A post by tgreer gave me an idea. How about you post an original tech-related poem. Any type will do (limerick, haiku, sonnet..etc.) I'll start: Silence is broken A loud swear in frustration The blue screen of death

It depends on how you look at it. Some would say that its a good thing because some computer users who need help could simply post a question or message w/o having to become a member just for a couple posts. Others would say that this is a sight for …

Is it possible to write a program that would change my signature every time I make a post. Then you could add a bunch of quotes but it would rotate them. Is it possible??

If your Celeron is Socket 478, you should have no problem upgrading to a newer Socket 478 Pentium 4. However some (I believe the slower) Celeron's are socket 370. So double check before you buy anything.

Hold Alt+F4 and hit the U key to shutdown in Windows XP.

I would go to the Viruses, Spyware, & Nasties forum because that's where HJT logs should be posted.

You shouldn't have any compatibility issues, but technically it's not legal to install the software on more machines than you have liscences for. If you buy the student and teacher edition of office, you are given three liscences :lol: I know no legal way of obtaining a product key (aside …

You can use this [URL=http://www.jscustompcs.com/power_supply/]power supply wattage calculator[/URL]. From what you told me about your system it looks like your cutting it close.

I know that it's possible to set up Firefox so that I have two home pages that open in seperate tabs when I get on. I can't figure out how to do it though. Somebody must know.

I don't know if this will help you but I launched a big anti-crapware assault on my computer and hardly anything gets past me anymore. I would run [URL=http://www.free-av.com/]AntiVi XP[/URL]. It seems to catch some crap that VirusScan and AVG don't get. Usually then I run [URL=http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/]Ad-Aware SE[/URL], followed by …

I used Opera for awhile and thought it was faster than Firefox, but I like Firefox better because there's no ads or clutter.

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this thread. I read in an issue of Linux User & Developer about setting up your own lcd module to show system stats or even a winamp playlist. There is a program for Linux called LCDproc. I was wondering if …

All I know is that the World Wide Web Consortium technically says that there should be three backslashes after any case of file:whatever. I don't know the specifics but Unix machines used to (or still do, i dunno i'm no guru) use three backslashes, while windows platforms depended on the …

Are the CD-ROM and Hard drive on the same IDE cable?

If you disabled the popup blocker and are still having trouble, perhaps your firewall is blocking access to Yahoo! Mail. You may need to open some ports. Or maybe its time for Firefox?

A virus is definitely a possibility, but dont rule out a hardware problem. Random reboots are often caused by a bad power source or an overheated processor. Check and make sure the processor's heatsink is situated properly and that thermal grease is applied to the cpu.
