"To be honest though, this one seems to have a much greater potential to be one that gets filed under bad ideas quickly forgotten, right next to Microsoft Bob in fact..." Really? Or could this in fact be, a premonition of things to come, of a world where we (as …

My condolences to Prince Charles, and shame on Moorepay for putting the Prince in such a risky situation. However, 193 countries in the world and "Nigeria"was the first that came to mind in connection with fraud? Uncool.

Bud, look at this [URL="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307545"]Microsoft Knowledge Base Article[/URL], looks like it could be useful to you. It basically suggests some system file and registry editing to sort out the problem so do be careful, read through it thoroughly, and ask for help in anything ur not sure about.

Check this site [URL="http://tinyempire.com/notes/ntldrismissing.htm"]http://tinyempire.com/notes/ntldrismissing.htm[/URL] I think it's got what you need to fix your problem. Do let us know back here if it works.

Hi there, hope someone can help, I was just wondering WHERE it is possible to get such an adapter (i think they are VGA adapters) as I have mentioned above, one that will at least connect ur monitor to your PS2 so that you can use it as TV. I …

Hey DW peeps, Got the audio/video stuttering thing on my XP computer that started randomly - after I installed Debian 5 (though onto a diff HD to what XP is installed on) ;) Didn't think my dual booting should have anything to do with it and so I've posted here. …

Well it's either this, or the domain name has been removed from the routing table. Or my Firefox is just being very biased about my browsing experience!:) Go on, [URL="http://www.microsoft.com/"]try it out now[/URL] (note depending on when you're reading this, it might have come back up and so it'll just …

Is it me or is it easier to configure a home network in XP than to setup a wireless adapter in Debian??? I've read through various online resources about iwconfig, ifconfig, linux_wan, orinoco but I still don't get it. And more importantly I couldn't get it to work! Is Ubuntu …

[QUOTE=VernonDozier;837249]Cool problem. You can do it in two weighings. Edit - I explained how, but after thinking about it, I took down the explanation in case other people want to puzzle over it themselves. As a generalization, if you have n balls and one of them is heavy, how many …

[URL="http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/organgrinder/2009/apr/01/newspapers-dailymail"]Here[/URL]'s a round-up of some (not all i believe) of the AFD 09 gags. Whaddya think, which one was your favourite, and share ones that aren't in the blog (our cousins across the Atlantic?).

Mate, I ain't no expert but here: Please download [URL="http://www.majorgeeks.com/Malwarebytes_Anti-Malware_d5756.html"]Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (MBA-M)[/URL] to your Desktop. Rename it to something random, like [I]doit[/I].exe. This is because some malware will prevent you from installing anti-spyware software using the software name. * DoubleClick mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install MBA-M. * Be …

Hahahaha this made me chuckle so I thought i'd share. I went on YT today, just to test flash functionality with a new browser and OS, and I clicked on a random vid of the IT Crowd. And then got a screen with most of it upside down. Wasn't quite …

Hey bud, This is what Microsoft's website says: * Use either the graphical user interface (GUI) or the shutdown command again. * Press CTRL+ALT+DELETE, and then while pressing CTRL, click Shut Down to force a shutdown. * Press the reset or power button on the computer. Not terribly helpful I …

[QUOTE=Warpig;830406]I just entered bios and had HardDisk as first boot and then CDROM and I disabled other boot devices, and this seemed to work. Just odd it happened all of the sudden.[/QUOTE] That's what I thought would be the problem. And as an aside, you might want to have your …

Hi guys I've got a good one. Colleague brought problem to me, as subject says it's an ACER Aspire 9303 ([URL="http://global.acer.com/products/notebook/as9300.htm"]specs here[/URL]). The user turned it on (hadn't used it since before christmas) and apparently found out that sound not working. I'm led to believe it worked at some point …

Why do you ask anyway? I think GJ might know though...

Uh oooh, someone's going to have to go sit on the naughty step...

This looks like an old one (so some of you might have seen it before), but I've only just seen it and think it's mildly amusing. Read [URL="http://www.jokes.com/funny/technology/how-operating-systems-are-like-knights"]here[/URL].

Hallo, Look [URL="http://www.goodgearguide.com.au/index.php/pid;4511;taxid;2136213112;pt;8"]here[/URL] or [URL="http://news.softpedia.com/news/HTC-TyTN-II-P4550-Kaiser-Review-69081.shtml"]here[/URL] for more information about the phone. Mpeg & Mpeg-4 (mp4 format) is the standard. So you would want to rip your DVD into that format. Unfortunately I can't advise on what ripping or converter software to use as I haven't tried to do it yet …

1. Could be codec problem. To check, in iTunes try ripping to .acc format. 2. Or could be a copy protection issue, which means that the CD has been encrypted so that drives can't copy from it. You can easily test this by seeing if you have the problem with …

How about pulling the power out of the BIOS? That would remove the admin BIOS password and let him carry out the repair, and possibly utilise the backdoor information posted earlier? I know it's not easy, but it's gotta be an option right?

Note that it could also be that your screen's gone. Try to test your laptop with a separate monitor.

Good - 21st Century/Vista/OS X compliant look, design, feel with the menu bars. Good work Bad - Someone's already pointed out the lack of rounded edges on the left part of the sidebars - The grey bar with all the different sections, looks [I]slightly[/I] odd IMHO with just the face …

With my last HD problem, using a good disk recovery tool helped. You might also want to check the jumper cables to ensure that they are fitted properly and correctly configured. The fact that you can't even see it in the BIOS anymore is indicative of either a physical (cabling) …

Might be a good idea to back up your files and folders before installing SP3 to be on the safe side. And to run it, isn't one of the extracted files an exe that you need to run? If in doubt, directions [URL="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=5B33B5A8-5E76-401F-BE08-1E1555D4F3D4&displaylang=en"]here[/URL]

Hey jb was that link good? I'm guessing you don't have any Windows fans who don't throw stuff away, and would have it on CD or sommink? And just out of curiousity, what's a 21st century man like yourself want with IE5? :-p

Hello all, I've been using Firefox for over a year now I think, ages anyway, and ever since I've never really been able to view motion-media on it (i.e. videos on YouTube, adverts and banners, websites with a flash intro, etc). So if I go to YT for instance, I …

I don't know if you saw the reply below before Tim but I suggest you follow the advice and then post back here if there are any further issues. Goodluck [QUOTE=Suspishio;767123]Well, you are infected. To help you though, it's brastk.exe and you'll need to focus all your effeorts on getting …

Hey people, This is for Windows Admins and such like, and I guess to some degree Windows users. I am basically trying to find out people's thoughts and predictions - When will Windows Server 2003 and related technologies become "outdated"? When will there be a greater proportion of 2007 servers …

One of my former lectures used to joke that the reason DB Admins get paid more than anyone else is because the work is [B]so[/B] boring and tedious (compared to software engineering or development for example) that there aren't a lot of people willing to do it, let alone make …

With hot chocolate (3 to 4 times the amount of coffee) :-p

I agree with Suspishio, and indeed what everyone else has said. If all forms of repair haven't worked, a re-install is the next step, but then this is not guaranteed to fix the problem if your PST is corrupt. If it is a POP3 account that you're trying to access …

Welcome to DaniWeb, and I hope you enjoy your time here! The easiest way to stop your laptop searching for available wireless networks would be to switch the wireless adapter off. This is on the left side of your laptop according to the manual.

Lol... that's interesting... Dude is always coming up with sites like that :p

Houston is right, the file transfer estimate in Windows isn't always very accurate, simply because the programming needed to get it properly right would be quite excessive. If you can see the Send & Receive Window, you're good. Having said that, you can search for an Outlook plugin that might …

That's interesting, would have thought it was spyware but apparently not. Oh well as long as it's fine now. Was it IE 8 Beta you got?

Hi Administrators/Moderators, I've been using Daniweb for a while, and like it's clean look and feel, simple navigation system and just generally a homely place (like an online Pret A Manger almost) to read and talk about IT. So imagine my surprise when I logged on today and on the …

That's exactly what it is - a debate between the haves and the have-nots. And I always think if you do have (something useful), then you should share it, if not for anything, because one day you won't have (something useful), and will want someone to share it with you.

Hi Jim, Do you remember any thing that you've changed - new software, new hardware? I suspect that's what's causing the errors. And you will probably have to go into safe mode, maybe with select drivers installed, in order to isolate the problem.

Hey Sam, Have you tried calling the number on the activation screen? Maybe speaking to someone at MS they can stop it from what sounds like an endless and annoying loop. Sorry can't think of much else to do... Don't wanna suggest a re-install in case your activation process doesn't …

Hi bottersbach Have you checked in the BIOS menu, maybe there's something there that needs changing? Sounds like the board doesn't like not having two HDs anymore...

Hello mate. I am a systems administrator myself, and we use Linksys Switches, which work fine. Cisco quality, industry standard, at apparently a fraction of the cost. However I have just checked out the 48-port switches and they look pretty dear. Also, do you not have an in-house server, (which …

Good Charlotte

Hello Po-e! Is the Vaio running Vista or XP? Whichever it is, there is a network connection icon on the bottom right of the task bar (close to where the digital clock is). Right click it, and it will give you an option to search for available networks. Do this …

Haha my best is the guy who after being told the game, says "But why is it faster?" I have to be honest, I don't think that Vista is bad in itself as a concept, but what I do know is that my main issues with it lay in: 1) …

Apparently this issue has been solved, presumably marked so by yourself. Could you please post up what the solution was so that others can learn?

Hey there. Try [URL="http://www.reimage.com/"]this[/URL]. Looks good, although I have to say I haven't used it before and so you use it at your own risk. If you do decide to try it out, do backup all your files, folders and settings, and ensure you have a System Restore checkpoint before …

I may be wrong, but I don't believe that this is possible mate, depending on how it was deleted. If it was deleted through 'User Accounts' in the Control Panel, and the documents weren't shared or backed up on to a separate drive, then I think it might be gone …

First question, did it freeze before you installed SP 3? Or did you buy it with SP 3 installed?
