I'm not certain, but I don't think just anyone can use that account. Guys, please correct me if I'm wrong. If you are concerned that you might lose/forget your password some day, create a secondary user account with a very complex password that you can keep somewhere secure (not on …

Can you describe what problems you are having?

Try removing the battery and diconnecting the power supply. Leave the laptop like this for a couple of minutes. If the battery was charged, put just the battery in and try to boot the laptop. If that fails, remove the battery, plug it in to the power supply, and try …

I really respect the guys that run that site, but this article is just laughable. I'll openly admit that I am an avid Firefox user, but my issues with the article have nothing to do with my affinity for Firefox. My beef with the article is that the writer correctly …

There are a number of different solutions for your problem. The easiest solution is to replace the RT31P2 with a switch and connect the cable modem to the WRT54G. This would create one LAN rather than the two LANs that you currently have. This isn't a very good solution though …

Have you tried stripping the setup down to nothing more than the mobo, processor, one stick of RAM, and the video card?

It's possible that you have RAM problems. If you have more than one RAM module in your system, try removing different modules and seeing if you can boot. If you can boot with one of them removed, you've found the bad module. It's also possible that your CPU is overheating. …

Go into the Recovery Console again and run the following commands:[code]chkdsk /r sfc /scannow[/code]These commands will first scan your harddrive for errors and attempt to fix them followed by replacing incorrect protected system files with the proper ones. Hopefully this will fix your problem, but more than likely, you will …

Just my two cents. If you are going to be using the system primarily for programming, why would you even want to bother with Vista at all? From all the press releases that I've seen, Vista doesn't offer programmers anything more than XP does (actually... from experience, XP doesn't even …

This is what the Compaq site had to say about the BIOS utility for your system ([url=http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&cc=us&dest_page=product&product=92827&dlc=en&docname=bph07110]source[/url]):[quote]You may have difficulty accessing the BIOS Setup utility screen, because you must press a specific key (usually F1) very quickly before the Windows screen appears. If you do not enter the BIOS Setup …

I don't know where you can get just the chips. The best idea I can come up with is using a Bluetooth USB key to interface with. They are fairly inexpensive, and you could interface with it directly from the USB port.

Download the attachment that I have below, unzip it into a folder somewhere, and double-click it. A pop-up window will ask you if you are sure that you want to add the information to your Registry, click "Yes". This will ensure that the WSH is not turned off in your …

It is normal to see those lines scrolling across. What happens when you see those lines scrolling by? Do you reboot the system or do you let it finish? If you let it sit there, does it hang for a few minutes after a certain point? If so, there may …

Hey nathanpacker. Are you still interested in this?

For files that you can't get working, use [url=http://www.videolan.org/vlc/]VLC[/url]. There are very few video encodings that this program can't read.

Payment integration with what? Are you wanting to automatically submit payments to them or are you trying to set up a payment system?

I imagine that when you are talking about a 2.8, you are referring to an AMD Athlon XP 2800+ since your motherboard supports Socket A chips. There are many 3200+ AMD chips: ClawHammer, Venice, and Winchester. These processors use either the Socket 754 or the Socket 939. Since your board …

I don't think you mean reboot. Rebooting is when you shut the machine down and start it back up. It would make sense if you were talking about reinstalling your system's operating system and software using the system restore CDs that came with your system. Is this what you are …

A router is a switch with routing functions that are necessary to connect to your broadband connection and can also include other devices, such as a hardware firewall and DHCP server, so a regular switch is unable to replace your router. My recommendation is to buy whatever switch fits your …

I'm a member of a large gaming community that is currently split among three different sites. We are now gaining sponsors and need to consolidate our presence to one site. I'm the head of the team that will design the change and implement it. After looking at all the major …

Computer temperatures are usually talked about in Celcius. This helps keep things simpler. 84F is approximately 28C.

I'm trying to delve into some communication protocols, and I want to watch what network requests are made in real time. I've seen mention of such a program some years back, but I don't remember what it was called. I googled around a bit, but I don't know the proper …

If you aren't going to be reinstalling Windows 98 on the machine, you don't need to follow a Windows 98 guide. Just install the distro of Linux you want while following the instructions that it provides. It will walk you through the formatting process.

Usually a power light turning amber on any device indicates that it is in a stanby-mode (i.e. neither off or in operating-mode). Make sure that your system is actually off and not just in standby.

I have received emails and calls from my ISP recently claiming that I am using the connection to download copyrighted torrents. I didn't recognize the files listed, but I removed all my torrent programs and potentially shady freeware apps as a preventive measure. I then ran checks on my machines …

Your list is quite exhaustive. Frankly, some of the "issues" that you are having are not problems for OSes to handle, and expecting an OS to perform such tasks or provide such features is really piling on the bloat (bloat is the primary reason Windows is plagued with as many …

I've been running Vista since it first released. Since day one, I've been able to share the root of a drive (share the entire drive, not just a folder in a drive). I recently added a new drive, shared it, and have had problems with it the whole time (file …

Sweet. I forgot which key it was that did that. Thanks for the tip nanosani.

Seems like the power supply on the monitor might be bad. This is actually a fairly common source of CRT failure. If it's still under warrenty, get the monitor replaced.

That software loads both pop-ups and pop-behinds. It's part of the software. If you don't want them, use different software.

Please clarify your problem a bit more. When you say "start up in Java", are you talking about pages that have Java applets embedded in them? What exactly do you mean by "kicked off websites"? Does your browser suddenly close? Does the browser give you an error? Does the page …
