Hey boats n hoes

 

the way it is formatted now you have a 4gb file size limit. this may not matter much to you if you don't deal with large files however I suggest you format for extended journaled.

 

Hitachi is a good mftr however I've had more than a couple dead drives. as with anything it all depends on use and treatment. I've deaded drives in 6mo but have had others for 4 years and still going strong. Maxtor has awesome transfer rates.

[KILZ FILLZ]

thanks man

got impatient and already reformatted it

glad i did the right thing

 

im gonna be more careful with this one for sure

still not sure what happened with the last one but dont want to get another one for a while

Hi there. I was having much fun using http://www.keepvid.com but recently it is not working. For a minute I think they wanted me to download a program. IDK. Looks shady.

 

My question is what are "safe" Firefox plug ins to download Youtube videos? I can;t help but be super cautions after getting hit with that nonsense virus a few weeks ago.

 

Here are a few (for your entertainment and so I remember) I want to download before they disappear from Youtube:

I have a PC with a .dll file and one registry entry infected with trojan.vundo.h.

 

I have tried to remove this using AVG, MBAM, Spybot SD and Avira with no results. I have been able to locate the file C:\\WINDOWS\system32\wajstzi.dll (used for ODBC 3.0 driver for Foxpro).

 

If I run a scan on just that file it comes up clean, but when I run a full scan that file is marked as infected. Could this be a false positive? Anybody know what will happen if I shift+delete wajstzi.dll?

 

Thanks

Which works better for a Mac, Peerguardian or Peerblock?

 

Edit: I just read that peerblock is based on the same code as peerguardian, just debugged and there is no mac version.

 

Shit.

[LUGR]

Ran superAntiSW and it could not be remove it. I tried to delete the registry entry and .dlls that are in the logs. All of them reappear or are not deletable. Anyway to get rid of this shit?

[LUGR]

I ended up reformatting.

 

Anybody know of any drawbacks to using Logmein instead of PCAnywhere or VPN? Or are they basically the same?

 

Thanks

what are you trying to do with this file, burn it, mount it, transfer it, convert it?

 

 

and dont blame this on vista, its yer stupidity

[EON 352]

hey man my knowledge of computers is limited. i guess im trying to convert it so i can install the program.

[iloveboxcars]

get a program that will mount the image if you dont want to burn a disk.

[autoteller]

download the damn nfo viewer. it'll set it up so you can look at the nfo files in all sorts of pretty ascii (and yeah, 'damn nfo viewer' is the name of the program). aside from that, you should at least google this. this is probably one of the most common things that happens when people download games without knowing anything about computers and such. daemon toolz, etc.

Why isn't my comp recognizing my MP3 player when I plug it in?

 

It won't even charge it..

[EarToTheGround]

mac or pc? what kind of mp3 player?

[lord_casek]

USB drivers? Check the manufacturers website for updates. Bios being the number one to look for.

[IOU]

My comp still recognizes my camera when I plug it in, but no the MP3 player.

[EarToTheGround]

[IOU]

anyone know why Mozilla Firefox will just randomly close?

then makes my hole computer freeze...

[IOU]

I think those tampons have a lot to do with it.

Using some addons? May be the culprit.

[abcs]

quick question. I'm reading a Microsoft Press book. Taking a server

class and afterward probably the test.

 

I plan to make flashcards.

Was wondering if anything exists that will turn spoken

word into text on screen? So from the couch when i encounter

something i want as a note all i have to do is say it out loud

and later when i'm done it's arranged as a text doc.

I'm sure i've heard of some shit like this but i dont know

how to frame the question so my browser will turn up good

results. Freeware?

I turned on one of my PC's today and smelled a very faint burning smell around the back of the tower. I turned it off and opened it up, didn't see any smoke or areas that looked blackened so I dust-offed it and closed it up. It powers up, all the fans seem to be working but now it no longer sends a signal to the monitor? Tested it on a few different monitors and still no signal. Fried motherboard? Fried PSU? Could it be anything else? Thanks

[EarToTheGround]

Might be fried graphics card. make and model of your comp? did you have a non built-in graphics card in there?

[LUGR]

It has integrated Video/Audio/Lan, 1066FSB.

 

It was built by a local company.
