Re: [H] Reveton ransomware
Have you tried opening the Command Prompt via F8 and run rstrui.exe to run system Restore at an earlier date. The current one will probably be infected, so he should go back a bit if he can. Good luck. Jeff You're six is clear, just put your nose on the horizon and enjoy the sunrise. Jeff Thanks Julian. I tried to get him into safe mode. He cannot do anything there. He gets the same ransom screen in safe mode as regular mode.

Re: [H] -OT- Wayne Johnson
Good luck and God bless, Wayne Jeff and Johanna Lane Subject: [H] -OT- Wayne Johnson An update as of August 15 The medical stuff it was a mixed bag. The good news is there was never anything wrong with my kidney or arteries to it. The bad news is there seems to be very little that can be done about my critically high BP or adrenal problems. The only way I can keep it somewhat under control is to stay on the meds to stay in bed 24/7. 1 set of Docs said I had a kidney blockage while another set of Docs said I never had a blockage the doc doing the angioplasty also stated there was no blockage which hurt like hell because of my artery walls are so thick hard. Oh, this is not the end of it as he stated that he's found several other blockages in both of my legs has the next surgery scheduled for 09-02 with more to come. One of the arteries in my right leg may be blocked so badly that I'll need bypass surgery in the leg. The angioplasty Dr. recommends another try at getting thru the plaque build up while the kidney Dr. recommends a bypass. I'm to follow up with my family Dr. on Tues 08-17 Oh! It seems that I've forgotten to notify some of you others I sent basically duplicates. My Apologies. Keep up the good works thanks for all the get well wishes. OBTW In spite of all this I'm still a SA. LOL For the people that don't know what SA means; it's basically means I'm a funny wise guy still. OK, sometimes I'm not so funny but I try.

It was over on the Win-Home list, too, T We've all got him in our prayers. Jeff Subject: [H] -OT- Wayne Johnson I got this from Wayne yesterday, and I thought I'd pass it on, as he is a long time member of the collective. T I'm scheduled to have surgery the 2nd week of Aug. [Exact date time to be determined] Part of it is to repair where they messed up my right leg when placing the 1st cardiac stint 3½ yrs ago the other part is to place a stint in the artery just above the left kidney that will save the kidney hopefully lower my BP an appreciable amount.. I'll be going to a better hospital w/ a better Cardiologist in Columbus, OH. If all goes well I'll go in one day have the surgery then they'll release me the next day. In the mean time I've got to try keep my BP below critical which it hasn't been for a long time. Last week at the family Dr. it was 264/122 I thought I was done for but stopped some medications seemed to help. At least this week by BP was down to 228/128 so that's a little better Now all I have to do is to keep up the good work w/ the help of my dear wife who recently became a CMA [Certified Medical Assistant] who graduated 2nd in her class Nationally was only in the 99 percentile. vbg Now if she could find a job in the middle of this corn field.

Comcast developed the technology, and everybody else licenses it--including Cox and Time Warner Cable. -Original Message- Subject: [H] cable upgrades I have a COX cable Premium account and I pay though the nose for it. Their basic entry level account is 19 bucks a month and I pay 56 for 10 down and 2 up. But this week they upgraded my area to doc3. Surprisingly they will be able to update the firmware in my Motorola Surfboard doc2 modem without me doing anything. Before they did that they called me to come out and check my lines to make sure everything was in order and because their tests indicated my modem was out of range... which turned out to be caused by a filter on my line. They tell me after the upgrade they will be able to deliver up to 45 down.The timing was fortuitous because I have a new Plasma TV on the way . They cable guy was great, he checked all my fittings, checked the drop line and replaced all the connectors gave me new splitters and even made a special cable for me for my plasma which isn't hear yet. But the real thrill was doing speed tests. Before he came this morning I did a speed test, the one Cox tech uses, and I got 10.9 down and 4 up which is better then what I am paying for.

Mike, I have an Acer P235H, 22 and I control it through the nvidia driver software. I have XP Pro SP3 and Win7 Ultimate in a dual boot, and it should work the same way on Vista. Windows sees the monitor with no problem, but I had to install the nvidia drivers for my two GeForce 9500 GT's to be able to set the proper resolution, 1900 X 1080 for my monitor. It's perfect.

I've been googling for hours and all I can find is a Vista .inf file (on Acer web site and elsewhere) - which Win/XP doesn't like. I wouldn't mind running as Default Monitor except I can not stretch my screen image to fill the rightmost side of my monitor (missing about 1 inch).

Mike, If you like I will send you, off list, my users manual, it's only 1.9mb, so it should go through. It covers the use of the on screen display controls in detail.

I'm currently running WinXP/SP2 (not SP3), not Vista and not Win7. I have the exact same card as you - nVidia 9500GT. I'm running GeForceION Driver Release 196.21 [WHQL] It doesn't bother me that XP identifies the monitor as Default Monitor.

Even though I'm using the nVidia control panel to Adjust Desktop Size and Image there seems to be a hard boundary about 1 from the right edge. All I can do is move the image but not stretch it. When I move it the right edge disappears behind this boundary and items on the right side of my desktop slide under this boundary and can't be seen. Are there any controls available on the nVidia Control Panel that would let me stretch or resize my desktop image? Or perhaps some free/open source utilities available?

Re: [H] Remanufactured toner shelf life
What I refer to as 3rd party is the online sellers and your corner toner refill outlets, as opposed to the way over-priced OEM products. Hope that is a little clearer. I, also, refill black inkjet cartridges when I can. I have an HP PhotoSmart 3850 and am very dissatisfied with the longevity of the HP cartridges. The color ones last no time at all and I see some of the refillers are starting to offer them online. I have heard, can't substantiate it, though, that the OEM color cartridges, all 5 of them, are short fills by design and the refills are full loads. Anyone know if that's true?

Times have changed greatly, and, most 3rd party suppliers have wised up and greatly improved the products they offer to make money with their offers. The majors rightly have lost this retail space to the 3rd party products for a variety of reasons. Mostly old anti-trust regulations.. Printers (laser and ink-jet) today are mostly appliances now.

You can bet it took a long time to do that and leaving the image on the TV for many hours at a time.

Re: [H] New TV.
Ours has a white setting to almost eliminate burnin. They give you lots of ways to get around it. Decent manual and online help. You can get a 1080p for 11-1200 bucks, or a 720p, which we have, in the 7-800 bracket. A little shopping and maybe you can trim some off of that and sell the wife on it. They have HDMI, DVI, composite, coax, and optical inputs, and some other stuff. We have Dish Network and a VIP722 DVR HiDef tuner, Phillips DVD, and a digital Yamaha sound system which all couple up very well.

[H] Asus m/b and CPU
Hi folks, I recently bought an Asus P5N32-E SLI mother board and have a dual core Intel 2.66Ghz 805 SL8ZH. Does anyone know if these two are compatible? The m/b handles a very wide range of processors, including dual core. I have no way to set it up yet as it is going to be a major upgrade to my ancient Athlon system and other stuff is enroute. Right now I really can't afford to upgrade that processor so this is why I am asking the question before I tear the old system apart. I have never been faced with this question building a new box. I bought this stuff off craigslist in reverse sequence, CPU first. You have to get them when they popup. Operation is not an issue here, they all work very well. I have been unable to Google a site that shows compatibility, so I figured some of my tech buddies may be able to help. Thanks, Jeff

Re: [H] Possible router failure
Thanks to everyone. Derrick, the NIC suggestion was great, but not the answer, unfortunately. Duncan gets the gold star. That reset method does work very well. It seems to clear everything.

Once again, thanks to all of you for the help. Jeff

Ok, you say the BEFSx41 was working just fine until you plugged into WRT54G into it. Try this... go into your WRT54G Linksys Bios under Setup do you see the MAC address clone tab? Press the clone your PCs MAC address and see if that doesn't bring it back a live. You can also try this in the BEFSx41. I have three different Linksys routers, including a WRT54G set up to isolate my LAN from my WAN. It took me months to get it working right and it was eventually Linksys tech support that got it working. They will solve the problem, but it is a really teeth grinding, annoying call to make. You will get tech support somewhere in the East. They follow a set procedure that seems tedious, and unnecessary. But they know things about their routers that you will never figure out. And if you do exactly what they say, they will solve the problem. And if you get somebody that says it can't be done... call back another time until you get a smarter tech. In my case, I made many calls to tech support, and it was the only way I eventually got all the problems solved. Were you having the same slow connection issues when the wired router was connected? The wireless works fine, except very slow as it my PC which is connected to the wired router.

It sounds like he may have an incoming signal problemthat was the issue here. It turned out that one of the connectors in the underground utilities box had a very slight crack and even changes in barometric pressure would case an outage. It would eventually come back on by itself. I fought with Comcast for two years until one of my neighbors installed broad band and had one outage right after another, right out of the box. Ironically there was a Comcast truck working on the box at the corner, on an unrelated call, at the same time they were trying to get the other folks up and running. Neither could find anything until one of the got a flat disconnect...then they finally agreed it was in their system! The guy in the box found it after an hour or so and it's been fine ever since.

T Date: Wed, 3 Oct 2007 09:36:11 -0300 To: hardware@hardwaregroup.com From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [H] Motorola SB5101 I have a customer who is getting disconnect problems with his SB5101 (provided by his ISP.) He surfs for 5 to 10 minutes, then it disconnects (he get's page not found) for about five minutes, then it comes back up for 5 to 10 minutes. I looked at the modem log file, and the date keeps reverting back to 1970 in the log entries. In my experience, that is due to a provisioning problem at the ISP (wrong modem in their configuration) but of course, they are blaming his router (which is from us, and I used it for twelve hours on my SB5101 at home and it worked fine.) I don't know enough about the log entries to be able to tell him, see this error, this proves a modem problem and I can't find anything useful googling the errors (except that it might be a firmware problem, but I don't see anywhere to download firmware.) Does anyone have more information (or a place I can get more information) on the SB5101s?

Random disconnects. Sounds like his are acute, though, as mine were spread out over much longer and varied time lengths. It sounds like he may have an incoming signal problemthat was the issue here. It turned out that one of the connectors in the underground utilities box had a very slight crack and even changes in barometric pressure would case an outage. It would eventually come back on by itself. I fought with Comcast for two years until one of my neighbors installed broad band and had one outage right after another, right out of the box. Ironically there was a Comcast truck working on the box at the corner, on an unrelated call, at the same time they were trying to get the other folks up and running. Neither could find anything until one of the got a flat disconnect...then they finally agreed it was in their system! The guy in the box found it after an hour or so and it's been fine ever since. I really hope this helps and is just another option. Good luck getting any help for the ISP. Thanks Jeff, I'll keep this in mind. It could be a signal problem as well, but of course, the ISP is claiming it isn't. T
Re: [H] Linksys or Netgear USB wireless adapter?
Veech, I have the Netgear 624 wireless router and the corresponding 108Mps PCMCIA card. We have had nothing but problems with them They constantly drop the WEP settings and will not accept the WPA settings at all. When they, one or the other, drop the security setting they disconnect and require resetting the security parameters. The router has the latest firmware upgrade and is being used as an Access Point off of my wired Linksys BEFSx41 router which has never given me the slightest problem. Just my little bit, my own experiencehope it helps. Advise you check some of the news groups as I understand this is very common. Check the buyers comments on Newegg...there are a lot of them that bear this out.

Sorry, Veech, I'm not familiar with that. Jeff Subject: Re: [H] Linksys or Netgear USB wireless adapter? h... thanks for the feedback.

Thisis a last minute thing that has come up, I need a solution as soon as possible, i.e. something available at Best Buy, Circuit City or Fry's. I'm looking for a security camera that can be mounted remotely, is motion sensored and can send data to a PC or recording device such as a DVR when it detects motion.

Re: [H] OT - Eggs in the dirt...
OT - Eggs in the dirt...Any dinosaurs spotted in the area lately? Sent: Sunday, July 01, 2007 1:10 PM Subject: [H] OT - Eggs in the dirt... Since the list is so quiet today, I though I might be able to get by with an OT question. I was digging a trench in my yard yesterday near the edge of my yard to install a new sprinkler head. I dug up 3 eggs that were about 3/4 long or so. Anyone have any idea as to what kind of eggs they could be? Where I dug them up, there is a creek about 40' away. So my guess is that they are some sort of turtle eggs. I Live in SC if that helps any (and no, they are not sea turtle eggs as I don't live near the coast). Thanks, Bobby
