  1. Just curious about partitions.

    My computer has C & D drives.

    D being Fat 32 with recovery stuff on it as supplied by the Emachine people.

    C is NTFS & what I use.

    I assume when I type in sfc /scannow anything screwed up will be replaced from "D".

    It has never asked me to insert the XP CD to recover files.

    I get along fine with this.

    Why does one want to add partitions?

    Is there a benefit to adding one or 2?

    Is a partition different from a drive (C or D or whatever)?

    If this is a stupid inquiry or out of place please ignore it.

    Thank you.

  2. Maybe this will help---

    smss.exe at ProgramChecker

    *********************

    update below in code

    C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386\smss.exe
    should it bere there? I am looking to see if that is the possible infection

    Ok,well when i try to boot my PC up it will go to log-in screen, and after logging in after a few seconds the computer restarts.

    I am currenlty in "safe mode with networking" scanning with my Norton, and if nothing comes up AVAST PRO.

    What i need is your opinions on what i am about to say

    To my belief it is a virus on my computer due to the fact that it will load up perfectly to log-in screen, and even load desktop ( until it restarts). This takes away the possibility of a HD issue.

    Hmmm just my luck, 9/10 months no computer, 2 months after being back another computer issue ( last one wasnt my fault, MOBO just fried). Well Can I get your opinions on what i said above THANKS

    I had to rename the .php to .html to view it,which will probably confuse the poster.

    He wanted .html which I provided.

    He is a beginner & I used simple HTML.

    Not perfect & up to strict standards but it works.

    I know using a blockquote to indent text is not supposed to be used but it works.

    If I had wanted to be a bit closer to standards I would have posted this---

    Most of the whitespace is gone & simple META tags are added.

    Of course different users may use a different character set.

    But Windows will display different sets since they are stored in the operating system.

    The code above would be hard to read for a beginner.

    With the code all scrunched up to eliminate unneeded space it is hard to read if you are not familiar with reading code.

    And he didn't ask for .xml.

    He asked for .html.

    Your version works good when viewed as .html.

    You wrote good code.

    I did too.For a beginner to look at.

    I suggested for him to view source & play with it.

    Another way would be to click "File" & choose "Save As" & choose Webpage Complete.

    Your computer will usually fix any errors in coding.

    Usually.

    Here is a picture of yours & mine side by side---

    See Picture

    They look the same.

    Poetry is just text.

    HTML represents text just fine.

    I think so anyways.

    ********************************************************

    [Edit: Curiosity got the better of me.]
    Post a "corrected" version.

    Here. HTML doesn't have the structural elements needed to represent poetry (which this is, at least structurally), so this is quick and dirty, but it validates as XHTML 1.0 Strict.

    Sanity demands a poetry-oriented XML application for this kind of thing.

  4. Altered version attached as a zip file.

    Unzip it & open the folder & open the HTML file.

    View source & edit & play with it since you are learning HTML.

    ***************************************************

    ive been trying to learn html and i just cant quite get the hang of it by the time i want this done. even though its probably like the simplest thing lol. i just want to change the color of some text and it has to be in .html form so i could past it on a web page or something of the sort.

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    SOLDIER.zip

  5. Find attached SOLDIER.html

    Open it with Notepad or download it & open it & click "View Source" to see the HTML code.

    Bold text would probably look better.

    Blue text is hard for me to read on a black background.

    I would like the background black. Regular times new roman font size 12. no need to include the ">>>>>" just showing the changes i would like.

    I had trouble downloading updates once & renamed the Software Distribution folder to Software Distribution Old.

    Then went to Windows Update & tried again & things worked.

    When I looked in C:\Windows I had a new Software Distribution folder.

    This may or may not work for you...

    *******************************

    I'm not seeing a security tab on the internet options panel.

    This has just happened out of nowhere.

    Also, when I go out to the Microsoft Updates site, it keeps telling me that i need to install update KB823353. Well, i've installed that update about 6 times already and it sais i've done it successfully. And it just keeps comming up.

    I've done spyware scans, virus scans, and others. Nothing.

    i'm running Windows XP service pack one. If anyone knows any solutions, please let me know. thanks.
