I don't really believe there is a "Best" AV program out there. It's all about who updates their virus definitions most often. I personally use Microsoft Security Essentials because it's free and have had no problems using it for over a year now. I used to have Norton, but found …

I'm assuming you're referring to the default font settings. You can try these steps. I don't use WLM myself but this should be worth the try. 1. Select Tools | Options... 2. You might need to press the "alt" key for the menu bar to show up. 3. Go to …

I agree with most of their suggestions. Try and reconfigure the e-mail settings. I suggest creating a new mail profile and then do the changes there and then just migrate the e-mails after it works on the new profile

I'm personally not familiar with Power Director or DVDFab but there are tons of software on the internet (most are free) that you can use to rip audio off movies. I believe this is how mp3's started anyway.

I haven't been here for ages. So much has changed and the funny thing is I have unread Private Messages dating back 8 years. LOL... I hope I can help out on some of the newer posts asking for assistance.

As experience has taught me, error 0x80070570 is usually caused by bad ISO's downloaded or bad burns to DVD's. If the DVD was just a burned copy, try burning it again using the slowest possible speed as this usually avoids errors during the process.

When do you get the error? is it right on Start up or when you launch an application? If it shows up after an app is launched, what application was it? looking up the file it seems like it's part of the SQLite Database Library from sqlite.org.

You can actually use a Windows computer for ICS as long as you're not running a Windows 7 Starter version. Instructions are for Windows Vista but shouldn't be much different for Windows 7. Instructions are from http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Using-ICS-Internet-Connection-Sharing Enabling ICS To enable ICS, on your host computer: Open Network Connections by …

Internet has already ruined my life. I have stopped doing my regular exercise, haven't played ball in ages and i spend most of my day in front of a computer (at work and at home). I'm not sure though if it is because I can't play which is why i …

== I just need to know, I'm sure I'll be needing the info in the future. == Whenever I install win2k over win98/ME or I start on a clean install of win2k/XP, I always choose FAT32. This is mainly because I'm familiar with it, and NTFS can't be seen on …

It's a really really fun place with flowers and balloons and lots of sunshine. I really suggest you donate to find out. :)

I'm inclined to agree with your tech support that it could be a virus. What I would suggest is for you to call Microsoft PC Safety Tech Support. I believe they provide free support for Microsoft Windows users. They will assist you in looking for and removing viruses/malwares on your …

[QUOTE=feigned]If I would ever need to resize a boot partition sitting on a server array, I wouldn't be using any third-party tool such as that. Maybe it's just me (and it probably is) but I wouldn't trust that sort of procedure to a program to do. I'd rather destroy what …

nice, I would suggest you compile them in a book or a blog. You won't know when they will come in handy

There shouldn't be any problem installing windows 98 on a pentium 4 PC. not unless you've tried and have encountered problems, in that case, you'll need to elaborate more on the problem encountered.

You need to first check if your computer meets at least the minimum System Requirements for Windows 7. 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor 1 gigabyte (GB) RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit) 16 GB available hard disk space (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit) …

Aliens are true, my previous boss was an alien.

I was wondering of the same, what exactly is it you mean by increasing the bandwidth limits? does this refer to network/internet usage?

Since there is really no valid upgrade path from windows XP to win 7 then it's also logical to assume that it also works vice-versa. Downgrading to Windows XP from win7 will require you to do a clean install of XP wiping out all of the contents of the HDD. …

The problem you gave us is pretty broad, you'll need to give more details about it. 1. Does the monitor power on? (Amber colored light on it even before you turn the computer on) 2. Do you hear any beeps? 3. Specs of your computer? (like what Rik asked, is …

I've been reading and posting again for the past 2 days after years of inactivity. (I've only had the spare time and resources lately) It is only now that I realized that I have missed so much since I became inactive. You know what? I actually missed DW and everything …

My favorite would be Braveheart by Mel Gibson. He's not my favorite actor though. As for my favorite actor, it would be Johnny Depp

Laptops are not really designed for gaming. One of the downsides of using a laptop for gaming is it becomes prone to overheating. The GPU is usually not designed to handle graphic intensive applications. There are, however, gaming laptops such as Alienware. Additional RAM is always good, you can never …

One suggestion I have is to reset it to the default settings. You can find this under Tools>Internet Options>Advanced TAB>Reset Button. See attached jpeg file.

I miss being able to just walk up to my mom and ask for money and then go out and spend it and then the whole cycle starts over...

Honestly, browsers are starting to all look alike. I compared FF4 vs Chrome vs IE9 vs Opera 11 they seriously all look alike...

I remember climbing a tree was a regular thing and not an adventure. I watch G.I. Joe, Transformers.. oh and Alf and wonder years.. :)

This could be a good idea, but most fundings goes down the drain as soon as politics and corruption starts setting in. It could even be a week or an "International Science Month".

Cryptonomicon is nice, i have a copy of it at home but haven't gone about finishing it.

Caffeine is the one and only reason I drink coffee. Just the smell of it wakes my nerves...

One main reason for this to happen is when your laptop overheats. It seems to still be running but is actually in the process of hibernating. When you turn the computer back on, do you get a notification that it was because of overheating? I have a similar experience on …

I'm not really sure why you would want to disable it but nonetheless you can do it by following the steps below: 1. Run "services.msc" or in Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Services 2. Look for Windows Eventlog 3. Right-click and Select Properties 4. Under the drop-down "Startup type" select "Disabled" It should …

Product keys are usually either Retail (ones that comes with copies of windows purchased individually) or OEM. The one you have on the sticker under your laptop is an OEM product key. You are correct in assuming that they use the same image on the laptops that they manufacture. As …

I agree with most of the posts, this would basically constitute as hacking a machine. It is also true that it could've been stolen and pawned, the possibilities are endless.

Caper is correct, there is no valid upgrade path for Win 7 from XP. You will need to do a custom install which is basically a clean install requiring you to wipe out your old windows and replace it with a new one. You will definitely need to back-up all …

All you need to do really is just copy the webpage files to your external device. This is usually saved under C:\Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\My Web Try to look it up and make sure you don't only back up just the webpage but also include all the images that are …

Tank, do you mean by answering the phone is by using the phone dialer incorporated with windows? if yes, then I think I've probably tried that already before. what i did was make a very short wire with jacks that fit the mic-in of the sound card and the speaker-out …

[QUOTE=Catweazle]Considering stand-alone browsers are available which provide those features, and which do not inherit the security risks of IE, I can't really understand why anyone would choose an IE 'bolt-on'[/QUOTE] I agree!!! eversince the appearance of all these spywares/adwares/trojans, I started thinking about why a web browser should be embedded …

LOL@ catweazl

it would make things easier for both of us if you could provide more specific details. Brand/Model/Age... and other things you think is relevant.. :)

[QUOTE=bobcares]Install Freebsd with the kind of resources you mentioned that is the best. Next best option is Linux. Both these have it own set of games. I am not game expert but you do have stuff like doom on Linux. Regards Amar[/QUOTE] I think they have doom on linux, i'm …

is it administrator password for the laptop itself or for the OS?? some additional info on the brand, model, OS, or anything you can provide will give those who want to help a better understanding of the problem that you are having...

I once used an old yamaha CD-RW drive with Nero Burning ROM. It wont detect the CD-RW Drive. It only works on Adaptec's EZ cd creator. maybe you're having the same problem that i had years ago.

just having the thought of coding windows in BASIC is already a nightmare. Imagine all the lines of codes that you'll have to do just to make a window move with a mouse showing all its contents... geeesshh...

Maybe there's something wrong with your LCD display, you should get it checked out.

This doesn't look like its even connected. Check the connections (wireless switch if connecting through wifi). it should show the connection on the bottom-right corner of your screen.

welcome aboard!

These are usually plugins required by a certain page. Most of the time if you just click on the "x" or box it will direct you to where you can download the plugin. I suggest start clicking away but make sure you read all of the things before downloading them. …

does it show up in the device manager?

[QUOTE=luckydude]...I have had some friends in the past, who wouldn't try at all and asked me to do it from scratch. Instead of saying "Could you look at my code and see what's wrong"?, they say "could you do this for me, please"? [/QUOTE] I sympathize... I just hate it …
