  4. A Big Problem...

    in Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP

    Posted

    The only thing i can think of to do, is take the hard drive out and put it in another computer and backup the files.

    OR

    insert your windows xp disk, CAREFULLY READ EACH INSTRUCTION, and choose a "REPAIR INSTALL" or something like that, cross your fingers and install, do not click or choose anything with FORMAT written on it.

  5. Computer Lockup

    in Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP

    Posted

    Quick action is to simply use the disks that come with the computer and re-install the operating system and not to "re-do" the same thing again

    Other things you can try is

    open up run ->

    type in -> sfc /scannow

    this will return all windows system files back to their original state (this is assuming you have the windows xp home disk, and you can actually boot into windows, if you cant try safemode (press f8 on startup)).

  6. Netwrok Sharing

    The best VNC program (and ive used Real, Tight, Windows w/e) is UltraVNC, it is extremly easy to setup and a quick download. Be sure to set it up on your dads (allow it though the firewall, start on startup so on and so forth). I wouldnt use the windows one because if theres ever a day when you need to do it with linux... then you will be familyar with a program and you wont have to migrate.

    The link for UltraVNC is http://ultravnc.sourceforge.net

  7. G4 Is Closing Its Tech Support Board

    in Open Chat

    Posted

    Best words i can say is dont get upset, oh okay your stats cant be transfered but seriously this is life. The better people in life are the ones who can adapt to a new situation. Im sure if theres anything you dont like on these board's, if you offer a suggestion jeff would at least consider it.

    Ive never watched G4, as i dont have it in ireland. So im not going to rant about it ;).

    Hope you enjoy the forums

  10. Obsessed With Computers?

    in Open Chat

    Posted

    Its not a keylogger, I examined the headers it was sending and its only keystrokes.

    And yes i do write all the news articles that i submit to my site, however. When i was coding the actual site i logged up 250,000+ keystrokes in one week. Being on IRC also helps.

  11. Obsessed With Computers?

    in Open Chat

    Posted

    I love computers, use them day night and morning (and yes in that order). I use them for creativity, gaming, and socializing. So, how obsessed with computers am i? Well in the last 10 months ive typed 4.5million keys, and clicked half as much. Which means that for each and every second of my natural life (including sleep, showering, on the toilet or pretty much any time im not infront of a computer) i am typing 0.17keys a second!

    So that means every 10 seconds im typing in my sleep nearly 2 keys. How obsessed are you?

  17. Anti-piracy Check Number 2

    in On The Web

    Posted

    People usualy dont understand when i say microsofts biggest competor is microsoft them selves. There is more pirated versions of windows than there is linux/unix desktops. I wish microsoft would have 2 versions, a version with support and one without (support being defined as "phone" and "e-mail")
