Welcome :) By buying more from them ? ;) Seriously this doesn't sound like a RAM problem. Messenger Alert Service is used to send network admin messages it's essentially a typically unused service - this is a classic way of spoofing you into downloading something nasty. I suspect you have...

Dan dan daaaaa there is always hope ;) If you still want to do this you can get an LCD controller board, you'll need to know the exact make and model of your panel then head over to here and you'll be able to get a model number for the board. These guys don't sell direct by the look of it but...

clicky - oh and btw for clarification a com port is a serial port.

This all depends on resolution and compression format. For a 2 hour video at PAL resolution 768x576 say using H.264 video and MPEG audio your looking at about 240gig :eek: however using XviD MPEG4 video codec it will be about 2.5gig :p experiment because some formats might not be compatible with...

You shouldn't loose quality after all VHS is poor quality anyway ;) I'm not sure why this is happening but it's certainly a long winded way around of doing it. I've got one of these it works fine with a TV source - using this to capture directly will be your easiest and best bet, though you...

rainman89 suggestion is good it's a quick and easy fix but can you clarify something, you say you tried to repair Windows again and it failed with the error you described but can you get into the recovery console ? (rather than the repair Windows) - when you boot with the disk in gets to the...

Service packs contain all the previously released updates, if you keep it updated by patching and you have all of those then no you don't need to. It's more of a 'package' so if you have to install a new copy of Windows you can apply all the patches in one go. There may however be ones in a...

There also been reports of certain anti-virus and adware/ spyware stuff breaking it as well. You could disable all you anti-nasties stuff change the setting and turn them back - worth a shot ! Firefox is excellent (check out the add on's ;)) but it doesn't work on some websites, Microsoft...

Are you running Norton by any chance ? There is a know issue with IE7 where the update to IE7 overrides the homepage protection in Norton, you need to disable this then change your homepage then re-enable (if you want to). I don't have Norton so cant point you to the exact location but I'm sure...

Have you done any update recently (Vista SP1 springs to mind) - if so rollback and see if that stops the problem.

Edition mode :confused: I'm not sure what you mean by this, apologies but could you explain what you want to achieve, I thought you wanted to have border appear around a picture, which you can do even if you are not traveling (transitioning) between slides by either using the animation timings...

Has this lag got gradually worse or have you installed a new program recently ?

Well it depends on the format of the data it could be in decimal or hex or a mix of numbers and letters and they may no necessarily be related to the 'data' you entered. There are ways but I would be reluctant to reveal them because: This wouldn't happen to be license key would it ? If so what...

It's there ! right click on a blank part the toolbar and tick the Visual Basic toolbar. But why would you want to do this ? use the animations already in PowerPoint to create a border that appears either on mouse click or after a set amount of time - simple :p

It depends on what you mean by good - visually you'll benefit if you have a DirectX 10 compatible graphics card as Vista supports it (XP doesn't). The latest games are written with DirectX 10 in mind so you'll also need a decent PC to run them anyway ;). As far as backwards compatability goes...

Before you do this I'd double check your warranty I know some manufacturers will insist this should not be deleted to honer the warranty but of course you may have already invalided it by removing Vista ;) But yes you can clicky it's for Vista but I think it should work with XP, another option...

I'm certainly not going to buy one from Dell it will be a proper PC :p and I'm choosing a manufacturer that allows me to choose no O/S option but it is bit mute point for me as I'll need Vista to make use of DX10. I think you have a thing against Dell ;) they certainly used to do a trick where...

IMO it has to be ignorance (or maybe a lack of vision), the music, film and major software houses have missed a trick - online distribution via P2P, if they realised the potential earlier they could have made their 'products' available at a greatly reduced cost. I would happily pay a few quid to...

Off the top of my head you could use VB and design a program to log key presses or maybe download a sample a VB programmer would be in a better position to offer a specific way to do this (sorry not a coder) though be warned they wouldn't give this information easily as it could be used by...

What really gets me most about this is do they not realise what can be done can be undone. People will crack DRM, produce tools to remove them, figure out methods to bypass activation virtually anything to get around such restrictions. This applies to both pirated software and legit bought...
