Sorry, friend. Demonoid is, like it or not, primarily dedicated to piracy. It's against forum rules to discuss that site's goings-on here.

We've already got a word association game going on, feel free to participate in it here in the Geek's Lounge. My personal opinion is that these posts are a waste of space, but others seem to like them. However, we should keep these things to a minimum.

Sure! IT people do it all the time! If you can get ahold of a CD, simply copy the contents of the i386 folder to an already-formatted FAT32 hard drive. Then, you can boot to a floppy to begin the installation. You can run the command [b]x:\i386\winnt32.exe[/b] to begin the …

Personally, I'd just backup my data, and do a clean install of XP. I've heard of success stories with upgrades, but then I've heard of failures, too. It's almost always advisable just to reformat and reinstall if you're changing OSes.

[QUOTE=hexonflux]dlh6213 You have said that more then once man. The guy needs you to answer it in that Box. Not give him links. Look man. The computer's Boot files are obvisly Infected with a virus. Goto Setup (press Del when starting up) and setup to boot from a Disk. Then …

Tried another player, per chance?

Are you connected to an Exchange server? It might be a dumb question, I know, but that feature is designed to work with an Exchange server. If you're connecting to an SMTP server, you won't be able to use it.

[QUOTE=cashondeb]HELP! My bosses want me to install virtual pc on her computer, but when I do, it asks me to install an operating system....otherwise comes up with a black box and asks for a drive or c drive, which does not work. HELP![/QUOTE] This isn't the appropriate forum for your …

The /s switch is unavailable in Windows XP. In DOS, it stood for "system", basically it added DOS bootfiles onto the disk, making it a bootable floppy. If I recall correctly, I ran this bootdisc once. The trick to getting any setup like this going is to have each needed …

You will more than likely need a driver for your system. Check this site out: [url=http://www.speedtouchdsl.com/support.htm]SpeedTouch DSL modem drivers[/url] But, I would consider Christian's suggestion of simply running off of the Ethernet port. USB interfaces can be somewhat "wonky", and prone to unpredictable failures. At least, that's been my experience.

[url]http://www.hyperion.com/company/contact/salesrep.cfm[/url] Looks like you have to contact them for pricing information. I'll bet that they can work out a package deal for you, depending on the type of setup you're running.

[b]bash[/b] is a shell under Linux. Linux is, of course, an operating system. Basically, it's a good idea to design an operating system in Linux because you have all of the tools available for free to use. Bash would just be the command-prompt interface that they use for this example. …

[QUOTE=slowpoke]Go to StartMenu->Run; when the prompt comes up type: msconfig then click OK. The System configuration utility will come up.

Good advice, Barnamos! I say, throw it in and see what happens! The worst that could happen (assuming you've backed your data up) is that you'd run into a problem, and have to ask us another question...

Check this list out: [url]http://linux.tucows.com/image_viewers_default.html[/url] Some of those are labelled "console" in that list, courtesy of Google.

I thought that NCQ was an Intel-only thing for now...

Can you not just save things to the 250GB drive from now on? That's what it's there for, isn't it?

In order to give you a good answer, we'd need to know more about your system. The fact you're running Windows ME doesn't really tell us anything in this case. If you could find out what the model of your system is, maybe with a label on the back, you …

It sounds like a Westel gateway of some sort. They usually act as NAT routers for the DSL connection. Why disable the routing function, though? So long as the Modem's LAN side and the wireless router's LAN side don't use the same IP address subnet, you should be in good …

I agree with belama-- unless you really want good 5.7/7.1 sound, I'd stick with the old card. Personally, I just have a pair of 2.1 stereo speakers, and I'm just happy with my onboard sound, not being an audiophile.

If it's a standard ATX motherboard with the appropriate mounting holes and the right power connector pin-outs, it should be okay. The only thing you have to watch out for, though, is the CPU cooler. Sometimes, they use a special model that requires a special fan setup that your new …

Okay... I figure it's time for me to weigh in on this thread. I've unlocked the thread, and folks are free to post in it and enjoy the intent of the thread. I think it was the poster with the "potato pie" that threw me off, but I think I …

It's a little long, don't you think? I'm sure all of the stuff in there is pretty neat, but sometimes it's a little annoying to see a sig longer than the actual post. Think about those people who'd post "me too" in a thread, but have a >10 line sig...

That's only around £20.74-- right in your price range, isn't it? But, not to be facetious or anything, but I mean, like Zachary said, you are overclocking it... My first thought response to your question was "Duh!", but I thought that'd be rude. If you're really serious about overclocking your …

Hey, welcome aboard! I always like hearing people's "back in the day..." stories. Feel free to chime in at any time!

Have you installed the latest Java Runtime Environment? [url]www.java.com[/url] I'd give that a shot, and see what it comes up to.

Excellent! It would appear that not a lot of people know about Group Policy stuff here. I certainly know I, for one, am not as up on it as I'd like to be.

[url]http://www.newegg.com[/url] [url]http://www.froogle.com[/url] ? Do you have any specific needs? Your question is a little vague.

What kind of heatsink do you have on there? 79C is a little hot for my comfort. According to the AMD spec for that processor, they recommend 85C as being the upper limit for heat on the die. Since thermal diodes can be as much as 10C off, you might …

Definitely sounds either like the Blaster or Sasser worm. Try this Virus scanner, it can be downloaded to a floppy: [url]http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger[/url] Run it in Safe mode, and that should square it away. Most any time you get this error message, counting down until shutdown, it's usually one of those RPC-based …

Man, those Vipers are HOT! 500 Horsepower to the wheels I'm told! I, too, am glad to see muscle coming back in vogue. Back in the early 90's we saw a resurgance of it with all of the Japanese sports cars. They had power, but had more finesse than anything. …

Yeah, I like a little of both. I like corporate-type forums because I'm not a big fan of colloquialism. As in, I absolutely can't stand people using chat-speak in a forum, as there's no reason for it, since users have all the time they need to compose a post. On …

Hrm. Very informative... thanks! This sure beats the method I was using-- yanking the cords out of the wall, and then just slinging the thing over my shoulder like a bag.

What is Python? Python is great. ;) It's an object oriented, open-source, multiplatform scripting language. Its target is similar Perl's: you can do anything from System adminstration, quick application prototyping, CGI web scripting, text processing, math, to whatever else with it. There are even toolkits like Tkinter and wxPython that …

Could this thread have been named more clearly, please? Help Me, QUICK! is rude, and it tells us nothing about what your problem is. Please don't assume your thread is more important than someone elses in the future, and please try to be more specific. But, Coconut Monkey's dead-on. Have …

The only thing you could do is run something like PCAnywhere, or VNC, to export the desktop's image over to the laptop. But, if you're gaming or watching video, that's not going to be a very suitable solution...

[QUOTE=Catweazle] Some online activities will install software which communicates in a similar way to a trojan. In fact, they ARE trojans, albeit ones you've invited in.

To add to what Christian said, make sure you don't have any frivolous programs installed. If it's a G3 system, it might have a pretty small drive, (under 10GB is small, IMHO these days) which can fill up pretty quickly if you have lots of stuff installed. So, consider uninstalling …

Do you have an installation CD to boot from? What I'd do is run Disk First Aid from that CD, and see if you get any better results. Sometimes when you're not booting from the affected disk, you have more capability to fix problems if you have to move around …

Try this Google search: [url]http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=create+PDF+documents+free[/url] There seem to be quite a few of them around. My father in law uses these packages pretty frequently; I'll see what he uses, and whether it's freeware or not.

It could be that your hosts file is messed up. Some virus or something might have changed it. Open up c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts in Notepad.
