You going senile?

I've always used Firefox for testing my animated gifs. Always.
Proof is that some of them, like the Power Quest, Star Tropics and Protoman gifs in my topic would be too slow on the other browsers.

...When Larry the reploid accountant goes maverick of his own accord, he's certainly formidable during tax season, but he isn't going to provide X the challenge needed to make him grow as a warrior and reach his potential.

Yes.

Senility always used to bully me in school.


I'm never going to forgive it.

Whether or not it was already discussed, this is still a Computer Problem & Discussion thread. There's nothing wrong with restated info especially if someone wants to know it all.

Going back to my previous question, does anyone know of actual free antiviurs that will allow me to get rid of malware like "Antivirus XP Pro"? Iy has infected my computer and if wasn't for the fact that I could reinstall XP on my computer, I would have lost my PC! Does anyone know of a [tornado fang]ing antivirus that will catch "Antivirus XP" so that I would not be able to get that [tornado fang] screen again?! I am sorry to say that but still that is how I feel and  I AM NOT TAKING CHANCES this time, I tried Spyware Doctor but it requires me to pay and I don't know any other program that is that effective against this!   ;^;  >BD  :W

Does anybody know of a good .MKV player for mac that isn't VLC or mplayer, and doesn't require me to compile a goddamn sourcecode?

Get both Avira Antivir and Spybot: Search and Destroy, and run them both in Safe Mode.



Your fault for downloading [parasitic bomb] without knowing what it is and browsing using Internet Explorer, and letting EVERYONE in the house use the computer as Administrators. Under the proper security conditions, that piece of shitware wouldn't even be able to get near your system, and unfortunately for you, it falls within the responsibility limits of the users to make sure their security is up to scratch.

For a few weeks now I have been experiencing some trouble when it comes to playing video files (.flv) which I ripped from YouTube and the likes using FlashGot. Ever since a certain point several days ago, none of my players is capable of initiating playback anymore when I try to run the video. At first I thought it was a problem with FlashGot itself, if it might not be able to rip properly anymore. But I tested both the latest version and some older versions of it and the problem remains. All files of that format I downloaded prior to that moment still work however.



Rockmon

what player are you using?

So, my computer when I came back to it was on a black screen with the words "Operating System Not Found", which is bullshit because here I am. Its also been freezing every few hours while it makes a sound that sounds like its looking for a floppy disk, except I have none in the drive.

My hard drive is about to fail, isn't it?

Media Player Classic. However, once those problems started I tested some other players (WMP, Zoom) but nothing changed. And as I said, .flv files I downloaded before these problems began still work.

Saber> Have you done any installations recently of any codecs or something of the sort? Something recently installed might have screwed up your file and codec associations. Let me know.

Gotham> I'm very afraid so.

Gotham Ranger

Rockmon: Its a combination. Its Head Damage 1's clicking at Head Damage 3's speed.

DZ/Shiki: Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

Rockmon

Gotham> BACK UP YOUR [parasitic bomb] NAO!

Saber> Use VLC, it has all the codecs built in.

If you have one or have a friend who can lend you one, it's preferable you get an external drive big enough to hold up all your important data and back that up NOW. According to your description, the drive's VERY close to physical failure.

He's been backing his stuff up on flash drives he has, considering he's reformatted this computer about ten times recently just to get it to run Windows 98SE.

Not that I would be aware of it. As a matter of fact, the ONLY codec pack I ever installed on this notebook (at least to my knowledge) was the CCCP on the very evening I got this laptop (Christmas Eve last year). I wouldn't know of anything else that I could have installed. And like I said, stuff that I previously downloaded from YouTube and other Flash related sites are still working perfectly, it's just the stuff that I want to download now that does not work. I completely removed the FlashGot plugin I have for Firefox and then reinstalled an older version of it to see if perhaps the malfunctioning might have been caused by an update or anything, but the situation remains the same.

Try uninstalling both, restarting, and then reinstalling. And make sure you're installing the latest versions.
Oh my [tornado fang]ing god, its been for like a month already and it doesn't work. I can't see the youtube videos in this site. -AC  Ok, uninstall both of them. Restarting. I downloaded the latest versions, Java: Version 6 Update 13 and Adobe Flash Player: Version 10.0.22.87. What's next?

Wait, you're using the MPC that's packed with CCCP?

I have similar problems with that specific player, so I just went and download another MPC.
The videos will work on the new MPC, ver 6.4.9.1.

I'm watching you all. Always watching.
