Answer» My computer screen is upside down, can anyone help?http://forums.techguy.org/tech-tips-tricks/336002-windows-xp-flipping-screen-upside.html Read the first post. "Windows XP: Flipping the screen upside down and back again Once, at University, SOMEONE had flipped the screens of all the public computers (running on Windows XP) of the English Department upside down. The WALLPAPER, desktop icons, FONTS, mouse-cursor and EVEN the start-up screen...everything was displayed or MOVED upside down. People could not check out their e-mails or surf or do anything. To reverse the upside down screen mode, press ctrl, alt and the up arrow (arrows console) at the same time; the screen will probably go blank. Turn off the monitor, turn it on again and the display will be normal again. If you possess a sense of humour or are antisocial, press ctrl, alt and the down arrow simultaneously, turn off the monitor, turn it on again and everyone (excluding the culprit) will be desperate --> upside down!

3371.	Solve : Found a new cleanup tip for XP Pro & Server 2003?
Answer» I was googleing around today and CAME across this link that provides some info and "How To" for cleaning up "Prefetch Files" on XP Pro and Windows Server 2003. I don't know if this applies to XP Home. I guess a person would half to look and see if the Prefetch files are there. I am running XP Pro and I had a lot of files in there. I actually think I can tell a bit of difference in speed after following the procedure. Here is the link to the page. http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutorials/Gaining-Speed-Empty-Prefetch-XP.htmlYes this tip also applies to Microsoft Windows XP home edition. It's a good tip.I have CCleaner and opened it and saw under the "System" section the "Old Prefetch Data" which does have a check mark by it. And YET I did have lot of items in the Prefetch some dating back to October 05 even though I run CCleaner every few days. hmmmAre you meaning, do I still have CCleaner on this computer? If so, Yes. I emptied the Prefetch files manually when I found this info the other day. So CCleaner did not seem (according to the dated files) to grab everything when I run it. I did not recall seeing the same files twice, if thats hat you are meaning, but I did not study them extremely hard.Well, when I found this info I just CLEANED them out with out studying them real hard. However now, I do see many things that I recognize as being on my computer and a few not. I do remember one file from when I first looked at the Prefetch files. It was lsass.exe. I knew that was a bug. I deleted it first, then the others. I had a warning from Avast a couple weeks ago about a bug. I took care of it right then. Went to SAFE mode, shut off System Restore and went though with a full check of everything. And was clean.Mac, Thanks for that bit of info. I may be wrong but it seemed there was no Microsoft anything at the beggining of the lsass.exe file name. But I have slept since then. :-/Prefetch?... XP smoke & mirrors.

3374.	Solve : Pay As You Go (PAYGo) Broadband?
Answer» We live in the UK. Up to now we have accessed the internet via a dial-up connection. Researching 'BROADBAND' (ADSL) we are told we will be connected the moment we turn on the computer, in other words "always on". If that is the case, where then do the terms "Pay As You Go Broadband", and "LOGGING on to broadband" fit into the scheme of things ?? Secondly, the idea of being permanently connected to the web gives me the heebee jeebees . Once on broadband, is there a way of disconnecting when you want to use the computer for something other than SURFING ? :-? Thanks a lot HollytreeYour first question seems FUZZY to me :-/ You will need a DSL modem to have hi-speed access. YOuc an not use DSL with a phone lince going from the computer to the wall. To answer your second question... Yes, being on the net all the time can be scary. However, if you have proper PC protection, you have nothing to worry about. Have (1) Virus protection (2) FIREWALL (3) Spyware Protection. Those are the main ones. If you wish to disconnect, simply pull out the Ethernet or USB cord (whichever you use) from the computer. Easy as that. Keep us posted FLAME

3375.	Solve : Disaster recovery?
Answer» Anybody have any experience with disaster recovery? I had a hard drive, I guess the TERM is "crash", over the weekend, and some work I've been doing is on it. Some was backed up, but the most important, som of my wife's Christmas photos was not. They are of the grandkids & IRREPLACEABLE. also about 4000 Karaoke songs prepared for the computer. I'd like to get them back if I can. The drive was a slave 200gb Maxtor. The computer only recognized 135 gb of it, and I opened up and formatted the last 65gb. All was WORKING well, and I was USING both partitions, until I did a system restore to undo some changes. When the restore was complete, the computer only saw the last 65 gb. The geek squad at our local Best Buy could not open it. Any ideas?here is some software that MAY help, but if they are that important before trying ANYTHING at all, I WOULD contact a data recovery service. It can be kind of pricey, but..........

3379.	Solve : Crazy animated picture?
Answer» Good luck figuring this one out. Count the number of men in the picture, wait for it to change then count the number of men again. Where does that extra guy come from?Nice Admin. LET me begin like that, I think... When it changes from 12 to 13, man1 remains non replaced.(it has half-head when the number is 13).And man2 is replaced by man4 from it's own group and man3 is replaced by man 5, again from it's own group.(man3 has shorter legs when tne number is 13). And vice versa.Yeah I came across it recently during my websurfing and thought I would posted it. It really BLOWS my mind and I still have a hard time understanding it. :-?

3382.	Solve : Need to Repair Network Connections, Why???
Answer» I was just having this problem with my network connections, aboutevery hour or so, i need to right click and repair, and everything works fine again.... for a while i couldnt figure out why this was happening all of the sudden, then i finally FIGURED out what was causing this... the problem is from my wireless router, i have a non-wireless D-Link, that i use for 4 of my computers, and i have my wireless Linksys connected to my D-Link so that way one of my computers with a wireless network card would be able to connect to it. I've had this set up for a while without a problem... But for some reason, it just started disconnecting me from the internet, and if i hit repair network connections it will come back alive. But eventually, it will crash again and i would have to repair it again... It works fine forever when the second router is unplugged.. but i need it to be plugged in, If anybody KNOWS a way around this ssituation, then PLEASE help me... Thanks.325is...... I need a bit of clarification ........ Do you have 4 wire connected pcs plus a wireless laptop .......or are you using the wired router ( D-Link) to feed the 3 wire connected pcs and the 4TH wired output port is feeding your Linksy wireless router ...... In any event ...it sounds as if there is some conflict between the D-Link and the Linksy routers.........Doesn't your Linksy router have the ability to provide either a wired or wireless output ......If it does, why not just use the Linksy wireless router to wire connect your 3 wired pcs and wireless to the laptop. dl65 Two routers complicates things needlessly. I have a D-Link wireless and run both wired ( to 4 SYSTEMS) and wireless (to 3 more) in my house.dl65 - yes thats exactly how i have it set up, 3 to the D-Link and the 4th port connects to the wireless router Linksys. I cant exactly connect the 3 to the wireless router because i have it in a different location in my house, so that way the wireless compter can get a good connection up stairs. To me it seems as if there is an IP conflict or something, because this never use to happen. and its not a labtop that is wireless, its another desktop that is upstairs.so i guess this is a dead subject cuz of no more replies? :-/Which router has DHCP activated? Or do you use static IPs?well, im not exactly sure.. how can i tell which router is set up to do what, and which type of connect i have?

3377.	Solve : Data on portable drive?
Answer» :questionLast saturday evening I tried to reboot my computer, but it failed to boot. On monday I went to a computer place and they advised me that both the power supply and the mother BOARD are not working. I have purchased a new computer and have taken the hard drive out of old computer and made it into a portable drive. The new computer DETECTS & recognizes the "portable hard drive" and I can see the FILE folders, but when I try to open the folders I get the MESSAGE "Access is denied".

3393.	Solve : Can't open files after a restore after a creash?
Answer» I'm running Windows Vista on an HP Laptop dv9000. Last week I had a problem trying to open any of 2007 Office Enterprise software programs (Word, Excel). HP advised I try a system restore which I did. The problem was fixed but only for a few hours. I couldn't UNINSTALL or re-install Office Enterprise. HP advised to run HP recovery Manager which I did. It blew my system, I couldn't boot up. I took to a repair service who said the hard drive was fine, just lost all the data. He re-installed Vista with the latest version and updates and so far all seem good. I restored my files after multiple tries. The restore figured I was a different computer so I answered to restore to original settings (I ASSUME from prior to my crash). When the GUY restored Vista he gave my computer a different name, if that matters. Anyway the end result is I can't open some of my files with Word as I get the message "Word cannot open the document: user does not have privileges". I've tried going into properties of these files using administrator but I can't change the settings. Help! Try This...It WORKED. It was a bit different screens for Vista and I had to figure out a few things but it does work. I had tried this before but I must have not done something crucial. I found that I had to add the same user again which seemed weird but it worked. I tried changing it by folder and passing that along to sub files but that didn't work. After a few hours of doing this for each file I now have my files back. Thank you so much. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You're more than Welcome... Stop by anytime...In Vista, you can install this very handy right click add-on: http://www.winmatrix.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=13157

3394.	Solve : Road Runner & Cable - 1 Input?
Answer» I currently have my computer set up in my room in front of the cable wire coming from the wall. I have the cable wire into my MODEM but I also have a t.v. that I need cable on.

Answer» i have 2 computers and im having a problem connecting through the network, whenever i access the other pc using the network neighborhood i have to use a user and the password for me to able to access the pc, how can i remove the user and password so i can directly connect to the pc.. :-?You may add the user to SECURITY/sharing settings of the other computer. Let's suppose you have computers "a", on which you log on with "userA", and computer "b", on which you log on with "userB". You have more options (I have not read a windows book for some time, this year I will, but for now what I write here it's a "try and check" situation): enable the GUEST ACCOUNT on the computer with the share, and at security and sharing settings (right click on the shared folder, and choose security and sharing) add "everyone" or "guest" with the desired rights; at the same security and sharing options, for the shared folder (let's suppose the share is on "b") add "a/userA" (I have not tried that OPTION) with the desired rights. If the share it's on "a", then the user will be "b/userB". Tell me if it works, I'm curious CREATE the same user eg.USER on both computer and login as this user.

3398.	Solve : Re: Can you see through Windows??
Answer» While being expensive and somewhat UNRELIABLE, it is up to the user to get computer literate and keep things in line. Microsoft is a decent system, which I have not found many rip offs with. FlameYeh, but DOS still rules... Windows just makes the MONITOR screen look pretty...[size=12]"Can you see through Windows?" I assume that if I select Yes that means I like Windows. So I did. Let's face it. Windows has a heckuva lot more freedom than DOS. I learned DOS last year on a whim. It was fairly simple, and I was writing batch files in no time. I made DOS almost as customizable as Windows. But DOS can't access the Internet without Windows. 3D-Rendering is impossible with DOS, and I am a heavy gamer. DOS is incapable of using a Recycle Bin, unless you write a batch file to banish those files to a specific folder. And then you can't Restore items you put there, unless perhaps you write a batch file 50 lines long. Windows has programs that DOS could never do, such as Calculator. The search feature, CHKDSK, is good, except it gets a wee bit irritating if you need to check my 200 GB hard drive. Also, in DOS you can only run one PROCESS at once. I am running Firefox and Windows Media Player right now. That's something else. No music on DOS, or even sound beyond differently-pitched beeps. Well, that's my 50 cents.[/size]When DOS was in its heyday all of those things could be done, including multi-tasking. There were many excellent utilities that have fallen by the wayside and are no longer available since the advent of Windows. Though DOS does have limitations which Windows seem to overcome, don't under estimate the power of the OS. Windows has its own limitations, and much of those ACT to limit the power of the user.
