 | One of the best freeware anti-virus programs is AVG Anti-Virus. They have a free edition which is just as good as their commercial one, the only difference is that the free one has less options, but it uses the same anti-virus technology ;) Here is where to get it: [url]http://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php/doc/1/[/url] …  |
| | Hello :) I have several hundred RAR archives that I want to extract, but they each have a password which means I can't just select all of them and extract them at the same time, because it will ask me for the password for each archive - this is pretty … |
| | Yesterday I started experiencing a very irritating problem on my Windows 7 Enterprise x64 machine. Somehow, and I don't know how, I've lost permission to download .exe files to my Desktop (if I create a new folder on the Desktop I can successfully download into that). I've tried using both … |

| | Can anyone recommend a game/games that are similar in style to games such as Grand Theft Auto? I love games that allow you to roam around entire cities/maps without being restricted to any kind of "linear" storyline etc. The only other games I've come across that resemble this style are …  |
| | I'm not sure what's causing the problem, but I have a few tips which might help: Uninstall every codec/codec pack you have at the minute. Use a registry cleaner to remove all traces of previously installed codecs (this is important). I recommend RegCleaner (I attached this file to another post … |

| | Windows 7 Enterprise x64 Windows Media Player 12.0.7600.16667 I use Windows Media Player to stream videos to my PS3, and in order to do so I have to add videos to the Videos library in Windows Media Player. This works fine most of the time, but sometimes the video I … |

 | I don't think you need a boot disk for XP - you just boot the computer with the XP CD in the drive, and it should ask you if you want to boot from the CD (it should say something like "Press any key to boot from CD..."). After that, …  |

| | On the last level (if memory serves) you have to drag one of the brothers into the area with the pads on the floor, and then use his head (i.e. the barcode) to open the door. When you drag a brother in you should see an option for it somewhere …  |
| | I've been using WinRAR for as long as I can remember, because when I checked up on it at the time it was the best tool available as far as compression was concerned. Is this still the case? Is there now an alternative that can squash files into even smaller …  |
| | For some unknown reason my DVD-RW drive is now invisible in My Computer, and the Device Manager tells me that the drivers are either corrupted or damaged. I have searched for about the last 30 minutes looking for the drivers I need, but I can't frickin' find 'em! lol Here … |

| | I recently got myself a few old games that I wanted to play but they don't seem to like XP. I get errors about DOS and such, and I know that XP doesn't support DOS, but is there some sort of "emulator" or something that I can get so I … |
| | I use Windows XP SP1, and my system runs into problems when I am disconnected from the net. The connection tray freezes every single time, and the tray icon of the two computer screens which flash blue when transferring data doesn't disappear as they usually would when a system disconnects, …  |
| | I'm currently stuck at a particular part of this game. The problem is, I know exactly what I have to do to solve the puzzle, but there's a bug in the game which prevents me from doing it! Here's where I am stuck: I'm in a wine cellar, and there … |
| | I'm not sure if this sort of thread is appropriate here, and if it isn't I apologise in advance :) I'm hoping someone can advise me about this case before I buy it, because I can't find adequate answers elsewhere. 1. Does this case include the required fan bracket on …  |

| | Dear awesome IT chaps/chappettes, My brother has an iPhone (of the 3G variety, if that matters) and is currently having trouble accessing his Windows Live Hotmail account in the same manner as he can access the likes of Gmail, Yahoo!, Microsoft Exchange, and so on. Basically, he wants to be … |
 | Yeah, its really annoying that Windows Update requires those services. Here's what to do: Click Start > Run... then type services.msc into the box, and click OK. The services window should now be open. Look down the list, and find Automatic Updates. Right-click on it, select properties, and then set … |
| | Somehow the fonts for my system have been changed. Everything looks either bold or italic, and the font itself looks like it's a different font family altogether. I'm not sure how this happened, but it's quite annoying. The problem is system-wide, in that Windows itself, my browser and apps all …  |
| | I'm using Windows Vista Ultimate SP1 x64, and I'm currently using the latest display drivers for my nVidia 8800GTX. Playing games is now impossible. Every game I play causes my monitor to switch itself off for a few seconds, and when it powers back on the game will either continue …  |
| | Is it possible to retrieve the original "File Created" date from a file when the date has been changed due to copying from one system to another? I understand there are ways of preserving the dates if steps are taken [i]before[/i] the copying, but is there anything that can be … |
| | My external Western Digital Elements 500GB USB drive occasionally sets itself to "Write Protected" and I can't alter any of the files on the drive until I reboot and the write protection is reset. This usually happens after a day or so, and rebooting is the only way of unlocking … |
| | Dear awesome IT blokes/blokettes, Today a rather curious problem has started occurring on my Windows Vista Ultimate SP1 x64 system; when I right-click on any disc image (be it .ISO, .NRG, etc) there's a brief moment when the mouse cursor changes to an egg timer, and then I get this … |
| | I just started using this operating system, and I've found that certain files (seemingly only exe files) cannot be deleted from the Desktop. I get the following error: "The action can't be completed because the file is open in another program" "Close the file and try again". The file isn't … |
| | I recently followed a guide to incorporate Service Pack 1 into my Windows XP Professional installation disc, a process the guide refered to as "Slipstreaming". After doing this I wondered wether or not I could do the same thing with other programs, such as my Anti-virus and Firewall software. I've … |
| | My external hard drive has been acting very strangely for the past few days, and I can't figure out what the problem is. The drive disappears intermittently from my system, then reappears as an "unformatted" drive, which is inaccessible via My Computer and recovery tools. If I unplug the drive's …  |
| | I'm looking for some sort of application that will backup my Internet Explorer 7 settings, including add-ons, much in the same way as MozBackup does for Mozilla Firefox. I've found several programs that will backup my auto-complete information, security settings and bookmarks, but none that support add-ons and [i]their[/i] settings. … |
| | I think if you are using a Hotmail address you automatically get registered with a Passport account (which is necessary for using MSN Messenger), but if you use an email address which [i]isn't[/i] from MS (such as Gmail) you have to register for a Passport account manually. I might be …  |
| | I have a system in mind, and it's almost ready to go, except for one thing - the power supply! I've been told that my rig will need a fair amount of juice, and that I need to be careful which PSU I buy. The first thing I was going … |
| | I also have a lot of MP3s (all legal, of course :P) and I found a nice little program which lets you alter the tags of multiple MP3s at the same time. It's free, and can be found here: [url=http://massid3lib.sourceforge.net/]MP3 Tag Tools[/url] Be careful though, I've had a few accidents … |
| | Re: Win32/Vxidl Here are a few apps that may help - all free: [url=http://www.download.com/Spybot-Search-Destroy/3000-8022-10122137.html?part=dl-spybot&subj=dl]SpyBot: Search & Destroy[/url] [url=http://www.spywareterminator.com/]Spyware Terminator[/url] [Includes real-time protection] [url=http://ad-aware.en.softonic.com/]Ad-Aware (Free)[/url] Hopefully one of those programs will do the trick.

| | I'm looking for a program that will prevent certain keywords/numbers from being transmitted to websites (preferably websites I can define in the options, along with a white list for exempt websites if possible) by detecting when such info is typed by the user, and perhaps displaying an alert to the …  |
| | I'm not sure if this is in the right place; if not, many apologies. I've been trying to configure an optimal MTU setting for my system and my router, as instructed by the following website: [url]http://help.expedient.com/broadband/mtu_ping_test.shtml[/url] When I run the test outlined there, I get inconsistent results. For instance, when … |
| | Apologies if this is posted in the wrong place. I run a forum, and I'm using my host's SMTP settings for the mail. However, 90% of the emails sent via the forum (be they new users signing up, or topic reply notifications) take literally hours to arrive at their destination. …  |
| | When I have Adblock Plus enabled, the main body of the posts on DaniWeb doesn't show. When I disable Adblock, they appear. I've searched through my ad-filters for everything relating to "daniweb.com" and removed them, but it still blocks the body of the posts on the site. I've also tried … |
| | I have a wired ADSL router with 2 computers connected through it. Both systems can access the internet and can otherwise act independently without any problems. The only thing that we can't seem to figure out is how to connect directly from one PC to the other for the purposes …  |
| | I'm having trouble with sending and receiving messages using MSN Messenger. Some messages arrive at their destination, while others don't. I'm assuming this problem is related to the fact that I've recently started using a router, because I never had the problem before. Are there ports that need forwarding or … |
