 | [QUOTE=raz1108;928183]Does Any one know how to make windows server 2008 sp1 to work with Iomega REV drive 120GB (SATA)?? Because iomega's drivers are not (yet) digitally signed ws2008 does not use them at all instead it loads standard CD_ROM driver which turns Iomega into useless backupdrive :([/QUOTE] Actually looks like … |
 | What on earth are you doing with a Gnome configuration of Suse?? Should be utilising KDE by default, which is much easier to navigate  |
 | The fact that something has scrubbed the recovery partition does not sound good at all :'( Unless you had a really old model running Win 2000, there is no reason what-so-ever you should have required a DVD driver, as XP and beyond are all plug-and-play where they are concerned... and … |
| | To start with, what OS are we talking about? You need to be sure the card reader is supported by your OS, and that drivers are available (and on older system, pre-installed). Also, are your machines fitted with USB2 ports, as if not card reader needs to be USB1 compatible |
| | To be honest, if connected to modem/router, then we can rule out PSK issues. You could look to see if some form of malware has loaded in Proxy settings, but that too is a bit of a stretch if both browsers are effected. Download [URL="http://www.malwarebytes.org/"]MalwareBytes[/URL] to verify you haven't got … |
 | Personally I refuse point-blank to pay $2-3 for water which has cost the manufacturer less than 5 cents, when I can get it out of a tap and purify myself for a fraction of the cost. I think what started as some Yuppie trend, has spread far and wide beyond …  |
| | Bear in bind the nasty little [B]firmware rootkit[/B], that won't go away no matter HOW many times you format and reinstall your OS. Then of course you have rootkits that can hide themselves in a hidden partition, and formatting won't touch them either. Solutions for either type are sketchy and …  |
| | CMOS is correct, but I'm sure the technician knew what he meant (even if a couple of quiet snickers out the back :) ) Do you actually need to reset time at BIOS these days? Have never found the need with modern Windows builds, so long as time syncing hasn't … |
| | Is working on both FF and IE this end. Given the nature of the site, may have been a server issue or possible bandwidth overload caused by too may users. Have you tried again since posting?? |
| | [QUOTE=samabecker;927614]You could always install using a thumb drive :D[/QUOTE] Yes you could, but given the author of post has admitted to not being overly technical, simply telling him that, without any points on [I]how to do it[/I] really isn't that helpful. Personally I think he'll find switching boot priority to … |
| | [QUOTE=Revka;921454]I went to the device manager to see if it needed updating, but it says it's updated, and "working properly." [/QUOTE] That just tells you drivers are installed correctly and device is connected properly. Device Manager won't show if your DVD drive simply won't read the disks. It may well …  |
| | Just as an aside to anyone else coming accross this post, have used TrueCrypt (free, open-source, plays nicely with x64 OS) for a long time now, and has never let me down |
| | You actually need to identify the filter application you are using - stand-alone app, browser plug-in, does it only allow site's added to a white-list or is black-list blocking only? |
| | [QUOTE=balakris;929151] also you have windows vista it requires a graphics card of 1gb for good performance[/QUOTE] Don't know what planet you're living on, but when Vista first came out (and back to beta2), was running on two systems (one was GeForce 7600 GT - notebook, the PC a GeForce 6600), … |
| | Re: Printer drivers [QUOTE=dgknauf;923916]Sorry, 64 bit version of Vista, hopefully upgradable to Windows 7 in a year or so when bugs worked out.[/QUOTE] As an extra, also had same concerns with going x64... been x86 with both XP and Vista. Win7 RC1 x64 runs my hardware [I]better[/I] than either of the other OS's … |
| | Re: home network Also, the other machine won't show up if "file sharing" is not set up on that computer |
| | Re: Keyboard Range In the classroom, I found the [URL="http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/keyboards/keyboard_mice_combos/devices/164&cl=au,en"]Logitech diNovo Media Laser[/URL] has done me proud, with a 30 metre range... apparently Microsoft's BlueTooth gear just as good, with even better battery life. If you can get anything which uses BlueTooth2, the range is fantastic - a much better option than standard … |
 | Re: Windows 7 Hope Maybe because of the fact that the extra time it takes: [LIST] [*]caches processes, reducing CPU loading during actual usage (where speed [i]actaully[/i] counts [*]VASTLY improves system recoverability in the cases of crashes (actually rare in Vista), or because of power failure. [/LIST] Personally I'd rather a slighlty slower boot … |
| | Just be aware that Server 2008 is even more stringent than other Windows releases on the signed-driver issue. @humbll - he already said he knew he couldn't install as "upgrade", so why even make the point?? As to "quick" way - no. An install is an install. I imagine install … |
| | I'm wondering if particular drivers are needed to be loaded before the OS can actually be installed (HDD or RAID perhaps??). I'd be contacting Toshiba support and they should be able to guide you in right direction if this is in fact the case. |
| | To be honest, have always steered clear of iTunes, as it runs like a wounded dog on Windows, especially on Vista. You may like to try on Win7, but this has been a constant irritation for users of many Apple products ported to Windows (the exception being the recent Safari … |
| | Re: indian invasion [QUOTE=sknake;925130]I dont know about invasion but one of the white guys on that picture looks like he was shopped in. His shoulder goes between the guys wrist and shirt and his skin color doesn't match the lighting for the rest of people.[/QUOTE] definitely shopped in - the "halo" effect on … |
| | [QUOTE=nickguletskii;921796]If it had Realtek HD Sound Manager, try reinstalling it. If you did not, try installing it.[/QUOTE] This not the first time I've seen you throw this "tit-bit" out there, and again will pull you up on it. Don't you think you should find out if it actually a RealTek … |
| | Have to concur. I have heard of ways to merge, but been a while so you'd have to Google search it. Not advisable though - anything which crashed one drive would take both out at same time, so a really bad option |
| | Handy little [URL="http://www.fileshredder.org/"]file-shred[/URL] utility... used before with good results. Alternatively a good but not free [URL="http://www.archicrypt-shop.com/"]encrypt-and-shred[/URL] utility. Nothing is fool-proof short of completely destroying drive (despite what you might ee on TV), but both pretty solid options :) |
| | Re: firefox If you don't have Admin privileges, does indicate that not your place to uninstall the app. Should still be able to change default browser via Internet Properties in the Control Panel, if that's all you need (will effect your user account only).... I'm assuming links in a particular application are … |
| | OK. Freezing while using FF tells me you are running out of memory (given that my beloved FF is [I]still[/I] a memory hog, not surprising). [LIST] [*]Install more RAM [*]Use the ReadyBoost option or increase Page-file size as a quick and dirty fix [*]Check to ensure all your drivers are … |
| | Personally the "beep" is quite handy. If finding too loud though, in Vista and Win7, can open up the [B]Mixer[/B] and simply turn [B]System Sounds[/B] down to a more reasonable level. |

| | [QUOTE=tiger025;926555]Only 550MB? That seems insanely good. My Win 7 RC 64bit uses 1GB just idle. Do you really tweak win 7 to get it that low or what[/QUOTE] God-damn, that's way too high. I'd be using [URL="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx"]this[/URL] little utility to find out where the memory is being soaked up. In …  |
| | Re: blue In line with Suspishio, it looks to one of two things: [LIST] [*]A corrupted driver - load up Device Manager to check to see if any drivers showing as faulty of uninstalled [*]Processes not releasing at shut-down [/LIST] As mentioned, look to anything installed before the problem started. Can use … |
| | It has been removed as default and bundled into the "Live" range of utilities instead... probably as response to EU witch-hunt. Still free anyhow, so no real issue [url]http://download.live.com/moviemaker[/url] |
 | Not possible to be running two monitors with separate tasks in the way of two OS's, but yes you can have multiple apps running on either monitor. Have a look at [URL="http://www.realtimesoft.com/ultramon/"]UltraMon[/URL] Will add a fully functioning taskbar to second monitor (minus Sys Tray). Also allows wallpapers to be either … |
| | To be honest, I wouldn't be trusting ANYTHING McAfee was reporting, as has a hopeless hit rate. Apart from running MalwaeBytes, would also be stripping your temp files (including cookies), and also just check to make sure your homepage has not been altered - if it has, you'll need to … |
| | You really need to look for themes for this - built a couple of themes myself up till FF2.0 (Aquatint and Black Japan), but I really don't know of any add-ons that do it. It can't simply be done at css level, as far as I know, and is beyond … |
| | Re: Printer Sharing Has the XP computer running using a PW'ed protected account (same with Vista)? Vista, as a security precaution, won't allow network-connecting unless btwn PW protected user accounts |
| | Check and update your Wireless drivers (including Wireless LAN). What is your system's make and model. The reason I ask this is that some OEM's (HP in particular) just love to pop in their own Wireless management utilities, which can create more problems that they actually rectify |
 | Re: Winsock Error Look, Vista does have a connection repair wizard, which [I]may[/I] give you some more in-depth error reporting. I'd also be inclided to check that you have the latest drivers, as that issue gave me a few headaches of my own when first moved to Vista. More likely though, if you … |
| | Until now, one had to find a 3rd party app to change the logon screen, but MS has enabled the customising of the LogOn UI. Now this tweak is initially turned off, the intention being that the OEM can activate and put their own image in (can you just imagine … |
| | To confer with "jbennet", it its one of those features that if activated - even by accident - will keep loading up from boot till you turn it off via the control panel. |
| | Try using a Knoppix ( linux) live CD (not DVD) to access and copy across your data... it doesn't grow on trees but is easy enough to find ;) |
| | Re: !?!?!??!?!??hd My suspicion is that you've copied across hidden files in the process which keep Windows posted as to volume size. Copying across an [I]entire[/I] HDD is never really a good idea, as you are finding out. |
 | [QUOTE=penthicilea;916369]The windows disk has a warning on it and instructions that will reformat my drive I think.[/QUOTE] Is it an OEM restore disk or a full Windows disk?? If the latter, should be able to run within Windows (not as a boot disk) and run the system repair without completely … |

| | Re: ziggytv just sounds like a corruption of the installer executable during download. Have a look at the file size of the DL'ed file and compare to size listed at DL source. |
| | As mentioned above, open the Start Menu's customisation panel (right-click on an empty area in the right-side of the start menu and hit the "properties" option. From there you can opt to customise the start menu, scroll down and tick the box next to "Run Command". Can also be found … |
| | One question I have to ask (as most users who know better don't run unprotected networks) - are the networks you're trying to connect to even yours?? |
| | I'm assuming you are referring to "sage instant accounts"?? Well, given that most recent release is V15, your issues relate to an that may well never have even been designed for XP, let alone Vista and beyond. You could use the Compatibility options, but given that we are dealing with … |
| | [QUOTE=nickguletskii;921789]It is latest.[/QUOTE] Did you DL the "latest" driver from Acer or Intel. If you are relying on Acer to provide the latest driver, you'll be sorely disappointed. Follow the link [URL="http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/detect.htm"]here[/URL] to use Intel's own tool to verify you have the latest build... if you don't PLEASE UPDATE. Unsuitable … |
