In that case, I believe the DVDs were not burned properly, or the DVDs got scratched while in storage. I'm not too sure you can do anything about it now.

(Because) You've lost that lovin' feeling

Road Trip

The pink plug means that it's for the microphone. Green is for the speakers.

You say your display remains blank. Does the BIOS give out any specific sequence of beeps? If yes, either the card or the slot are faulty. Otherwise, check that all connections are tight.

Can you confirm this error on different DVD drives?

Are the ports enabled in the BIOS?

First, scan your system for Viruses and Spyware. Once done, run Windows setup, and choose the upgrade option. This ought to take care of any errors in your XP installation.

Are you sure you're running the task with proper credentials? XP, as you know, requires a valid username/password to run the taask. I'm not too sure about Win2000, but I assume it's the same there too. Be sure to enter a valid username/password.

Louker: When you see the desktop wallpaper, press "Ctrl-Alt-Escape" to launch task manager. Then, click file>new task(run). In the run dialog box, type "explorer" and press enter.

If youaren't using DHCP, make sure you've setup the IP addresses correctly. IF you are using DHCP, make sure your lease timing, DNS and Gateway info is correct.

Also, are your computers able to ping each other? Are they able to ping the main server? Can the server ping the clients?

Yeah. Seems to me that your hard drive is kaput. You may have to pay for the new HD though, if the system isn't under warranty.

Did you activate Vista? I've heard reports that MS is planning to disable certain features in Vista (including the aero thingie) until you activate your copy.

I have a nagging feeling that when Vista ships, the requirements will be higher. For example, I'm pretty sure that an onboard vid card will not run the aero interface. Also, I somehow feel that 1 gig ram will be the bare minimum for Vista.

Just my two cents.

Wouldn't this be a problem with Vista replacing the NTFS access permissions on the folder? If yes, well, I'm not too sure about Vista, but here's the procedure to reset CP's access permissions:

You're right. I actually did start a blog at BlogSpot, but I gave up on the idea. Somehow, the idea of blogs never really appealed to me. But you can be sure that when I find a topic I feel strongly about, I'll write about it.

Yeah. The moment I heard their work, I was hooked. The first album I heard was Scenes from a Memory. It still remains my most listened to albums. You have to love the way the moods progress throughout.

To be perfectly honest, no. I really don't see any noticable diff when the pages load. Using Firefix and IE.

Pardon my ignorance, but what exactly are 'Canned Messages' ?

Interesting features. Looks like someone's been workiing overtime on these.

I suppose I don't write one because

1. I wouldn't know what to talk about
2. I'm too darned lazy to actually write one

However, I do look forward to reading people's blogs. Keeps me informed of what's going on in the tech world.

I guess some guy having a little fun at our expense.

Eternally Confuzzled. heheheh (sorry narue)

That and the fact that cell phones are so often used by men having sex with their GFs. These clips are then circulated on the internet and sent via MMS too. Here in India, there have been numerous cases about such clips doing the rounds. These also include famous celebrities and students. It's shocking the way perverted minds use an otherwise wonderful technology to cash in.

I'm on Dream Theater at the moment. There'Gotta lovve the music, the lyrics, the song...everything. Was on a scorpions kick before this. s

...and we serve with smiles

You said that the problem recurs with the HD connected. Can you see if the problem occurs with the HD connected on another computer? I've seen this problem on a friend's computer. Exact symptoms you described. As soon as I removed his HD, the computer booted up fine. I then ried the HD on my machine, and experienced the same problem. Luckily his HD was under warranty. I suspect your HD.

Yes. Also, since Windows can't see the drive, you'll need to format the drive thru disk management (start>run, type diskmgmt.msc' and press enter). Choose your new drive, rt click on that and choose "Format". Be sure to select NTFS as the file system.

Can yo uconfirm the RAM is working? Test it on another lappy, to be sure.

Here's the most simplistic dish of em all -- a vege cheese sandwish

01.Take 2 slices of bread and apply butter to both slices.
02.Apply moderate quantity of chutney to both slices
03.On one slice of bread, put the onion, tomato and cucumber slices
04.Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste
05.Grate generous amounts of cheese and cover up with the other slice

Enjoy.

Whoops. Sorry for the double post there.

Me, I'm so hooked to Dream Theater these days. Gotta love 'em. Especially tracks like "Home", "The Dance of Eternity", "Strange Deja Vu" and "Metropolis", to name a few.

and i thought i was the goofy one...

are you able to reinstall norton 2005? if yes, reinstall it and then try uninstalling again.

Reinstalling without a source of XP ??? its not possible in my books.

It's not possible. Period.

Go to disk management (start>run, type 'diskmgmt.msc' and press enter)Right click on your HD without the drive letter and select "Add drive letters and paths". Next, click "Add" and select the first availablr drive letter. Do this for all your HDs.

Let's check if the drive itself is a goner or not. Connect the drive to a mobo with an inbuilt SATA controller. If the computer again runs sluggishly, it's a fault with the drive.

We could help you if you could describe in detail what's going on with your computer...

That's kinda illogical, isn't it? How can you call the run box an accessory?

Seaking of Live products, Windows Live Mail sucks big time.

NO sense of smell? Sorry to hear that. Must be hard for you...

Allright. MacGyver it is. Or is it that?

I'm not too sure about that. Since the computer specifically says Disk error, I'm inclined to believe the disk has gone bad. However, there is a possibility that the disk itself is fine, but the controller that's gone bad. I'd recommend you get the device serviced by Sony.

That's the Power Supply Unit. The little box to which you connect the power cable.

actually, my friend had the same problem with his ASUS board. The same model as yours. Turned out the board was faulty. So, if you're sure the drivers are fine, the speaker is fine and the connections are fine, the mobo itself could be bad.

Considering you deleted it a month ago, you can be pretty sure it's deleted permanently. Not even a file recovery app will help you recover the file now. Sorry dude.

Along with good ignore instinxts, I suppose you do need the good ol' ignore button too.

Angus?? The guy's name was Angus? Sheeeshh...

Try resetting the CMOS by removing the battery for 10 minutes. See if this helps.
