Being a technical support for Toshiba Notebooks, one problem with downgrading a notebook from vista to xp is where to get the drivers or even if there are any for the devices on your notebook. Just...

are you using a notebook or a desktop?

If it's a desktop, try plugging in the keyboard to another computer and try it again to see if it's the keyboard that's screwed up.

If it's a notebook,...

you might wanna try and disable any anti-virus if you have any installed just for troubleshooting sake. Try to open a safe website such www.google.com to see if it works. I think I remember...

i've been using firefox for quite a while now. before firefox was created, I use netscape and Opera. I only use IE whenever there are some sites that require them but I use firefox most of the time.

You might wanna try to reset the IE settings. To do this, just go to Internet Options on control panel and under the Advanced tab, it will be the button that says Reset. This will remove all of the...

I don't suppose there should be any problems making your computer dual-boot. I haven't tried it myself with Vista but have tried it with other Operating Systems. You just need to make sure that the...

Some things to do when trying to extend your monitor or just simply clone your desktop onto an external TV using an S-Video cable.


Make sure that the cable you're using is not defective....

Laser's correct... you'll need to have a TV Tuner card or any USB TV tuners to be able to watch TV on your computer. I have one at home myself and I only use it to transfer videos from my camcorder...

Good news to each and everyone that are actually having problems, have had problems or simply just needs help with Windows Vista Service Pack 1. Microsoft is offering Free unlimited installation and...

I'm sure most of the hardware manufacturers do have driver support available for download from their websites, not all of them though...

ahh, great to have a warm welcome.. :) i need a lot of catching up to do... the site looks totally different.. i'm kinda bit lost.. LOL

There shouldn't be any problem installing windows 98 on a pentium 4 PC. not unless you've tried and have encountered problems, in that case, you'll need to elaborate more on the problem encountered.

Dear all,


I've been an active poster and a moderator of Daniweb. I have been AWOL for quite some time now and is very for being so. I have decided that I need this site to continually...

That is definitely a dead motherboard. I think i've experienced that once or twice...

HUH?

I do the same thing as Dtone's. I just copy the .pst file from my old Outlook. But what I do is just set up a new folder for my .pst file and just open it from outlook --> File -> Open -> Outlook...

- You may be having lots of stuff that loads on startup, check what you have loaded whenever you start up. If you find applications that are not really necessary, get rid of them.
- Check your...

Quan Chi2, Daniweb forums does not encourage/allow software piracy. Please refrain from giving such comments.

well, it can also be a compliment in a way.. just depends on how you take it though...

I suggest you post a HJT log in the Viruses, Spyware & other Nasties (forum64.html) forum. You might've left some more virus/trojan behind.

How do you you adjust the hue/brightness? do you use the video card utility or WMP's? Does it happen to all video formats and players? what WMP version do you have?

This thread has been reposted to the proper forum and is now closed.

just reboot off the XP CD, it should do all the dirty work for you (installing & formatting and all...) Prolly just a faulty installation...

Just boot from the CD, delete the existing partition, install on it.. it should re-format disk and install automatically. If you don't have the XP CD, then you have a problem... I suggest you get a...

How many applications do you have running?

I tried re-installing over an existing win98 before and all it did was carry over the same problems that it had before.

You can also try checking out the Viruses, Spyware & other Nasties...

Here's my 2 cent take on WinME:

I've installed/used windows ME for quite a time and made comparisons with other windows versions. It's more like a windows 98 with the XP feel. It seemed to me...

The only way that I can think of to make anything computer-related secure is not to use it. case-in-point: everything has a bug/loophole/exploit, it's just a matter of choosing the one that's less...

From the Control Panel, double click on add/remove programs, click on the 'Windows Setup' tab and tick the check box games from the components to be installed/uninstalled and click ok.

well, one is eight and the other is six... they use it mostly for yahoogames...

That's the point... Since it's very much agreed that common sense is never common, not everybody reads what pops-up their browsers and not everybody is as computer literate as most of us. Using IE6...

I agree!!! eversince the appearance of all these spywares/adwares/trojans, I started thinking about why a web browser should be embedded to an OS. Firstly, the internet is more comparable to "Open...

oops, my mistake... sorry bout that catweazl... was very sleepy last night.. :) it was 1o0oBhP (member.php?u=24039). :)

I've encountered that problem before, the only thing is, I know where the keys are supposed to be. It's the keyboard most of the times... the @ sign is shift-2 and the # is shift-3 and so on... but...

If you happen to have all the installation CDs for the applications you have I'd suggest a fresh install of the system. This is so because upgrades usually carry their previous problems to the new...

I never really used this database thingie, now I have to learn it in 2 days while making a database that's more like an ERP software... wish me luck...

I never really learned how to use this thing... I'll try and post as many things here as possible so I can at least learn what this thing is for... :P

might be having a seizure... :mrgreen:

well, this depends on the contract agreement... but i'm pretty sure that all data that comes in and out of your internet connection is properly monitored. From where I come from, we have prepaid...
