Thanks for updating us bro!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SL-Mark & Bernice Thanks, will have a look

seanic.net

I used them for 10 years at very small cost and no charge for domain name but you can't take it with you.

MadMonkey: Would suggest www.godaddy.com

Not really a Computer problem, more of a Website problem (which i dont know a lot about lol).

A friend of mine runs a Cheer-leading pack of young girls. They have won awards everywhere, and even at there young ages have traveled the world. She needs a website, and asked me where is the best/cheapest place to buy a name and hosting site for the cheerleaders ? She already have the names she want for the page and they are available too (as in no one has them yet).

Any ideas or help would be great anyone :)

(Maybe BrainKing should sponsor them lol)

Found the answer... Unlike my old card, the new one has pre-set min/max range on the GPU and memory for over-clocking. So the Catalyst Control centre no longer needs to test in this range for stability problems. Although, it is advised to keep below 95%.

Above that, the likes of MSI afterburner are required with the safeties disengaged. And in my case (which I am doing) add additional cooling.

Does anyone know whether there is a problem with the AMD overdrive function (within the Catalyst Control functions)and certain ATI graphics cards? In this case a ati radeon 6450.

The auto tune and test stability do not appear, even though on my old card they were visible and worked.

I used the manufacturers version of the Catalyst control centre, I've not tried the ATI version.. so it could be that, just I wondered if anyone has had similar or has heard of this problem.

Cheers :)

rod03801: Yes, sorry should have included the following links. Hope they help!

hmmmm, apparently Ilivid carries this with it: Trojan-Downloader.win32.Agent.bmza

Still doing some digging. It seems I've gotten rid of the problem so far.

SL-Mark: That's great if you read sign language. He says there's a video that he later made with subtitles, but the one I found didn't have the best ones.

Artful Dodger: Do not download ilivid. This guy has the answer.

Somehow I installed this download manager or whatever it is. I thinik it was bundled with another software (maybe ccleaner). Apparently Ilivid has a good reputation with some reputable sites because from what I've read just today, it has a 5 star rating from download.com.

But for the past month I've had horrible problems with a very slow computer. Very slow. It got so bad that I thought it was just the browser I used so I switched back to Firefox. Same problem with Firefox but with one exception: I could not designate a homepage of my own. It kept defaulting back to some searchqu.com. So after a little investigating, one suggestion to "clean up" my computer was to go to C:\Program Files\Windows iLivid Toolbar\Datamngr\ToolBar and delete the program. Other suggestions were to download this or that malware scanner (which I did) but nothing was detected. I didn't even know I had Ilivid installed on my computer. I went to the directory as suggested and found the program with an uninstall feature. I uninstalled it (I couldn't do an uninstall via Windows Control Panel because the program didn't show up in the list) and immediately after the uninstall my computer is 5+ times faster. I can't believe the change. Has anyone else had this experience with Ilivid?

puupia: I managed to find the dx10 patch after an hour of looking through various links. So far.. no problems.

I have to agree at the mo, it looks like dx11 is only available through windows 7.

Just didn't want to go through the process of redoing my o/s

(V): There is no DX11 for XP and i suppose Microsoft do not have plans to develop it in the future either. They have not made dx10 either for xp. There are some third party hacks for dx10 in xp, but i'm not very convinced about them. Maybe there will be third party versions of dx11 for xp but i wouldn't hold my breath.

As far as Linux goes, even older versions of dx do not run perfectly under Wine. Proper dx11 support might come some day but once again, do not hold your breath. OpenGL is the graphics standard in Linuxes anyway (of course DX includes more than just graphics).

So i guess only way to properly run dx11 software is to get Windows 7.

Now.. I know the answer is very probably no, but does anyone know of a method of updating from dx9 to dx11 without having to go through the hassle of updating my OS from XP to 7? I think I've gone as far as I can, re managing to find a dx10 update for XP, but I have not seen any that can take me from dx10 to dx11 without redoing my Windows OS.

I'm also interested in what the likes of ubuntu can do regarding this matter.

MadMonkey: well, in libre-office it might be still more or less an office file, so to make sure it isnt that i would still try the .pdf (there are several freeware options in the www that do this job)

MadMonkey: Not an update from Microsoft that's screwed up things?

diogenysos: HI-ya, i had just tried that funny enough. I opened the Powerpoint file in libre-office (Linux ubuntu) and as in Office 2010, it looks fine on the screen. It just seems when it prints.

To me i am either missing something crazy when i design the files (but as i say, they look correct on screen) OR the only thing that connects the 2 systems is the copy of Microsoft Office i am using, as that is the same one on both systems

MadMonkey: did you try a different software? You should be able to export your office-files into a .pdf for example and then open and print it using the adobe reader (or better adobe acrobat if you have this commercial software).
And then, of course, you should try it on both printers :-D

if the problem isnt solved or at least concretized, i would suggest also to check if the paper tray is adjusted correctly...

SL-Mark: Well, in short. I am Secretary on the Committee of our Royal British Legion and the other day a member died and i had to put a notice up. All i did was found an old notice on the computer and changed the details (name & date etc..) and printed that off. It was all to one side .....that was all done on the club computer & printer

Anyway, i have been at home all week and thought i would sort out a few other notices & posters that need to go up. I have drawn new ones from scratch, but the same problems occur....and that is on my computer & printer.....most strange

MadMonkey: Okay, if you have set up print properties (page size, margins etc.) all correctly, then I would suspect the print driver. Check out the printer manufacture's website for enhanced versions.

SL-Mark: I used the guillotine on the first poster i did the other day lol

I will look at those links, BUT as i say, on screen and in print preview, EVERYTHING looks as it should.

I even just created a new Word poster with one thing on it...a Triangle of Snooker Balls and used Page layout ---> Position ---> Center of page (which it did great on screen) BUT then i printed it and no good, totally offset by about 1.5cm....

will goto bed and have a read, then look at those links in the morning....cheers anyway

or you can do it the hard way:

MadMonkey: a paper guillotine

not really a computer problem (or i would ask myself LOL) but more of a Microsoft office 2010 problem.

I am trying to create a couple of basic posters, but want them to look nice. On the screen they look great, all centralized etc..... BUT when i print them they are always offset. In other words, there is for example a 3 cm gap on the left, but a 5 cm one on the right..yet on screen as i say, everything seems fine.

I have tried different posters in Word and Powerpoint and on different computers and printers. I must be doing something, OR missing something completely ...any ideas anyone ???

ellieoop: i didnt buy the guarantee... must check the invoice, but if so, i didnt do it on purpose and they didnt charge...

diogenysos: Nice.. Especially as the battery might still be ok giving you a spare

diogenysos: did you buy the warranty? if you did that's why you didn't have to send it back. amazon will replace it one time. i love the kindle and i bought the warranty and i'm glad to hear that they replaced it.

(V): and Amazon just sent me a new "kindle" e-reader for free. I broke mine, stepped on it. They didnt even ask me to send my device back.

wetware: I got Microsoft to send a Windows disk free of charge to us. They made it that a certain laptop manufacturer could not issue such for reinstalling Windows if the likes of a virus overrun or hard disk failure. All I had to do was email a copy of the document I got off the manufacturer.

(V): This week my TV (only 3.5 years old) lost the ability to power on.  I didn't opt for any extended warranty; the original warranty expired a couple of years ago.  But the manufacturer--through a subcontractor, I think--is going to make the repair in my home, and free of charge.  A not-so-small miracle!

Artful Dodger: So say all the consumer experts. N' our UK regulatory body called "Trading Standards" recon goods should last about 6 years at least. Well, that is what I was told during a telephone convo.

Bernice: shhhhhh, not so loud!

Artful Dodger: you think V is right?...................W O W

rabbitoid: lol, true. And I think V is right: it's a con. They don't sell those policies except for the fact that they can make lots of money on them.

Bernice: It was disposed of as being not very long lived.

And yes.. really. People tend to get annoyed (well normal people) if their items tend to break just a few months after the manufacturers statuary 1 year guarantee ends. Plus the likelihood of a breakdown within this 1 year increases. Costly to the manufacturer in terms of having to replace goods within the one year, n' costly in terms of reputation regarding quality.

All products are made to last years

really?????


whatever happened to the "Disposable Society"

Artful Dodger: They have a word for these extended warranties in the UK...

CON JOB.

All products are made to last years, usually in electronics at least 5-6

That is just a measure of the confidence the seller has in his product. He's he says that there's a 219:450 chance that his product will go bust before the period is over :)

Just tried to sell me an extended warranty for 219.00. That's for one year and that's a discounted price. Usually it's over 300. Mind you I only paid 450 for the computer to begin with.

can anybody tell me how I can save a pic for backgrounds to emails??? Im using the OE ;)

MadMonkey: Had no choice the other day. Bought an HD and had to install windows. But now the drive keeps up with the rest of me beastie lol

(V): Yes and it can save a lot of hassle in the end. Start with a new clean system

BadBoy7: These are the options I try.

Try going back to an earlier restore point. The option to restore to an earlier saved stable operating system can work .. you should find it through the control panel.

If not... You can try repair windows.. ie boot via your windows cd and attempt a repair.

I'd say try reinstalling the drivers for the laptop re the internet/ethernet, etc via another pc and reinstall them... but it sounds like it's too far gone for that.

Format and reinstall windows via your windows cd is probably the best idea.

BadBoy7: Sorry abou tthe delay, my Modem blew up so not been about

Like i said, it seems pretty bad, but without seeing it (and your along way from me lol)its hard to tell. When things starting geting bad, sometimes you can create more problems by trying to fix the ones you have. My advie would be to Format it & re-instal Windows (or take it back to Factory settings if possible)

MadMonkey: it don't have any internet connection...my pc mechanic told me he thinks it wiped win-sock out cause there's not even any sound audio in it now

BadBoy7: Are you actually getting any Anti virus or Malware messages ?


If so and you have a flash drive and internet access anywhere, download and run Remove Fake Anti Virus.

Sadly, these problems are really hard to solve unless you actually see the screen

MadMonkey: when it got a trojan worm i ran Iobit malware Fighter and it found it and i quarentined it be4 that i had Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware but after the trojan it disabled it and wont let me run that 1...it also wont let me put up my firewall or any security..it even locked up and stopped my anti virus AVAST and not it is saying there is NO internet thingy so it wont conect to the internet to be able to re download any anti virus says something about the internet being disabled

BadBoy7: Without actually seeing what it is saying, it sounds like Malware has infected the machine.

If you cant get on the internet then you have problems, unless you can download onto a flash drive and plug that in. You need to run Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware. If that is not an option, try to take anything important off the pc and do a system restore. Personally i would take it back to factory settings and start fresh.

This is just another reason not to use Windows lol

my g/f has a little Mini HP laptop pc and the other night it went nuts and wouldnt do anything...so tday it says it has NO INTERNET CONNECTION...there is NOT even any internet icon at bottom...what does she have to do to get it so it will hook up??? also when it is loading other stuff like on the desk top it freezes and brings up numerious help pop ups and locks up and she has to keep re booting it and then same thing again and again
