hahahaha .... congrats Ryan. Hey Dan the man - Danny-Boy !! ;)

Can you login via safe mode? I forgot what command it is... do a search on the forums. But there is some F key you can press when Windows starts to load and it will load in safe mode. So the Compaq screen comes on and just never goes away?

First step is to right click on My Computer on your desktop and then click on Properties. It should tell the Mhz/Ghz of your machine in addition to how much RAM you have.

Sorry, I have no experience at all with that. :( I don't even know what a debugger is. Have you checked the Microsoft Knowledge Base by any chance?

Right click on Internet Explorer on your desktop and choose Properties. When Internet Properties appears, click on the Security tab. Choose the "Internet" zone with the globe logo. Click on Default Level. Click the Apply button. Then click on the Custom Level button and make sure that ActiveX is enabled. …

Is it a USB camera? Firewire camera?

Did anything funky happen during the installation? (freezing, etc.) It's often suggested to disable antivirus software while installing something. Also, make sure you're using the latest version of your video card drivers and of DirectX. If none of that works, disable antivirus software, uninstall the game and then reinstall.

What I would do is download and install the free Win XP powertoy called TweakUI from the Microsoft website. It comes with a utility to fix incorrectly associated/missing icons for windows apps.

Doesn't anyone wanna add Mac OS to the list?

That will happen when there's a script error (i.e. a JavaScript error) on the page you're trying to view. The reason you got that here at TechTalk is because the company that serves our ads was experiencing temporary downtime, and the script was complaining because it was getting a 404 …

Gee, I never heard of this before. Are you using any Unsanity haxies by any chance?

Here's the problem. I thought I edited most of the forum style before I replaced it live. Turns out, I still have a lot more work to do. Which means no sleep for Dani tonite :( It will look completely different by morning ;) Go enjoy Christmas (or Hanukkah if …

Serial ATA is better than Parallel ATA (IDE) drives SCSI is great if you can afford it but really meant for high-performance servers

Do you run a popup blocker such as the one built into the google toolbar?

If you don't remember/know the password, you should be able to reset it by opening up the computer and toggling a jumper on the motherboard. Check out the specs of your mobo. Else, if you know the password, go into CMOS Setup by hitting Delete, Esc, F2, F7, or some …

Just as the thread subject states ... I need a robust FTP client for Panther. Should I go with CuteFTP or Transmit? Drag 'n' drop capability is a must. I'm thinkng of going with CuteFTP cuz they've been playing the ftp client game for a long time and must be …

I have a G5 with two 250 gig serial ATA drives. I want to use OS X's built-in Raid support to stripe the drives. Is the performance increase only marginal? not even noticable? Note the drives are serial ATA ... not SCSI.

Does anyone know of a robust samba browser that will let me browse my Windows shares on 10.3? Finder is too quirky for me - especially in Panther.

Fries, anyone? [url="http://msnbc.msn.com/id/3629284/"]http://msnbc.msn.com/id/3629284/[/url]

Norton AntiVirus is a great piece of software. However, I've had a LOT of problems with other programs included with Norton Internet Security - most importantly with Norton Personal Firewall.

It detects it ... so what's the problem? ;) Does it need to be configured to get an IP (for DHCP, for example) ??

What's a PC club? I've never heard of that before?? cconti, would you be able to provide links to the specs of each of the machines you're looking at along w/ their prices?

Please don't double post, thanks. People can respond here: [thread]2166[/thread]

Hardware-wise: RAM is the most important plus, it's the simplest upgrade you can perform that in some cases is just as good as a processor upgrade Software-wise: Disk defragmenter Use programs such as TweakXP or registry hacks to speed up the NTFS file system

Inside Internet Explorer, click on the Tools menu. Then click Internet Options. Under the General tab, where it shows Temporary Internet Files, click the button to delete the files.

This may also be a video card problem. Definitely check to make sure your RAM is all snug in the motherboard, as well.

Please let us know the model of the Compaq machine.

I've never heard of this virus/trojan, but it's advised to also search through the registry to find any references to it.

I've never heard of this before. Windows 98 I take it? Win 9x is a 32-bit OS which, I believe, can handle 16-bit emulation to run old DOS programs.

What version did you upgrade from? 10.2.6? Or something lower ... ?? Basically it's telling you that it can't start the bash (I think sh is bash?) shell. Have you tried going into the Disk Utility and correcting permissions for your system partition?

Considering the Internet and e-mail work, that means that your wireless connection is, indeed, working. What you need to do now is set up file sharing. To do this, you will need to know a few things about the network? Is it part of a domain? What is the name …

This is driving me just crazy! I have Adobe Acrobat Reader 5 installed and it works fine. However, whenever I open up a *.pdf file, it defaults to opening up in Apple's "Preview" application. Where could I change this setting?

Congrats. I too have my Windows XP and Panther machines talking to each other.

I'd like to apologize for the site being down the last hour to two today. There were some server difficulties. My web host needed to restart the server twice. I'm still investigating what is going wrong. - Dani

Not guilty! I always su to root whenever I absolutely need to.

Hey there. Thanks for the info. If you want even more info about using apt-get in RedHat 8, check out this thread: [thread]378[/thread]

Let's say you visit the webpage and then get all these page cannot be displayed errors. Can you still use other Internet applications or is your net connection cut off completely?

If you're dual botting, you have to install the operating systems in order of their age. For example, the first step is to partition your hard drive. Then install Windows Me on one partition. Then install Windows XP on a second partition as normal. Doing this should automatically set up …

Aww, that sucks. But it's almost Christmas break. In any case, if it makes you feel any better, I hate school too! :P

What's the difference between emacs with GTK support and xemacs? I understand they are both branches from the ol' console text editor. Which one would have better support for programming in C++, for example? (i.e. syntax color highlighting, auto indent)

My personal experience is that Norton is flaky even when disabled. In all seriousness, I have disabled Norton Internet Security / Norton Personal Firewall and it has still blocked stuff ... until I removed it from loading in the registry altogether. I haven't used the proggie since. :(

I might've missed it, gymbo, but what video card are you using? Ahh, nevermind, an Nvidida Geforce 4 Ti? Are you using the absolute latest drivers? They're not called Detonators anymore - I forget what they're called now, the 5x.xx series.

Well, you could have a regular ol' function named template. i.e. [b][i]int template(char letter)[/i][/b] or [b][i]void template()[/i][/b] or any other combination you could have for a function. There's also a C++ thingie called templates, where you would do something such as Template<T> or something along those lines. (I've never learned/used …

AMD Athlon XP's run at a slower clockrate than their model number suggests - rather, it's meant to be a comparason to Intel's processors. In any case, if you have a 2200+ then it should run at 1.8ghz, and it's perfectly fine for your computer properties to read 1.79ghz. However, …

Doesn't anyone use 9x anymore? I actually still use 98se on my 650mhz sony vaio laptop Surprised no one has posted about these OS's yet So I decided I'd be the first

As far as I know, there's no way to permanently disable IE being as it's fully integrated into the Windows Explorer. However, if Opera is set at your default browser, there's no reason that IE should be opening up via AIM, etc. Some programs aren't nice in that they don't …

Happy Turkey Day everyone!!

What proxy server is used? I guess what I'm asking is what type of login box appears? Check Internet Explorer preferences and check to remember logins and passwords.

First of all, was there enough space on the drive for a 500 mb file? Second of all, does it run flawlessly with smaller files? Are you using the latest version of Samba? Samba really wasn't meant to handle such large files. I have done it every so often, but …
