Throw it upwards against the roof and see what happens.

[Rad Lionheart]

Shake it around until everything is right-side up again.

"Photoshop CS" and "ImageReady CS" is good enough for me. ^^

I usually animate my things on Flash or Animation Shop anyways.

Well last night i was looking at one of the threads on this board about someone linking to a site about a rare megaman 1 cart with 5 screws right? ..
Well after i looked a bit, i closed the window. And i dont think i was quite paying attention, but i was midnlessly clicking stuff here on the board, and some IE window popped up saying megastuff.webs.com ..i immediately closed it before the page could load.

My heart starting pounding for a minute or 2, so then i decided to just run some anti-malware and virus checks all last night just in case.

It took 5 and a half hours for the AntiMalware Bytes program to scan nothing found, good. i went asleep. After it was done at 4 AM i woke up and then started a AVG scan and stayed awake this morning while it went. At aroudn 7:30 AM this morning, it was still going after 2 hours 40 minutes...then suddenly my hard drive started having a heart attack or something making heartbeat noises.
It would sound like in the form of a heartbeat of 2 pulses per second or two. So i immedately shut off my comp and kept it off for about 2 minutes, turned it back on..been okay since then.

This is the 2nd time now i believe this has happened, and it really had my heart pounding hard. The last time it happened was EXACTLY the same result...while scanning with AVG, after a few hours and it wasn't done...the hard drive started making those heartbeat noises.

It's about to die soon isn't it ??

[Rockmon]

Sounds like your HDD is dying due to a mechanical failure. Get a new HDD ASAP and start backing [parasitic bomb] up.

Just updating on my issue, since it's now over and done with.

The new profile thing helped, but it brought up a whole slew of issues, like it'd do the freezing thing on Firefox's boot up or while going to look at my saved passwords. Boo. Anyway, I got the new Firefox update and ran it. The program froze on restart and screwed up Firefox permanently. So, it's time for the age-old solution: Uninstall without removing setting and clean install it. Problems all went away.

It still makes me wonder what was causing it. Bit rot maybe? This was a Firefox I ported over from my computer about five years ago and have updated constantly since.

[Shiki Tohno]

That's very strange, actually. I see no reason why it should've crashed on you merely because it was an old installation you've been upgrading over the years. But as long as the problem's solved, it's all good I guess.

[Gotham Ranger]

We have 2 desktops and 5 laptops that don't work. Who wants to help?

[Shiki Tohno]

Holy [parasitic bomb], that sounds like a challenge.




Start firin'.

[Gotham Ranger]

Well, considering they either A) Can't be powered B) Won't turn on and C) Aren't with me because I'm at the library and don't have a way to get on the net at home, its gonna be kinda hard. I know alot of it is just general terrible hardware. As a matter of fact, 4 of them are Compaq Presarios. I think one has a fried mother board, two of them won't power on at all, and one is just a formatted mess with no working CD drive.

[Rockmon]

well you could always transplant optical drives providing all the other [parasitic bomb] works.

[Shiki Tohno]

Hell, if the two desktops aren't fried, you can always transplant some of the components from one to the other to make a working one.

I dont know why, but im having trouble seeing avatars on RPM. they just dont show up sometimes. that includes my own.
any help?

[borockman]

No worries, you're not alone. Heck, I've been reuploading it for 3-4 times...
And now, I'm using a photobucket link as my avatar, not the usual file attachment.

[Flame]

huh, so the issue is something with RPM itself?

[Sniper X]

I dont know why, but im having trouble seeing avatars on RPM. they just dont show up sometimes. that includes my own.
any help?

I have the same problem too. Well, lets use borockman's method thrn.

[Shiki Tohno]

Since the avatars aren't really being stored in the actual database, but uploaded to the server (and then the database stores the URL to them), it might just be that the database is simply timing out in requesting the images. Nothing to worry about, really.

[Flame]

just annoying is all.

[Blackhook]

I´ve got one: For some reason I can´t upload bigger images or zip files to the internet...but downloading is working just fine

[Flame]

Nvmd. it was "K-Lite" or some such rot.

Posted on: May 12, 2009, 11:52:03 PMHey, could anyone recommend a good Free DVD media converter and burner that DOESN'T leave a watermark?

[Rockmon]

DVD>whatever or the other way? Videora for converting from DVD
