I suppose it's worth mentioning that some modern systems have "restore partitions" instead of rescue CDs. I don't know if that's the case but it may be worth looking into.

I don't know of a way inside windows to keep it from starting without having to disable it before shutting down. You can check with the settings of your firewall, it may let you lock-down by default...

There's no one degree that employers want, it depends on the job and the employer. You need to look at what it is you really want to do and research what the best degree for that path is, if you're...

1. I'm not 100% on the GPA but it seems that you could probably leave it out as long as you have it available to provide. I don't think there's any particular reason though as it's only an extra six...

You'd need to legally aquire the windows disk to do it that way, what I'd suggest is using Clonezilla (http://clonezilla.org/) or to create an image of the system that you can use to restore down the...

You didn't mention any good experience or education in programming, if you have that background it's something to consider but I'm under the impression that programming is the focus where employers...

An associates degree doesn't count for much with employers in most markets but it you use it as the first two years of a bachelors degree there's no problem. The accreditation of the university you...

Find the folder where your quickbooks data files are stored and copy them to the computer you're using to browse. Restoring them to quickbooks is really pretty simple, just put them back on the...

I'm considering new strategies to recruit clients for my Network services and IT consulting business. I've made a list of target businesses in my, relatively small, market and I had planned to send...

Do you mean OEM disk? And what exactly is it you need this disk for, we'd be happy to help you find a solution here but we need more information about your goals.

Just disable the connection when you're not using it by going to "network connections" right click on the relevant connection, and select "disable". Then select "enable" when you want to use it...

The reputation system at Daniweb is pretty casual, Give points for any post you feel is thoughtful and informative enough to deserve it. You'll never get penalized for being too giving of it, the...

I think I know what I have to do, I'm just a little stuck on finding the code to do it. I think it needs to be something like this:

Double check the jumper configuration, I've done this with dozens of SATA-II drives and it's always worked. You might also want to check the cables and ports incase that's the problem because a...

The problem is that, in my experience in input forms, you have to designate which PHP component it will use in the "form action" field, but I'm using two different PHP actions.

Maybe there's a way...

If it turns out not to be a matter of infection, or if after the infections are removed you still can't access the desktop a repair install of windows will probably be in line.

I like Avast for anti-virus and Zonealarm for Firewall, but lately I've been using Comodos security suite. It's free and from everything I've read (and seen) Comodos firewall is on par or better than...

You really need to be more clear on this question, I'm assuming you mean to upgrade from XP to vista but the way you worded it could just as easily mean installing Vista in a virtual environment...

I'm putting together a VERY simple time tracking widget to embed into my companies homepage. It's going to be broken down by individual offices and I'm formatting it as a drop-down box with no more...

This morning I finished setting up my multi-boot system (XP/Kubuntu/Win7) and had an interesting idea... What if I mount my boot partitions as virtual machines so I can access them while loaded in...

Re read my last post, I said that Home and Home Premium don't have downgrade rigths, Ultimate does, and didn't mention business because we were talking about residential systems, but I'm aware it...

I'm well aware home and home premium don't come with a downgrade, but Ultimate is considered a residential version and if you go to many OEMs (I checked with Dell) you can still go to home systems...

Just to point out, residental branded systems CAN get XP through the downgrade, many systems come with it installed so you have an upgrade path to Vista. I personally think this is the best solution...

There's something wrong with their forums, it just doesn't update activity dates right. It says everybodies last activity was their join date, but if you look at the threads some are more recent. BUT...

Mute the speakers just to make sure that's not where it's coming from, if it's coming from the smaller system speakers then email dells tech support and see if they have a suggestion. It can't hurt.

Maybe it's the same person, maybe it's a bot, maybe it's a coincidence. People usually post most actively in a forum right after they join (and abusive accounts are short lived and quickly replaced),...

If it's the same one, and you trust the retailer where you originally found it, you may as well get it there and save a few bucks. If you're not sure newegg is about as reputable as it comes.

Ironically, this post was copied as well. The user who submitted this seems to have stolen most, if not all, of her posts from Daniweb. Even community introductions.

I sent a complaint to the site...

It depends a lot on what you mean when you say "make movies". If you're talking windows movie maker and clips of your kids birthday parties you'll be fine with about anything, but more serious video...

IE 8 is brand new, some sites are bound to have problems with compatibility. If it's causing problems on sites that are critical to you I hope you can downgrade to version 7 and sit it out, but if...

MSN isn't dependent on an IP address because the Microsoft has a server directing traffic. There are other scenarios and protocols where this isn't the case. If you connect directly to the other...

It could be a lot of things, but, if it's the only site you can't get to the site is probably down.

Are you plugged directly into a modem? If you're not going through a router most modems need to be reset before you can hook a new device up to it (perhaps you accidentally reset the modem when...

I doubt you'll find the battery life, I couldn't even find a model number so I dont think you'll find info about it anywhere else.

IT could be from the system speaker, are your sound drivers installed?

You said you think it's windows update, but do you have any evidence windows did an update?

You should be careful with automatic updates on a server, only security updates if anything, and doing...

Wow, I completely forgot to check which forum this was in. Thanks for a good Perl answer Jephthah.

I've actually gotten to the point of using IE to handle flash content...

BIOS is the underlying settings that tell your system what to do before the operating system loads. It handles hardware settings, boot priorities, fan settings, controlling integrated components,...

This is a REALLY vague question. You could be talking about hotkeys, shortcuts, key commands, specialized shortcut keys on keyboards or mice... The information that's been offered is good, but if...
