the trick with slaving is that you need a second PC. you take your hard drive out of your PC and plug it into someone else's - then you can access it as if it was just another file on their PC. there...

AHH... You are running SP1 I bet. update windows to sp3 (via windows update). maybe it needs .net framework 3, to work - and is not sayng so. download and install that while you are at it.

looking back, yes, that is how it seems. I did mean to reply to that post. but I didn't realise how badly we poached the thread.

hotmatrixx

have you tried:

boot from D:
start-accessories-system tools
system Restore
restore to an earlier time
?

i know you have looked at it, but have you used it?

do you get pink, too? Download a trial version of either aston or window blinds by star dock. Install and run it. Does that fix? Tip: find and install a 3rd party un install utility first. Plenty of...

if your d hp a alone of c then it would have a copy of the pst file for out look. Try opening out look after booting into d. If you find your emails then you could clone it back to c

After instaling SP2?
try this:

I stand as an observer only - I say that FF3 is fine, because from my standpoint it is.

I am not discounting any opinion to the contrary. If there have been issues, then OK, I believe you, and I...

OK. I bet if you play a DVD movie in full screen you get the same issue. Try it and see. It is because you don't have the VGA drivers installed. I bet that the screen is jerky when you scroll down,...

i've had zero issues with it. Opera has ads doesnt it? Unless you pay? Chrome has issues. Crashes all the time. No skins no plug ins. What version of ff are you running? What add ons? They could be...

That's a good point. I used to have issues with speed on DW but not anymore. I also have recently started doing it at 3am when our main, singular international exchange is unused.

He didn't use the F8 key. it was just defaulting to the normal menu. the F8 will bring up more options.

If I am wrong then I owe you a rep point.

(What are those for, any way? PM me on that)

yea and the only way to beat it is to join it.... back to vista.
unless you have an XP recovery image from Toshiba. that will work better than the downgrade because all the drivers are preloaded.

just because you have a 4M connection, it does not mean that you are downloading at 4m. it is the max that your ISP will allow you. go to www.speedtest.net at any given time. click a pyramyd and wait...

once you have done that, while in safe mode go
start-control panel-add/remove programs
and uninstall adobe air. you dont need it and it has caused only trouble on 3 of the 4 pcs' I own.

I have had the same problem, that is exactly what it is. the problem was that the Mixer had been deleted somehow and I could not fix it. I had to uninstall the base codecs and reinstall. (only...
