Re: [H] Problems with 'Unlocker'
I would like to know about this too, Steve. Hope some of our friends can give us some information. I have an older version, which only helps about 50% of the time. I am hesitant to download and install the newer version after your question appeared. Your six is clear, just rest the nose on the horizon and enjoy the sunset. Jeff Early this morning, I was cleaning up some files, transferring them to various disks/servers when I came upon a mp4 file that would not move. I copied it over ok, but when I went to delete it, Windows would hang at 'Calculating...' and I had to cancel. I tried the direct delete, that had the same problem. So I installed Unlocker 1.89. It installed but I couldn't get it to start. I searched and found that there was a 1.92 version. That installed and worked and I was able to delete the file. Then the fun began. I tried to go to Control Panel and the window was empty. In fact, even searching gave no results. I tried windows explorer and although I got the libraries, no drives showed up. Finally I just did a System Restore and all was fine. I guess this is just a heads up as something screwy had happened. Or is it just me. Steve

Re: [H] Query?
I've been with them since the 90's, also, and have had, generally, very good service from them. They have never been setup to give support of any kind and have very little knowledge, through CS, of specifics of their products other than what is published on their sites. They, normally, will tell you that right up front. I use Amazon, too, for many products. I have purchased items from Tiger Direct in the past and have no complaint concerning them. I only used Provantage once, mostly because they are too expensive, and had good service. Hope this helps, Duncan. Your six is clear, just rest the nose on the horizon and enjoy the sunset. Jeff Friday, May 02 2014, 15:38:02 I use all the above...Amazon, Newegg, Provantage. I have been using Newegg since the 90s and they have been very good to me when they have made mistakes, or I've had a problem. But I am always looking for price and reliability... Newegg is one of my vendors that does that for me and has been easy to deal with although I hate getting stuck with state taxes! At 02:54 PM 5/2/2014, you wrote: I have no issues with either.

Re: [H] Three Monitor Mania!
Jim, You probably already knew this, but, just in case. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0_nkw =HD+6750+video+card+_sacat=0_from=R40 Your six is clear, just rest the nose on the horizon and enjoy the sunset. Jeff Several years ago I purchased a HIS H675F1GD Radeon HD 6750 1GB 128-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card with Eyefinity. At the time, I was just running two monitors off the HDMI and DVI ports. I recently wanted to add our HDTV to the mix, but the 3rd port is a DisplayPort. As a short cut, I added a second video card (a Radeon, but of a different version). Things worked but later I noticed that the Catalyst software was not working and I could not upgrade the drivers. I assumed it was because of the two different Radeon versions. So I went in search of a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter cable. Found it was not easy or straight forward. There were active and passive converters. Some worked for some people, other people felt Eyefinity was a disaster and running three monitors (where one of them WAS NOT a DisplayPort equipped monitor) was not possible. I took a chance and purchased an Active converter. It arrived and, of course, it DID NOT work. So, I seem to have four options: 1) Purchase a new monitor (too expensive and I already have the monitor), 2) Purchase another HD 6750 video card (which don't seem to be easily available - being old), 3) purchase a new video card that DOES do 3 monitors, NONE of which is a DisplayPort Monitor, or 4) Purchase 2 identical new cards. So, I am looking for firsthand experience with people who have successfully run a setup with 3 or more monitors (with DVI or HDMI inputs). When you read the forums you see lots of people saying I heard it CAN be done, but few that have actually accomplished the task. I read that there are nVidia cards that can do 4 monitors (but only 3 in a surround environment and the 4th as a ???). So, suggestions? I appreciate the input and suggestions. This has been such a frustration experience for what should be a simple task. Jim Maki jwm_maill...@comcast.net
Re: [H] Nvidia drivers
Duncan, I have used their Nvidia drivers for years and have never had the slightest negative issue with them, no matter the hardware I had installed.until the latest one mentioned here.

Your six is clear, just rest the nose on the horizon and enjoy the sunset. Jeff Once again, different strokes for different folks. gForce Experience caused me crashes updating the drivers.

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. Bobby He can reboot his computer in safe mode and look at both the StartUp items and the run entries in the registry (might be best for him to run msconfig to do this) and find the name of the software.

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. But after he did the work and left, I ran it again. www.winterlight.org/speed.jpg

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. What I'm trying to do is stretch my screen image to fill the monitor and I'm missing the rightmost inch. 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?

I've tries using the nVidia utilities installed on my comp to stretch the screen image, but no joy. Does anyone know where I can look to find a WinXP .inf file for this monitor?

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?

In years past(!) many 3rd party printer supplies were generally sub-standard or less than pick an adjective!. 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.

Yepand it's just like the old monitors in that case.the TV people would have advised him regarding that. You can bet it took a long time to do that and leaving the image on the TV for many hours at a time. It's like if you leave channels like Sc-Fi or USA that have their logos on most of the time and run the TV 24 hours a day, it will burn in over a period of timesame with running X-Box, or other games, with the same game for days 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] Surge suppressor / power filter
I'm running a Belkin F6C1100-UNV, 1100VA, UPS. It has worked flawlessly through several power outages, and, has done the automatic shut down routine once with no problems. The accompanying software gives all the levels and battery conditions real-time. I've just been very impressed with it.

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. I found that the wired router was nearly dead, really plugging up the works, so removed it, and once the wireless had been properly reset, it installed like a dream and I'm up and flying. Once again, thanks to all of you for the help. Jeff
