Well, I did not bother with any other Media Player Classic versions because all versions I tried so far except for the one packed with CCCP gave me trouble with my Vista theme.

Um well, first you have to find out what the exact laptop or printer you have (manufacturer, model, stuff), and then go to the official website to see if XP or Vista drivers are available for it. If there aren't any drivers available, you have to use some kind of "driver detective" or something that's actually helpful (and free >v<). A driver search engine program that help you find the right drivers.

Your laptop has a couple of things installed, and you have to make research, find out what graphics card you have, sound card, everything that's important to you, and then go to the official websites for those things and download drivers all over the place. It takes a long time, but make sure you save everything on a CD or something if you need them later. >U<

Yeah. My PE teacher pretty much said the same thing... Go to the site the printer is from, and download drivers from there if they have them, alternatively, have them send me a disc with the drivers. (In the case I dont want to download it)

Thanks.

I had dealt with my computer virus but now it has infected my brother's MP3 player due to there being a certain folder that had been infected. I am planning to format the thing but I don't want to lose any of the the songs, do you where I can back it up?

Scan the damn thing with Avira, and do a thorough scan.

No simple way to do that. You need to strip the subtitles first into a separate file, and then convert the video, and then paste the subtitles on and create a hardsub version.

let me guess, the whole goddamn browser just disappears in the middle of a video and gives you some bullshit about error reporting?

I need to install .Net Framework 3.5, but when it's installing it always gives me an error and never finishes. Any help here?

And just in case, no, I don't think my version of Windows XP is original >_>

Can you give me the install error code? I haven't really done any deep troubleshooting with .net 3.5, but all the .net installers have almost the exact same error codes, and I had to deal with a few of them on 2.0, so I might be able to help you.

Photobucket resizes big images. Upload to Tinypic or Imageshack so I can see clearly, I can barely read what's in there.

Uh, first a bigger problem. If I try to open Firefox everything just freezes and it takes a LONG time to close. No idea what's happening since it was perfectly fine in the morning =/

Oh well, I'll use IE/Chrome meanwhile.

Okay here is a odd problem.

I can be surfing the internet and the browsers internet can just up and stop working. It can't connect to any new sites or anything. However starting a online game is fine, connects and have no lag at all.

But the browser won't work at all. FireFox and Internet Explorer doesn´t matter which i use.

There is nothing i can see in the network settings that can be causing this issue. There is two Vista computers and one WinXp computer connected to the network. The Windows Xp never have any problem, only Vista ones seems to have this issue. I connected a brand new laptop to it and it got the same problem.

I even got a new router and still same issue.

So what is causing this?

It could be the reigon or the amount of KB usage, I had this problem too, (turning on and off, randomly) but it was resolved by less KB usage.

I figured this out when playing Cave Story~

So its about ass now huh? EVEN THE ASS HAS 'EXCEEDED'!

One mention of LEGENDS and everyone goes batshit.  :\

Yep, every time when someone mentions that game people get energized for an apparent reason whatsoever. It's like this everywhere else, trust me.

It got really messy to find my sprite and comic topic, so it's in my sig.

You might want to perform a scan check for data consumption, for how much data is being used up on your hardware first, then check internet connections for problems after.
