I thought the same thing. I'm glad to see that I'm not the only person that is noticing the continual degradation of thread subjects. If people posted in the correct forum and section while using descriptive subjects and meaningful post content, the world would be a better place and fewer …

What program are you trying to use?

A 500 error means that something went wrong when the server was processing the request -- a server side error. This can be caused by any of a number of things: code that can't execute, permissions error, improper web server configuration, etc. The best way to find out the source …

Please answer the following questions so we can better help you: What kind of internet connection do you have? When did this problem start? Did you make any hardware or software changes just before the problem? Have you run any antivirus or antispyware scans to see if your system is …

You need to format it for it to show up. Right-click "My Computer", select "Manage", and select "Disk Management" under "Storage" on the left pane. You should see an unformatted disk (it will be the one without a drive letter) listed in the right pane. Right-click the unformatted disk and …

Unfortunately, not many major brands build systems with AMD chips. IBM, Dell, Toshiba, and Sony are currently all Intel-only. Compaq, HP, Fujitsu, Gateway, and Acer offer a selection of systems available with either AMD or Intel processors.

Windows Media Player (and many other players for that matter) uses screen overlays to produce most video renders. It would seem that the output that you are using to route through your VCR and TV doesn't support the video overlays. To turn off the use of video overlays for Windows …

You need to get a broadband router in order to share the internet connection among all the computers.

I don't know if this will resolve your problem, but it's the best thing I've been able to find. Click "Start", "Run...", type "regedit", and click "OK". Find the following key:[code]HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon[/code]On the right-hand pane, you should see a value called [b]allocatedasd[/b]. Change that value to [b]2[/b], reboot the machine, …

Click "Start", click "Run...", type "regedit", and click "OK". Navigate to the following key:[code]HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics[/code]In the right-hand pane, you will see a value called [b]Shell Icon Size[/b]. The default data for this value is [b]32[/b]. If you see a value called [b]Shell Small Icon Size[/b], make sure it's data is …

Are you sure the monitor has the problem and not the system? If the system doesn't provide a signal, the monitor will stay in sleep mode. Try the monitor on a different system (that works) in order to get a "second opinion".

I'm just shooting in the dark here since I don't play WoW anymore, but I'm sure that, as they update the software, older systems will increasingly be unable to play the game. Your processor is fairly old and is most likely the current bottleneck to your system's gaming ability.

Have you repeated this process with files of a different kind, such as image files or standard text documents? If so, does the same thing happen (file can't be read, etc)? If not, try it and see what happens.

Read your documentation carefully. Wireless routers need to be configured by a machine that is directly connected to it (with a CAT5/network cable).

[url=http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Belkin/F5D6231-4/F5D6231-4index.htm]This site[/url] should give you a step-by-step guide on how to set up the port forwarding for any of the games that your son wants to play. The following is something that can work for you, but I do not recommend that anyone does this. I am only offering this …

It is not the components that are the issue (at least, it's not that your system isn't powerful enough to handle L2), there is some other problem at work. I have an AMD Athlon XP 2600+, 1GB DDR333, and a geForce 5500 128MB AGP, and the game runs smooth as …

Rogue is right. From your description of the problem it would seem that you have an LCD monitor or a fairly large (>14") CRT. If you have an LCD monitor, know that LCDs have what is called a native resolution. The native resolution defines what resolution the monitor should be …

The AGP slots are backwards compatible, so there shouldn't be any issues running an AGP4x card in an AGP8x slot. Read your motherboard's manual carefully to ensure that you have set everything up properly. I haven't worked with boards that have both AGP and PCI-E, but I'm sure that you …

Right-click your desktop and select "Properties". Click the "Settings" tab. Click the "Advanced" button. See if there is a tab on the popup window that says the name of your graphics card (mine says "Quadro FX 500"). If so, click it. If you don't see that, click on the tabs …

60hz is fairly low. I never run my monitors under 70hz since I notice flicker under that refresh rate. Are you sure that setting your refresh rate higher than 60hz doesn't address the issue? Does this flicker only happen at certain times, such as when you are watching a video …

- Is this only in a certain game or is it in all games? - Have you tried changing detail settings, changing the rendering engine from OpenGL to DirectX or vice-versa, or modifying other graphical options? - Have you tried going to the [url=http://nvidia.com/page/home.html]nVidia site[/url], downloading the [url=http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_81.94.html]latest drivers[/url], and …

Here's a tip for you in the future. If you lose drivers for your system, go to your system's manufacturer's website ([url=http://acer.com]Acer[/url]), look for a support area or an area that mentions driver downloads, and then search for drivers for your specific system. In your case, go to [url=http://www.acerpanam.com/synapse/forms/portal.cfm?formid=3394&website=AcerPanAm.com/us&originwebsite=acerpanam.com&pupv=pu]this page[/url], …

Once you dropped it, you sent the drive on a death spiral. It just took a few days to have the drive destroy itself. Seagate drives have awesome 5 year warrenties and will replace almost any damaged drive (as long as you don't do something to void the warrenty -- …

[QUOTE=Don A]That's right.. I need to get access to "My Documents" under my Log on password hence I am open to all suggestions.[/QUOTE] What J is saying is that you will be able to get access to those "private" folders as well. The notion that you won't be able to …

Your system may be overheating. If this is the case, the motherboard is turning the system off in order to prevent your system from frying itself. - Are all your fans running? - Is the fan on your processor spinning at full speed? - Does your case have proper ventilation …

Double thread. Please refer all comments to the [url=http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread35398.html]other thread[/url].

As for your "powers on when plugging in", this could be caused by a BIOS setting. There is a setting in many newer BIOSes that tell the computer what to do after a power outage. There are usually three settings: - Stay off - Power on - Last state If …

Case prices have gone up recently. Cases of a certain quality that I could get for $25 and free shipping now cost a minimum of $40 and cost $10-$15 to ship. The only reason I can come up with to explain this trend is that there are many more computer …

It sounds like the primary issue is that the system is locking up. When this lockup occurs, you get the dreadful audio loop and the graphics are shutting off (causing the monitor to go to standby mode). I'd say that your motherboard's hardware monitor is doing its job and doing …

You're blunt and up front, I like that. I don't think anyone will help you steal your neighbors connection though. It is a bit confusing how you can have a new job but still be out of work. Oh well.

Why would you want your fan to stop? If it stopped, your processor would fry.

Try this to force the system to "reset" itself. If you have a battery, take it out. Disconnect the power supply (take the power cable off). Let the laptop sit for about ten minutes or so. If the battery had a charge, put the battery in and try to start …

I would recommend a flash drive for what you are wanting to do. You seem to misunderstand how a CD-RW disk works. It's not some kind of databasing system that can track slight modifications to files, it's just a standard file system with some limitations since it's a CD-RW. If …

You want forum software. [url=http://www.phpbb.com/]phpBB[/url] [url=http://www.vbulletin.com/]vBulletin[/url]

If you are asking about how to make a machine vision program, this is a very hard task. Without someone just giving you the code -- I'm not sure anyone here actually works with machine vision -- we would have a very hard time telling you everything you need to …

The problem is that most old DOS programs, your version of Turbo C++ included, constantly poll for keypresses. Since the DOS environment is being emulated, this means that the program is maxing out the emulation process's processor usage. If you check your process list in the Task Manager as this …

MySQL will just sit there unless something tells it to do something. An easy way to start creating databases and adding tables and data to them is to get a GUI ([url=http://www.navicat.com/]Navicat[/url] is an easy one to get started with. When you are ready to learn some more in-depth commands …

In a situation like this, contact [url=http://support.dlink.com/contact/]D-Link support[/url] and [url=http://creative.com/language.asp?sDestUrl=/support/contact]Creative support[/url], and ask if there are any known issues. One of the support centers should be able to provide assistance to you. I've seen my D-Link USB wireless devices do some wild stuff (all of it driver related). I actually …

It sounds like one of your disks went bad, not that your BIOS went bad. Why is your Windows XP CD not bootable? In my experience, all non-upgrade WinXP CDs have been bootable. To test to see if your system can boot up, this will ensure that your BIOS isn't …

Click "Start", click "Run...", type "regedit", and click "OK". Hold down the 'Ctrl' key and press the 'F' key. Type "CTHelper.exe" in the search box and click "Find Next". You will have found the right entry when you notice that you are in what looks like a subfolder called "Run". …

Do you need help with the HTML form or the Perl code that parses the information sent from the form?

It's very possible that the material/construction of the floor that separates the two floors is blocking/absorbing/reflecting the signal and would hinder any type of connection. I have a DI-624 in my room upstairs that is able to be connected to by two downstairs computers and one upstairs computer. All the …

Get [url=http://www.lavalys.com/products/overview.php?pid=1&lang=en]Everest: Home Edition[/url]. It's free and provides very detailed information about your system. If your system is from a well-known manufacturer, such as Dell, HP/Compaq, Gateway, etc, it is possible to look up such information from the brand and model number of the system.

Read what MartyMcFly posted again. You are going on a completely different tangent than he is. The program is old, very old in computer software land. The problem is that the hardware and operating systems have changed so much, that it is very hard to support such old software. You …

Sounds like her drive has some bad sectors. Restart the machine in [url=http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;314058]Recovery Console[/url] and run "chkdsk /r".

OEM software is intended for use by resellers. It is exactly the same as the regular retail software short of the packaging and other materials.

Why would you be concerned that it wouldn't work? Is there anything you know about the power supply that might indicate that it wouldn't? What is the brand and model number of the power supply?

Try completely uninstalling Nero using their [url=Nero.com/en/Clean_Tools.html]Clean Tools[/url]. Reboot and reinstall without the InCD software. Try doing a new transcode. If it breaks again, apply [url=http://ww2.nero.com/nero6/eng/Patch_for_NVE3.html]this patch[/url] and try again. Some other ideas are:[list][*]See if you can successfully burn a much smaller video (around 10-20MBs) to the disk. [*]Try lowering …

I really don't have much info about Vista, but I am intrigued about why you want to run it so much. Are there any major features that you want from it?
