Trying to find out if I have been un-invivisibled yet. I was invisibilised about 7 years ago because I admitted to using banner blocking software. Now that everyone is using firefox or equivalent, I was wondering if that kind of ban still held. If a non-moderator can see this, then all is...

I'm chugging my way along, having a bit of fun in the process. I'm just trying to find some FAQ's, guides, whatever. The manual is a bit thin on the ground and gamefaqs has nothing. I picked up the DVD anthology, so I'd be happy with expansion info or anything really.

Who can see my posts? I've a sneaking suspicion they're being hidden. Wether it's deliberate(most likely) or a problem (most unlikely), it still seems that most people can't see them. If it's not deliberate... how would one remedy this? If it is deliberate, that's pretty funny.

Bought myself a combo drive couple of weeks ago, LG 52-32-52 CD/RW + 16x DVD read. I don't like the nero version it came with, my old nero whinged that it only worked with the drive it was bundled with, so I've just installed burnatonce. It's popped up with saying my drive is capable of...

My latest pair of headphones are quite nice, but lacking a little in the volume department across the board. Made sure that every volume control setting everywhere is maxed, they're just not quite loud enough for some things. Now, I've noticed that winamp has a pre-amp that cheerfully adds a...

Personal site, fairly low traffic, but it's going to be in use for quite a while, has and will continue to have regular visitors. It's all nicely modularised, I'm intending making a basic CMS for it and designed it with that in mind. HTML validates and the CSS validates too. The issue is that...

It's sitting in it's lovely little cardboard case, all 5 cd's plus the 'PYST' parody of Myst. It was given as a gift to my sister many years ago when it first came out... and no one has bothered playing it. Ever. Is it worth playing? I mean, sure, it seems to look pretty... but that doesn't...

Wow that was a fun and exciting afternoon. Trying to get a HP 3650 printer to work over a network with an XP and win98 computer. Three problems- the windows 98 and printer drivers cd's are dissapeared and broken respectively plus the win98 computer didn't have a USB port. To get the...

This has always puzzled me. Bought it last year, there's two disks in the box, one labelled disk one, the other disk two. Now... there's no need for two disks as far as I can tell. They are almost exactly the same in content, just one has a few mb more than the other in total and a few extra...

I have a tendency to block people temporarily. I find though that it's impossible to unblock any MSN people I block. The only way to unblock is to open MSN itself, unblock, close and resign in in trillian then all is well. I can't be bothered doing that so anyone I block because I don't feel...

This is for a friend, just need step by step simple instructions on how to re-enable cookies in zonealarm please. I've not used ZA since long before it blocked cookies so I've got no idea sorry... if someone can post somethign really simple so I can send them a link to the thread that'd be...

I've got System Shock 2, it's pretty decent if a little too intense/un-game like. I'm wondering if there's anything else out like the original Deus Ex. It's such a long game, so many things to do, so many ways to go about it, but it all just seems to fit together. RPG type things develop...

Sisters new laptop, I was called in to fix it... or with a view of fixing it at least. Brand new LG laptop, centrino, p1.4 etc etc. WinXP home. 4 weeks old. Not been dropped or anything of the sort. Switch it on, may or may not freeze. If it doesn't freeze or BSOD, it'll eventually load...

Have an antique computer here, P200 (mmx!), win95. It's got a wheel mouse, about 5 years old. Computer goes to sleep, wakes up, mouse will not work. Computers not frozen, mouse isn't broken, just it's stopped talking to the pointer on the screen. Restart computer and it's fine. Happens...

When I mouseover for a tooltip in the system tray, I keep getting the tooltip for the next item rather than the one I've actually got the mouse over. For example, just then I mouseovered F@H to check my folding and got my DUmeter stats instead. Been happening on and off for a couple of...

Mildy peturbed looking at my photo collection. I've got one photo in particular that I blurred out someones face. Used a fairly hefty dose of mosaic I think it was is PS, there's no way that the blurred face could possible be retrieved from the image. All well and good- except in windows, the...

Family computer next to me here. It goes to sleep, it'll wake up every 30 minites or so with a beep, screen will flash on. Usually it'll just go right back to sleep... then repeat 30 minutes or so later. It's not heat, it's a p200, it couldn't overheat if I took the heatsink and fan off and...

Have a HP deskjet 3650 connected to a USB port on my computer. Want to be able to share it over the network with at least the win98 box. First things first, the driver CD has always been a drink coaster, it didn't work fresh out of the box. For installation on my xp box, it was just a case of...

Somewhat peturbing. Never had this problem with the phoenix or firebird editions. It takes up to 7-8 seconds to open and up to 5-6 seconds to render a page. Switching tabs can take 5-6 seconds. Alt tabbing into it means again 5-6 seconds for page rendering. PIII @ 975, 512mb ram, winXP...

Picked it up a few times without actually buying it. Read mixed reviews. Looks interesting and different and for A$10 it's hardly a massive financial loss if it's not... Still, I'm curious if it's half as unique and whatnot as it's touted as.

Several kinds of whack even. It could be software or who knows what, so here will do. Yahoo web based email. There's one email that I wish to open, it's from a friend and has a powerpoint attachment. However, whenever I click on either the email or the attachment, I'm getting the following...

To cut a long story short, I created a web application for my parents business. Basically a database, php front end, served from apache and mysql on my box. It's always viewed on the other comp here. I went away last weekend, came back, ICS no longer worked, magically. Gave up on ICS and...

Buying a router Tired of ICS and confusion, going for a router. Choices are limited as I'm on Bigpond Cable- one of very few I believe that use a 'heartbeat' system that gets fu><0red with most setups, ie will drop out every 5-7 minutes under most setups. Special router required...

Setup: Cable modem to NIC #1 on my XP box. Crossover cable to the family comp, running windows 95, uses ICS to share the net connection. It has worked flawlessly since late 2002- absolutely nothing has changed in that time. Problem: Modem is fine. Net is fine for my comp. The...

I've got an old textbook in pdf format... broken up by chapter. Including appendixes and contents, all seperate chapters, it's got some 40 odd files. Makes it somewhat difficult to use :( Is there a way to merge them all into one large pdf file? Doesn't need any fancy bookmarking or anything...

No idea where this is coming from. Cable modem transmission light is on almost constantly, DUMeter says there's a dl of about 3kbs the whole time. Started about 45 minutes ago. Continued on after a reset of the computer. Scanned with adaware- nothing. Scanned with spybot- again, nothing...

A lot of the material I generate in the word processor is cut and paste from a browser. Especially nowdays when I'm creating study summaries from a variety of places. Problem I'm having is that the default paste goes to the web server, grabs the chunk of html and pastes that. Not good...

Not sure what section... so we put it here given it's caused by software of some sort. I went to bed with 259mb of HD space free on the 14gb windows partition of my HD. Woke up this morning and there's 1990mb free- more than 1.5gb or 10% of the drive has been freed up. I ran disk-cleanup...

Local EB was having a sale the other day... picked up W8 for A$10. Not very far into it... been at if for quite a while though. It's a lot fo fun, although I've been finding the combat a touch awkward and slow, even with combat speed and monster speed maxed out. I'm used to the 'Wizards and...

Stupid questions but I'm curious. Motherboard is an antique Gigabyte GA-6VXC7-4X This is a pic of it: http://www.morepc.ru/i/motherboard/4X.jpg First question- Between the AGP and proc slot is a copper heatsink covering... what? Northbridge? Second- just above the AGP port is a wee...

Our antique family computer is having a little trouble with ram. Pentium 200mmx, dating back to 97 I think... It had a 32mb stick in there. The other day the ps fan burnt out and the comp was getting rather unhealthy. Replaced the fan, swapped in a 64mb stick before I booted it post fan...

Few quick things please. First of all... eliminating quotation and apostrophes in input, or letting them be stored. Security isn't the issue, the system is only accessible internally, it just doesn't like them at the moment. Simple way of dealing with this? Second question... changing the...

Second hand gf4... worked wonderfully for a couple of days. Out new years eve, came back this afternoon on a really hot day, sat down at the computer. Quitely browsing forums, screen goes blank. Reset, there's strange artifacts on the screen. Posts fine, lilo screen has 'dirty' pixels all...

After a month the latest versions of kerio doesn't work with internet connection sharing unless you fork out for it. 2.1.5 works fine for me though :)
