Well how can you be sure that SpeedFan caused that? I've said it was working well,even after I changed the fan speeds, till I turned on the machine next day.

hmmm...

Before the day that this happened, I used a program called SpeenFan on Windows 7. I changed the fan speed. I don't know what I did.....

then you stop using the card, so you know that the card is the problem.

It sounds likely, at least. Besides, just looking at one of those (see thumbnail below), those fans look like they are rather important Don't you think? Messing with them using 3rd party software is not particularly recommended, and usually voids the warranty (I wonder why - oh, because they break).

I admit, stating that SpeedFan WAS the cause may be a little presumptious of me...

If you can tell us what the actual cause was, then please enlighten us, for the benefit of others who have this issue - otherwise this thread serves as a good warning to others about some of the dangers of playing with 3rd party tweaking tools...

whether it was the cause or otherwise.

Exactly as the title says.

Really? Would we even 'see' it if it happened in our living rooms?

I always thought the opp of BB was the Big Crunch, although I'm more akin to believe in Heat Death. Thermodynamics is a bitch.

hmmm. I cannot remember much about heat death, but I believe it has something to do with one of the ways that the BB theory is impossible? the maths behind the likelyhood of life is so small that it is deemed impossible. let alone the maths behind evolution.

People repost the same old urban legends, and no one knows why.

Actually, they'll believe anything printed shoved in front of their noses and never bother to conduct even the slightest bit of independent research.

Good On Ya!!
Thanks for the link. I was trying to figure how this could possibly be true. I was coming up with Zer0. (I am a part time physicist)

I think a government has much more other things to do than that. But sometimes politicians have nothing else to do to make themselves interesting. I should say, if you're an adult and you want to look at trash on the internet, be my guest! Kids should be restricted(parental control) but that is totaly the responsability of their parents, not mine.
I want to be rocking in a free world and not ending in something like 1984
And of course free does not mean totaly free;) There must be rules. In my country we drive on the right side of the road, I intend to keep it that way.

I think they are only planning on blocking crap we don't really want anyway. But, who knows what will be allded to the list, or when? propaganda for the opposing parties blocked? filter search results so that The Party is always right?

Kinda scary in concept

Naa, sorry. didn't like it. the questions were not fairly comaparical (didn't relate to one another properly), the site depends on popups (big risk, lots of crap is hidden in popup scripting). I prefer the Barrel 51 Calender. I will have to dog it out and add it to the list.

How about we make up out own questions and respond to those? that could be fun::

The Gift I recieved was a Day WITHOUT any technology. A whole day spent in the company of my wife. Gest gift ever. And never a xmas tree in sight. Yay!

I think we are talking about 2 different wars - I was talking about B.O'R.'s war on xmas

Sorry if I am mistaken, but it seems to me that Bill O'Rielly is actually quite neutral in his views in that segment. possibly even slightly xmas-pro rather than con.

He is stating that the Liberalist parties are trying to hush down all aspects of religion in general - Xmas being a highly visible one - because if no one is listening to the 'christians'/other conservative religions, then passing laws that allow things like drug use, abortion, etc will be easier.

I am in New Zealand, So I am not hugely familiar with America's political system. Or Bill O'Rielly. But isn't that what he is saying?

Thanks. I'll try that. I have a USB mouse which I got when i bought the PC . (It's an ACER)

Ok, so just update the native Windows mouse drivers through Windows update then. And your USB ones, too. You don't have anything special that requires separate or 3rd party stuff.

Have you checkd the physical mouse cable, might have a bend, or an internal break in that causing a problem, too.

yeah, could be the mouse driver, or the usb hub driver. which you can update through windows update, here:

http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/

let us know if you fix it, or if you don't.

what kind of mouse you have?

I never understood the 'war on xmas' stuff - how is "Happy Holidays" an evil thing? Christmas is Dec. 25th - that is the day to wish someone a Merry Christmas. Do you wish someone 'happy Thanksgiving for weeks before the day? The winter solstice is such a good time for a holiday that almost all religions have a 'special' day during that time of the year. Rather than try to remember all those different holidays, it seems to me that Happy Holidays works pretty well.

hey, man. the war on xmas has little to do with the date. It is about forcing everyone else to celebrate a certain way (trees+lights+furry red fat guy) when not everyone wants to be bombarded with that way of thinking.

Hey, there are a lot of 'Christians' that don't celebrate xmas, because they believe it is based on incorrect and/or corrupt assumptions. (like biblically the date of Jesus birth is not dec25, for eg).

You don't see the Jews pushing Hanakah in everyone's faces, they just go about it quietly. you know it is there, but it isn't shoved down your throat.

Besides, the only peple that push xmas are commercially oriented anyway - big business. xmas is big $$. New zealand (4 million people) spent 2.6 billion$ on dec 24 alone, with 134 transactions per second (eftpos only, not including cash, credit etc). most of those shoppers look stressed, not happy.

So the war on xmas is really a …

Cool. looks like "The New Normal" was closer than me this time. how about you mark it as solved, and it will come off the ...to solve list in the forum? cheers :-)

I am not questioning your need for whether it is a software based, or a hardware based solution that you require. If you would like some help with your problem though, you are going to have to answer the following question:

What are you trying to print FROM?

in other words

are you trying to print from your PC to your printer via BT, or are you trying to print through (your PC to the printer) from (a PDA/Cell phone/Laptop etc)?

OK. So at least now you know what was wrong, and how it happened. Help me, mark this thread as solved? Reputation points if I was helpful?

Thanks,

Is the only thing I have found thus far...

reboot the PC.
press f8 to get into safe mode.
select safemode with command prompt
log in as anyone you can.
in the command line go
net user Administrator *
Type a password (I suggest a blank one, just hit 'enter')
Type it again ('enter')
reboot and try again, admin should now have a blank password

learn you to play with it, huh...

If that does not work, then do a system restore. that will fix the registry. If not, you will have to edit the registry remotely. let me know and I will walk you through it...

If it is plugged into the wall, it shouldn't matter if the battery is bad. it should still boot fine, even if the battery was pulled out. I take it you are new to this game?

are there any light coming on at all?
it might be that the charger is not working and you were running on battery power and now there is now juice left in the battery.

what symptoms were you having prior to this issue?

Welcome To DaniWeb, hope we can help you...

Don't think there is Free AV for Symbian. Let me know if you find it... I would be interested.

but Eset does an mobile AV. might work.

Sorry. web timed out on me, had to recover all this fromm my keylogger.. hopefully I recomplie it in the right order...

the boot loop is caused (usually) by windows booting onto a motherboard other than the one it was installed on. so your mobo is probably fine.

slow detection times in HDD are caused, 99% of the time, by...
Power surges.
I bet you don't have spike protection on your PC , Modem, and ethernet lines, do you? monitor, router,
you can check this by booting from that HDD, hitting F8 repeatedly.

(some mobo use F8 for their boot menu so if you get a device menu, exit out and continue, hitting F8 again)
you should get a list starting with "safe mode." go down to "disable system restart on system failure."
it should boot through and end up in a blue screen of death. this is fine. it means your mobo is good, and windows is booting off the HDD, but the device crivers a very wrond good bootable etc. (HDD is in wrong PC )

back up that bad hdd before it fails completely. A disk imaging program would be the best.Daniweb is pushing Acronis TrueImage. It is probably good if Dani puts her name behind it, but I have never used it. So I cannot offer an opinion. or just use XCOPY command. but DO NOT use normal windows copy, it will stop on the …

Umm. SpeedFan is a legitimate program. Presuming yours was not a viral copy, of course. however, it does change the speed of the fan, and if you force it to go slower, and your card (or cpu) overheats,,, bang. weird things happen, or nothing does.

Expect a bill from 'them'.

And then go buy a new card if it there a bill. And don't buy it from them.

what are ou using at the moment, your PC or another one?
Can you put another card in your PC and see if it is going OK at the moment? maybe it is not the card at fault...

hmmm. I have seen this before in the following situations:

1. you bought a second dud card.
2. your gpx card has driver compatiblity issues with your motherboard: try a different series or another brand.
3. your agp/pci slot is on the way out.
4. you have a faulty vga cable.
5. funnily enough, I have also seen that black screening happen on a PC that had nowhere near enough RAM, too. But I cannot see how that could be an issue. however, more RAM did solve the problem.

I have one of those syncmasters too. it is a no go, but I get a different error - it says 'out of range' when I know that it is not. could be an issue with that series of monitor, maybe.

the port might be failing. try it in a different port for a bit. see if it stops playing up.

OK... just a quick question before we take this any further... (I just want to clarify...)

that piece of software is designed to print from PDA/Phone ->(BT connection)-> BT Computer ->(USB/Network Cable)-> non-BT Printer.

is this what you are trying to do?

you cannot go:

PC to non BT printer over bluetooth.

but you can buy an usb-IR connection dongle I believe. so maybe there is a BT dongle that converts a usb connection, too?

does that even make sense? I am too tired. See you in the morning. sorry.

my new word me thinks, precious...

I have heard this from 3 different sources. hmmm. me thinks me will go iMax this one...

I think I am a prettyboy, so I'll do it...
this is one of my wife & me a couple of years back now...

and so to bed...

one is to go:

my computer, rclick on the offending drive (usually C:\)
properties-tools-check my disk for problems
tick both boxes, hit OK.

it should say it will do it on a reboot... hit okokok.
reboot, go make a coffee.

If that no go, then something is wrong with chkdsk.
hmmm.

The same thing can be achieved by running the guided help thingee by microsoft, here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315265

If that is the case, then Tere be Drakons inst thy PC...
so BACK EVERYTHING UP!!!! NOW.

there is a good tutorial on this proceedure, plus making a bootable floppy for the job (you might be able to do this with a CD if you understand the command line they have used.) and also how to do it using a genuine winXP install disk+ recovery console.

http://pcworld.about.com/magazine/2111p196id112479.htm

hope it helps...

You Know, I just checked something...

your HJT log shows:
C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE
but guess what?
it should be:
C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe

Yes, uppercase matters.
Maybe something has overwritten/hijacked your internet explorer program?

if so, when uninstalling the above, make the additional steps of deleting everything from the
\program files
\documents and settings\application data\internet explorer
\documents and settings\application data\microsoft\internet explorer
\documents and settings\local settings\application data\internet explorer
\documents and settings\local settings\application data\microsoft\internet explorer

folders.
be careful only to delete internet explorer stuff.

or try Revo Uninstaller (freeware, google it) on advanced mode and select and delete everything. You will need to use this program instead of add/remove programs or it will not be able to help you.

grab some of the keywords on that website, if you can. Preferrably the ones before it redirects.

search for them in firefox.
you do this by typing in the address bar:
about:config
and reading the warning. and proceeding. and using the built in search.

worth a try before you reformat the thing, anyway.

Remmber to back it up befor you format it please

ummm

I am not really the one for HJT logs. I had a quick look and didn't see anything, but I am not the one to ask.

Two things I can think of:

1.
check this setting: in windows explorer (open my computer and the menubar across the top will have "file edit view tools help")

tools-folder options
'view' tab -

check to see if 'restore my windows at startup...' (or whatever it is) is enabled.

if that does not work....

2.

BACK UP your bookmarks and custom settings, etc in ie8
uninstall ie8
run this program:
(microsoft uninstall cleanup utility from microsoft support)
http://download.microsoft.com/download/e/9/d/e9d80355-7ab4-45b8-80e8-983a48d5e1bd/msicuu2.exe

(you need to install it, then go and find it, I cannot remember where it goes in XP, but it is in the "start-all programs" list)
see if it can find ie8 and delete it. if not then fine,

reboot.

reinstall ie8

or better yet, switch to firefox!!!

probably a bit of a hack/slash solution, not the most elegant, but hopefully it will fix you. there is something corrupt somewhere...

oh no!

No more abandon ware on my win7 64bit :-(

the latest version of FDM has the plugin for all those browsers.

download page:
http://www.freedownloadmanager.org/download.htm

Full Version:
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/freedownload/fdminst.exe

grab it, install it, then go:
(FDM)
options-settings

then in the tree on the left,
downloads-monitoring

and select the browsers that you want, and any other settings. If you know how to use a download manager, you probably understand them, so I will not explain them here (unless you want me to? happy to help if you need it!!)

After all that, your browsers need to install the plugins - and then you will need to shut them down and restart them. this step should be pretty automatic. Google still has issues with this from time to time though. I have stopped using it as it keeps crashing on me in different ways...

FF all the way for now...

Sorry I am too late getting back to you...

but for the benefit of others::
fix the corrupt installer:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/942288

Very funny. A reinstall would work too

No, a reinstall probably wouldn't fix it.

Try this:

Rightclick on the installer
second option in the context menu should be ""troubleshoot Compatibility T

Run through that in xinXP SP2 modeW" or what ever.

Or you could type ""compatibility in to the start->searchbar and hit "run programs made for different versions of windows"

I'm trying to run the setup program for Daemon tools and alcohol 120 and vista comes back sayin "I need administrator privileges to proceed even though I'm logged in as an admin and have full permissionson the file/s. Any ideas????

Right Click the installer, go down to "Run as Administrator". Try that first.

People who dont believe disagree with each other too! Thats what makes us individuals! the information is downloaded from different sources in each one of us, it's a qerky little bunch of query's called personality!

As for ghost's being demons, well no one can say from one supernatural experience to the next exactly who or what they can be attributed to every single time!

There are many strange things out there in creation no one creature knows all the answers!

Hi, buddy!
You really are a computer geek!

Programmer right?
Don't worry. I'm jealous.

Thanks for the support!

And I agree with you except for one little thing (God, as a living spirit creature, knows everything)

but YEP> YOU ARE SO RIGHT!!!

Umm... I was writing from the point of view that it was C:\ having trouble. you are looking at CD/DVD drives. unsure what the prob was, as the original poster has not got back...

I know. there are many reasons for it though. what better way to mislead them than to use Gods' own word to misdirect? I am not saying I am right, i don't need the fight. All i can say is that a lot of pain can be caused if we are wrong... for example. Jesus said that the true religion could be found by the love they have amonst themselves. As an obvious example, look at WW2. Hitler used the clergy to summon the people, this is common knowledge. But so did Chuchill!! So when the preists blessed the bombs, the guns, and the men on either side - which side was God on? look at our national anthems... (god defend us) as a country. against what? another country? Jesus never said that Christianity had borders! so if your religion is willing to go to war, then it is the same with your 'enemy' who is also your spiritual brother. yet you fight each other? (This is generic and is pointed at no one person or group. it is merely the easiest 'verbal 'tense'' in which to write)

Wait for the deluge, AD! nice to see you again BTW. I been away fo a while. Had no BB.

naa that's cool. I have find in mine and it's OK. I am just updating this thread because it did not have a conclusive answer. Now it does, so if someone finds this thread, they will find the answer (and hopefully join DW) That's how they roped ME in, too much exellent content...

Ghosts are actually caused by me killing people faster than Death can process them.

Terry Pratchett, "Discworld".

Nice application though.

It gets worse.

Ghosts are Demons in disguise. And demons don't play by rules, they make them up as they go. That is why it is so hard to figure out what "Ghosts" are. Because they 'change'. It explains how they can be immaterial and still interact with the material univers at the same time, BTW

Seroiusly.

A Demon is, by definition, a Fallen Angel - an angel of God that CHOSE of his own free will to rebell against his Creator.

They cannot redeem themselves now, are lined up for destruction (Armageddon - a good time to look forward to, when evil is removed and good is left over) so they go making as much trouble as they want... for their fun of it.

They result in confusing the unknowing, and them drawing away from God, Which is what the original Slander was - that man would not put faith in God when under test.

Belive it or not, it explains a lot, huh?
I can prove this by references if you wish, but can't be bothered getting into a bible-bashing fight with those who disagree. please take it or leave it, but don't hijack this thread and make it about whether God exists or whether the what the Bible says is truth. This forum is about Ghosts, …

SOMEONE HAD TO CHANGE THE VALUE IN THE FIRST PLACE!!

So it is PROBABLY the resycled/boot.com worm

(not misspelled) but it bit me twice the same way by attacking the registry directly. you then dlete the worm using AV and the reg key is invalid,,, creating this response we are trying to fix.

in fact that particular setting should be left alone, I believe... unless you want WMP to open when you click on C:\

welcome to debate that via PM.

PS: HAVE YOU RUN AN AntiVirus Lately???

Hi. the answer is simple.

Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
322756 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322756/ ) How to back up and restore the registry in Windows

please note there are TWO keys that need to be set, one for FOLDERS and one for DRIVES

1. Start Registry Editor Start-run, type in "Regedt32.exe" (no quotes) (hit enter key)
2. Locate and then click the Default value under the following keys in the registry
if this problem occurs with folders:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell
If this problem occurs with drives:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell
3. Click Modify on the Edit menu, or double click teh value in the right pane.
4. Type "none" - no quotes - in the Value data box, and then click OK. (replace whatever is or is not there, probably "find")
5. Quit Registry Editor.

http://network-tools.com/ is hosted offshore, therefore it can find it. your dos/cmd is from your pc inside your country, therefore is filtered. that is my suggestion, anyway

who is hosting it? - if you want my help, you will need to answer this one, sorry. The reason is:::

if the virtual server is also suporting certain types of websites, it could be getting mixed up by the countries' channel... yes you are an Italian, right? and your server is offshore? I think that italy, and costa has automatic filtering at the entry points for the net in that country, so everything is monitored and filtered at the border. if your sites are associated at all with blocked sites or content, it could be the auto-filters stopping you. that would explain why you can't see it but others can. if you want to fix this you need to change the law, or get a different server. even america has these filters inplace for some strange stuff, like try googling "conspiracy keywords" - these are words that their servers look for and if you have them, be sure that uncle sam is watching. hope that helps.

PRIMO.

Please "mark this thread as solved" so that others will know what worked for you - and if you do it when mine is the last comment, then I get the credit - just so someone else doesn't poach my goodie points for helping you - thanxx

im jealous.

DHCP IS disabled on the other machiens, the router is the only one with DHCP unless it get's it's internet from another PC. your set up is real easy to fix BUT I NEED TO KNOW what is plugged into where. my first question was WHAT IS YOUR SET UP? and until that is answered i can be of little use to you. one DSL line into the building. it plugs into a what? then what plugs into that? how many people plug into where? how may are wireless? will you even need wireless once this is set up? wireless can be
A) turned off so noone can poach it
B)passworded so only people who know it can get on. some routers (flash ones) can stop torrents but few and far between.

you have the cd? DO THIS:

boot from the cd
hit install windows
(dont touch recovery console)
agree (f8)
select your harddrive with windows on it
your cd will find your current version of windows
hit repair. wait an hour. or two.

i suggest a back up first. and set a restore point. this will fix any corrupt WINDOWS files WITHOUT deleting or overwriting any of your crap. it even leaves the registry intact except for critical stuff. so you will have windows again. that is the easy fix. really really.

in fact, before you do that do this

in windows
start-my computer
right click your windows HDD
select properties
select the tools tab
select check for errors
tick both boxes
ok
schedule on restart
ok
ok
then restart your pc. chkdsk should kick in for an hour or so. if not, do it again coz sometimes it does the funky monkey i dont know why.

then look for H+S

that might fix it. if not then run the repair as above.

the small red x suggests frames or images might be disabled, but i can't remember how to fix it. and i am too damn tired. maybe someone else remebers? it can be done in gpedit but i can't remember where. ssrr - you running home or pro? no gpedit in home standard? i think. i usually hack it into home installs/ not illegal! theres no law saying you cant add to xp - only that you cant r-e it.

(general comment- chrome has heaps of compatibility issues. I love the idea of the browser, but it is crap. sorry. use your other browser as the default and it should render ok.)

guys trying to help:I dont think he means on line help. he means inside XP, on the start menu - is this correct, "ssrr" ... ?

Has is always done this? is this pc new to you? if it was a custom build, then H+S might have never been installed to make xp lighter. or more likely you have a virus issue. run malwarebytes.org first, then run system restore if that doesn't fix it. ask if you don't understand.
