Ok, so before I downloaded WMP, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the divX player for a third time. This time, by some twist of fate in the laws of physics and nature in the universe, it worked. DivX player doesnt like to play the files, but now WMP (the one I already had installed) decided to get smart or something and start working.

Thank's a bunch, Jonbo. :D

Re: Post your Computer Questions/Help
 

Cool, no problem. I myself have been having a problem with some video's playing right because it makes some (not all) videos have a green overlay on it in WMP. After I turned video acceleration off, it was perfect. I still have no clue why it does that. One of these times ill reformat by computer but I have way to many things to just do it right now

Re: Post your Computer Questions/Help

Hey...I'm not sure how this would work, but would anybody willing to send me an microsoftword.exe file over AIM? I have Wordperfect as my word processor, but a crappy printer so I can't print from my computer. The computers at the library have Microsoft word, but for some reason they refuse to convert my WordPerfect document to the MicroSoft Word program so I can't print...if you know of anyway I can get MSWord or anyway to solve the WP to Word conversion problem it'd be much appreciated.

Re: Post your Computer Questions/Help
 

As you are getting ready to save the document, go to Save As, and there should be multiple options on what to save the file format as. Microsoft word should be an option, and if not, then save it as an RTF file. Word can read those formats easily.

Hey, I've got a question! I've been wondering how to get a custom little picture thingy (like dictionary.com has books, and cnn.com has their little logo, etc) in the toolbar for my band's website. I've noticed more recently that almost every site I go to these days has one, and I think it would be a nifty feature to have.

Re: Post your Computer Questions/Help
 

Good question, GT should have one also.

Re: Post your Computer Questions/Help
 

Hey what about my question? :(

Re: Post your Computer Questions/Help
 

I'm working on it. Just woke up.

I checked out LiteOn's site and this is the best I found.
http://www.liteonamericas.com/us/download_cdrom.htm
They have LTR526 firmware. Doesnt say d at the end, but thats the closest I could find

Re: Post your Computer Questions/Help
 

If I understand you correctly, your wanting a custom pic made, right? If so, someone here could do one for ya when they have some time

Re: Post your Computer Questions/Help
 

What he is talking about is that small graphic on the left side of the address bar in your browser. Most webpages now days have a custom graphic. If you go to dictionary.com, they have a small stack of books there.

Re: Post your Computer Questions/Help
 

ahhhhh, ok. Now I understand. thanks :) +rep

Re: Post your Computer Questions/Help
 

Yeah, but does anyone know how to implement that when making a website? That's my real question...I use DreamWeaver, and don't know how to use it that well, but if anyone knows anything it'd be appreciated.

Re: Post your Computer Questions/Help
 

1. What is DreamWeaver used for?

2. If I'm interested in it's function will you teach me all you know?

Re: Post your Computer Questions/Help
 

Creating websites with more "flair" and much easier then doing it from scratch.

Re: Post your Computer Questions/Help
 

I have an awesome dreamweaver tutorial. If you're interested i could send it to you some day...unless you have dial up or something :)

RE: Re: Post your Computer Questions/Help
 

Where did you get awesome dreamweaver tutorial ? I think I sometimes am.I don't know whether or not I am interested he or she could send it to you some day.
I am an artificial linguistic entity. :-) Or something. Perhaps. What makes you think I have dial up?

Re: Post your Computer Questions/Help
 

Holy shi*t, when i got back from submitting you had already replied.

Um..i was just saying, if you have dial up i'm not sending and um...gimme a second to find the link.

EDIT: ok here are the links...

Learnind Dreamweaver MX 2004
Intermediate Dreamweaver 2004MX (2cds)

I've only skimmed through them but I watched all the flash tutorials and they were extremely well done. This is a different narrator and piece of software so I dunno if they will be as good. They are all quicktime by the way, its not text. You view the narrators computer as he/she talks.

Re: Post your Computer Questions/Help
 

Whoops, haven't been here in a while :unsure: I wondered how that was possible. I was like er..he must foreign and doesn't know english very well. Still a cool job on neos part.

Um...anyways, i guess i still answered gamemasters question.

Re: Post your Computer Questions/Help
 

Yes you did, and thanks for the cool tutorial links.

Re: Post your Computer Questions/Help
 

Ok, I need some help:

I have this project for school in my PC repair class, right? Well, our project is to research every part we will need to build a computer on the internet, and compile a list of all the parts, then write a report about why we chose those pieces, and how they work together.

So, being the person I am, I decided to build a gaming computer.

I picked out this really suave red case (I'll post a link later when I find it again.) It comes with a 500 watt power supply, 12 drive bays, and 7 expansion slots. It has a bunch of fans, a door on the front that opens, cooling controls, and just neat stuff like that.

I have already picked out a processor, a Pentium 4 3.4 GHz thing.

What I REALLY need right now is a motherboard. The best one imaginable with the best chipset ever. :D

I've been looking and I cant find anything. :( So, if someone can show me an awesome one, it will be greatly appreciated.

P.S. My case uses ATX motherboards

Re: Post your Computer Questions/Help
 

Is your processor a P4 3.4 ghz prescott? need the brand otherwise I/We won't know what mobo to look for thats compatible.

Re: Post your Computer Questions/Help
 

eh, I left all this info at school lol. I'll bring home the info and stuff and post it today after I get off from school.

Re: Post your Computer Questions/Help
 

Ooops. I forgot I was supposed to come back. tee hee.

Here is my processor:

Now I need the suavest, fastest Motherboard imaginable. (cost is not a factor.)

[edit] Here is my case, if you need that:

Re: Post your Computer Questions/Help
 

Help...please?

Re: Post your Computer Questions/Help
 

oops, sorry. I must've overlooked your reply. I've got a half hour before City of Heroes servers come online so ill look for a good mobo.

*edit*
I looked on newegg and it looks like the choice by quite a few people is the Asus P4C800-E DELUXE

Re: Post your Computer Questions/Help
 

I have yet another computer problem. Usually about 10 min after my PC boots up it freezes. But sometimes it doesn't. I scanned with Norton just the other day (when it didn't end up freezing) and no viruses were found. Does anyone know what is causing this? I'm thinking about just reformatting my whole hard drive.

Re: Post your Computer Questions/Help
 

When the computer comes back up, does XP say anything about "X program" caused the system to hang? If not, it could vary on random lockups. If you want, just backup important stuff and reformat. Usually never hurts to do it.

I used to get random lockups and I narrowed the cause but I found out I think it was just my mobo and Nvidia's IDE driver causing the problem. But now I dont have the problem after I've wiped the drive a few times for various things.

Re: Post your Computer Questions/Help
 

I'll have to get back to you on the boot up thing. How long does it usually take to reformat anyway?

Re: Post your Computer Questions/Help
 

Usually an hour or less. Just depends. But almost always should take less then an hour.

Re: Post your Computer Questions/Help
 

Backup and reformat!

That's what I do. Well, not always in that order.

Re: Post your Computer Questions/Help
 

Alright Jonbo, thanks. and a big +rep for you.

I did find a different mobo, though, before reading your recommendation. I compared the chipsets (which is what I was really wondering about), and the two Mobo's have the same chipset, so I know I got a good one thanks to you. :D

I need to get a few more things, and my computer will be complete. I'll make a new thread and post all the stuff I'm "buying" for it, and you guys can critique me.

-----

And crono, if worse comes to worse, reformat. heh. But I have NEVER reformatted my current PC, and I've had it for more than 3 years. This friend of mine reformats her computer every single time something goes wrong. That seems like HUGE hassle to me. So see if you can fix it first, then go for the reformation.

Re: Post your Computer Questions/Help
 

Is adding memory to a PC hard? And where's a good place to buy it?

Re: Post your Computer Questions/Help
 

nope. you just gotta know what you have or what your computer can use. find the max amount of course.

places to buy newegg.com or if you dont like going online.

honestly best buy will have good prices once and a while in thier sale ad.

Re: Post your Computer Questions/Help
 

Once again my ****ty PC has problems. Now it's resetting itself immediately after boot-up. I did a quick google search and couldn't find anything. Can anyone help me before I feel like smashing my pc? I'm on a different one right now. I haven't reformatted yet and got a power source change a couple months ago. I have no damn idea what's wrong. It's definitely not overheating, although I will vacuum behind my desk to clean up any dust and cat hair.

Also, I want to reformat but I can't change my primary boot drive to CDROM, it wont let me, any suggestions? Thanks to anyone who has advice.

Re: Post your Computer Questions/Help
 

Have you checked in the Bios for the boot order? Almost every bios has a boot order in it where you can change it to cdrom, etc...

Re: Post your Computer Questions/Help
 

Ok, I'll look, but I'm more worried about the restting problem, heh.
