hi, can you right click on the desktop and choose new and choose shortcut ,and create a regular shortcut .if yes,highlite the url,[copy it ] to the website you want to shortcut and paste it into the new shortcut,give it a name ,and away you go .

I didnt expect this kind of comments.

tell you what ,ill try it tonight and let you know how it goes .im thing it will load and run,but i could be wrong ,but there will likely be no drivers for anything in the tower

hi,My Compaq presario does not read CD & DVD

hi, not much info to go on ,what is exact model#.is it a desktop or laptop ,when did it stop reading the disks .
did you do anything yet to try and fix it ,besides comeing here and tell us its not reading dvds'or cds'
check device manager to make sure correct drivers are installed

so it still boots to linux so it must still be a functioning bios ,can you enter the bios and set to defaults,save settings ,then boot to it again and set the boot order to your liking

Being on for barely three seconds is not enough time for it to overheat because of the fan running poorly (the does run however).

oh yes it is!a cpu can get hot instantly and not turn .

i have hp dv9000 here that would not even turn on[not mine belongs to a customer of mine ] ,just light up all the lights on it ,it was left running on a bed overnight,after that it would not even turn on , and has not run until i took it apart ,used a butane torch on the video chip and added paste to both the video chip and processor ,it now runs,i used it last night for over 1 hr, so far so good !

I know it works well, mainly I would like to have more ram for him. I just did not know if the 64 bit os would make a cpu work any harder for no reason just to make the 1GB not worth it.

my laptop is a Compaq G50 series ,cpu is a AMD Athlon duel core QL-60 1.9gHz,4gig ram .and it works grat for what i do ,internet and burning dvd's
i duel boot ,32 and 64 bit win7 ultimate ,,and for what ever reason im not sure the 64bit does work slower ,or at least it seems to ,i actually don't use the 64 bit that ofter .

I guess i was a but too rash just now. But seriously his post makes no sense.

" I dont think that Both google and chrome are same. they are different "

What? This is a forum that discuss about web browsers, google chrome is a web browser what is google and chrome? It just do not make any sense!

google is a search engine ,before google Chrome ,when you said google you meant search,poster may didn't realize that Chrome was a google product

What the hell are you talking about?

be nice now ,post just miss under stood the ?

sound like it could be the back light ,try hooking it up to a desktop monitor or even shine a flashlight on the screen ,to see you can see windows image

Looks like everything is done.
Even that long outstanding update.
Must congratulate you on that.
Microsoft said that that could only be done with
a repair install which I dreaded.
Can't believe that this problem is finally sorted after
all this time.
Well done, and thanks a million!

your quite welcome, glad it all worked out for you, i think the key was finding the
net framwork cleanup tool .
happy computing

maybe install 2.0 first see if it takes,get it here .
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=19

The usual update KB2416447 failed to install 3 times.
It is the only outstanding update.

try method #2 here ,get the removal tool and 3 versions of. net framework install one at a time,restarting computer ,then try windows update again .
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923100/

I could download the repair from Filehippo again if you think it might help.

or give windows updates another try or 2 .

the file in question is a mpeg-2 .ts video file .
i think jingdas' second link is the one to check out ,kind of where i was going in my last post about typing in the file extension ,because computer is not set to show extensions of known files .

Didn't report anything back - good or bad!

Good ,means it found nothing corrupt or did find some and fixed them. any change in how the computer is working

check event viewer ,for some info on the errors.

Hello everyone..
I have recorded a video from my satellite digital receiver device on a USB flash disk..
After I plugged the USB disk into my computer, I noticed that the name of the file contained unusual characters (I've taken a picture of the file and put it in the attachments).. I tried to rename the file, move it, and copy it, but my attempts were all in vain!
Could anyone kindly help me?
Thanks in advance.

when you change the name are you tying in the file extension ".ts"

linux section of daniweb best place for linux questions .
http://www.daniweb.com/hardware-and-software/linux-and-unix/12

don't forget the power supply has to have a sata plug or adapter as well,and you can still but large ide drives .just google it

not sure why but way back when it seemed to do something ,that might have been before some many devices were addins ,not onboard, the more i thing about it ,it also removed the power from the motherboard caps and addins card caps ,so everything was shut down completely,what ever ,i don't know !!! lol

me thinks resetting a power supply means, on plugging from the main power source and holding the computers power button in for about 40-60 seconds,it drains power from the psu ,no need to remove it from computer

change ur RAM. u have 2 RAM means. Remove one Ram and try it. it happens only RAM problems

hi newbie poster ,welcome to daniweb please check dates on threads you want to help with ,this one was last posted to in April 2008 thank you

Also, can someone help with my drivers issue for linux. What do/supposed to do?

use google.com and search for linux driver for each device you need drivers for linux .

also i think linux would be a shock to the owner not a surprise!
whows going to help them learn how to use it and enjoy it ?

Tried the link again first, but results were the same.
When I followed the above instructions and clicked on
sfc /scsnnow
nothing really happened.
There was a brief flash like you get when you engage chk disc.
Still receiving original error message from Microsoft.

just rereading and noticed a typo on my part with this info .my laptop keyboard needs to be replaced ,one day .

anyway ,it should be .
"sfc /scannow" with out the " of course ,not sfc /scsnnow

Thank you.

your welcome

are the jumpers on the drive set correctly

i want create a new windows 7

give it a try ,maybe you'll get it better than Bill Go it.lol

you could copy your favorites to a thumb drive .using a external hard drive is just a suggestion
good luck

funny thing to me is almost every comment made on the site had a problem ,and you still went and tried to do it .

try booting to safe mode and do a system restore back a few days

did you try uploading to a file sharing site like this one .
http://www.filehosting.org/

but it's made in China.

isn't it all made in china, i removed a motherboard from a hp laptop last week and it had made in china sticker on it

Many thanks.
Really appreciate all your help.
Xp machine may be nearing the end of the road.
Will read up on reinstall/repair and see where to go from
there.
Sincere thanks again.

good luck ,i did a repair install just last night on client computer ,everything remained the same ,you have to reactivate windows and reinstall windows updates ,in my case the computer went back to sp2,so i had to install sp3 and after that some 93 updates ,but client never lost any personal data ,and it fixed all corrupt windows files and got rid of a black screen bootup

so no infections found ,not sure were to go from here, as it seems your windows install has many issues ,if it were mine or one i was working on for a customer or friend i would do a repair install of xp.
if your interested info here .

direction on this site .
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/how-to-use-malwarebytes-anti-malware-tutorial

you have real issues with you install of windows /even a virus perhaps .

sfc should have run with out issues .

have you scanned you computer for viruses /trojans lately .
if not ,try www.malwaresbytes.org .run full scan,view rsults/ fix suggested ,and post the log back here .

when you get back try ,try a system file recovery ,going to start /run and type in ,sfc /scsnnow ,note there is a space between the c and /,it may ask for the xp cd

my bad miss under stood the post ,
here is direct download of the update that failed ,see if you can download it and install it without error .
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=17440

Thanks caperjack, I posted here thinking it might be an issue with my Win7 x64 install given that it is a windows DLL that is giving me grief. I will try posting there too and see if anyone else has had the same problem.

it may well be a win7 issue ,now you have both areas covered ,helpers who code and helper who know win7 and code ,[me no one of them ] good luck

Download completed successfully.

after the download did you run the install of dot net framwork 4.0
the main reason for downloading it direct was to avoid having to get it through windows updates

Went to Microsoft site to check for updates.
There was 4 updates for this but the first one failed.
The other 3 were successful.
The information on the failed one was:
Windows Xp Vista and Windows Server 2008 x 86
KB2416447 failed.
It referred of course to >net framework.

look up across the top , ,we are in hardware software section ,next to it is "software development",you should post there for best results ,most of the folks there don't come here ,good luck

did you try one of the older versions ,scroll down a a bit and try 3.0 or 3.5 maybe

i googled this from your post ,"Application NDP1. 1sp 1" and found its a windows hotfix ,to do with, dot net framework ,one suggestion was to install latest dot net framework ,would a try cant hurt anyway.get it here ,
http://www.filehippo.com/download_dotnet_framework_4/

are you running window xp sp3

not to butt in but does the blue screen cause the computer to shut down.reason i ask is because there was once a fake blue screen from a virus/trojan that went away when you moved the mouse

try booting to your winxp cd and go recovery console and run a check disk ,
at the command prompt type in with out the "",and a space between the k and /
"chkdsk /r"

Caperjack you spelt power supply wrongly although it is a minor error:D

i told thata doctor he puta that finger backa on in the wronga spot , lol

Any idea's what might be the cause or to find out what the cause is?

suggestion were made to upgrad you video carrd =you done that ,
also suggested to add more system ram and a better poawer supply ,you didn't do that .

download and use hardware monitor ,run it run game it will show how hot all hardware gets .just click on the big download now icon

stop it all ready ,he doesn't need to reinstall his windows !
he just wanted to do so because he thought it would make photo shop work again

it's a tablet for god's sake...

everyone knows that now,what the discussion is about now is the quality of the one in the OP link

well I know what to do if I ever find a low cost R50 Thinkpad

no, that site was about a R60,poster said they had a R50 and didn't ,so in fact we don't know if the R50 has the same board as the R60 ,confused !!!

i based my last comment on this thread ,seems to make sense now .
