Hey guys, So I'm back to the problem where I was silly and thought that it would be better off to partition my drive so that one partition would be for the OS, and the rest for everything else. I went with the recommended partition + extra to accommodate for growing Windows files, but I've been...

Hey guys, I'm asking around regarding this for my friend who's laptop has now become a paperweight. I don't remember this information from my Dell Warranty certification. Unfortunately his father purchased the Dell laptop for him off of ebay approximately 6 months ago. He's never had a problem...

Hey guys, I have an Intro to Web Design I course, which requires us to purchase Adobe Dreamweaver, Adobe Flash, and Photoshop Elements. Through our discounts with the school, I can get Adobe Creative Suite 4 Web Premium for a good deal. I would like to get that as it also has Photoshop, but...

Hey guys, I am currently running the website that my fire department uses. Our chief recently implemented the same technology police departments use in their vehicles for recording incidents. He has already taken the process of converting a video from VHS to DVD for me, but now I need to take...

Hey guys, With my job I have to periodically connect to other systems such as Sun. When my company ordered our laptops, they did not order this batch with serial ports; I guess they too are being phased out. We have been using a USB to Serial adapter to be able to console into the devices, but...

Hey guys, My company has provided me a work laptop to use out in the field. It's an adequately supplied laptop that should be able to do backflips with the programs that I run on it. Unfortunately this is the result of an image that I believe my company pushes out to the laptops instead of...

Hey guys, I have a Logitech MX400 Laser mouse. I am also running Windows Vista x64. It seems to be having a really weird precision time with the mouse movement. Sometimes it feels sluggish, like I can't just point at what I want to without compensating a bit. To correct this, I've installed...

Hey guys, I experienced this issue in the past. I used to be in the middle of a game of COD4 online, and during the game periodically my modem would semi-restart itself. The Power, DS, and US would stay on and everything else would shut off. 5 seconds later, I'd still be in the game, the...

Hey guys, I didn't receive a response on the Vundo Fix thread. I believe I have a laptop that has been infected with Vundo. I was able to determine this by downloading and running Super Antispyware. Unfortunately, shortly after it detects Vundo while still scanning, I get a BSOD that says...

Hey guys, I've been trying to do some research on a problem I have been having. I noted today that my OS Partition (30gb) is about 90% full, as the C:\Windows\winsxs directory is taking up about 10gb of space and climbing. I only have about 2.7gb left, and I'm afraid I'm going to run into a...

Hey guys, My friends running a dedicated Windows XP machine with Filemaker Pro on it. I was trying to get all of the information possible from him, but until then I'll give you what I know. I had him go over the power settings, confirming that hibernate was disabled and that the computer...

Hey guys, Minor nuisance I have discovered with my version of Vista. There are some games where I can shut them down quickly, but correctly. In both WoW and Half Life, I can /quit and leave the game. My computer shuts them down properly, however Windows then reports that they have stopped...

Hey guys, I'm new to the Windows Vista x64 environment. I have a couple of questions / problems, and I'm sure more will crop up in the future, so I would like to get them answered in this thread. My hardware is listed beneath my signature. 1) My computer really wasn't doing much other than...

Hey guys, Unfortunately I have to use MS Outlook 2003 for my work laptop. One of the things I don't like is that whenever I attach something (or other people attach), it creates an attachment icon where ever the cursor was. I hate that! Is there a way to set it up so that it adds at the...

Hey guys, I designed and maintained the website for my fire company, http://www.tacomafire.org. My chief made a power point presentation (complete w/ music, that the music runs from a separate CD...) that has all of the highlights throughout the year for our members. 1) Is there a way I...

Hey guys, I'm posting here because while we were out shopping the other day, I pointed out that the printer was a good deal. My girlfriend had bought me the printer for Christmas (needed a printer desperately since my Lexmark took a dump real fast). I was trying to review the dimensions of...

Unfortunately I still can't build my new computer. I'm beginning to get very concerned. I've had one hard drive on me, and now I'm worried that my 200g primary drive is kicking the bucket as well. Typically the first time I power on my computer in the day, I get an error message stating that...

Hey guys, I just got done working on reformatting a friend's laptop. He did provide me with ALL of the CD's that came with it. Unfortunately, going through all of the CD's, as well as the website it still seems that we're missing some crucial software. There are no applications (besides...

Hey guys, I'm not specifically sure how old this system is, though I know it is much newer than the battery should be dying on it. My friend has had some complaints in the past that his battery no longer charges. He said he has left it plugged in for awhile at home to try to get it to...

Hey guys, Really stumped on this one. I decided I would help a friend out with their computer. He said he believes he has a virus. He attempted to troubleshoot his internet connection with his ISP, and one of the steps was confirming the installation of the network device. Unfortunately...
