External USB files look like MYDOCU~1

PS2freak11223 — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 18:49:27 GMT

Hello,

I have an external USB 450 GB device. Recently, the files turned from My Documents to MYDOCU~1. This is also present when I insert other USB drives. If there is any way that I can change this without deleting all the files on the USB, please reply.

Also, if you believe this topic should be in another category, please tell me.

Thank you!

News Story If Windows, Linux and OSX Opened Cafes...

Techwriter10 — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 18:31:12 GMT

Attachment 12481The New York Times reported today that Apple has opened its first Apple Store in Paris, underneath the Louvre no less, and just two weeks after Microsoft opened up a Windows 7 cafe in Paris in another location. The idea of these two companies competing in a retail environment, and especially a Windows-themed cafe, got me thinking about what would happen if three cafes opened each run in the same style of the operating system it was named for. I figure it might look something like this:

Windows Cafe

The Windows Cafe is in a bland store front. The furniture consists of straight wooden chairs with tables with sharp angles. Unfortunately, every so often when you sit in a chair it crashes the to the floor, but you get used to this and figure it's just part of the experience of going to the Windows Cafe. (To be fair they have been testing chairs from a new manufacturer and they are reportedly less prone to breaking in this fashion.) Pictures of a smiling Bill Gates and Windows logos adorn the walls. The coffee tastes fine most of the time, but a surprising number of patrons get sick there, so that it's become standard practice to use hand sanitizer before you go in to protect yourself. The coffee is expensive, and refills are definitely not free, but it's a known quantity, and many people are comfortable going there.

Linux Cafe

The Linux Cafe is a funky place in an artsy neighborhood with eclectic furniture donated by the patrons. It doesn't match, but it's comfortable and the walls are covered with donated pictures and paintings by local artists. The coffee is free, served in black cups (or you can just bring your own), but you need to make it yourself. If you can't do it yourself, the cafe has consultants available to help you for a fee. It's great for people who know about coffee brewing, but many people are intimidated by the idea of making their own coffee and stay away, even though very few people ever get sick who go there.

Apple Cafe

The Apple Cafe is a modern, state-of-the-art facility. The tables are stainless steel and the chairs are ultra-contemporary. Shrines to Apple CEO Steve Jobs are dotted around the wide space. The cups are cool and come in a variety of bright colors. The coffee is well made by a highly trained staff, and even though it costs a lot more, people line up around the block for a chance to drink it. Just don't ask the staff about their coffee-making techniques because they are extremely tight lipped about this. People occasionally get sick there, but it's rare enough for the cafe to brag about its safety record.

So there you have it. Three cafes with three distinct personalities just like the operating systems they represent

Trouble using nohup with &

chandini.david — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 18:07:42 GMT

Hey!!

I'm trying to use the nohup command in background mode (i.e. with the '&' at the end.)

When I generally run the program, I use the command:
./xyz "argument 1" arg 2 arg 3 arg 4 > output.txt

This works fine. Even when I append nohup to it, i.e. type:
nohup ./xyz "argument 1" arg 2 arg 3 arg 4 > output.txt
it works fine. The file output.txt is created and contains the correct data.

However, when I add the '&' sign at the end, as in:
nohup ./xyz "argument 1" arg 2 arg 3 arg 4 > output.txt &
it doesn't work... I mean it shows me a PID, and when i run 'ps', it shows that the process is running... But after I kill the process and check output.txt, the file is empty!!! I even tried checking the file without killing the process first - that didn't help either... where am I going wrong??

slave drive not mounted

icefog — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 16:02:49 GMT

Sort of long story... OS 10.4.11 on a G4, with a second drive, rebooted with a dialog saying "you need to restart..", with a power button graphic. Tried to restart several times with no luck. Booted into safe mode with the S key. Then restarted with the option key and the second drive was no longer available. It is still present as a device on about this mac, but it has no mount point. There were some errors on it when I ran disc utility, but they were not repairable. How do I access it and/or remount it to repair it?

Spy/Malware infestation

Hoggy12 — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 15:56:45 GMT

Hi there,

I am suffering an issue at the moment where if I search on a serach engine and click on a result the web redirects me to another site, this will happen 3/4/5 times before directing to the correct site. After a while I will also get another page open - www.malware-online.com and a pop to say i need to upgrade my antivirus. This freezes the pc untill it opens a 'winodws explorer' window within IE. The only way to get rid of this (if your quick enough) is through task manager.
I have run a virus scan (mcafee) and also run spybot and adaware, both normally and in safemode but it is still happening.

Would someone be able to have a look at this HJT log and let me know if there is anything in there that might explain what is happening?

Thank you in advance :)

News Story Free software for your Mac, iPhone

EddieC — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 15:24:08 GMT

That's right, free. And if it's free, it's for me. Software promoter MacHeist is my new best friend, and for the next five days is giving away nanoBundle, a package of six Mac OS X applications including the highly-rated Twitterrific, which normally sells for US$15. In all, $154 worth of applications for your Mac OS X (10.4 or higher) for nothing. Nada. Gratis. Free, as in beer. But tap it while you can; the keg runs dry this Friday the 13th.

In addition to Iconfactory's Twitterrific, which is also available for iPhone, the nanoBundle includes two word processors (one of which is not fully unlocked), a cool looking game called Hordes of Orcs, a screen sharing utility called TinyGrab, and ShoveBox, a clever-looking utility that I intend to try out immediately. The tool, which normally sells for $25, provides a "box" into which you drop items that are important but cannot have your attention now. A URL you accidentally came across, someone's resume attachment, a picture of that used car you're selling. Shove them in the box for later action, or send them to your iPhone.

NanoBundle isn't the first MacHeist. Back in March MacHeist drew attention for offering an even larger bundle of apps worth more than $900 retail for just $39. The response was reportedly mixed, with some in opposition asserting that the software was being given away for too little. The move even spurred a group of independent developers to launch One Finger Discount, a coat-tail operation that offers a 20-percent (one-fifth) discount of the retail price. Hardly a similar reduction, but hey, whatever works.

Windows XP Pro unable to install

Zeki — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 07:48:33 GMT

Hi everyone,

I am trying to fix a pc for a friend. He has a HP Pavillion with a SATA HD (1) and SATA Lightscribe DVD Writer (2).

System is set to Boot from DVD first then HD.

The HD is the Primary Master and the DVD is the Primary Slave.

Installation of XP Pro begins but at first reboot the installation process starts all over again rather than picking up from where it left off.

Just to make sure I have taken the HD out an formatted (NTFS) it in my own machine to make sure it is empty. I can write and save to the HD while it is in my PC without any problems.

Does any one know what is going on and have some solutions?

My cursor stopped working

DawnMarieDuzan — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 19:49:41 GMT

Ok. I have a Acer Laptop. I don't have the make or model in front of me. I'm actually at work. The other night I had my laptop on and open. My kitten was niffing around. He walked across it, nothing new. Then he laid down next to it. I think he liked the warmth. So I X'd out of the internet so that if he touched any keys I wouldn't wind up on some crazy website. So he laid very close to the laptop with probably a little bit of his upper body and lower body leaning on the leftside of the keypad. I didn't think that he pressed anything because nothing was happening. But when I waved him away and tried to get back on the curser wasn't moving. I tried it with both the pad and a wireless mouse. I don't know if it's possible that the kitten may have leaned on a few keys that in succsession would cause the curser to become inactive. Please advise if you can.

Some tutorials or material explaining the registry...?

Grand666 — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 18:14:26 GMT

hey guys,
im new here and this is my first question.

my pc runs a bit slow and im sick of trying all those system care products that people claim to work. ive tried so many but it just seems worthless. i know my best bet is to reinstall windows clean but i dont have an external hard drive and cd's will be take alot of time.

so i was wondering if some of you gurus out there can maybe spare some time and tell me where i can learn exactly how the registry works? alll those DWords and how it relates to your programs. what happens when you delete one of those keys and how you can manually clean your registry.
ive noticed some programs that i uninstalled still have all their keys in the registry. i just dont want to delete them coz im scared. lol
is there any resources that explain exactly how it works and how to manually fix it?
im studying fo rmy CCNA to take the test next year. yaya."-)

News Story Avoid Windows Denial of Service

EddieC — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 18:00:01 GMT

Microsoft on Tuesday is set to release six security updates, three of which it has deemed critical and apply only to versions of Windows other than Windows 7. Microsoft released advance notice of its Security Bulletin for November, on Nov. 5. The bulletin itself will be released on Tuesday along with remedies, as per its normal patch cycle. Other alerts are labeled "important," one of which involves a denial of service vulnerability for Windows; the other two affect Excel. Redmond will reportedly release updates for Windows XP, 2003 and 2007 and Office 2004 and 2008 for Mac OS X.

Save the one warning of DoS attacks, all the vulnerabilities involve remote code execution, as did the 13 patches released by Microsoft on October 13, fixing nearly three dozen flaws, all of them critical. A critical warning is one "whose exploitation could allow the propagation of an Internet worm without user action," according to the company, while one that is one step down at important, is said to be one that "could result in compromise of the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of users data, or of the integrity or availability of processing resources."

Microsoft on Monday also released an update to MS09-054, the part of its October patch-fest that applied to Internet Explorer. This one, which went somewhat under the radar, as explained on the company's technet Website, addresses the way pages are rendered.

No Internet on Laptop

BleedingPatriot — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 15:59:06 GMT

I have a Sony Vaio Laptop that I purchased about 1year ago. It worked great for about 6 months or so. I purchased a new laptop around that time and haven't touched it since. I would like to sell it now and when I went in to test it and make sure everything was working OK, I noticed that the internet would not work...I installed Chrome, FireFox, IE6, IE7, and IE8. None of them worked, I also went as far as formatting the hard-drive, reinstalling Vista, and reinstalling all three of these browsers and it still will not work. I am really at a loss to figure out what is happening here??? The only thing that is consistent is the fact that when I try to open any page I get a message that states (for example...)"The server at www.google.com is not responding". Any input would be greatly appreciated.

nvidia settings not surviving reboot??

HLA91 — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 15:40:47 GMT

Hi all

Yesterday my resolution was changed and I tried to change it back but nvidia wouldn't list the resolution I wanted 1280x1024 so I removed the nvidia driver and re-installed it.
After that it worked, it listed the resolution i wanted, but then this morning I booted up and the resolution was 1152x864 so i entered

gksudo nvidia-settings

and changed my resolution back to 1280x1024 and clicked apply, then save to X configuration file, and it did. Upon reboot the setting were back at 1152x864 so I tried it again but every time I reboot the settings are lost. On Google I found some people having the same problem but clicking "save to X configuration file" does the job but in my case it doesn't.
I am using nvidia accelerated graphics driver (version 180) [recommended]
Can anyone help me please?

Many thanks

HLA91

Click on Search Results and redirected to non-related page

MPRatamacue — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 15:30:18 GMT

Every I conduct a search for something using Google, I get the true results listed but when I click on the result I am redirected to a page on Virus software, travel sites or something similar. I can open the results if I right click the link and get it to open in a new tab.

Additionally, unless I run IE8 on Admin Mode for Vista, I continually crash.

I have run McAfee and gotten 300+ instances of Virnut.n.gen repaired and had 7 instances of Artemis! quarantined.

Multiple Viruses

munecka — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 14:06:13 GMT

I've clicked on some link and now I have multiple critical viruses. Trojans, key logger variant, etc. I'm not able to access the registry, I think damage has been done to it. What can I do? Reformatting the computer isn't a problem for me. There's nothing on it that I need to keep. Is this the best option? If so, how do I do it?

slow windows xp (32 bit) startup with kaspersky internet security 2010

Zman420 — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 05:00:39 GMT

Recently I have been having a slow XP startup that after many sleepless nights I have narrowed down to Kaspersky Internet Security 2010. I believe I have a solution that you may try if you are having the same problem.
Just disable it from running at system startup. Settings/Protection in the application menu. After you have done this go into the task scheduler. Control Panel/Performance and Maintenance/Task Scheduler. It should be near the bottom.
I have scheduled Kaspersky as a task to run everytime I logon and after 4 successive boots, I am having no slow startup. I admit it's not running at computer startup, but if it impedes my use of the computer then it's not really worth it IMO. You might try to run the task at system startup, but I haven't tested it. I haven't really tested this either, but it seems hopeful. Hope this may help anyone with the same problem. I couldn't find any answers.

Verdict on Windows 7!

cyb3rl0rd1867 — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 02:49:59 GMT

A friend was asking me if I thought upgrading to windows 7 was a good idea. Since I don't have windows 7 I told him I would get back to him after I asked around. So, what is your personal opinion of Windows 7? No links to reviews or anything like that, just personal experience. Thanks a lot!

How to restore a Time Machine Backup after reformat?

micseydel — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 23:59:15 GMT

I backed up my entire Mac 10.6.1 to an external drive with Time Machine.

I then reformatted it using the disk it came with (10.5 something), and upgraded, and now I'd like to restore that Time Machine backup. The issue I'm having is that it won't let me restore a backup.

When I tell Time Machine to use the drive, it uses it and will let me look at the backup. I love the beautiful aesthetics, but I stopped being impressed when I found that the restore button in the bottom right corner was not clickable.

Is there a way to restore that backup as I expected the name "backup" would let me?

Computer acting up, veruy slow (Please Help)

ep2002 — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 23:45:34 GMT

Ok, here are the issues I'm having & yes I run a lot of anti programs including Advanced System Care which some say they love & a few people say caused problems.

Honestly I can't remember when the problems started, at least 4-6 months ago & it may have started after I bought the ASC, but I just exited out of it & still no change.

1. I click on "my computer", & it takes about 20-30 seconds to let me have access to the window. That's even after rebooting which I just did.

That also happens with Fx, but when I've rebooted, everything is very quick until I leave the computer & come back, then it takes several minutes to let me have access.

Also in the last several days I'm having problems with TB (thunderbird) & I didn't have hanging problems with TB b4.

2. This is the most frustrating thing.

At first I thought it was the site, but then it started happening on 3 different sites & after bitching & arguing, I have to admit it may very well be on my end.

Either:

a) www.cj.com

when I login into the membership area (main index page is fine), the CSS files don't load so I can't do anything within the site. Others don't have this problem. That's on both Fx & IE.

b) www.odesk.com

When I go to edit one of our job postings, it won't let me save it saying the start date is wrong even though it's not.

After weeks of them testing it, it works fine in Fx for them, but not for me. I just tried it again & Fx just came out w/ an update & still can't do it.

In IE it works fine

c) www.freedomvoice.com

Tried to upload audio files & make changes to my acct., can't do it in Fx, only in IE.

They say they tested it & there's nothing wrong. Now I didn't try it out after shutting down Fx which I should have done & I don't want to touch anything to test it b/c it's the way I want it now.

My assistant also had this problem in Safari & Fx, but he's on a MAC & you know most coders can't code properly for MACs, so that doesn't really tell me much.

d) www.Hyperoffice.com

I add a new day in the notes area & instead of it taking me back to the last window, it takes me all the way back to the folders area.

It's intermittent & they claim there's no problem on their end.

I do have to say one thing. Most if not all of these sites are poorly coded I think. I'm not a coder, but I know how sites work & I can tell when it's garbage code.

The thing is, no one else is having the problem. I have the latest version of Fx, I hate IE, sometimes the site works on IE, but I don't use IE daily enough to know if it's just Fx or what is going on.

It's stressing me out, wasting my time, PLEASE HELP!

Thanks

Michelle

News Story 9 Free Linux Distributions: A Linux Free For All

khess — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 23:41:22 GMT

Have you searched for Linux distributions that are 100% free? Did you find more than one that suited your needs? Well, here's a list of nine from which you can choose your favorite. Free means freedom to alter, redistribute, sell or release as a different product with no restrictions on you or your new distribution.

1. BLAG - Blag is an operating system. Blag has a suite of graphics, internet, audio, video, office, and peer to peer file sharing applications. Based on Fedora, Blag has just about everything you'd ever need for productivity and fun.

2. Dragora - Dragora is an independent distribution of GNU/linux based on the concept of the simplicity. It aims to be a multipurpose, stable and powerful operating system while maintaining the simplicity of Unix. The initial release of Dragora was June 13, 2008. Dragora GNU/Linux 1.1 was released October 8, 2009.

3. Dynebolic - A GNU/Linux distro that focuses on audio/video production with a host of applications such as Jack, SuperCollider, Csound, Fluxus and of course Pure Data with a great collection of externals (PDP, PiDiP, Gem, GridFlow, RRadical, PixelTango).

4. gNewSense - a GNU/Linux distribution based on Debian and Ubuntu, with sponsorship from the FSF. This is the distribution that Richard Stallman himself uses--so you know it's good because he could use any of them.

5. Kongoni - Kongoni is the Shona word for a Gnu (also known as a Wildebeast) the animal which inspired the name of the GNU operating system. The name represents the spirit and history of Kongoni, a GNU/Linux operating system of African origin. Kongoni is a desktop-oriented operating system with a strong belief in being truly free software. This means that Kongoni will neither include nor ship any software not under a license approved by the Free Software Foundation.

6. Musix GNU+Linux - Based on Knoppix and oriented toward audio production, Musix contains a giant repository of free software. Don't let the website fool you; Musix is available in a variety of languages including English.

7. Trisquel GNU/Linux - Based on Ubuntu, with all proprietary and non-free software removed, Trisquel is a free and easy to use operating system with multi-language support.

8. Ututo - The first fully free distribution recognized by the GNU Project. This one is Gentoo based and is actively developed in Argentina.

9. Venenux - VENENUX GNU/Linux is a free/libre operating system primarily for people in Ibero-America. It aims to cover the needs of any type of user, with software for almost every necessity while remaining fast and easy to install. VENENUX is the fruit of the work of a group of people of different Hispanic countries.

There are a few distributions that come close to free but still contain non-free and proprietary software, allow you to install non-free software or advertise non-free software during the installation process. These will be listed in an upcoming post so watch carefully for that. In the meantime, if you can check out these nine very capable distributions and report back to me on how you like them.

What do you think? Is it important or not for a distribution to be composed of and only allow free software?

Computer crashed while formating new HDD. PC wont detect HDD anymore.

rkulp — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 21:51:56 GMT

I was formatting a brand new hard drive the other day and my computer froze up so I just shut it off. Now the new hard drive is not being detected in BIOS or in Windows. When I go into the BIOS setting and try to auto detect the hard drive, it window pops up that says "Auto Detecting Hard Drives..." I let the computer do its thing for about 10 hours and the window never went away and the hard drive was not detected. What should I do to fix this?

News Story Google Tries Transparency with New Dashboard

Techwriter10 — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 21:35:48 GMT

"If we went into an “evil room” and had an “evil light” shined on us, and we then behaved in an “evil” way we would be destroyed… there is a fundamental trust between Google and its users.”
~Eric Schmidt, Google CEO

Google released an exciting new product today called the Dashboard. I don't usually call Google products exciting because it makes me sound like I'm writing their marketing literature, but the Dashboard provides a way to see an overview of all your activity across every Google product you use. And if you're like me, that's a lot. Instead of guessing what information Google has, you can now see it all in one convenient place.

Getting To The Dashboard

Accessing the dashboard is a simple matter. Follow these steps:

Go to Google.com.
Click Settings > Google Account Settings and your account page opens.
At the top of the page in the right column labeled Personal Settings, click View Data Stored with Account (next to the Dashboard label). The Google Accounts page opens with all of the information across each of your Google accounts.

Why It's Great

I always loved that quote at the top of this post from Google CEO, Eric Schmidt above. It suggests that for some reason we should just trust Google with our data. It's an absurd notion of course, and even more so in that ridiculous quote, but Google Dashboard is a good first step. It gives users a one-stop shop to see all of their data and settings.

As individuals interested in accessing and understanding data, this is a huge step forward. For businesses, it's even more important, especially from a regulatory and compliance point of view. It gives everyone, big or small, access to their data in a simple fashion, which is as it should be.

Google's Free Tools Are Attractive and Scary

When I saw Marissa Mayer's presentation recently on the Google's new social search, one thing jumped out at me. You have to give Google information about your social networks in order for the search engine to display social search results. This seemed like a huge thing to ask users, and it goes directly to the heart of the problem many people have with Google. Yes, the tools are wonderful and free and available wherever you go, but any thinking person has to wonder about the portfolio of information that Google has on each of us -- our mail, our search history, what we read and the pictures we take, the videos we watch and the ones we add, and on and on it goes. And the social search would mean Google would have access to our friends too (whom we associate with).

All of this is a bit scary, so you'll have to pardon me if I don't trust Eric Schmidt's assertion that they won't ever step into that "evil room." But for starters, the Dashboard at least gives us insight into what information that Google has on us its databases, and gives us the opportunity to change our privacy settings and to delete services we don't want anymore. It may not be a panacea for paranoia, but it's a start, and I'll take it.

The virtualization, called "XP mode".

Alex_ — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 20:30:07 GMT

Hello everybody. I wanted to ask what does exactly Win7 do with their so called xp mode. As i have seen from various clips, this "mode" is actually just a virtual machine that runs win XP. Am i right?

If the answer is yes then how come not all processor can support the "mode"? I mean, a virtual machine is just a program that creates/assigns virtual resources for a process, isn't it? What is so special then about this xp virtualization that not all processors can support?

Secondly, when a distinct program is run from xp mode (but without xp's desktop) does it still run virtualized? Is it still XP's program, or they use a different technick (like emulating the xp's environment . Ex wine for linux) ?

And thirdly, concerning the CPU(this is less related to Win7 particularly ), OS virtualization != CPU's virtual mode... isn't it?

By cpu virtual mode i mean the ability to expand the limit of memory addressing . For example 8086 real mode can address to 1 MB of memory while virtual mode - 1 GB (if i'm not mistaken).

Can Faulty mobo destroy ram?

janoleolsen — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 19:22:18 GMT

Bought Platinum MSI ATX mainboard, Geil 2GB Dual RAM, E6600 CPU, Raptor disk. Have had an interesting experience...

HISTORY:
PC started crashing, after a year the Raptor disk died (metallic sound and no boot/access), when I used then only 1 RAM chip at slower than specified latency, it crashed less. Eventuelly it crashed more. I replaced RAM, PC worked fine for a few days, then started crashing. I switched PSU (from 400W to 200W), it crashed less, but suddenly no more boot (just fan on/off sound). The old 400W PSU had a tendency to restart fan at boot, like a faulty engine start. No problem with "new" 200W PSU ("new" PSU I've used for 7 years with Athlon - never a problem).

Got new mATX mainboard, worked super for 1 week. Then new raptor died in the same way. Got new raptor disk. 2 days later, no boot with new mainboard. But then I switched RAM banks, so RAM chip 2 is in bank 1 at the moment and everything is perfect. BUT I expect this will not last...

Any idea of the source of the problem? Should I replace everything as maybe mainboard destroyed ram, and then the destroyed ram will destroy new mainboard and maybe CPU and PSU, so best to replace everything to avoid "infection" from faulty parts? :-/

Another black screen issue...

adlitem — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 17:57:22 GMT

Hello,
I had been having some monitor distortion issues on my Dell XPS m1210 so yesterday I downloaded the nVidia GeForce Go 7400 from the Dell support website to see if that would fix it. Now I have even bigger issues. Upon restarting, I was left with a black screen and am not able to do anything. No Dell screen to try launching the F8 or F12 tools. The hard drive light is on and the notebook sounds ok but the screen is blank.

I tried to get to the diagnostic tools by using the CD and no luck that route either. I also read that I could try reinstalling Vista. Is that my only other option at this point?

Any other suggestions?

Thanks

Detect CPU!!!

group256 — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 17:10:27 GMT

Hey everyone,

For my project, I need to write an assembly code to detect multiprocessors. I really have no idea how as I have barely done assembly coding and I have no good reference or even idea how to start. Again, what I am going to do is, I'm trying to find how many processors on dual core or quad core chips there are and detect them and later on use them. Please help me out here.

Thanks a lot.

News Story I'm in love with an eight megapixel Android

newsguy — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 11:31:59 GMT

Now that's what I call an Android phone. Actually, that's what I call an Android phone that might just kick some iPhone ass.

The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 social networking phone is Android powered and feature rich. How rich? Well, how does 1GB RAM plus 16Gb of flash storage and a stunning 8.1 megapixel camera that comes complete with a geo-tagging function strike you?

That's on top of the 4" (854 x 480, 262,144 color TFT) touch-screen and GPS, and WiFi, and Bluetooth of course. OH, and not forgetting the Qualcomm Snapdragon, a 1GHz system-on-chip that you can also find inside the new Acer Liquid phone.

And, of course, there's the all important Android inside. This time working with the Sony UX layer for social networking. The new UX platform, as I understand it, throws a new UI on top of the Android OS which will integrate and sync a variety of social networking and comms media content. From what I can tell it would appear to be the Sony take on the HTX Sense UI.

There will be UX specific apps coming, although they are in short supply right now. So far you get a unified comms management app called Timescape which supports Twitter and Facebook as well as your email and text message services. Plus there is another called mediascape which integrates media content for playback from sources such as YouTube and PlayNow.

Expect the Xperia X10 to arrive early in the new year, with Japan getting first dibs on the sexy 8 megapixel Android.

Recover Hard-Deleted Items from Exchange

maximusimo — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 11:18:42 GMT

Hi,

Microsoft Exchange 2003 on Small Business Server 2003.

Within

Exchange System Manager > Servers > Servername > First Storage Group > Mailbox Store properties > Limits

the Keep deleted items for days & Keep deleted mailboxes for days are both set at 30.

Now, i know within Outlook you can go into Deleted Items and Recover Deleted Items but this happens on the client itself and only with 'soft deleted' items. Is there a way that items in 'Recover Deleted Items' can be viewed in some other way than on the actual users machine? Possibly recover to another Mailbox or the like?

The Ultimate Tweak: Vista/XP install on large cluster sizes

sagulili — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 09:29:08 GMT

The ultimate tweak: Windows Vista or XP installs on larger than default allocation sizes. Even 64KB cluster size. Lesser fragmentation. Make your drive perform like RAID.

The choice of cluster size has an impact on real-world performance, though for most people it is not all that significant. In a nutshell, larger clusters waste more space due to slack but generally provide for slightly better performance because there will be less fragmentation and more of the file will be in consecutive blocks. This occurs because when clusters are larger, fewer of them are needed than when they are small. A 10,000 byte file would require three 4 kiB clusters but only one 16 kiB cluster. This means this file will always be in a contiguous block if stored in a 16 kiB cluster, but could be fragmented if stored in a 4 kiB cluster size partition. The slack tradeoff is a waste of 4 kiB more storage in the case of the 16 kiB clusters, but, this is hardly an issue now with the gargantuan sizes of hard drives nowadays. Small cluster sizes also have a negative effect on partition because they require larger file allocation tables, to manage their much larger numbers of clusters.

Due to this advantage on real world performance of larger cluster size, many have tried to install windows on partitions with cluster sizes larger than 4kb but to no avail. Windows will not allow installing itself on a partition with a cluster size larger than the default allocation size of the NTFS file system... but there is a way around this. Though you cannot use anymore system restore and windows backup, and the installation disk for repairs but who uses them anyway. And who cares when your drive works like RAID.

Five years ago, I have tried for weeks to install Windows XP on a drive formatted with 64KB cluster size with no success. I have searched the net for related articles on how to install Windows on a 64KB cluster size drives or partitions and I found nothing. Okay, let’s cut to the chase, I know you’re itching to do this. Here’s how it works:

1.Partition your drive so that it has two volumes. The first partition you set as the physical volume must be 10 MB or larger and format it with FAT32 or NTFS file system with default allocation size. You should create this partition first because this will become your boot drive and you would want it to be on outer most part of the disk for performance reasons and label it as BootDrive or SystemDisk (any label would do).
2.Create another partition and format it with the NTFS file system with a cluster size of 64KB or 32KB or 16KB, whatever you prefer, but for better performance larger means better as it means less fragmentation and lesser head movement. Label the partition as OSDrive, Windows or anything.
3.Run your windows installation disk. When the installation prompts you to choose which drive or partition you may want to install Windows, choose the second partition you made and it works like magic. It's that easy.
And, oh, besides the two partions that I have told you to create, you might want to hide first your other drives or partitions before installation, or better disconnect it, as Windows might install its system files on those disk if those drives or partitions have default allocation sizes. This tweak also works on Vista. Enjoy!

Need help understanding GPU memory clock?

opethcire316 — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 07:15:03 GMT

I am building a new cheap computer and I'm looking at two graphics cards
XFX HD-487A-ZWFC Radeon HD 4870 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP
and
HIS H487FN1GP Radeon HD 4870 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP

my question is i noticed that the memory clock on the XFX card is 900Mhz, however the HiS has 3600Mhz memory clock. I've been trying to do some research on this but haven't been able to find my answer. I read something about actual clock speed vs ?? (i forgot what it was called) clock speed. and that your actual speed is half of the reported?
If anyone could help clear this up for me I would greatly appreciate it,
also any advice on which one to get would be appreciated too.

Thanks.

Help! How to Retrieve Files From Unreadable Partition

spidey — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 06:19:42 GMT

HELP PLEASE!!

I got 2 partitions C and D. C: is my main drive. Both have OS installed.

A week ago, C: is not starting up. Since then, I'm using D:. When I was trying to retrieve a file stored in C:, a message appeared saying C is not formatted and asked if I want to format it now. I also tried to explore Drive C but same message appears after hanging for some seconds.

HELP, I think my C: got damaged. Is there any way I can RETRIEVE files from that drive? I got tons of important files saved there. My friend suggests Partition Magic. I just don't know if it would work.

Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you.

Ram question?

opethcire316 — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 04:59:28 GMT

Hello all, I'm putting together a cheap computer, here is a couple of the things i have,
a GIGABYTE GA-MA770T-UD3P mobo, AMD Phenom II X2 550 processor, and G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) ram.
My question is, I believe that i saw somewhere that the 550 can only do Ram at like 1333, is this right? I don't know where to look to see if this is the case or too much about Ram. Will my setup not run the Ram at 1600? Any help and explanations will be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Stand By light on all the time

musden49 — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 03:54:47 GMT

I was given an E-Machine with a ASUS motherboard (P4S533-MX). The computer will not power up and the green stand by light is on as long as the cord is plugged in. I tried clearing the CMOS. I put a new tested power supply and unplugged the CD Rom. Only the hard drive and two sticks of ram, mouse and keyboard are hooked to the motherboard. The off/on switch works. And the monitor is good. Any ideas. RPM

Super easy question

snakeplyr — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 02:41:02 GMT

I haven't wanted to ask anyone this for fear of sounding stupid. I have a PC running an AMD processor and a geforce video card. It's hard to find mobos with that combination. Most mobos that I like have an AM3 socket but an ATI Radeon video chipset. I don't do SLI so one PCI-E 2.0 slot is enough. Will my geforce card work on these mobos even though they are ATI chipsets?

Here is a link to a random mobo just like the ones I'm talking about. This is not the one I want, just the first good example that I found.

Windows Vista and A Virus?

khwhitaker — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 02:00:42 GMT

I am running Windows Vista home edition. Recently I think a virus or something has ruined my computer. I can no longer download any program from the web and many of the programs that reside on my hard drive will not function. I am led to believe their is a registry problem. Microsofts suggestions of doing restores just made the entire situation worse. Any help appreciated.

What could this be?

ingeborgdot@yah — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 01:06:04 GMT

I know it could be a number of things but does anyone have a suggestion? It started about 7 days ago that my computer would just restart by itself. It did this several times in a short period. Now it has only done it a couple of times in the last several days. What does it sound like?

Looking for a toggle script for Windows 2003

jengland — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 18:23:40 GMT

I'm trying to figure out how to toggle between a checked box and unchecked box just by a mouse click over the character. I have Windows 2003. I figured out enough to get the option in the tool bar under "all entries," but what a pain to do that to every box I want checked.

Also, this document I'm working on will be a "password protected" document. I'm trying to recreate an existing "password protected" document so I KNOW that this can be done.

Any input is appreciated. Thank you!

Outlook 2007

jaywan — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 15:04:43 GMT

I have a machine here running Windows XP with office 2007. The prob is when you send a mail it shows 2 mails leaving outbox. I've checked for spyware with ScanSpyware and the have licensed nod32 firewall and antivirus running for over a year. I checked if it might be some setting but everything is seems fine. No read receipts etc. which I thought could cause it either.

Has anyone ever heard about outlook 2007 or earlier doing this? It bugs me and would really want to change this, or atleast understand why.

Bad Gaming Performance.

Mystic-G — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 13:38:37 GMT

Please Read, it is related to this forum section.

System Specs:
CPU: Pentium D (dual core) 3.2Ghz
Video Card: Evga 8800GTS 320MB Superclocked
Ram: Kingston KVR667D2N5/2G (one stick of ram)
Motherboard: Asus P5QL/EPU
Hard Drive: 250GB Western Digital (IDE)
OS: Windows XP Media Center Edition 32bit
PSU: 600w OCZ SilentxStream

I been using this setup for about 2 years now and it ran games just fine.

About 6 weeks ago my old motherboard (Asus P5PL) gave out. I had to buy a new motherboard and ram (my old ram was incompatible with the new motherboard), I also reformatted my hard drive and reinstalled Windows along with replacing them. Now when I play my games (such as Call of Duty 4 and Battlefield 2 titles) they run poorly even on very low or minimum settings. I used to run them at near max settings pretty smoothly before with my old motherboard. I tried changing my video drivers three times now, but nothing's changed.

Specifically what happens while playing Call of Duty titles is the fps will go up (70+ frames per second) if I look away toward a wall or floor, but when I look to where everything is at and all the action it drops pretty badly (30-50 frames per second), even on minimum settings. I run my games at either 1024x768 or 1280x1024 so it shouldn't be straining the video card that badly. But as said, I used to run the games pretty smoothly all the time before at near max settings. Every game has generally not so great frames-per-second compared to my old motherboard.

Side notes:
*DirectX is up-to-date.
*All my drivers are installed.
*CPU temps are 39c at idle, 55c while playing BF2, and 60c while playing CoD4.
*GPU temps are fine
*Windows is a fresh install.
*Not too many apps running in the background.
*Ran chkdsk fine.

Some people said that because I'm running one stick of ram that, that might be the culprit behind the lack luster gaming performance. I had multiple sticks of ram on my previous setup. Could two sticks in dual channel be that much of a performance difference than one stick in single channel. The frequency of the ram module is 667Mhz by the way.

PC Works but sometime it doesn't start anymore

Asimov6 — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 13:15:11 GMT

Hello good people!

I have just build a htpc. The mohterboard is a ga-ma78gm-ud2h with an AMD X2 250 Processor, it has a 1G samsung harddisk, a Infrared USB receiver.

The PC seems to boot just fine when it has been unplugged from the mains. But when I shutdown the pc and want to restart it, it just doesn't start anymore. I have to unplug and replug it from the mains and after that it will start just fine.

Does anyone know where I should start looking?

Thanks a lot for you help!

Firefox tabs keep popping up

jsbrewer — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 05:27:59 GMT

Everytime I open my firefox browser additional tabs keep popping up. Not just one or two, but 20. when I try to close the tabs more keep popping up. I have to close the entire browser in order to stop it. Each tab is directed to the firefox help and support site.

I also have the same issues with internet explorer. Everytime I open a browser, Windows Help and Support window keeps popping up. When I close the window it just keeps popping up. When I use the task manager to close the process, it gives me an additional 10 seconds before the window pops up.

I thoroughly checked the F1 key...it's not stuck. I don't know what to do...Please Help!!! I have included the hijackthis log, Kapersky's online scan, malwarebytes log, and the unistall log. The Dekard's system scanner seems to be down so I cannot provide that log.

Using msconfig safeboot with the wrong malware on board

gerbil — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 04:50:03 GMT

This post is to help a chap who pc'd me; I put it here in full to aid others.
Nouveaunoise "hello there my name is conor i am from ireland and i have a problem with my comp. basically im an idiot and did something i knew i shouldnt have done but due to frustration i did it anyway.
basically i had bad malware + b.exe and all sorts of problems which i was unable to resolve.
this all crippled my os and would not allow me to delete any of it. it crippled my system restore (group administrator block bullshit) it also wouldnt allow me to enter safe mode (blue screen shut down), so me being an idiot i did the msconfig safeboot! BOLLOX why did i do that i shouldn have done that. u know what happened from there as you posted on this very matter a few years ago.
i had no xp cd so i made a usb bootable recovery console http://tuts4tech.net/2009/07/14/crea...overy-console/ which worked fine. the problem im having is when i enter bootcfg the options come up. but when i prompt one of them i cant access anything. example bootcfg /list = there are currently no boot entries available to display.
bootcfg /rebuild = error: failed to successfully scan disks for windows instalations. this error may be caused by corrupt file system. so i do the chkdsk the volume appears to be in good condition the thing that gets me is the size 1957600kilobytes. (i know im really stretching this out so for that i am sorry) basically the usb is 2gig so it is obviously reading that and thats why it wont let me into the bootcfg to edit the safeboot switch."

Hello, Conor... a bit of bad luck there. Windows is chokka with traps for the unwary, and most of us are that at first.
Okay, running an RC from a USB stick. First off, it is a bit of a worry that when RC was starting it did not suggest your Windows installation to log into [ie. you are in the RC, but it uses C:\WINDOWS as the prompt if it found an installation, or C:\ if it did not].
bootcfg /scan will hunt through all your drives for a Windows. If it reports a drive error then you are most likely using Sata drives with either RAID or AHCI configuration without the correct driver loaded. So restart your RC, but this time use the F6 key to load the corrrect Sata driver. It will be on a floppy...
No floppy with the Sata driver? Then go into BIOS and edit temporarily your Sata Configuration to IDE emulation. Either way, the RC should now find your Windows installation.
But you cannot use the other bootcfg commands to build a boot.ini, because your RC is running from a USB stick. In any boot.ini that you build or add an entry to, rdisk() will be set to rdisk(1). And if your Windows is on rdisk(0) as most are, it just won't work. And you cannot edit the boot.ini in-place with RC. Neat, huh?
What you can do, though, is get a copy of your boot.ini :
First, you must find what drive letters the RC has allocated. To do that, use the command...
MAP - you should be able to recognise your stick letter. If a Windows was found, it will be C:, if not then your stick RC will be C:
Lets say your stick is E: Then this will give you a copy of your file...
COPY c:\boot.ini E:\realboot.ini
Or you can scribble it down if it won't copy....
TYPE c:\boot.ini
Right. Back to your working sys with that stick, edit that realboot.ini file [or make one with notepad from your scribble] so that you delete the parameter "/SAFEBOOT....." from the line on which it appears.
Save it to your USB stick as realboot.ini
It may look something like this...
[boot loader]
timeout=4
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect

Restart the failed sys with the RC USB stick [and use F6 floppy if Sata and you did not emulate IDE ]. Now...
COPY e:\realboot.ini c:\boot.ini
EXIT, and it ought to boot normally. Edit the BIOS entry back to AHCI or RAID if you changed it.
Of course, you know now that malware has busted your Safeboot key in registry, don't you? So that needs fixing.... post if you need help on that.

Laptop stalls on startup

GWats — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 03:37:06 GMT

My daughter just received a refurbished laptop from the grandparents as a birthday gift. It worked fine for a few days but now it won't go very far during startup. It's a Compac Presario V2000 and I can't even tell what the OS is or any other details. The startup screen shows 5 lines and just repeats over and over. There is also an unnerving rather prominent clicking noise that persists as it rolls through the attempted startup. Below are the five lines.

Intel UNDI, PXE-2.0 (build 082)

Is there something I can do?

XP SP3 not using second core

Edgeman — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 03:27:24 GMT

I have a machine with XP Pro SP3, on an Asus P5L...something board and an Intel E5200 dual core CPU.
The BIOS shows both cores, and windows shows both cores in device manager, but not in Task Manager.
See screenshot: http://edgebox.ca/singlecore.PNG
From what I've googled, it seems to be a problem with the HAL ACPI thing, needs to be a multiprocessor one, but I don't know how to switch it?

Windows 7 vulnerable to 8 out of 10 viruses

Can't find a boot device.

Andrew Wiggin — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 22:38:22 GMT

I ran a repair install on windows XP. Then I encountered this phenomena:
computer fails to boot: can't find a boot device.
BUT, if there is a windows xp disk in the CD drive, then it will boot windows as long as i don't press any key to boot from CD.

The boot.ini file looks fine. The recovery console commands fixmbr and fixboot did not solve the problem. Running another repair install with SP3 (first time was with SP2) also didn't fix the problem.

Whatever command the BIOS uses to launch the OS isn't working, but whatever command the windows CD is using does work. Any idea how to fix this?

computer wont start

khamush — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 19:54:23 GMT

Hi guys out there,
Today when i came home, i found out the pc is not starting. the power goes on, all fans work, cd drive works, but monitor keeps blinking and no display, I've changed monitor, but no help
my machine is an acer 2.4 gh inter core 2, 3gb ram.
i have to add that i have not touched the pc at all, some times back, computer used to power itself off and show me a blue screen before it restared,
I also had had some blank screen events like i have now before, but they were fixed when i removed and pluged the monitor cable from and to pc.
but this time it seems serious.
Any Idea?
