| | Re: Green screen!! I dont know if I recommend this, maybe as a last resort, but I know people that, if this is the same thing you are talking about, have used a magnet on their monitor and dragged the green off. Usually that kind of thing is caused by a magnet as … |
| | Don't drop things :D Got a warranty? If so, use it :P Shane McP |
| | You should have a recovery CD or windows installation CD that came with the comp. You want to start the comp, put in the CD and walk through the step-by-step process to reinstall. It is fairly self explanatory once you get the CD in. If your comp does not have … |
| | Someone may have changed the default video card to something else, probably the on-board video. If there isn't on-board video then try switching the monitor to whatever other video card there is. If that doesn't work. Turn of the CPU and unplug it, then take out the cmos battery and … |
 | Thanks for the reccomendation, I'll check it out |
| | First, the website has to offer the option to download. If their clips are only available as streaming you cannot download them. However if there is just a link to the file you can right click the link and click save target as or save link as(mozilla). The link to … |
| | I just wanted to get some input on this. I mean we all know that the big U.S. companies have discovered it is much cheaper to outsource help desk/tech support jobs to other countries. Whether it be India or Germany, the jobs are definitely leaving the United States. I'm pretty …  |
| | Turn your CPU on and hit f8 rapidly, DONT STOP. Eventually you should get the boot menu screen. Choose to boot into safe mode. You should be able to get in and backup your important files (using Cds, floppies, whatever you can) just get your important files backed up! You … |
| | That sucks, sorry to hear it, you should call a lawyer lol.  |
| | GreenZap just came out, don't know if they are international yet |
 | As far as your money being secure or insured through Paypal's money market account, its not. Although I signed up for it (just for the heck of it) I do recall the warning that it is not, here it is: Unlike checking accounts, money market funds are neither insured nor … |
| | Re: Computer repair One of the best things to do would be build your own computer, or fool around with an older one that you don't have to worry about breaking. Experience is a really big thing, but in the corporate environment, so are certifications. MCSE, A+, CCNA are different types of certs … |
| | Re: Needware If the program isn't from a mainstream company, its probably loaded with spyware. To remove spyware you can use a variety of programs. Adaware and Spybot are popular choices. I would personally recommend Microsoft Anti-spyware. Update it and run it in safe mode (press f8 repeatedly on startup and select … |
 | I think the computer engineer / IT person is a commonly confused career path. All things considered, IT is better :P |
| | A get together would reinforce the standing as a community. It is a great idea, I hope I'm able to come out!  |
| | try cleaning it with an air compressor or vaccume. If I had more time, I'd respond with more, but I g2g. Later Shane |
| | SWEET, a competitor to Paypal! This could lead to great things! Aren't Paypal and Ebay kind of like a monopoly because no other online money companies are involved? Well now they will be if Ebay tries to keep GreenZap out. Woot! Hurray for competition!  |
| | You could very well have some spyware issues. I have so ideas that may help. Send me a PM with questions. First you want to start your computer in safe mode (I say that a lot ). Repeatedly strike the f8 key while your computer is booting up and select … |

| | I haven't had the time to read your whole thing now but send me a PM and I'll send you my work email address. I own a small IT company and would love to help!  |
| | What do you mean partition method? It sounds like you should do a complete clean install. Restore disks are always messy. You want to format the disk (not quick format) prior to installing the OS. Let me know how it goes. |
| | A simple add-on should do the trick. Try one of these: [url]http://internet-filter-review.toptenreviews.com/?ttreng=1&ttrkey=internet+filter[/url] This one is free: [url]http://www.k9webprotection.com/[/url] They filter anything and everything you want to pretty much. Hope that helps. |
| | First you want to start your computer in safe mode (I say that a lot :D). Repeatedly strike the f8 key while your computer is booting up and select "Safe mode with networking" Once Safe mode loads, try opening up internet explorer. Head to [url]http://housecall.trendmicro.com[/url] and run their spyware/virus utility. …  |

| | Re: Dell Computers Try downloading the driver from a hard line connection (ethernet cable). Sometimes downloads can become corrupted when using wireless devices. Try plugging into the network and redownloading. They could have released a bad driver, but I doubt it. Check to see if you have spyware and remove it: First you … |
| | It is normal for your IP address and default gateway to be different! From what you described I am almost positive that your firewall settings are causing the problem. I'd make sure that both your Norton Firewall and Windows Firewall are off. Your router and modem have built in firewalls … |
| | Re: purpled desk top The monitor itself is purple? Try hooking up a different monitor to the computer to test if your monitor is bad. The monitor may not actually be bad, it may just need to be reconnected to your video card. Sometimes this happens if a pin or two become disconnected. Also, … |
| | Start your system in safe mode (repeatedly press f8 on bootup). Run an antispyware program like spybot or adaware. Remove any problems. See if that helps |
| | Re: William How do you know the internal fan comes on? Are you just hearing a noise whenever you try to use the internet? That noise could be your hard drive spinning. If it is, you may need to: -Defragment your Hard Drive -Scan for Spyware/Virus |
| | I can tell you that the only way you are going to start to make money from advertising is starting. I would recommend just trying something (like Adsense). If it doesn't work then you can learn from it. The most important thing is to do something though! Hope that helps. |
| | Yes, you can do this! You do need to create a separate partition. After that, you can install via cdrom like usual. Just make sure you install to your newly created partition (not the old one).  |
| | I cannot say 100% but it sounds like a hard drive problem. I am 90% sure of that. The operating system not found error means that no data is detected on the hard drive. This happens when you format and when it "formats" itself. When you say it doesn't boot … |
| | I'm not sure if I understand your issue but I doubt that changing your hard drive or upgrading your ram would cause it to overheat. Make sure your system fan is spinning. You may also want to buy a can of compressed air and use it on all the fans … |
| | Hey everyone, its been a while but have you heard of the new merger: BellSouth Corp. and AT&T Inc. AT&T is proposing to buyout BellSouth, this is the exact same thing that happened YEARS ago. If my memory serves, these two companies (as well as a few others) we split … |
| | Re: how to program? Your best bet, since you seem to not really know much about it, would be to take an intro to programming class. Maybe something like Intro to C or Visual Basic. They tend to explain the basic principles of programming. All of the different languages you mentioned can be used …  |
| | I just wanted to see what people are using out there. If you want, give some reason why you use that software, it'll help everyone who is unsure make a decision. |
| | I would pay if I had a decent forum and site, not for what I have right now though |
| | I thought this should go here, its a web technology and trend right? I don't know, discuss people! Do you use it? Do you like it? Any tips on optimizing it for some "Newb Admin" :D. Any tips at all? |
| | You could also purchase some more ram, I'm assuming this is an older machine? Pc-133 RAM is pretty cheap. Check out Ebay or something for it. |
 | There are some very useful applications. Although it may be a poor idea for a company, it is a great idea for a small organization. I'm talking about like an after school club, or a fraternity or something. Or if everyone at Daniweb or some other forum had an email … |
| | Your motherboard could very well be bad. Your data is probably still recoverable, but you would need to take your hard drive out and hook it up as a secondary to a computer. Doing this would also aid in your hard drive diagnostic. If it still didn't work as a … |
| | Re: HELP - Boot Loop Put it as the secondary drive on another computer and recover the data that way. That way it will be safe to format. Also, your motherboard may have gone bad. In which case, you would need a new one. The best way to test your motherboard is to get some …  |
| | You want to know who hosts his website, not his specific ISP. Enter the domain name (for example [url]www.google.com[/url]) into this site: [url]http://www.hcidata.co.uk/host2ip.htm[/url]. Then go to this site and lookup who it is: [url]http://www.arin.net/[/url] . You can communicate with that website about the abuse. Hope that helps Shane |
| | Get a router that works with DSL and has both wireless and wired capabilities |
| | Dreamweaver is your best bet, take a class on it, or use the tutorials. Dreamweaver mx 2004 is not that difficult, it just takes a little effort. Front page is okay, but I don't like it. Dreamweaver interfaces with their graphic editing software pretty well too. The option is go …  |
| | Your power adapter is probably dead, try finding someone with the same adapter or go buy a new one that is compatible. If it is not the adapter, the power connection to your motherboard may have become lose. This is an easy sodering fix, but most places just replace the … |
| | Re: Upgrade or Wait? Windows Vista will be 64-bit ONLY. This means that whatever motherboard you want to get should have that option, your processor should follow suit and be 64-bit. The other things don't matter as much. If you are going to build a CPU, you should probably buy the best and newest … |
The End.
