I agree with you AD, but for the sake of discussion, there can be laws that are immorral, and to change them, sometimes they have to be broken.

Take ObamaCare for example. I don't have health insurance because I can't afford the $250 a month it costs. My kids are on state insurance due to the small amount I make. If someone comes to me and tells me I have to give them $250 a month for something I can't afford because I must have it, I'm going to tell them to go pound sand. If I NEED to have it, pay it for me.

I have $250 ... Am I going to spend it on health insurance or food?

This is assuming you aren't using a proxy server. Go to internet explorer > tools > internet options > connections.

Verify never dial a connection is selected. Click LAN settings. Nothing in there should be checked.

If that looks ok, try rebooting the PC.

You can also try going to a command prompt, and type in ipconfig /flushdns although if programs work across the internet and it's just the browser that isn't working it might not help.

If the connection appears to be spotty, it may also be a bad wire or NIC card.

Have you ever looked at a paper clip
I mean, really stop to look?

Have you ever seen how it can
Hold together the pages of a book?

Have you ever looked at a paper clip
When it shines under the light, huh?

Have you ever put it on your finger
And watched it hold on tight?

Anyone can look at a rainbow
Anyone can look at the sky
To see that those things are pretty
You don't really have to try

But, have you ever seen how a paper clip
It's so ... I don't know. So flat, huh?

Have you noticed how it keeps on bending
And say "Why, now, look at that!"

If you stopped and looked at a paper clip
For just a minute or two
You might get to love a paper clip
The way that I do

Currently I have my PS3, my PC, and my router. Not much of a home network, but I'm hoping to expand to two PC's come XMas, figure a way to wire my 42" LCD TV to my computers, pick up another monitor for my new computer desk and a KVM switch to use dual monitors.

I'd like to get a third PC as well, and set up a web server, but that'll be for another day and several books later.

When a server sends out a package to a station on the LAN, it has a MAC and IP address associated with it. If the Server is looking for IP 172.112.11.121 it will look to see what segment it happens to be on, then send it on it's way with the corresponding MAC address attached to that package.

Once it gets to the next network device, it verifies the MAC address in the package matches the MAC address of the device. It then checks the IP address to see if that matches. If it doesn't, it will forward it to the next network device with the appropriate MAC address. This continues until the IP & MAC address in the packages matches the network device.

right click computer, select properties, click device manager, look for you hardware, or hardware with an exclamation in a yellow triangle next to it. Right click it and update drivers.

It sounds like you just need to install drivers for the products.

@will8787:

Whats the error on the blue screen? If you can take a screen shot of it and post it here, someone might be able to better help. Without knowing what the error is, it could be a driver error. What's your operating system?

I think I resolved my own issue, but I'll leave the thread open until I'm able to actually test it with a customer.

Solution:

Lock computer
Go to the lower left corner, and click the icon that looks like a circle with 1/4 chuck taken out of it.
If there is a check mark in "If I press keys repeatedly, ignore extra presses (Filter Keys)" remove it. <-- if there's a check in this box, it locks out the keyboard on the login screen.

Is there a way to turn off the hp2730 keyboard?

I work for an IT Help Desk and have been rolling over customers to the new hp2730. I've gotten quite a few calls from people saying they can't ctrl+alt+del to log into the laptop and the only thing I can think of is the keyboard has been shut off. I just don't know how it was shut off.

A reboot fixes the problem, but rebooting these machines takes about 5-10 minutes due to the software on them. I'm trying to find a quicker alternative to rebooting the machines since the job these customers are in is time sensitive.

I've looked, but there doesn't seem to be a function key that shuts the keyboard off. If I convert the laptop to a notebook and bring up the on screen keyboard, it still doesn't deactivate the keyboard.

Are you buying the parts seperatly and assembling it? I personnaly haven't bought a case for a PC I assembled myself in quite awhile. I have been given enough PC's in my time to just reuse cases and cut holes in them if I need more fan space.

If you need to buy a case, you can ebay one, or buy one from a local PC shop probably at a cheaper price than buying one brand new. It's not what it looks like, it's how it works :)

If your BIOS was gone, it would not run or load, and it would display on your monitor as an error - BIOS checksum error and drop you to a prompt.

To fix it, you'd need to boot from a floppy and provide the correct BIOS and flash utility. Most BIOS chips have a small section which will enable someone to boot from a drive. I've never had to play with this, but it entails moving a jumper to certain pins. This web site has more info on that.

Your problem sounds more like the monitor, a loose wire, or the video card isn't seated properly or not functioning. If you hear the start up of windows, etc, it's most likly a loose wire somewhere.

if you can plug the hard drive into another computer, run chkdsk /r /f [driveletter]:

It may take a day to complete, but it may repair the OS.

Another option is to try a recovery of the OS instead of a complete install.

You have the understanding of variables incorrect ... looking at line 11 of your last post

char A,B,C,D,E,F;

This creates undelcared variables of A, B, C, D, E, and F. There is nothing in these variables. until you set them to something, they can't be used. You need to initilize them like so.

char A, B;
A = 'A';
B = 'B';
//etc

in line 21, the user will enter an a value for ans1. You will need to convert his input to an upper case letter (per instructions). This is done by using the toupper function.

ans1 = toupper(ans1);

I also think you need to #include <cctype>.

now that we have your ans1 in upper case, and your A,B,C,D,E,F variables initialized, you can start your comparisons.

In line 23,24,25 you have

if (ans1== A){
          A =5;
          }

What are you doing here? A is your 'A'. A is a character, not an integer. You need a score. A is a grade. A is not a number. What you are looking for here is

if (ans1== A){
          score = 5;
          }

In line 39, you have

F==0; // double equals, you need one and it should be score, not F.

And at the end of that if/else you have

else       
    cout << "\nInvalid!!" <<endl;
    cout << "Enter answer for question 1:";
    cin >> ans1;

As per the instructions of the homework, you need to terminate the program in this else statement.

I can't find the beep codes for the AMD, but I believe it may be the video card isn't seated properly or your memory is going bad, or the power supply could not be giving enough watts to support everything.

The most likly culprit would be the powersupply since it works fine until you tax your CPU. What's the wattage on your powersupply?

Without having a higher wattage powersupply, it'll be hard to test that though. Try pulling memory and running with certain ones. You can check task manager performance to see how much memory is being used, and what you have left when the beep occurs. You can also test your memory using:
http://oca.microsoft.com/en/windiag.asp
http://www.memtest86.com/
http://www.simmtester.com/

I have yet to use one of them, so you'll have to walk through it and try to figure out how to use them.

If you get repetitive beeps, your CPU is overheated.
If you get alternating high/low beeps, your CPU could be seated wrong or is defective.

Try installing more fans or other means of cooling the system. You could use water pumps for PC's, Heat pipes which are just pipes filled with fluids, or peltier cooler which gets colder when voltage is applied in addition to fans to help keep it cooler.

If you go to an mmc and add in the event viewer, it may give you a better indication on what is going on. Add the snap in event viewer, and look under system and applications for errors that may be related to your CPU.

Only people who have never served in the military would be shocked at the banning. Such a thing is actually pretty common. I recall one time the Base Commander banned a Cheek and Chong movie because it involved drugs.

I served in the military for 10 years and was in Iraq. While in Iraq, we had a few game systems, and would play games like medal of honor most nights. I don't find it to be offensive at all to myself, any of the other soldiers who played it, or any of the soldiers who I have seen die.

I find it quite unusual that the military would go so far out of it's way to try and keep a game out of it bases and not do anything about a web site that leaks confidential military secrets.

If a soldier wants to play MoH, just order it off the internet.

Line 8 is breaking the assignment rules. You need to make the function

void minMax (int current, int& min, int& max);

get rid of x, y, and z.

void minMax (int current, int& min, int& max){

// make comparisons here.
// if current < min, then min = current.
// if current > max, then max = currnet.
}

Then from your main, read in a value from the file, and pass that to the function. You'll have to assign min and max to the first value you read in.

int main(){
//variable declarations
out.open("data.txt");
out>>a;
//initialize high and low to a
do {
minMax (a, high, low);
out>>a;
}while (out>>a)

That's basically what you're looking for. You should be able to fill in the blanks.

based on where you are at I would start with some local pc shops here.

You may be able to pick up some cheap video cards, or possible even work something out to have them throw a video card in there for a few minutes to see if it solves the problem.

I have read some of the reviews on your motherboard, it does seem like a hit or miss on your brand. If you take a look at the capacitors on the motherboard, if any are round instead of flat on top, it's a good sign that the motherboard is on its way out also.

kes166 37 Practically a Master Poster

If you can get ahold of a video card that will plug into the PCIe, I'd try that. According to the specs on that motherboard, there is no on board video.

#include <iostream> 
 
using namespace std;
int main ()
{
int a[128];
int fN;
int i;
 
a[0]=1;
a[1]=1;
 
cout << "How many n terms do you want in the sequence: ";
cin >> i;
 
for ( fN = 0 ; fN < i ; fN++ )
{
	a[fN+2]=a[fN]+a[fN-1];
	cout << a[fN] <<"\n";
}
}

I input this as you said and i get this as an output :

How many n terms do you want in the sequence: 5
1
1
-858993459
2
-858993458
Press any key to continue . . .

Sorry, I had a typo ... fixed it in the post ... line 18 should be

a[fN+2]=a[fN]+a[fN+1];  //change the - to a +

I'm working without a compiler :)

kes166 37 Practically a Master Poster

The fibonacci sequence is:
0,1,1,2,3,5,8, .... etc

You are missing the first three numbers in the sequence. You can do it the way unimportant suggested, but you will need to catch the exceptions if the user enters 1 as i, in which case you will just want to display the 0.

ideally, I think you should do

a[0]=0;
a[1]=1; 
cout << "How many n terms do you want in the sequence: "; //you missed this semicolon
cin >> i;
for ( fN = 0 ; fN < i ; fN++ )
{
    a[fN+2]=a[fN]+a[fN+1];
    cout << a[fN] <<"\n";
}

For an input of 5 as i, it will display 0,1,1,2,3 .. It will calculate the next to numbers, but will not display them. If you don't want to calculate the extra 2 positions in the array, you can add an if statement if (fN+2 < i) then calculate next value.
