    Need some help with IE issues

    I think this is less an issue with IE and more a possiblt problem with your connection itself. I am assuming you are using a cable modem to connect to the internet? If so, when you see this behaviour have you tried to "reboot" the cable modem itself instead of the computer (basically you unplug...

    Also check the Add/Remove Programs (Start > Settings > Control Panel) ,sometimes the advertising stuff is a program that can be uninstalled.

    (Crap) PC Wont start! Please help if you can!

    I do not think that the front panel button is the problem as when you press it the computer does attempt to start. It almost sounds like the motherboard is shorting out, though if you've not moved the computer and it was working fine up to this point it sounds unlikely. The most probable...

    Hard Drive concerns

    I may be wrong but it sounds like you may have installed your new OS on the old hard drive (the one that failed to boot) which could explaing the unreadable messages you got. Other than that, definately check your master / slave jumpers on the drives.

    It sounds like you just need to make some adjustment settings to your computer video card. Click on: Start > Settings > Control Panel > Display Under the Display, Click the Settings tab and then the Advanced button. There should be a tab for your Video Card that will enable you to...

    Re-installed XP - now having a problem

    If there is no information on either drive you wish to keep, the best course is to format both drives and start fresh. Start your computer and select the windows install for your C drive. Try the right-click format for the D. If that works, (or even if it dosen't) to get C formatted place...

    I need glasses!

    One thing to consider when getting glasses is how active you are (mountain climber or couch potato) as some glasses are made to stay on better if you are very active verses if you are less active. Another is if you need them all the time or just for reading or just when you are driving. If...

    Puggles

    Although the dog is cute I hate it when any animal is considered a "fad". Everyone wants one, everyone gets one, then in a year or two the pound is overflowing with them when the "fad" dies.

    Entry Level Jobs

    These are all great ideas and I cannot stress enough how important the Resume is for getting a job. Even having something as simple as low grade paper vs. high grade paper can make a huge difference in how good it can look. Find a local "Job Hunter" type business. Find one that will help...

    My top 5 pet peeves of the moment

    1) Cellphones! Especially people driving, skating, walking or otherwise moving in some way while taking on them. I've seen so many near misses to myself as well as other people that I wish they would make them unusable unless you are standing still. 2) Huge Bass Speakers in cars. If you want...

    Gulp!! Getting Married: How Much Did You Spend?

    Soooo not true! At least not for me anyway. ;) My husband and I lived together for several years before we got married. My mom had ideas that included an expensive wing-ding and everything paid for by my dad. I had to put my foot down and insist I was paying for the whole thing and it would...

    Worth It to Add More Ram?

    As well as adding more Ram, You may want to look at what programs are starting when you boot up as the more processes running the longer it will take to start. Using Run and typing msconfig, you can check all your running processes. Any you are unsure of, you can Google to see what they are...

    Hilarious House of Frightenstein V1 Question

    I would say the wolfman voice-over is "good to very good". I suspect the person hired to do it got to see the original uncut, then memorized the lines (with howls, ect) as the lip syn is almost dead on. Thankfully any other clips of the Wolfman that are just stuck in the show, is still Billy Van

    Hilarious House of Frightenstein V1 Question

    Quote: Another question though: does this have the added laugh track that the previous 4 episode DVD had? If so, then no sale. That laugh track kills the show. I havent seen all the episodes but there is no laugh track whatsoever in the episodes I've seen thus far. (All of disc one) I...

    Hilarious House of Frightenstein V1 Question

    Hi Andrew, My husband just bought this set today and there is some good news and some bad. First the good: Yes the original music is back in this set for the Wolfman & Igor parts and is, in fact, how the makers of the DVD distinguish from one episode to the other. i.e The eposiode with...

    Duran Duran live at Wembley DVD?

    Sorry I didn't see the replies earlier. My DVD was glitching near the end of the song "Wild Boys". The camera is doing a pull back on Simon & you can see the flames on the screen behind him. Then a quick cut to the audience jumping up & down then quick cut to Andy's Guitar. It was in this...

    Space Shuttle Challenger, 20 years after

    I remember this like it was yesterday. It was just after lunchtime and most of the grade 12 Biology class was gathering in the lab when one of the last few students came in at the bell and said the Challenger had exploded. The whole class fell absolutely silent and then the questions started...

    Duran Duran live at Wembley DVD?

    Not to burst anyones bubble but I purchased the DVD + CD version of the Duran Duran concert at HMV and the DVD pixelated and froze on rewind in the Wild Boys. I replaced the title in-store and the replacement had the same problem in the same area. I then returned the title for refund and...

    Built My first PC Succesfully!

    For the last year or so I've been thinking of the possibility of building a PC myself. The one main problem I seem to have is that I live in Canada and there seems to be a lack of companies to get my parts through. (I really don't want to order from the USA, the dollar exchange and shipping...

    Chain reaction car crash *Video*

    Deffinately the put the car in Nutral trick works for me, also pumping the breaks GENTLY (for thoes without abs) will stop you faster than just standing on the breaks. I'm puzzled as to why none of the drivers tried to change the lane so as to miss the car in front, just too slippery I guess.

    Ok so I finally discovered Joni Mitchell

    My husband is the big Joni fan but every time he puts on Hissing of Summer Lawns, I just HAVE to stop and listen to the entire thing, it just draws me into it and won't let me go untill the last note. This is just my opinion of course but I would highly recommend it. Any of the Joni albums...

    Huygen's lands on Titan

    It's too bad they couldn't use the missions to the International Space Station to take the parts into space, assemble them there and then send them off. Not needing to use as much fuel to escape Earths gravity would make it easier to send these probes faster, or at least send more of them.

    What kind of cell phone do YOU have?

    Hi Kyle, The phone will still work if the hinge cracks. In fact it'll work if both hinges crack as long as the wire inside does not break. I work for Asurion (wireless insurance / replacement). :b
