Hot chocolate, bacon sandwich, hash brown, and a slice of cake (probably Walnut) to finish off.

Helloo... My name is Yinka. And i'm not very big on programming(had a horrible experience with FORTRAN) in my first year of uni. Just generally into understanding how these things(computers) work, if not for anything, just so that i know how to fix em when things go wrong... Cos u …

The only US State that doesn't contain any of the letters of the word 'Mackerel' is Ohio. A sparrow is the only bird that stutters.

The journey of life is about who gets there, not about who gets there the fastest, so drive slowly.

I am currently looking for a job and I have to say, it has not been an easy ride. Companies are demanding more and more specialist skills, but seem unwilling to train. I also wonder if there is much of an opportunity to move through the ranks at one company …

Hi, The extent of the damage to the photos is not clear from your post, but try the following links and hopefully one of them will restore your photos [URL="http://www.pcinspector.de/Sites/smart_recovery/info.htm?language=1"]PC Inspector[/URL] from Convar - change the language to Englishif it's not already.

You should repost your thread in this [URL="http://www.daniweb.com/forums/forum64.html"]forum[/URL] to get the best help. If you have a virus, you will most likely be asked to download Malwarebytes and run a full system scan. But as I said repost in the right forum so that the right people can help you …

Hello all, Decided to post in here as thought it would be safer, and wasn't sure if I'd be violating any rules on any other threads. Basically I'm looking for a Family Fortunes-type game that I can edit (questions and answers) and use - and I need it for a …

Hey drex I found this [URL="http://brebru.com/beepcodes.html"]website[/URL], I also have a dead machine (actually more than one) that I'm trying to fix, but I also am more wary of laptops. And whilst on the subject of diagnosis, does anyone know of any motherboard diagnostic cards that they would happily recommend? Or …

Hi there, i get the following error message every time i open and close Microsoft Word and Excel For Microsoft Word: Microsoft Visual Basic Compile Error in hidden module: Auto Exec and for Excel: Microsoft Visual Basic Compile error in hidden module: AutoExecNew (when i open it) Compile error in …

Hi there, I'm hoping one of you more experienced guys can help. I'm helping a guy at work, lent his laptop to someone, and it came back exhibiting the above symptoms, that is Internet Explorer opening and trying to access some "moe spirit" or something website. Anyway we knew something …

I have two old laptops that I would like to get rid of now, as I have no more use for them. They're both Compaq Laptops, one is an Armada, the other is an Evo. They are pretty low spec, I'm talking Celeron processor and 56 MB RAM and Pentium …

Hey thomas Have you tried copying from your removable drive to your desktop and installing from there? If that doesn't work, how about superantispyware? If the malware is preventing those as well, a system repair might be the last option.

Mate, I had exactly the same symptoms you've got, turned out to be Conficker. I got rid of it with a combination of the [URL="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=ad724ae0-e72d-4f54-9ab3-75b8eb148356&displaylang=en"]Windows Malicious Software Removal tool[/URL] ( transferred through USB from an uninfected computer), and a [URL="http://www.mcafee.com/us/threat_center/conficker.html"]McAfee Stinger tool[/URL].

I take it by 'deleted' you mean "deleted permanently from the Recycle Bin". The answer is 'Yes', and you need the right software. [URL="http://www.diskdoctors.net/deleted-documents-file-recovery-software.html"]Disk Doctors[/URL] is one I found by searching on Google, but there are quite a few decent ones out there I believe, and free too (even if …

Yea, just took this test, and it's like all the other "personality tests" i've seen. It takes a "type" of person, and then tries to make specific deductions about areas in a person's life, but is still on the whole very vague, and general, and describes scenarios that are common …

Hahaha, very funny indeed. My favourite one is the YouTube upside down vide & page layout. Even the text is backwards. I literally thought I had messed up my browser setting somewhat!!

Hi All, Usually able to deal with PC monsters but this one has me all but beat. It's a Dell Inspiron 1525 for a colleague with 32bit Vista on it, SP1 only (SP2 wouldn't install but after a lot of online searching and trying various fixes, I decided it's the …

Hey there, have you checked the Microsoft website, or maybe given them a call? I can't think of any other way to get your bootmgr, oh, or Dell. Sorry can't be of much help.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't this to do with a setting when you formatted the HD? I mean did you use a utility such as you get with an OS Disk?

I may be late, but a work colleague showed me it this morning and I thought I should share with the people on here. Do watch the video at the top of the page if you can, and look at the progress one year after (at the bottom) as well. …

Sounds like your mobo just can't handle the xtra RAM my friend. Have u checked the version online for any updates, or indeed restrictions? To fully eliminiate RAM, can u send it back and get replacement ones from whoever u got it from, saying u think it's faulty?

Unbelievable! I didn't know IBM had that much money to spend!! :-p

Good point mushy-pea. I tried to get travel information yesterday morning, and for the first time in a very long time, the internet seemed to have broken. I couldn't get any "live updates" or "current service news", and in the end had to resort to analogue tv to help me …

Nyeah, at least it was just Google that broke and not the entire internet. Or are the two synonymous?? Now THAT would be something to worry about!!

That is indeed very sad, not only that people are taking matters into their hands to a great extent under the "cover" of the 'internet', but also that there aren't laws in place to remind people that just because they are behind a computer screen, doesn't mean they are behind …

I agree with you sir. You wouldn't leave your car keys on a table at the pub with your registration number stuck onto it.

I've worked with someone whose password was "london". Unsurprisingly, this was at a company in the City of, you guessed it, London.

Indeed, I think it is the sad but inevitable result of advancement in technology that sees these print magazines coming to the end of their lives. I confess that only last week, I was saying to my friend how wonderful it would be for me to be able to read …

It's a very very... maaad world...

Haha, that is ridiculous! That's got to be the downside of having a "politico-geek" President hasn't it, the desire to police people and their online activity can be construed as a different spin on promoting a Nanny-state society... dangerous waters I tell thee.

A pretty good list, definitely something to think about (as someone who, like jeffritter aptly put it "only sits with their legs in the water"). And I agree with you on most of the points. You're spot on, when Apple realised it was about marketing, a new "MacWorld" was born. …

Int he UK, (and probably the US, I'm not sure about other countries) I don't think these schemes will be able to take off though, at least not quite yet. Simply because both governments have gone on unprecedented shopping sprees which included the purchase of a colossal number of shares …

Very true sir, although it seems as if Virgin Media were just blowing hot air to see how many people they could make uncomfortable. And as wise as your suggestions are, I have a feeling that in this competitive, capitalist, economy, the standard will only go as far as laying …

Hehehe... a good read, (amidst some pretty big claims), but I definitely see where you're coming from. I also believe that cloud computing along with out-sourcing for non-IT-focused companies is "where the future's at". But I guess as with such declarations by figures in the industry whose word should be …

I don't know if there's an obvious answer to this but, is this new Macbook going to be available in the UK at any point? And more importantly how long will we have to wait? I for one know I could do with a £500-£600 Mac, (the cheapest out here …

Less griping about speeds in shared accomodation, faster (and therefore more effective) video streaming, better remote connections... bring on the Giga-band!!!

I was privileged to attend the 5th [URL="http://www.kaspersky.com/"]Kaspersky[/URL] Lab forum, held in the city of London, yesterday. It was actually a Cybercrime Forum (I have no idea if the other forums were as well, as this was my first), and so the main focus was – yeah, you guessed it …

Lol... good to know that somethings in this world aren't getting better...

Haha, that's just funny. Guess there are still some organisations that look after the interest of mere mortals after all.

That's all well and good, but I think it solves a problem that didn't exist. What about one that DOES exist, I mean the bottleneck experienced with RAM modules not being able to take advantage of Dual and Quad Core speeds and capabilities on processors? It would be nice to …

Lol at last sentence. Indeed the Wii is turning out to be as epic to this generation as Nintendo and SNES Consoles were. Well done to Nintendo for coming back successfully after the GameCube

I first heard about the Mojave Experiment indirectly through Daniweb, whilst reading a [URL="http://www.daniweb.com/blogs/entry2870.html"]blog[/URL] post about something different. I also decided to [URL="http://www.mojaveexperiment.com/#"]check it out[/URL] whilst reading through a [URL="http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread136855.html"]thread[/URL] on here. And I'm glad I did, if only so I could get to share my opinion on it. After …

Well I remember the issue with the Mazda MR2. The car was apparently never popular in France because of what it sounds like when you say the name of the car in French - 'Mazda Em Erl Deux'... GCSE Level French or French friends required to understand the pun.

I typed in my employers (company) name and in Cuil it comes up on the second page, but in Google on the first. I typed in my name, and Cuil couldn't find anything, but Google gives me three pages (although only the first page has links relevant to myself. Lastly …

It's almost like a 'Rachel and Ross from Friends' thing - will they, won't they, will they, won't they, and then they finally do, but the only one that gets screwed is the consumer ;)

Completely understandable, even though I stubbornly resist the marketing pulls of the iPod, there was no resisting that of the iPhone. I want it so bad, I sometimes feel like it is what has been missing in my life all this while :P

Wow, so another two technology giants are getting married, who would've thought it(?) I mean why don't they just ALL merge, and that way we know we don't really have much choice. Oh no actually, that's just crazy talk 8-).

Interesting. So would this work in the same way you can have more than one user account on a computer? And you have to select the account at Startup? In which case, wouldn't that take up more resources, and be more expensive?
