  3. hi team this isnt a political message but a fact of life Dick Cheney and George W. Bush were having breakfast at the White House. The attractive waitress asks Cheney what he would like, and he replies, "I'd like a bowl of oatmeal and some fruit." "And what can I get for you, Mr. President?" George W. looking up from his menu, replies with his trademark wink and slight grin, "How about a quickie this morning?" "Why, Mr. President!" the waitress exclaims, "How rude! You're starting to act like Mr. Clinton!" As the waitress storms away, Cheney leans over to Bush and whispers........... "It's pro
  4. i thought this quote is true and i makes us think about the world and regulations it happens in my country marty In the year 2007, the Lord came unto Noah, who was now living in California, and said, "Once again, the earth has become wicked and overpopulated, and I see the end of all flesh before me. Build another Ark and save 2 of every living thing along with a few good humans." He gave Noah the blueprints, saying, "You have 6 months to build the Ark before I will start the unending rain for 40 days and 40 nights." Six months later, the Lord looked down and saw Noah weeping in his yard bu
  5. it is good idea to clean your sys after an install or when you add hardware or soft ware and most important you need to defrag you sys as when your files and folders are scattered all over the hdd and the sys has to hunt for those files and folders if they are scattered then your sys will slow down marty

  11. Motorcyclist Killed After High-Speed Crash Overnight Tuesday April 17, 2007 11:07am Posted By: Kevin King Tulsa - A Broken Arrow man was killed early Tuesday morning after a motorcycle accident on Highway 169 near 81st Street. Witnesses say the cyclist was going faster than 100 miles per hour when he crashed into the back of a semi truck between 81st and 91st Street at about one o'clock Tuesday morning.

  12. are you able to disable the onboard sound card and try a sound card in the pci slot then see if it gives problems i think sound cards are cheap here in new zealand sound cards are $5 for a sixty mg that is good enough for testing did you disable the automatic restarts and does your compt restart in safe mode if it does it is a hardware problem if it dosent it is a software problem or thios is how you trouble shoot marty

  15. yes i had the digital tv discontinued but i can relay it throught my compt monitor in new zealand tv isnt the easiest of medias to use. and tho our tv is free to air by the main carriers there are things like hardware that make it quite dear to start with. so i thought i might try compt tv i read where tv chanels are plentifull in the sys thanks marty
  16. with my own compt i found restarts are caused by hardware issues like display and sound card drivers or virus or hijack many posters do not include these issues when they post my suggestion go to device manager and uninstall those video and sound card drivers then reboot as windows will find the drivers then go to start-control panel -sys -advanced- sys recovery-settings - and uncheck automatic restarts this will stop the restarts or is suppose to but you need to find out why it has been giving this trouble and at a guess i would say 3 reasons hardware- virus -hi-jack marty
