Follow the instructions here to remove the pacimedia program. After running this program, try to do another run with HijackThis and remove the above lines. If we can get rid of those, you will have a clean system.
Once you have finished another scan, irregardless of whether or not it removed everything, install and run full scans with Adaware and Spybot S&D. Doing this will help clean up any remains on the system.
Are you doing all the steps that I listed: running HijackThis from its own folder, clicking "Do a system scan only", checking the checkbox next to each item that I listed, and clicking "Fix checked"? Do you click the "Yes" button on the dialog that pops up asking if you are sure you want to remove the items?
The reason I ask is because items that should be disappearing are not. Make sure that you follow the instructions step by step.
Make sure that you are running HijackThis outside of a temp folder. It looks like you are running HijackThis from WinRAR, unzip the program into its own folder (like c:\hijackthis) and run it from there.
This time, reboot into safe mode and try the process again.
First thing you need to do is see if your BIOS is finding your drive during POST. Do you see your new drive listed during the first startup process after you boot your computer?
If your BIOS isn't finding the drive, you need to enter the BIOS setup and configure it to use the SATA drive.
If your BIOS is finding the drive, you most likely aren't loading the driver that allows Windows setup to see the drive. Your motherboard came with SATA drivers on a floppy disk. You will need to put that SATA driver disk in your floppy drive, reboot, start the Windows XP setup CD, and hit F6 when setup shows "Press F6 if you need to install a third party SCSI or RAID driver". Then you just need to follow the on-screen instructions in order to install that driver so that you can install Windows to the SATA drive.
Do I need to update my BIOS if I use the Maxtor Big drive enabler? The Maxtor Big Drive Enabler software is an operating system patch for Windows and does not affect the BIOS. If your BIOS does not support larger drives, you will need to flash it.
What is the best use of my 4 channels ? Masters, slaves, etc cable select? IDE only allows reading from or writing to one device per channel at a time. The best configuration is up to your preference on how you want the system to work. Drives that will send information between themselves frequently should be put on separate channels.
What are the advantages / disadvantages of 2 file systems? I don't understand your question. What file systems? Are you asking about the differences between FAT16, FAT32, and NTFS?
Is my power supply adequate? Hard drives will not exceed using 20 watts. You're power supply is adequate to handle three hard drives, but that isn't to say that it is adequate to handle three hard drives if you also have many other devices connected to the power supply that draw large amounts of power.
Will my os from the 30 copy to the 200? In order to "copy" from one drive to the other, you need to use a drive cloner like Norton Ghost. You can find out more information about drive cloning here.
There are two cables involved in this process: the IDE cable (the one that connects the drives to the motherboard) and the powersupply cable (many people refer to these as a power molex or just molex).
If you want to explicitly set the master/slave settings, set the one to be master and the other to slave.
You can also use the CS setting on both drives. This is called Cable Select. If both drives are set to CS, the drive that is connected to the last connector on the IDE cable is the master and the one on the middle connector is the slave.
The IDE plug will only connect to the motherboard one way. If you cannot connect the plug to the motherboard, turn the plug around so that it faces the other direction and try again.
If you have a newer IDE cable, you can identify which plug is for what component by the plug's color. The blue plug connects to the motherboard, the grey plug connects to the slave (if your drives are set to CS), and the black plug connects to the master (if your drives are set to CS).
If your plugs aren't colored, you can identify the plugs by their distance from each other. The plug farthest away from the others connects to the motherboard, the middle plug connects to the slave (if your drives are set to CS), and the plug closest to the middle plug connects to …
What purpose would having multiple internal speakers serve? The internal speakers barely do anything as is (other than beep on POST). I would think that adding more than one internal speaker would be anything but pimp.
You should use the HttpURLConnection class for requesting pages through HTTP. This class has a setFollowRedirects method that allows you to tell the class to automatically follow redirects. This class has many methods that you will find very helpful since it gives you the ability to read response messages and header information from the response.
Have you tried installing XP from the machine that has the problem?
Windows XP ties itself tightly to the hardware of the machine and doesn't like it if you completely change your hardware (such as when you take the drive from one machine and slap it in another machine).
This should have been posted in the Viruses, Spyware & other Nasties forum, so it may be moved there. Read the Fixes for Specific Infections thread, follow the instructions for scanning your system with HijackThis, and post the log here. This will give us a detailed view of what is on your system.
If you are going to be using the system primarily for programming, why would you even want to bother with Vista at all? From all the press releases that I've seen, Vista doesn't offer programmers anything more than XP does (actually... from experience, XP doesn't even offer anything more than 2000 does). In my programming classes, having a computer with the least amount of bling, the smallest amount of boot time (keep in mind that you might have to reboot your system frequently if you are working with code that could crash your machine), and the least amount of bloatware and background processes offered me the best performance in class. Now if you are interested in having the coolest machine in class, your speed on compile and run times will take a severe hit. Actually, having a lean, fast machine is always the best choice for a machine that you take to class. There is nothing worse than having a machine crash in the middle of a note-taking session and having to wait two minutes for the machine to finish loading back up.
Other things of note from experience in classes:
Make sure that you have a nice selection of music on your computer and bring a set of headphones when you go to class. There are times when classrooms become free-for-alls. I get easily distracted, so I would never have gotten work done during some classes if I didn't have the ability …
It sounds like you are having more of an SQL issue rather than a PHP issue. If you only want the first ten results (for use in the first page), use the following query:
SELECT * FROM randoms WHERE locality LIKE '$locality%' LIMIT 10
This will return all the data for the first 10 rows.
Use the following query to generate the third page:
SELECT * FROM randoms WHERE locality LIKE '$locality%' LIMIT 20, 10
This use of the LIMIT directive tells MySQL to skip the first 20 records and return the following 10 records.
I'm trying to help a friend of mine recover data from a harddrive that had its partition table corrupted. I have very little experience in this field (when it happens to me, I just start over from scratch) and would like to know if any of you could recommend any software that would work well for retrieving the data. Software that could actually rebuild the partition structure would be great. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
From your experiences that you listed, I don't see how you conclusively decided that it's an issue with your wireless adapter. One way you can check is to remove the card and it's drivers from the system, install a wired NIC card, connect directly to the router using a cable, and try everything that you know usually causes a crash. If a crash happens, it's not the wireless card. Are you able to run this test?
Have you tried running scans to see if your computer has any virus or spyware issues? You can use the link in the bottom of my sig to clean up your machine.
I agree with SimpleJohn that it's most likely a memory problem. If you want to test your memory, you can use either Memtest 86 or Windows Memory Diagnostic.
Download the zip file that is attached in my post. You will find a file named "xp_taskbar_desktop_fixall.vbs" inside the zip archive. After you unzip this file, double-click on it to execute it. Windows might warn you that a script is trying to run. Allow it to run and follow the instructions that the program gives.
This is incorrect. Each row should only have one ID per column. If a Studyarea has more than one CourseID, then there will be more than one row with that Studyarea:
Now you can leave the IDs as concatinated strings, but that breaks database design and requires more work. What you would have to do is use a query to merge the table1 and table2 data, split the values out of the CourseID values, and execute additional queries. I can't see anyone designing a database this way unless they had no idea what they were doing. Is there a reason why you want it to be this way?
P.S. Use code tags so that your data looks nice. It's hard to look at your data when it doesn't line up.
The LIMIT directive can take one or two attributes. If you use one attribute, for example "LIMIT 5", it will show only that many records which get taken off of the top of the list of results. If you use two attributes, for example "LIMIT 10, 5", it will skip the number of records indicated by the first number and then show the number of records indicated by the second number. In other words it's "LIMIT skip, show". So to do what you want, execute:
I guess you could create a form that uses POST and has no visible elements (use hidden inputs). A hyperlink could then use javascript to submit the form. It's not extremely compatible with older browsers, but it could work if you absolutely had to have it work that way.
In case that source is lost, here's the solution for anyone else that may be interested.
To whomever cares, I've got a workaround now. I still do not know for certain if it's a bug or by-design that the cookies aren't used by the plugin. While looking through the Netscape Plugin API (NPAPI), I found a function that one would use to request info from the browser, but no mention was made of cookies. Perhaps it could be used to pass cookies, and perhaps not. The long and short of it is that cookies aren't passed.
What I did to work around the problem was to create a new .aspx page to point the NPAPI plugin at. My <embed> tag points WMP to it and appends the SessionID to the Url. This new .aspx page takes that param and updates the session-cookie that WMP is using, then redirects it to the actual Url to get the video. And, yes, I did take extra precautions to stop people from using this new page as a backdoor into the site; thanks for looking out for me. =)
If you use a structure like this, you can easily maintain the relationships between the classes and attributes this way. This structure uses linked lists to maintain the relationships. I'd also recommend using vectors to groups of similar objects (the children inside a class).
jwenting, you're right that in the OO model, parents don't explicitly know what children they have. It would seem that the instructor is not interested in that. I believe the instructor wants to see if they can store such hierarchal data in a logical structure and pull data back out of it.
Chipsncoke, does this look like a good approach to your problem?
It does it's job, which is important. I do have some suggestions however.
Make it easier for a person to input the time.
Do a series of dropdowns
Allow for the seconds to be optional. If the seconds aren't input, have the program assume 00.
Use a control specially designed for time input
Make the time in the label automatically update each second. You can use a timer control to do that.
Get rid of the color change on rollover. It doesn't look professional and doesn't achieve anything beyond "look what I did".
The Transparent button also doesn't do much. If the window stayed on top, allowed for the creation and maintenance of multiple alarms, and provided information about the alarms, I could see having the ability to turn the window transparent as a feature. As is, the usefulness of that is nil.
Having the window disappear and only being able to cancel the alarm by using the Task Manager isn't a very good design. You might want to put a bit of research into how to put the program in the systray so that it can be accessed from there after an alarm is made.
LOL... I sent Dell a pre-sales question about whether or not any of their systems supported dynamic fan speeds as dcc suggested. I was curious if your system had that or not (I don't think that it does). I received a very technical tech support response about how to open up the machine, find the fan that was noisy, and how to clean it properly. I love how Dell, one of the largest sellers of PCs, can turn a simple pre-sales question into a tech support question and not answer any of my actual questions.
Wireless access points have a very limited range. The fact that you were able to get a signal at all from that range is amazing. Wireless networks are meant to be local solutions, not long-range solutions similar to cellphone networks. If you want to use a wireless connection away from home, you need to have a local access point to connect to.
yea.. none of the programs are listed on my add or remove programs menu and the site that is on there no longer exists, if anyone knows how to get rid of the LOP on my computer than tell me.. thanks
Use this guide to clean up your machine. It starts with an array of virus scans, then goes through numerous in-depth spyware scans, and finally helps you clean up processes that are either security risks or bog your system down. You should be able to run all these tools from Safe Mode. Let me know if you have any success or if you need more assistance.
P2P is Peer-to-peer. It refers to programs like eMule, Kaaza, etc. I don't think that's your problem.
Do the following: click Start, select "Run...", type "sfc /scannow", click OK, and let the process finish. After the process has finished and you have handled any dialog boxes that popup from the scan, check IE and see if it works better.
If IE still seems slow, use this guide to clean up and optimize the system.
See if you can run the three following commands from that prompt:
chkdsk /r
chkdsk /p
fixboot c:
If you can't run those from there, you will have to get your hands on a XP install CD, use the Recovery Console, and run those commands from there.
If the eMachine is like most other machines that have recovery disks, it puts a "ghost image" of the drive in factory condition on a separate partition. It sounds like that partition got corrupted. If you manage to get the machine running, schedule a scandisk with all the options enabled for each partition and reboot the machine. This will scan the partitions and fix the problems.
There technically isn't a way to open Windows in DOS-mode. In order to repair your machine you will need to get a Windows 2000 disk or installation disks for another operating system (such as Windows XP). There reason for this is it would seem that some of your system files were corrupted. The only way to fix these files is to repair them from a source that has good copies of them (the installation CD).
Go to Tools, Internet Options, select the Security tab, click "Custom Level...", and see if anything under the "ActiveX controls and plug-ins" section is set to Disabled. If anything is set to Disabled, don't change it to Enabled; rather, change it to Prompt.
Marking a partition as active makes it the drives bootable partition. Each drive can only have one active partition.
Unfortunately, Windows doesn't come with any tools that can resize partitions without first removing the ones that exist. There are good third-party tools that allow you to resize partitions without recreating them. My personal favorite is Partition Magic. These tools often times cost money, but there are free alternatives. If you really want to use a free alternative, then I'd recommend NTFSResize. Read the FAQ question "How to resize NTFS without data loss?" for more information.
Have you tried doing as the error said and run "Add New Hardware"?
Do you have a PCI or a built-in soundcard? If you have a PCI soundcard, what brand and model number is it? If you have a built-in soundcard, what model and brand is your motherboard?
