errr, ok so i guess ill explain, you get points by Trading your stuff, You put crap up, people want it, they use there "Points" to buy it, the $1 is for shiping, its $1 not..15 or whatever you were talking about. I read the website, you still have to put your own money in to have enough points to buy anything worth getting.

I see three (3) things that can attribute to that. StyleXP Alcohol 120 Utorrent.exe these are all running processes, so they take memory. if you disable these on startup and you still have problems then we need to look elsewhere.

another catch 22 on there. The seller sets the number of points they want for what they are selling. so it really isn't $1. here is the breakdown as I see it. $1=1point, Average Item on site=15 points 15 points = $15 upon signing up you get 5 points to get a free cd, dvd, or game. Average item for sale = 15 points, there for you still have to buy 10 points at a dollar a point. is it just me or does that seem like a scam???

hi just2good4u3434, I'm looking at your log, and for the most part it is clean. what problems are you having so we can better diagnose what you're dealing with? not all malware, viruses, trojans, etc will show on hjt log because they don't necessarily put a registry entry in place.

Thanks for the reply, I will call him today and have his wife check out the driver. He wont touch the PC. And Bozodog, they don't install any games they just use what came with the PC. Defrag isn't necessary, but I will have them dump the cookies and temp files while I have them on the phone. They live in Denver and I live on the Western Slope of Colorado or I wouldn't have had to post a message. I can usually fix a PC if it is in front of me, but it's not as easy when I can't tinker with it. even if they don't download games on the system, it's still a good idea to run defrag. Games aren't

Any business would be great; linux business would be a dream come true. I wish I was getting that kind of business. This last month for me just sucked. I am barely breaking even on my yellow pages ad and phone line. On a positive note, the few calls I have got have been referrals or repeat customers. I know I have been giving people great prices with great service, it is just a matter of time for stuff to pick up. just remember, your best advertising is free. Word of mouth. the first year is always the leanest, and is generally your primary make or break year. If you can get through the firs

god I wished my backyard view looked like that. Great pic

the time it takes to load up a livecd is not that much quicker then the time it takes to open the case, and write the numbers down. if you have a generic printer that you can hook up to the computer, providing the work is being done in your shop, you can print out the lspci info then you have them readily available to type in and get the drivers when you boot up the new system. Then I keep that copy with the code for that specific mobo/hardware configuration and the computer model it is in, that way I don't have to do it again if I get a similar system to work on. I have been lucky lately, I h

you have me a little confused on the Kerio statement. why do you think it came with spyware???? I use Kerio myself, to me it's the easiest free firewall out there. you have good control on what you want it to do. it's not overly bloated, like ZA or some others I know of.

I stand corrected, thanks jcl

Nobody will go out and buy a brand new computer because of this. Joe Blow doesn't know how to use Linux, and he definitly doesn't want to go out and purchase a new computer. You can expect some sort of problem to take place with the new idea - but there are always issues in everything new. However, 10 times out of 10, unless you have a pirated copy, if you call up Microsoft (or India) and tell them, you'll get a new code when you have activation problems have you ever been in a linux forum? you would be surprised at how many "joe blows" are already jumping into linux because of the occasio

It will most likel install the 2.6.15 kernel and change menu.lst to boot that kernel, all that should be necessary is editing menu.lst. cool thanks

since we hijacked that thread unintentionally I split all relevent part dealing with upgrading to dapper drake to a seperate topic.

thanks naruku, I may just go ahead and do it, I have backed up my important files already. still need ftp my kernel to my server so it's easily accessible. Edit: as an after thought, in my case would it actually downgrade to that kernel since I'm running 2.6.16.10?

based on that I will wait until the June release date and then burn a copy of the ISO, I spent the last two weeks setting this thing back up the way i want it after putting it on a new hard drive.

should be safe, from what I am seeing it is actually connected to documents and settings, thats not a normal location for ms office to store a registry entry.

the actual heart of the operating system, the kernel, is the only thing that really is specially coded. Generally the Kernel is done in C+ or even C# now, the rest of the operating system is done based on the OS creator, Windows and Mac use C+ and/or VBscript, while Linux mainly uses Bash, Python, Boa etc....

found one, you will have to do a little modification to make exactly like you want, but that shouldn't be too hard to figure out if you know css at all. http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex1/...inkvertical.htm

thats done with a javascript code and css, I'll have to find the javascript for it, I'll post a link to it as soon as I find it.

this will send more people screaming for Linux or getting rid of their PC's and going to Mac I think. Let them do it I say, in the long run they may actually hurt themselves, I agree with idea of protecting their software, but as stated before, what kind of effect will this have on legit customers who "accidently" get snagged by this bugger? For example, do I have to worry about getting nailed for it because I lost my cd key and called them for a replacement keycode???? I'll let you know what happens. I guarantee if it does happen first thing I'm doing is calling them up and yelling at them t

Hi handplane, could you please get me the entire key entry, from the registry, for that. there isn't enough info in that screenshot to give you an accurate answer. from the little bit I can see, it seems a funny entry for a² to grab onto. An Actual Windows program entry.

shanenin, Let me know if that upgrades the kernel also please. if it does then I need to make sure I ftp my kernel src to my server to make sure I get everything working correctly again. I might just go ahead and give it a run on the actual machine. It could just be my vmware that did it to me.

I popped in vmware player on this machine and installed ubuntu 5.10 to test the upgrade process Naruku mentioned. I must be one of the numerous people at the Ubuntu forums that end up with a dead OS on attempting this. totally borked the system to the point where I would have to reinstall from scratch.

no worries, thats what I'm here for
