A lot of people have been having problems with the recent versions of Firefox crashing. I've tracked my problems down to flash player (mostly facebook scrabble) but it has issues with embedded videos as well. For me it just inflates until it's using as much as 3GB of ram (usually …

I'd say to try safemode, if that doesn't work a Repair install is your best bet. If that doesn't work you'll probably need to just do a fresh installation formatting the hard drive. That will fix ANY software problem, but if at all possible you should get your date backed …

BIOS is the underlying settings that tell your system what to do before the operating system loads. It handles hardware settings, boot priorities, fan settings, controlling integrated components, ect,... Flashing the BIOS is the process of overwriting the existing BIOS with a new one, this is usually done with an …

This is a REALLY vague question. You could be talking about hotkeys, shortcuts, key commands, specialized shortcut keys on keyboards or mice... The information that's been offered is good, but if that's not what you were looking for try to be more specific.

Great tutorial, but I wanted to point two things out: 1. This can be done without a domain as well (If I remember correctly) there are obvious advantages to using a domain, but simpler networks may not need it (and since XP home can't join a domain it's extra work …

I'd suggest swapping the hard drive into another computer to copy files OR using a CD bootable linux distro to boot the system and move the files to a flash-drive or external HDD. Then do a repair install on the system.

I'm going to assume this is a strictly test system, with no running webpages running... Just make sure the necisary ports aren't forwarded to your system and/or set your firewall to block them. If there's no domain pointed at your site the odds of it being scene are pretty low …

I've been using 64 bit operating systems since windows xp x64 was still in Beta (about five years ago). Most programs work fine between them (now) but some that need to access hardware resources still aren't compatible with x64, since drivers ARE different between the two. You need to make …

Use this tutorial [url]http://www.mozilla.org/support/thunderbird/profile[/url]. It gives you all the information you need to back-up and restore the data, you'll probably want to put the files on a CD or Flash drive just incase something happens to your HDD partition.

Norton doesn't always uninstall cleanly, in fact it usually doesn't. Symantic is aware of this problem and offers the "Norton Removal Tool" (free of charge) to remove the remnants of their programs. In a situation like this it's also a good idea to uninstall the antivirus you installed over it, …

Welcome to Dani Web!

Of all the games to cheat at... I don't know why minesweaper. But I tested this out and it IS true.

It's an infection, Virus/Adware. Your system is commencing web activity without your knowledge, that's why it's making noises associated with IE and oppening pop-up windows.

If it's a firewall issue make sure that both computers firewalls are set with the other in the "trusted" zone.

I looked around a little and this software [url]http://www.printlogger.com/[/url] seems to be recomended. I haven't used it and AM NOT vouching for it personally, but it seems to do what you need for a reasonable price and has been recomended elsewhere.

You haven't actually expressed a problem... What is it that is not working correctly, or that you would like to change?

I don't know of any "bootloader" that will run a virtual image, because there's no accessible operating system. You'd have two viable options... Either you go straight to something like VMware ESXI or Xen Server and have ALL the systems as virtual images, or you could install a very streamlined …

Welcome to Daniweb Rmanand.

Welcome to Daniweb, I'm going to take a look at your sites asap.

I'm going to take a wild guess this is not an officially sanctioned company project ;). I believe you could do this, but it wouldn't be the most effective way. Just install a proxy server on the location1 end and then you can set all your systems (or yours if …

I would think the msot likely problem is in the IP assignment conflicts. I would try connecting the three wireless routers AND the switch directly to the RV082. Disable DHCP on them so they'll function as switches, and then run all of the hardwired systems directly to the cisco.

Just NOT forwarding ports should do the job. There will be some performance lag, but most people don't have there router ports properly forwarded at home either. Once you start forwarding that port range, you'll run into problems because it's going to want to send all the packets (for the …

Depends on the game, I know a lot of people that do this to save space and allow them to use a smaller boot-drive, but it will definately effect performance on gmaes that rely heavily on HDD activity. I personally think that HDD is the least important factor for gaming …

I'm an IT consultant and aspiring blogger, and in a recent discussion witha collegue about security software I realized I really didn't have anything to go on but user reviews and popularity. I want to write an article doing a comparative analasys of different antivirus software by testing them on …

It's a matter of permissions. If you right click on teh files you want to transfer from your current windows installation you can go to the security tab and change ownership to yourself. This will give you full rights to do as you please to the files (I believe you …

I've never had this happen because of a software install, I'd reccomend: 1. Hit F8 as if you were going to safemode, and select "last known good configuration" 2. if you use the default XP log-in style (I forget what it's called but it lists your accoutns and a photo) …

A lot of places do Ipod repair, or you can try it yourself if you're comfortable taking your player apart. I know that on laptop and desktop LCDs (not very common on desktops because of design) lines are usually a result of a defective cable between the controller and screen. …

Download new security software, if it wont let you go to the sites go to a torrent site and download a free program from there (an actual free-ware program that's shared on a torrent site). Uninstall the current program while in safemode, and install the other one the same way. …

If you're working on windows check out the windows driver development kit. I don't know the link information, but it shouldn't be hard to find microsofts website.

Windows 2000 looked and felt a whole lot like 98 until you started working with it. I haven't used it yet so I can't vouch for Microsofts innovation, but after the lesson they learned last time I'd be careful to judge the OS based on outward similarities to Vista. I'll …

I don't think it's necessarily slower, but anytime you add new features there's the potential. You can run Ultimate with all the same things active as HP; or you can turn the extra features on, use the added programs, and whatever other things make it twice as much. With every …

It sounds like a problem with your ISP, call Verizon. Usually I'd talk you through tinkering with the router, but since the router is incorporated into your modem and provided by Verizon for a propriatary service you're better off calling somebody with the manual and a replacement if it's needed. …

At this point it's data recovery, not PHP, Windows software (WAMP) or even Vista. Stop using the drive, research data recovery and "undelete" from another system, and see what you can come up with.

The 3/4GB discussion is tricky suspisho handled it pretty well. As far as 32 vs. 64, I've been running Vista Ultimate X64 since very shortly after the release (I don't recall when vista came out) and managed fine. There were some issues with drivers, and a lot of problems with …

Both CPUs are the same socket, I don't know for sure that the d945gccrl plays nice with quad core cpus, but have you tried it?

You need to reinstall the programs. Complex software can not be moved from one PC to another without A LOT more trouble than just reinstalling them. This is a NEW computer, these programs are not installed on it and will not run. With that said there are programs (I've used …

Odds are that you're not going to be able to make a web browser from scratch if you have to ask these specific questions, but here's the info: When you enter a domain name into a web browser the browser transmits that to your ISPs DNS server. Which works with …

The easiest way is to just examine the network topography (what everything is plugged into) and see if you have a router. I doubt you do since the main practical difference between a router and a switch is DHCP functionality. If you have a DHCP server and a switch it …

You have two options, either a VPN enabled router, or build a fire-wall box with VPN. look into open VPN, it would let you set up one firewall system on LAN2 as the primary, and the other 2 would connect to it as clients. If you set the subnet and …

It could be your motherboard or your Hard drive cable. You shouldn't have to buy a new motherboard. Every motherboard I've ever bought comes with at least a six month warranty, usually 1 year + (but I buy higher end parts for myself and clients)

Before you can drag it from network places you need to share it. A flash drive can be a shared resource just like a hard drive or folder. The steps would be different depending on the operating system you're sharing from. But you need to connect and mount the USB …

Unfortunately they've already been wiped, the difference between your PST and your other office documents is that when you save a word document it sticks it in a common folder (my documents, or whatever you tell it to) where the excel PST file is actually more of a system file …

1.) Go to: Tools>manage ad-ons>enable or disable ad-ons. This is where you can disable any "bloat" that's slowing down your browser. 2.) Clean your temporary internet files, cache, ect,... 3.) Make sure you have the most recent release of IE7. 4.) Download Firefox. This might be a good permanent solution, …

You wouldn't necessarily need a server, a good network switch would probably do the job (If you could shave a couple routers off of this estimate you could get by with a single 24 port, but you may need to go to a 48. I think your outline for the …

Find the line beginging with DirectoryIndex, it should have a list of all the acceptable index files (index.html, home.html, index.shtml, index.php, ect,...). Depending on the installation package and settings it can have a dozen options, or just index.html. Make sure index.htm is on that list and manually add it if …

SEO is as safe as any career in marketing. If people are selling products online, and you can stand out as an expert it's secure. What you'll make just varies too much. There are individuals doing it for free on forums, making a few $ here and there, professionals making …

Are you sure that model# is right? I wasn't able to find any reference to it online (other than this post) including the PCchips website.

It could be a lot of things, but probably a motherboard or power issue.

The "local area connection" message could be refering to your loop-back adapter, not your LAN card. Can you ping your router? What happens when you open a command prompt and use the "IPConfig" command? Do the other systems on the network connect properly?

I've never actually heard of a major accident that wasn't caused by human error. Of course having water in your system does add a certain degree of risk, but if you set it up properly the worst you'll have is a drip (which you'll almost always catch before it does …
