 | Hiya and welcome. You'll find, in the menu list at left, a link to the 'Web Development' section. Find the appropriate subsections there and you can ask all the questions you like :D Cheers  |
 | Identify the make and model of your laptop. Visit the manufacturer website and check their support section for information about your particular laptop. There will possibly be information provided there which tells you haw to restore system files, reapair Windows etc on that laptop. Many laptops have the system and …  |
| | What make and model number is the laptop please? The manufacturer's website is the place to get the appropriate drivers. |

| | I've moved this to Hardware, where it belongs. Actually, there's one more bit of information in that report that gives a hint: [QUOTE] DAC type: Internal DAC(400MHz)[/QUOTE] With video RAM operating at 400MHz, the alternatives are limited to a 'vanilla' 9600 or a 9600SE. 'Vanilla' cards are actually rather rare, …  |
| | What operating systems are installed on the two systems? A simple network using only a crossover network cable, as mentioned, is one method, if both systems have ethernet capability. If the PC has a CD burner, then that is also a cheap and easy method. (If it hasn't then it … |
| | Your link only led to an index page on that site, so it's unclear just what you have been using. The device you need, however, is called a 'USB external drive caddy'. You should ensure that it accomodates a 2.5" IDE drive, if that is what's used in your laptop. |
| | Memory check during bootup is being referred to there. |
 | Re: disk cloning What you describe won't work anyway, so don't bother. If you have Windows 98, the system will not boot from the SCSI drive. If you have Windows 2000 or Windows XP, the boot files will need to remain on the current C:\ drive for the system to boot successfully. I'm … |
| | Re: WinFS for XP? Printed magazine content is usually written many weeks before publication. WinFS will not even be fully implemented in Loghorn, according to more recent reports. |
| | Woulda been best to do an 'In place upgrade' if you wanted to leave programs and files in place. [url]http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;315341&Product=winxp[/url] Pruning Registry entries is only for two types of user: * Very advanced, knowledgeable users * Foolish users. |
| | caperjack has the right idea. You need to change the boot order in BIOS setup to make CD-ROM the first boot device. If your copy of Windows 98 doesn't allow for booting from the CD (some don't) then you'll need a Windows 98 startup diskette to boot from, and you …  |
| | Boot into Safe mode. Run the spyware programs from there to remove stubborn intruders. From within Safe mode, uninstall any crappy downloaded programs. If "the missus" is like many other "the missuses" (sorry for the stereotype there people - I was referring to an androgynous 'the missus') then there's bound … |
 | Yes, but if it's a cheap, generic PSU you mifght still have stability problems. but then, you can have stability problems with generic PSUs regardless of their wattage.  |
| | Uninstall the soundcard. Uninstall Media Player. Uninstall any other 'player' software you might have there. Reinstall your soundcard. Reinstall Media Player. See if it works. Follow the advice in the "Helping Yourself: What to do first" topic in the Security Forum section to deal with the spyware etc. issues you … |
| | Did this problem recently occur? If so, what happened prior to the problem? Has this system ever worked for you? |
| | Whilst I would certainly not use the type of terminology in the previous post, i'd certainly have to agree with the basic thrust of it. When a relationship has broken down to the extent that husband and/or wife are playing 'spy games' and using surveillance techniques on each other, then …  |
| | Hi Gary and welcome to Daniweb. I'm pleased to see that you've found our 'Viruses and Nasties' section, and have posted your question there. I'm sure you'll receive good assistance :D |
 | Unless the original hard drive is malfunctioning, you can add the new drive as a secondary one as others have said. There is no need to replace the original if it still works. |
| | Re: Running too hot? I'd suggest you stop using that PC until it's looked at. Sounds like it has an overheating problem or alternatively has a faulty display card. But it could be that the processor has been incorrectly installed, without adequate thermal transfer compound used between chip and heatsink. Impossible to be specific, … |
 | LOL. Here in Australia we no longer have $2 banknotes. We've replaced them with $2 coins, and it works well. This story made me think of the news report I saw last night, where a Chinese tourist to the US had his undies blown up, despite the fact that his …  |
| | hmmmmm....... PROGMAN.EXE is included in the System Folder with Windows 95, and I think it might be still lurking in Windows 98, but it's certainly not a part of Windows XP. Where'd you get it from? |
| | Did you install all the Windows Updates again? There are some (early) updates which address issues that may cause this behaviour. |
| | Quite a simple one to avoid. Simply put, Firefox/Mozilla users should not accept update code being installed unless it comes from update.mozilla.org This thing can only get in if you OK the install ;)  |
| | Just gave this a good read through, and it seems to me that the most helpful piece of advice of all hasn't been posted in the topic! Service Pack 2 should be taken seriously. It's virtually an OS upgrade, after all. The service pack replaces just about all of your … |
| | I doubt very much that her "graphics card has gone kabluie". I think it's much more likely that she's inadvertantly changed settings and instructed Windows to use a different display adaptor driver. She's most likely changed the setting to 'Standard VGA Adpator'. |
| | Sounds like system corruption which has resulted from infection by a trojan or other 'nasty'. Try following the advice in the stickied topics in our 'Viruses and Nasties' section, and if that doesn't correct the situation try a refresh install of Windows. |
| | Wrong, trucker dude. Can't boot from a floppy when the 'pooter won't POST  |
 | Here's an even neater trick: [url="http://www.pcuser.com.au/pcuser/hs2.nsf/web/8B33149C69D9DDC9CA256DD4003C598F"]Create a desktop icon to Shut down, restart or Log off![/url] |
| | Thanks for resurrecting this, cargenius. I missed it earlier, and reading it has given me a good giggle! If that receiver/stereo/whatever has an inbuilt surround sound amp, then ANY stereo soundcard can be used with a suitable cable. A better card will produce better sound, of course, but Prologic only … |
| | This should have been placed In the Windows NT, etc Forum Section |
| | I thoroughly endorse this product! In fact, that's a tip I've been passing on for ages. It's an old trick and a goodie. doesn't work every time, of course, but when it does it's bloody wonderful! |
| | grumpyhugs, I can absolutely assure you that the yellow lines are not a 'feature' of Windows XP! Without further information, it's impossible to tell you anything more useful. It would help for you to let us know some of the 'specifications' of your system - Motherboard ID, display card, and … |
| | Re: XP control panel You must have 'Classic View' enabled for Control Panel, rather than 'Category View'. If so, you only need to select 'Power Options' :D |
| | Hiya Kiel, when you finish getting that system going again, you should take up Case Modding as a hobby, and learn from this fella about the techniques you'll need to use: [url]http://www.motherboards.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=40798[/url] [QUOTE]at the back of the power supply is a little red switch, I flick it, hear a small … |
| | err... uummm...... Dani most certainly has a 'life'. She's currently completing some studies, looking after her Mum, and all sorts of other wonderful everyday life activities. And like most people who operate sites like this I'm sure she has at least one computer running 24/7 and logged into here. Heck, … |
 | Amen to that! ;) Here's one 'Grandad' who NEVER plans to 'grow up'. Not enough fun around the kids when you do that. :D  |
| | Old problem. Simple answer. Delete temporary internet files. In Internet Explorer click on: Tools - Options - General - Delete files |
| | Re: Pakistani?? My sister-in-law is an ex-patriate Pakistani, but unfortunatelt I've been corrupting her for many years now, to the extent that I wonder if she'd be welcomed back! :lol: |
| | Depending on climate conditions 24 Celsius is quite believable, especially with a decent heatsink/fan. I've an overclocked 2500+ here that seldom gets above low 30s idle on even hot days ;) Is that 512Mb of RAM 1 module or two? Which memory slot(s) are used? |
| | No, the expense was unwarranted, considering you could have used freely available forum software. The site has very few members, no theme nor clear indications of purpose, and no content other than a small number of "Hello" type messages. $85 seems an expensive way for a few friends to say … |

| | Re: Computer Support Hi Jackie. I'm happy to give you two bits of advice: * Head to our 'Security' forum section and read through the "Helping Yourself" topic stickied near the top of page. Work your way through it and use the suggested tools to clean up your system. Those 'search' thingys you … |
| | Hi Davy Mac. I'm unaware of any way you can stop that happening, and I've hardly ever seen it happen in Windows XP. I suspect it's older software you are using which makes it happen. The reason is poorly written programs, basically. Programs work in complicated ways, and sometimes they … |

| | Hi everybody, I'm sure that most of you will have noticed that our Blogs are now much more prominently featured at Daniweb. Selected entries from the Blogs are featured on Daniweb's home page as 'News Stories'. We'd like to be able to feature more of them, so we'd encourage you … |
| | I'm a bit puzzled by this. The new design provides tabs above the search bar which allow people to go directly to the forum section they wish to visit. There's really no need any more to view a full forum index. |
The End.
