nsmbfan Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 sometimes when i dont play music or turn on my audio (sub + 2 speakers controlled with a module to turn on and off and control bass and volume), the sound fucks up and plays like it's garbled or there's resistance. pc win xp sound card is sound blaster audigy (basic model) with four jacks in the back. i didnt have this problem with onboard audio, just after i installed sound card. updated drivers, still have the problem. hardware maybe?

MayorMeanBeans Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 if this helps - i can go to this website of the same domain: http://inmotion.magnumphotos.com/ but in the upper left corner where there is normally a picture-button to go to the homepage, it is just a broken jpeg image...

MayorMeanBeans Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 XB doesn't seem to be working for my computer, i don't want to pay for the 'client version' and the TOR network won't load for whatever reason... that would be kind of nuts if Panama was blocking those sites.... seeing as they are resources for photo-journalists... repression of media and all that.

abcs Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Visual CertExam Suite... These .vce files look like the uncut coke for cert testing but i feel like its a scam somehow. In order to open the files you need a program. I tried to download it and all i get is a text file that makes no sense. There is also an option to buy http://www.visualcertexam.com/visual-certexam-suite.html what the fuck. Anybody thats smarter than me have any smarter the abcs insite. Maybe shed some light on this situation? Basically this .vce is like the key to unlock this: http://www.examcollection.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abcs Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 ok. I need to stop asking questions and when things don't work get off this mac and try them on my PC.... Which worked well enough to download a file that was asking to be paid. So anyhow. That bottom link i put up there. If you are trying to collect certs thats seems like a safe way to go. It costs 25$ to get in but i'm reasonably sure its worth the money. I'm passing that judgement on a combination of instinct and user feedback. You can tell when the test got changed up because the comments go from. Legit test. or 95% accurate to people upset that they went all in on a outdated test. Now thats not to say you shouldnt actually learn the material. What goods a cert if you cant perform the job it supposedly qualifies you for. The only way to learn this stuff is to actually do it and outside of a job that leaves doing what i'm doing which is building a basement lab and working out activities in books. Problem is that only works so well. I've worked thru three 290 books (one of them twice) and two 680 books with 7 week classes to go along with the book and labwork.... If you don't do this shit on a consistent basis you forget it quick. In order to do it on a consistent enough basis that it becomes committed to memory you need to get a job where you are doing it daily. To get that job you need shit like certifications. Its like anything. To get the job you need experience but to get experience you need the job. I'm good and safe to go on 290 & 680. I just dont want to have to retake the damn things. I've never taken one of Microsoft's tests before. I'm 99% certain if you abuse this its nothing more or less than outright cheating. Kinda devalues professional certifications. Im 1.5 years and 28 credit hours into this mess. If anybody has any updated advice... I asked and received about 1.5 years ago. Trying the throw MCSA on top of an unrelated bachelors degree. This classwork i've been taking is mostly because when i started trying to self study for cert tests i realized i didnt understand enough simple fundamentals to prepare effectively. So in the end i will have a college certificate on top. Sorry about wall of text too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once the computer is booted up in Safe mode, click on Start and Run and type CMD and hit enter Type the following; bootcfg /raw "/noexecute=alwaysoff /fastdetect" /id 1 restart OR http://www.usbman.com/Troubleshooter%20General.htm#BIOS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xen Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 meh, had a bad day in computing. i tried to install tiny xp on my old, now junk comp, and get a windows cannot start because<windows root>/system32/hal.dll is miising or corrupt. i tried different numbers but it shuts down afterwards. My ISP kills my connection because i downloaded paranormal activity even with peerblock and forced encryption enabled on utorrent. I guess i'll just have to do the netflix thing. /endrant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
