Ah.. I find comfort in that, caper. The world is safe.. some people are not obsessed by computers, to them they are mere tools. Ripper.

true ,most are fine as long as they can get onto Pogo Games or facebook , I once sold a tower [theirs crashed ]to a guy who drove about 100 miles to my place ,so his wife could get on pogo and leave him alone .lol

ok i just did a quick read , don't fully under stand he problem ,in safe mode why not just create a new user ,and use that !or is there more to this problem than my pea brain is absorbing !

more people use IE because its on the box when they buy it ,and have no idea how to or for that matter tat they can actually install another browser , I fix computers and hang out at local computer shop when not working or fix computers at home ,and when I ask people what browser they use the answer/question back is whats' as browser ! in short the majority haven't got a clue !My favorite user question isn't browser related but it goes like this ,jack i put a cd in the cdrom drive and nothing happens ,how do i get the file of the cd,or the cd to open , I say did you go to mycomputer and click on the cdrom icon !Answer usually goes like this wheres mycomputer ,oh , hey it worked ,thanks !!!! that comes from new users and people who owned the computer for 5 to 10 yrs !

i tried the long post again and it turns black part way down ,last nite it worked fine

it loaded the long page no problem ,and my pages here load quite fast, no problem , i do have problem with speed on occasions on this site and the long post, just not right now

Firefox does NOT like DW. I don't know why, but one particular symptom is tha it cannot render pages containing a long post.
Opera copes admirably.. no problems at all.

i use latest firefox and useto have that problem with long post.it seems to work fine now

.(What are those for, any way? PM me on that)

you could win the Dani boobie prize at the end of the year .lol

you didn't pay your dues!lol
mine works ok

Copy your post and private mail to Beastmanh.

what does that have to do with ? are G and N compatible ,oh by the way yes is the answer

old laptops not worth spending money on ,you can buy new for as low as 399.00 here in Canada ,
I have old p3 450 IBM ,its new condition, never used laptop , with dead battery ,new batt on ebay is about 75.00 + 30.00 shipping ,not gonna happen for me ,i only paid a few dollars for the laptop,its just not worth the 100.00 to me to buy a battery ,the laptop works fine plugged in ,and i rarely use it any way ,anyone wanna buy it

monitors have a refresh and resolution limit ,you may be able to find what your monitors is,with a google search of the make and model number ,
my opinion is the monitor is so old ,it cant handle the refresh rate and the high resolution you have set.edit found this if this is yours then see infoTechnical Details,http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Dynaflat-Syncmaster-955DF-Monitor/dp/tech-data/B00004Z9FF/ref=de_a_smtd/175-7614218-2856617

* 1,600 x 1,200 maximum resolution at 68 Hz
* 0.20-millimeter horizontal dot pitch
* DynaFlat "infinitely flat" tube
* Smart III antistatic and antiglare surface treatment
* PC and Mac compatible
----
remember its 7 yrs old and getting tired

resolution is one thing what is the refresh rate set at .

yeah ,but you gotta be quick

xp doesn't usually have drivers for sound as default ,you need to install drivers for your device .
go to device manager and check if there are any yellow or red ! in the list for sound

one time i use my digital camera in movie mode and recorded the bootup. then stopped video on blue screen ,while viewing it in windows media player ,to get the stop error message,then did chkdsk /f in recovery console and fixed the computer

could be a driver problem with winxp, as computer was designed for win98 and win2000,

unless they are using os below win2000 there are no update sound drivers .according to this site .

hi,welcome, what version of windows are you using ,
try uninstall it and rebooting computer to reinstall the drivers .

uninstall the drive from device manger and reboot and let it reinstall the drive ,if still the same maybe you could check the cables on the driver or borrow another drive to see if it act the same way

like i said, its not possible

office versions prior to 2002(xp) did not store the key as there was no need to (no product activation), they merely checked if it *seemed* to be a valid key at install time

Oh,my version is 03

It works with win98, but still does not give the serial number for office. I guess will just leave it alone.

Thanks everyone.

then it didn't work ,it should give the key in software licenses near the bottom

in IE7 go to tools /manage add-ons ,and make sure that the ones for sound are enabled

In device manager PCI Device has a yellow question mark, and states the drivers for this device are not installed.
===========
this is usually the mother board chipset drivers ,find them on motherboard disk or mb's makers web site

I am using VIRUS SCAN PLUS which is the programme that person previously had

yeah, but you both are having the same problem with the security center !

thanks caperjack, but that is a similar but different problem. .

from the link =
I upgraded from Virus Scan 7.0 to Internet Security Suite 6.0. Everything worked fine except security center. When I click on security center all I get is a blank screen.
from your first post=

I understood the poster already tried sfc /scannow but the command prompt disappeared without any message?

i realize that ,it quickly disappears sometimes because it not run from cmd ,just the run command ,happens with regedit and other commands ! humor me and try it before you reinstall vista

I use task manager and type in command to do my works.

type in CMD and then ,sfc /scannow , to see if it will keep running sfc,you will need you winxp cd to replace missing of corrupt system files,

i guess you will have to download the programs on another computer and use a usb thumb drive to get them to your computer and install them,if they will not install ,just change the name of the file ,be sure not to change the extension,and try installing again

Ok. I will format the HDDs, reinstall OS, and re-create the RAID. I will get back to you how this goes, if the hang is fixed or not. I will begin backup of data now.

I don't have any spare drives so I can't do your idea.

if you have a lot of data ,and new data all the time, a raid -0 is really not recommended for you !if raid fails you will lose all data on both drives ! or something like that !

My PC Repair store owner and I differ about this method he reformat and charged the job out.

I to like to fix the problem ,my own ,,but for the store owner its not cost effective to try and fix the problem anymore as it can take days ,as shown by how long its taking you to fix this one .imagine if the store owner did this with the many computers he get to fix ,there would not be enough time in his week to fix them all ,so format is the most efficient way to fix it !

can u tell me the name of the driver on that site? please

no ,sorry you should be able to figure that out,use you service tag on the site i posted and it will list the drivers for you laptop !
i have no way of know what ones are correct if there is more than one to choose from for anyone device ,
the ones with yellow ! are clearly marked as,network adapter / video device /or sound/audio device ,ect ect

went to my computer/properties /hardware/device manager there are no red or yellow mark, 1394 net adapter is there.
but other devices under the network adapter,it has yellow marks(like ethernet controller,multimedia audio contrller,PCI Device, PCI Modem, Video Controller)

1394 adapter is a firewire adapter ,
you need to go to the dell site i posted above and download and install drivers,for all the devices with the yellow marks ,like sound/video/network adapter ,motherboard chipset and so on ,if you don't know how to do this then take it to someone who does

I am trying to connect to the internet throght comcast high speed modem

how ,wired or wireless

ok, right click on mycomputer,go to properties /hardware/device manager ,and make sure the network adapter is installed ,hit the + by network adapter and see what it says .make sure there are no red or yellow ! marks next to it ,if there is then the drivers aren't install for the network adapter ,then go to dell site to get drivers ,

there has to be something in the roxio program settings /preference to stop it from being the default burning program .if not ,i would uninstall it,use regedit or a registry cleaner like ccleaner to clean it from the registry , then reinstall roxio,you should be asked about file association ,if so deselect all listed if they are checked off ! this worked for me with Nero ,haven't used Roxio though in about 8 yrs

i would leave it at win2000 if i were you

Kraai ,is correct ,this link has it page by page ,just click for next screen ,and if you need to start over the link in the last one in the list on the left.
