pretty much.There are 2 things being confused here...
Certificates mean that the recieved e-mail message is from who it actually says it's from... that's the purpose of certificates.

Encryption is a totally different beast.
If i encrypt an e-mail i have to send the encryption key to the recipient in order for them to view that e-mail...without it it is gibberish...Quote

And the key comes with the certificate.

You need the certificate to use Encryption, and to have a key.I'll go download a certificate, then.Quote
