4252.	Solve : Was Windows Vista a real success for Microsoft??
Answer» To find out what's on your mind.....No, because not many people "agree" with Vista, IMO. In their own words no. You might want to red here http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=adlcdTrJJuNEI wonder how many people will say "No" even though they havent tried it yet... I will say this: I have voiced my opinion, and anyone who sticks around on this forum enough knows exactly what I think about every Operating System in existence, including MenuetOS. VOTED ''can't say''. I don't have much trouble using VIsta but i've heard a lot of people complaining. I have only used it once, maybe twice, so i really can't say.I've been using it since it was in beta. It has improved since, but I still think it sucks. Vista has strengthened my interest in Linux and its various distros, though. (I hope to one day become a Linux geek with a fully tweaked install of Arch Linux.)I honestly don't see why people are still complaining about it. When it came out, it sucked. I bought a new computer around the time it came out and it came preloaded with Vista. Half the programs and games I wanted didn't run properly or it took a lot of EFFORT to get them running. ALSO, some hardware didn't have drivers for Vista at the time. I immediately installed XP when I got the new computer. A few months ago, however, I tried Vista again. Everything seemed to run fine. If you have the hardware to run it, I don't see any reason to complain. I also like the new features, like the preloading of apps you often run into RAM. Many things start up faster, especially Firefox. Also I read somewhere that Vista runs drivers on some different level of the kernel or SOMETHING. This is an improvement over XP because in XP when some important driver crashed it made the computer BSOD, but now it just restarts the driver and a balloon pops up from the TRAY telling you about it. Plus, look, SHINY! Could have done better in this department though, I like what Linux can do now: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JI-ye1oa4N8 I voted yes.

Have you got a case? and PSu? what are you using this system for??? And if it is an online store you are buying from can we have a link?? I will post other links to stores once i know where you are from, what you need it for etc.ummmm first off im located australia melbourne and the link for the store im buying it off is here http://www.msy.com.au/SYSTEMS/Amdgame.pdf thanks for all the responsesDude that's alot of $$$$$$, if were you i would take Hommer's advice. There are many online sales were you can get PC peripherals for cheap $$$$$$$.You might be able to buy a cheaper preconfigured computer and spend the extra money you saved and upgrade only those portions of the computer that you feel is worth the UPGRADES. Some online computer dealers offer barebones kits which include "bottom of the barrel" parts. I have been building COMPUTERS myself for the past several years. They have been "middle of the road" specs. Depending on what you plan to use it for, you should decide how much to spend on it. If you just plan on using it to surf the net, EMAIL, and word processing, you could get by with lower-end parts. If you plan to use it for gaming and things that require higher power, you'll want higher-end parts. For me, personally, I prefer something in the middle.oh yeah, middle ground might be a good idea if you think you might have a desire to go play some computer GAMES now and then but you're not interested in the high tech gaming gears. Games are a great time-waster. I have better things to do with my time.first off i just wanted to say sorry it took so long my internet didnt get paid -.-" well anyways im going to be using this computer for gaming photo editing and most likly video editing so i want to get a fairly good computer.

4263.	Solve : more info on hotmail not opening?
Answer» I recently was able to TRACK the # for my HOTMAIL ERROR. The message SAYS "Error # 12037 connecting to www.pastport.net: The date in the certificate is INVALID or has expired. One of the reasons it gave for this was that I may not have used my hotmail in over a year thus it would expire.

4265.	Solve : Acronis?
Answer» I have Acronis to BACK up my computer. However, the file is compressed and too big to fit on a DVD. Is there any way I can "uncompress" it, REMOVE unwanted programs and burn it to disk?The FIRST step you should do before burning the image is to use the Tools section of Acronis to "verify" the image...this ensures it is a valid workable image. Then simply use your burning tool to make as MANY DVD's as needed. Most decent burning apps let you choose the sizes at the beginning of the burn. I use CDBurnerXPPro but Nero and other top of the line apps will do it as well.

4271.	Solve : Memories of Robert F. Kennedy?
Answer» http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/06/05/eveningnews/printable4158341.shtml Quote Memories Of Robert F. Kennedy NEW YORK, June 5, 2008(CBS) On the morning of June 5, 1968, MILLIONS of Americans woke to the shocking news that New York Sen. Robert Kennedy had been shot after winning California's Democratic presidential primary. Kennedy - 42 years old - died the next day. The senator's campaign staff included a young man named Jeff Greenfield, who is now, of course, CBS News' senior political correspondent. Now, on the 40th anniversary of RFK's assassination, Greenfield shares his memories. When you look back 40 years, there's always a danger of buying into myth; of romanticizing a time or a prominent figure. But after spending hours looking at old films of Robert Kennedy's 1968 campaign, I'm convinced that what I remembered-and admired-was something very real. There was, first of all, the campaign itself. Since it was my first glimpse of presidential politics - I was 24 years old, working as a junior speechwriter - I didn't know then, how remarkable it was. The controlled hysteria of the campaign plane, the size and intensity of the crowds, the sea of hands and faces, and at times near-frenzy. There was also a lot of humor. Robert Kennedy had very little patience with the platitudes of politics, and he often mocked them - and himself. Listen to him explanation to the citizens of Pomona, Calif., why he won't put on the oversize sombrero they gave him: Kennedy said: "What if its too big? What if it's too small? Then it'll fall down over my ears and you'll be embarrassed that it's too big. Let me try it on at home." The crowd implored him to try it on. Kennedy said: "I'll say this, if I'm elected president of the United States with your help, the first day I'm in the White House, I'll put the hat on." And at a California college, he began a speech with the obligatory quote: "Thomas Jefferson once wrote that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing. But If I'm elected president … don't try it." Apart from playing with his audiences, he would also challenge them. The most enduring memories of his appearances for me is how he would push his listeners into thinking. When talking to college students about why he opposes draft deferments for college students: "As you stay here and sit here and debate all these questions and TALK about the morality of some of these problems of the poor and all of these other difficulties, and then say a person who has the right and the ability because of maybe what his father did or mother did, or place that he happens to live, has the right to go to a college or a university and therefore doesn't have to be drafted and a poor boy who happens to be black has to be drafted. How you can argue that and state that?" He would condemn violence and lawlessness in the ghetto, but then add this: "But what is also necessary is that we understand one another. That you understand their problems and that the black people of the United States understand that you are concerned about them." He was also ready to challenge himself. When he turned against the War in Vietnam, he would always include this: "And when the history is going to be written about this conflict, I'm obviously going to have to take my share of personal responsibility. I happen to think I learned something from that." At the heart of Robert Kennedy was a sense of passion, even outrage at conditions he often called "unacceptable." He was a Democrat who hated welfare, not just for the anger it stirred among taxpayers, but mostly because of what it did to the poor: "They might have wanted fathers and they might have wanted husbands. We have given them instead checks and a dole," he said. t all came to an end in a hotel kitchen in Los Angeles. But my last memories are not of that moment - but of the train ride that took his body from New York to Washington - a train ride that stretched for eight hours. Inside, there was something of an Irish wake; family members greeting friends and campaign workers, telling old campaign stories. But every time we looked out the window, and saw the countless TENS of thousands gathered to say goodbye - kids and Cub scouts and Little leaguers, veterans in their old uniforms, that sense of loss was overwhelming. People still ask, "what if?" Could he have been NOMINATED, could he have been elected, could he have governed effectively? We don't know, can't know. But did we lose a rare kind of public figure? That I think we do know. © MMVIII, CBS Interactive Inc. All Rights Reserved. Anybody here seen my old friend Bobby? Can you tell me where he's gone? I thought I saw him walkin' up over the hill, With Abraham, Martin and John. -- From "Abraham, Martin and John" Recorded by Dion and written by Richard Holler (1968)A very fitting tribute to the man, Aegis... I have to admit...out of all the Kennedy clan...I admired Robert the most. Thanks for the post, my friend...I enjoyed reading it.Thank you, Saviour. As I stated on another forum, they weren't perfect, but I can think of no one better across from Nikita Kruschev during the Cuban Missile Crisis. I was a boy then, with little understanding, but yes, I think Bobby would've been the best of them. (Now I'm a middle-aged guy with, apparently, little understanding.)

4275.	Solve : Samsung SCH-U550 Help?
Answer» Hey I just got this new phone as an upgrade. On my PREVIOUS phone Nokie 6215i i used the program Tone this to send ringtones to it made off mp3's on my computer. I did this even though my phone was not on the computability list i of course selected a similar MODEL and sent it from there. I CURRENTLY have a Samsung SCH-U550 it is not on the compatibility list so i selected the Samsung U340 a DOWNGRADED model. I then proceded to make my ring tone. When i sent it it came in as only bursts of noise like music for .5 seconds then silence for 2 then another .5 seconds of music. I thought "oh maybe it has the same limitations of my last phone. So i made sure the ringtone was under 100kb and still this happened.. i then attempted selecting many samsung models and trying again and again wiht no success.. i finally used a copy of Numa Numa or w.e that was 56 KBps and it worked! i then tried it with another song lowing the bitrate to 56 Kbps and it did not work .. i even tried the same track as before and still not working.. so basically what im asking is, does anyone know how to send computer made ringtones to this phone so that they will work or know of a PROPER program to do so for this phone

4276.	Solve : Great company!?
Answer» I am so Impressed by this company I have to tell others. I am sure alot of folks know this already. But Newegg.com Is awsome. I placed an order for a printer yesterday, June 2 And when I got home after work my printer was at my DOORSTEP. Unlike another company that I ordered from that sent my stuff to the wrong address and I did not get my order till 22 days later, thats counting buiness days. I also ordered some ram from them took 2 days. NEVER ORDER OUT OF COUNTRY. GLAD to hear you got the printer... Was it the one we had talked about? I certainly hope you ENJOY it. You're right...Newegg is definitely a great company!Yep, newegg.com rocks! I live in Ohio so shipping takes a bit longer, since they ship from California. But, I can see, via online shipment tracking, that they usually ship within a day or two, maybe even the same day, of my placing an order. I think tigerdirect.com is another good online source.Soybean newegg is opening 4 new distribution centers so you're lag time to Ohio should improve a good deal...Interesting. Thanks for that info, patio. I'd second that, Newegg is a great company. Although my last few purchases have done have been through Amazon, since the prices were cheaper and I have the option to do free shipping. Ordered a new laser printer and was amazed that it could be shipped free. With gas prices I'd imagine they'll be changing this in the future. Has anyone else NOTICED price increases on Newegg? Or is it just some of the things I've ordered over the last few months?I've actually noticed the opposite in the last 2 months...i had price watch set on 3 items and they all came down so i grabbed em'...

4278.	Solve : Canon Laser Class 7000 fax problems...?
Answer» HEY everyone, I've got an ancient machine here that my office has been using for about 15 years now. It's just about ready to give up the GHOST and so we bought a replacement fax machine and I'm trying to find a way to print out a report that lists all the names and numbers that were programmed into the machine. We don't have a manual for it and it's so old that I haven't been able to find one online EITHER. If anyone has ever worked with this kinda thing before, any help would be greatly appreciated!What is the OS of the computer that is controlling the printer? Jonas Windows XP (i think it's just the base version, not pro or anything)So XP SP1. What do you actually want to do? Print the driver info or what? Jonas Is this a printer as well? If it is, could you disconnect the printer/fax from the phone line, shut it down, and hold down the CANCEL button, and start it again while holding that down? Many printers will begin printing test information, which may help you. (Why disconnect it from the phone lines? To make sure it doesnt make a "test" call) It's just an old fax machine and what I'm trying to is print out a list of all the fax numbers that are programmed into it so we can put the numbers into the new fax machine so the people running it don't have to manually type in the numbers EVERY time.

4284.	Solve : Xbox 360 and a DG834G?!?
Answer» Hey there guys! Well basically I rarely GO on my 360, but when I do it seems to effect the wireless. The 360 is wired via an ethernet to the DG834G Netgear ADSL Wireless ROUTER. So when I boot up my 360 it AUTOMATICALLY connects to the router, but then if someone then tries to use the INTERNET via the wireless the laptops, computer, and mobile phones just dont find the wirless at all. However if we then connect to the router via an ethernet it works fine, no problems. The problems vary in length, from maybe 10 minuites to about a whole day. We do unplug the router and then TURN it back on but it doesnt really help. The wireless just comes back on when it feels like it. Slightly weired to say the least. Thanks Chris Also I think its worth noting that the problem still presists even if the 360 is turned off.

4286.	Solve : XP mystery - experts needed?
Answer» Lovely to see so many helpers out there! We have a problem START up... XP operating system 1.Goobly-gook wording on the start up screen, missing letters and ocassional heavy vertical lines... some winging type symbols in text lines... some letters arrive slowly to fill in the missing spaces... 2. Options to safe mode etc (will start in safe mode) 3. When starting WINDOWS in 'normal', it crashes to grey screen after the windows icon picture. We are on the third new hard disk... second network card... new power supply, new hard disk cooling case, new tower case, and an ever shortening fuse with the 'expert company' that is trying to fix the problems... and wish we would dissapear...they have "never seen anything like it before", but I'm sure someone here has. Any ideas out there other than a new machine? It could be a physical problem with the motherboard/CPU/RAM Download and burn Memtest86 http://memtest86.com/ Now, you say that you replaced the HDD: Does it contain the exact same content (documents, files, etc) as the first one? If so, it could be a virus that you keep copying. While in safemode, go to: Start> Accessories> System Tools> "System Restore" Restore to the data before the issue started happening. Thanks Zylstra, MMM, tried the last known good "sys restore" settings without any success, some time ago. The new HHD was freshly loaded (but did they?) so the immediate virus suggestion is out (but a good idea of yours). I will try the mem test and let you KNOW. Great site.Do you happen to have your own XP CD if needed ? ?Hi Patio, I love the Dune series DVD's a lot more than I love the XP disk we have! Your icon is lovely. I think you may be hinting at a reload oh great gray sand mouse.... hate to go there to the great place in the sky called Reload... that means taking on not only the computer but a cranky partner! Too spicy for me. Thanks for your thought fading rapidly...Now 1/2 arrowFor all those who have read the above... thanks... The problem turned out to be the video card.... now that is INTERESTING hey... all is well, but now it appears that the attached audio is incompatible. Live and learn. 1 arrowGlad to hear you solved it...an add on sound card is always an option.

4290.	Solve : Slow start-ups and all media lags - virus??
Answer» Hi. I am using Windows XP on an Acer computer that is less than a year OLD. I have 512MB RAM and 1.6gig Intel Celeron processor. A little over a month ago I let a friend of mine borrow my computer. That is when I had problems start. Well he says that he didnt do anything but Im not sure. The computer starts up real slow, it is less than a year old and it takes about 10 mins or so to boot up completely. Once it is booted up it takes a while for anything that i choose to do to register and actually start. Any type of media that I play, whether it be a song or video, it lags and kinda seems to skip like a scratched cd, and I dont do a lot of things at once and I have not downloaded any large files or a lot of small files. I check my task manager and it shows 61 processes. I have been recently trying to learn about which programs are most important for me to be RUNNING but its seems to be most of them all are important. I used to have an old expired Norton Antivirus but I got rid of that and put in Spyware Doctor with Antivirus PROTECTION and I update it reglularly. I have FOUND some viruses but I dont know the extemety of them, but when I got rid of them the performance of the computer did not increase. I am currently deployed in Iraq and I dont have any means to take it somewhere to get fixed. Im not computer stupid but I do have a bit of learning to do. If I were to reformat my computer, would that fix the problem and get rid of any virus that I might have? Would I be able to put all the files that I do not want to part with in a flash drive and tansfer them back into the computer after the reformat is complete? Or would I just be PUTTING a virus back in the computer if I do infact have a virus? Or is there any easier steps that you might be able to think about that Im not thinking of? Thank you for your help.1) Update your malware protection...any antivirus or spyware/adware programs you have installed. 2) Boot into Safe Mode. 3) Run full system scans using your malware protection...one program at a time. Let them delete and or quarantine whatever they find. 4) Boot into Windows normally and run your scans again...letting them delete and/or quarantine whatever they find. 5) Download, install and run Hijack This. Post your log here... Someone will get back to you...Thanks...Hi Burntdoughnuts - welcome to the CH forums. This might be of help to you. Be safe, keep safe and hope you return home hale & hearty. Good luckget ccleaner to remove junk files on your computer.. post the log and we'll look into it. look here for a computer tune up guide i made (with others help)

4291.	Solve : Keeps Shutting down on me.?
Answer» Okay, I wasn't sure what to post this in, so I just posted it in other. But, everytime I start up the computer, and click on my username to get to the ACTUAL page with my desktop and everything, it SITS for about three seconds, and then just shuts down on me. Then it restarts its self, and brings me back to the start up page. How do I keep this from happening, and STOP it?No error message? What Operating System and Service Pack (e.g. Windows XP Pro SP2) You can check this by RIGHT clicking My Computer and going to Properties. Also, if you can remember, did you RUN/install/download anything before this happened? How much RAM do you have?open your case and clean it out.. also reboot into safe mode and run your scans

4292.	Solve : Just a quick question!!!?
Answer» In my broadband status window, in the activity section, where it says, Bytes, Compression And Errors, what does it mean if you have errors? Why? Are you experiencing errors? What software are you using? Is there any noticeable problem with your internet connection? It could mean that a packet had to be FRAGMENTED (split up), there was a disconnect or a collision. Look at the documentation or help page of the program you're using if you are curious as to what it is measuring.Its like this: - Sent Recieved Bytes 3,155, 366 35,710, 530 Compression 0% 0% Errors 0 1 Thats what it looks like right now, there are no noticable errors rly, just wondering why they might happen...Errors means that one or more packets didn't REACH their destination. This is not unusual and can happen for any number of reasons. The packet can have been refused on the RECEIVING end for example or can have been lost along the WAY. If you see a lot of errors it can be an indication of a problem, but it doesn't sound like that's the CASE.

4295.	Solve : Dual monitor setup?
Answer» Hello again all, I was wondering if anyone knew of a way for me to mirror my desktop onto another monitor that I have attached to a different graphics card. My main graphics card is my on-board GeForce 6100 (512MB frame buffer) My other graphics card is my PCI GeForce FX5500 (256MB frame buffer) I'm running Windows XP Pro, although I do have open SuSE 10.2 on here as well. AMD Athlon X2 64 5000+ 2GB of DDR2 800(2x 1GB) Let me know if you need to know anything else. ArcIt should be as simple as just hooking up the 2nd monitor. Windows 'should' recognize that there is another one and let you select how you want to use it (mirroring or extending). If not just let us know.I have my on-board enabled in the BIOS, and set as my main display in Windows, and I'm using it as my main display(It's more powerful than my FX5500) However, in the Display -> Settings, it will only let me extend my desktop onto the other card, there isn't an option to mirror it. In the nVidia control panel, it will only let me mirror my desktop to a monitor on the same card. Then you have to ask...do you want an extended desktop or just mirrored? 'Cause by the sounds of it you can do EITHER, depending on how you hook up your monitors...I'd like to have it mirrored. I've got my computer in between two monitors on a table that's in front of my wrap-around couch in my room. I was hoping that I could mirror my desktop so you can see a movie or something, easily on both sides of the couch. I would just PUT both monitors on my FX 5500, but I don't want to use that as my main GPU, seeing as my on-board owns it(sadly) That and I don't have a DVI to VGA adapter anywhere around here, and I'm 7 miles from nowhere, so it's hard to go pick one up. Every little bit helps! ArcClearly, you really don't have a choice. If you want to mirror, you need to connect both monitors to the same card. If you really don't a way to travel 7 miles to get an adapter, buy one online. I bought one from newegg.com. And clearly, if you want to get out of your dilemma of the lower performance of the FX 5500 and still mirror two monitors, a better graphics card is the solution. If you go that route, the card may come with an adapter. I am aiming for a new card(...and a 1100W PSU, 4 more GB of RAM, couple 500GB SATAII HDDS...) But right now I think I have about 34 pennies, and a couple of them are Canadian >.> Eh, thanks for your time anyway.Do you have a piggy bank big enough for all that? I been lookin at one o' these as well... Well, I'm getting a job at Carl's Computer Repair in Newport, for about 25~30 an hour, and the parts(2 320GB drives instead of 500GB drives) are about $845 from Newegg. I should be ABLE to afford all of it pretty quickly, seeing how busy that shop is. Actually, it's really, really busy right now, after the lightning storms around here. I think that only one of the twenty or so computers that had their PSU and/or motherboard burnt last week, wasn't an eMachines. lol, u mean GATEWAY. A one Month bump ? ?

4296.	Solve : Test is double spaced on emails and blog?
Answer» Hello. The problem I am having is my text is double spaced on my emails and in my blog. Example: I put something in, say Publisher, with regular spacing between lines but when I copy and paste in a message or email it will go out douoble-spaced. I'm sure it's the settings in my computer but I don't know where to go to make the change. Can someone out there help me. Thank you very much, LARRY WollerHello, It should read "Text" is double spaced, sorry. LarryBeen doing some experimenting and a paragraph of written sentences appear to be fine, but something like a poem, for instance, is sent double spaced. LarryWhen publishing ONLINE websites, and other things that make their end results in HTML, you often will get an extra line when you press ENTER. Instead of just pressing ENTER, press SHIFT+ENTER . This will prevent the extra line from appearing. Does that work for you? Or was it something else? Hello, THANKS for the input. That works with some of the problem. The problem I'm having mainly is if I copy something like a poem, recipe, etc that I have in Publisher and when I paste in an email or on my blog it comes out double spaced. (example below) When I copy something like this paragraph it posts fine. I think it's in the program in my pc but I just cannot figure out how to change it at this time. Thank you, Larry How it was copied: I’ve tilled the fields and went to war Built cities and bridges and much more, Has my destiny run it’s course Lord, is there any more? How it looked after pasting; I’ve tilled the fields and went to war Built cities and bridges and much more, Has my destiny run it’s course Lord, is there any more? Okay, well, there isnt much of a way to fix that problem while pasting, but you can try this: Click File> Import> (select your text format) Select the document that has your text. This will handle the formatting for you. If that doesn't work, click the first line of text, press BACKSPACE, and then SHIFT+ENTER I’ve tilled the fields and went to war &LT;BACKSPACE> <SHIFT+ENTER>Built cities and bridges and much more, <BACKSPACE> <SHIFT+ENTER>Has my destiny run it’s courseOk thanks for the info, I'll give it a go and let you know how it works. My blog by the way is a chronicle or diary, no "ranting" on my page. (**) Have a good day! LarryIt sounds like thats just how the blog site formats line returns? Shift-enter can make a different 'character' and that site is just interpreting the one USED in your email program as a 'new paragraph'...

4297.	Solve : looking for jpgs?
Answer» I would like to know how do i do a search for all the jpgs on my computer. Do I go to the command prompt and if I do what are the commands I should put in?Assuming your OS is Win XP. Start>Search - All Files and Folders - type .JPG in the All or part of filename dialog BOX then click on Search.Picasa is a good way to find all pictures on your computer and organize them.CBMatt, I've heard Picasa re-organizes all the photos on the hard drive upon being installed, whether you like it or not. Is that true? Can it be restricted from doing that?Yes it does do that...can create havoc as well. I have YET to find a setting to prevent this from happening and have STOPPED recommending it...That sounds pretty scary Patio, are you SURE? I'm not going to try it to find out. LOLWhoa...what? Are you sure about that one? I've had Picasa for awhile now and all of my pictures are where they're supposed to be. I have no knowledge of any pictures on my computer ever being re-organized by it. It re-organizes my pictures WITHIN the software, but my pictures are still in their original locations on the harddrive. Or is this a newer feature?The version i tried was about 3 mos. after release...i haven't gone back to it since. I believe it's up to Ver. 2.1 now. I went back to Irfanview and never looked back.Well, if you don't want to use Picasa... In Command Prompt, type: for /f %A in ('dir "C:\*.jpg" /s /b') do @echo %A But it takes a while to find all images. And only in C: drive. Or you could just use Dusty's solution.
