  1. My mind wouldn't be functioning either with all that shaking going on down there. :blink:

    hi TT

    yes there are many aftershocks

    at least two or every 2-3 hrs

    it is the first time in all my years ive had to sleep with the passage light

    and the front door unlocked

    in our drill we get out as fast as wee can

    tho the after xhocks have bin small it is enough to keep you awake

    ive gotten used to them now and carry on life as before

    but many thousands have left the city

    ive just recently came home from a holiday in australia

    and would i have loved to shift there

    2 words YOU BET

    BUT MY FAMILY ARE HERE AND I NEED TO BE NEXT TO THEM

    thanks for your help as it seems when i post for a fix

    you are an invaluable poster and ime glad

  2. Here is JSKYs page about cleaning and repairing the Prefetch folder.

    Prefetch Files

    thanks TT that is the secod time my compt has crashed

    the pretch article is quite interesting

    and to delete isnt as important as it is cracked up to be it is there for a purpose

    i was taught to delete them ewvery now and then

    \but in jc"s

    article it is better to let the sys take ite natural course

    this time layout didnt come when i installed windows

    as it was i changed my hdd

    to a bigger drive

    but layout is there now

    my compt is quite fast on cable

    connection

    i wasent looking for speed

    i though prefetch was part of the cleaning

  4. hi team i want to mention the quake in japan

    my sympathy goes to all those people who are affected

    and if there is any japanese posters n the board

    ide like to say i know what you are going through

    for the size of the quake

    the loss of life was small thank goodness

    compared with the size of the population

    the japanese peo-le have to live with quakes

    so they are better prepared than most othere countrys

    tho if only one is killed that is a tragic

    give a thought to those who lost lives

  5. Glad to hear they gave out vouchers. Are the stores open yet or are you supposed to redeem them at some sort of relief center?

    Are the stores open yet or are you supposed to redeem them at some sort of relief center?

    yes some stores are open much is free

    and if you get a voucher from the earthqake comm

    it is free

    i see all peole on a old age benifit

    who have ahd some sort of damage

    like comt and tv crashed and shelved and spilloed every thing to the floor

    i can claim $500

    i would prefer it go to some one who needs food and shelter for the children

    but that is the earthquakes commissionjs policy

    i have very goos neibors

    as my water ins on yet many have bought me bottles and plastic bags of water

    this makes me very humble

    there are still godd people out there

    this morning a lady bought me muffins

  8. ok i got a food voucher organised

    for $250

    plus a petrol voucher tho i dont drive my friend drove me there

    so the 4o galls will go to him

    at first the organised relief was abit lax

    but now every thing in full swing and weel organised

    the center i went was the nz red cross

    and i must give them a plug

    they are a fantastic team

    as a diabetic

    the food i need it

    different and more costly but it is some thing

    tho i have plenty of money my bank is closed for repairs as all banks here are

    so the voucher comes in handy

    if any one is assocciated with a red cross in your area

    say a kind word for them from nz for me

    but ive got to get it off my mind

    thanks team

  15. hi team

    ive just managed to get my compt on line

    yes it was pretty devastating

    more so with the deaths

    and worse still i knew some one who is missing

    this quake was 3-4 times bigger than the sep one

    my house had no damage structurely but any thing a foot from the floor crashed

    some one quoted 6.3

    bullshit if they lived in my house they would know different

    ishould say somwhere about 8.5

    the deaths and the

    devistation

    will proove that

    i saw a statistic on after shocks has bin a thousand since the big one

    some you couldnt feel

    and others had me running for the door

    one ot the worse factors

    no water no toilets no power

    and no road access

    and you can imagine all that made me wished i was living

    on the moon

    as i only bin able to get my tv going that i can catch up my self

    as the news comes a cross

    ile keep you in touch

    thanks for your concern

    in the first quake i near shit my self

    this time i hit the jackpot

    love ya all

    marty

  16. That is one of the costs you face when you go with a new OS, often you find that your hardware is not compatible.

    Yes, you can try running things in compatibility mode, but remember that it may cause problems (freezes, crashes , conflicts with other devices..)

    Since it still works on the XP machine; you may find that the best option is to keep it connected to that one and use it if you need to use the device. Then eventually go and buy a new win7 compatible one for the new machine.

    yes pete i agree with your post

    ive confined it to the winxppro machine

    i tried to do away with the compatability sys

    when i loaded win 7

    i didnt checked the boxes

    but it made no difference

    it is there so ime stuck with it
