dunno, i never use armarok , i just use rythmbox and totem

wierd

try playing them in th rythmbox music manager

linux home printer support is really crappy but support for business modele like lazers, especially HP ones is very good

you also want gstreamer-good, gstreamer-bad and gstreamer-ugly

Ubuntu?

Go into settings -> system -> software sources
*enable all repos and refresh them*

Go into add/remove programs in the gnome menu and install the package "ubuntu restricted extras"

Then open up Synaptic and install the Gstreamer codecs.

Install flash through Synaptic. Its named something like "flashplugin-nonfree". Java is there too

This will enable the MS media player formats, mp3 etc.....

check this page out:

DO NOT download LibdvdCSS in the USA. Its illegal.

lol :)

mark the thread as solved please then

Is there a MAC filter?

RMA it and try again with another one

what version of vista. x64 or x32?

sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

this will flush your systems package cache (the zero packages to be installed/ access denied messages signal a possible corruption issue), recache it and upgrade your packages to the newest versions (including the kernel - a new kernel version might solve your wireless problems)

reboot afterwards. If the new kernel doesnt work, select the old one in GRUB.

no problem. I was going to suggest the battery after you checked the cables anyway. If that still didnt work, i was going to get you to strip it down to identify the culprit.

bad power supply then i think

check that all the power connectors are firmly in - especially the 20/24 pin one and the smaller 4 pin one (if present) for the cpu

does the pc not turn on at all?
does any lights come on or fans spin?

yeah, dont touch it (its for changng between american and british voltages)

i think your motherboard or power supply is dead.

You will probably need to take it to a computer shop. The data on the disk should be recoverable.

okay - also, if there is a (usually black) switch on the back of the PSU with a 1 and a 0 then try it in both positions - maybe you knocked it off.

DO NOT flick the (usually red/white) switch that says 110v/240v or anything like that UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES

she tried that

I did try recofiguring the order in slots, nothing.

and yes, please calm down. If you dont want our advice then we will go away and you will be back at square one ;) we done get paid for this - we do it out of the goodness of our hearts

unplug the power cable then hold down the power button for about a minute.

Leave it to sit for a while

Plug the powercable back in

Leave it to sit for a while

Try and start it again

- this procedure usually works to reset the PSU if its short-circuit protection has been activated

make sure you didnt drop a screw or anything

you might have killed your PC with static, or you could have knocked something loose.

Did you wear an antistatic wrist strap?

no, its only taking 64 from it.

Check your BIOS for a thing called "legacy os installation mode"

older OSes dont install on machines with large amounts of ram so the bios usually has an option for it

e.g on my pc i have 1gb and if i set the "legacy os installation mode" it only shows 128mb.

maybe it is enabled for some reason...

the onboard nVidia graphics may be stealing your RAM.

On my ATI base motherboard, if it detects over 1gb, it steals 256mb for the onboard video

are they matching?

DDR ram must be installed in matching pairs of speed size and type and be in the correct slots. Also, does your pc have a limit?

older pcs have a cap - in most pre-2002 pcs its ~768mb. Modern PCs its 4-8gb

use my method

in .net its so much easier you can use me.opacity

look up database technologies like ADO and ADO.NET

They have no privacy policy - dont use them

no. sorry

you can only use your acces-created forms in access but you can use externally programmed forms to read data from an access database

no. Access forms need access to be running to run.

However, you could always use a programming language to write standalone applications which grab data from an access database

no, BF and SF use the same patches

look here

download link: http://www.dougknox.com/xp/utils/xp_secconsole.zip

unzip then run it and go into "start menu and taskbar" on the left and make sure "force classic start menu" is UNchecked. Reboot afterwards then the option should be re-enabled

dont talk about that sort of thing here please

that doesnt help his problem.

contact your isp

check what i said to this guy here (2nd post)

Go to windows update and make sure you have all the most recent updates first.

are you running xp pro 32 or 64 bit as i found this?

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/899965

under $100, maybe $50 i think.

You should take it to a professional though, to make sure it is actually the problem, and see which (if any) of the inverter or backlight needs replacing.

mist decompilers only decompile to assembley. Useful for reverse engineering but not for coding.

Under 5 years for most people. At least 2 provided its not on 24/7. Nearer 3-4 if you use it a lot.

You can buy new inverters , backlights etc... and do it yourself but i dont reccomend it (tricky and opening a monitor is not a good idea)

LCD monitors are fairly cheap these days anyway.

Maybe the inverter or backlight is wearing out.

i didnt mean any offfense bhy my use of the word "cheap"

what i meant was that cheaper power supplies (those under ~$120) generally measure there Peak output - not thier safe output as thier wattage

e.g

cheap power supply sold as "500w" might have:

peak wattage (maxium it can work at before catching fire or something) 500w

safe wattage (max it can put out under normal conditions without generating excessive amounts of heat or system instability) 350w

thats a 150w difference between its stated and real output.

Thats why an reaslly expensive 350w psu can sometimes drive the same stuff as a cheap 500w psu.

i think its power

PSUs push less power as they get older. A cheap 3 or 4 year old 500w psu will only push about 400 without overheating.

Your hard disk should NOT be that hot though. Its normal to be warm but not hot. If the temperature is above 65 degrees (top!) for a prolonged period then your disk will suffer permanent irreversible damage (the platters actually warp)

Windows either states that a system file is missing and cannot load, or when I log onto my account, it states that a file is corrupt.

Okay, so the problem has something to do with my system files (system32 mainly) becoming corrupt out of nowhere.

Chkdsk has a friend. Its called SFC (system file checker).

SFC compares your essential windows files to those in a safe place (or, if it finds they are also corrupt, the ones on your XP CD).

To run SFC go to run and type

sfc /scannow

It will not tell you if it is successful or not. Just let it run and then reboot your PC. It may ask for your XP CD.

If that doesnt help , you probably have a hardware problem. Either lack of Power or Overheating.

No. Of course not.

Should have kept backups.

The problem is that your mic is too close to the speakers or your speakers are up too high so you get feedback. Its not a driver problem.

oh sorry didnt watch it (dont have flash)

im sure you are able to disable them

are they bluetooth, rf, infared what??

read the motherboard manual. It will say what the different beeps means. Different amounts/pitches/speed of beeps mean different things and will help you solve the problem

you could switch it back but then xp wouldnt work
