usually, with ADSL, or with any PPPoE connection, you're assigned an IP address to your login. in other words, when you login using the same account, you will always get the same IP address.

You're right, I just tested it. I logged off then back on and my IP was the same number. Great. Problem solved, I don't need to be always on.

Thanks for the help guys.

Ok, Ok, Ok.

So nonne of my browsers work. IE is flooded with viruses and the like. Firefox mysteriously stopped working on me. It ate its own face and doesnt exist anymore. Now you might be thinking "Wait, How are you typing?"

Well, I have resorted to MSN explorer. This is a dark day for us all. The bad thing, is it likes to randomly freeze on me. So I have wrote this probably 5 times. It never dawned on me to copy it.

Anyways, I want to know if there is anything I can do to get Firefox working again. Dyne has tried sending me the install application, but my computer, and all of its taking it in the ass glory, doesnt let my computer take any Firefox programs. It says they are possibly infected with a virus, and too high of a risk to accept.

Like I told Dyne, I blame Microsoft.

I shall try check this tomorrow at some point to see what you come up with. And my dad is getting the computer wiped and re-done in a week or so, but not being able to browse at ease is like losing your testicles. You can still go on MSN and talk, but you cant produce babies.

Alright, so that didnt make perfect sense. But still. You catch my drift.

What AV program is telling you this? Try removing the AV program and then install Firefox again or just disable it altogether if you can and try again. Sounds serious

You can still be on everytime you boot up. You just have to make a regedit adjustment, or maybe the software is set so you can put it in the start up. Either way, call your tech support and ask them how to. They will tell you.

yo

I've got a pain in the ass integrated gpu in my less than satisfying acer laptop. I wish my broke college ass had more money. So yeah, the problem.

gpu: 64mb SiS M760GX ....integrated.... *sigh*

While playing games the screen will freeze up and display only a spectrum of vertical lines. It can take a few hours of playing a game before this happens or only a few minutes.

So I check the driver and it's updated. cpu and ram usage are running at a decent level. So yeah, if anyone in the know can help me out with this less than mainstream gpu problem I'd be super happy since the college I'm at, located in thailand, is a lot more fun when I can play some computer games every once in a while.

So yeah, between getting threatened by gun wielding cambodians, running over stray dogs with my motorcycle in the dark, the sufficating heat, and of course not being able to play games on my lappy, it's going good in this new environment. If you guys are looking for a changeup of location, I'd recommend travelling while you're all youngins. Miss watching hockey but the nucks are doing pretty good. Damn the wings

and yeah, please help me out mi gt amigos.

Do you really run over stray dogs?

Happydude · 12-08-2005, 06:01 PM

i would think it's an over-heating problem...i think i got the same problem as you and i'm running on a Radeon 9500 Pro....and while playing a short while, the screen just goes berserk, giving me squares and lines and yeah....then when i alt+tab it's just lines on the desktop and no screwy squares.

so i cleaned my card up along with the rest of the PC while i was at it and it hasn't screwed since then....yet...so it might be that the inside is dusty and it's not cooling down properly....or if i'm wrong...i have no idea what it might be.

The icons on my desktop have black text and a white background and I hate that! Is there anyway to make the text white and the background transparent?
