  1. I got a friend's computer today. This is what she described.

    She has a Dell Inspiron 2200 laptop with Windows XP. She used a Verizon Wireless PCMCIA internet card to gain access to the internet. She said she pulled the card out of the laptop, and received a BSOD, she tried to reboot and she said the computer got stuck on the Windows XP bootup window for like 10 min. She tried again and the same thing.

    She gave the computer to me. I plugged in the card, and turned on the laptop. I had the same problem. So I restarted again and hit F12 for Setup. I then came to the Safe Mode menu, and it said something about a hardware issue, and I could go into safe mode or normal mode, etc. I chose safe mode, and then booted up. I tried to open the Verizon Connection box and connect to the internet, but it said the card was in use with another application. There were no other applications running.

    So then I went to Start, Restart, and now the computer went back the Windows Boot up screen and it's sitting on a black screen with a movable white arrow. The hard drive activity light shows no HD activity.

    What should I do? And what might have gone wrong?

  2. DRM is digital rights management is what is used to prevent copying of cd's. What you are trying to do won't work anyway because you are trying to put 2 hours of music on a cd formatted to hold only 70 - 80 minutes and still be playable on a normal cd player. Even if you reduce the quality the cd burner and software will still only allow that many minutes of music on the cd. So basically you cannot do that

    Thanks for the info. I don't see how DRM can be on this cd b/c it's a man speaking at my church, and we copied it to a cd in data form, and wanted to see how we could get it to work.

    Oh well.

  3. if you want it on cd in mp3 format you only need to copy it to the cd with a program like nero. If you try to burn it back to a cd under normal means it is probably trying to burn it back as a wma with 2 hrs of music on s 70 or 80 minute cd. you need to burn it as a data cd

    I guess I failed to mention that I need it to be an audio cd that will play in a cd player, not a data cd. I tried to burn using nero as an audio cd and it wouldn't work.

    As I said, DRM.

    You saying DRM does not help me. I don't know what a DRM means, does this mean it's impossible or possible?

  5. No, I am not trying to be malicious! Trust me. I am just trying to understand ip addresses.

    Hi rjmiller15, yes they would be related. I'm weary to get in depth about this as malicious intents shall not become the topic of discussion. However, here is some info: AOL uses all the ip addresses between 64.12.0.0 - 64.12.255.255 All ISPs have a NetRange.

  6. I understand that with ip addresses, and dialup, you can constantly change your ip address. However I noticed that a certain person (who I am tracking with an ip address) uses AOL. Everything has been the same with their ip except the last 3 digits.

    Example: 64.12.116.XXX is their ip The "xxx" keeps changing.

    I found another ip - which is 64.12.117.xxx. Would this ip address be in any relation to the 64.12.116??? Or am I way off here?

  7. My sis in law has a Hp Pavilion 754N. She had a system fan failure start on her computer a few weeks after she got it, and sent the computer away and supposedly got it fixed. Here it is a year later, and the same thing is happening.

    "System fan failure, the system will shut down in 15 seconds..." or something very close to that effect.

    Does system fan failure mean the CPU fan is bad? She opened her computer and all the fans in the case are running until the computer shuts down.

    What does this error mean? And if it is the CPU fan where can I get a fan to fit the cpu on that particular motherboard?

    Thanks in advance.

  8. This sounds so junior high, but my sister-in-law were online last night and some dude with the aol screename surferdude15066 im'd us. He knew our names, and our ages which is highly strange that he would im us at the same time and know our info.

    He was saying some horrible deraggatory stuff and calling us "f-ing whores" etc. we are youth workers at our church and truly think it's a young person trying to be cool. We'd love to call this little brat out and was wondering if there was a way to get this kid's ip or something?

    Anyone have any ideas?

  9. The free version can not transfer files, I am not sure about the paid versions, but i am guessing that you can.

    I currently have created a shared folder on my computer and I transfer any files I need upto this pc.

    But of course, that will only work on an local intranet.

    :) Depends how your using VNC and for what environment.

    Good luck :thumbsup:

    Can you refresh my memory on how to do that? I am running XP Home. Is this possible?

  10. My friend just called me. She is running XP and her printer (an HP I assume) was printing some documents when she lost power to her computer and printer. When she turned the printer back on the document was stuck in the print queue and she couldn't print anything else.

    She right-clicked and deleted the job, which is said "deleting..." but now it's been a whole day and the job won't go away.

    She has unplugged the printer and plugged it back in, restarted, everything.....short of uninstalling the printer.

    Does she need to uninstall and reinstall or is there an easier way?

    Thanks in advance.
