As has been pointed out, it is indeed opened with last tool utilised.

Been back into Alkaline Trio of late - esp, "Crimson", "Remains" and "Agony and Irony".

Over here is exam period for all the Uni students, so a dent there in free time for them.

Nice, but in that format, wouldn't that algorithm need to be applied an a row-by-row basis? Can the current "D5" be adapted using a wildcard, so that the entire column could be formatted with the...

In regards to drivers point, keep in mind that as of XP, CD/DVD drives were generally of a "plug 'n' play" nature; ie, no extra drivers required. Also, although an alternative app might sound like a...

Maybe so, but the Disk Imaging tech built into Win7 (most commonly encountered in Sys Restore) is much better than when first rolled out in Vista, meaning very easy to roll back OS if a problematic...

Although lasers do occasionally die, is more often two lesser issues:

laser/lens needs cleaning - plenty of disc-reader cleaning kits available for that one
Laser can also become misaligned -...

Don't get me wrong... I actually really liked Vista. Win7 however will give you much more bang for your buck - much lighter, more intuitive, cleaner by far. As for cost, look on line for OEM copies...

Might be worth investigating exactly what DVD-R's are actually supported by your disc reader/player, as many models do not support all formats. For instance, my old Sat Pro supported DVD-R DVD-R- and...

Clean installs are usually the better option - much easier to troubleshoot, for example in the case of a dodgy driver, or a software incompatibility. A pain I know, is a cleaner way to go about...

LOL - you mean other than that disaster called "OneCare"? The newer offering seems to be getting better reviews (quite good reviews it seems), but still not sure I'd be ready to put my faith in it...

Try learning to read.... might spare you the confusion in future!

I love how the self-confessed crippled geriatric adores taking ppl's post completely out ppl's context... about as mature as this drive-by sniping, accompanied by the whole "I'm not talking to you"...

HUH? WTF are you on about? The post you are referring to (apart from being unrelated to this thread) was a disagreement over semantics and nothing more... which was brought up in the actual thread in...

Huh? Care to enlighten the rest of us pagans?

In his mind, probably everything :D

Valid point jbennet, but might be worth pointing out a couple of points:

Many turn to a "mates" copy of XP when their system fries (as well as their serial), not realising that the serial stuck...

Again "Bob", if you can't do anything other than preach over an irrelevant issue, then why bother posting. All he wants is help trying to track down the appropriate drivers for his PC's hardware!
...

Well boo-hoo to you!! There are a number of DaniWeb members who know what it is like to like with with chronic pain (myself included) or severe disabilities, and yes, most of us have had our moments...

Oh pleeease, you're not preaching again are you "Bob"?? Whether or not the OP is or isn't running a legit copy of XP is utterly and entirely beside the point. He's not asking for a means of bypassing...

Hang on a minute - since when did moderators get to sleep on the job?? Thought the mandatory diet for Mods was coffee and vitamin "V (http://www.v-energydrink.com/index.aspx)"

[quote=scru;1042719] (in reference to Rep comment). Yes am aware ppl are entitled to their opinion, but was not the point I was making. This is post gauging ppl's opinions/experience btwn XP & Win7....

Not an expert in Excel, but still have to admit you may not actually be able to achieve what you are after, by the means you are trying to achieve. Let me explain.

To achieve your ends, you would...

Alright, enough of the back-slapping guys and back to work.... you got a site to run you know :D

And the other 44 facts would be??

If you actually want a pleasant Windows experience, here's some advice.... don't install it on a Mac! Always found it suspicious how Windows (especially Win7) is able to run very well even on an old...

Would highly recommend Comodo's (http://personalfirewall.comodo.com/) free offering. Sys defence a little whiny tho, so usually disable that part after install and just run the AV and Firewall...

I like the way you constantly refer to "replies" made by other people, yet never with any evidence to said replies. Note also that in this case, whereas Microsoft is the owner, and both Bill Gate or...

Have a look HERE (http://support.creative.com/Products/Products.aspx?catid=1) Creative's own support site (ie, their own location for driver downloads) and you tell me where you see a single "Audigy"...

Could be as simple as a corrupted FF profile.

Close FF (use TaskManager to be sure the process is killed). Open Run console and type Firefox.exe -p and set-up a new profile. If things work in new...

Do you have some idea when the issues first occurred, or any changes made around that time? Sounds like you've rolled back the last XP service pack, so unlikely to be that. Have you recently...

Keep in mind that if it is either a USB port issue, or a driver-support issue, that neither would likely show up if the mouse is inactive after plugging in. If HW-based, no mouse-movement would send...

Again "Bob", you might want to do a little more research on AV erros, in particular in relation to false positives; as well as general application errors and high resource usage. In some cases, the...

Actually "Bob", you might want to do your research on AV's and false positives. The sad fact is that certain AV's (namely Norton and AVG in particular) have a rather bad reputation of falsely...

Actually "Bob", while Telstra's Bigpond is pretty-much the most over-priced and over-rated IP in the entire country, Optus really isn't that much better. Also, you don't even live in Australia, so...

Hmmmm...... the drivers they supply in the realm of backwards-compatibility are usually buggy as all hell, and are well known for this. Trust me, as one who has long used their hardware (as an...

It is not a case of being "to advanced for XP". It is a case of many recent components not being supported for XP... ie, manufacturers/designers not providing any XP-based drivers for their wares....

Well given the questionable quality of your usual "advice" offerings, you might want to pull your head in. There is actually some merit to his line of thought....

The OP has listed having 4GB of...

Ummmm..... you might want to learn to read before handing out your "advice" mate. The site you link to is XP based when the OP clearly stated they are using VISTA! Also, any system protected...

Here's an idea.... shell out a few bob and get a real version of Vista (ie, not the bare-bones, highly gimped SKU you are using). The reality is, you get what you pay for. Besides, any advice as to...
