 | [QUOTE=ktaylor;659749]Can someone tell me how to start my Dell Dimension E80 with Window XP in Dos Mode? I have been infected by a bug and it will not even start.[/QUOTE] Do you mean that it won't boot up XP? Or that it won't POST at all? I reckon you mean …  |
| | Hi, is the msg coming from your monitor or from Windows XP? Because if it is Windows XP then you can achieve the best settings usually by tweaking the settings in the Display Properties window. If it's from your monitor, then you might have to get the manual out mate. … |
| | I don't think you can lose which ever you go for. A small company gives you hands-on responsibility in a real-life situation, which is very valuable. And like your friend says, a big company helps you learn good business practice, which will also be needed at some point in the … |
| | Hi silverbomb, and welcome to Daniweb.:-) Now about your problem, are you saying that you've gone to Tools > Folder Options > 'General' tab > Open each folder in its own window, clicked Apply, then OK and nothing changes? How about doing something as simple as a System Restore to … |
| | Re: google home page I agree with Oly. I would say along with Laser's suggestion to disable toolbars and add-ons, go to Add/Remove Programs and try to find this "Searchsave" (or the program it came with) and remove it. Also as an extra measure go into your root directory (e.g. usually C: on Windows) … |
| | Hey Kranks, I have used this site [URL="http://www.gsmarena.com/"]GSMArena[/URL] in the past, and it's served me pretty well. Now I've looked on there, and at first glance, I wouldn't bother with the E62, and the BB8320 - They haven't got 3G, which means you can't use HSDPA, the fastest speed mobile … |
 | I personally like how the Word Document Template file is called "WORDPFCT"... I wonder though, how far can you really trust such a list, I mean surely only Msft would know foru sure what these files are called? Or is it something that can be obtained from any Windows machine … |
| | Hi Marek, welcome to Daniweb. I would say, for the convenience factor get a retail copy of XP Pro. That way if you have a machine failure, u have a system CD that you can boot from and so on. Actually what you might want to do is call MSFT …  |
| | Hi all, got one that seems strange (well to me anyway). I replaced the motherboard in an HP DC5100 tower yesterday. Got the new Mobo from HP so no problem there I shouldn't think. I installed it and when I put the PC on, I got a screen telling me … |
 | Which part "didn't work"? You'll have to be more specific. Also have you tried the other software suggested? |
 | Hey there, would you be able to explain things you did before the problem started, and a little bit more detail on how it happens? For instance was it after one evening traversing the web for something that you stumbled across a website that probably installed the stuff on your … |
| | It would appear that I am dealing with a computer that is working contrary to the widely accepted notion that wired connections are more reliable than wireless ones. The computer is normally connects to the network wireless using a Belkin Adapter. No problems there. However I needed to hardwire it … |
| | So you can chat... therefore you ARE connected. But you can't browse straightaway so it seems like you are NOT connected. Is there any way that there is something wrong with the initial connection settings for the browsers, and that's why you have to restart for it to be reset? … |
 | It has to be water. At home or even in restaurants, I like to have nice cold glass of water to help the food go down :-)  |

| | The title of the thread is my random yet hopefully simple question. I "googled" it but didn't find anything that seemed concrete, and so I'm hoping that someone on here will know. So again the question is, Is Vista based on XML, and if so, would it be correct to … |
| | Ugh! Mine is SO boring! "Thinka is a robotic dog that plays MP3s!" I don't really like dogs, only the interesting looking ones, I'm shallow like that!  |
| | Hello everyone, just thought I'd post this in the Windows forum as it's the most appropriate place methinks. My question is basically, why are PCs that are assembled by individuals, not as quiet as PCs that are built by HP, Dell, etc? (I know that the ones from big companies … |
| | Hello knowledgelover, try Tech > Hardware > Peripherals, and post there, that is the most appropriate I think. And welcome to Daniweb! ;-) |
| | [QUOTE=elmhurstmom2009;539710]Ok, was able to get connected to internet here at work, but still no internet???[/QUOTE] I'm sorry I don't understand... You were able to connect, but don't have the internet? What OS are you running on the laptop? |
| | Re: uploading files :-) People still forgetting to Search The Google ey? I definitely learnt that lesson here, and I have to say I'm much the better for it. |
| | Re: freezing Hello mate, first things first you're in the wrong forum, if you've got an XP machine then you should post in the XP forum. This way you stand a better chance of getting the help you want, as the people who can help will only be checking those forums. As … |
| | Hey there, your story is a bit amusing, even more so for me because I've experienced similar. Unfortunately I am yet to strip down the computer sooo I can't give you any help there. My laptop was doing something similar, I couldn't open IE, I couldn't open My Computer, I … |
| | Hey agb, you might want to give some more information. Like how long has the problem been occuring, is it a new computer, or did you change something on your system, or did it just start happening randomly? Have you got IE 7? And if it's not working I'm not … |
| | Hey there, I think you're on the right track. The one thing I would point out is that code (source code) not only determines what the software does, in some cases it also determines HOW it does it. Hence a piece of software can be better than another, to be … |
| | [QUOTE=cancer10;515366]what is with that number?[/QUOTE] Probably a joke. How about alphacms or omegacms? |
| | A lot of people will tell you what I'm going to say - Google or Wikipedia it. Doing that can tell you much more than anyone person can here, plus it's quicker! |
| | Hello all. I'm trying to find a GOOD server for a small business of about 10 people (i.e. 10 - 11 machines, desktops and notebooks) and growing. The only server that I've been able to find is IBM system x3xxx. Could anyone please point me in the direction of any … |
| | I have had a look at some threads and stickies on here, and now I am slightly more worried than when I started looking round for options. I'll explain why in a bit. My PC (which I bought second hand, and was assembled by an individual) won't start up. It …  |
| | Re: Linux Newbie [QUOTE=jbennet;399724] [LIST] [*]1 cd (you can order it if you dont want to download, its cheap - you want version 7.04 feisty fawn) [/LIST] [/QUOTE] Why not 6.06 LTS??? See I downloaded this because I thot it would be better (older so more stable, more support for it, plus the … |
| | Hello, I've got the same small problem. I've installed XAMPP and I've got everything running apart from Mercury. This is the first time I've tried to parse php scripts on my own server, normally I use my uni's server. Anyways, I read in a Sam's book that I'm meant to … |
| | Hello everyone. So I've been reading the threads in this forum for a while now and haven't really found what I'm looking for. Basically I need to install a Linux-based system (onto my Windows PC) for work purposes. According to someone who's used the software etc, that I'm going to … |
| | Now I've Googled this, but didn't get anything that seemed useful, so I'm coming to Google No. 2 :-p. Does anyone know of a Firefox Extension that can obtain the bibliography information of a page? So for instance, if I was viewing a W3C Recommendation that I linked from the … |
| | Hey, I know this is an old thread, but I've just got a quick question. The website says "If you decide to install it, backup your Registry first. " How do you do this please? |
| | My friend's old G4 needs a wireless card, and he would like to know where he can get a good one (preferably online) for a decent price? The Mac Shop he's been to are charging him something ridiculous apparently. The specs of the machine: Processor: 800 MHz G4 Memory: 256 … |
| | Re: invalid disk Hey there, sounds like the same problem I had. What you want to check is the Boot priority in the BIOS Menu. When the system starts up, press/hold down delete... then the blue BIOS setup screen should come up. Arrow across to the Boot Menu. Then open up the option … |
| | Hi everyone, Just wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of software that can play RENTAL DVDs because the ones I have (RealPlayer and VLC Media Player) aren't doing it. They playe non-rental (bought) DVDs fine though. And whilst I'm at it, my WMP doesn't play any DVDs … |
| | Hello again people, I've got some questions about timing that I hope can be answered by someone. I'm trying to use the functions [I]getrusage[/I] or [I]times[/I], or the [I]time[/I] command to time my programs. Now I've got this piece of code that uses getrusage, and my first question is a …  |
| | Hello once again people; I hope I'm not breaking any rules or being cheeky. But I was searching for algorithms/programs on the internet that would help me with my binary search program, and then I came across the piece of code posted here (in the code snippets section)about just the …  |
| | Re: helpppppppp!!!!! Hi there, I just wanted to say, I think you all are making very valid points, and I think it's just unfortunate that some people don't use decent grammar in forums and seem to ask people to do their work for them - I mean even in a school setting, …  |
| | Hey, I'm hoping someone can help out here. I'm trying to use the rand() function to generate sequential random numbers in C, and then write them to file. Now I know it's possible, I'm just not sure whether it is the way I want to do it. I have already … |
| | Hi sophe, First of all, how/when did the problem start? I'm presuming you haven't had it since forever, so it might have been that something you changed, or installed, or updated, may have tampered with the settings. Can't really say much more apart from try to reverse any changes you … |
| | Hi, I am new to Java, and have been trying to write a program that calculates the square root of a number using the Babylonian/Heron method. I have been able to make it work, largely due to a lot of help from a PhD student. So yeah, what I'm trying … |
| | I got 8/10 right in the mini test... pretty pleased with myself as I thought I'd get much less. Shan't attempt any of the other tests tho, not until I'm pretty sure I can score over 50%!! Nice site tho |
| | Ask her to go to internetfrog.com (it has to be from her computer), where she can run a test to see the speed of her broadband, and also how fast she should be able to download and upload to the net. I've only seen problems like that with wireless connections …  |
 | Yea DemonicGoldfish I agree with Titans on the overclocking issue. If you've got a 2GB 800Mhz RAM and you're running on Core 2 Duo, (amazing specs might I add), really overclocking could be like trying to make the string on an already fine bow, finer - you could end up … |
| | Re: advice Please Hi Peter, I have Ad-Aware SE Personal as well on my computer, and I've just done an update. It took a while (by this I mean about 2-3) minutes for it to connect to the Lavasoft Server, but then it did and found updates dated 17/01/2007, which I have now … |
| | Re: i can't type @ Hey chimchims, don't know if you already solved your problem, but I think this should do it (This is using XP by the way) Start -> Control Panel -> Regional and Language Options Then click on the Language tab, and then the 'Details...' button. There in the 'Text Services and … |
| | Hello, wondering if i can get some advice on this problem. Basically when i connect anything through the USB port and try to install it through the Found New Hardware Wizard, at the end it'll tell me "There was a problem installing this hardware *Name of device* An error occured … |
| | [COLOR=Blue]I've been running SP1 of XP Professional since i got this computer in July. I did a System Restore yesterday to clear some problems, and i turned on downloading updates, but so that i still had the option to install them myself. This morning it tells me i could install … |
