the competition is almost over isnt it.

I think Maya got bought out by Autodesk who makes 3dstudio max. I would recommend playing around with the free version of 3ds max and blender (free/opensource) before you pay the expensive prices.

I would search around for tutorials on css layouts and look around alistapart.com. That site you showed is mainly a header and then two columns.

pretty nice stuff

1. get firefox with the ie view extension
2. only use IE for microsoft updates
3. your post stats problems with explorer.exe which is incorrect explorer.exe runs your desktop enviroment, iexplorer.exe i believe is internet explorer.
4. if possible do a system restore
5. scan with all the different malware programs:
spybot S&D
ad-aware
windows defender
trend micro
etc...
I cant see anything from your log that looks like it would be a problem I would also do some virus scans it could be a trojan.

well most likely your cpu is not freezing it is more likely a problem with windows itself like you have a lot of junk files taking up memory either that or you dont have enough system memory to run the game for long periods of time.

even if you could it when php finds the files and downloads it windows will recognize it as w/e and not let you do it. You could just do like a save as like .txt open it with notepad and then save it as w/e extension it was before.

No you posted a hijack this log which to get good results on you cant get have a browser running. so run w/e online scans and software scans, shut off IE or w/e and then do a hijackthis log.

Great check out the tutorials sections and right now there is a blogging competition so people are sure to have posted some insightful information in their blogs:lol:

NOTE: You should try to post your quetions in the appropriate forum section a mod will most likely move you. If no one offers any more insight try moving it to the viruses and other nasties forum under tech talk->windows

you could boot into safemode by pressing f8 at startup and then delete the directory in the program files. Most likely it is some sortof of spyware or malware so programs like spybot S&D, ad-aware, and windows defender should be able to catch it.

Hey always good to have new members to bring insight to the forums.

there is WAMP server or XAMPP server which will configure php, apache, and mysql for you

thank you, unfortunately yea I am on windows at work so chmod wont work but no big deal.

PHP does always run in the background it is server side scripting. something like javascript which is client side would run in the foreground.

I need to open an xml file and allow people to add entries to the file. So i need to open it with read and write access be able to insert an entry and then close it with read only access so another program (adobe bridge) cant write over the file.

turn off IE and rescan. I know it seems like a hassle to rescan but someone was gonna tell you anyways and it could help reveal the problem.

GET is more used if you are getting information from a url or something like something like
http://www.somesite.com/script.php?image=3

then you could use like
$image = $_GET;

and if you then said
echo $image;

it would say 3.

and to see a return to wether or not the mysql is working do this

$host = "localhost";
$user = "user";
$pass = "hello";
$connect = mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass) or die("Could not connect to mysql server");
$sql = mysql_create_db("test");
if (!sql) {
  echo "there was an error" . mysql_error();
}
else {
 echo "database test was created";
}

or something like that. but your form isnt doing anything with the data base so to put it further you need to create a table and insert the value into the table.

If your up for paying people try google answers. Microphones are tricky thats why its sortof hard there are so many things that could be causing your problem

the Peripherals forum would be the place to put it I guess a mod will probably move it.

It could probably be picking up fan noise or something or there is dust on your graphics card im not really sure you should probably just open the sucker up and take a look.

Im not sure dreamweaver offers this kind of functionality

I looked around and it looks like there are a couple:
rsync - opensource
Filesync - offers ftpsync also opensource i believe
robocopy ? - not sure what this does, but someone said it was rather good.

You need to setup the site using dreamweaver's site manager which im assuming is using ftp(which I dont know how to setup but it should be rather simple). So you could just use a 3rd party ftp client to upload to the server.

well im not sure about the mysql part because I just use WAMP server which sets it all up for you.
But for the form I can see what is wrong you need to set a form method and a form action so here is how I believe you would do it to set it to use local php

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
 <form method="post" action="SEVER_[PHP_SELF]">
Please input your name here: <br />
<input type="text" name="username" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit Data" />
</form>
<p> You typed </p>
<?php
 $username = $_POST['username'];
 echo $username;
?>
</body>
</html>

Now im not sure about the action but i believe that is how you do it.

No problem. I think the biggest issue that newer web designers and developers have is that they feel like they need to go out and buy a program like dreamweaver to make websites when dreamweaver is really just an advanced text editor. Deffinitely try to learn more of HTML and CSS and stick to the coding view as much as possible. For good tutorials I would suggest w3schools and lynda.com.

I think that games are really the only thing windows has over Linux in terms of software there is a vast majority of software that is free and open source on Linux way more choices than windows.

if you do have directx installed you should be able to goto start>run and type dxdiag in the text area and that will run and tell you. You dont need to uninstall the old one just install over it with the newer version.

Obviously Ubuntu.
But I should point out that a lot of people like MEPIS not me personally buy just a suggestion for your poll.

I forgot to mention why I like Ubuntu. I like debian distros for one and also I just like the community. As for MEPIS it is also a debian distro and the latest version is actually based off of Ubuntu the only difference is that it comes with porprietary (not opensource) software and I think to install it you have to pay for it, but the livecd (simplyMEPIS) is free.

check out this list
yea im an Nvidia guy and you should note that different nvidia manufacturers have better cards probably the most known for being the best is BFG then there is Gigabyte, Asus, and Evga. The ones that are cheaper and most likely not as good are the PNY ones. Look for higher memory and faster clock speeds and also make sure that w/e card your buying is compatible with your mobo so like make sure that if your card says PCI-Express you have that slot (that is the better one) or if it says AGP (slower) that you have an AGP slot.

Obviously Ubuntu.
But I should point out that a lot of people like MEPIS not me personally buy just a suggestion for your poll.

you can create an external file sheet so copy and paste into a blank document and save it then in the head of the html document put

<link rel="stylesheet" href="filename.css" type="text/css" />

or you could just put it inside the head of the html document in style tages like this.

<style type="text/css">
<!--
Paste your css here
-->
</style>

Also you should note that this could all be done in notepad dreamweaver is just a text editor and you should learn to use the code view more than the design view.

I use Windows XP the most because I have it on both my home and work computers, but other than that I use Ubuntu.

Im pretty sure you cant get directx 6 anymore it is up to like 9 or something now. So if you can find it on the internet just uninstall whatever directx you have now and then install directx 6, but that wont support most new anything and youll probably need to get 9. Not sure about compatability with win 98.

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx/default.mspx

I need a place that has cheap or at least moderately priced hosting and domain services that include PHP 5 and mysql

you cant build custom macs thats the thing. Or im pretty sure you cant I havent seen many places that sell mac hardware.

You would have best luck getting answer if you post the problem in a appropriate forum and name it accordingly.

none macs are overpriced, everytime anyone has showed me their mac they are like look my built in camera has effects or something worthless. Unless you need something like final cut pro(which apple didnt create) or another tool that is only for Mac (ppl Adobe/Macromedia products work just as good on windows dot listen to mac ads). That is the only program that their is not like an exact windows equivalent, but sony vegas and other programs are almost at that level. They make it out like iLife is this just extra thing on your mac free of charge, but it is basically the whole cost a powerful mac is around $1,500 where I could build a pc that is ten times as powerful and but XP and Linux on it and I could be editing music, building websites, and podcasts all of which I actually do do on my pc.

its probably becuase you need to load an <img src=""> to display an image in html.

yea it was a lot simpler than that code made it out to be you just have to use the simplexml_load_file() command the problem i was having was i edited the xml and php so many times i lost track of capitilization and so the words werent matching up.

look further into these two entries before deleting them im not sure what they do

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {a81120d9-b822-4778-a67f-cd7bcbb50696} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\imj251.dll

O20 - Winlogon Notify: imj251 - C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\imj251.dll

other than that I dont know just take a look at those and see if you can find out exactly wat imj251.dll exactly does.

who here knows how to transfer metadata info using adobe bridge or any other application that you know of. I mainly need this for images but for any file would be nice as well.

well I dont know how you would configure it, but you could use grub ive only used it with linux and windows but I guess it could do it with 2 windows

shut off firefox via the proccesses tab in your task manager then rescan and post.

I probably could understand the error if i worked for adobe or developed the product is very complicated.

Please help I need this answer for work. Im running version cue 2.01 and windows xp

here is the exact error
"Version cue cs2 cannot start
Please check version cue logs"

what?

can someone guide me to an adobe support forum (the on on the adobe site does not seem to have a post function anywhere i can see). I need a guide on how to setup adobe bridge and version cue to be able to share data remotely. So just setting up version cue to remote server.

i cannot uninstall limewire at all.. please help me :-|

so make your own thread

yea I have wine and cedega on my ubuntu and it isnt that good steam will run but not as smooth as it does on windows. Best bet if you need a program that you have on windows than look around for one that is natively linux.

ok so i built a simple playlist type thing where the user can click a link and then the player will play that song. Now i would like for the page to get info from an xml file and then display a short description.

here is my php:

<?php
//select which song from url
$song = $_GET['song'];
$songfile = ''.$song.'.mp3';

//quicktime player that gets the source of the song from the url
echo '<embed qtsrc='.$songfile.' height"256" width="320" src='.$songfile.' type="image/x-quicktime" pluginspage="[http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/]" autoplay="true">';

/*Display current song and short description*/
//point variable to songlist.xml
$songlist = "songlist.xml";
//connect to songlist.xml
$songxml = simplexml_load_file($songlist);

//set simple if statement that if a song is selected display song information 
if ( $song != NULL){
echo '<p id="soinginfo">Right now you are listing to '.$song.':<br/>'.$songxml->songlist->$song->description.'</p>';
}
/*End display info settings*/
?>

and here is the xml with some example songs

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<songlist>
 <title>Song List</title>
 <description>a list of songs and information</description>
