Slow is the key; it often takes as long as if not longer to loose excess weight as it took to gain it. The other day someone I had not seen in a while asked if I was putting on weight. I said no, I was loosing it. Since I knew I had lost weight since they last saw me I was a bit confused and mentioned it to the OL. She pointed out that all this walking has toned my legs and butt and caused my lungs to expand (and my arms and shoulders have grown because the husky likes to run in circles around us as we jog along so I have to keep raising my arm overhead and circling her lead and switching le

Could be an issue with DHCP if one machine is set to a fixed IP and the others set to obtain automatically and you power on the ones with automatic before the one with fixed or you do not place the fixed outside of the range of automaticly assigned IPS

System Idle Process is a place holder that shows how much of the time your CPU is sitting idle doing absolutely nothing. So 74% of the time your CPU has nothing to do., meaning it has plenty of free power to do things . If this is a laptop, check the power settings. Try changing everything to desktop/ always on. Most laptops these days have a variable speed processor which runs slower to conserve power unless there is an actual demand for its full power. So yours may be running at 1/4 speed because it knows it has 74% idle time. (There may also be a bios setting ot disable variable speed, but

Well, I never thought I was overweight; but a couple months ago My OL and I started a program of taking the dogs for a walk around the block every morning. I would take two and she would take one . But since we have five dogs we either had to alternate dogs, or I would take the other two for a walk after we returned. Then for various reasons she decided she preferred not to take a dog , so I moved to taking three at a time., taking the youngest dog (the new husky) on both walks. Eventually this evolved into I take the three youngest (the husky, ridgeback pitt, and the german shepherd) for a t

Of course you can't. You have Microsoft Security Essentials set to lock access to them. O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [MSSE] "c:\Programmi\Microsoft Security Essentials\msseces.exe" -hide -runkey O6 - HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions present

I suggest running PC decrapifier to remove any of the bundled trial offers included in the recovery. This often helps a lot; but I suspect that the problem may be a jammed updater. Is it by any chance an instance of Svchost.exe that is using all the CPU cycles? If so it is almost certain that it is an automatic updater for one of your applications that has jammed on an out of sequence update or cannot connect to or log off from the update server (generally because you are using an older out of date version of the application which has an old out of date updater).

Written for Vista but applies ot others too http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-is-the-prefetch-folder Basically if you clear it out, things slow down until it gets repopulated. If you leave it alone , eventually unused entries will get removed. You can think of it as bunch of shortcut links sort of, it keeps track of where on the hard drive files you use a lot when you run programs you use a lot or which load during windows startup and it tells windows to prefetch a copy from the hard drive to RAM or at least swap file (depending on when it will be needed) so that it is pr

I agree that when you experience slowdowns you should rule out malware first. But since you mention a svchost entry eating resources and that killing firefox and acrobat reader seem to solve the problem ; this generally is associated with a malfunctioning automatic updater. Since both of these have automatic updaters it could well be a problem with them. My suggestion if this is the case is to disable the automatic updater in question (or disable all automatic updaters) Then manually go and run updaters for each one you disabled. Once you have all updates installed and have restarted your comp

My dogs know how to open the screen/ storm door . They know to push the lever down on the inside with a paw and then push the door to open . They also have mastered the technique of standing up and pressing the thumb button to get the door to unlatch from the outside and prying the door open with their claws or hitting it to make it bounce open enough to stick a muzzle in. So in spring and fall they can go in and out at will pretty much. Summer it is to hot to leave the heavy main door open for them to have access to the storm door, but then again other than early morning and late evening th

I hear that Google is releasing an Android based Tablet PC, probably just in time for black friday. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/04/12/google-tablet-pc-details_n_533860.html http://www.techsurf.com/2010/08/19/google-tablet-features-release-date-and-specs-rumored/ Rumored to be an IPAD killer "The Google Tablet features a NVidia’s Tegra 2, a 1280×720 multitouch display, 2GB of RAM, minimum 32GB SSD, WiFi/Bluetooth/3G connectivity, GPS and webcam."

Well I doubt I would have gone for it. Probably a Netbook or even an ereader with some ebooks. I like the new Windows Tablets that are coming out with two touch screens which fold together to protect themselves. But they are still a bit pricey. http://mashable.com/2010/01/27/9-upcoming-tablet-alternatives-to-the-apple-ipad/ Or the Compal which runs android http://gizmodo.com/5443299/hands-on-with-compals-tegra-2-android-tablet http://mashable.com/2009/12/24/notion-ink-tablet/

Yep system restore looks like the first thing to try , if not that try these suggestions http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/130095-user-profile-service-failed-logon-user-profile-cannot-loaded.html Ah here it is , Microsofts answer http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947215 They have a guided help automated fix there if you can login to safe mode with networking.

Are you outputting to your TV from your PC and then trying to loop the video output from the TV back into the PC ? I do not think you can do this. I think the output from the TV is intended to go to a sound system , an audio receiver / amplifier not back to your PC sound card. You are asking the sound card to do two things at once, decode the audio track and send it to the TV and simultaneously monitor the TV output and amplify it to speakers. Pretty sure you cannot do this.

Best wishes to you and yours for a speedy recovery joe. I long since realized that time spent together is far more important to me than material goods. Yes money is necessary to pay the taxes, pay the bills , replace the A/C when it fails etc; but a lot of stuff people dedicate their lives to accumulating really has no meaning if you cannot share it with the ones you love; and if you have no time to be together then the time spent accumulating wealth has little meaning. Having been through it from both sides (My stay in the hospital when I got shot and the OLs stay when she had a heart attac

Sorry, had to laugh at that one. None of my neighbors say they can smell anything either. Me? I often can't even go outside it's so bad. I have to close the windows on days when the breeze is just so. But, nope, no smell, poop sitting in the yard smells like angel's breath to them. Don't get me wrong; dog poop smells especially if you step in it or otherwise disturb it. Likewise if they do it inside on the potty patch you can tell right away. But outdoors, especially in the summer when it bakes dry in a few hours it really does not have a chance to become offensive unless you pick it up an

Well , now that the puppies are all gone I may have to start taking pictures of other things. Of course this is really not the time of year to take pictures of Dallas (or Texas in general). Today is supposed to be 104, and this is supposed to continue for another seven days at least. Lows in the upper eighties and no rain. Six more weeks of summer and if anything survives then we will get some respite for the fall.

I have five big dogs (lets put the combined weight between 450 and 500 lbs) . I guess I should collect the waste and do something with it but if I just leave it there in a couple days the rolly pollys (pill bugs) are hard at work breaking it down. No smell out back in wet or dry weather. The city charges a "storm water treatment fee" claiming they have to treat storm water due to contamination with animal waste so I figure I might as well get my money's worth since I have a large lot and they charge by the square foot. In reality unless we have a real gully washer of a downpour there is

Did you try this monitor on another computer? To me it sounds like the monitor is bad (power supply or backlight issue).

Wow, how time flies. 21 already. Seems like just yesterday that they said you were too young to be a moderator at G4. Where does time go. Congratulations Jeff.

Thank you for the positive feedback. That helps the next guy who googles it. Saw the thread and even before clicking it I remembered encountering the problem and solution so I figured I would have to remember where I had helped someone solve this problem. Glad to see it was just a confirmation that this is the fix.

My guess is that you set one up to automatically download from the other rather than setting it up to automatically forward to the other. If you set something like this up, you may want to try disabling it and see if that solves your problem . If so you can work from there. Either set things up in the other account or set things up to forward instead of to download.

Like Arthur Jackson I have two sheds. One , a metal shed I purchased at the Home Depot and the other a wooden shed I designed and built myself. I need to replace the siding on the one I build because I had intended it to be a temporary solution and I just used OSB and never got to covering it. But it has held up well considering. Maybe some time this summer I will go ahead and strip that off and put on new hardiboard or T-1-11. I need to clean it out too, it is packed solid with crap. The other metal shed , I regret not getting a floor kit or making one, just anchored it using rebar pounde

Invalid entries in the registry will not slow your computer , at least not noticeably. They may cause a few extra microseconds in the length of time it takes to boot up but once the registry is built they have no effect if they are not accessed. Corrupt registry entries are very unlikely since when windows boots up it builds the registry from scratch each time from the various hive files . It compares this registry to the last one it built and if their checksums match no problem if there is corruption it prompts you to reboot and use system restore to restore the previous one. Most "registry

Yeah definately it is possible..........Deleteing the files or data only deletes the reference to them. The files are still on the hard drive until they are overwritten...... There are programs or softwares that will find these deleted data.....Advanced disc recovery is a type of application which is used to recover lost data...it can also recover data from formatted hard disc .....u can also try this.........
