Dear Users
What is the best speed download for torrents files
ThanksUhh
I'd say as fast as possible...

Maybe you should try rephrasing your question...I don't think, you can help it here. Torrents are slow, and it's the way, they are.
The best speed for files over 1GB is: OVERNIGHT....just kidding.I do hope that was a joke Broni.
The factors that INFLUENCE the download speed of a torrent is, the speed of the connection, the configuration of the bittorrent client and the amount of people seeding the file(s). But to say that torrents are inherently slow is just false.
I've just downloaded the Ubuntu 7.04 DVD (~4gb). That took me about 3 hours... Don't think that's particularly slow.

On a funny note...I really wanted one particular foreign movie, and it took me 7 days to get it (I had only 1, sometimes 2 seeders)...LOL

Are you my neighbor? I live in Daly City...

i plan to build my own computer case soon, as i cannot find one online that meets my requirements. i was planning on building what WOULD appear to be an overgrown desktop case, similar to the style of GX MANS dell, 'cept big enough to fit that dell inside. the dimensions will be no larger than

24 x 22 x 18.5
width depth height
in inches

the motherboard will lay flat in the bottom of the case, i plan to use a coolit thermoelectric CPU cooler, and a standard water cooler for the GPU and chipset. the hard drive(s) will be air cooled, with filters, of course, the PSU will not he filtered, for the simple fact that the fans that are supplied in them do not have enough power to hardly spin, let alone pull air through a filter. i plan to mount a cheap LCD MONITOR into the front panel, no larger than a 17", whatever i can ebay.

so, knowing this little bit of info, does anyone have any suggestions as to what to build it out of? i was thinking half inch square steel tubing, with brushed aluminum panels, even though thats overkill for a frame.


wow, that's an intense case. What's it for?
If I were making my own case, I suppose I would just buy some sheet metal and weld it together to make the box. hmmm. diamond plating might look cool.
Just make sure your motherboard doesn't come in contact with the sheet metal. its for my gaming rig, just replaced the motherboard in it, but i have to get a splitter for the power supply, four pin to eight pin. its to give me room for expansion, and, as theft protection, i doubt someone is going to steal somethin that weighs 100+ lbs. when i upgrade to a C2D 6750 soon, im getting two gigs of ddr2 800 to replace the one gig of ddr2 667 i have, i only have a 7600GT for a GPU at the moment, its does great for me. Oh, i was thinking of painting it a high gloss midnight blue, and putting a half-life LOGO on the window. it'll match the inspiron im getting next month.Sounds like fun. Did you say you were going to mount a LCD panel directly onto the case? If so, the 1/2" steel tubing frame would be a smart idea. And if you weren't using weight as a theft security , i would say 1/2" alum. tubing would be just as durable. Speaking of aluminum, can you TIG weld? Anyways sounds like fun and I actually had the same idea, i'm just lazy. Yeah, i plan to mount an LCD monitor into the front of the case. so it will look like an overgrown oscilloscope or somethin maybe. I'll probably take a trip to the local junkyard and get a used tranny cooler radiator for a GPU and north bridge radiator, just have to flush the tranny fluid out of it, and make sure it doesnt leak. i can get it for next to nothing if i can find one. oh, my temporary computer case untill i get this THING built will be this:


Yes, i actually built that, though its no where near done, i plan to modd a window and a couple vents into it. i still have to do some dressing to the case to make it look nice. i may end up just using that case for my computer case if i can make it suite my needs. theres more than enough room to fit a tranny cooler radiator in there, i could even fit a water pump out of a car in there if i wanted to go overkill on the coolant pump, but i wont. i'll make a jpeg diagram of the coolant system i plan to setup
heres the layout of the case:


i will cut a hole in the motherboard pan and side panel to accommodate the radiator, some mesh will be installed to cover the panel hole. i am also putting a door on the side to allow access to the CD drive from the right panel, so i do not have to remove it and the door that hinges off of it to properly mount a CD drive, and of course, i'll install venting for the hard drive(s) in the panel. if all goes well, this may end up being my computer case, and i will still figure out a way to put an LCD panel in it.

Hi, Is it possible to TRACE from a USB stick if it has been copied to a computor
ThanksSay again, PLEASE...I think that somone may have copied my information from my usb stick, therfore i WONDERED if this could be traced on the stick?In my opinion...no.I'll second that.
If you are keeping sensitive info on a thumb drive it should be password protected at LEAST or encrypted at BEST...

is there any way to talk to a microsoft representative if you have troubles or questions without paying their stupid fees?

i looked around for a while and it kept leading me to a page where i have to pay after 90 days or something, and it wasnt cheap either.They won't talk to you for free... yeah thats unfortunate. i really think they should just like nvidia or intel technical support. they were really helpful when i had issues with my stuff or just had a general question. it would make me think higher of them.Our fee structure here at CH is alot more reasonable...we kinda take pride in that.Maybe M$ should hire us as subcontractors....
EH, it won't happen...Bill is too tight...LOLlolQuote from: deadringer on October 12, 2007, 06:29:53 PM

Hi
I'm TRYING to solve a problem for a local playgroup but it's got me baffled.
Windows XP Pro - Whenever the kids go on the COMPUTER the shortcut icons on the desktop keep copying themselves. It seems that they are moving them SLIGHTLY when clicking on them to start and this is creating a copy. By the end of the day we can have 7 or 8 COPIES of evrything on the desktop. Any ideas would be much appreciated. I've heard about this problem before, but I can't recall what was the solution...
Check here, first: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/duplicatedesktop.htm

Well, theres good news, and bad news on the rebuild of my "new" computer.. Good news is, teh MSI P6N SLI motherboard i ordered isnt dead, and, the CPU is running at 86F. Bad news is.. My old motherboard, Foxconn NF4SLI7AA seems to have taken my nvidia geforce 7600GT KO with it.

To be on the positive sign, theres still plenty of hope for my rig. however, i will need another video card, because, no matter how happy i am about the board finally booting, the nvidia MX4000 64mb PCI video card SIMPLY isnt going to cut it. Oh, on a side NOTE, all i get out of the 7600 is a scrambled video feed from both monitors i have tried it on, both WORK fine with the MX4000, so my guess is that the 7600 got killed with the north bridge of the foxconn board somehow.
Well, so much for being positive, i cannot get my new board to post half of the time, the lil LED indicator that came with the board says that its hanging at booting the CPU, according to the booklet. Oh, and its enabling hyper threading for my pentium D 805 smithfield, hyper threading is a single core CPU emulating a dual core CPU, the pentium D is dual core. I think this is the problem, however i am unsure. Anyone think flashing the bios from v2.1 to v2.3 would help?


EDIT:

forgot to mention, i contacted MSI's TECHNICAL support earlier, they where no help, but at least they tried to help, and responded quickly, i may continue to buy there products if this RMA goes through well enough, because, at least i know i can RELY on them to replace the things they screw up on

My husband just reinstalled XP on his computer after it crashed and now every time he has a window open and scrolls, the window jumps all over the screen. He very seldom has windows maximized so it has become quite a problem.Hmm

I'm not sure if this will solve the issue or not, but LETS try anyways:
Go to Start> Control Panel> (to the left menu, click Display All)> then find Mouse

Click the Wheel tab. Try lowing the number of lines skipped per scroll to 3. If the problem continues (or if its ALREADY set to 3) then it may be a problem with your mouse software. If this is the case, then you should update the driver.
What sort of mouse is this? USB or PS/2 (standard)?
What brand of mouse is it?
Do you KNOW of any special software designed for it? Thanks so much for the help ZYLSTRA. The lines per scroll was already set at 3 so he went online to update the mouse driver. The problem was actually the VIDEO driver which he hadn't updated yet. All is well now and he's a happy camper again!Okay

If the problem occurs again, feel free to start a new topic and we will be glad to help you

Sometimes you need to upload bigger file for your FRIEND to pick it up.
What do you use?
I use http://www.gigasize.com, which allows 300MB upload, 600MB after free REGISTRATION. Files stay there for 90 days.
Just curious...do you KNOW anything better?Well, Live Folders allows 50MB upload per file (1GB of storage total)

Its great for Forum type stuff, and sharing certain files with friends/family/everyone
It has permission groups (public, personal, contacts*)

All that is required of you is a Windows Live ID (Passport, or Hotmail account)
For permission groups, contacts that you allow must have a Live ID as well. Public files (ones that anyone can access) does not require any such account.
* You can select which contacts are allowed
I don't want to be MISUNDERSTOOD. When I said 600MB, this is what I can upload in one SESSION.

My HP desktop computer recently got stolen.

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on what I should do next?
Even when filing a police report, I understand that I will more than likely not be able to retrieve my computer. However, I did have personal information as well as possibly credit information. Is this a case of possible identity theft?

Does anyone have any recommendations on where I could find some information on the next steps I should take (like a website)?

Any help will be appreciated. If your computer was stolen...and has not been recovered...hopefuly you have some idea what personal information was on it.

Having it stolen...yes...now there is a high probability of identity theft.

Here's a good read.Do you know the ip address of your old computer ?? I'm curios Spero-T.. what exactly would knowing the IP the computer used to have accomplish?Correct me if i'm wrong but doesn't the IP change if you plug it into another router?

Also, even if you knew the IP, how would you locate it?
There are programs that can do that but they are very expensive.WAN IPs are ISP and connection based.
If I hook my computer directly up to my modem, it will be assigned my WAN IP. This is the IP other computers need to know in order to communicate with me. (If you got a router the WAN IP is usually assigned to the router.) If I then took my computer to a mate's place and hooked it up to his modem, it would be assigned his WAN IP, not mine.Sorry deerpark... I throught the ip was SPECIFIC to each pc meaning we could trace it, using a war dailer i beleive it is called.Actually, the mac address is the thing that stays the same, and even that can be spoofed.
There's probably some programs on sourceforge.net that can search networks by mac address, but it would take forever on the internet. And if it is behind a firewall, there's even less hope.
I wonder if there are any programs on it that MIGHT give clues for its whereabouts?btw...
The only definition of war dialer I know is to configure a computer with a dialup modem to automatically call a range of telephone numbers listening for another modem. This method was used by hackers in the pre WWW ERA to find systems to "explore".
The closest modern equivalent would probably be wifi wardriving.Aaaa ok fair enough, looked into a bit when i was a kid i just remeber that.... thanks Quote from: Spero-T on October 05, 2007, 09:21:50 AM

I used Fdisk to wipe my hard DRIVE in a toshiba 1715XCDS laptop. I did it before to go back to win98. It won't give me the option to format the disc...after I start it, it goes thu that media failure pxe-e61 codes. And that no operating system is found.....I set it to boot from cd, tried digital dollly, disc medic, UBCD but nothing happens.....all I end up with is a black screen with a stationary flashing cursor in the upper left hand corner....I really need to keep this on life support...anyone have any ideas or anything I can try??
God Bless!

so I copied some INFO from cashed VERSION:

Quote

- I am receiving the following error message when I try to start my son's computer. PXE-E61 Media Test Failure check cable.
Needless to say I checked all cables but to now avail. I went into bios and the computer doesn't recognize the hard drive. I put in a new hard drive but still no good.

- PXE seems to refer to a pc that is trying to boot from the Network...
Can you go into the BIOS and disable Boot from LAN or Network ??

- I disable the lan boot w/no pxe support in the bios and put in a new hard drive 30 gig and it is great now.
I believe the hard drive went bad and it then tried to load an os from a previous network, which caused the PXE error. The true culprit was the bad hard drive.

something is damaged like UMMM................................... ....................................... ........( hang up the phone )

Dear users
how to open this file .ms7 or what software is required for this
ThanksWhere did you GET this file?

Only thing I've REALLY came across for this file type is that you need to create a script file to invoke USING "s7_play". MS7 SEEMS to be some sort of script file... As for how to use them, I've no IDEA.

Hello.
I'm pretty new to this board, and its settings, so I have a question.
When I try to upload something into my post, it says: "Upload folder is full".
I didn't upload anything yet, so how come it's full. Or is it some board limitation?
ThanksI think it could be the upload folder as opposed to your upload folder.
Just a guess mind you.Oh, I see...THANK you Ah, thanks for reminding me, Broni! I had noticed this the other day and I've been meaning to bring it to the admin's attention, but it completely slipped my mind. There's only so much space allocated for uploads, so every once in awhile, a bit of maintenance is required. This may have already been taken care of, as I've SEEN a few new ATTACHMENTS, but I can't say for sure. Try uploading your file again and if you still get the error, we'll contact the admin so he can REMOVE some old files and clear up a bit of space.Quote

Hiya
I seen the NEW my SIMS GAME and it LOOKS good but i don't know which console to get it on the nintendo Wii or the DS. Which one do you think is better and why?
EmilieMy brother has SIMS for the DS. He wanted it so badly because the ads said it was very good and everything but when we got it, we were both disappointed because we didn't find it as FUN as it said it would be.

That's just us, you might think differently of it. Personally, I think the Wii would be more fun.If you like to play games while you are on the move, then Nintendo DS is the way to go.

Requirements: Windows XP/2003 Server/Vista

I'll be testing it on the testbench machine later and see if it will run on a few other platforms as it says XP/Vista...

hello,
I want to give a paper presentation on a latest technology in computer science(preferabely not related to HARD ware).
can any body please SUGGEST me a topic. ARTIFICIAL Intelligence.Or Speech RecognitionAdvancements in the speed of technology

One new thing that hasnt COME out:
Holographic disks

Check out www.wikipedia.org and search:
computers

see what you GET

ok first of all ill tell u the specs

2.66ghz DUAL core 2 duo intel E6750
p35 ds3l gigabyte mobo
7200gs gigabyte geforce 256mb graphics card
2 gigs of ddr2 corsair ram
320gig western digital harddrive
asus lightscribe dvd cd writer

ok i installed EVERYTHING and it was working a treat then I left it downloading while i was at school when i came back I found that my cpu fan was not spinning, from that point i paniced and turned of my pc

but after turning the pc back on the fan turned on then went off then i went into a game and it went back on so is this some normal power saving thing ?

also when i got the guy from the pc shop to install the processor [i didnt trust myself]
he didnt apply coolent paste [is that safe he didnt look profeshinal]

and 1 last thing I went to put in a ps2 keyboard and when it was in my mouse stoped moving and my mouse is usb then i reset the pc and then it was like my pc reset. The icons on the desktop were gone, it had the ORIGINAL background, and my intenet setting were all defult??? any help

thanks if you read this and sorry about the bad english and spelling Arctic Silver's Site has excellent instructions on applying Thermal Compound...

Running without it will fry your CPU and POSSIBLY damage other components as well.

You should also never plug in or remove a PS2 device while the machine is on...hopefully after a few COLD boots with the device unplugged it will recover. Then power down hook it up and power up again.

As to the repair guy i would find someone else in your area...he doesn't need to risk damaging any more equipment.

Hey everyone, I'd like to KNOW how you create a full-system log with notepad. I have been experiencing troubles with windows messenger and some of my programs...and need to POST a full system log here. (i've never made one before)You mean this event log? eventvwr.exe (type it into START -> Run)
You can EXPORT logs to TEXT files from the event viewerOhhhh okay THANKS!!!! you're very welcome.
You can also access the event log and other system info by right clicking on My Computer and clicking Manage.Sweet!!!!
thanks again

so did you GET the MOBO and did it WORK?

Hey guys,
Just wondering, is there a way to plug my USB Devices into my router, such as my measly 256mb memory stick or my H320 (20 Gig music player) or even my iPod? Ive been Googling USB to Rj45 but all I get is RJ45 to USB converters. Wrong way round. Router is a Netgear DG834G with 3 spare RJ45 PORTS.
Thanks Guys

Chris


Oh by the way I just looked and a few of you might remember a while back i posted about my Micros SD Card with some weird folders and FILES on it. Anyway its all fixed now, and I was sure I posted a reply to let you all know that it was sorted, but I just checked and it turns out I didn't, so sorry for that.
But basically i use it as my memory stick to transport all my work to and from school. One day I was doing my COURSEWORK and my mate unplugged my PC, so when I rebooted it, it did that Scandisk (you know the one with the blue background and white text when you don't shut down your PC properly.) Anyway when doing that it deleted the folders for me saying they were invalid or something.
Anyway I've ATTACHED the log for you so you can see for yourself and maybe it will help someone else who has a similar problem.
EDIT: Ill attach it later as I don't have my USB thing for my phone.Quote from: chriscool9 on October 24, 2007, 06:54:04 AM

Hello!

For a few days my monitor's display is covered with magenta hue. Sometimes it goes after awhile, sometimes it stays all the time driving me crazy. Does anybody know what's going on?
(I'm using Windows XP Home Edition).
Thank you.It's probably a problem with your monitor.
What kind of monitor do you have? How old is it?
Check the color settings on the monitor and also try resetting it from the menu.
If the settings look FINE, and if you have an older monitor, it may just be time to buy a new one.
If its new and under warranty, take it back.
I don't know if this will help or not, but I once got a yellowish hue on my monitor, turned out that it was a problem with the monitor cable. It was kinked, I straightened it out and it was fine. Quote from: DarkMSTie on October 18, 2007, 12:51:11 PM

yes, definitely get a new monitor. www.newegg.com has excellent deals. I got a 17" LCD for $100 last year.

This may be stupid but i shall ask and HOPE for the BEST. I have a dell inspiron 8200, and whilst trying to free up some space on my HARD drive, i think i DELETED the programme that increases the touchpad speed. Now when i run my finger over the touchpad, the cursor on the screen only moves a small distance. So how can i increase the speed again. ThankyouSystem Restore?Try re-installing the touchpad drivers...they should be on your MBoard driver CD.

I haven't tried it with Firefox...

I'll give it a go, now...Just tried FF...and the image that is missing doesn't show up at all. So, with FF...either the image is there...or it's not.

With IE7...the image is there...or you'll see the red "x" denoting a missing image.

Update...

I made mention that it may be a PROBLEM with the index.template.php file associated with the Theme, but I think I may be mistaken.

Maybe all that has to be done is the uploading of the correct gif image to the images directory of that theme...or to rename the missing gif file from .gif to xx.gif.I'm aware of the issue, have briefely looked in the code where the issue is happening but was unable to figure it out. It's STRANGE because most of the time it works, but sometimes it doesn't?

I FOUND this site that checks your computer to SEE if it can play certain computer games.

What you do is click on the game you want and then the site will analyse your computer's SPECS and TELL you if you PASS or FAIL the SYSTEM requirements.

http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/referrer/srtestVery cool!

I didn't check the higher end games, because I know I'm in trouble, there.

I'm just curious how things have CHANGED over past years... I have cable right now. Gonna be upgrading to fibre when it's available here. Should be before the years end. =]I'm stuck in the T1/T3 category for now because my only internet connection is at work.
Hopefully SOON, I'll be able to upgrade and get DSL or cable at home. "Stuck" with T1/T3 ? ? ?

I wrote this up after solving this issue on my home network. It's good to know about because my ISP (COX) is not the only ISP doing this now, and OTHERS will soon follow suit once they learn how much money they can make from it. The write up is below:
*****************************************

As you know, you can search DIRECTLY from the address bar in modern Web browsers. This functionality is built into the browser and is configurable via menus, preferences (options) or toolbar buttons. Some browsers let you select your search engine of choice to use for adress bar searching.

Many ISPs are now attempting to rake in a few extra dollars by using DNS redirects to "hijack" your address bar searches and feed the browser a dynamically created results page filled with sponsored advertisements that "match" what you are searching for.

What is DNS?

DNS = Domain Name Server. Think of this as the white-yellow pages for the Internet. All ISPs have their own DNS. When you type a Web site name (www.yahoo.com) into the browser address bar, the browser sends this info out to the Internet. This name is converted to an ip address that matches the name. The list of "who is who" is stored in the ISP's DNS and when the match for the name is found the request for the Web document is sent out onto the Internet to the correct address (numerical ip address).

If you have a home network with a router, or if you connect directly to the modem, the DNS addresses your network (and Web browser) will use are setup AUTOMATICALLY by the router or by Windows operating system. These addresses to be used are sent by the ISP via the cable/dsl modem.

Typing a name or word(s) without the .COM, .NET, ,ORG at the end will automatically invoke the browser's built in search function which is supposed to then display a page of results using your preferred search engine.

ISPs know how this works, and some are now configuring their DNS to handle names and word(s) without the .COM, .NET, .ORG, etc. in a special manner. They are calling these types of queries "FAILED DNS QUERIES".

That is entirely marketing hype. A failed query is a legit term used in comp networking, but these ISPs are applying the term for marketing purposes.

COX Internet is "testing" the use of DNS redirects and this breaks the browser's ABILITY to search from the address bar. Thery are currently testing in the following zones:

Arizona, Gulf Coast, Hampton Roads, Kansas, Las Vegas, Macon, New Orleans, Northern Virginia, Orange County, Oklahoma City, Omaha, Palos Verdes, Roanoke, Sun Valley, and Tulsa area

Fortunately, they are giving subscribers the opportunity to OPT-OUT and they provide instructions for changing the DNS used by your network and computers:
http://support.cox.com/sdccommon/asp...9-8d2e18ceb58d

Note:
If you have a network with a router and ALL computers on the network have static ip addresses, then all you need to do is change the DNS in the router. If your computers use DHCP then you need to manually SET the DNS for each computer on the network.

Note2:
You DO NOT even have to use your ISP's DNS. You can use DNS from other ISPs or other DNS providers. Your ISPs DNS is usually the most reliable though.

Since the forum change back in March the FAQ section has been in LIMBO while I try to COME up with a better solution. I've received a few PM's from users who've wanted to submit a new FAQ; however, because of the lock down to prevent users from asking questions in the section it's made it impossible.

To help create a solution of some TYPE I've created a new board under the FAQ section entitled: "Post new FAQ", which is open to all users to create new FAQ's or talk about them. Once created the MODERATORS or I can then move the FAQ into the appropriate category.

I hope this will help resolve some of the issues and maybe spur some additional content for the FAQ's. In addition because the Wiki Forum template didn't work as I was hoping I've re-added the description of each of the forum categories to describe what they contain.


I think this is a great idea, but I think we can abandon the Wiki template, since it doesn't seem to be a great solution, and I think it will take to long to perfectly implement.

HI.Does anyone know how to save webpages when you are not online as mhtml or something like that?Or VIEW the html of a webpage and save that html as mhtml when you are not online?Do you want to save WEB page, and read it, while you off-line?I want to be ABLE to view any webpage offline or any way and be able to save it as mhtml.If there is no way to do that then I would just like to have a way to view any webpage offline then.In IE, click on Page (next to Tools)>Save As, and you'll have 3 options:
- HTML
- mht
- txt

In Firefox, right click anywhere on page, click "Save Page As", and you have 2 options:
- HTML
- txtis there a way though to type a page you want to save as mhtml because I can't view every webpage offline.So I can't save the ones I want to when I can't get on the internet.So there MUST be a way to do what I am talking about.Quote

is there a way though to type a page

...or just get an LCD Screen at www.newegg.com.

I NEE A TUTORIAL ON HOW TO TRANSFER PHOTOS TO A WEBSITEWhat website? Please be more clear about your needs. Also, how are you going to upload these photos?
FTP? CGI/Web Interface? RDS? Direct HTTP? Some other way? I WANT TO TRANSFER PHOTOS FROM PICASA OR HP IMAGE TO EBAY AND SEVERAL HOME FOR SALE SITES. THANKSI've gone through the process of listing an item for sale on ebay and uploading an image of the item. As I recall, ebay provides fairly explicit instructions on how to do that. Or, go to ebay.com, click on Community at top of the page, and post a question in Discussion Boards or the Answer Center. I TRIED THE EBAY ROUTE, NO LUCK, I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO LOAD THE PHOTOS TO A FOR SALE BY OWNER WEBSITE. I CAN EMAIL PHOTOS BUT IT DON'T KNOW HOW TO MOVE THEM TO A WEBSITE.First of all, please turn of your caps lock. Writing in all capital letters on a forum is the text equivalent of SHOUTING.

Second of all, as Soybean also MENTIONS, Ebay got a pretty extensive guide on adding pictures to a sale.
http://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/photo_tutorial3.html
Give the link above a read and if you run into problems don't hesitate to ask. But please explain in details where in the process you get stuck.

If you need help with any other sites we will probably need to know which ones, since there is no generic way of adding pictures to a site.Im confused Have you try GETTING to the web first Like Image shack ? Sorry about the caps. I am new to this. I am trying to get 1 photo to fsbon.com and with no success. Can you help? thank youOkay I can't guide you through the process since I cant create a listing without paying.
But from what I've been able to read on their site, you should be able to upload a picture from your hard drive to the site. Is the picture you want to use CURRENTLY on your hard drive?

But maybe the best THING to do is to contact FSBON... I assume you've paid for the listing so you should be entitled a little help.

I am having a problem downloading games from the internet. I have tried "regedit" and removing all of the corrupted game file and I still get the error message " this is not a win32 file.

Anyone have a suggestion?What games are you downloading, to be specific?
And where from?Regedit to remove corrupted files ? ?

This should be interesting...Quote

Hello,
I'm trying to html code for a LADY who's nephew was killed in Iraq last week. There was a memorial video done in his behalf and she sent if via email to see if I could upload it to Photobucket or YouTube so she could put in on the internet. When I tried I got the following error;

"The file "TIM Tribute Final - MP3.wav" does not have a valid video extension.
Valid video extensions are: 3g2, 3gp, 3gp2, 3gpp, 3P, asf, avi, divx, divx, dv, dvx, flv, gif, moov, mov, mp4, mpeg4, mpg4, mpe, mpeg, mpg, qt, SWF, wmv, xvid, rm"

I was wondering if there was a way I could change the extension myself so I could upload it. If not I will tell her I can't do it. Would appreciate any input or ASSISTANCE. I have Windows XP in my pc.
Thank you,
Larry Woller
Ogden, Il 61859".wav" extension indicates audio file.
Try to play it in Windows Media player, or free Irfanview: http://www.irfanview.com/Thanks for the feedback. I can play it ok on my Windows Media player what I'm trying to do is upload it to a website so I can copy a HTML and paste it in a blogsite. Is there a place where I can do this with a audio?
Thanks

Do you want to remove silence at the beginning/end of the songs you're joining?
Or are you looking for a program to fade/mix songs into each other?Quote from: lendok2 on October 20, 2007, 10:24:10 AM

Windows x-p is a brilliant os , however .... the speed all depends on the upgrades you make prior to installing x-p ..... for example ...... if i had 1 gb of ram ..... and my buddy had 2gbs he will be able to handle a few more applactions than me without the hanging , its the same with the cpu , if i was to get a dual core and my buddy got a p4 , a dual core would smoke the p4 just by its shear power ..... so yeah like contrex said it all depends on upgrades and not only that how you treat your computer , registry scans , virus scans , etc keeping it nice and clean will also improve your speed.........

Oh right. That's like saying, "My mother isn't a lush, she just gets sh*tfaced every now and then".

Rofl, i almost fell of the couch laughing. on the note of the good doctor, he also dumps the cached crap in the RAM which eats up 40mb or more of RAM while dumping some odd amount of it, i recommend killing him. Google on how to kill him, i dont have the time to explain at the moment.

I have an unusual request. I'm looking for a font to replace "Times New Boring" as my regular font for writing essays and just about anything non-programming. I have several criteria, though, that have made it difficult. I was hoping I COULD get some recommendations for a new font type.

The criteria:

1. The font ought to correspond roughly in size to Times (i.e. 12-point YourFontHere should be about the same size as 12-point Times, though it does not NEED to be perfect)

2. It should be as easy to read as Times New Roman is (so Old English is out ), and should be soft on the eyes (not Courier)

3. It needs to either come with Windows or be free to obtain; I'm on a $0 budget as usual.

4. It should look different from Times, as the whole reason for doing this is because Times is boring to look at after 6-7 years.

Thanks in advance, guys. Any IDEAS help.I'm trying the Century SCHOOLBOOK font now, with great success. Still, any other ideas are WELCOME.

when I get connected to the (explorer ) internet it keeps CUTTING off EVERY 5 to 8 minutes and everytime in the middle of something , . I have dial up connection. and I have checked the phone line and it seems to be working fine., there are no cut offs when using the phone.which means the line is fine. I do not know whether is the computer or the connection? I am using a loptop windows XP. I used to have the same problem with a desktop computer but it would take longer to cut off. like 30 or 40 minutes. any idea and it is not the user NAME or password as the tech . support is trying to tell me it is. or the connections. connections are fine.

HI.is there a WAY when you are selecting a DESTINATION for something to go,to be INSTEAD sent over to a email ADDRESS?Like what KIND of destination?

I downloaded Nero 7 trial version and when i clicked on the file to install it , it WOULD not launch the exe file,rather it was asking me with which program i would like to use to open the file,this has never happened b4 with my pc cos normally this Nero exe file would just start installing after i clicked on it.
I then right clicked on the file to see if i could find out what's wrong with it and i came to see that the file format was not indicating that it is exe file, rather the format was only showing just "FILE" which is strange to me.
i thought this was problem with Nero 7 ,but to be SURE i downloaded another exe file and the same problem occurred, i have download about three exe file programs and yet i cant install any of them .I have tried to download a video clip to see if the problem is associated wit only exe files and the video played quite ok,so it seem this is exe file problem only.
few days b4 i noticed this problem, i had downloaded and used tweakxp , i strongly suspect this is what had messed up my pc , so i have uninstalled , but the problem still remains.
i would appreciate if there is solution to my problem.

thanks . Have you tried a System Restore to a previous date before all of this started happening?I did restore the pc to the day b4 i installed tweakxp and it didnt solve the problem , thanks for trying to help though , anyone else with some solution ? Is it a ZIP file? often with ZIP files you will need a program such as WinZip, to open them, sorta like a PDF needs adobe acrobat reader Quote from: j-rock1022 on September 28, 2007, 09:38:05 AM

Have you tried renaming the file to include the .exe extension?
This sounds like something you have done in tweakxp and you may have to re-install tweakxp to undo it.
Also try downloading the file to your temp directory instead of your desktop.

Thanks to Lockergnome

When you log on with a normal administrator account in Vista, for example, the one you create during setup, you subject to UAC. This is because you are not logged on with the true Administrator account. This account has been hidden in Vista to prevent USERS from using it as their PRIMARY log on.

If you were to log on with this account, you could make any changes without seeing the UAC prompt.

You can unhide or turn on the Administrator account using the STEPS below:

1. Type CMD in the Search field on the Start menu.
2. Right click the command prompt icon at the top of the Start menu and click Run as administrator.
3. Type 'Net user administrator /active:yes'.

Once you complete these steps, the Administrator account will appear on the Welcome screen. To disable once again HIDE the account, repeat steps 1/2 described above and type 'Net user administrator /active:no'.This will also work on Windows XP Home Edition.
I have tested this.

Awe Thankyouuu!!

Hello
Many people know torrent SERVICES and most of them have information about trackers.
As you know, trackers are a SITE. Hence, they require domain, host, server and internet connection. To get these (domain, host …), the trackers NEED money. But, how they earn money?

(In the website of the trackers you can see some ADVERTISEMENTS, but they are not enough for a tracker with such internet TRAFFIC)

Thanks

having a problem with a email address. im running win xp, and emails are THRUGH msn. everytime i get a email from this 1 person and i go to reply it has the wrong email address in the to: space. any one know how i can fix this.
thanks
maryThis may not be an issue on your side. You may want to CHECK with the person that you are replying to to make sure they don't have the reply to address in their email account set to something else. Also, ASK them if anyone else is having the same issue as you are when you reply to them. If others are having this same issue, then it is the person you are replying to that needs to change their account setting.

For example, I know someone who has four different email addresses and uses one OUTLOOK profile to view all messages in one area. When he replies to a message from any of his four email addresses, he has the reply to set as only one email address which is different from the address he was replying from.

Hope this made sense.
