| | Some tme ago the British chocolate manufacturer was bought by Kraft. Super sweet meets super bland. Anyway, Kraft being American and having too many corporate lawyers tried to copyright the Cadbury colour purple. They may have succeeded, I don't know, it wasn't the sort of news item you hung in …  |
| | I don't see code here, why is it being detected as such? Here is the post, all in a code box: There are a few things to tidy up, but first, some advice: there are a lot of items under MSCONFIG Startup and Services which have been disallowed (prevented from … |
| | RPC Locator service isn't used in Vista or later OSes, it can be set to Manual, Stopped. It only exists so that applications calling it won't throw errors, hence should not be set to Disabled. RPC service should be Automatic. |
| | Re: FACEBOOK! If you learnt a few things by applying a little effort you could easily succeed at getting access to FB, and at the same time possibly fail miserably at what is somewhat more important - your studies, if you could not guess. Children these days are so frightened of not … |
 | Re: What is Tracing? I deleted the software folder ages back because I don't use it [or my sys doesn't]. Tracing.. it is just what this says : [url]http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc957864.aspx[/url] Mind that the key they rattle on may differ for different installations. In my Home, it is HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft \Tracing\ Anyway, disable tracing by setting it … |
| | So eHarmony's security has been broken again. I have absolutely no jokes about that. None. But hang on. Doesn't hacking mean those members might get to be contacted by people? That's why they are there in the first place? And if LinkedIn was hacked then once again, the aim of …  |
 | Hello, Rabbie, some things for you to do. GMER shows nothing, nor does MBAM. DDS shows that you have two AV services, my advice would be to uninstall AVG - get and run the uninstaller tool from their website for complete removal. Or if you so wish, do that procedure … |
 | What hardware have you got connected? Try going with just the simplest arrangement, eg. keyboard only, no mouse. No USB hardware, use PS2 keyboard if available, maybe a PS2 mouse. I'm not sure, but I think Esc was for Recovery options like Safe Mode, Normal Mode, Last Config...  |
| | Hey, look! There's a bar down there! Sigh. In all my visits I had never used it... it barely slides into my conciousness. But having just tried it, it looks handy for a quick visit to check responses. |
 | Re: Related Article Well, I don't care at all about its positioning. Is that an opinion? If it is, showing indifference to it won't matter. I as a rule don't read the related article suggestion, I've learnt that computers may pick words reliably but suck greatly at contextual relationship. Of course I read … |
 | Drives E:, F:, H: - what are they, USB flashdrive keys? Whatever, check them for Autorun.inf files. Those files possibly contain something like... [AutoRun] icon=LG.ico ...where LG.ico or similar is pointing to an icon file somewhere. Just delete the Autorun.inf files. |
| | Struggling still? You might try running Farbar Network Service Scan from http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/farbar-service-scanner/ Start it, check Internet Service, and Scan. Post the log. It's a portable tool, run it from a UFD key. |
 | If by information you mean data, the answer is maybe. Traffic is in hexadecimal byte form, there is a considerable amount of "heading" information in each packet (all set out for you), and the message or data is also identified and interpreted into ascii characters.

| | More fun with Markdown. To denote all files, folders in H: drive one seems to have to type two backslashes, so: Typing H:\\* gives H:* in the post. and H:\\ \\* gives H:\\* And you wouldn't believe the fun I had typing that. What I had to type is totally … |

| | Use error trapping with an error-handling routine: ERR code 53 [file not found], but you should account for pathname and disk errors : 70 [Disc access denied] and 71 [Disc is not ready]; also 55, 72, 75, 76 can pull you up - check the GWBasic error codes [Gurgle them]. … |
| | Gmer can stick occasionally on some systems that are clean. Try running it in Safe mode firstly to see if you have a good copy, then properly in Normal mode... it can only detect rootkits that are running, many do not start in safe mode. |
| | I loathe IntelliTXT... you're reading something, your right hand is absent-mindedly doodling with the mouse and POP... suddenly you're not reading any more. Daniweb is welcome to any of my stuff. It's sorta nice having *someone* claim it as of some value.  |

| | Re: Article views?? Dani, the loss of the view numbers is of no concern to me. How can you differentiate between genuine interest/learning/satisfaction and a passing glance/unfulfillment without some sort of time-spent measure? And how could that be meaningful in itself? Leave it be. Watching a solved thread continue to accrete posts is … |
| | I see this sort of thing regularly. In the forum page a topic will be bumped up by a poster [name appearing to right]... you go to the post or topic and the bumper's post is just not there. An example, same in FF n Opera: http://www.daniweb.com/hardware-and-software/microsoft-windows/windows-nt-2000-xp/threads/28182/password-recovery-on-windows-xp-home-sp2#post1835562  |
 | Hello, Michael, the fact that when you highlight Korean in the Text Sevices window the Add button is available rather indicates that the system thinks Korean in not already enabled.

 | " I am up to Version 7 Update 4." I have 6.32/5. Latest. Next point. You, in America, need better news feeds. Those are simply awful.

| | In W7 that Readyboost could really only be an easy-to-use method of creating a page file on the flashdrive? It's never going to be actual RAM, but it would be virtual memory. You can do the same in XP, just insert the UFD, go System and thru to the Page … |
| | No, not unless you have a REALLY old machine. Could be a hardware issue. But first, the simple option: go into BIOS setup, the Advanced? section, and learn about the PnP options to reset the data. Else there [may] [is likely to] be an option for the OS to read … |

| | I'd trust Atribune before I'd trust Norton [to do the jobs they say they can]. The first link is safe, so is the file. http://www.atribune.org/downloads/l2mfix.exe So if you are certain that that is your problem with the popups,go ahead and dl it, run it. A brief guide: Save the file … |

| | Use cmd.exe. Go run, type cmd and Enter, and then navigate to the folder using chdir, and then type del this sucker. Do it in safe mode.. not to be any safer but cos no processes would be using it there - no handles to it. Or go get Unlocker. …  |
| | bvm, where did you set the password? In BIOS? There is no advantage in doing that. At what stage is the computer asking for a passsword? Please list the BIOS boot order. If your BIOS settings do not allow for an extended CD detection time of more than say, 20 … |
 | I beg to differ, jb. Under XP, if there is an attempt to open explorer a check is first done to see if it is already running. If so, then a new window is opened via the first explorer instance. A second instance can be opened by checking Launch folder … |
| | I'm not as sweet as nanosani, michael.... and she posts so rarely, so... This problem is often caused by malware, less commonly by a software glitch. To start with, may I suggest that you do this: ==Please download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware from: [url]http://www.majorgeeks.com/Malwarebytes_Anti-Malware_d5756.html[/url] or: [url]http://www.besttechie.net/tools/mbam-setup.exe[/url] =Dclick that file, mbam-setup.exe, to install … |

| | This may sound silly, but you do have TCP/IP enabled as a protocol? (Network Connections > Local Area Connection, Properties). There should be a check next to the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) entry, If that entry is not there, then choose Install, highlight Protocol, press Add.... and go from there.  |
| | Reading thru this thread it becomes obvious that no-one seems to do a system state backup. Ever. Not bragging here, just a bit of guidance: I have a partition which is my Data Store; one folder in it is labelled System State Backup. What is in it? Well, you start … |
 | Probably time to run chkdsk /r from your recovery console, either from your installation cd, or via download from one of: http://www.thecomputerparamedic.com/files/rc.iso http://www.webtree.ca/windowsxp/tools/bootdiscs/xp_rec_con.zip http://www.mediafire.com/?rnuzmyjdwz2 It is an advantage to put the RC onto your systemdrive [C:]; instructions for doing this can be had from Microsoft via search. |

| | Re: BUGS! I could read all the above, else I could just add this: with Opera, cut and paste are not rclick context options. Select and delete, Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V do work. What ads? I don't see any... But I do see every pc that I ever received (and deleted)... deletion is not …  |
| | Simply becaue the tree in the LH pane is a drive and folder view listing only. That is just how it is with Explorer by design. |
 | Pudgee, if you still have the problem then open msconfig, under the General tab check that you are not starting in Diagnostic services only, rather either Normal or Selective. If Selective, the top 3 boxes should be ticked. Under Services tab, if not all boxes are ticked then click the …  |
