xen Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Thanks casek. It was a norton problem, which I figured out. Amazing what a little sobriety and logic will acomplish. I gave out all my props on the day but will get back tomorrow. I'll give the others a shot though just for future reference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seffiks Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 you can pick up a legit version of xp home for around $90- $100 or xp pro for $140- $150 if you decide to get a torrent version the crack is on you............ xp compatibility works like this to configure the compatibility mode for an application, just locate the installation directory and right click on the .exe, selecting Properties from the menu. Select the Compatibility tab: you can choose to run the program in windows xp compatibility mode, or even all the way back to windows 95 compatibility (probably the most useful setting to start off with would be to disable the visual themes and desktop composition, if you can't get things working. You'll have to play around with it, but most likely you can get your application working this way.) and what app you trying to get to work anyway have you checked there site to see if they have an update?

Seffiks Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 When Intel asked designers to build a better laptop, its instructions were simple, really. The machine has to be fashionable, able to connect to all manner of wireless networks, and full of the latest, fastest computing capabilities. Oh yes, and make it as thin as Motorola's Razr. Its own engineers in conjunction with Ziba Design in Portland, Ore., rose to the challenge. The result, code-named Intel mobile Metro notebook, is less than 0.7 inches thick—about one-quarter of an inch thicker than Motorola's (MOT) iconic cell phone, making it the world's thinnest notebook. And at 2.25 pounds, it's also one of the lightest small-sized portable computers. Other features include always-on Internet connectivity via various wireless technologies: this beats apple by .6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiliStCynical Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 So my myspace account got phished today, I accidentally clicked on one of those stupid pictures ala "add my friend she thinks you're cute" or something along those lines. (I think that's where it came from, but I never re-entered my password or anything). Just now got a pop-up saying to download anti-spyware from some site, and I closed it, but another came up. Changed the myspace password, and it said I had been phished again (already?!). I'm running a scan with symantec right now, while I wait for a-squared to finish downloading, and have cleared all my personal info from firefox (including passwords). What else do I need to do? *edit* answer - read more into the thread... not really sure if it's that serious, but wish me luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had that happen to me once, I deleted the account because it wouldn't allow me to post comments, and always asked me to change my password. I just recently got another account there and I clicked on one of those messages and my antivirus/spyware pop out and blocked it. I suggest you get a better antispyware soft. Everyone knows Norton sucks and uses alot of memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fat ralphy Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Okay so heres the new issue. I got a copy of XP Pro hook up style with pass number and all. So at first I was going to run a partition, vista and XP...dont ask it was recommended. So here is the thing when i was creating a secondary drive I used the shrink command. Here is the process I was following http://apcmag.com/5485/dualbooting_vista_and_xp So then I said fuck it, and did a boot straight from the XP disk which overrided the Vista OS Now I have XP OS but my Local Disk space is 116GB...Recovery Disk space is 10GB....and I started with a 250GB capacity. So the shrink fucked me, is there a way to restore the Local Disk to its original capacity? I already restored system back to original state before booting from XP disk..but I havent been able to recover the disk space. Any suggestions? Gracias!

evilrobotcloneattack Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Pirate Bay hit with legal action Four men who run one of the most popular file-sharing sites in the world have been charged with conspiracy to break copyright law in Sweden. The Pirate Bay's servers do not store copyrighted material but offer links to the download location of films, TV programmes, albums and software. The website is said to have between 10 and 15 million users around the world and is supported by online advertising. Police seized computers in May 2006, temporarily shutting down the website. Prosecutor Hakan Roswall said the website was commercially exploiting copyright-protected work because it was financed through advertising revenues. According to the Pirate Bay website, its users are currently downloading close to a million files. On the site, a statement says: "In case we lose the pending trial (yeah right) there will still not be any changes to the site. " The Pirate Bay will keep operating just as always. We've been here for years and we will be here many more." In an interview with the BBC's technology programme Click last year Pirate Bay co-founder Peter Sunde said: "I think it's okay to copy. They get their money from so many places that the sales is just one small part." http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7219802.stm to read the rest of the article.

fat ralphy Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 the company i work for just bought mysql but i dont know shit. i am reinstalling the xp OS and I am going to delete the partition i created..my question is the partition in question is on the C drive and lists 119485MB used and 117264MB free...so i am assuming that the free space can be utilized again once i delete the partition. when i go to delete the partition i recieve the following: system partition may contain diag. hardware, programs to start OS delete only if you are sure it contains no such programs or if you are willing to lose them. DELETING A SYSTEM PARTITION MAY PREVENT YOUR COMPUTER FROM STARTING FROM THE HARD DISK UNTIL YOU COMPLETE INSTALLATION OF WINDOWS XP. so i am assuming it would be safe to delete the partition to recover the free space and then just finish the installation from the cdrom... anyone know the logistics of this one...sorry for the long reply!

I would just start from scratch...reformat the D: partition and reinstall. If Vista was on the HD before you did the dual boot install, then Vista will be on the C: partition and XP will be on the D: partition.
