Does anyone know enough about wireless internet connections? My cousin has one and although it finds some hotspots, most of the good ones are password protected and secured while the unsecured Linksys connections pretty much sucks and doesn't work at all sometimes. Does anyone have a solution for this problem?

Ask for their WEP.

Tickle Buffalo · **Reply #427 on:** December 24, 2009, 04:12:59 AM

You could try getting your own connection instead of trying to steal other people's internet?

Wep keys solve everything. You can get it from his router. It should be somewhere on it.

Unless he's changed it to something else.

Call HP for tech support. None of us can support you here actively.

web pages keep opening up by themselves for vacation advertisements and randomly my computer restarts on its own. Is this worm/virus? Help would be appreciated.

Okay my friend recently got this Mp4,video, mp3 player called:
DMTech MP409. I plug it in first, forgetting to install drivers from cd. It loads fine and computer finds it. Okay i say and load in a regular mp3.
Runs and plays fine. I put in a AVI file:
Can not read file, wrong file format. Um it's a AVI!
So i install the program from the cd called Avi converter. I convert the file and put it on the inbuilt hard drive.
Can not read file, wrong file format.
I then read the instruction manual, it cleary says how to do it. So i follow the instructions.
Can not read file, wrong file format.
Maybe it needs to uptade firmware? So i install the Refresh Firmware program according to the manual. I also try install the drivers FOR the USB from the cd.
Better drivers already installed. Okay fine. I load up the program and....
Can not find USB.
I check the cable and it's plugged in. So i uninstall the usb and XP instant installs it again.

Grr... what should i do? I really wanna try at least 1 video on the player. He already have a working MP3 player so this would be nice to view videos on the bus or car rides.

Your power supply is overheating. Upgrade it.

I'm hoping I could get a second opinion on this problem so here it goes.

I recently bought Left 4 Dead 2 and played that for an hour, but then when I played Modern Warfare 2, the graphics were all glitched up. Basically, there were these random lines popping up everywhere. All over the weapon models, player models, and all over the maps. The weird thing is that this didn't happen until today right when after installing L4D2.

These are my specs:
Windows Vista
Dell Inspiron 1420 Laptop
Nvidia GeForce 8400M GS
Intel Duo Core T5250 @ 1.50 GHz
2 GB RAM
28.5 GB of free space

I know the graphics card is a little old (I've had my laptop for about 2 years), however, it ran MW2 just fine on low settings. It ran COD4 and Left 4 Dead and Team Fortress 2 just fine as well on fairly low settings. I downloaded the latest drivers to see if that'll fix anything, but it didn't work. I don't think reinstalling the games would do anything either since I recently installed Day of Defeat: Source, but the graphics were still messed up.

What can I do to fix this problem?

Rad Lionheart · **Reply #437 on:** December 30, 2009, 01:30:58 AM

I'd blame Infinity Ward.

lizardcommando · **Reply #438 on:** December 30, 2009, 01:53:32 AM

Now now, I know they really screwed the PC gamers, but they did good with COD4... But seriously though, how do I fix this problem?

Rad Lionheart · **Reply #439 on:** December 30, 2009, 05:35:39 AM

Oh I know it's a decent game, but the PC port is worse than...Halo 2!

But uh, I don't know.
Clean installed the new drivers?
Often times when I had a problem, I would make a manual clean up of the old drivers then install the newest ones.

Otherwise I don't know what could help, your card isn't that great, and it's a bit dated.
Perhaps trying to force an earlier DirectX would help clear it up?
Or maybe DX needs an update?

Hmmm, I dunno if it's a correct thread but...

I have a problem. I'm in the mood for some EY-AM-VEE making, but Sony Vegas creates problems.

You see, some of the videos I want to use, are encoded using ffdshow, instead of xvid or divx.
And those videos are played by pretty crappy. As in, the video is so glitchy, it's impossible to do anything with it.

So, I have a question... can I somehow solve it without re-encoding most of my friggin' videos?

Also, I have FFdshow installed and am using Vegas 8.

Dunno if this should be here, but whatever.

Ok, right now I'm trying to install Umineko no Naku Koro Ni in my laptop, but the installation just won't work, it always freezes and I have to cancel it =/ Oh, and I'm using Vista.

RMX · **Reply #442 on:** December 31, 2009, 01:51:59 AM

Happened to me the other when installing Chiru. Run the install through AppLocale and it would work properly. Make sure you've installed eastern languages compatibility. If when you run ON-Scripter you get that Umineko won't work on Vista, try using Compatibility Mode set on XP SP3, it worked for me on W7

Solar · **Reply #443 on:** December 31, 2009, 02:09:50 AM

I used AppLocale to run the launcher, and it was fine, but when I clicked Install the installer was using those weird symbols instead of Japanese and the installation never finishes =/ If I try to use AppLocale with the installer directly it won't even open =/

Sounds like a Browser Hijacker and possibly a Trojan. I recommend Malware byte's Anti Malware. It's absolutely free, and performs as good as something you would pay for. Unlike Spyware Doctor, you don't have to pay to delete infections.

Well, if you grow desperate try doing the following:

- Copy the 'fullscr' folder to your hard drive. This seems to have all the files from the main install directory
- Now copy 'BGM', 'ME', 'movie', 'screenshot' (which is empty but w/e), 'SE' and 'sys_se' inside 'fullscr'
- Extract the English patch there

This is pure speculation on my part, but you should have all the files the VN uses. I don't think Umineko uses the registry or anything else. It's a freaking doujin VN after all.

Solar · **Reply #446 on:** December 31, 2009, 06:37:02 PM

Well, that did the trick. Thanks a lot.

Frozen Potato · **Reply #447 on:** January 01, 2010, 02:02:12 AM

Is there a program i could retrieve back any files better in a formatted harddrive?I still think Recover My Files sucks.......cause it recovered a huge number of renamed junk i dont even know what it is

ಠ_ಠ · **Reply #448 on:** January 08, 2010, 08:19:15 AM

Well if you formatted your drive, it's theoretically possible assuming you didn't put very many files on it after formatting it but such a pain in the ass that it's not worth it.

Does anyone know a good program for playing .mkv videos besides VLC and Perian?

Rad Lionheart · **Reply #449 on:** January 08, 2010, 08:24:16 AM

Media Player Classic? I'm sure it probably plays .mkv
