Hi All,

Usually able to deal with PC monsters but this one has me all but beat. It's a Dell Inspiron 1525 for a colleague with 32bit Vista on it, SP1 only (SP2 wouldn't install but after a lot of...

The reply before you implies that the poster has personally used that software before.

I have used EASEUS Data Recovery Wizard (http://www.easeus.com/datarecoverywizard/download.htm) and I find it...

Firstly, you all are thread-hopping, so I'm not surprised that no long-term member has replied to your messages.

Secondly, no one seems to have taken any of the advice posted in one of the first...

Lol :icon_biggrin:

Mate, I had exactly the same symptoms you've got, turned out to be Conficker. I got rid of it with a combination of the Windows Malicious Software Removal tool...

Oh ok, do you know/did he tell you what he did to it, just out of interest?

Dried Pineapple, first time I had it, pretty nice!

Hi thomas, is this solved now?

Hi, and welcome to Daniweb :)
Start up a new thread of ur own, (can have a similar title to this one), post ur machine's specs and ur symptoms. You have a better chance of getting help that way,...

Bud, look at this Microsoft Knowledge Base Article (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307545), looks like it could be useful to you.
It basically suggests some system file and registry editing to sort...

Well done mate

Sounds like your mobo just can't handle the xtra RAM my friend. Have u checked the version online for any updates, or indeed restrictions? To fully eliminiate RAM, can u send it back and get...

Nice one for sussing that out, well done.

Hi Roshan, and welcome to Daniweb.

A few housekeeping points first of all

1. Do try to resist the temptation to piggy-back on another thread here, you stand a better chance of getting helped if...

In case anyone was wondering, the issue here turned out to be that I had a case of the Conficker. Strain A to be exact. Anyway a combination of the Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool and McAffee...

No sorry mate, too far away, not worth it

How is this even possible? Some clever piece of DNA that splits itself between 50% of the population?! What does Asparagus even smell like?!

Lol, how embarassing. Turns out it wasn't just random server downtime going on, I was in actual fact confickered. The Win32/Conficker.B strain to be precise. I couldn't browse any PC security,...

Yea thanks, I honestly didn't think it was a problem on my end or I wouldn't have posted in Geeks Lounge

I'm not even joking, it's not working for me - not on IE, not on Firefox, not gonna bother trying on Chrome. I can't even ping it! Malware??

Well it's either this, or the domain name has been removed from the routing table. Or my Firefox is just being very biased about my browsing experience!:) Go on, try it out now...

It's a shame that there is no universal button to increase the intelligence on TV. You can try the increasing "Brightness" setting, but it doesn't do anything.

[paraphrased from Anon]

How come? I mean did he just wake up one morning, rub the sleep from his eyes, and go "Huh?! What's this then??" :D

Thanks mate, I'll check it out

My bad, I should have said:

I've got a PCI card, which is a Netgear MA311, and I've got a USB adapter, which is a Netgear Rangemax WPN111.



Tell me more about this NDISwrapper pls

Hahaha, well done mate.

Easy when you know how eh? :icon_cheesygrin:

Is it me or is it easier to configure a home network in XP than to setup a wireless adapter in Debian??? I've read through various online resources about iwconfig, ifconfig, linux_wan, orinoco but I...

Mate, I ain't no expert but here:

Please download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (MBA-M) (http://www.majorgeeks.com/Malwarebytes_Anti-Malware_d5756.html) to your Desktop.

Rename it to something...

Had my first ever Calippo Ice lolly yesterday. It was a Strawberry/Tropical flavoured one. What can I say, the Sun was high in the sky, clouds were dispersed, and I felt weird. The lolly was...

The internet was rebooted yesterday. Read on here (http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/2009/04/01/internet-reboot-today/).

I've been thinking about it, and I can't work it out. Pray tell, what be the answer?

Okay this is the last link (http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/04/01/april-fools-youtube-flails-amazon-cloud-computing-in-a-blimp-3d-chrome-browsing-google-master-ai/) I promise! Some of it is actually...

Here (http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/organgrinder/2009/apr/01/newspapers-dailymail)'s a round-up of some (not all i believe) of the AFD 09 gags. Whaddya think, which one was your favourite, and...

Lol. "the iPlayer Toaster Edition can optionally burn the iPlayer play button logo into the toast using our new HD (High Darkness) rendering mode". Very good indeed

What was the BBC one?

Check the video page here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bu9TsJlcvzc&flip=1). Now I'm not big on web programming but u'll notice the "flip" variable in the URL.

And then in the blue bar on the...

Oh no no no, the video actually played - UPSIDE DOWN! That's what made it convincing! And then it was suggested to turn your head to one side to get the best viewing pleasure!!

Hahaha, very funny indeed. My favourite one is the YouTube upside down vide & page layout. Even the text is backwards. I literally thought I had messed up my browser setting somewhat!!

Unbelievable! I didn't know IBM had that much money to spend!! :-p
