Today, I found out that hackers are "quietly" getting into peoples pages by adding themselves as your friends but you dont know it unless you go into "EDIT FRIENDS" and you find a friend that says "this profile has been deleted" with a red X over the picture. If you see these, you need to delete them immediately. Like I said, they will not show up on your page under your friends list, unless you go into "EDIT FRIENDS".
On your home page go to EDIT FRIENDS. (THEY ONLY SHOW UP UNDER EDIT FRIENDS FOR SOME REASON)
Then check to see if any of them say
"This Profile No Longer Exists"
If there are some there, delete them. It will bring your number of friends down, but if you go and count your actual friends beforehand it will be the accurate number afterwards. Let everyone you talk to on myspace know about this."

Most of the time people do it just to get you angry/get in your head. The more you fight back, the happier they are.

QQ more. Hahahaha just kiddin' man. What I hate most in WoW is when ppl randomly gank you or ask you for stuff like they are the king of the world.

I've roamed around HP's site for a bit. When it's plugged into the Dell, what color is the power lite blue or amber? In the monitor menu there's an advanced settings option you should look closely at. Besides power management in Windows, you also have power management settings in the BIOS. Which should be set to "never". I have zero experience with Dell. I know their BIOS is propietary and I have no idea of the settings. If it's not that and it's not your cables, quite possibly you graphics card might not be able to handle it? Let me know if you fix it, I'll look some more

Well it seems to be working after a format, I went to the boot menu and tried normal, it did the same thing, but I was able to format from safe mode and it is working fine now.
I just got a brand new HP monitor and I am trying to set it up on my old Dell. So far every time I plug it in it goes to sleep automatically and will not come out. I've tried switching this monitor for that one, and with my laptop, it works on every comp except the Dell, and every one works on the Dell except that one. What would be going on? I tried taking out the graphics card and using the mobo only but that didn't work either. Calling HP did no good either. Any help would be greatly appreciated.LOL. I love your sig Potato!
=P thank you!

Well I just got my new computer up and running, and let me just say, AMD Athlon X2 Dual Core 4200+ versus my old 700mhz dell, is a helluva difference.
Now I'm wondering a few things:1) I noticed a lot of pre-installed stuff, some of which was AOL related, mostly useless junk that I don't want, but I'm not sure if it is necessary to keep there, or can I just go ahead and get rid of it?
2) Norton came pre-installed and I want to get rid of it, how should I go about doing this?
3) Is there anything I should know about XP Media Center? Is it similar to XP Home? My laptop runs XP home, but other than that, I've only ever used winME.
4) Do new computers come with all drivers updated? If not, where do I go to get them? (It's an HP if that matters.)
Thanks in advance!

Example of an incautious, and in my opinion, not very smart teen. Any person with common sense would know not to publish their personal info on a public site, and the fact that she "didn't know it was public" goes to show most people don't read the warnings or gather info about what they're signing up for....Last year, as Margaret Sullivan was reviewing the websites her 13-year-old daughter had visited on the family computer, up popped something called myspace.com. Curious, she clicked on it. "Oh, my God," she thought, as she brought up a page with her daughter's full name, photograph, and school name and location in Wood-Ridge, N.J., along with personal details like her favorite bands and TV shows. "I was so upset," says Sullivan. "All someone had to do to find her was call up the school." At first, her daughter, Shannon, denied knowing anything about the site. "I knew she wasn't going to like what was up there," she says. But Shannon was distressed, too. She couldn't believe her mom was nosing around what she thought was a private place online. "I didn't know everyone could see my page," says Shannon. "I just thought it was a way to talk with my friends."......But MySpace has captured parents' imaginations like no other, and in the worst possible way. To many parents, who may have gotten an eyeful of its sometimes-titillating profiles and photos, MySpace seems like Lake Wobegon gone horribly wrong: a place where all the women are fast, the men are hard-drinking, and the children take an above-average interest in imitating them. How can they allow their kids to roam freely in such an environment? Anyone could be lurking there...That is a horrible stereotype, and is not true, at least in the case of my friends.
...Among the many millions of people visiting these sites, some, indeed, are sexual predators, and there have been some highly publicized accounts of teenagers who've been lured into offline meetings at which they've been assaulted. Parents, understandably, are traumatized by such stories...They also fail to mention that the FBI and police use it to catch said 'predators'.
I think this article was fairly bias, from a parents standpoint, which seems to be the problem with most articles/news stories about myspace. No one gives the teens a chance to speak and when they do they change the wording to make myspace sound bad.

I'm not entirely sure actually, I know it was the cover of their DVD. I found it on their site.

Well I guess I'll get in on this too

(P.S. Just for clarification, the 'whited out' files are NOT inappropriate.)

I actually had a similar problem. If i would play music (or any sound for that matter) I would only get it out of the right speaker. I plugged in headphones to the speakers themselves, and same thing unless I jiggled the chord. I tried plugging a headset into the back speaker jack, and it works fine, so in my case its the speakers. Your problem however does not sound like a speaker issue, or you would be having similar problems as me, IMO and the fact that it works on your iPod is even more suspect to the sound card thing.
(P.S. I would go ahead and try another set of speakers since you have them laying around just to see what they do?)

So I was talking to my friend, and he was complaining about computer troubles. I gave him the link to Spybot S&D and a few other things, and I ask him how it went. Heres what he said:
"Hey how'd Spybot work for you?"
"Good it fixed 108 problems"
"
Whoah."
I never knew...
