Computer security has many facets.  My basic recommendations for a home user are the following:   * Use a good brand of router, do not rely upon what the telco provided you to be secure.

can anyone tell me how to get a picture in the "extended network" box on myspace?

 

 

Replace Your Extended Network With a Picture.

1. First find the image you want to replace your Extended Network space with.



2. Upload your picture to tinypic.com or photobucket.com. (Or any other image host)

3. In the code below, replace URL HERE with the URL to the image. (How to get the image url)

4. Replace the # sign in width:#px; with the width of the banner. (How to get the width)

5. Finally, replace the # sign in height:#px; (How to get the height)

6. Copy and Paste code anywhere in your edit profile section.

 

<style type="text/css">
table table table td {vertical-align:top ! important;}
span.blacktext12 {
background-color:transparent;
background-image:url('URL HERE ');
background-position:center center;
font-size:0px; letter-spacing:-0.5px;
width:#px; height:#px; display:block; }
span.blacktext12 img {display:none;}
</style>

You can replace where it says REPEAT STYLE with:



no-repeat = doesn't repeat

repeat-x = repeats horizontally

repeat-y = repeats vertically

repeat = tiles (repeats x and y)

THANK YOU!

just wondering how often do you encounter bad/defective RAM?

 

I bought 4GB (2x2GB) of crucial RAM from Fry's today.

 

Put the 2 in and couldn't get the computer to start, not even in safe mode.

Put 1x2GB and 1x512 and it worked fine.

Put the other 1x2GB and 1x512 and got the same screen error and couldnt start.

 

So im assuming the one RAM was bad.

 

So i'm gonna go exchange it tomarrow.

 

But was just wondering how often memory is defective, because I remember one other time installing it in my dads comp it was fucked too.

its very sensitive ( i will be surprised if frys takes it back) because you prolly fryed it do to ESD electrostatic discharge its not that common if you know how to handle it i have only had issues with a few defective RAM chips do to ESD or bending them by pressing them into the slot to hard

fuck!!

i took it back and got an even exchange.

brought it back home.

slipped on the anti-static gloves.

threw the 2x2GB in the computer and same thing. blue screen error.

PFN_LIST_CORRUPT

*** STOP : 0x0000004E 0x0000008D 0x000835501 0x00000000 0x00000000

 

I checked online and they mentioned it could be corrupt memory or a possible driver issue.

They recommended verifier.exe so im in the process of doing that. (gotta reboot now)

 

So im thinking it has to be my computer NOT the memory being corrupt.

That being said this is turning out to be a pain in the ass.

Would buying different/better memory (new RAM is crucial) be a easy way to do it rather than try debugging and all that confusing shit.

Fuck it i think ima go back to 1GB throwback status.

not sure. because when i can run 2x512 fine.

i can also run 1x2GB + 1x512 and it works fine.

but as soon as i use 2x2GB im fucked.

also when i booted up with the 2x2GB in the machine and went into the BIOS it showed it recognized both 2GB slots for a total of 4GB.

 

idk?

How old is it? I know for a fact that certain motherboards can only support a certain

amount of gigs on one slot..

 

check your manufactures page, and search for the model, you should be able to find out the capacity..

 

you can also check out this program called EVEREST if you have trouble finding out the model

pistol 4 GB will not work unless you got x64 and only then it will read 3 GB most of the time

 

e maximum amount of memory that your system can use is actually limited in two ways — not only is there a maximum amount of memory that your computer motherboard can accept, there is also a maximum amount of memory that your operating system (OS) can accept.

 

For instance, when you install 4GB of memory in a 32-bit Windows system (the most common version; 64-bit systems are typically used only by high-end users), your system will see (and utilize) only 3GB or 3.5GB. Is the problem bad memory?

 

Relax, there isn't a problem with the memory. Windows allows for 4GB of memory to be addressed, but this isn't 100 percent the same as having 4GB of physical memory.

 

What happens is that some of the addressable memory (regardless of how much you have physically installed) is reserved for use by page files or by some of the devices that you are using, such as a graphics card, PCI card, integrated network connections, etc., so it's unavailable for use as normal main memory.

 

The amount of memory needed for these devices is calculated by your system at startup; if you haven't maxed out the memory in your system, it's invisible to you, and all your physical memory (the RAM that's installed) is available for use. However if you've maxed out the DRAM in your system, this amount will be deducted from your physical memory, so you can't use 100% of your DRAM.

 

The maximum memory limitation varies by operating system; for instance, the 4GB memory limitation doesn't exist in 64-bit versions of Windows.

 

Memory maximums for current Microsoft® Windows OSs include:

  • Windows XP Home: 4GB
  • Windows XP Professional: 4GB
  • Windows XP 32-bit: 4GB
  • Windows XP 64-bit: 128GB
  • Windows Vista Home Basic: 4GB
  • Windows Vista Home Basic 64-bit: 8GB
  • Windows Vista Home Premium: 4GB
  • Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit: 16GB
  • Windows Vista Ultimate: 4GB
  • Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit: 128GB+
  • Windows Vista 32-bit: 4GB
  • Windows Vista 64-bit: 128GB+

so i should in theory be able to have 4 GB of RAM in my comp even though my comp will only recognize 3GB?

 

still not sure why i would be getting the blue screen and PFN error and not being able to boot up?

 

like i said im probably gonna just replace it and get 2 or 3 gigs.

 

it's not like i need the extra juice for video editing etc.

just thought it would be good to have and 80.00 seemed like a good deal for 4GB.

oh well.
